"Ten years ago, Hong Kong movies were still complacent about the box office exceeding one million, and today Hong Kong movies have entered the era of 20 million, and the father-in-law and son-in-law in the movie are the whole drama to watch you, although Anita Mui is a newcomer, but she played Susie heartily, one more is too much, one less is too little, mother-in-law, the man who fell into the pit, the robber, the first love. The performance of supporting roles such as people is also very outstanding, adding a touch of color to the plot...... "Get the Father-in-law" has strong box office data, and it is very likely to break through and become a member of the 20 million club! “

——Cheng Pao

"The movie is full of commercial atmosphere from beginning to end, without the slightest intrinsic value, vulgar jokes one after another, what does this movie want the audience to understand, and what can the audience remember when they come out of the cinema? After laughing, there is only emptiness, if such a movie is also called a boutique, it is undoubtedly a sadness, the entire film industry has entered a pathological mode, blindly pursuing a high box office, ignoring the responsibility of the film itself! ”

——Ming Pao Weekly

""Get the Father-in-law" is different from the big production and big cast of "Best Partner", the story is completed in one go, the plot is relaxed, and the rhythm is well grasped...... The film is a rare classic in comedy movies! ”

——Sing Tao Daily

Every morning, reading newspapers has become one of Ye Tian's habits, especially when he sees the film reviews related to "Get My Father-in-law", he reads and tastes them carefully, Hong Kong film critics are still very conscientious, many films Ye Tian feels classic and accepts them with an open mind, Ye Tian just smiled at the deliberate and obviously biased film reviews, and did not take them to heart.

July 5th. On the day of the release, "Walking the World on the Bridge" and Golden Harvest released "Killing Out of Xiyingpun" at the same time, the two parties attacked "Get the Father-in-law" that was being released by the Golden Princess, and the momentum was very big, and other theaters complained, and the three major theaters fought for each other, which made them lose a lot of money, and on the day of the release, "Walking the World on the Bridge" won 80,000 box office, and most of the audience asked for a refund. In the last show on the premiere day, the attendance rate of the theater was less than 20%.

Golden Harvest is not much better, and spent a lot of money to promote "Kill Out of Xiyingpan", but fans didn't buy it, the attendance rate of the first game was sixty percent, the second one was less than fifty percent, and the third one fell to forty percent, and fans ran to the Golden Princess Cinema to watch "Get the Father-in-law", and the theater manager Cai Yongchang was so angry that he stomped his feet.

The two major cinema chains are in a huge crusade. The second day immediately died down, as if there was no such thing, and Shaw broke five cups in one day, two days later. cut "Walking the World on the Bridge" and re-screened Fengyue films, a movie with high hopes only won 110,000 box office in the end, and Golden Harvest released "Killing Out of Xiyingpun". They are not like the continuous stream of films, and there are still Fengyue films to be screened, and Golden Harvest Cinemas has always used a boutique strategy. It will take a week for the latest movie to hit the screen.

On July 7th, the movie "Get My Father-in-law" was released for a week, and the box office officially broke through the 5 million mark, which made other theaters unable to raise their heads, and the media repeatedly tracked and reported, saving Ye Tian a lot of publicity costs.

On July 8th, Qiu Degen officially announced that he would take a stake in Li's TV and acquire 50% of the shares of the TV station, to Ye Tian's surprise, Qiu Degen's methods were very gentle, and he did not rename Li's 'ATV', nor did he wantonly appoint cronies, even his baby daughter Qiu Meiqi was secretly demoted by him, dismissed from the position of manager of the personnel department, and used the position of director to hold it high, depriving him of all rights.

On July 15th, "Get Father-in-law" was released for half a month, the box office reached 11 million, the movie theater was full, the box office was 1.01 million on the same day, and it officially became a member of the box office of 10 million.

On July 22, after five consecutive days of fullness, the attendance rate of the cinema declined, with a cumulative box office of 17.79 million.

Oriental Entertainment Office

Liu Maoming held his eyes and said concisely: ""Getting the Father-in-law" still has potential, if Mr. Ye has no opinion and signs this contract, we can continue to arrange the release for seven to ten days!" ”

Ye Tian took the contract handed over by Liu Maoming, and after reading it for a long time, he didn't find any traps, this is a very ordinary contract to extend the release period, and he can't help but secretly call it, could it be that Lei Juekun has changed his sex, why is this old man so generous, even the old acquaintance Mecca, will also put forward a lot of conditions.

"I'm sorry Mr. Liu, I don't understand the law very well, this contract is what Mr. Lei meant?"

Liu Maoming smiled: "Of course Mr. Lei meant." ”

Ye Tian said unexpectedly: "What are the conditions for extending the release, there will be no films released in the Golden Princess Cinema Line, right?" ”

Liu Maoming said seriously: "Mr. Ye, our Golden Princess has a very tight schedule, in order to release Mr. Ye's films, the theater chain cut two movies in a row, you can inquire about this, the other party almost sued us in court." ”

"There's really no problem with the contract, I can sign it."

Ye Tian signed the contract, some unspoken rules of the contract are useless, such as the contradiction between Golden Harvest and the satellite company, the cinema chain does not pay dividends, what can the satellite company do, to check the accounts, people will give you bills, sue the court, Golden Harvest is very wealthy, you can play tactics, take a step back, even if you win, Golden Harvest is more serious, even the company has to play, this is also the reason why movie brothers such as Hong Jinbao and Xu Guanwen swallowed their anger.

But Ye Tian doesn't care, this is the first time he and Princess Jin have cooperated, there is no old account, even if it breaks up, there is no need to worry about Princess Jin defaulting on the debt, of course, before this, it is better to make it clear, everyone is happy to cooperate, happy to disperse.

Liu Maoming breathed a sigh of relief, the sweet dates had already been given, and now was the time to talk about the conditions, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye......"

"I'll start with that!"

"Mr. Ye, please speak!"

"This contract mentions overseas distribution, dividends according to the rules of the theater, I want to know what the rules of your theater dividends are?"

Liu Maoming said unexpectedly: "Mr. Ye still wants overseas dividends? ”

Ye Tian said confidently: "As long as it is the dividend of "Get the Father-in-law", of course I want it!" ”

Liu Maoming frowned and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye may not have noticed. There is such a clause in the contract, and all the dividend rules remain the same, which means that the dividend rules of the two contracts are the same! ”

"That's true, but there was an accident on the first contract."

"What accident?" Liu Maoming has an ominous premonition, if the box office of "Get My Father-in-law" is average, he won't care about this, but now the box office of the movie is about to exceed 20 million, because of carelessness, I'm afraid Lei Juekun won't forgive him so easily, after all, it's a business of tens of millions.

Ye Tian said seriously: "Mr. Mecca and I have an agreement, I can give up overseas dividends!" ”

"Whew!"

Hear this. Liu Maoming's heart immediately put down, admiring Mecca's foresight, comedy films are very popular overseas, according to his experience, this movie with a box office of more than 20 million has sold a lot of money overseas, "Shaolin Temple" sold more than 3 billion in Japan, and "Best Partner" also earned 1 million US dollars in Europe, and the example is ahead. He is very confident in "Get Father-in-law".

Ye Tian smiled secretly and continued: "But there is a premise, where Oriental Entertainment is distributed, Princess Jin will also give up dividends. ”

Liu Maoming was surprised: "Does Oriental Entertainment have a distribution channel?" ”

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "No." But the contract must be written like this! ”

Liu Maoming looked at the company's environment, and laughed at Ye Tian in his heart for not being able to do anything, what kind of distribution ability does a shell company have, and Princess Jin and Xinyicheng spend a huge price. Barely opened up the Nanyang channel, and the overseas distribution capacity is far behind Jiahe and Jiahe, and Jiahe can sell the film to Japan and the United States. There are more than 100 theaters in the Nanyang area, and the distribution of films is a matter of course, and their golden princess can only be released with blockbuster films, and low-grossing films can only be released at buyout prices, which has invisibly lost a lot.

Ye Tian showed a shy expression, as if for self-esteem, and proposed, "I want to add this to the contract." ”

Liu Maoming thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Ye really has no distribution channel?" ”

Ye Tian laughed at himself: "I have been in Hong Kong for less than two years, how can there be a distribution channel." ”

Liu Maoming pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "I can't do this thing, after I go back, I can report it to Mr. Lei." ”

Ye Tian gestured to the contract in his hand and put on a happy look: "Since this contract adheres to the first contract, then the dividend rules are like this, the local city dividends are fifty-five, and the overseas dividends Oriental Entertainment should also enjoy half of the dividends, I am happy to do so." ”

Liu Maoming frowned, because "Get My Father-in-law" was sent through the channel of Xinyicheng, he also thought it was a film made by Xinyicheng, and the contract signed was also a unique contract of Xinyicheng, because Lei Juekun himself is the major shareholder of Xinyicheng, and the contract dividends are very generous, but Mecca signed a contract with Ye Tian on behalf of Xinyicheng, and the benefits have flowed to Oriental Entertainment, no wonder Mecca has been so low-key these days.

"Mr. Ye, this ......"

"Can't you?"

"Our Golden Princess has always been ...... for overseas distribution"

"Forget it, you better get the contract back, I don't want Mr. Lei to think I'm insatiable."

Ye Tian finally sent the contract back, complaining in his heart that Mecca didn't tell him the specific dividend ratio, he already knew that the local fifty-fifty was divided, and the overseas fifty-fifty was his blind guess, deducting the sharing of local courtyard merchants, how to say that the remaining money was thirty or forty million, fifty-five divided, Oriental Entertainment could get at least 15 million, plus the local dividend, the benefits were amazing, Lei Juekun could not let such amazing interests flow to Oriental Entertainment, if he wanted to get money, he had to gamble, as long as he occupied Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. In the end, the benefits will only be more, not less. (To be continued......)

PS: The results on the shelves are very bad, depressed, 10,000 collections, the first order is less than 400, alas! Expectations are empty, and I really want to find a place to be quiet.
