In the evening of that day, Gu Weiqi packed his luggage and hugged and said goodbye to Masadina, who had just completed the resignation procedures yesterday. The latter had to stay and take care of Donglai's branch in the United States, "Oriental Mythology International Pictures", and on behalf of Gu Weiqi, he negotiated with the 20th Century Fox Film Company about the details of the development of peripheral products of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch". He also generously left her $10 million.

Then he happily boarded the plane to Xiangjiang. As for the equipment purchased, it was flown over, but it cost 12 million US dollars, whether it is the nine cameras, ten computers, or a complete set of recording and audio and editing equipment, which are the most advanced on the market.

As for the box office share, Hans has transferred $100 million to his designated account two days ago. The reason why I only got 100 million is because the tax rate on the side of the rice country is relatively high. The total box office of 307 million US dollars, and then 65% of the profits from the distribution and theaters of Fox Films, is basically so much in his hands.

If he had left $10 million for Cindy and $12 million spent on equipment, he would have only $78 million left in his hand. As for that record and two singles, it is currently hot/selling. However, the profit share has not been obtained for the time being, because detailed accounting is required.

As for the box office share of the movie he got, it was Davis who gave it to him so quickly under repeated urging. Otherwise, if you want to get a share of the box office, I'm afraid you will have to wait for three or five months. As for the share of the videotape, because it has just been released, it is natural that I can't get it for the time being.

In addition to getting a share of the box office, Gu Weiqi also roughly finalized a contract with Davis to develop the production and distribution of the film's peripheral products in Europe and the United States. The details were discussed by Martha Dina on his behalf. You must know that this movie is so popular, and peripheral products can definitely make a lot of money.

Don't talk about anything else, but it's the comics, and if you get it right, you'll make a lot of money. However, in terms of the publication and distribution of comics, Gu Weiqi naturally has to take care of his novelty international publishing house first. Of course, in fact, these are long-term interests, which are equivalent to golden roosters that can lay eggs. As long as 20th Century Fox doesn't go out of business, it can get a large share of profits every year.

Originally, according to Davis's meaning, it was proposed that he continue to shoot the second part of the Grandmaster of National Arts. But Gu Weiqi did not agree to him. According to him, the master of national arts can make one film a year, and the audience will definitely get tired of filming too much. When the time comes, it will definitely lower the box office, which is tantamount to killing the chicken and taking the eggs, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Davis had no choice but to give up, but repeatedly told him that in the future, Fox Film Company would have the right of first refusal to release the films shot by Oriental Hollywood International Film Production Company. Gu Weiqi repeatedly assured that there was no problem, after all, his company's foundation is still weak, and he can only rely on the other party at present.

In fact, with Gu Weiqi's current comprehensive financial resources, it is enough to buy 20th Century Fox. But there is no need now, after all, the current Oriental Hollywood International Film Company is still relatively weak. The main reason is that the talent pool is seriously insufficient, even if there is no good film released after buying, it can only lose money every day.

Another point is that he clearly remembers that there were three opportunities to make a lot of money in 82. The first is the collapse of real estate, which in turn caused the stock market to plummet; The second is the "Battle of the Falklands" between Britain and Argentina; Finally, there is the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar. As long as these three opportunities to make money are grasped well, his assets can at least double at that time, but he can't do it without cash capital in his hands. So although he is now sharing the box office for nothing, although it hurts, he can only endure it.

After getting the money, Gu Weiqi went over to find Xiandi and Pei Yuying again, and by the way, he also went to the toy factory to see Yuan Feng and them. Then let Masadina accompany him to buy a lot of gifts, and did not leave Hollywood until this evening.

When he got on the plane, he was still full of emotion. It has been less than a year since he came to Xiangjiang, and he has not only become a billionaire worth nearly 10 billion, but also the films he has shot have also sold well in Europe and the United States, which is something that he could not even think of in his previous life. Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream. However, when he stepped on the plane back to Xiangjiang, "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" continued to be popular in Asia.

In Tokyo, a large movie theater owned by Kadokawa Pictures, the audience let out incredible exclamations as if they had been beaten with blood. It wasn't until the end of the ending song of "Dream Chaser" that people reluctantly stood up and left the cinema.

"Bloody fighting, incredible Chinese kung fu, this movie is so exciting!"

"Oshima-san, I'm going to Hong Kong to find Gu Jun to learn Chinese kung fu, do you want to go with me?"

"I want to go to Xiangjiang too, but I have to go back and ask my mother."

"Okay Oshima-san, I'll wait for your news!"

……

Gu Weiqi would never have imagined that because of a movie, a wave of learning Chinese kung fu would be set off all over the world. Similar situations can be seen in South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and other places. Many young people began to embark on the journey of Xiangjiang with kung fu dreams.

It should be said that Xiangjiang has opened many martial arts halls. Especially in the past few years, with the popularity of Li Xiaolong's movies, there has been a trend of learning kung fu. But with the sudden death of the dragon, the trend gradually waned. This has also indirectly or directly affected the livelihood of many Xiangjiang martial arts halls. Even many museum owners had no choice but to close their doors and change careers. The rest are also struggling to survive, and life is very difficult.

However, with the popular release of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch", especially with many young people coming to Xiangjiang to learn kung fu, it has stimulated the income of various martial arts halls. Many martial arts halls that had been closed reopened their doors and hung up signs.

When Gu Weiqi got off the plane with his baggage, as soon as he walked out of the passage, he saw that the Oriental Hollywood International Film Crew led by Fang Lingwei, Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying had already been waiting on the side. Behind them, there were nearly twenty streamlined Tang Dynasty sedans parked, which looked extremely stylish.

It turned out that when he came back, he called Fang Lingwei in advance. When the latter knew that he was back, he immediately organized all the employees of the film company to come and greet him. As for those cars, they were all specially made by Locanan for the company from the German Tang Dynasty Automobile Company.

Because the cars used in the sedan in the play "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starting from Scratch" are all produced by the German Tang Dynasty Automobile Company, and now this drama is on fire in various regions of Europe and the United States, which has greatly stimulated the sales of the car. In addition, there are more and more employees of "Donglai Company", Fang Lingwei mentioned it to Luo Jianan, and ordered dozens of cars at once.

Two shadowy birds in the crowd rushed over, hugged his arm left and right, and said excitedly: "Brother Qi (Archie), I miss you so much!" ”

Gu Weiqi couldn't help but smile when he saw that it was Li Saifeng and Guan Zhilin. It was 10 a.m., but it was already June, and it was still very hot. Both girls wore thin short-sleeved dresses with light makeup, which made them look even more feminine and delicate.

"I miss you too." Gu Weiqi threw the bag to Chen Xunqi who came over, held the little hands of the two girls and said with a smile.

Fortunately, because Chen Xunqi and his entourage came to pick up Gu Weiqi's secrecy and did a good job, it did not alarm the media. However, some staff at the airport who were greedy for reporting fees called major newspapers and broke the news that Gu Weiqi had returned from the United States!

However, when reporters from major newspapers arrived, Gu Weiqi and his entourage had already returned to Oriental Hollywood International Film Company in a hurry. It's just that when he got out of the car, he found that the door was already crowded with reporters. It turned out that in order to interview Gu Weiqi for the first time, many newspapers sent reporters to block him all the way to the airport, and waited for the rabbit in the company all the way.

These uncrowned kings all held "long spears and short cannons" and asked him all kinds of questions. For a while, there was a lot of noise and shouting.

"Gu Shao, it is rumored that 'Guoshu' has won $307 million at the box office in Europe and the United States, is this news true?"

"Gu Shao, what do you think about the movies produced by Donglai Company selling well in Europe and the United States?"

"Gu Shao, it is said that several female artists in Donglai Company now have a minimum salary of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, what do you think of this matter?"

"Gu Shao, many people think that the golden age of Xiangjiang movies has really come, what do you think?"

“……”

Gu Weiqi looked around at these uncrowned kings with tears and laughter, and suddenly raised his voice and said in a deep voice: "I said that all journalists and friends in the media should stop arguing, okay?" How can I answer your questions when you're making such a fuss? ”

This shout shook the eardrums of the reporters present, and they immediately fell silent.

"I would like to briefly answer the questions raised by friends in the media above."

Gu Weiqi groaned slightly, and said slowly: "'Guoshu' has indeed sold a high box office of 307 million US dollars in Europe and the United States. Of course, I am very happy that our film has been able to sell well in Europe and the United States. In addition, on the issue of artists' remuneration, we at Oriental Hollywood International Film Company will take the international route in the future......"

Therefore, the remuneration of actors should naturally be in line with international standards, and they will definitely gradually keep up with the remuneration of actors in Europe and the United States in the future. Therefore, it is normal for the salary to rise sharply, so you don't have to make a fuss. Okay, friends from the media, I'm coming back from the United States, and the people are a little tired, so let's disperse. If there is any problem, let's talk about it when I have enough energy. ”

A group of reporters got the news they wanted, and then they left.

"Sister Weiwei, please go to the flagship store of Yushanfang immediately, tell the person in charge over there, get a few tables of wine banquets, and everyone celebrates. The kind with the highest specs. ”

"Okay." Fang Lingwei nodded, and went to the Jade Kitchen International Restaurant to arrange a banquet.

"Brother Wei, Brother Zhen Viagra, you all go to the Jade Kitchen first. By the way, Brother Qi informed everyone who participated in the filming and production of 'National Art Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch' to participate in the celebration banquet. ”

He glanced around at everyone, and then said: "At the banquet, I will give out dividends, and as for those who sign up with other companies, I can only blame him for his bad luck." And the new drama crew that you are filming at this time, let them all come. ”

"Okay Archie, I'll be sure to let you know." Chen Xunqi said excitedly.
