Liu Hua's "Magic Jade" is being released, and when it plays against "Dao Ma Dan", Xiao Ranke is so busy that he almost collapses. He has to shoot during the day and start preparing for the new company at night. Sometimes I have to go to some celebrity parties or something, and of course, most of the ones that can be pushed are pushed off. It's just that there is not much meaning to realize the existence of Xiao Ran, and half of them are his friends in the circle.

Scorched! If you have to describe how much it is burnt, Xiao Ran thinks it is comparable to chicken wings. These days, the mantra he often hangs on his lips is: "It's really damn, think of me hundreds of thousands of times a second......"

Feng Mianheng, one of the creators of this extremely funny dialogue in "Shaolin Football", and Tian Qiwen, the interpreter, have not yet become famous. The former hasn't even entered the industry yet, and the latter is just running around at the moment. Therefore, Xiao Ran doesn't have to worry about being pointed at his nose and scolded for plagiarism.

These days, Xiao Ran often has a very excessive idea about Fang Ruohai in private, he imagines that in a Hong Kong ghost movie, an old woman on the side of the road slaps a piece of human-shaped yellow paper with a cloth shoe, and he curses Fang Ruohai, the guy who threw everything to him, "Hit you on the head, beat you on the ...... villain"

It's a pity that Xiao Ran finally didn't implement this extremely vicious idea, because ...... He didn't have time. For example, now, he is going to see Lei Kaitai and talk about the problem of the theater.

At present, there are five major cinema chains in Hong Kong, with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest and New Arts City each controlling one. It's just that the Golden Princess Cinema in New Art City is actually controlled by Lei Kaitai, and the Golden Princess was originally just an inconspicuous literary and artistic cinema.

As a result, after being acquired by Lei Kaitai, a large number of other reading cinemas were merged, coupled with the movies of New Arts City, and suddenly became the most powerful cinema chain in Hong Kong. Golden Princess has 43 cinemas, the number of which is the first of the five major cinema chains, and it can be said that it penetrates into every golden downtown area in Hong Kong.

In 1984, in order to snipe the popular Xinyicheng, the two even joined forces with their cinemas to suppress the surname, but they were still defeated by Xinyicheng, making Xinyicheng the annual box office champion again. In this confrontation, the role played by the Golden Princess Cinema Line definitely played a key role.

The other two theaters are Yonggao and Xinbao, Xinbao's situation is not very clear, but Yonggao knows some. He knew that Yonggao had later established a film company to make movies, but he didn't remember which films they were.

According to Xiao Ran's idea, distribution, production, production, etc., should all be a one-stop business model. It's like Hollywood, they allow outside money, but it's hard to allow foreign studios to produce their own productions.

Separating production and distribution is never a good idea, and the current Hong Kong film company system is absolutely unreasonable. If Xiao Ran has enough strength and funds, he will take over the production, production and distribution in his hands, and control at least one theater chain locally. Overseas, it is necessary to establish a good distribution network, as well as a corresponding variety of products, to achieve the best way to make money.

In a simple way, it is actually very simple. Such a film conglomerate must have a regulated production department similar to that of Hollywood, which can avoid investment mistakes. Once the production department approves a script, it begins to find the right director, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff for the script, and prepare the budget.

When it's all ready, it's time to hand it over to the production company to shoot. When the shoot is done, it's handed over to another department responsible for dubbing and special effects, which is a very important post-production process. When the final editing of the film was completed, the copy was handed over to the department in charge of the theater chain to arrange the release time.

At the same time, the department in charge of overseas distribution can arrange the sales port, and the department in charge of the production of film-related products will be in charge of the same time. Of course, a month after the film was completed, the department in charge of audiovisual distribution began to produce the videotape, which was distributed worldwide through a vast and well-established distribution network.

This is the structure that Xiao Ran wants, which is why a big-budget Hollywood film can make thousands or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Because they are trying to develop the value of this film as much as possible, and the Hong Kong film company does not have it at all, and even lacks a similar structure, and the only one that has a slight prototype is Golden Harvest.

In Xiao Ran's concept, once it develops into such a large group, it can spin off and list various departments. After collecting the money of shareholders, we can further develop, and even spin off and go public again!

However, at present, everything is still just a mirror, just some beautiful ideas that make Xiao Ran sigh and sigh. In fact, he is not a Harvard graduate, and he is really not good at management. It's just that after coming here and establishing an almost delusional ideal, he knew he had to learn something.

So, after he took the time to read some books about business, it was not difficult to come up with such a structure in connection with his own knowledge of the future. When he saw Lei Kaitai, a rather legendary figure, he encouraged himself fiercely: "Twenty years later, you are all a legend!" ”

Lei Kaitai's legend is not in his history, but in his investment in films. To be honest, if it weren't for Lei Kaitai's investment in Xinyicheng, it would be a problem for Xiao Ran to know whether this person or not. It can be seen that this person always has to leave something for everyone in his life.

Before he saw Lei Kaitai, Xiao Ran thought that this would be a very Shandong Han person, after all, the fame played there. It's a pity that the truth is often far from imagination, Lei Kaitai not only does not have "five zhang long and five zhang wide", but he is much shorter than Xiao Ran. The only thing that goes with the name is the loud voice, and it must be because of this that it got this very bold name.

In Lei Kaitai's office, the owner asked the beautiful female secretary to bring coffee. Xiao Ran gently stirred the coffee, and said his intention on the leather chair with a slight smile. Lei Kaitai was very surprised at the moment, after all, there was no need to talk to him directly about such a thing, just talk to the person in charge of the theater.

Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, and some of the following words were not easy to say. After thinking about it, I still had to bite the bullet and say, "That's the case, Mr. Lei, I've thought about it carefully." Now that you have invested in New Arts City and a film studio, a cinema like Golden Princess may not be able to withstand the films of three large production companies. ”

Lei Kaitai nodded, he understood what Xiao Ran meant. Xiao Ran's meaning is very simple, since Xinyicheng and the film studio are his descendants of Lei Kaitai, then for example, the prime schedule or something is naturally reserved for the descendants, and there is no share of Xiao Ran.

This is the reason why Xiao Ran directly found Lei Kaitai, the person in charge of the theater line is the same grade as Huang Baiming and Xu Ke, if Xiao Ran persuades the person in charge of the theater to give up the prime time, Xu Ke and Huang Baiming will definitely not do it. Therefore, the only one who can settle is Lei Kaitai.

Lei Kaitai closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and smiled: "I'm curious, how can you convince me to give up the prime time?" ”

Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and laughed, he was afraid that Lei Kaitai would refuse directly, and now he had hope. Smiling very confidently, he gave an example: "Mr. Lei, my company's film is released in your theater, and you are clear about the profit sharing." Compared with a film with a box office of 10 million in Xinyicheng and a film with a box office of 30 million from my company, how do you think you can choose to make more money? ”

The answer is yes. The share of cinemas and production companies is roughly divided into two categories, the first is to add a certain share in addition to the fixed rent, that is, to fix how much share each gets. The second type is generally the first week of the film's release, where the production company takes 70 percent of the total box office for the week, the second takes 60 percent, and so on.

According to such a proportional calculation, even fools know how to choose. Lei Kaitai frowned and then let go, laughing: "Do you think you can beat Huang Baiming and them at the box office?" I think it's hard! ”

"It's really hard!" Xiao Ran admitted it calmly, and the solemnity on his expression almost made people think that he was a peerless honest person: "However, I didn't plan to squeeze out the new art city and the film studio, and I don't think I have the ability to squeeze it out." So, all I want is two opportunities, one for the summer vacation and one for the Spring Festival! ”

The summer vacation schedule is still there, and the Spring Festival stalls are really amazing and very sought-after at that time. Huang Baiming, who thinks that Xinyi City is still the boss, insisted on it for several years to get a Spring Festival file, and as a result, the box office of "Eight Star Annunciation" was red. To put it simply, as long as it can be on the Golden Spring Festival, it is common for a film to have a box office of more than 20 million.

In fact, the traditional Spring Festival stalls in Hong Kong are not as extensive as those later referred to in the mainland, and at that time, the so-called Spring Festival stalls basically referred to the period of about a month after the Spring Festival. Later, the mainland simply called the period shortly after the New Year's Day and nearly a month after the Spring Festival as the Spring Festival stalls.

Xiao Ran didn't want the Spring Festival file he was currently referring to, but the schedule of the month before the Spring Festival, because he knew that he couldn't compete for the New Art City and the film studio. According to the experience of future Chinese New Year films, it is a very good release period from the beginning of the Christmas schedule to the Spring Festival.

"It's difficult, you all know that these two schedules are basically held by Huang Baiming and Xu Ke!" Lei Kaitai said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you want to grab food now, then I'm afraid the tiger won't agree to you!" ”

After continuing to stalemate for a while, and after winning enough capital, Xiao Ran finally came up with his true intentions: "It's better to be like this, Mr. Lei, since you can't get the Spring Festival file, you have to retreat to the next best thing, how about giving me a month of summer vacation?" Coupled with the schedule from December 15 to the Spring Festival, I don't think they will have an opinion. ”

"That's ......" Lei Kaitai obviously didn't see Xiao Ran's "wolf ambition", and pondered for a moment, making sure that this would indeed not cause Xu Ke and others to object, so he nodded and agreed with a smile: "No problem." ”

"But in this way, the schedule I got is terrible, you know that!" Xiao Ran smiled very sweetly, but there was something behind this sweetness that was not known: "So, I hope to get some discounts in terms of sharing, and I also want to propose a new sharing plan!" ”

When Xiao Ran proposed the second sharing plan, Lei Kaitai agreed. He can do today's family business, and it is impossible not to see that Xiao Ran's proposal is absolutely beneficial to both parties.

Of course, for Xiao Ran, he really took advantage. He could get 75 percent profit in the first week, 65 percent in the second week, and so on. Xiao Ran got it right, the longer this film is played, the more beneficial it will be to Lei Kaitai.

He is afraid that the film will be released for less than a month, in that case, no matter how strong the film is, it will not be able to get too much box office. With this trick, he can be sure that the next year's top 10 box office charts will definitely be on the top 10 box office charts for films made by his new company.
