Chapter 191: The Final Box Office of the Gambling Saint
Although Li Le was not in a very good mood when the passenger ship was gone, he couldn't help but smile happily when he thought of what Fang Linna had whispered to him before leaving.
Although he was not able to return to the mainland with Wang Li and Fang Linna, Li Le's mood was very good. After all, in Fang Linna's place, Li Le was able to know that in Wang Li's heart, he had already forgiven himself.
On the passenger ship, looking at Wang Li, who had been looking at the pier, Fang Linna smiled and said, "Lily, it's useless to regret it now." You're going to turn back now, but there's no way around it. Why don't you wait to get off the boat, you just go back and surprise Li Le? ”
"Sister Fang, what are you talking about! I'm just a little reluctant to Hong Kong, after all, I've been here for a month. Wang Li's jade face flushed slightly, and she argued for herself.
Wang Li was told by Fang Linna, but she didn't want to admit it.
Listening to Wang Li's rebuttal, Fang Linna didn't debunk it, and looked at the smile on Wang Li's face even stronger. She also glanced at the dock behind her, and she also saw Li Le's figure on the dock looking from afar.
Li Le didn't stay where he was for long, and when the passenger ship was out of sight, he also left the dock.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Seeing Li Le sitting back in the car, Zhao Zheng also asked.
Where to go? Li Le really thought about it seriously. Li Le also knew that for Wang Li, he also let go of a lot of affairs and didn't pay attention to it. "Go to Oriental Entertainment." After thinking about it, Li Le opened his mouth and said. in Hong Kong. Only Oriental Entertainment is a suitable place for Li Le to show up.
"Okay." Zhao Zheng responded.
"It's time to get all the things sorted out quickly, and it's time for me to go back." Li Le also said to himself in his heart.
Wang Li left, and Li Le himself felt a little empty. In addition, Li Le had already made arrangements for important things, and he also felt that it was time to dare to go home. "After the premiere of "Those Years", I'll go back too!" In his heart, Li Le also set his own return time.
When Li Le arrived at Oriental Entertainment, Wang Jing and Chen Baixiang soon found Li Le. Looking at Li Le, who had not shown up for a long time, Wang Jing smiled and said, "Li Le, you have put everything down." You're alright, Al Lak and I have been too busy for the company to have no news lately. ”
Li Le listened to Wang Jing's words. But he looked at Chen Baixiang and said, "Ah Lak." It's really hard for you. ”
Chen Baixiang smiled and said, "This is what I should do." Chen Baixiang found Li Le for the first time, but he didn't come to complain to Li Le. It's just that Li Le didn't show up for a long time, so he just came over to take a look.
"Li Le. What's not to thank me for? Know the way. I've been doing my best lately. Wang Jing said with a smile. His face was also dissatisfied.
"That's what you're supposed to do." Li Le scolded with a smile. After a pause, Li Le asked, "Have you finished editing "Those Years"?" It's time to make a film! ”
"Of course, it's just your voiceover." Wang Jing said with a smile. However, the smile on Wang Jing's face quickly retracted. said: "Li Le, I heard that you took Lily to the editing room, and ......"
Li Le interrupted Wang Jing with a wave of his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's all over." Seeing Li Le interrupting, Wang Jing didn't talk much this time. The dubbing thing, I'll just find a time to finish it, and I don't have many lines. After a pause, Li Le said again: "Is there anything going on in the company recently?" ”
Hearing Li Le's question, Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's the production and release arrangement of "Those Years". There is also Ah Jing, we set up a shooting project for him without your consent. ”
Li Le nodded and said: "The matter of "Those Years" is the first thing, the fat man who bets on the overlord wants to shoot, and he will start it when the funds are available!" ”
"Of course I did it, but I'm very good at it."
It's just that Li Le and Chen Baixiang didn't pay attention to Wang Jing's pride.
"Li Le, what specific arrangements do you think of "Those Years"? To follow the later release of Fuxing Gaozhao, which theater do you think we should be released in? "Chen Baixiang is the president of Oriental Entertainment, and he can't think about these things.
Wang Jing also smiled and said: "Li Le, you don't know that Lu Dao is now lively outside." Siping Investment, which had just been established, acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas from Uncle Six, and even acquired many small cinema chains, and together formed the Xiangjiang Cinema Line. Today's Heung Kong Cinema Line is the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong. ”
"What's the situation with the Xiangjiang Cinema Line now?" Because of his own affairs, Li Le of Xiangjiang Cinema Line is knowledgeable, but he himself is not so clear about the specific situation.
"As soon as they reorganized, they vigorously rebuilt it, and now it is almost officially open. By the way, Li Le revealed from Uncle Shao Liu that 3% of the shares of Oriental Entertainment were also acquired by Siping Investment. But since then, I haven't seen Siping Investment contact us, what do you say we should do? Chen Baixiang also expressed his worries.
"3% of the shares were acquired, maybe to show favor to us!" Li Le smiled, he hadn't revealed that he was the boss behind the scenes. "Xiangjiang Cinema Line has such good cinema resources, Ah Lak, you can find a chance to talk to them and see how to make "Those Years" be released in Xiangjiang Cinema. I think the other party will not refuse. ”
After listening to Li Le's words, Chen Baixiang and Wang Jingjing were a little confused. They didn't know what Li Le was defenseless but wanted to support the Xiangjiang Cinema Line, but Li Le was the big boss, and the two didn't say much.
"I'll contact you right away about this, I think Xiangjiang Cinemas has welcomed "Those Years" to be released in their theaters." Chen Baixiang said with a smile. Li Le didn't worry about anything, and Chen Baixiang didn't think about it anymore. In Chen Baixiang's view, as long as Oriental Entertainment can develop well, there will be no other problems. The ownership of Oriental Entertainment is the issue that Li Le should be most concerned about.
"Anything else?" Li Le asked.
Chen Baixiang patted his head and said, "I forgot the most important point, the gambling saint is also down in other places." We have also collected the total box office of the gambling saints in Asia. It's just that you told us not to bother you before, so I didn't tell you the news. ”
Li Le took a look at the date and found that more than 20 days had passed since the release of the gambling saint outside Hong Kong. According to the lifespan of the gambling saint, it is indeed time to go down.
Li Le, who didn't know so much news, also asked: "How many box office results has the gambling saint gotten so far?" ”
Wang Jing said with a smile: "I think, it is difficult for a movie to surpass the results of the gambling saint." ”
Chen Baixiang didn't play dumb riddles, and said with a smile: "The total box office results of the gambling saint now are a total of 212 million Hong Kong dollars. Ah Jing is right, it is difficult for Hong Kong movies to have a movie that surpasses the gambling saint. ”
Listening to Chen Baixiang talk about the final box office results of the gambling saint, Li Le also took a deep breath, "Okay." "The total box office of the gambling saint is good, and it is better for Li Le.
"It's just a pity that the gambling saint can't be released in the mainland now. If it joins the mainland film market, the total score of the gambling saint will be close to 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Chen Baixiang said with a pitiful tone.
On the side, Wang Jing also sighed. Wang Jing is also very sorry that the gambling saint cannot enter the mainland. You must know that good results in gambling are also of great benefit to Wang Jing. Now outside, because of the total box office of the gambling saint, Wang Jing also has an extra layer of aura on his body. "100 million yuan director", the good results of gambling saints, make Wang Jing very popular in the director industry.
The gambling saint is co-directed by Li Le and Wang Jing, although many people outside attribute the credit for the gambling saint to Li Le and the starring Zhou Xingchi. But for Wang Jing, there are also a lot of benefits. At the very least, there are many people who want to invest in Wang Jing's films.
"Mainland? Let's put it aside for now! Anyway, it's not just the gambling saints, many movies can't appear in the mainland. Everyone is the same, and there is nothing particularly sorry for it. I believe that there will be a chance for gambling saints to appear in the mainland. Li Le said with a smile.
"You can see it," Chen Baixiang smiled, paused for a moment and said, "Recently, we have also contacted Europe and the United States. Because of the good results of the gambling saint in Asia, there are also people in Europe and the United States who want to introduce the gambling saint to the past. ”
"Oh?" Chen Baixiang mentioned the possibility of the gambling saint being released in Europe and the United States, but Li Le thought it was a very good news. What Li Le thought before was to culturally invade Europe and the United States. Bringing Chinese films to Europe and the United States is also a very important decision for Li Le.
"There are people who are willing to take away the gambling saints, but they all want to buy them out, and they don't give us a share at all. It's hard for me to decide on this, so let's see what you think. Chen Baixiang also said the difficulty. By the way, the one with the best conditions is hoping to buy out the release rights of the gambling saint in Europe and the United States for 5 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"5 million Hong Kong dollars, not even 1 million US dollars, it's really stingy enough." Li Le said with a smile. In Li Le's heart, he was very dissatisfied with such a buyout price. After thinking about it, Li Le said: "I have no objection to buying out the gambling saint, but if the unit of currency is changed to US dollars, it seems that it is about the same." ”
On the gambling saint, Li Le feels that there is no cultural value. When the gambling saint was going to shoot, Li Le just wanted to make a lot of money. 5 million US dollars, that is, 30 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, 30 million yuan, such a price Li Le thinks is good.
Li Le himself estimated the share he might get now, and his vision was also high. The gambling saint now has a total box office of 212 million, and Li Le's share income is very high.
"You cow." Wang Jing listened to Li Le's words and gave Li Le a thumbs up.
Li Le is indeed very good, and many Hong Kong movies are willing to pay money in order to have a chance to be released in Europe and the United States. Looking at Li Le, he directly proposed a high buyout price, which was directly raised by 6 times. In Wang Jing's heart, he really admired Li Le's thoughts. (To be continued......)
