"Haha, Xichang, let's let Ah Long think about it, we just need to wait for Ah Long's good news!" Because there are outsiders, it is inconvenient for Zou Daheng to say more, so let Cheng Long go back and think about it first.

Seeing He Guanchang come out, Wang Jing didn't dare to be as unreasonable as Lei Weidong, so he hurriedly walked up and said, "Uncle Guanchang is good." ”

"Yes!" In response to Wang Jing's greeting, He Xichang nodded in response.

"Na Wenhuai, I'll take Ah Long down first, you can be busy with you"

"Well, that's it, Aaron, I'm always welcome here!" Zou Wenhuai responded and patted Cheng Long's shoulder.

"Then I'll thank Uncle Huai in advance!" Cheng Long replied with a smile, nodded to Wang Jing again, and walked towards the elevator after He Guanchang.

"Jing Tsai, is the movie ready...... " Watching Cheng Long and the two leave, Zou Wenhuai saw the two film boxes in Wang Jing's hand and asked.

"Hey, hey!" Wang Jing smiled and replied: "Uncle Huai, I have just finished making this one, so I will take this one for you to take a look at......"

"Why are you alone today, why didn't Zhang Aijia come over!" Seeing that Zhang Aijia did not come, Zou Wenhuai asked with some curiosity.

"Uncle Huai! Isn't "Crazy Robbery" about to be released! Zhang Aijia and Lei Shao have been busy with post-production for the past two days! Wang Jing replied with a smile.

"It's normal for Zhang Aijia to be busy with "Crazy Robbery"! Why does Lei Weidong have time to be busy with this aspect of things? You know, he should have a lot to do. ”

Zou Wen felt a little strange about Lei Weidong's recent stay in the crew of "Crazy Robbery".

Lei Weidong is a Hong Kong tycoon-level figure like himself, there are a lot of things to do every day, how can he have time to pay attention to the affairs of a crew, in Zou Wenhuai's opinion, Lei Weidong's recent behavior has been a bit upside down.

"It's easy! Because Lei Shao has been learning to shoot movies recently! ”

Wang Jing was not surprised by Zou Wenhuai's question, and was a little surprised when he knew what Lei Weidong did.

There are a lot of billionaires in Hong Kong who invest in movies, because as long as they can make money, everyone seems to be squeezing in to make a profit, but Lei Weidong can be said to be the first to shoot movies in person, that is, because Lei Weidong is a lonely man, there are no elders to take care of him, and he is very free.

Sure enough, the next moment after listening to Wang Jing's words, Zou Wenhuai's brows furrowed: "This Lei Weidong is a good tycoon who doesn't mix in the crew to shoot movies, what the hell is he doing?" ”

"Uncle Huai, it's very simple, Lei Shao is just curious, maybe the interest will pass after a while, how about you take a look at the movie I made first!" Seeing that Zou Wenhuai was a little distracted, Wang Fatzi hurriedly explained beside him.

"Haha! That's right, I almost forgot that he was only a teenager and still liked to play, and I guess making movies is a temporary interest! Go my two million screenwriters and go to the screening room" Zou Wenhuai laughed and took the lead in the front.

Wang Jing wrote a script for Jiahe when he just graduated, and the box office of the movie reached more than 2 million, so it is okay to be called a 2 million screenwriter by Zou Wenhuai.

Jiahe is worthy of being one of the top film companies in Hong Kong, and the screening room is like a small movie theater, with more than 50 seats alone, and all black leather seats, not to mention that even Shaw Brothers is a grade worse than a small company.

At the beginning of the movie, seeing Xie Xian and others, Zou Wenhuai glanced at Wang Jing strangely, this kid made a movie for Lei Weidong, and he also got Jiahe to be released, how to find it are all people from the Shaw Brothers, isn't he afraid that Shao Tycoon will give him small shoes to wear.

"Hehe, it's all friends helping, friends helping! I also made a cameo in the back," Wang Fatzi explained awkwardly.

.......

"Uncle Huai, how is the movie?"

Everyone returned to Zou Wenhuai's office, and after they were seated, Wang Jing hurriedly asked.

Zou Wenhuai sat in the boss's chair, with a large row of bookcases behind him, and the whole office looked more like a study.

"The plot is good, the shooting technique is not bad, I really can't see that Jing Tsai is your first time shooting a movie, and you deserve to be Tianlin's son." recalled the content of the movie just now, and Zou Wenhuai had to admit Wang Jing's directing level:

It seems that some people are born to eat movies, although Wang Jing is the first time to direct a movie, but his directing level is far beyond many directors now.

"Uncle Huai, what about the release time?" Hearing Zou Wenhuai's praise, Wang Jing couldn't wait to ask. After all, this film was his first film.

His right hand knocked on the desk, Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said, "I can give you the number of twenty releases, and as for the release time, it will be after "Crazy Robbery". ”

"Thank you, Uncle Huai?" Wang Jing was overjoyed, and at first he thought it was the eighteen that had been negotiated, but now it has risen to twenty.

The number of theaters screened will increase, and the corresponding box office will also increase a lot. As for the increase in the bottom fee, Wang Jing doesn't need to think about it, because these expenses are all paid by Lei Weidong, and he just needs the movie to have a good box office.

The reason why Hong Kong films fell into a low ebb in the 70s was that film companies changed careers one after another, and the economic downturn was one reason, but the high base fee was also a major reason.

An ordinary film company, labor, equipment, actors, scripts and venues all have to spend money, such a movie has to spend at least more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then get it to the theater to be released, and you have to pay a minimum fee of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, plus a publicity copy fee of more than 100,000 yuan, and it will go to 800,000 Hong Kong dollars at once.

In Hong Kong, the distribution of films is arranged by the cinema chain, that is to say, Jiahe is both a cinema chain and a distribution company, and the implementation is four or six accounts, that is, the film side is forty percent and the theater line is sixty percent.

In this way, a low-cost movie can only be considered flat if it gets at least two million films at the box office, and it is a loss if it is less than two million at the box office, but how many movies at this time have exceeded two million?

Of course, you can also say that there are overseas box offices, but there are several film companies in Hong Kong that have overseas distribution capabilities, and most of the films are bought out.

In parallel time and space, this phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Golden Princess Cinema Line.

The Golden Princess Cinema Line faced the encirclement and suppression of the two major cinema chains, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, and in order to survive, it had to abolish the theater package system, which reduced the pressure on the film merchants and improved the independence. The enthusiasm of the production company and the vitality of the operation.

The cancellation of the minimum fee has made the Golden Princess Cinema Line develop rapidly, and under the pressure of the Golden Princess, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers have also had to abolish the minimum fee. Give the profits to everyone. It is in this environment, coupled with the rise of the New Wave of directors, that Hong Kong cinema has entered its golden age.

Without the support of cinemas, even with the New Wave movement, there would not have been a golden decade of cinema.
