Conference room of Dengfeng County Party Committee Building.

Lawyer Hu, who was invited by Kang Jianfei from Hong Kong, took out the contract that had been drafted and said to Secretary Zheng and County Magistrate Wu: "Please look at the two of you first to see if there are any mistakes or omissions in the contract." ”

A contract is thick and has more than 20 pages, and the two parents have been looking at it for a long time, and they have already been dizzy by the various terms and phrases in it.

Kang Jianfei asked lawyer Hu to explain to them one by one, and after two hours of busy work, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the content of the contract. Under the camera lenses of the newspaper and the county newspaper, the two sides signed their respective names on the contract.

Since Kang Jianfei was in a hurry to go to the clouds. Nan continued filming, and Dengfeng County set up a Shaolin Temple Contracting Project Promotion Group, headed by County Magistrate Wu himself, to help the establishment of the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School - after all, 750,000 yuan is not so easy to earn.

The heads of the agriculture and forestry department and the investment promotion department of Dengfeng County were recruited for a meeting, but unfortunately there were some problems in the tourism department.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the tourism department of the Republic was only a national travel agency, and it was not until the sixties that the China Travel and Tourism Administration was established to be responsible for China's tourism industry together with China International Travel Service. It is a pity that the Travel Authority was just established, and it encountered that ten-year movement, and it was not until the reform and opening up that it resumed its work.

Until now, China's travel bureau has only been established at the provincial level, not to mention that Dengfeng County does not have a tourism bureau, and even the city of Luoyang, where it is located, has no tourism bureau.

If Kang Jianfei's Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company wants to be established, it must also go to Zheng. The state and provincial travel and tourism business administration will apply for approval, and then get in touch with China International Travel Service directly under the Ministry of Finance. Because there is no private travel agency now, all foreigners who want to travel to Shaolin Temple in the future will have to be handled by China International Travel Service.

After that, there were so many things that Kang Jianfei was too lazy to have a headache, so he threw all the things to Hu Juncai to deal with. Anyway, now that the contract has been signed, Kang Jianfei is not afraid that the local government will regret it after the release of "Shaolin Temple", as for the establishment of the company and the restoration of the building, it can be done slowly, Kang Jianfei did not think about making Shaolin Temple profitable within three or five years.

Back in the county guest house, Kang Jianfei said to Hu Juncai: "Ah Cai, don't worry about making money, the most important thing now is to renovate the Shaolin Temple." When renovating, you must listen to the opinions of those experts in the design institute, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, you must repair the Shaolin Temple. ”

Hu Juncai was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was neatly combed, quite a bit of a successful person's style. It's a pity that this guy revealed his background as soon as he ate, got a bowl of noodles and brought it back to the room of the guest house, and took a big bite of a large number of noodles and sucked it in.

Swallowing half a bowl of noodles in one bite, Hu Juncai complained while chewing: "This staple food in the north is too unpalatable, and the dishes are so salty that they can't be eaten, so I can only come back to eat noodles to fill my stomach." Or is it better for us in the south ......"

Kang Jianfei smiled: "It's your mouth that is screwed, if you could eat the meal received by the county party committee today three years ago, I'm afraid you would be able to wake up laughing in your dreams." ”

"Hehehe......" Hu Juncai could only laugh dryly. He is different from Kang Jianfei, Kang Jianfei fled Hong Kong after his parents died, and Hu Juncai's family has eight brothers and sisters, and there are too many people to eat, so he was so hungry a few years ago that he followed Kang Jianfei to Hong Kong to break through the future.

Kang Jianfei continued: "The Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company has been built, and you sign a cooperation agreement with the Shaolin Temple in the name of the Tourism Development Company. ”

Hu Juncai said strangely: "Didn't we contract the Shaolin Temple?" Why do you have to give money to Shaolin Temple? ”

Kang Jianfei explained: "Shaolin Temple is a religious site, and now the mainland authorities are not strict about these management, and we are actually taking advantage of their legal loopholes. But no matter what, the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and the Shaolin Temple belong to two units, and after strict distinction, it will save a lot of trouble in the future, otherwise a small local religious management department will be able to kill us in the future. If we make Shaolin Temple bigger and don't give Shaolin Temple any benefits, can those monks not be blushing in the future? Even if we can win the lawsuit, it will greatly affect the operation of the travel company. ”

Hu Juncai said unhappily: "We have invested so much money in Shaolin Temple, those monks can share it if they want to, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”

Kang Jianfei explained: "Ah Cai, you will be the manager of the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company in the future, and you can't still have the same mentality as before." When you make money, you have to let others drink soup when you eat meat, otherwise someone will be red and ruin the stove, and everyone will have nothing to eat at that time. ”

Hu Juncai nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is it to use money to stabilize these monks?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Not only to stabilize them, but also to understand one thing, that is, a religious unit like Shaolin Temple is different from an ordinary company. We can't use these monks as employees, because the monks' teachings are all under management, and we can't just fire them. Since we can't coerce, we can only lure them and tie them up with us with 20% of our income, then we all belong to the same interest group. At that time, those monks will not only not dismantle our platform, but will work hard to help us make the company bigger and bigger. Even if in the future, if the powerful people join forces with the local zhèngfǔ to fight the idea of the tourism company, those monks will help us. ”

Hu Juncai digested it and suddenly asked, "What if those who hit the idea of the company promise to give more benefits to the monks?" These monks may be able to eat inside and out. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and praised: "Yes, you can think of this problem is very progressive, but you don't have to worry about this kind of thing." First, after all, monks are Buddhists, and their face and reputation are very important, so this kind of thing will not be done easily. Second, the reason why I gave the monks two percent of the profit, rather than just one percent, was that I took into account the question you raised. Twenty percent of the profit is already very much, if a competitor wants to intervene in the future, we have a legal contract in hand, and we will inevitably leave us a copy. The local zhèngfǔ wants to participate, so the profits have to be distributed to the local finance, which has already been divided in half, where is the ability to increase the profit share for the monks? ”

In fact, in the parallel space, the Shaolin Temple itself can only share 30% of the ticket revenue, and the local finance takes 70%. As for the price increase of Shaolin Temple tickets, it is also a decision made by the relevant departments of the local government, and Shaolin Temple does not have any right to speak. Those netizens who scolded on the Internet that the monks of Shaolin Temple were shameless and raised ticket prices in order to make money, were actually scolding the wrong target. As for what Shaolin Temple is listed on, Master Yongxin has no decision-making power, and everything is decided by the relevant departments.

After some advice, Kang Jianfei finally took the crew to Yun/Nan to continue filming.

At this time in Hong Kong, "The Story of Hu Yue", directed by Xu Anhua and starring Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong, Wu Mengda, and Hui Yinghong, is almost at the end of the painting.

This literary film, which is not favored by all film investors and Xu Anhua has not been able to get investment for more than half a year, can be regarded as handing over a qualified answer sheet to Kang Jianfei.

"The Story of Hu Yue" was produced with promotion, and the total cost was 1.27 million, but the box office in Hong Kong won 4.51 million in one fell swoop. Presumably, the release of this movie was delayed for more than half a year, and the box office increased by hundreds of thousands due to the more effective publicity and distribution, coupled with a slight increase in ticket prices.

The box office of 4.51 million is not bad compared to a small-budget movie.

According to the current cooperation practice between Oriental DreamWorks and Golden Princess, if it is a blockbuster released on prime time, then it is generally six or four points - DreamWorks accounts for sixty percent. As for the small-budget films released on ordinary schedules, DreamWorks and Golden Princess Cinemas are basically split fifty or fifty. As for good films like "Mr. Zombie 2" that were not released in prime time, the sharing agreement is also calculated according to the first case.

This is the benefit of large film production companies, which can counter the cinema chain, how dare a small company share with the cinema so much?

"The Story of Hu Yue" has a box office of 4.51 million, and after removing the film tax, Oriental DreamWorks can get more than 2 million, and make a net profit of more than 800,000 after removing costs. And in the overseas box office after this movie, all the box office revenue belongs to pure profits, which is simply against the sky for a literary film, because there are few literary films made in Hong Kong that do not lose.

The first person to regret is Fang Yihua, Fang Yihua is still holding part of the Shaw Brothers production department, and when Xu Anhua invested in the film, she was the first to find her. As a result, Fang Yihua felt that the literary film had no future, and the story of Vietnamese Chinese refugees was filmed, she thought that few Hong Kong audiences should be able to watch it, so she directly refused to invest in this literary film that was destined to hit the streets.

Golden Harvest, Siyuan, Xinyicheng and other companies almost had the same concerns as Fang Yihua, so they all let this movie go.

After the release of "The Story of Hu Yue", it can be said that it was applauded and popular, and Zhou Yunfa, who has never had a sense of presence on the big screen, has received great attention from the media with this film. At the same time, Wu Mengda and Hui Yinghong, the second male and female No. 2, have also won praise from film critics. On the contrary, it was the heroine Zhong Chuhong, who became popular because she starred in "Dao Ma Dan", and although she performed well in this movie, she did not receive much extra attention.

After "The Story of Hu Yue" was painted, it was followed by "Little Life Afraid", which was directed and acted by Zeng Zhiwei and starred by Alan Tam. Although the plot of this modern urban comedy is average, with Alan Tam's appearance and fame, as well as the funny performances of Alan Tam and Zeng Zhiwei, the box office quickly exceeded 5 million, and it seems that there should be no problem with the final box office breaking 10 million.

Just when the media was talking about the myth that Oriental DreamWorks' movies never lose, everyone remembered the same question again, that is: Seeing that Christmas is approaching, Kang Jianfei's new film has no news at all, where is he hiding? (To be continued.) )
