Chapter 749: Gone Crazy
"Ah Jin, you've been going to the hospital a little diligently these days." Zhong Chuhong looked at Han Jindao suspiciously.
In just a week or so, she went to three trips just what she knew, and she didn't know how much.
It's doubtful how often I go.
"yes." Han Jin nodded and admitted frankly, "I'm also for our play." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing him say this, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Now that the filming of our "Sword and Horse" has almost been completed, Qingxia's scene has not yet been filmed. If it were another actor, I could urge them to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. But Qingxia was injured because of me after all, and if I went to urge it, it would be too unreasonable. Han Jin explained, "So I can only run diligently, so that she is embarrassed to continue to stay in the hospital." ”
When Zhong Chuhong heard him say this, he couldn't help but sneer, "So that's the case, you're really bad enough." ”
"No treachery, no business." Han Jin also smiled and said, "But I'm sincere to you." ”
"Yes." When Zhong Chuhong heard him say this, he immediately nodded happily.
……
"Jin Shao, "Rich Train" has been released for two weeks, and now the box office has reached 28.62 million." Ji Guodong reported to Han Jin, "Now the attendance rate of the ten theaters of our Yongsheng Cinema Line is still 90%, and the attendance rate of the seven theaters of Xinyi City and Independent Cinema is still 80%, and in my opinion, we can earn at least another 10 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Yes, good job." Han Jin nodded, "How about Golden Harvest's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother"? ”
"The press release they sent to the newspaper was that the box office of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" reached 24 million Hong Kong dollars, but according to our investigation, their box office can be considered 20 million Hong Kong dollars." Ji Guodong reported, "And their release scale is too large, and the theater attendance rate is only five to sixty percent, and the potential is obviously not as deep as ours." ”
A week after the release, Yongsheng planned to gradually shrink the scale of the theater from the initial 45 theaters. It has shrunk to only sixteen now. In contrast, Golden Harvest has expanded from the previous 20 to 25, and the box office has also grown by leaps and bounds.
However, in the long run, the scale of the release is too large. There will be a phenomenon of "left hand hitting right hand". Especially after the movie has been released for a period of time and the attendance rate has begun to show a downward picture, it is only appropriate to shrink the scale of the release rather than expand it.
But obviously Zou Wenhuai can't care so much now, he is desperate, he knows that there is a cup of poisonous wine in front of him, and he will drink it first.
"Yes. Is Golden Harvest still engaged in that 'street ticket'? Han Jin asked again.
"Yes, Zou Wenhuai has tasted the sweetness, so naturally he will not give up easily." Yu Zheng said, "I heard that they are also planning to send Cheng Long to Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia to urge votes." ”
"Wow, that won't tire people to death?" Han Jin said in surprise.
Walking on the street under the face of the poison sun, you must always keep a smile on your face, shake hands with the people, sign autographs, and take photos, and you can't have an impatient expression on your face.
Walking like this for a day, it feels even more tiring than the Long March.
Even artists like Cheng Long, who were born as martial artists, can barely support it. Like Tan Yilin, Zhang Manyu, Laura. Fang Na and a few others only followed for two days before they all took sick leave and hid.
However, if the publicity in Hong Kong is finished, and you have to go to Taiwan, Japan, and Nanyang for a walk, it is estimated that even Cheng Long, who is known as the "iron man in the film industry", will have to strike.
"Pain and happiness. I heard that in order to retain Cheng Long, Golden Harvest promised to give him half of the box office of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". Cheng Long is now equivalent to working for himself, although he is a little tired, he is really profitable. Zhang Guozhong said.
"Half of the box office?!" Han Jin was taken aback.
He is also the most generous movie tycoon in Hong Kong, like Wang Jing, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, ; Liu Zhenwei and others, if they didn't charge director fees before, they would be able to get five percent of the box office dividends.
And now Golden Harvest actually gave Cheng Long half of the box office, in addition to costs, taxes, and publicity expenses. How much more money can Golden Harvest fall?!
"This becomes who works for whom?" Han Jin couldn't help but vomit.
He has no objection to celebrities getting paid a little more, especially a male star with box office appeal like Cheng Long, even if he gets a 10% box office dividend. Because his name alone can attract nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.
But half of the box office dividends are just too much. With such a high share ratio, Golden Harvest has almost no possibility of making money. In the long run, will Golden Harvest dare to invest heavily in movies? !
"There's no way, who made Golden Harvest have no available people now." Yu Zheng said, "So I can only hold on to Cheng Long, a life-saving straw." ”
"Whether it was the straw that saved his life, or the stone that pulled him to the bottom. It's hard to say right now. Han Jin waved his hand.
In his previous life, he saw the evil consequences caused by the high remuneration system of celebrities, the film industry was in decline, no one dared to invest in movies again, and there was only a group of veteran stars on the screen who were not confused......
Han Jin knew that a large part of the reason for the decline of Hong Kong films back then was the high salaries of celebrities.
In the early 90s, Cheng Long, who was popular all over Southeast Asia and entered Hollywood, was only paid 8 million Hong Kong dollars. But after '97, as soon as Hong Kong returned to the motherland and the mainland market opened up to Hong Kong films, actors' salaries immediately soared from several million to tens of millions.
The high remuneration of celebrities has caused Hong Kong film companies to dare not invest heavily in films, and Hong Kong's local films have also plummeted from 200 a year in their heyday to only 40 a year, and most of them are low-budget comedies. For example, the grand occasion when Golden Harvest invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot "Thunderbolt" in 95 years is gone forever.
Because of this, Han Jin used the method of "dividends instead of salary" to stop the emergence of this chaos.
Now this system is implemented very smoothly in Yongsheng, and big-name stars such as Zhong Chuhong, Liu Dehua, Zhou Yunfa, Wang Taoxian, etc., now donate their own remuneration to make films, and then take a percentage from the box office.
Because Han Jin never cheated at the box office and maliciously concealed the actual box office, everyone has established a long-term and strong trust. In addition, movies usually make a lot of money, so these stars are very profitable, more than the original salary, so they are also very supportive of this system.
Other film companies in Hong Kong are also imitating Yongsheng's system, but it is clear that Golden Harvest has gone a little crazy. (To be continued.) )xh118
