Half a month later, the outside media's affair with Chen Shaoyi and Deng Lijun has begun to gradually calm down, although some media continue to report on the matter, but the mainstream media in Hong Kong are no longer talking about it. has been hyped for half a month, and everything that should be fried has been fried, and the parties are silent, and they can't slap a slap, and they don't bother to do this kind of behavior of continuing to fry cold rice.

There are so many things happening every day in Hong Kong and the world, and it's not that there are no news reports, so why hang yourself from this tree. For this reason, the reporters outside the villa in the middle of the mountain also evacuated after squatting for so long and not being able to keep any news at all.

At present, there is not yet the kind of situation where reporters are flying all over the sky and there can be paparazzi who are responsible for staring at a certain celebrity all day long, and there are still some reporters in media newspapers and magazines who are short of manpower, and there is no possibility of wasting human resources.

After being disturbed for nearly half a month, Chen Shaoyi was relieved, life finally returned to calm, and Mi Xue dared to come over to meet him, which made Chen Shaoyi happy for a while.

However, there is a greater joy, that is, Chen Shaoyi finally got the huge dividend of "Modern Bodyguard", and finally experienced a sleep until he woke up naturally, counting the money until his hands cramped.

"Modern Bodyguard" was released in Hong Kong for four weeks, starting on Monday, July 7 and ending on Sunday, August 3, a total of 28 days, which is a few days less than the more than a month in the previous life.

There are several reasons for this, one is that the 80-year film schedule will not be very long, basically no more than a month, and there are more films that occupy one or two weeks; Secondly, in order to avoid the limelight of "Modern Bodyguard" a while ago, many films have postponed the release date, resulting in a serious backlog of cinema films. Golden Harvest Cinema Line did not dare to be angry, otherwise everyone would have to run to Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin in the future, and many of the films are still the works of Golden Harvest's own company, so even if "Modern Bodyguard" still has some profit margins, Golden Harvest has to reluctantly draw it. It is foreseeable that in the summer of August, the competition at the box office will be very fierce.

However, although the overall release time of "Modern Bodyguard" is a little less than that of the previous life, the box office received is much higher than that of the previous life.

There are several reasons, one is that the summer schedule is better; the second is the concession of other films, "Modern Bodyguard" has a relatively large number of films per day, resulting in the dominance of "Modern Bodyguard", which is relatively already in a monopoly position; The third is Chen Shaoyi's reputation. In the later stage, the scandal between Chen Shaoyi and Teresa Teng will be added, which is also one of the reasons why the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" remains high. However, in the later stage, Golden Harvest has begun to cut the number of films per schedule of "Modern Bodyguard", so although the attendance rate in the later stage is not bad, the overall income is much lower than in the early stage.

In any case, the final box office of "Modern Bodyguard" in Hong Kong broke through the 20 million mark, reaching more than 21 million Hong Kong dollars, more than double the box office of Chen Long's "Senior Brother Goes Out" in February.

The box office of more than 20 million is really blind to the titanium alloy eyes of many people, and they all shout "wolf is coming". In the 80s, more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars were worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars if they were converted into soft sister coins in later generations after inflation, and this is just the box office in Hong Kong, so you can imagine what people's attitude towards this crazy box office will be at this time.

The specific figure of the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" is 21.36 million Hong Kong dollars, so how much can Chen Shaoyi get?

At present, the box office share of Hong Kong is generally 46 percent, that is, 40% for producers and 60% for theaters, and because Hui's Brothers is a satellite company of Golden Harvest, the share is slightly higher than that of ordinary producers, and it can be divided into 4.5%. The copyright of this "Modern Bodyguard" was given to the Xu Brothers Company, and Chen Shaoyi of course pressed "Modern Bodyguard" on the head of the Xu Brothers Company, so the box office share was at least 4.5%.

Originally, this share was not bad, but Xu Guanwen didn't want to, and the Xu brothers only had a 30% profit share in this film. Therefore, Xu Guanwen is powerful enough, after a period of soft grinding and hard grinding, he finally let Jiahe promise to give them a share of 4.80%, although it only increased by 0.30%, but when the number is huge to more than 20 million, it is very terrible, and no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat. Moreover, the box office share of 4.8% has never appeared in Hong Kong, and there is no such precedent even during the Li Xiaolong period, which also reflects how influential the Hui brothers are in the film industry at present.

Without further ado, there are still more than 10 million out of 4.8 percent of more than 21 million, and the overall investment in this "Modern Bodyguard" is 5 million, which means that it has doubled. Chen Shaoyi also got 7 million, but because he still had to pay taxes, he only got more than 6 million in the end.

After this battle, Chen Shaoyi probably made a net profit of about three million Hong Kong dollars, and this money has already been obtained.

But don't worry, this is only the box office share of Hong Kong, and "Modern Bodyguard" will be sold to other cities later, and if "Modern Bodyguard" is released in other cities, Chen Shaoyi can get a very large dividend.

Before the 70s, the Hong Kong film industry was the world of the Shaw Brothers, and after the successive development of the Shaw Brothers, Hong Kong films were very famous in East and Southeast Asian countries. After entering the 70s, Hong Kong has a Golden Harvest, due to the fierce competition between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, both sides are doing their best, hoping to take each other down in one fell swoop, the quality of the film at this time is very good, especially during the Li Xiaolong period.

Therefore, after the 70s, Hong Kong films have a very strong dominance in East Asia and Southeast Asia (except for the mainland and the book, one is closed inside, and the other is contestable), and other places are simply the backyard and dumping ground of Hong Kong films.

Therefore, it is very easy for Hong Kong films to enter the film markets of various countries and regions, and the box office is also blossoming - rising steadily. This is also one of the important reasons for the prosperity of Hong Kong films, and it is also the second film production place in the world after Hollywood.

If the United States is the benchmark of world entertainment, then the Hong Kong film market is the barometer of East Asia and Southeast Asia. Generally speaking, the overall box office of a Hong Kong film outside the city is two to three times that of the domestic box office.

According to this standard, then the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" in other cities can still get about 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, in other cities, it is impossible for "Modern Bodyguard" to have a 4.8% sharing ratio. The division of each region is not the same, some areas are calculated according to time, such as how much is divided in the first week, how much is divided in the second week, some areas are divided according to the attendance rate, and some areas must also give some commissions to the middlemen, which is very complicated to calculate; Therefore, on average, there is only about 30% of the share, so Chen Shaoyi estimates that he can get at least more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in other cities.

Speaking of which, I have to say that there are two places that are the blackest, one is the mainland and the other is the United States. When the mainland introduced foreign films, it dared to offer a box office share of 10% (mainly because the import quota for foreign films was very limited), which was outrageously black; In the United States, it is reluctant to give a share of the box office of foreign films, and it is generally bought out directly, if the film is excellent, the producer will lose more, but if the film is not good, who will buy it. However, the situation is not absolute, but the blackness in these two places is notoriously.
