After Li Mingbao and Aunt Liu held each other a few handfuls, everyone began to get to the point.

Aunt Sixth spoke first: "I heard that you want to show this film in all Shaw Brothers theaters at the same time, right?" ”

"Yes, there is no problem with the quality of my film, and the main focus is on the student market, and it happens to be screened in the summer, so no one will watch it. More cinema screenings, maybe there will be a miracle. Li Mingbao said with a shy face.

"But you have to know that now the whole of Hong Kong can let us Shaw Brothers co-screen films, and they are all treated by big directors, like Chu Yuan, Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan. You don't think that after you make a movie, you are a great director before it is released, right? Fang Yihua held his glasses and said sternly.

Hearing Fang Yihua's words, Li Mingbao really wanted to scold his mother in his heart. Fang Yihua's words are not wrong, in terms of the rules of the Hong Kong film industry now, it is quite correct, but Li Mingbao, who knows the ending of the four directors of Shaw Brothers, really doesn't have much interest in these four people.

Li Hanxiang has become a big master of salty and wet films at this time, although Chu Yuan is known as Chu Wan, but at this time he has already begun to become a film machine, and Zhang Che himself will go out of Shaw Brothers in two years, and there will be no big exhibition after that. The last one left, Hu Jinquan, no one else is in Hong Kong now, is it okay, he went to Taiwan to do art, where can you let him make movies?

Although Li Mingbao knows these things, he can't say this, if he says it, it will be a slap in the face, the sixth aunt's face is not so easy to beat, now the face is cool, and then Li Mingbao has to sing: Please give me another chance.

The reason why Fang Yihua said these things is just a necessary means of negotiation, although Shao Daheng said that he would take care of Li Mingbao, Fang Yihua himself also has such thoughts, if he doesn't watch Li Mingbao's movie, it doesn't matter if he gives face, it will be released across the board, and that's it, if the film is not good to be released for a day or two, the number of screenings will be reduced, anyway, they have already given Li Mingbao face, the film is not powerful, don't blame them Shaw Brothers for not giving face.

But when the sixth aunt watched Li Mingbao's film, with the filmmaker's intuition, she knew that this film would be a big hit. If you have money to make and save face, you have to have some conditions. started to show this film, because I didn't think it would make money, it doesn't matter how it comes, after all, if you don't release Li Mingbao's film, you will also release other films that will lose money, all of them are losses, and there are no other problems.

But seeing that this film will make money, it will be different. The conditions given to Li Mingbao by the sixth uncle before were too good, and when he was in debt, it didn't matter how much the box office was, but if he made money, one more box office would be a big number! Especially when the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is in a recession recently, having money to make can also give the people in the cinema some confidence, so that everyone will not be as bitter as they are now.

Li Mingbao somewhat understood what Aunt Sixth meant, so he took the initiative to speak: "Of course I don't think I'm a big director now, compared to those predecessors, I'm still a seedling." But the quality of this movie is really good, if you want to completely release the market, there is only such a way as a full-line joint screening, I can make money, Shaw Brothers can also make money, everyone is happy, isn't it good? ”

"Are you so sure that this movie will make money? Ah Leopard, be a man, don't be too confident, although Aunt Six is very optimistic about your movie, but the problem is that Aunt Six is optimistic, it doesn't mean that the market is also optimistic, the quality of the movie is ultimately judged by the box office, in case the box office is not good, wouldn't our Shaw Brothers have to lose money? The full-line screening is not a joke, you still need to be cautious, besides, if you are a new director, you can get the treatment of those big directors, and it is not in accordance with the rules. Fang Yihua said in a preachy tone, and it was quite sincere.

"I know it's really not quite the rules, but the rules, aren't they all set by you, Aunt Six? And I also believe in your vision of Aunt Liu, the movie you are optimistic about will definitely sell well at the box office. If you lose money, you can reduce the number of screenings, which is not difficult for Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Otherwise, Aunt Six, you change the rules for me once, and I will make appropriate concessions, this movie, the box office share will be divided according to four or six, I will reduce one share, and the theater chain will take one more. And I will also give you a big gift to Aunt Six in return. In this way, Aunt Liu, you won't lose money. Li Mingbao said with a painful face.

Originally, when the movie was released, the general practice of box office sharing was roughly 4:4:2, that is, the theater took 40%, the film party took 40%, and the last 20% was for the businessmen.

And subdivided into Li Mingbao's happy ghost, due to the film production and line, Li Mingbao is running by himself, such things as contacting Shaw Brothers Cinemas were originally done by the industry, but now Li Mingbao has done it himself, which is equivalent to the 20% travel fee, which is put into Li Mingbao's pocket.

So divided into the above, this movie is missing the line, and there are only two participants, Li Mingbao and Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Before that, the sixth uncle was very generous to Li Mingbao, and he only needed 30% of the theater screening fee. I didn't think about making money in the first place.

But now Fang Yihua sees the possibility of making money, and it is also the possibility of making a lot of money, and then look at the previous way of opening and sharing, naturally he is not so happy, don't underestimate this success, just talk about the Hong Kong film market, if the total box office of the film in Hong Kong is 1 million, this achievement is 100,000 yuan, if the box office is 10 million, then this achievement is 1 million. Although the 10 million box office movies in Hong Kong now have only been painted for a long time, and "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" starring Chen Long has reached such a height, but after all, the movie with a box office of 10 million has appeared in front of everyone, so Fang Yihua can count such an account in his heart.

And Li Mingbao happened to do what he liked and gave up a percent box office, Fang Yihua was naturally happy when he heard such a good thing, and when he felt that Li Mingbao was very eye-catching, he was even more interested in the gift that Li Mingbao said.

"Okay, then it's decided, the theater line here in Hong Kong will be four or six points, and Aunt Six will not take advantage of you in vain, the overseas trip of this film will be handled by our Shaw Brothers, and we will give you a share of June Fourth when the time comes. Now it's time to talk about your gift, right? Fang Yihua said with interest.

Hearing Fang Yihua say that he could get a ratio of six or four points on overseas trips, Li Mingbao's heart immediately became hot. Don't look at overseas travel, he just takes forty percent. But as the sixth aunt said, the Shaw Brothers really didn't take advantage of Li Mingbao.

Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, why did the three kingdoms stand in the early eighties? And other theaters can only drink soup in the corner? The first reason is naturally because these three cinema chains are strong in Hong Kong, each of which has at least more than a dozen cinemas, and in addition to these three cinema chains, the other so-called cinema chains are either very small cinemas and cannot reach the height of the main cinemas at all, or the number of cinemas is not enough to become a cinema chain at all.

Hong Kong is such a big place, and the total number of movie theaters is about 1120, and now in 80, there are less than 100. The three cinema chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess occupy more than half of all cinema chains in Hong Kong, and the main cinemas occupy the vast majority.

And the methods of these three big names are not only limited to Hong Kong, they also have their own cinemas or cooperative cinemas overseas. Why do Hong Kong films have such influence? If Hong Kong films can only be screened in Hong Kong, then how can others know that there are Hong Kong films in the world?

And to let overseas know Hong Kong movies, the ability of the theater chain is indispensable. Shaw Brothers' overseas trips include Shaw Brothers' own overseas cinemas and cooperative cinemas, mainly in the Chinese region of Southeast Asia, including Taiwan also has influence, Japan and South Korea also have partners.

Boss Zou of Golden Harvest also has a big heart, and his cooperation objects are more in Japan, Europe and the United States, why does Chen Long's kung fu film have such a height in Japan? Why was it able to break into the U.S. market? That's all because Boss Zou has cooperation with overseas theaters.

Relatively speaking, Princess Jin's ability to travel overseas is not so strong, but she still has some influence, especially in Taiwan, in the 80s, there were many films of Xinyicheng that became popular in Taiwan, which is the ability of Boss Lei of Princess Jin.

In addition to these three cinema chains in Hong Kong, other movie theaters do not have that ability, so Li Mingbao was also a little annoyed about the issue of overseas travel, because when Uncle Six gave support before, he did not put his support on overseas cinema chains. Now that Aunt Six is willing to make a statement, let alone six or four points, even if it is seven or three points, Li Mingbao has all the money, and the overseas box office is an unexpected gain, who would not be happy to ask for the money picked up for nothing?

The six aunts all made statements, and Li Mingbao naturally wanted to repay the favor: "Sixth aunt, what do you think of Zhong Chuhong and that little girl's appearance in the movie?" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Ah Hong's performance to be so exciting, she is worthy of being a brilliant character in Sister Hong Kong, and I regret not signing her now. And that little girl, it's also very good, Ah Leopard, you look for an actor's eye, it's very sharp! Fang Yihua nodded and said.

"Since you are so optimistic about Aunt Liu, I also brought them over today, you can sign them, you can get the praise of Aunt Liu, and they will be able to mix well in wireless in the future." Li Mingbao said with a smile on his face.
