Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Thinking that this movie broke a new box office record and charged towards the box office of 20 million or 30 million, he, the director, was alone outside with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and drooling there, every time that picture appeared in Wang Jing's head, he couldn't help but want to cry.
At the beginning, Li Mingbao did not have the conditions to give Wang Jing a share, but Wang Jing disliked that the box office share of one percent was too low, in case this film was smashed, he would not get a penny of benefits, so he still wanted money, after all, although Li Mingbao made a movie that broke the box office record at that time, it was somewhat lucky. Wang Jing is honest and doesn't trust Li Mingbao very much.
Although 50,000 yuan is less, compared to the misery of not getting a penny for the film, 50,000 yuan is actually not bad. At least it's better than him working in vain, but by this time, Wang Jing has already regretted it.
Of course, 50,000 yuan is much more than the price he used to work as a screenwriter, but compared to the box office of "Baby Wisdom and Stars", it is completely insignificant! Although the final box office of this movie still needs to be counted, and even if Wang Jing gets a share, he can only get a share of the Hong Kong box office, and there is no share for him in the overseas market.
But even then, the one percent share is definitely not a small amount, and with the current situation of this movie, it is not difficult to break through the box office of 30 million at all.
The advertisements made by Li Mingbao were not spent in vain. Now in Hong Kong, it cannot be said that everyone knows the movie "Baby Wisdom and Stars", but as long as there are people with spending power, the vast majority of people will definitely know this movie. In this regard, the innate conditions of "Baby Zhiduoxing" are much better than those of "Happy Ghost".
"Baby Wisdom and Stars" is facing the audience, that is, there is no problem for any class, and this movie was originally for the whole family to watch together. But "Happy Ghost" is unlikely to attract so many people, at least the children won't like it too much, and the adults won't pay too much attention. In terms of subject matter, "Baby Zhi Duoxing" has a wider audience than "Happy Ghost", and with so many advertisements, it is completely hot before it is released. At the beginning, "Happy Ghost" only relied on word-of-mouth, and it was not until later that the press joined in the publicity. The most important thing is that during the summer vacation, the money in people's pockets is definitely not as full as their wallets at Christmas.
Comparing all aspects, it is easy to conclude that the box office of "Baby Smart Multi-Star" is higher than that of "Happy Ghost", and it is much higher. And What is the box office of "Happy Ghost"? Twenty-four million!
is much higher than the box office of 24 million, and the box office of 30 million is not too difficult at all, and by now there are actually some discerning reporters who have begun to predict whether the box office of the movie "Baby Zhiduoxing" will reach a height of 40 million.
With the prediction of the outside world, coupled with his own calculations, Wang Jingyue feels so pitiful, although the box office share of one percent is not considered the overseas box office, such a price code is honest, it is Li Mingbao bullying Wang Jing. In these years, directors generally get 5% of the box office, and even big directors can get 10%.
But the problem is that the current Wang Jing is really not worth the price, the movie "Baby Zhi Duoxing", from creativity to other things, is done by Li Mingbao himself, in order to make the movie more comedy, Li Mingbao asked Wang Jing to be the director.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Mingbao offer Wang Jing a high price? can give him a dividend of one percent, which is already for the sake of Wang Jing's future prospects. But Wang Jing himself was unwilling to take dividends, but went to get money, and Li Mingbao naturally would not kindly remind Wang Jing that there would be more money if he took dividends. Anyway, Wang Jing, a dead fat man, will not be short of money in the future, and the lack of money now is only temporary, plus after "Baby Zhiduoxing" becomes popular, Wang Jing will definitely have a lot of films to make, and when the time comes, as the director of "Baby Zhiduoxing", Wang Jing will not negotiate the price with other people, then he can't make money, he can only say that Wang Jing is stupid, and Li Mingbao can't blame it.
Wang Jing is not a character who likes to hold his breath in his stomach, at least not yet. Therefore, when the box office of "Baby Zhiduoxing" came out, Wang Jing made harassing phone calls to Li Mingbao every day, and didn't say anything else, just saying that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat tea and eggs.
Li Mingbao was quite annoyed at first about Wang Jing's harassing phone calls, but others persevered, and Li Mingbao had no choice, and finally said to Wang Jing that if the box office of "Baby Zhiduoxing" could exceed 40 million, then he would personally pay 2 million as dividends.
Of course, this dividend is not just for Wang Jing alone, but for all the people in the crew, including the leading actor and some behind-the-scenes, Li Mingbao will give red envelopes. Li Mingbao suddenly became generous, which is naturally a good thing for Wang Jing, two million dividends, as a director, he will definitely get no less than 200,000 in the end, and the proportion of one-tenth is not very high, but it is about the same. For Wang Jing, who has not yet made a lot of money, 200,000 yuan can already make him happily dance a striptease in front of Li Mingbao, as for whether Li Mingbao will like to watch it, Wang Jing will not consider such a thing for the time being.
He now spends more time praying for the box office of "Baby Zhiduoxing", and he can really cross the threshold of 40 million, so that he can get dividends.
Li Mingbao suddenly became generous, in fact, there is a reason. This reason is still due to Boss Zou. To say that Li Mingbao, who has not entered the film industry before, is actually quite generous, if you are not very generous and pick the door, the ghost will be willing to follow you.
So at that time, even if Li Mingbao had no money, he was very generous, he never kept the money in his hands, and when he had no money, he sometimes asked his brothers for help, anyway, Li Mingbao's face was quite thick at that time.
But later, because I got that memory and knew that there would be a big earthquake in Hong Kong's economy in the next two years, even if I made money, I consciously controlled my own costs. That's why Li Mingbao looked so picky when he was in the crew, the actors' salaries were very low, and the crew's expenses could be saved.
But later, when I saw that Boss Zou looked at Hollywood for Chen Long, and he didn't even bother to compete for the local market, and let Li Mingbao pick up a big bargain, Li Mingbao suddenly realized that he couldn't save two dollars by slamming the door like that.
In these years, there are more opportunities to make money, it can be said that there is gold everywhere, since he Li Mingbao has such a big golden finger, why should he limit his focus on making money to this small place in Hong Kong? In the North American market, it is a virgin land, and Li Mingbao, a person with so many advantages, goes in, and the degree of picking up money is definitely easier than making movies here in Hong Kong.
Just like Boss Zou's logic, if you also make movies, the money you make in Hong Kong can only be Hong Kong dollars, but Nima makes movies in the North American market, and what she earns is the green Franklin. For the same box office, the box office of 10 million in North America is 10 million US dollars, and the box office of 10 million in Hong Kong can only be Hong Kong dollars. The difference between 10 million US dollars and 10 million Hong Kong dollars is directly seven or eight times.
Li Mingbao is tired and tired in Hong Kong, even if he makes a wonderful movie, judging from the current prices in Hong Kong, he will not be able to get a box office of 70 or 80 million, which is equivalent to a myth. Even in the Hong Kong film industry more than ten years later, a box office of 40 or 50 million is a miracle, 70 or 80 million? You didn't wake up, did you? But now in the North American market, movies with a box office of 10 million simply abound. Star Wars, which was released three years ago, reached a box office height of nearly $800 million.
The figure of US$800 million is not too intuitive, if you look at the box office of Hong Kong movies, it is 6.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. The box office of just such a movie is basically equivalent to the total value of the current Hong Kong film industry, and it is impossible to make such a large sum of money if Uncle Liu, the uncrowned king in the Hong Kong film industry, is sold.
Boss Zou, as a person who thinks in this era, can want to go to Hollywood to make money, Li Mingbao, a person who has received the memory of a future tycoon and has a whiteness searcher, is still looking at a small market like Hong Kong, which is really a little ridiculous.
When Li Mingbao understood this, he felt ashamed of his previous door-slamming behavior. The salaries of those celebrities, even if Li Mingbao doubles them tenfold, for Li Mingbao's current net worth, it is actually only a little money. But for those celebrities, Li Mingbao's impression in their hearts is at least a hundred times better. If you cooperate in the future, you don't need Li Mingbao to open your mouth at all, you can call people over with one look.
But if his image of Grande is completely formed in front of everyone, even if Li Mingbao is rich in the future, it will probably be in everyone's eyes, that is, another sixth uncle, who can't be provoked, but I can hide, thinking that because of his little stinginess, it will bring about such strict consequences, Li Mingbao can't help but break out in a cold sweat. Coupled with the frequent harassment of Wang Fatzi recently, Li Mingbao felt that he should do something to improve everyone's senses about himself.
With such an idea, Li Mingbao will say that if the box office is 40 million, he will share 2 million in dividends. In fact, even if this movie does not reach the box office of 40 million, Li Mingbao will give Wang Jing and them dividends, not only Wang Jing will also share dividends, but even those actors who filmed "Happy Ghost" before, Li Mingbao will also share dividends, I just haven't seen Honggu for a long time, and I took the opportunity of dividends to see her.
