Text Chapter 190, make a fortune
In the end, Lei Weidong bought the four theaters and land in Lei Juekun's hands at a price of 12 million.
This price is definitely a big profit for Lei Weidong, you must know that in the past two years, Hong Kong's economy has continued to recover, land prices have continued to rise, and these four theaters including land even if they look at the current market, to say the least, it will cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The reason why the price is so low is because Lei Juekun has not yet given birth to the idea of entering the film market, so Lei Weidong can win these four theaters at a relatively low price.
Needless to say, the second reason is that in Lei Juekun's eyes, these four theaters were not sold to Lei Weidong at all, but they were only leased to Lei Weidong, and they would return to him in three or four years at most.
According to the current market, these four theaters, even if they are all luxury leading theaters, let alone 12 million in four years, even the rent of 4 million is a bit expensive, if it is not for Lei Weidong's request, Lei Juekun will also charge a few million.
Because the price was too low, four years later, Lei Juekun almost committed suicide with regret, but unfortunately Lei Weidong's career was already in full swing at that time, even if he was unwilling, Lei Juekun could only swallow the bitter fruit, break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Fortunately, Lei Juekun died relatively early, in the late 80s, if he lived to the 21st century and saw the value of those four theaters rise to billions, it is very likely that he would jump from the top of the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong.
Just like Roy Raymond, the founder of Victoria's Secret underwear, he suffered from depression because he regretted selling Victoria's Secret, a hen that can only lay golden eggs, at a low price.
One day in August 1993, Roy Raymond jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, ending his life of tragedy at the age of 46. And that year, Victoria's Secret became the nation's largest lingerie retailer.
When he went out, Lei Juekun personally sent Lei Weidong and several people into the car, and when Lei Weidong's car couldn't be seen, Lei Juekun's face changed, and the smiling appearance just now was immediately replaced with a stiff face.
"Where's the second one!"
"Master, the second young master is out!" Butler Road.
"This loser, go out and fool around again!" Lei Juekun threw the crutches out in an angry manner.
"Get out there and look for him, and let him come back to me!"
"Lei Shao! Is it really necessary to make this bet for the sake of these four theaters? If you lose, you will lose more than 10,000! As soon as he left the gate of Lei Juekun's house, Zhang Aijia couldn't wait to ask Lei Weidong why he wanted to make such a bet that seemed to be lost.
"Don't worry, Sister Aijia, since I make this bet, of course I am confident that I will win, not to mention other Sister Aijia, it is the script I gave you yesterday, if it is filmed, the box office will exceed 20 million, so you don't have to worry at all!" Regarding Zhang Aijia's inquiry, Lei Weidong explained.
After a pause, Lei Weidong continued: "Sister Aijia, and Sister Liang need to do most now is to get the company's framework out as soon as possible, prepare those behind-the-scenes staff and shooting equipment in advance, and wait for the Spring Festival to pass, as soon as the actors and directors are in place, they will start shooting immediately, and strive for the first movie to be an instant hit."
Especially the dragon and tiger martial artist named Cheng Long, I heard that Wu Siyuan's Siyuan company is also playing his attention, in case it is borrowed by Wu Siyuan in advance, there is no schedule, we will be in trouble! You must know whether these four theaters belong to Sister Aijia in the end, and we will depend on the results of your work during this time."
"Yes, Sister Liang and I will go to Luo Wei to negotiate in the afternoon. Set Cheng Long's schedule, but Lei Shao, you have to get the script done as soon as possible! Zhang Aijia said.
"No problem, I'll give you the script before I go to the United States! However, I can only give you an outline, because actors like Cheng Long are suitable for on-the-spot play, and there are many fight scenes in the script, and many fight scenes need to be arranged on the spot according to the specific situation. If the script is too rigid, the effect of the film will not be good! ”
"Play on the spot!" Zhang Aijia was a little puzzled.
"Haha! Sister Aijia will know when the time comes! Lei Weidong didn't say anything about the mystery.
You must know that there are many directors and actors in Hong Kong who like to change scripts on the spot, among which Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi are the most famous.
But this may be the talent of two people, such as Cheng Long's witty martial arts action design, and Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy performance is only the two of them are suitable for writing, and the others can't be written by a professional editor.
In addition, two people like to keep improving, and many shots are not satisfied after being filmed and need to be reshot, especially Cheng Long likes to work hard in the film, and sometimes a desperate shot has to be shot several times, with the title of Desperate Saburo.
So for these two people, Lei Weidong thinks it's best to give full play to their talents, and the script doesn't stipulate that they die, once they die, it will be troublesome for Brother Long and Xing Ye to lose their spirituality.
Besides, Lei Weidong himself is a copyist, although he has watched those movies many times, it is easier to write an outline, but it is a bit embarrassing to write every scene.
Of course, this does not mean that Lei Weidong does not attach importance to the script, you must know that the decline of Hong Kong movies later, and the lack of good scripts is a big reason.
Since he has decided to enter the Hong Kong film market in advance, Lei Weidong has decided to plan his path in the film industry.
I am a time-traveler, and I am very familiar with the prosperity and decline of Hong Kong films and the development of world films, although because I was an outsider in my previous life, I don't know much about the situation in the entertainment industry, it's just hearsay, but I still have a general understanding of the development of films.
The 21st century is an era of the explosion of network information, and if a person is not a particularly withdrawn existence, he still has a general understanding of the specific situation of society.
Now that he already knows the general path of the future development of world films, and also knows the rise and fall of Hong Kong films, of course, Lei Weidong will not be as short-sighted as those Hong Kong filmmakers, only looking at immediate interests, and mainly making quick money in the film industry.
Lei Weidong is interested in the kind of industrial chain that has long-term interests and can provide a steady stream of wealth for himself.
Speaking of Hong Kong films, we cannot but say that the development of Hong Kong films is a strange event in the history of world film development.
A city with a population of only a few million has grown into the world's second-largest film production center, producing hundreds of films a year and employing 5,000 people directly in the film industry. The number of indirect employees has reached tens of thousands.
Although the prosperity of Hong Kong films is not very long, only a short period of more than ten years, of which the golden age is only ten years. But in this short period of more than ten years, Hong Kong films have become popular throughout Southeast Asia, and even entered the South Korean and Japanese markets.
This cannot be said not to be a miracle. And one of the most popular skills of Hong Kong movies is Chinese kung fu.
