November 12, 1984.

Actor Entertainment high-level conference room.

As a conference room for the company to discuss important events, the atmosphere here is quite unharmonious, and it can even be said to be quite serious.

Duan Zihao, his face was a little tired, he smoked violently, he hadn't smoked so hard for a long time, especially so strong, that his lungs couldn't stand such a violent stimulation, which made him cough a few times, but this was more refreshing.

As the left shoulder and right arm next to Duan Zihao, the fat man Wang Jing and the great director Xu Ke sat on Duan Zihao's left side respectively.

The seat on the opposite right is Zeng Huaqian, who is in charge of the secretary's work, as the woman next to Duan Zihao, she has this kind of qualifications and this kind of power, sitting in such an important position, no one dares to say a word of gossip.

Next, there are many middle and high-level personnel of Actor Entertainment, including some important pillars, such as Fa Ge, Leslie Cheung, Lin Zhengying, and Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung and others.

Spuffing out a puff of cigarette, Duan Zihao asked Zeng Huaqian to stand up and announce the contents of the meeting.

Today's meeting is mainly to summarize the work of the year and the profitability of the film.

Zeng Huaqian first announced several dramas invested and filmed in the first half of the year, including the sequel to "God of Gamblers", "Gambling Saint", "Mr. Zombie", as well as "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Among them, "God of Gamblers 2", "Saint of Gambling" and "Mr. Zombie" have a box office of more than 20 million yuan per drama and an overseas box office of 97.5 million yuan because of following the trend. The total box office is 158 million. Among them, after excluding the share of the theater chain, the total profit is 74.6 million. If you add the sales rights of the videotapes, the three dramas are getting more than 26 million copyright fees. The total profit is nearly 100 million!

As soon as this news came out, everyone was excited.

No one expected that just three dramas would make hundreds of millions of net profits for the company, and they would be able to share dividends when the time came, not to mention how excited they were.

After announcing these, Zeng Huaqian continued to announce the two dramas "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The True Color of Heroes".

Among them, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is still being released, and the total box office in Hong Kong has reached 26 million, and the overseas box office has reached 32 million. It is expected that the final total box office will reach about 70 million, and according to the agreement of four or six shares. Actor Entertainment will make a net profit of 28 million yuan from this play, and with the sale of copyrights in the future, the net profit will reach about 40 million.

Finally, when it comes to the most exciting "The True Color of Heroes", Zeng Huaqian was a little excited. At this time, the fat man Wang Jing couldn't help but say, "Let me announce the boss's movie results." As he spoke, he stood up, took the report, took a deep breath and said: "Next, I will announce the box office results of "The True Color of Heroes" directed by Mr. Duan Zihao and starring Mr. Zhou Yunfa......

It looked like the teacher was announcing the results after the final exam, which was very serious and solemn.

""The True Color of Heroes" was released for three months and one week, and the local box office in Hong Kong was as high as 50 million! The overseas box office reached 130 million, and in addition, the copyright sales reached 43 million. A total of 230 million! ”

With a bang, everyone's heads exploded.

230 million?!

What an incredible statistic!

Everyone looked at Duan Zihao stupidly, as well as Fa Ge. Fa Ge is also stupid, although he knew that the drama he filmed was very popular, but he didn't expect the box office to be so rebellious.

Only Duan Zihao still sat there very calmly, not shocked on the surface, only he knew it, when he knew this data. No less astonished than these people.

The fat man tapped his lips and continued, "Finally. The total profit of "The True Color of Heroes" is 92.78 million! ”

"But don't think that this drama directed by the boss is the champion of our company's profit this year, because there is another drama we invested in that made more money!"

The fat man's words can't help but make everyone inexplicable, there is another play? Isn't there nothing?

The fat man uncovered the mystery and said: "Don't forget, big guy, the boss once persuaded us to invest in the filming of "The Terminator" in Hollywood, for which we invested nearly 10 million US dollars, and now the box office of that drama has also come out, do you know how much?" ”

Everyone shook their heads suspiciously, although they heard that the drama "Terminator" was very popular, but they really didn't know how popular it was.

Seeing this, the fat man said proudly: "This drama has a box office of more than 80 million US dollars in North America, and more than 70 million US dollars at the overseas box office, so our profit is——"

The fat man paused and said, "Our profit is 22.4 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 120 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Everyone was stunned by the data.

No one thought that a Hollywood movie, which everyone was opposed to investing in at the beginning, would make so much money all at once.

How long is the boss Duan Zihao's vision?

What a wisdom!

With a God of Wealth like him in charge, it is estimated that it will not take a few years for Actor Entertainment to dominate Xiangjiang.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by himself, the fat man said proudly: "That is to say, the several dramas that our company plans to shoot in the first half of the year together have earned a net profit of 360 million for the company!" Please applaud this brilliant achievement! ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he was the first to applaud.

Immediately after that, the big guys also applauded.

"Once again, applaud our dear Boss Duan!"

This time, the applause was sudden and violent, and some people even screamed loudly.

Yes, if the calculation is correct, the actual capital reserves of the current actor entertainment are as high as 800 million, of which more than 500 million funds can be operated. How can this not be a surprise.

But the surprise was still behind, and I saw Duan Zihao knock on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Please be quiet." ”

Everyone quieted down, and Duan Zihao said: "Now I want to announce a series of plans of our company next year, among which we are preparing to invest in five films in Hong Kong, namely "Undefeated in the East", "Crazy Boy", "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", "True Colors of Heroes 2", and "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier"; In addition to that, we will increase our investment in Hollywood films, and we will continue to invest in "Terminator 2" due to the last happy cooperation, and there is another Hollywood sci-fi film "Back to the Future" ......"

"Believe me, these two Hollywood movies will bring us greater box office profits, and our Hong Kong assets will slowly become important in Hollywood!" Duan Zihao swore solemnly.

Nonsense, if he remembers well, the box office of "Terminator 2" is even more awesome than the first part, directly breaking 100 million, and "Back to the Future" is the overall box office champion of North American movies in 85, and the box office has reached almost 200 million......

According to his own investment ratio, it will be easy to earn back 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

So, the 80s were good, especially when you know which drama can make a lot of money, and it's even easier to invest boldly than to pick up money on the ground.

For Duan Zihao, now everyone has worshiped as a "god", everything he says is right and correct, where did he miss every investment? Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed to enter Hollywood, invest in Hollywood movies, and let Hong Kong's hot money roll in Hollywood and earn sky-high returns.

Therefore, everyone unanimously raised their hands in favor of Duan Zihao's decision.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic expressions, Duan Zihao made persistent efforts and announced: "Finally, what I want to tell you is...... Our actor entertainment company will be officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the next few days——"

With a bang, everyone's heads exploded again.

Listing?!

"Yes, you heard you right, when I met with Sir Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong, I discussed this matter, and he felt that the listing of our company would promote the prosperity and development of Hong Kong films, so he gave us very favorable terms in this regard. After thinking about it, I also think that this is an opportunity to expand the development and growth of Actor Entertainment, and roughly estimate that if our Actor Entertainment is officially listed in Hong Kong, we will be able to raise more funds at that time, which will be very beneficial to the development of our company...... Therefore, I hope that you will be able to buy more shares of the company by then, ok?! ”

Hahaha, everyone laughed.

Needless to say? Everyone knows that the shares of Actor Entertainment will definitely become a golden egg if they are listed, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to grab it when the time comes.

……

After the meeting, I saw that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

As a 9-to-5 Hong Kong person, it's usually time to get off work at this time.

However, the actor entertainment company is too busy, so the big guys are working overtime to do their own things. For example, the great director Xu Ke is struggling with the script of "Undefeated in the East".

In his opinion, these two dramas must be shot with new ideas, at least not like the previous martial arts movies, otherwise they will smash their own signboards. Now that he is popular, Xu Ke cares a lot about his signboard.

As for the fat man Wang Jing, he is busy studying the story outline of "Crazy Boy".

This story outline was given to him by Duan Zihause, and he was required to flesh out the whole story. For this reason, after the fat man was busy with the work of the Red Pavilion, he went to the company to work as a screenwriter non-stop. For him, now he can't wait to become Sun Wukong, and he can conjure up countless clones with a single hair.

There is also director Liu Guanwei, he is busy with the script of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Mushroom King" Wong Kar-wai, after some painful experience, he is ready to take the route of combining literature and business, his script is called "Mong Kok Carmen", and he chose Jacky Cheung, Lau Dehua, and Maggie Cheung for the protagonist.

In short, now the entire actor entertainment is fighting hard, and no one has time to get off work early.

Duan Zihao is the same, as the big boss of the company, he doesn't have much private space, in addition to dealing with some affairs at hand, he has to be busy practicing songs and preparing for his concert. (To be continued)
