The celebration banquet is an important social occasion in the Hong Kong film industry, especially for successful films that have achieved great results in the industry. Xiangjiang itself is not a big place, and as long as everyone in the circle wants to, they can more or less climb up to a little friendship, friends of friends, friends of friends......

Many of the guests who came today brought their friends, many of whom have become famous, more who are not famous, and some who came uninvited, and all kinds of people gathered together.

Li Xuechu seems to have changed several waves of people around him, there are a few familiar faces in later generations, but more of them are people he doesn't know at all, these people may have disappeared after a few years, or they have never been mixed. There's no way, the circle is so big, after all, there are only a few who can become famous, and most people are still difficult to remember. This is still a small and entertaining Xiangjiang, and it is estimated that it will be even more difficult in China in later generations.

Dealt with a large group of people before and after, Rao is Li Xuechu has a good memory, except for the 'acquaintances' of later generations, most of the people's impressions are still blurred, I don't know if I can still think of the face when I look at the business card tomorrow, but a few beautiful female artists who said vaguely and seemed to have some hints were impressed. Li Xuechu smiled bitterly in his heart, no wonder there are many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, when dozens of people grab a position, it is inevitable that some people will want to take shortcuts, and for those who have the right to choose, they have to face waves of various material spirits**, and they can basically be regarded as saints who can keep themselves clean.

Hung Jinbao and Mecca also chatted with Wang and Li for a while, and both expressed their appreciation for several of Li Xuechu's other novels. After the big talk king sold well, the price of Xiao Li's other novels also rose. However, neither of them expressed the idea of wanting to buy, and the sky-high price of one million offered by Lei Tycoon has calmed many people, after all, the local box office of more than six million is considered a high box office, and the cost of making zuò is more than three million, even if it is a big production, it is difficult to return to the cost in the local area, and it is difficult to determine whether it can sell well after the overseas box office cycle is long. What should I do after an adaptation right asks for a million?

Mecca is not in a hurry, if Tycoon Lei buys it, who will he do it for? As for Hong Jinbao, dozens of people have to be raised, but the cost is not thick, and it takes half a year to hit a film on the street, and if you want to make a big production, you have to think carefully. I really haven't done it before the last 200,000 yuan to buy a script for the Hong family class, but the story theme is very fond of and is in the trial period of transformation, and I made an exception, and the script of one million is really out of the range.

As time went by, the celebration banquet finally came to an end. Except for some second- and third-tier artists who are still struggling to find opportunities, most of them are gone. Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun didn't stay at the banquet for a long time, after sending away the two bottles of Buddha, Hong Jinbao Mecca and others also left one after another, Hong Jinbao may have been instructed by Boss Zou, hinting that Wang Li and the others will go to find Boss Zou tomorrow, Mecca is next to him smiling and not speaking, maybe he has already thought of it, but I don't know if he will sue Boss Lei?

After the banquet ended, Wang and Li took a ride back together.

"Chuzai, it's only been less than three months, and your kid has directly become a millionaire." Wang Fatzi said a little sourly.

Li Xuechu looked at him amusedly: "Isn't it yet?" ”

"Isn't it sooner or later? How about it, now that you have the money, how about sponsoring me to make a few movies? ”

"Have you decided on the script?"

"Not yet, but don't worry, I think the script is always fast." Wang Fatzi is quite proud of his screenwriting ability, but thinking about the perverts around him, his smug look is put away again, no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster. "By the way, how about keeping a copy of your script for me to shoot? I promise to earn you more than one million, anyway, you have opened a film company, you can't stop filming yourself, right? ”

"Okay, which one do you want?" This Li Xuechu doesn't care, he still has some confidence in Wang Fatzi himself, he shouldn't pounce, and if he really gives it all to Lei Tycoon, it is estimated that Zou Wenhuai will be annoyed.

"How's that detective plane?" Wang Jin asked tentatively.

Li Xuechu gave him a strange look, he deserved to be the master of the style of, pee and fart in later generations, and he actually took a fancy to this one at a glance? But this novel is the only one that is not suitable for putting the scene in Xiangjiang, Li Xuechu changed the protagonist to a Chinese detective living in New York's Chinatown, but now there are only a handful of Chinese people who mix well with Hollywood, or at present, there is only Li Xiaolong who has passed away, Golden Harvest has been promoting Chen Long to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and he is ambitious to create a Chinese superstar after Li Xiaolong. However, Li Xuechu knew that when Chen Long could really gain a foothold in Hollywood, he would have to wait until the peak moment to become popular before he could be regarded as a Hollywood movie star. It is estimated that the future of this film adaptation is really not great.

"How do you like this, this novel is not easy to shoot in Xiangjiang, right? Do you want to go to Hollywood? ”

Wang Fatzi grinned and said, "I've just made a name for myself in Xiangjiang, what are you doing in Hollywood?" I'll just change some of the plot settings, don't worry, I promise I won't pounce. ”

"No, you can change to something else." Let Wang Fatzi change I don't know what it will become, if this film is going to be filmed, Li Xuechu estimates that only Xing Ye's style is quite suitable, but that will have to wait for a few years to talk about it, and now Xing Ye doesn't know where to squat in the pimple.

Wang Jin retreated: "What about the fake gods?" ”

"That's going to be a special effect, can you play with it?" There are really no companies engaged in special effects in Xiangjiang movies now, and the movie that is engaged in special effects seems to be the legend of Shushan Swordsman directed by Xu Ke two years later, but this 'luxury masterpiece' that cost 20 million Xiangjiang coins at that time was a mess at the box office, and Xu Ke seemed to be unable to get along in Golden Harvest that time, so he had to leave the New Art City, which was regarded as a pit for Golden Harvest.

Wang Jin smiled slightly: "I know this, but I thought about it carefully, in fact, it doesn't have to be special effects, let's think of a way to edit it, I'll tell you when I go back." ”

This is possible, the country can even use the earth method to drum up the satellite in the sky, and it may be possible to overcome the past if you really find a way to do it, after all, there are not many scenes to do special effects, the main thing is the scene that pulls out the infinitely long drawer and pulls the moon, and everything else is easy to overcome.

Li Xuechu thought for a while and said, "Okay, if you can do it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Just wait for your words, don't worry, you'll see when the time comes." Wang Jin said proudly: "Actually, similar situations have been encountered before, aren't they all good?" ”

Thinking of some of the 'special effects' of the old movie, Li Xuechu grinned. Forget it, this is the characteristic of the times, if it's almost passable, forget it, save more than ten years.

After going back, Wang Fatzi frothed at the mouth and talked about his ideas, which were nothing more than some blind spots that used photography, editing combinations, props, etc., Xiao Li thought about it and felt that it was funny, so the movie was decided, so that the second work of the film company was finalized.

The next day, Wang and Li rushed to Jiahe Company, mainly because of Hong Jinbao's request yesterday, and by the way, they also went to get the box office share of Dahua Wang, which should have been calculated now.

When they arrived at Jiahe, Boss Zou personally came out to greet the two, which made the two of them a little nervous, especially Li Xuechu, I don't know if Boss Zou would have any opinion of himself if Lei Tycoon bought the script at a sky-high price before.

After a polite look, Zou Wenhuai took the results of the box office share, the total box office of more than 10 million, Li Xuechu's film company was divided into 40%, and then deducted some reserve money and taxes and the like to get 3.67 million, although the two of them roughly estimated this result when they did their own calculations, they were still a little overjoyed when they really got it. The total cost of Dahua Wang's production is less than one million, 450,000 in cash, plus the salaries of the actors, crew, props rent, and Li Xuechu's 200,000 novel adaptation fees, which is more than 900,000 yuan, making three times the profit. And Li Xuechu can get nearly 30% or so, about 800,000, and Wang Fatzi also has nearly 300,000, and there will be more points in the future.

"Hehehe, congratulations to the two of you, you made a lot of money on this trip, right?" Zou Wenhuai asked with a smile.

The two of them are also happy, but they are still modest, the money earned by the cinema line is actually about the same as that of the production system, not to mention that the current Xiangjiang is basically arranged by the cinema line, but the risk of people's investment is relatively high.

Zou Wenhuai continued: "I don't know how much Chu Tsai invested this time, but as long as it reaches 20%, the profit earned will definitely not be less than one million, after all, the box office share of Nanyang and South Korea and Japan may not be less than that of Xiangjiang, and Taiwan is relatively less, but it is also quite considerable." ”

Li Xuechu understood the meaning of the words, the prospects of the film industry are very good now, and the money you can get by participating in film investment will be much more than selling scripts. However, this will only be the case when the movie does not hit the street, and the two ways have their own advantages and disadvantages, there is no risk in taking money directly, and the risk is shared if you participate in investment, but if the movie can be a hot seller, the benefits you may get are much greater, such as this time.

Li Xuechu didn't want to beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "Did Uncle Huai fall in love with which of the kid's novels?" ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Actually, I like every book very much, but compared to Boss Lei's spirit, I am still a little willing to bow down, so I can only vote for some of them." Can the killer Leon and the rat catcher cut their love? Of course, I won't let Xiaoyou suffer, I will calculate 1.2 million for Chuzai in the script, and you can participate in the investment, do you think it? ”

Li Xuechu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Boss Zou was interested in these two parts. Let's not talk about the mouse catcher, Killer Leon, a gunfight action movie with a large investment, really has to be a little bold to invest when Xiangjiang's current action movies are not favored. Now the true colors of heroes have not come out, and the shootout action movies have been filmed one after another, which is basically not favored by the industry, unlike the hundreds of films a year in later generations.

"I don't know who Uncle Ang Huai plans to direct in the killer?"

"This film is Wu Yushen's favorite, and I plan to let him shoot it." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "Although he used to make comedies, he used to study under the great director Zhang Ce, and he wanted to get sick when he wanted to shoot action dramas, so let him get his wish if he has the opportunity this time." ”

Li Xuechu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if the master of violent aesthetics came to shoot, it is estimated that the possibility of being photographed is much smaller.

"Okay Uncle Huai, these two books will be handed over to Uncle Huai. I also want to invest in the killer Leon, I don't know if I can? ”

"Hehe, this is easy to do." Zou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is the best result. He is actually not very happy to kill Leon in his heart, but Wu Yushen has a soft spot for this theme, and he also wants to tie people down when he votes for this film. And I'm really optimistic about the rat catcher, if Li Xuechu wants to invest, the profits will also be divided a lot, but you can't help but let people vote, right? Ren Chuzi has written so many promising works in just a few months, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of opportunities to cooperate with this junior in the future, and it is still necessary to keep it.
