After Xu Guanwen sat back, Chen Shaoyi still had some regrets on Xu Guanwen's face.

But Xu Guanwen is also a character, since he knows that his Xu Brothers company has no chance with "Modern Bodyguard", he no longer insists on it, he can afford to put it down, and said with a smile: "Shaoyi, although our Xu Brothers Company has nothing to do with "Modern Bodyguard", but I don't want to really miss the drama "Modern Bodyguard", I played the role of Zhou Shichang, as for the younger brothers in my family, I will go back to help you ask, if there is nothing wrong, I should also join you in this "Modern Bodyguard". But the ugly words are in front of you, our brothers are worth a lot, I myself am very interested in "Modern Bodyguard", Uncle Hua is also present today, I can give you a friendship price, but my brothers will not reduce their value, so you had better be prepared. ”

"You Awen, it's really good, you are willing to give the old man my face, and I can lower my own value, and the old man will thank you for Shaoyi first." Hearing that Xu Guanwen was willing to lower his price, Cao Dahua was obviously in a very good mood, which could save Chen Shaoyi at least one or two hundred thousand, which was not a small amount.

Chen Shaoyi is also in a good mood, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and people are willing to give face and lower their prices to join "Modern Bodyguard", Chen Shaoyi can naturally feel Xu Guanwen's kindness.

"Brother Wen, you can lower your own value, little brother, I feel very grateful, but I am ready to invest five million in this "Modern Bodyguard", so the funds are still very sufficient, and there will be no shortage of Brother Wen's salary, so Brother Wen's kind little brother understands it."

"Five million?" Cao Dahua and Xu Guanwen were both frightened by Chen Shaoyi's investment quota.

What is the concept of investing 5 million in a film, and now the box office record in Hong Kong is "The Younger Brother Goes Out" starring Chen Long, who has just been painted, which has just exceeded 10 million and has risen a small head, and the box office share between the general film investor and the theater is only about 40%, in other words, if you look at the current box office record, the box office share of this "Modern Bodyguard" in Hong Kong will definitely not be able to get back the investment cost of 5 million, which means that Chen Shaoyi is very likely to lose money.

"Shaoyi, you ......" Cao Dahua was anxious to admonish Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi showed a reassuring smile at Cao Dahua, "Uncle Hua, I know very well what you want to say, but I am confident in "Modern Bodyguard" and Brother Wen's performance, this is definitely a movie that can break the box office record in Hong Kong." ”

"You...... Ay...... People are old, and they are not as bold as you young people. Forget it, anyway, the movie will really lose money by then, with your kid's ability to write scripts, it's a big deal to write a few more and earn it back, Uncle Hua won't say anything about you anymore, in short, it's always good for young people to have their own ideas, and they always have to go through their own ups and downs, these are things we can't help you, you can do it yourself. Cao Dahua patted Chen Shaoyi's shoulder and said sincerely.

"Thank you, Uncle Hua, I know what to do." Chen Shaoyi was really moved, Cao Dahua and himself were not related, but they just met through Mi Xue, and they were so good to themselves, Chen Shaoyi really felt that he couldn't repay him.

"Shaoyi, you really think about it, five million is not a small amount." Xu Guanwen asked Chen Shaoyi again uneasily.

"Brother Wen, don't worry, I said that five million is five million, and I am confident that the five million will recover the cost at the box office in Hong Kong, and the other cities will be pure profits."

"Hehe, your ambition is really not small, the box office in Hong Kong wants to recover the cost, and the box office will be at least more than 12.5 million, you are really confident to reach this height."

"I don't dare to say anything else, my goal is at least 15 million Hong Kong box office."

Xu Guanwen thought for a moment, "It's a bit difficult. ”

"Hehe, it's really difficult to calculate according to the current fare, but with such a high investment cost of five million as a gimmick, it is possible to raise the fare. Besides, Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, the income of citizens is getting higher and higher, and the cinema chain has not raised ticket prices for a long time, so I think Golden Harvest should be happy to do so. Chen Shaoyi said confidently.

Xu Guanwen looked at Chen Shaoyi with his mouth wide open, as the boss of Golden Harvest Satellite Company, Xu Guanwen must have a good idea of Golden Harvest's desire to increase the box office price. Now that the value of actors is getting higher and higher, the cost of making a film has naturally increased a lot, the box office of the movie is there, and it is impossible for the theater chain to give film investors a higher share ratio, and the profitability of film investors has been greatly reduced, and the contradiction between the two has become more and more obvious.

Hong Kong is not as small as the United States, the population base is too small, there are only a few million people before and after, even if everyone goes to the theater to watch a movie, it can't solve the problem, and it is impossible for all Hong Kong citizens to go to the theater to watch a movie; Therefore, the next step is to raise ticket prices, otherwise there will be a large number of film and television companies going out of business, and the impact on the Hong Kong film industry will be absolutely unprecedented.

It's just that the current cinema chain lacks an opportunity, if the cinema chain raises the price casually, the Hong Kong people will definitely not be happy, and will definitely boycott, and the loss of the cinema chain will definitely be very large, which is also the reason why several large cinema chains in Hong Kong such as Golden Harvest dare not raise prices at will, which is the life and death of their own cinemas, and they must not be sloppy at will.

Xu Guanwen was shocked because he couldn't imagine that Chen Shaoyi could see all these aspects clearly and clearly, and he had taken everything into account, and his vision was really sharp, you must know that Chen Shaoyi is not an old man who has been in the film industry for many years, nor is he a representative of the department, he is just a newcomer who has just come out of the entertainment industry, and he can clearly understand these twists and turns, which shows Chen Shaoyi's strength.

Xu Guanwen really believes it this time, this "Modern Bodyguard" is really likely to get such a high box office, no wonder Chen Shaoyi swears, it turns out that he has thought about it so comprehensively, no wonder people dare to invest five million in "Modern Bodyguard", this is the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother Wen, Brother Chen Long has just painted "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", have you seen it?" Chen Shaoyi asked immediately.

"Hmm."

"Brother Wen, the box office of "Senior Brother Out" has just broken 10 million, do you think "Modern Bodyguard" will be worse than it? Besides, the ticket price will be raised at that time, and I believe that there will be absolutely no problem in recovering the cost of 5 million at the box office in Hong Kong. ”

"Shaoyi, you're right, I think this "Modern Bodyguard" can really reach such a high box office, I am sure that the number of moviegoers in Hong Kong by the time this drama is not lower than "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and due to the increase in ticket prices, the box office will exceed 10 million by then, surpassing "Senior Brother and Brother", and even reaching 15 million." Xu Guanwen said affirmatively.

In the current Hong Kong film industry, Chen Long and the Xu brothers can be regarded as a pair of enemies, of course, they are not the kind of enemies of life and death.

In recent years, Hong Kong's box office records have been broken by both of them, either I broke your record, or you broke my record, and both sides are considered to be under Golden Harvest, and their value is about the same, and there is media hype, and there is often a difference between the two sides in some aspects.

For example, Chen Shaoyi deliberately mentioned that Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" broke the 10 million box office level, Xu Guanwen must be unconvinced, and will try his best to pull down the box office record that Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" has just released, which is what Chen Shaoyi is happy to see.
