After giving the manuscript to Tina Fett, Lei Juewen returned to Hong Kong Island on the same day, and he only needed to wait for a while to know the data for the specific sales of this novel, and he did not need to deal with it personally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was already early in the morning when he returned to Hong Kong Island, and Lei Juewen slept in the plane that night.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, Lei Juewen contacted Zeng Zhiwei, and after making sure that there was no problem on his side, he asked him to continue filming, and he still had something to deal with on Hong Kong Island, and it would take two days to be able to pass.
first sent the things back to the villa, and Lei Juewen went to the company.
When he came to the chairman's office, Lei Juewen called Forestry, Li Chaosheng, and Wan Bin over.
"Manager Li, report to me about the situation of the film Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants."
Li Chaosheng was prepared, he didn't even read the draft he brought, and said directly: "The Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Bosses have been officially released the day before yesterday, the film has been released for a total of 17 days, the total box office is 7.46 million Hong Kong dollars, the film company is divided into half is 3.78 million Hong Kong dollars, the cost of the film is 470,000 Hong Kong dollars, the publicity cost is 110,000 Hong Kong dollars, the film cost is 75,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the converted profit is about 3.13 million Hong Kong dollars, but the crew still has some of the remuneration not yet paid. Therefore, the box office profit will be around HK$3 million. ”
Lei Juewen nodded when he heard this, he was satisfied with the final box office of the film Fighting a Thousand Kings, about two million Hong Kong dollars more than the original version, on the one hand, he kept improving, the relationship with higher costs, on the other hand, there must also be a relationship of vigorous publicity, and the publicity fee of 110,000 Hong Kong dollars after the discount of several companies is not in vain.
"Manager Wan, where is the theater?"
Wan Bin replied: "After the cinema chain gave the film company half of the share, there was also a box office of 3.78 million Hong Kong dollars left, but the cinema chain had no other short-term expenses except for long-term expenses such as electricity bills and employee salaries, so it can be said that it was all income." When the film was screened, according to the boss's plan, snacks and other snacks were also sold, with a total net profit of 380,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was completely enough for other expenses. ”
"Good!"
Lei Juewen is very satisfied with the fact that snacks can sell 380,000 Hong Kong dollars, with this income, if the films released in the theater can be prosperous, there will be more people watching the movie, and there will naturally be more people buying snacks.
The film Thousands of Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants, after deducting the cost, Lei Juewen earned a profit of more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office alone, which is only the box office income of Hong Kong Island, not to mention the peripheral income such as videotapes, not to mention the profits of Taiwan Island, Southeast Asia and other places.
Forestry was also very relieved after the film Thousands of Kings and Thousands of Tyrants made a profit. For a long time, he was a little worried about the failure of the film, and then because of the too big relationship of the stall, other industries were damaged, but now don't worry, the film is a big hit, and other related industries will only follow and there will be no problems. Although the success of the first film does not say anything, at least it is a good sign.
Lei Juewen said: "Since the film Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants was released the day before yesterday, then the film released in theaters yesterday was "Funny Times", right? ”
Wan Bin replied: "The funny era premiered at seven o'clock the night before yesterday, and the premiere results were very ideal, and yesterday's box office was even higher than the first day of the film Qianwang Dou Qianba, and the future box office of this film may be higher than the total box office of the film Qianwang Dou Qianba." ”
In Lei Juewen's opinion, the funny era is a more exciting film than the thousand kings fighting the thousand tyrants, he had expected this in his heart, but he was still very happy after hearing it, and asked: "Tell me, as of yesterday, what is the box office of the funny era?" ”
Wan Bin said: "The box office on the night of the premiere of the funny era was 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, and when it was released on the first day, the box office was 625,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was the same time as the release of the Thousand Kings and Thousands of Tyrants, but the box office was 150,000 Hong Kong dollars more. ”
Lei Juewen nodded when he heard this: "Very good, it seems that this film in the funny era is about to be a big hit again." ”
Saying that, Lei Juewen said to Forestry: "Lin Bo, remember to communicate well with newspapers, TV stations, and Xinyi City, promote this film well, and pursue it with victory." ”
"Okay, young master!" Forestry nodded in response.
Lei Juewen asked Wan Bin: "What films are Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers releasing now?" ”
Wan Bin replied: "Shaw Brothers is releasing a martial arts film, no one is watching it, the current box office is barely over one million, as for when it will be released, it's hard to say." However, Golden Harvest advertised in the Oriental Daily, saying that a martial arts film led and starring Hong Jinbao would be released the day after tomorrow, called "Fist Roaring Jianghu", depending on the situation, it is going to the funny era. ”
"Fist roaring?"
Lei Juewen thought about it seriously when he heard this, but no matter what he thought, he just couldn't think of this film. In this case, either this film is not famous at all, or this film has never appeared in his previous life, so he didn't think about it anymore after he couldn't think of it.
"Golden Harvest wants to block the funny era, let's just let them block it, anyway, no matter how they block the funny era, we are making money, let it go."
Let Li Chaosheng and Wan Bin go out, and Lei Juewen left the forestry behind.
"Lin Bo, contact Shen Daban and negotiate with him, I want to sell the remaining 5% of the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial, and after negotiating the price with him, contact me to sign."
"Okay!" Forestry nodded in response.
Lei Juewen said: "Lin Bo, there is something you need to do in person, I want you to go to Southeast Asia and personally set up a theater line in Southeast Asia." ”
Forestry said: "Young master, to set up a cinema line in Southeast Asia, you can't do it without a lot of money." ”
Lei Juewen naturally knew this, nodded and said: "I still have more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars left here, and after selling the shares to Shen Daban, I should still be able to have about 30 million Hong Kong dollars, so there will be 130 million Hong Kong dollars." Although this money can't pull up a theater chain in Southeast Asia, we can still build some new ones ourselves, and then look for some theaters to join. ”
Forestry nodded when he heard this, 130 million Hong Kong dollars, it should be no problem to set up a cinema chain in several major countries in Southeast Asia.
Lei Juewen thought for a while and said: "If it's really not enough, then you can find an HSBC loan of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, the current profits of each company can still be repaid in a few months." ”
Lei Juewen is still confident in the profitability of the film company, he can make at least more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in this film, I am afraid that the funny era is about the same, and the happy ghost has this number if it is not unexpected, if the best partner is successful, the income will only be more, and the loan of 50 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to him, and it can be repaid in a few months.
