Chapter 111: Bonus
"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come to the celebration banquet of Tianxia Pictures. There are a lot of guests here today, including my dear elders, as well as respected seniors, many colleagues in the film industry, and of course, many close friends and close friends in the music industry.
After a month of hot screenings, the box office in the local port broke through the 40 million mark, reaching 41 million Hong Kong dollars. I feel very honored to break the box office records of 30 million and 40 million in the film industry one after another, this honor is not only my personal, but all my colleagues in Tianxia Pictures, it is you, it is you who support the first world of Tianxia Pictures.
For today's celebration banquet, the first person I Yan Qingyu wants to thank is not the director, not the screenwriter, and not me, the producer. It's you, the obscure behind-the-scenes staff, and the employees who do every job well. It was you who made the first film of Tianxia Pictures, and I thank you! Because of you, Tianxia Pictures will stand steadily in the Hong Kong film industry. One day, you will stand in the world film industry because of you. So this first drink, I salute all of you. ”
Yan Qingyu bowed deeply to the thirty or forty people in a corner on the first floor, then raised his wine glass and wiped it out.
This move surprised everyone.
Upstairs, Run Run Shaw sighed and said to Jin Yong on the side: "Lao Cha, your son, you have really become a fine!" As long as it is supplemented by benefits, these Shaw Brothers once the most valuable behind-the-scenes talents will steadily become the people in his pocket. ”
As soon as Run Run Shaw finished speaking, Jin Yong had not yet spoken, and heard Yan Qingyu say: "I once told you that Tianxia Pictures will not treat any hero badly. In addition to your guaranteed salary, I will reward you with 5% of the net box office profit of each movie.
Although the net profit of the box office of this film is only 20 million, there are an additional 20 million advertising expenses, and I also include them, so the total base of the local revenue is 40 million. Five percent of it is two million. These two million will be distributed among each and every one of you.
Maybe because of the different division of labor, the amount you get will be different. However, as long as you work diligently in the world film industry, no matter what position you have, the world film industry will reward you equally. Even if you are an employee of the crew sweeping the floor, as long as you work hard, Tianxia Pictures will not treat you badly.
The first person I will award today is the cleaner of our World Pictures, Mr. Li Daye. Because of your hard work, we have always been able to maintain a clean environment in the crew, because your reward today is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”
A middle-aged man in a crumpled suit looked left and right in disbelief before being pushed onto the stage.
Li Daye trembled and took the red envelope from Yan Qingyu's hand, and his eyes were red.
His monthly salary is only 800 Hong Kong dollars, and 5,000 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to more than half a year's salary.
Li Daye was speechless with excitement, and only bowed deeply to Yan Qingyu.
The audience applauded like thunder.
Next, Yan Qingyu distributed the bonuses to every behind-the-scenes personnel one by one, the least was Li Daye's 5,000, and the most was the editor Cai Xiong, a full 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Wang Jing, the director in the audience, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and couldn't help but say to Chow Yun-fat on the side: "Fa Tsai, you said that you even take so much money behind the scenes, don't we people take more?" ”
Chow Yun-fat was busy picking up a big bag of chicken balls to eat, muttering, "Don't dream!" Xiao Yu told me a long time ago, don't even think about the red envelope, the share that should be taken has already been given to us. Don't be too greedy! ”
When Wang Jing heard this, he poured it on his head like a basin of cold water, and he was deeply disappointed and asked unwillingly, "Why?" When was my share given to me? ”
Chow Yun-fat glanced at him with disdain, and before he could speak, he listened to Yan Qingyu's own explanation......
"Generally speaking, the celebration banquet is to give red envelopes to the main creators, directors and leading actors, but Tianxia Pictures does not have this rule. I also told Brother Fa a long time ago that Tianxia Pictures will not give red envelopes to the actors and directors of its films.
Why? It's simple, because I've given you your share. Some people may be suspicious and ask me when I gave it, and they obviously didn't receive it. My answer is, yes, you've received it. That's fame!
The business philosophy of Tianxia Pictures is to take the high-quality route, and it will definitely not follow the trend to hype and make bad movies! Therefore, we guarantee that the world's products will be high-quality. We guarantee that the directors and actors who are willing to work with us will bring them fame, and they will also increase their remuneration by virtue of their fame. If we feel that we are stingy because we don't have red envelopes, and we don't want to work with actors or directors who don't want to work with us, we don't force it.
Of course, this is only for the director, the leading actor and some important supporting roles. Some very hard tricks, stand-ins and supporting roles, we will generously give you a satisfactory red envelope after the filming of the film. You've all received this one, right? ”
Somewhere on the first floor, he suddenly responded: "I have received it, thank you boss for your generosity!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed!
"With a piece of revenue in major sales ports, Tianxia Pictures has made a total profit of HK$168 million......"
"Wow!"
Before Yan Qingyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by an uproar upstairs and downstairs.
Almost all of them turned red, and it was due to envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"How is that possible?"
"There will be so many points? Is it true? ”
"Bragging, huh? I've made movies all my life and I haven't made that much money! ”
"I pick, so earned?"
…………
"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!"
Run Run Shaw couldn't help but look at Yan Qingyu on the stage in shock, and muttered to himself in distraction.
Although his net worth of tens of billions and more than 160 million is not a large amount for him, it is definitely not a small amount.
Even he couldn't help but get his heart moving.
Jin Yong smiled on the side: "Shouldn't Shao Sheng sigh that there is a successor in the Hong Kong film industry?" ”
Even if he had great respect for Jin Yong, Run Run Shaw couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "It is said that Cha Sheng is kind, I don't see where you are kind." picked up such a precious son, and he was still talking cool things on the side. Is there a successor? Am I considered the successor? ”
Huang Zhan on the side was a little angry and said, "Hey, hey! What are you two old guys proud of? That's my proud disciple of Huang Zhan, what's your business? ”
all know that Huang Zhan has always been free and uninhibited, and the two of them don't care about him.
Jin Yong said leisurely: "I have nominated Yu'er as the vice chairman of Ming Pao Group, and I will show him his home for another two years, and Ming Pao will be inherited by him." You say, am I proud or not? ”
As soon as this remark came out, it suddenly had an earth-shattering effect.
Ming Pao can almost be said to be the largest newspaper in Hong Kong, and although it does not have the highest sales, it is the most honest newspaper.
Other newspapers can be seen as gossip and entertainment, but only Ming Pao can be seen as real news.
The market value of Ming Pao Group is at least one billion Hong Kong dollars, and Jin Yong owns 80% of the shares, which means that at least 800 million Hong Kong dollars are needed to take over Ming Pao Group.
Even Run Run Shaw couldn't help but be shocked: "Lao Cha, are you too fond of this righteous son?" ”
Jin Yong laughed and said, "But but! Yu'er is a good boy and a good heir. I allowed him to pay the transfer of Ming Pao's shares in annual instalments after he took over. I believe he can carry forward Ming Pao! ”
Hearing this, Huang Zhan said sourly on the side: "Haven't you always been the most picky?" Maybe the brain is broken, and suddenly so generous. ”
Everyone can hear the meaning of Jin Yong's words, that is, almost for nothing to give Yan Qingyu a Ming Pao Group with a market value of one billion.
Run Run Shaw exclaimed: "Brother Cha, what a spirit! What a spirit! ”
Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai, who were at the same table, looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
And Pan Disheng, who was at the table, Sammo Hung and others were even more shocked when they heard it, how can it be described as envy, jealousy and hatred? My eyes are red!
"Therefore, the giant ship of World Pictures has been officially announced! I sincerely welcome all outstanding film staff to come to work in our world film industry, here, as long as you are talented, you will definitely find your own position. Never let your talent be buried. We will also provide you with a satisfactory salary based on your ability and contribution.
Next, Tianxia Pictures has set up two projects again, the budget of the financial department has been completed, and the director and protagonist have basically been circled! It won't be long before you will sit here again for the masterpieces produced by Tianxia Pictures, but I just hope that by that time, there will be more employees of Tianxia Pictures who will come up to receive the red envelope bonus, and I hope you can receive more bonuses.
Here, I would like to thank Mr. Xie of Longmen Restaurant, today, it is Mr. Xie who provides us with restaurant services free of charge, as one of the oldest in Hong Kong, Longmen Restaurant has prepared many well-known delicacies for us today, such as Mr. Wu Mengda is nibbling on fried chicken, as well as Xing Tsai is tasting treasure fish belly, and how can Fat Tsai not eat enough chicken ball buns! By the way, Brother Fa, shouldn't you only eat Ferrero brand bitter chocolate? Mr. Pitt, the general manager of Ferrero's Hong Kong branch, is also here today, don't let him find out, otherwise he will ask him back for his 10 million sponsorship fee, and I will be in trouble! ”
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this! looked at Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda and Chow Yun-fat.
Few people know that Stephen Chow is on the side, but Wu Mengda is an old actor, and Gao Jin, the gambling god, smirked there, looking amnesiac, which made everyone laugh.
Ferrero's boss, Pete Ferrero, stood up and waved to many people in the film industry.
A staff member on the side said to another: "This is the big Kaizi who paid 10 million?" ”
Before the person on the other side could speak, Pete, who sat down, spoke: "I'm not Kaizi, although I spent 10 million, but the effect of 10 million makes me too satisfied." Especially in Hong Kong, our Ferrero sales this month exceeded all of our sales in Asia over the past year. So, I'm not Kaizi, I'm a shrewd gambler, Pete! ”
