As soon as Zhao Donghuai and Cheng Long said a few polite words, Hong Jubao came over with Yuan Biao, greeted Guan Jiahui, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Director Zhao? I heard that Brother Shanshan has been following you to work and eat recently? ”

Zhao Donghuai shook hands and said with a smile, "I can't talk about it, Guan Sheng's acting skills are there, and it is more than enough to start work wherever he goes." ”

Hong Qibao laughed, "I can get Shao Daheng's five million investment, and call Du Qifeng and Cheng Xiaodong to assist, Director Zhao is really young and promising, amazing!" ”

"When I saw it today, it was really a hero out of a boy!"

Zhao Donghuai was dumbfounded...... That's really the reason, but he thinks that 5 million is wholly owned by Shao Daheng?

Let's put it this way, in the whole year of 1983, until the end of the year, aside from the butterfly effect of Zhao Donghuai, only 9 movies on Hong Kong Island broke 10 million at the box office.

What is the concept? Take the box office of 10 million as an example, deduct more than 10 percent of the entertainment tax, hand it over to the Hong Kong government, and then deduct some publicity and distribution fees, and the rest is divided between the theater chain and the producer, that is, the film company.

For ordinary film companies, the producer is divided into 40%, and the theater chain is 60%.

For films with a box office of 10 million, the film company can generally only pocket 3 million.

In such a proportion, you say...... In 1983, the investment of 5 million in the movie, how? Is it common?? If Zhao Donghuai's new world only gets 10 million box office on Hong Kong Island, it will only rely on the box office on Hong Kong Island, and it will lose more than one million.

Of course, the whole film process is not so simple, in addition to the box office on Hong Kong Island, you can also sell to Wanwan, island countries, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and also have income, you can also sell videotapes and so on.

But the Hong Kong box office exceeded 10 million in nine films throughout the year, which can still explain too many things.

In his relief, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao were also shocked, and looked at Director Zhao incredibly, just like Zhang Guirong still has to stay up for 8 years, Cheng Long entered the industry in 71 years, and began to emerge in 78.

Hong Qibao has been staying up for a long time, Yuan Biao? This is under the support of Hong Xiubao and Cheng Long, and it is relatively smooth.

Director Zhao smiled politely again, "Don't dare to be a ,......"

Anyone can say polite words, Director Zhao is also very good-tempered, polite for a while, was introduced by Yuan Biao to the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, looking at a large layer of guests coming and going.

After Director Zhao sat down, his eyes lit up after a few glances, and he said to Guan Jiahui, "Jiahui, I'm going to get to know someone." ”

Guan Jiahui's eyes widened, "Brother Huai, who do you want to know?" ”

Zhao Donghuai smiled and pointed his finger not far away, where a young man with an old face was greeting a group of familiar or unfamiliar faces.

That's not the members of the protagonist group of the Five Lucky Stars, the protagonist group is the eldest brother Hong, Feng Quifan, Qin Xianglin, Wu Yaohan, and Cen Jianxun.

Zhong Yihong can now be regarded as having opened the road to popularity.

But these are not Director Zhao's goals, he is eyeing Lin Zhengying, if he hands over the genuine Infernal Affairs to To Qifeng, the ideal protagonist of his next new film will be this Uncle Ying.

Don't get me wrong, Zhao Donghuai doesn't want to shoot Mr. Zombie, so that this Uncle Ying will become the most secure man in horror movies from now on, nor does he want to guide him to become a newcomer mentor in the heavens and all worlds.

The next film he wants to shoot is a hurricane rescue!

A performance that relies on a rough old man, penetrates one community group after another, relies on fists to the flesh, rapid offensive and defensive switching and counterattacks, uses ultra-fast editing and handheld photography to create a sense of oppression and compactness, and opens up another kung fu movie style.

In the stable shooting of New World, didn't he not think about making other films, such as the lone agent in the simulator who paralyzed him for more than half a year? But the Lone Agent protagonist is too young.

In terms of stars, Hong Qibao and Cheng Long are not suitable for that style.

Li Lianjie...... I haven't come to Hong Kong Island yet.

Hurricane rescue is different, just need a tough guy who looks old and can fight to support his aura, Lin Zhengying fits these perfectly, this Uncle Ying is only 31 years old this year, 3 years younger than Hong Qibao.

However, you go and see the clever plan Five Lucky Stars, in this movie, Lin Zhengying plays the butler of the counterfeit banknote king, and his appearance looks a round bigger than Hong Xiubao in the movie.

In fact, Lin Zhengying also belongs to the most capable age, and he is still one of the villains in the second part of Wufuxing.

If you can invite Lin Zhengying to shoot the hurricane rescue, then at least two parts, right? After filming, it is definitely a blockbuster movie.

Genuine Hurricane Rescue 1, the production cost was 25 million dollars, and then the North American box office was 145 million dollars, and the global box office was 226.82 million dollars.

also brought out an action superstar.

If Zhao Donghuai shoots the Hong Kong Island version, it is impossible to expect it to explode at the box office like the Hollywood version, but it is still certain to create a new genre of kung fu films and win another contemporary kung fu star other than Hong Jubao, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie.

The difference is that he wants to see if he can dig Lin Zhengying and dig the other party from Hong Jiaban to his film company, if he can't dig it? It doesn't matter if you can't dig it, you have to sign a few more movie contracts, such as how many parts of the Hurricane?

If you can't dig it, you can cooperate.

He didn't plan to shoot the Mr. Zombie series, but if the cooperation is happy, tell Lin Zhengying his thoughts in advance, let him think about directing himself after filming Hurricane, and he can invest some money to make some money.

In the eighties and nineties, Hong Kong films were prosperous, and the profits of making movies were not much worse than those of finance and real estate.

Under his words, Guan Jiahui, "......"

Sister Guan looked at Lin Zhengying in astonishment, and blinked, "Housekeeper??" ”

Her impression of Lin Zhengying is just the gray-haired housekeeper in the clever scheme.

In her heart, Sister Guan was even more stunned, a big director like Zhao Donghuai, a star of tomorrow in the future, you just left her as a tender unmarried young woman to find Zhong Yinhong, she is not surprised.

She is more confident than Zhong Yihong, at most, she lost her marriage before the age of 21.

But leave her behind and go to Lin Zhengying??

After dozens of seconds, Guan Jiahui blinked her eyes again, "Brother Huai, what are you?" Planning a new film? Or do you think Director Cheng's action scenes are not very good? Looking for a substitution? ”

Zhao Donghuai smiled, "If Sir Cheng hears what you say, he will have to beat you." ”

Guan Jiahui covered her mouth and smiled, and took the initiative to hold Zhao Donghuai's arm, "That's the new film?" Brother Huai, what is your new film? Can I act? ”

is already divorced, and her old bean takes her to meet people and go to different crews, just to pave the way for her in the future, and to have a good meal.

But after seeing so much, there is no director who is as young and handsome as Director Zhao, and when it comes to money, there is no director as proud as Director Zhao!

Talking about talent is even more no!

After all, that is creative talent, the crew admires a bunch of people from Wireless and Shaw Brothers, and music production can also make Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guirong appreciate and even admire.

The most important thing is a little bit, more gold! Single! Beautiful! Tall! Strong sense of authority!

The crew who invested 5 million said that they would leave, and they would not bring any pity.

If you only count the box office of Hong Kong Island, you will break 15 million at the box office, and those who fall into your pocket may also make a little profit.

But the box office of Hong Kong Island is 15 million? In the original trajectory, there were only 5 films in Hong Kong in the whole 83 years.

Of course, if you take another way of sharing, such as 60% in the first week, 4 in theaters, 5 in the second Friday, 4 in the third week, and 6 in theaters, your film company may earn slightly more......

Coupled with dividends from bends, island countries, and Southeast Asia, plus videotapes, this will eventually make more money, but how to say it, many film companies have no distribution channels, and they are handed over to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers?

Half a year after its release, it may only be tens of thousands of dollars in box office dividends in Southeast Asia. It's not nothing, it depends on whether Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and other publishers will not pit you, how to pit you.

Just like Hollywood movies pull investment, when making money, the layman investor is God, and the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars after the release, and the income from the video tape was also very good.

The investors happily came to share the money, and the film and television company settled the accounts, boss, our project is at a loss...... Don't look at the box office, those are all floating clouds, and our real accounts have lost a lot.

Why don't you cast more? This time by all means.
