"Mr. Zou, how is the movie?"

Everyone returned to Zou Wenhuai's office, and after they were seated, Li Xuan hurriedly asked. Zou Wenhuai sat in the boss's chair, with a large row of bookcases behind him, and the whole office looked more like a study.

"The plot is good, the shooting is ......, and it's not bad." Zou Wenhuai, who was still a little depressed now, thought about it and replied. Originally, he wanted to say that the shooting was average, but as soon as he thought about it, he suddenly found that this kind of movie is the best way to shoot documentary, and it can bring people a sense of panic and depression the most, so he immediately changed his tune.

"Uncle Huai, what about the release?" Before Li Xuan could reply, Wang Jin next to him couldn't wait to ask. After all, not only did he take a few shots in this film, but he also made a cameo.

Knocking on the desk with his right hand, Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "I can show you fourteen theaters." ”

"Really?" Li Xuan and Wang Jin were overjoyed, at first they thought that there were only about a dozen at the most, but now they have risen to fourteen. Although the base fee is definitely a little more, it is still within the affordable range.

"Hmm." Zou Wenhuai nodded: "However, the film schedule is estimated to be put to next month, and this month is already full." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Xuan muttered and smiled, "It's good later." That Boss Zou, we may have to send the bottom fee in half a month, and now we are a little tight. ”

"Uh, haha. Mr. Li is really interesting. Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment and laughed and then said: "As long as you send the base fee before the midnight test screening of the movie, it will be fine, but Mr. Li has to send the publicity fee and copy fee as soon as possible." ”

Publicity and copy fees? Li Xuan was stunned, why did he have two more expenses?

"Eh, Uncle Huai, Uncle Huai." Seeing that Li Xuan was stunned, Wang Jin hurriedly said: "The publicity fee and copy fee can be deducted from the box office." ”

Zou Wenhuai was really stunned at this time, looked at Li Xuan and the others and said: "If you deduct this button, according to the rules, it will be ten percent of the box office." In this case, you will only get 30% of the box office? ”

Now Li Xuan finally knows how cheating the bottom fee is, unlike him who made this movie with less than 100,000 yuan. Other film companies, labor, equipment, actors, scripts and venues all have to spend money, such a movie has to spend at least more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then get it to the theater to be released, and you have to pay a minimum fee of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, plus a publicity copy fee of more than 100,000 yuan, and it will go to 800,000 Hong Kong dollars at once. And now Hong Kong's distribution companies and cinemas are basically one, just like Golden Harvest is a distribution company and a cinema chain, and the implementation is four or six accounts, and the film side is forty percent of the theater line. In other words, a low-cost movie can only be considered flat if it gets at least two million films at the box office, and a box office of less than two million is considered a loss, but how many movies at this time have exceeded two million?

That is to say, Li Xuan made the movie a little earlier, and after the establishment of the Golden Princess Cinema in another year, the situation will be much better. The greatest achievement of the Golden Princess is the abolition of the theater package system, which reduces the pressure on the film business, and improves the active surname and business vitality of the Reading Power Production Company. Generally, the films ranked in the Golden Princess Cinema are distributed by the Golden Princess, but in order to help the Reading Company, many of the Reading Company's films are distributed by themselves.

"Mr. Zou, thirty is thirty, we can accept it." Li Xuan spoke beside him. Fourteen theaters plus Golden Harvest's publicity, but the two million box office is sorry for Golden Harvest's skin. Li Xuan didn't bother to copy and publicize those crooked ways, so he left it to someone familiar with it.

"Then it's a deal." Zou Wenhuai squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xuan: "Mr. Li has started filming at such a young age, do you want to try it in our Golden Harvest?" "He knows what Li Xuan's Xuanyuan company is, that is, a shell company. Although this kid's filming skills are not very good, the script is not bad, and he is a talent.

Into Golden Harvest? Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. With his half-bucket of directing talent, this old man Zou definitely doesn't look down on him, probably because he wants to be a good screenwriter. This is not in line with Li Xuan's wishes, and several screenwriters in later generations made a fortune, so they quickly refused: "Thank you Boss Zou for your kindness, I am still learning to make films with Uncle Tianlin." This film is all after-school works, and I won't come to Golden Harvest to show ugliness now. ”

"I see." It is estimated that Zou Wenhuai didn't expect Li Xuan and Wang Jin to have this relationship, looked at Wang Jin and said to Li Xuan: "Okay, when you get out of the school one day, we will welcome you at any time!" ”

"Haha, thank you Boss Zou!" Li Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Old fox!" As soon as Wang Fatzi got into the car they borrowed Wang Tianlin, he shook his head and sighed in the driver's seat.

Li Xuan, who was looking excited in the back seat, was stunned: "What? ”

didn't rush to drive, Wang Jin turned around and said to the two people behind him with a strange face: "You never thought that Jiahe would give you fourteen theaters?" ”

"Forehead......" Li Xuan touched his nose: "Isn't that my movie a good shot." ”

"!" Wang Jin hit without hesitation: "Now comedy and kung fu films can make a lot of money, and horror movies are at most two million yuan." I'm sure now that Golden Harvest won't have any new films coming out next month! ”

"How can you be sure?" Zhong Chuhong asked unwillingly on the side.

"Hehe" Wang Fatzi laughed, stretched out three fingers and said: "Jiahe's current two generals and another upcoming general will not have a film next month." ”

"The upcoming general? Chenglong? Li Xuan suddenly remembered the scene he had just seen at the door of Zou Wenhuai's office.

"Yes, but don't interrupt!" Wang Fatzi glared at Li Xuan: "The first Xu Yiwen has been working behind the scenes in Jiahe recently, and he didn't come out to make a film." The second Hong Jingbao has been filming "Miscellaneous Boys" recently, and I heard that half of the filming has been completed, but it is estimated that it will be in April after the completion of the later stage. The third Chenglong, who has just written, directed and acted in a "Laughing Boxing Trick", has already begun to prepare for publicity, and it will be released this month. Therefore, March happens to be the gap period of Golden Harvest, which is called early rather than coincidental! ”

"Wow! Is there a new film from Chenglong this month? Li Xuan didn't say anything yet, but Zhong Chuhong next to him called out in surprise first.

Li Xuan frowned: "What are you happy about when he has a new film?" ”

"Why can't you be happy? I'm a fan of Chenglong! Zhong Xiaoniu glared at Li Xuan.

"That's not going to work!" Li Xuan was taken aback: "You can't be a fan of Chenglong, that guy ......" Li Xuan suddenly got stuck, and he remembered that guy had just become popular now, and he hadn't had much contact with those female stars, and he didn't have the nickname of Fang Shilong.

"What's that guy?" Zhong Chuhong looked at Li Xuan suspiciously.

"Ahem!" Li Xuan coughed: "How can that guy compare to me, if you want to be fascinated, you will also be fascinated by me." ”

"Vomit ......"

"What do you mean, fatty?" Li Xuan looked at the fat man in the front seat with an unkind face.

Wang Jin hurriedly started the car embarrassedly: "What, this is the pregnant husband's reaction." Have you heard of the pregnant husband's reaction? There is a study in the United States that shows that about 90% of men who are about to become fathers have some symptoms of pregnancy sickness. It's like vomiting, irritability, and ......."

Too lazy to pay attention to the fat man Wang who started to talk nonsense again, Li Xuan turned his head and said to Zhong Chuhong: "You can't be a fan of those guys in the future, you will be a big star in the future, call them mini." "You have to get vaccinated quickly, Fang Shilong's nickname is not called in vain.

"Got it!" Zhong Xiaoniu glanced at Li Xuan: "You will coax me." ”

"I didn't coax you, I didn't coax you." Li Xuan hurriedly hugged Zhong Chuhong, as for the fat man in front, just treat him as if he didn't exist.

The car had just passed by a Shaw Brothers theater, and Li Xuan looked at the sparse crowd outside the theater and sighed: "The Shaw Brothers are really in decline." ”

"Hey, Xuanzai!" The fat man in front of him suddenly shouted.

"What's the matter?"

"I remembered a funny thing......"

After waiting for a long time, the fat man was gone, and Li Xuan was not in a hurry to ask, hugging Zhong Xiaoniu and putting his hands up and down.

"Uh......" Wang Fat Man couldn't help it: "Why don't you ask?" ”

"Aren't you going to say it?"

Now the fat man was defeated, and said stupidly: "Okay." Think about it, in January, Shaw Brothers Chu Yuan's "Full Moon Scimitar" vs. Golden Harvest's "Thief Detective Duoduo", in February, Zhang Ce's "Life and Death Fight" vs. Cheng Long's "Laughing Fist Strange Moves", guess who you will face in March? ”

"How do I know? I haven't been asking about these things all day, and besides, hasn't Boss Zou decided when he will be on my film? Li Xuan said angrily.

"Don't worry, it won't be more than March 5th. In the past few years, Shaw Brothers has guaranteed that Li Hanxiang's Fengyue film will make a steady profit and not lose money, and Golden Harvest will definitely use your movie to fight in the ring. Old man Zou has a big appetite, and both of them happen to be ghost movies. ”

Now Li Xuanqi was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What is Li Hanxiang's film?" ”

"Ghost Calls Spring"

Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong were both stunned. Sure enough, it's a good film as soon as you hear the name.
