Chapter 567: The new work is in the undertaker

A week after the opening of the Olympic Games, the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" plummeted to 25 million in the sixth week of screening. [Full text reading]

Many theaters have also gradually withdrawn the screen of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and then the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" should eventually stay at the position of 1 billion, unable to break through the 1.1 billion mark, and Shanghai Film Group has also begun to get box office dividends handed over by the eight major theater chains.

The current box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is 1.42 billion, which has made He Tiejun, who was promoted to Shanghai Film Co-Production, wake up with a smile in his dream, and the box office dividends will be down, if Gu Xiaofan makes a few more mainstream blockbusters, Shanghai Film will become the real overlord of Chinese films in the hands of He Tiejun.

He Tiejun called Gu Xiaofan with excitement, personally went to his home to visit his good brother, and read out the document of this dividend in front of Liu Shishi, Lou Yixiao, and Gu Xiaofan.

"At present, the total box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is 1.4213 billion yuan, and our group's dividend is 360 million ~ After deducting the cost of production and publicity, our net profit is 200 million."

He Tiejun swayed his two fingers in front of everyone with high spirits, but saw that Liu Shishi and Lou Yixiao were full of anger.

"Why are we so tired and tired to share so much money!?" Liu Shishi couldn't help but stare at Xingmu and said angrily.

"200 million profits, you're still too little......" He Tiejun coughed dryly, and couldn't help but explain with some embarrassment:

"The box office is not just the profit of our film company, the one billion box office is divided into four parts, first of all, five percent of the box office will be handed over to the Film Bureau as a 'national special development fund', and then 3.14 percent of the mainland film distribution and screening tax ......"

Lou Yixiao shouted angrily when she heard this: "I said that the Distribution and Projection Association is such a big organization, why does it run around the resorts every time it has a meeting!" It turned out that we had properly hacked our money to spend at public expense! ”

"Don't talk nonsense...... He Tiejun was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This money is used to develop and support our country's film industry...... Plus 5% of the commercial tax, after deducting this 8%, the rest of the box office is divided between us and the theater chain, and the 40% we get is 360 million......"

"Alas~! is blind, the grandsons in the theater line are lying down and making more than 500 million......" Lou Yixiao waved this little fist, and couldn't wait to smash the glass of Wanda Company directly......

He Tiejun couldn't explain speechlessly, just looked at Gu Xiaofan with a smile and said: "Xiaofan, we have earned 200 million this time, plus the barrage network has begun to make a profit, and the Zhejiang station in which we have a stake also has some profits, even if it is invested in "1942" and Jiang Wen's film, we are also rich, you can think about it now, what work you are going to make next~"

He Tiejun said with a red light on his face, and his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement: "I think we will make persistent efforts, take advantage of this momentum, and continue to make a few hero films, I inquired that Huayi has reached an agreement with Huang Jiguang's descendants to film the Korean War, we might as well shoot Dong Chengrui, or the Opium War Lin Zexu or something." ”

This time, the exquisite war scenes of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" made the audience addicted, and He Tiejun hoped that Gu Xiaofan could continue to shoot a series.

But Gu Xiaofan didn't speak for a long time when he listened, He Tiejun also noticed that something was wrong, and asked with some suspicion: "Xiaofan, don't you want to shoot these?" ”

"I already have a new theme." Gu Xiaofan smiled at this time: "Look at this is the script I wrote before." As he spoke, he took out a thick script that had been printed from the bookcase.

He Tiejun took the script, looked at the three words "The Undertaker" on it, and was stunned for a moment, and then flipped through it carefully, and was surprised to find that this was actually a story adapted from the novel "Menna Coffin Diary" by Japanese writer Aoki Shinmon.

"When did you buy the rights to adapt this novel?" He Tiejun looked at him in surprise.

"Probably a few years ago." Gu Xiaofan pursed his lips and said, he still wanted to buy the script adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" by the way, but he didn't expect that he hadn't been able to do so until now.

"En......" Although He Tiejun was reluctant, he still smiled and nodded: "It's really boring to always make movies of the same type, you should make some literary films to find a feeling, you artists must improve...... I understand, it's not too late for you to make those films after next year......"

As soon as she said this, Liu Shishi frowned slightly, and said, "...... next year?" Gu Xiaofan is going to develop overseas next year, I'm afraid I won't have time to take over these films anymore, Manager He, if you invite other directors in the factory, now Shangying should also expand other personnel, can't you give Gu Xiaofan the burden of development alone, right? ”

"What did you say?" He Tiejun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing an expression of disbelief, and turned his head to look at Gu Xiaofan:

"Xiaofan...... You're going to the United States next year, and you're not going to make domestic films? ”

Gu Xiaofan looked at He Tiejun's shocked and somewhat panicked gaze, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and nodded silently, Shanghai Film Co-Production Studio is thriving day by day, He Tiejun has just taken over again, and is about to show his strength, but he is going to leave him behind and conquer the overseas market.

He Tiejun has always treated him as a brother, no matter what decisions he makes this year, he has wholeheartedly supported him, and he has not put any big brother on the shelf at all, but everything has accommodated him.

To put it bluntly, he He Tiejun is a heart, holding him Gu Xiaofan in front of him, and he only wants Shangying to get better and better day by day.

At this time, he planned to withdraw temporarily, leaving Feng Xiaogang's "1942" and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", the two time bombs, I am afraid that He Tiejun's heart is about to collapse.

Of course, he also has arrangements for the domestic market of Shangying, but He Tiejun may not understand it now, after all, so far, the entire Shanghai United Production Studio has only their Black Feather Studio as a trump card.

But to Gu Xiaofan's surprise, He Tiejun sat on the sofa in a daze and was silent for a long time, and finally just smiled and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, I will support you!" ”

"Lao He~" Gu Xiaofan's eyes widened, and he stepped forward with some surprise and hugged He Tiejun's shoulder:

"Mommy~! Scared me to death, I thought you were going to cry and beg me to stay? I really don't know what to do......"

"Let go~! Don't be numb~ The girls are still looking at it~ Are you disgusting or not, the old men are so uneasy. He Tiejun angrily pulled Gu Xiaofan's hand away, and said very magnificently:

"I said that you are in charge of art, I am in charge of logistics, and you have a promise, how can I stand in your way?"

Saying that, He Tiejun waved to Liu Shishi, Lou Yixiao greeted him, and greeted loudly:

"I said girls, let's not talk about these sad things today, let's celebrate our billion box office today, let's go~ go to my old man's staff compound for a meal, I invite you to drink, let's not get drunk today~!"
