The box office of "Those Years" has accumulated to 39.1 billion in the mainland, 143 million in Taiwan, plus 31.67 million in Hong Kong, and the box office in China alone has reached 565.2 million, which has surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly", which was only in the mainland market in the same period, and has become the highest-grossing film of all the films shot by Li Xiaole.
And how much can Li Xiaole get in this money? The mainland deducts 5% of the "National Film Special Development Fund", plus 3.14% of the distribution and screening business tax, and Taiwan also deducts 9.7% of the "Film Auxiliary Development Fund".
Of the 565.2 million, only 92% of it, that is, 519.98 million profits are used for distribution, and Li Xiaole's profit as a production investor is 40% of it, and after deducting the commercial taxes and miscellaneous expenses of the three places, Li Xiaole's final profit is about 190 million.
Of course, it is impossible to get this money in his hands for the time being, but Li Xiaole can take these documents to the bank for a loan, and it can be used as effective property for business negotiations.
Coupled with the payment from "Cape No. 7" and "No Man's Land", Black Pearl Company is expected to make a profit of more than 300 million yuan in this Chinese New Year, and with 50% of the bank mortgage, more than 450 million commercial funds can be remitted to Lei Ting for negotiations with MGM.
Coupled with the $8,000 loan from the bank that mortgaged almost all of Black Pearl's assets, it is almost possible to acquire more than 50% of the equity of Lianmei with assets of $212.78 million, and the subsequent income of these three films, it should be more than enough to complete the acquisition of Purple Mountain.
This situation made Li Xiaole feel very good, and 2005 ended quietly unconsciously......
On the first Sunday of 2006, the new year and the new atmosphere, the State Administration of Film held an annual meeting of the bureau with the participation of major film companies as usual, Li Xiaole had no choice but to put down the matter of promoting "Those Years", and rushed back to Chu and Zhejiang from Hong Kong.
The venue of the annual meeting was chosen on the eighth floor of the Chufeng Building, and from the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on the eighteenth floor, it was a large billboard with the same height as the eighteen-story building.
After nightfall, the rain cloth covering the billboard has been removed, but the spotlights of the billboard have not been turned on, and the pedestrians on the street can only faintly see the clear and lovely figure of the beautiful woman in the school uniform on the billboard and the blurred row of large characters, which is different from the outdoor advertising style of "Wuji" a week ago.
The public is always numb to change, but there are also those who notice it, standing at the city's busiest intersection, standing in the middle of the traffic and looking up, trying to discern what's in the billboard.
Many people have speculated about which big-spending film company will replace China Film Company and become the new owner of this sky-high outdoor billboard. Chu Feng Building is a building outsourced by the General Administration of Film, outdoor advertising is contracted by the General Administration, has always been used as a domestic film promotion, in recent years has been monopolized by Huayi and New Picture Company to produce films, China Film Group in order to avoid suspicion, has never participated in the bidding of this billboard, only "Wuji" was released when Shi Dongming broke this convention.
Standing in the conference hall on the eighth floor of the Chufeng Building, which has been arranged like a press conference, although the annual meeting of the Film Bureau is nominally a meeting, but in fact it is similar to the form of a commendation conference, the leaders of the General Administration of China praised and summarized the outstanding Chinese films throughout the year, and encouraged the major film companies to continue to make persistent efforts.
On the side of the long corridor at the entrance, all of them are huge movie posters that have achieved outstanding results in the domestic film industry in 2005, Zhen Zhidan in the style of "Seven Swords" ink painting carries a sword on his back and holds a heroic posture, Jin Hee-sun in white clothes in "Myth" is good at dancing with long sleeves, and Jay Chou holding the steering wheel in "Initial D" is galloping.
On the huge poster closest to the door, Ha Ji Won, who was wearing a school uniform and tied with a ponytail, had a unique temperament and was printed on the snow-white walls on both sides, which made Sun Li envious.
Although Ha Ji Won is only making her first official appearance in China, her incomparably popular image has made her a top star in an instant.
Sun Li was strongly recommended by Feng Xiaogang to join Huayi Company after "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and this time she also participated in this annual meeting as a representative of the actresses of Huayi Company.
Sun Li was wearing a water-green heavy brocade evening dress skirt, wearing delicate light makeup, not taking off the bright breath of a girl, but it was also unusually clear and moving, and people who entered the venue were inevitably attracted by her before entering the door.
Sun Li looked at her watch, there was still some time before the start of the annual meeting, she left the venue and entered the dressing room, just in time to see Ha Ji Won changing into a mille-feuille silver scale patch sundress, naked with slender and snow-white collarbones, standing side by side, like a gorgeous and noble mermaid princess, beautiful and gorgeous, and praised: "You look so good in this skirt Ji Won......
"Hi~~ Long time no see~ Come and help me, the zipper behind my back seems to be stuck." Ha Zhiyuan was a little nervous, and when she looked back at Sun Li, she also smiled bitterly, this was the first time she came to China to participate in such a formal occasion, her heart was pounding, she didn't know what to do, she looked at herself in the mirror and laughed at herself and asked Sun Li:
"Wearing this kind of clothes is like walking the red carpet, you are like this at the Chinese annual meeting?"
"It's not that those old leaders are happy to watch." Sun Li also smiled helplessly: "Do you see that the boss of a film company doesn't bring a few beautiful female companions to participate, if the leader looks at it and likes it, it will be much easier to approve the movie released next year as long as there is this actress, which can be regarded as a kind of public relations strategy." ”
After the two of them got it done, as soon as they went out, they saw Li Xiaole chewing gum and coming over.
"Sun ...... I haven't seen Sun Platoon Leader for a long time~" Li Xiaole saw Sun Li and Ha Zhiyuan walking out side by side, his face stiffened for a second before he reacted, and immediately smiled: "It's good that you're here, President He's clothes are too easy to expose, so I'll trouble you to follow her today, lest she go away without paying attention......"
"I'm the representative of Huayi today......" Sun Liqingli's eyes were full of smiles: "If you don't mind me bringing your lover to those old leaders to pat on the back, of course I'm fine."
"Why are you ......" Ha Ji Won immediately turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaole suspiciously when he heard the "lover", which meant: "Didn't you say that it was confidential...... What did you tell Sun Li? ”
Seeing Li Xiaole's embarrassed face, Sun Licai smiled softly and said: "Director Li is very careful, he said that every female lead is her lover, Sister Zhiyuan, you can be wronged this time and let him take advantage of it." ”
Li Xiaole smiled at this time, but he didn't expect Sun Li to joke too, so he had time to look at Ha Jiyuan and praised: "President He, you are really fascinated tonight." He didn't stay much to interrupt, and the time was almost up, leading the two girls into the venue.
This year's domestic film development is great, and the annual meeting of the State Administration of Film invited representatives of various companies and guests from Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, France, and Hollywood to more than 200 people.
Among the top executives in the United States were people from the six major Hollywood companies, and among them was the MGM real power faction, and the group's executive general manager, Leigh Canon.
Leigh Canon has brown hair, a thick beard, a hooked nose, and a tough look in his eyes, all of which make people think that this Jew, who once surprised Wall Street, is extremely energetic.
It was only two months ago that Lee Canon first heard about Black Pearl when he received an offer from MGM's subsidiary, Luen Mei, and he had the impression that Chinese film companies, with the exception of the famous China Film Group, were refugees making art films in the countryside.
After hearing that Luen Mei was going to be acquired by China, he became interested in Li Xiaole, the young general manager and director of the Black Pearl Company, and Lee Canon, accompanied by Su Zhaodong, the English-speaking foreign minister of the Film Bureau, sat at the front of the venue.
He pointed to Li Xiaole, who was standing next to the rostrum, and asked Su Zhaodong: "That young man is Mr. Li Xiaole, the general manager of Black Pearl Company?" ”
The outdoor cold is pressing, the venue is fully heated, squeezed in nearly 300 people, the temperature is also a little stuffy, Li Xiaole deliberately put on a navy blue suit, although a little immature, but handsome and elegant, high-spirited, calm and calm, looking at Su Zhaodong accompanied MGM Lee Canon to look at this side, Li Xiaole also gestured through the head of the head. 's demeanor makes it impossible to feel that he is a young man in his early 20s.
Ha Ji Won was wearing a silver sequined evening dress skirt, applying delicate light makeup, and gently covering her chest with her hands, looking bright and unparalleled, so beautiful that her heart trembled, she was still a little nervous in her heart, quietly by Li Xiaole's side, smiling at the surroundings.
After the staff announced the start of the new year, Director Zhou of the Film Bureau said a few words of greeting in an official tone, and said with an excited smile:
"Before the start of the annual meeting, there is a small ceremony to introduce to all friends...... Please look out the window......"
