The next day, all the people in Quanxiang ~ Hong Kong are looking forward to the early release of "God of Gamblers", in fact, not only Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong, but also Taiwan ~ Bay and Singapore and other places, all places where there are Chinese people are also because of Chen Xiaotang's sentence "If it is not good-looking, welcome to spit" and collectively said that they are looking forward to the release of "God of Gamblers", and they are looking forward to being able to spit on unpleasantly afterwards; However, what they don't know is that Chen Xiaotang is now happily contacting filmmakers from various regions in Asia!

The foreign market of Hong Kong films has always occupied a very important position in the box office revenue of Hong Kong films, and relatively speaking, the box office in Taiwan~Bay, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and other regions is particularly important!

For example, in the sixties and seventies, when Shaw Brothers and Dianmao competed for dominance in the Chinese film industry, they both took the foreign market as the focus to develop. www.biquge.info For this reason, Shao Tycoon went to Nanyang three times, and signed screening contracts with Chinese filmmakers in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, especially in the most glorious Fengyue film period of Shaw Brothers, basically like "New Official ~ I Want", "Zubenyu ~ Futon" and "Nanyang Evil Fall" and other Hong Kong movies mixed with erotic~ color, are the most popular in other cities.

However, with the earthquake in Dianmao, Shaw Brothers lost its competitors, just like the crocodile in the crocodile pool has no foreign enemies, so it is no longer so attentive to making films, coupled with the impact of the financial turmoil, so that the external market is gradually sluggish; It is only now that the golden decade of Hong Kong films has re-emerged, and the importance of the external market has become prominent.

Thanks to Chen Xiaotang's fame and loud slogans. Today, the filmmakers who came to Chen Xiaotang to discuss the release of "God of Gamblers" in other cities were indecided. Groups of people are endless, and what Chen Xiaotang has to do is to try to reduce the income of the filmmakers, after all, when the market is competitive, then of course the producers need to maximize the maximum benefits through negotiations!

No matter who you are, no matter how big the theater chain you control, as long as you come, then, Chen Xiaotang will sit down with you very sincerely to communicate with you, until someone notifies you that another guest is coming. He will send you out, and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, the dividend you asked for is too high." I really can't answer you right now, please go back and wait first! ”

It is this way of hospitality that Chen Xiaotang transferred all the pressure to the filmmakers who came to negotiate cooperation business, and the effect was unimaginably perfect.

The most direct embodiment is that many filmmakers who were still very tough at the beginning asked for 73 dividends have automatically reduced the number of dividends they demanded, from 7 to 6 percent, and then to 5 percent, and this price is already the best price in Chen Xiaotang's heart, after all, the theater share is only 64, and now half is sharp enough!

One day. It was just a day for Chen Xiaotang to rely on his special identity as the "God of Gamblers" to fan the flames and get rid of all the foreign releases in Asia except Hong Kong, all of which were distributors accounting for 5 percent, and Magic Shadow Entertainment Film Company also accounted for 5 percent!

Of course, such contracts are temporary, and in the eyes of those filmmakers in other cities, if it weren't for Chen Xiaotang playing crazy enough this time and making the name of "God of Gamblers" in the gambling boat, they would not have let go. In the future, Qisan will still not be able to run.

But for Chen Xiaotang, this time I can make you five-five. As the Shadow continues to grow, the future of Four-Six may not be known. In short, both sides have their own small calculations.

After signing the contract, the only thing Chen Xiaotang needed to worry about was that he was worried that the filmmaker would cheat on the accounts, so Chen Xiaotang had to appoint an employee of Magic Shadow Entertainment Film Company to supervise.

"I'm dizzy, there are so many theaters in the hands of those movie distributors. How many people do you have to do it! Chen Xiaotang rubbed his hair in distress, finally. In the case that there was really no way, I had to go to the fat man Wang Jing to discuss!

"Haha, what's so upset about this?" The fat man listened to the reason for the matter, and smiled disdainfully: "Do you see that the newly recruited entertainers of Magic Shadow Entertainment are still idle now?" Pull them out directly for a publicly-funded tour, do you think this problem is still a problem? ”

"That's right! I've signed so many actors, and now I haven't started the show, why don't I send them all out to see them? Chen Xiaotang jumped up excitedly, hugged the fat man fiercely and said, "Oh yes, I love you to death!" ”

"Ahem! Let it go! I'm about to be strangled to death by you! The fat man almost turned his back on his breath, and it took a long time before he drank saliva and said: "Don't be too happy, let's think about what kind of situation you will face if "God of Gamblers" pounces at that time!" ”

The fat man smiled sinisterly and said fiercely: "Those who deceive the people of the world will definitely have very serious consequences!" Hehe, you'd better get ready to run! Otherwise, if you drown in saliva at that time, you will have a big game! ”

"You guy, what do you say is also the director of this play! How do you turn your elbow outward? Can you pick up something nice to say? ”

"I'm giving you a vaccination!" The fat man smiled, "In case you are chased and cut, then run away to Thailand, I have already prepared for you, horse killing chicken, sauna, and Thai three treasures, ruby sapphire and shemale!" ”

Chen Xiaotang fainted, and the fat man's words suddenly reminded Chen Xiaotang of a play "Thai Embarrassment" in his previous life. It is said that this masterpiece has broken the traditional Chinese myth of an unbreakable billion, and it can be regarded as a time to raise eyebrows for Chinese movies. In fact, the selling point of this drama is exactly what the fat man just said, "Thailand has three treasures, red sapphires and shemales"! Especially the ladyboy is a characteristic of Thailand, Chen Xiaotang even considered whether to copy this masterpiece and stir it up in advance?

But Chen Xiaotang immediately dispelled this idea, it is certain that if Chen Xiaotang comes up with a "Thai Embarrassment" now, he will definitely lose all his money!

Why is this happening? Because the drama "Thai Embarrassment" is a comedy story set for mainland audiences at that time, and Hong Kong's comedy route today is the ", pee, and fart" of Wang Fatzi in front of him, as well as the "nonsense" of Zhou Xingchi's classmates in the future. If you move a movie that pleases mainland audiences to Hong Kong and sell it, it is simply unsuitable, and it is strange that you will not be compensated to death!

On the other hand, if the "God of Gamblers" filmed by Chen Xiaotang is arranged to be released in the mainland, it is estimated that it will ...... It is estimated that even the release will be a problem! Because the mainland is super forbidden to gamble, aren't you arranging such a movie specifically to oppose the government and engage in cultural attacks? We must strike hard, strike hard thoroughly!

Since movies like "God of Gamblers" cannot be circulated in the mainland market, and "Thai Embarrassment" is too advanced and not suitable for production and release in the mainland, after all, at this time, the mainland people even have a problem with food and clothing, who has spare money to travel to Thailand? Who has the spare money to sit in the cinema and watch a movie? The only films that can get the mainland government to support the screening must be patriotic, or kung fu films with patriotic spirit, such as the kung fu film "Shaolin Temple", which was popular in China back then.......

Chen Xiaotang's brain moved quickly, and he immediately had an idea, because he remembered his long-prepared new film "Jingwu Hero"!

Haha, this drama is simply a preparation specifically for entering ~ attacking ~ the mainland film market. With patriotism and kung fu, coupled with the free publicity that the previous TV series "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen" helped me, it would be a big loss if this drama was not screened in the mainland.

In the mainland, the market of more than one billion, "Shaolin Temple" earned 100 million yuan for a dime and a ticket, what kind of concept is that, 1.1 billion people have 100 million people who have entered the cinema!

Chen Xiaotang couldn't imagine that if his "Jingwu Hero" was really successful, wouldn't it be even more rebellious than the future billion-dollar masterpiece "Thai Embarrassment"? !

The more Chen Xiaotang thought about it, the more excited he became, the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, his cheeks couldn't help but flush, his eyes showed spring waves, in the eyes of the fat man, he was simply super lewd~!

"Hey, Ah Tang, you're fine, right? I said that the failure of "God of Gamblers" made you run away to Thailand, you don't need to be so happy, right? ”

Coming back to his senses, Chen Xiaotang hurriedly concealed his excitement about opening up the mainland market in the future, and said to the fat man with disdain: "Do you think I'm so self-conscious? Let me tell you, in this world, if there is one movie that can get such an evaluation from me, then it is our "God of Gamblers"! Look at it, it's going to be a big deal! ”

"You're the only one who says that!" The fat man sighed, "Don't look at you, our foreign cities are selling very well, they are all hype, look at Hong Kong, except for Shaw Brothers who is willing to borrow our theaters to arrange films, other theaters are waiting to see jokes." ”

"And that Yongsheng Entertainment, I heard that the Xiang brothers and the Golden Princess Cinema have negotiated conditions, and their new drama "Wesley and Yuan Zhenxia" will be fully released in the entire theater. And they use the signboard of Zhou Runfa, and the films in the foreign markets, especially in Taiwan~Bay and other places, also sell very well; In addition to this, they also used the power of the New Ngee An community to ban other theaters from showing our films, otherwise they will bear the consequences! So, Ah Tang, don't be too optimistic, we may not win this battle. Even if we win in the foreign market, if we fail in Hong Kong, we will still be trampled on the head! ”

The fat man poured cold water so much that the hot-headed Chen Xiaotang calmed down, yes, he only cared about being happy before, but ignored the importance of the local market in Hong Kong. Now Yongsheng intends to fight with himself, and has taken the initiative in the theater chain, if he hadn't won six movie theaters by chance, maybe there would not even be a place for the premiere. The reason why Shaw Brothers will help themselves is that on the one hand, they were born in TVB, and secondly, they made a lot of money by filming, but after all, Shaw Brothers has reduced production a lot, and the movie theater chain is no longer as brilliant as before, and it seems that it is still very difficult for him to get out of the encirclement with "God of Gamblers".

"You're right, I'm a little too complacent!" Chen Xiaotang admitted his mistake and said, "Yongsheng has the support of the entire New Ngee An community behind it, coupled with the connections that have been in business for a long time, the first drama will definitely be more pleasing than us, but we don't have to be discouraged, the movie is a heartbeat, and no one knows who is the big winner until the last moment!" ”

At that moment, Chen Xiaotang took a deep breath and suddenly had high morale. Even the fat man Wang Jing seemed to be infected by him, and smiled, "In this way, I may really be worrying about the sky!" Hehe! ”

Both laughed at the same time.

In the laughter, both of them knew that the decisive battle was just around the corner! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
