On June 20, after a whole month of films, "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" finally came to an end, because of the increase in movie ticket prices, the cumulative box office of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" was 62.17 million, once again breaking the Hong Kong box office record.

More than 60 million Hong Kong dollars, such a sky-high box office, it is difficult not to attract attention, local businessmen flock to it, Taiwanese wealthy businessmen are even more crazy, and films that follow the trend emerge in endlessly, and film dealers compete to invite Cheng Long, Guan Zhilin, Tan Yonglin and others to star in the film.

On June 21, United Cinemas released "A Chinese Ghost Story", because of the good reputation of the previous film, the box office exceeded 2 million on the first day.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was a big hit, and Chen Baixiang, the manager of Oriental Cinemas, handed over the counted attendance rate to Wang Zichuan, and ordinary habits gradually became the rule.

"Now actors' salaries are getting higher and higher!" Wang Jin said coldly.

Wang Zichuan looked up unexpectedly and asked, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Wang Jin smiled: "Just sigh with emotion, Ah Chuan, I have already written the script of "God of Gamblers" that you asked me to prepare, but now Ah Fa's salary is not cheap." ”

"Zhou Yanfa's salary has risen again?" Wang Zichuan didn't notice this, because Zhou Runfa is a person from Tengfei Entertainment, and the salary is at a preferential price, and Zhou Runfa's salary for acting in "God of Gamblers" is only 800,000.

Wang Jin smiled bitterly: "Ah Fa's salary has now risen to 4 million!" ”

Chen Baixiang was surprised: "How can it be so high?" The cost of a medium-sized film is only 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and Zhou Yanfa's salary catches up with the cost of film production? ”

"yes!" Wang Jin said worriedly: "Not only is Ah Fa's salary soaring, but so is Cheng Long's big nose, the price has been speculated to 5.5 million outside, and his salary last year was only 1.5 million, and it was even lower when he starred in "Lucky Stars", so it goes on." What else do we have to gain. ”

Chen Baixiang thought so, turned his eyes to Wang Zichuan, and persuaded: "Ah Chuan, you have to think of a way!" If the company's artists' salaries are out of control, we can't afford to hire our own artists to film, last year's 10 million cost zuò movie "The True Color of Heroes", everyone knows that it can be promoted before it is turned on, and now 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I'm afraid even the actor's salary is not enough. ”

"Hehe......" Wang Zichuan suddenly laughed and said: "I'm afraid that Hong Kong filmmakers hate us now!" ”

"You're still laughing!" Wang Jin looked at Wang Zichuan with a smile. The salaries of these actors are soaring, and the initiator is indeed Tengfei Entertainment, there is no doubt that a high box office means a high salary, why do actors want the films they starred in to be blockbusters? Because after the blockbuster, the salary will rise, Cheng Long, Zhou Yanfa, Hong Jinbao and others are all figures who have broken the discipline of the Hong Kong box office.

Wang Zichuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't help it, Zhou Yanfa and Cheng Long's salaries are not opened by me, they are determined by the market, and businessmen are willing to spend so much money." What can I do? Besides, the higher Ah Fa's salary, the more we earn. ”

Wang Jin said depressedly: "But what about my "God of Gamblers"? The budget is only 7 million, and Ah Fa's salary alone accounts for half, plus Liang Jiahui 1 million. The real available funds are less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

Wang Zichuan said: "I know that you are a dead fat man who is here to ask for money, you go to the finance office to get 2 million, now the company's funds are tight, you save money." ”

"No problem!" Wang Jin nodded contentedly. He thought that he could only get 1 million, but he didn't expect it to be doubled, and this money was enough to make "God of Gamblers 2". In the film, except for Zhou Yunfa and Liang Jiahui, they are all newcomers.

Wang Zichuan advised: "Don't forget that the heroine in the film, the sexy girl, asked Qiu Shuzhen to play." ”

Wang Jin nodded with a smile: "Even if you don't say it, I will also find Miss Qiu, when I write the script, I will use her as the prototype to create." ”

Wang Zichuan smiled: "Miss Qiu is a little pepper, don't beat her idea." ”

"How dare I do that!" Wang Jin muttered quietly, now who in the company doesn't know that Qiu Shuzhen is covered by Wang Zichuan, and the big-name Zhou Runfa has to smile when he sees her.

Wang Zichuan said: "I remember that there is also a female character in the film. ”

"Yes!" Wang Jinyan nodded and said tentatively: "Ah Chuan, you won't have another candidate, right?" ”

Wang Zichuan plucked his ears, pretended not to hear Wang Jin's complaints, and said, "The company's artist Yin Panpan is good, Ah Jin, what do you think?" ”

Wang Jin was full of black lines, and said unwillingly: "Is Yin Panpan too glamorous, a bit of a gun limelight, after all, Qiu Shuzhen is still a newcomer, whether it is popularity or acting skills, she is not as good as Miss Yin Panpan, I am worried that this will be bad for Miss Qiu." ”

"I still believe in Ah Zhen!" Wang Zichuan decided that he must not let women be idle, especially a sentimental girl like Yin Panpan, every time Wang Zichuan sees her, he feels that the other party is much stranger, and he is transforming from a young girl to a mature young woman, and women in this period love to be cranky.

Wang Jin nodded involuntarily, very depressed, most of the heroines of the films he made were Wang Zichuan's women, whether they wanted to touch or not, they had to be careful when they spoke, and they had to beware of others beating their ideas, it was like serving the little ancestor.

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "With the first "God of Gamblers" as an example, the second part will definitely be good at the box office. ”

"Of course!" Wang Jin raised his head arrogantly, no matter how he says now, he is also a well-known director, and the salary outside has been speculated to 2 million, which means that he can write a script casually and get it outside, and he can get investment, and it is also the kind of dividend payout.

Chen Baixiang asked: "I heard that the company produces a gambling film, what is the name of "Gambling Saint", which is the 'Zhou Xingchi Incident' that the company caused a stir last time, when is this film going to be released?" ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Is there still a schedule for the theater line?" ”

Chen Baixiang replied simply: "Not recently!" ”

"What does that mean?" Wang Zichuan looked at each other depressedly, he also knew that the theater was very tight, and after "A Chinese Ghost Story" was drawn, "Summer Lucky Star" would be released next, and finally "Police Story".

Chen Baixiang explained: "When I came, I calculated that the schedule of "The Saint of Gambling" can be arranged in August! ”

Wang Jin couldn't be more familiar with the schedule of the film, and subconsciously asked: "In August, is that not the schedule of "Police Story"?" This is a film that Cheng Long has high hopes for, how could it let us release "The Saint of Gambling"? ”

Chen Baixiang sneered: "Why should we ask for his consent, although "Police Story" has half of our income, but the production of the film is completely responsible for Golden Harvest, if this film really breaks the record of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", wouldn't it make Golden Harvest soar its ambition!" ”

Wang Jin smiled evilly: "Ah Lak, it turns out that you want to calculate Jiahe, but this idea is good, our honeymoon period with Jiahe is this summer file, and it can be cheaper to turn your face early." ”

Chen Baixiang asked, "Ah Chuan, what do you think?" ”

"It's all for the sake of the company, of course I have no opinion!" Wang Zichuan had a fun time and said: "I also want to see if "The Saint of Gambling" is high at the box office, or "Police Story" has a high box office. ”

Wang Jindao: "I haven't watched the two films, but I know a little bit about Cheng Long, I have been hospitalized five times in order to shoot "Police Story", and the crew is full of reporters, and we have lost a lot in publicity. ”

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "No matter if you win or lose, as long as the box office of "Police Story" is less than 50 million, we will win half of it, and Golden Harvest will not be able to turn over." ”

Wang Jin smiled: "You're okay, right?" Cheng Long has a good relationship with you, is he okay with such calculations? ”

"It's not once or twice that he counts!" Wang Zichuan crossed his fingers awkwardly, unconsciously, he had become so 'bad', he used to like Cheng Long very much, and when he saw Cheng Long himself for the first time, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

Chen Baixiang said proudly: "Then I'll go back and prepare, "Police Story" can only be released in Oriental Theaters for ten days, and ten days later, we will screen "The Saint of Gambling" in a row." ”

Wang Zichuan pondered for a moment and ordered: "You discuss with Jiahe's side to minimize the release time of "Summer Lucky Star". ”

Chen Baixiang said: "Then what should the other party do if they want to reduce the release time of "A Chinese Ghost Story"? ”

"Promise them!" Wang Zichuan nodded without hesitation and added: "It's best to give them an illusion, and the saved schedule is used to release "Police Story". ”

Wang Jin's eyes widened and exclaimed: "Ah Chuan, you are rushing for the schedule of "The Saint of Gambling"!" You won't be so biased because you made your own film, when "God of Gamblers" was released last year, I said that you wouldn't be able to break your mouth. ”

Wang Zichuan said angrily: "At that time, how can it be compared with now, "Lucky Stars" is our investment in Tengfei Entertainment, and the more we will earn if it is released for one more day, now "Police Story" and "Summer Lucky Star" are all made by Jiahe, of course I will think about Tengfei Entertainment." ”

Chen Baixiang ignored Wang Jin's gaze for help and asked: "Ah Chuan, "The Saint of Gambling" will be released on August 10, so that there will be a 20-day schedule, is it enough?" ”

"The more the merrier!" Wang Zichuan thought for a moment and said stubbornly: "In any case, "The Saint of Gambling" will be released in Oriental theaters for a month, and the schedule will be on August 10, so it will be painted on September 10." ”

"Oh!" Chen Baixiang agreed, and said secretly, it seems that Ah Chuan does not attach importance to this film in general.

Wang Jin said enviously: "What about the sequel to "God of Gamblers" I filmed? Is it possible to release it for a month? ”

Wang Zichuan looked down at Wen Jiàn, and said in his mouth: "Don't look at me, the theater manager is next to you." ”

Wang Jin was overjoyed and looked at Chen Baixiang with a blank eye.

Chen Baixiang said helplessly: "I'll try my best." ”

Wang Jin said: "It's best to arrange it for Christmas!" ”

Chen Baixiang laughed at himself: "Got it! (To be continued......)
