Chapter 394: Sun Ziming's Green Hat
The next day, Sun Ziming returned to his long-lost office, looking at the box office statistics table, film budget table, shooting plan, script outline, and theater income statistics table on the office table, a little like a world away.
"God of Gamblers 2" has a box office of 53.18 million in Hong Kong, 9.739 billion yen in Japan, and a total box office of 1.12141 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, 41.96 million in Hong Kong, 112 million yen in Japan, and a total box office of 271.31 million in Asia, 38.14 million in Hong Kong and 3.3 billion yen in Japan, with a total box office of 622.41 million in Asia, and a total box office of 51.02 million in Hong Kong and 7.81 billion in Japan, and a total box office of 932.58 million in Asia.
In the first half of the year, the company's total profit was more than 1.2 billion. Now the company has more than 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars in its books and more than 100 million in its theater accounts, making it estimated to be the film company with the largest cash flow in Asia.
Originally, according to the company's regulations, after the movie was released, the box office would be distributed to the company. Now the longest time has dragged on for nearly half a year, and Sun Tzu knows that this is everyone's respect for himself. After dealing with these backlogged official documents, Sun Ziming asked Gao Ying to come in and clean up, "Ah Ying, do you want me to run on both sides of the public relations department, can you hold it?" ”
Gao Ying replied while cleaning up: "It's okay, the affairs of the public relations department are simple, and the small things are handled by Aya, so she won't come to ask me if she can't handle it." More jobs, more income, more people in the company and two jobs. ”
Sun Ziming smiled after hearing this, and said nothing more. Civilian employees like them will receive more salaries and bonuses if they do more work, and when the company goes public in the future, they will get more share options.
Gao Ying classified Wen Jiàn, walked outside and handed it to Sun Lei, returned to the office and closed the door, "Brother Ming, Asia TV let the Lin family buy it, and the announced price was 1.6 billion, but it is said that it is actually 1.8 billion." The Lin family approached me privately and wanted to transfer 10-15% of the shares to us, and the price was negotiable. ”
Sun Ziming shook his head, his company earns more than a billion a year, and its profitability is the best in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the Lin family probably wants to use their company's production ability to compete with TVB. , is that possible?
Sun Ziming looked for it in a bunch of box office statistics tables, and then asked: "Hey, what about the box office statistics of "Gunfire"?"
"Gunfire"? Gao Ying helped find it, but there was really none, so she reported orally: "At present, there are 6.72 million in Hong Kong, 21.93 million in Taiwan and Southeast Asia." What we didn't expect was that the Japanese side had reached about 4 billion, and the attendance rate was still more than 40%, and the final statistics have not yet come out. ”
Well? Sun Ziming's action of drinking tea stopped, and Gao Ying hurriedly explained: "This film is a bit strange, we have adjusted the screen, and now there are three theaters that continue to show it, and it still maintains a 41% attendance rate." Jing Ge said that this is a matter of the viewing level of movie fans, and the high level of audiences in Japan is even higher in the acceptance of this kind of movie. According to Miho Nakajima, who had just returned from Japan, the situation of "Gunfire" in Japan was completely different from that in Hong Kong, and it was not only applauded by the newspapers, but also by the audience. Ordinary fans compare "Gunfire" to Hong Kong's "Seven Samurai", and think of you as Akira Kurosawa among the Chinese. ”
Well, that's the reason, so "The Best Friend" can be recognized by the Chinese, and it will immediately be unaccustomed to the soil and water when it arrives in Japan, which is a difference in cultural habits and viewing levels. If you want to make a lot of money to make a movie, you still have to make a blockbuster, and only if you are exciting and novel enough can you break through cultural differences. Hollywood's invincibility in the world is due to its continuous innovation and its excellent system, which can attract a steady stream of film talents from all over the world.
Gao Ying also agrees with Sun Ziming's opinion, although Cheng Xiaodong's "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Hong Kong is not as good as Wang Fatzi's "Best Friend" at the box office, it has triggered a movie-watching boom in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia and other places, and made Li Jiaming popular in one fell swoop. Especially in South Korea, Zhang Guorong and Li Jiaming have become the idols of all Korean people, and the company has received interview invitations from TV stations there several times.
Sun Ziming's heart perked, he found out the situation report in South Korea, glanced at it hurriedly, and said excitedly: "I arranged for Rong Shao and Jiaming to go to South Korea for propaganda, South Korea's economy and population are more than Taiwan's, and their culture is similar to ours. As long as Koreans are willing to cooperate, we can help them make zuò films, and we can even set up a cooperation mechanism like Dongbo. ”
Gao Ying's eyes also flashed with excitement, South Koreans' film and television are now a few streets behind Hong Kong. If they take advantage of their weakness now and defeat their unfashionable film companies, Light and Shadow may dominate the Korean market. That is a country with more than 20 million people, and its economic strength and potential are stronger than Taiwan's!
Sun Ziming thought of the future 'Korean Wave' and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense, South Korea's development potential and prospects are definitely stronger than Taiwan's." As long as we can gain a foothold with them, even if we get a piece of the pie from them, the future benefits are unimaginable! ”
The question is how to bypass South Korea's film import quotas, this grandson has a way, go to South Korea to establish a subsidiary, and cooperate with local film companies to make films, "You go and check, South Korea must have laws and policies in this regard, and we will buy a small company in the local area that is easy to control." Well, you draft a thing about this, and everyone discusses it at the shareholders' meeting, and the money is used to make money, not to be put in the bank to see. ”
"Hey, I'll organize a survey of people from the PR department right away. Brother Ming, I think. ”
Gao Ying was about to apply to take someone to South Korea for a run, when there was a knock on the door outside. Gao Ying got up and opened the office door, and saw Yuan Mei standing there with a not very good face, so she hurriedly said hello and went out first.
Sun Tzu Ming saw that Yuan Mei's face was not good, and his heart began to tense, but don't let yourself guess correctly. Yuan Mei locked the door as soon as she entered, walked to the desk, took out a copy of the medical record from her bag, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, this is Li Jiaming's medical record, which was examined at St. Mary's Hospital the day after her father's funeral, when she was more than four months pregnant. ”
Pregnant? More than four months? Exercise! At that time, she would not be filming in Sichuan, or she would not accompany her sister in the United States! Sun Ziming only felt a fire burning in his chest, an uncontrollable anger! She turned her from a small dragon to a big star, helped her family move from a 60-square-meter house to a big mansion, and helped her arrange all her younger siblings, she actually betrayed herself and cuckolded herself?
The teacup on the table was smashed against the wall, shards and tea were splashed, and then the text on the table was swept to the ground......
After Sun Ziming, who had a hideous face, vented, he saw Yuan Mei's face pale with fright, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, sat on the chair and gasped, and said in a deep voice: "Who's?" ”
Yuan Mei's pale lips trembled a few times, and he said in a low voice: "The others haven't had time to check, I only asked the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story". They said that she had a good relationship with Rong Shao, and when filming in Sichuan, the two often discussed the script together. ”
Sun Ziming was so angry that he trembled, sat on a chair and touched the cigarette, trembling for a long time without lighting it, or Yuan Mei helped him light the fire. Yuan Mei stood aside and didn't dare to speak, and she wasn't sure if Li Jiaming and Rong Shao were cheating. In this circle, this kind of thing is so common that as long as no one says it, most of the spouses of the parties will laugh it off.
After smoking two cigarettes, Sun Ziming, who calmed down a little, ruled out the possibility of Rong Shao, took a piece of paper and wrote a phone number and pushed it over, "Ah Mei, you go to the United States for a trip and find someone to inquire, is Li Jiaming someone in the United States?" This is my friend's phone, call him for help. Rong Shao is impossible, Sister Hong will go to see him every week, and their relationship is in the best stage. Besides, Rong Shao has been in this circle for more than ten years, and he knows what women can't touch, and Li Jiaming is not beautiful enough to do that. ”
Yuan Mei took the note and put it in her bag, quickly cleaned up the things on the ground, found a cup again and made a cup of tea, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, I'll do it immediately." ”
"Go ahead, call Gao Ying in" Sun Ziming rubbed his face a few times, his heart was full of anger, and his face was still calm.
"Yes"
After a while, Gao Ying came in, Sun Ziming ordered the celebration banquet and dividends, and did not mention the Korean market, and left the company with Sun Lei, not even Uncle Zeng. The two went downstairs and got into the car, Sun Lei saw that Sun Ziming's face was not very good, and he didn't dare to ask anything, so he drove around with his head stuffy.
When he turned to Wan Chai Pier, Sun Ziming stopped the car, picked up the yacht key and got out of the car, "Go and pick up Juanzi, just say I'm waiting for her on the boat." ”
"Hey"
"Forget it, I want to be alone."
"Hey"
Sun Ziming got on the boat alone, drove the yacht to the south of Hong Kong Island, and anchored not far from Shek O Pier. After driving for two hours and blowing the sea breeze for two hours, the anger brought by Li Jiaming's betrayal slowly dissipated, and Sun Ziming gradually calmed down.
The child in Li Jiaming's belly must have nothing to do with him, and the time is not right at all. As for who the child's father was, Sun Ziming didn't want to know, he must have met her sister in New York.
The so-called 'young talent' like himself is still a figure in the pond of Hong Kong, but when he goes to New York, he is not so good. It's just that I'm a little cheap in the movie to be a little well-known in the United States, and if I talk about wealth, I may not be bullshit! 'China Ming's girlfriend, this aura may be useful for her to enter, New York's considerable social circle. Entering a high-end social circle, Li Jiaming is so young and beautiful, so he doesn't have to worry about no pursuers for her, Tom said that she has both the charm of the Oriental, and is very in line with the aesthetics of the Westerners.
Hehe, Li Jiaming is not stupid, he can't be Mrs. Sun for the rest of his life, at most he can make more money. Follow other young talents, but can be a young grandmother, and if you change it to yourself, you probably will choose it this way, right? New York, that's the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, as long as you catch some young people with backgrounds, what do you want to do in Hong Kong, go directly to Hollywood!
Forget it, let her go, she's not a good bird herself, and there are few people who steal? I made her popular and helped her, and she also spent nearly two years of her youth on herself, and everyone was even. Although Sun Ziming calmed down, he was still unhappy in his heart. If everyone's fate is broken, then it is better to distinguish everything clearly. Thinking of this, Sun Ziming picked up the satellite phone in the cab and informed Uncle Zeng to cancel the brokerage contract with Li Jiaming.
Uncle Zeng on the other side of the phone didn't ask why, so he smiled helplessly, called the assistant Miss Huang in, and told her to do what Sun Ziming ordered. This is Ziming's private matter, his private matter, he has always been unable to be the master himself, and only Hu Juan can be the master. It seems that Ajuan is starting to make trouble again, but I don't know why.
After Sun Ziming finished making the call, the tiredness of a sleepless night came up, and he went down to the cabin room and slept with his head covered until he was woken up by the phone.
