Chapter 575: Creating Order (Subscription Requested)
Han Jin's return to Hong Kong did not alarm anyone, all the backup dancers had already returned in advance, this time only him, Guan Zhilin, and Zeta Jones. ↖ ↖ The top ↖ point ↖ of the joke was simple and silent, and it was only when passing through the customs that the staff was surprised.
After leaving the airport, Han Jin first arranged for Guan Zhilin and Zeta Jones to get in the car and leave first.
"I'm going to go back to the office first, and you two will go home first." Han Jin patted the roof of the car and said.
"Then you won't come back at night, I'll hand steam the most delicious barbecued pork buns for you to eat!" Guan Zhilin poked her head out and asked.
"Let's take a look first." Han Jin didn't agree to her right away, because he had other women to meet.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you at home." Guan Zhilin said reluctantly, and then left in the car.
"What a haunting goblin." Han Jin smiled, then got into the car and drove all the way to the company.
Hong Kong media and Hong Kong fans didn't know that he was coming back today, but Wang Jing and others knew, so they were already waiting in the company early in the morning.
"Brother Jing, YT, Director Liu, Director Guan, Director Wu...... Long time no see. As soon as Han Jin entered the conference room, he greeted with a smile.
When they saw him come in, everyone immediately stood up, "It's better to have less strength!" The words of the crowd were quite a bit of the flavor of Lao Jiang's convening of the generals' lectures.
"Sit, sit, sit, don't be so restrained!" Han Jin said with a smile, and then sat in his seat.
"Ah Jin, congratulations. I heard that the concert was very successful, which is really enviable! Wang Jing said with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that they originally planned to hold a European tour for you, going to France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and other countries to hold concerts, but you refused by Jin Shao, right?" Yu Zheng also asked with a smile.
Han Jin nodded, "Yes, originally live-nation planned to open another twenty more shows. The remuneration for each concert is £1.5 million. But I refused. ”
"Goo-dong!" Hearing him say this lightly, everyone present couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva loudly.
Twenty concerts, each with a remuneration of 1.5 million pounds, a total of 30 million pounds, about 42 million US dollars, or 320 million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars. Even if the taxes are removed. can also have about 200 million Hong Kong dollars left.
With such a large sum of money, it is unimaginable that Han Jin actually said that he would push it.
"Ah Jin, if you have money to make, why don't you make it?" Wang Jing asked suspiciously.
When everyone heard him ask, they all looked over curiously.
200 million Hong Kong dollars, if it were them, as long as they didn't die, they would be willing to earn this money even if they were disabled. I really don't understand why Han Jin refused.
"Who made the British food so unpalatable. Eating potato chips and fried fish spoiled my appetite. Han Jin waved his hand and said.
"......" Everyone looked at him speechlessly, just because of this, 200 million Hong Kong dollars are not wanted? !
Everyone can't help but feel that this reason is extremely absurd and completely unacceptable.
However, in Han Jin's opinion, this reason is enough. With his current net worth, he doesn't have to care about the 200 million Hong Kong dollars. He didn't want to be wronged in England anymore, so he ate those dark dishes, so he naturally flew back. No big deal.
"Alright, don't talk about me. How are you doing in Hong Kong? Han Jin asked with a smile, "Forgive me for being too busy over there and not even calling back." ”
When he was in England, Guan Zhilin and Zeta-Jones pestered him every day, making him sing and enjoy it every night. Trapped in the gentle countryside and unable to extricate himself, so there is no chance to call back a call.
Wang Jing smiled, "The first good thing is that Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng have officially signed an alliance with us, and now our three cinema chains have been united." It is agreed that the theater manager and the theater manager will meet every week to watch the latest films. Then agree on the number of theaters in which the film will be released based on everyone's opinions. ”
"Oh, that's good." Han Jin nodded and said, in this way, good films are not afraid of not being released without a schedule, "But what about niche literary films, if everyone is not optimistic about literary films and is unwilling to screen them if they feel that they can't make money, what should they do?" ”
"There is a minimum amount limit, if you encounter a literary film that no one is showing, unless it is because the quality is too low, at least six theaters are guaranteed to be released. Two cinemas were set up in each of the three cinema chains, which were used for the screening of literary films. Wang Jing explained.
Han Jin nodded, "Is there a maximum amount limit?" ”
"That's right, the maximum amount agreed is twenty-five, and the lottery will determine which theaters will be responsible for the release." Wang Jing said.
Like those popular films, every theater actually wants to show them, because it is related to the performance of the theater and its own dividends. But if everyone grabs it, the number of theaters released is too large, and it is easy to play right hands left and right, and self-competition will appear. Therefore, it is imperative to set a maximum number of theaters.
Han Jin heard Wang Jing say that the lottery method was used to decide which theater was responsible for the release, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded, feeling that this method was the most fair and reasonable.
"Yes, okay." Han Jin nodded and said, "Is there any restriction on the phenomenon of following the trend of filming, malicious competition, and repetition of themes?" ”
"Yes, the three-tier alliance agreed that the three of us would become the arbiters of the Hong Kong film industry, and give strong rectification to the scene of following the trend. In the future, within three months of the release of popular films, films with the same theme are not allowed to be released. Wang Jing said.
A well-made film, from the script to the project, from the selection to the shooting, from the completion to the release, it will take at least three months.
A film that was shot in only two months or a month will inevitably be suspected of following the trend, and it is difficult to compliment the quality of the film in such a short time.
Therefore, the third-tier alliance agreed that within three months of the release of the best-selling film, no films of the same type and theme are allowed to be released. For example, the previous hit "Mr. Zombie", this movie has not yet been painted, and zombie films made by other companies have already been released. At that time, the craze set off by "Mr. Zombie" had not subsided, and the shoddy zombie film also took advantage of the east wind and made a lot of money.
But now that there is a third-tier alliance, the film can't be released immediately after it is filmed, and it will take another three months to do so. And at that time, whether this kind of zombie movie craze was still there. I don't know. As a result, these studios will think about the consequences before they snap the film.
In this way, the phenomenon of malicious follow-up will naturally be reduced, and sincere film companies can also make good use of this theme and make more good-looking zombie movies.
"We also made an agreement on the phenomenon of repetition of themes. Films with the same subject matter will not premiere at the same time during the same week. Wang Jing said, "This can avoid vicious competition, and it can also avoid the repetition of the subject matter, so that the audience does not know which movie to watch." ”
"Good!" Han Jin nodded, this arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
Because Hong Kong films pursue the supremacy of profits, films with popular themes have always liked to be released together.
After Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" became popular, many movies named after "heroes" were released that year, including "Heroes and Heroes", "Heroes Without Tears", and "The True Story of Heroes". As for the gunfight theme and the black X club theme movies, there are countless movies.
With so many gunfight gangster films being released in a centralized manner, audiences quickly got tired of the subject. Four years later. Wu Yusen's "Bloody Street" was released, although it was a big production, although the script was very good, and although the actors were also very hard-working, but because there were too many movies of this type, the audience vomited, so the box office was only a pitiful 8 million Hong Kong dollars. is only one-fifth of "The True Color of Heroes", which makes Wu Yusen feel disappointed.
In fact, if this shootout theme is well managed. Even if it is photographed in the new century, it will not be outdated at all. It's a pity that Hong Kong film companies are eager for quick success and quick profit, making such a good theme. It fell into a situation where no one dared to shoot.
Now, after the establishment of the third-line alliance, it has not only put an end to the problem of following the trend of making films, but also put an end to the problems of films of the same type being released at the same time, the problem of repetition of themes and malicious competition, so as to ensure the healthy and orderly development of Hong Kong films.
"The negotiation didn't go well, did anyone make trouble?" Han Jin asked with a smile again.
At the time of the first negotiation. Because many unscrupulous filmmakers were worried about the damage to their interests, they sent threatening letters and blood letters to Yongsheng, which scared Sister Mei a lot at that time, and specially arranged bodyguards with guns for Han Jin. Close-fitting to keep him safe.
I believe that the resumption of negotiations this time will face many dangers.
"No, we didn't announce it to the outside world until we signed it." Wang Jing said, "Even if they knew, it would be too late, and they wouldn't be able to do anything at all." ”
Han Jin nodded, knowing that the Hong Kong police have been quite effective in recent years, and they have done a very good job in sweeping away gangsters and eliminating evil. If the black X will dare to disobey the rules and act recklessly, it will not be able to escape punishment either.
Besides, Jiahe, Yongsheng, and Xinyicheng, which of these three companies is vegetarian, and when the time comes, they may not be afraid of these gangsters.
You must know that in the early years, when Jiahe and Shaw Brothers were filming outside, they would never pay protection money to the Black X Club. Because these two companies have many dragon and tiger martial artists, they dare to fight, and they all know kung fu, and they really want to fight, and they are not afraid of those black X clubs.
"Well, but you still have to be careful, and call the police if someone makes trouble. We pay so many taxes every year, and the police should do something for us too. Han Jin said.
The Hong Kong government now collects up to 10 million Hong Kong dollars in taxes every year from Yongsheng alone. If something happens to them and they don't do anything, then Han Jin will stink them in the media. With his current status and status, even the Governor of Hong Kong has to give three points of thin face.
"By the way, how are your movies doing?" Han Jin asked again.
"My 'True Colors of Heroes' is almost finished, and only the last children's chorus is left. When will Jin Shao give me the song? Wu Yusen asked with a smile.
There is a section in "The True Color of Heroes" that is a children's chorus, Han Jin originally said that he wanted to help write the song, but after such a long time, he has not seen the shadow of the song, and he can't help but ask very worriedly.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll write to you as soon as I get back." Han Jin said with a smile, if Wu Yusen didn't remind him of this matter, he would have to forget about it.
"My "Ghost Mission" is only halfway through filming now, and it is estimated that it will take another month to complete the shooting." Liu Zhenwei also said.
Han Jin nodded, that movie was only filmed before he went to the UK, and now it can be filmed halfway, and the speed is already very fast.
"The filming of my "Magic Jade" in Hong Kong is almost finished, and I plan to take the crew to Egypt to shoot the location in a few days." Wang Jing also said.
Han Jin nodded, knowing that Wang Jing had always been a fast knife player, and he had tried to make a film within seven days. Now it only took a month to finish filming the Hong Kong scene, and in his opinion, it is estimated that it is already slow.
"I'm only halfway through my 'Xi Bao' now." Guan Jinpeng also said, "Honggu's performance is very good, I think in another month and a half, it should be finished." ”
When Han Jin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhong Chuhong, he hadn't heard this name for a month.
Originally, he thought that he had forgotten her, but now that Guan Jinpeng mentioned it, Zhong Chuhong's shadow immediately appeared in his mind, and Han Jin knew that what he thought before was just self-deception. (To be continued......)
