After a while, Zhao Donghuai sent He Guanchang away, and when he cleaned up, he just planned to go to the Clear Water Bay set to wash up the new action genre samples shot yesterday.

Then I saw a young man in a suit knocking on the door.

After the young man saw Zhao Donghuai, his smile was also very enthusiastic, "Director Zhao, contemptible Li Guoxing, it's really not easy to find here." ”

Zhao Donghuai invited the other party to enter and said with a smile, "Li Sheng, this is?" ”

Li Guoxing's smile was even brighter, "If you come uninvited, I'll make a long story short, I want to pay 10 million to buy out the distribution rights of New World in Southeast Asia and even Wanwan, island countries, and South Korea." ”

"I know that Director Zhao and Shaw Brothers cooperate, and there is no shortage of distribution channels, but the release of Shaw Brothers is released in January, how long is it released, and how much time is there to settle the bill after the release? Transfer? If you can't get off in half a year, it's even more difficult to be dragged by a card. ”

"If Director Zhao is willing, sign a contract, and 10 million will be credited within two days."

Zhao Donghuai, "......"

This is one of the key channels for Hong Kong films to make money, the box office in this port really doesn't make much, and the 5 million investment is a problem to slowly return to the cost, and the box office explosion is a little better.

Of course, it is also common for a little darker to drag you for half a year and a year.

When I arrived in other cities, whether it was a cinema line in Wanwan, South Korea, an island country, or a cinema line in Xingjiapo, Malaysia and other places, I would slowly settle the accounts when I was screened up and down, and share the accounts with companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and then then give Shaw Golden Harvest to the production film company, then the time was ......

It's fast to get your hands on it in half a year.

Selling out is a quick way to recoup your funds.

After Cheng Long became popular in this era, it was very common for Southeast Asian film companies to find film companies and want to buy out the distribution rights of new films.

In the past, Zhao Donghuai was unknown, but now it is normal for a publisher to come to the door.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Ten million? Li Sheng was a little sincere. ”

Just like He Guanchang's words before, Cheng Long's Young Master Long is 18 million Hong Kong dollars, but counting Wanwan, South Korea, the island country Xingjiapo, etc., it is roughly 13 million US dollars.

Calculated at 7.8 Hong Kong dollars for one US knife, that is 100 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

Even if it is divided into a wave with theaters around the world, there are tens of millions in hand, which is the way Golden Harvest and Cheng Long make money, which is also the reason why Cheng Long's salary is so expensive, not to mention that the theater release is only one of the profits, and there is also a video tape distribution.

This is not the 90s, DCD, VCD rampant, piracy everywhere in the era, this era is basically video recorder videotape, the cost is high and not good, video tape distribution is also very profitable.

Before the rise of piracy, videotapes were actually very profitable.

You said that the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US knife has been changing, and Young Master Long's example is inappropriate...... That's right, in the early to mid-70s, a U.S. knife was only exchanged for more than 5 Hong Kong dollars, but this spring and summer, a U.S. knife was almost worth more than 9 Hong Kong dollars.

October was the month when the Hong Kong dollar and the US knife were set at 7.8 to 1, which lasted for many years without change.

Take Plan A as an example, it will be released in December this year, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has been set, and the Hong Kong island is more than 19 million, ranking under the five lucky stars and the best partners, but an island country is 3.1 billion yen, worth more than 10 million US dollars, and the US knife against the yen is about 1:240 at this time.

The total box office is about more than 26 million dollars, and the island country accounts for half of the total box office.

Multiplied by 7.8, the total box office is more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars!

The approximate proportion is divided into half or more of the theaters in various countries, and after paying taxes, deducting publicity costs, and other miscellaneous expenses, Jiahe and Cheng Long can also enter the bag of about 70 or 80 million, and the videotapes are even more profitable.

But this is Cheng Long.

If the market of his new world island country is too poor, or he can't get on the cinema line.

The total box office is cut by nearly half, it is not too much, it is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, this is still the benchmark Plan A, the data of all box office sales outside the island country.

The original genuine Infernal Affairs 1 and New World in the island country?? There wasn't much box office success.

Tax deductions in various countries, deductions for publicity, half of the deduction for theaters, and a few percent for Shaw Brothers when he returns to Hong Kong Island, he will have an income of more than 20 million yuan in his pocket, and it will take a lot of time to wait, and if the box office of any country does not explode, the number will be less.

was cheated by a foreign theater company, and if you steal the box office......

In this way, 10 million in two days is not a small amount.

"It's okay to sell out, but I want fifteen million."

All the other cities exploded like Hong Kong Island, and after a few months or even more than half a year, more than 20 million yuan was recorded one after another, and 15 million in a few days, he would definitely choose the latter.

In other words, the total box office figure of Hong Kong Island is about the same as the final box office net profit of your other cities.

But the biggest problem is that he doesn't know anyone in Xingjiapo, Malaysia, Yinni, Thailand and other places, even if the box office sells three or four million US dollars, the cinema distributors in various countries open their mouths casually, and it is difficult for him to verify it.

Even if Boss Shao is good and doesn't cheat, what about theaters in various countries? After the millennium, the theaters in various provinces and cities in the mainland steal the box office, and it is difficult to restrain the Chinese word, how can we talk about overseas tricks in this era?

It's really better to get the money in hand to do some business in advance, and even take advantage of the low market price of real estate now, and collect a few good houses to appreciate the value of enough to make money.

Without waiting for Li Guoxing to speak, he continued, "No need to bargain, everyone knows that my drama is thanks to Shao Sheng's support, if you agree to this number, I will ask Shao Sheng if he is willing to buy it out at the same price as you." ”

He and Shao Tycoon have always been a win-win situation, and they have supplemented the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, from To Qifeng to Zhou Yanfa, he has also made a big hit.

If he poached and signed all the roles of To Qifeng, Zhou Yunfa, Wan Ziliang and others during the filming, it would definitely not be righteous, but he didn't dig anyone!

That large group of people has been paid a lot since then, and he can't get a penny.

Shore Brothers can be divided into commissions.

is that the new film wants to sign Lan Jieying as the heroine, and when he asked Lan Jieying, the other party did not officially sign a contract with TVB, and he did not rob anyone.

From Shaw Brothers renting equipment to the set, crew, release, etc., he also paid enough money according to all the rules.

Released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the small and medium-sized company model followed, Shaw Brothers Cinemas scored 6 percent before he got 4 percent, not Xu Guanwen's Golden Harvest release, Xu Guanwen took 60% of the box office in the first week, of course, 60% of the King of Comedy...... He has Jiahe shares in his company, and the subsidiary, Jiahe will be divided into another wave.

The most important thing is that it was only said that it would be released on Hong Kong Island at the beginning, and it was agreed.

The other cities didn't say it, and there was no verbal agreement, and Shao Daheng still thought that he would hit the street and let Wang Tianlin remake it.

Li Guoxing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "All 15 million will be issued, it's okay, you can talk to Shao Sheng, call me at any time." ”

After saying that, he took out a business card and put it on the table, smiled politely, and left.

Boss Li wanted to take down the videotape together, but unfortunately he asked the theater to release it and knew that the videotape was not a scene, the videotape, in 1991, Huang Feihong's Top Gun, Ajie's, the box office in Hong Kong was 29 million Hong Kong dollars, but from 91 to 2001, only the videotape was rented, and Ah Mei earned 10.23 million US dollars.

Hang?

Ajie's elite martial arts hero, the box office on Hong Kong Island is 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and his coffee position is pure on the street, but he rents and sells 8.4 million dollars in Ah Mei's DVD and 8.35 million dollars in videotapes, which is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Black Man hit the street at the box office of more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island! Ah Mei's DVD rental is 18.6 million dollars, the videotape is 17.47 million dollars, and a black man only works as a big brother in North America and earns 36.07 million dollars, which is more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars according to 1:7.8.

In later generations, the big sellers who wore coats were weak!

This is still a film that has not been released in Ah Mei Theaters very much, or has an average box office after its release.

Cheng Long later said in an interview that he was paid 5 million dollars for 1 piece of shooting peak moments, but peak 2 is 15 million knife salaries plus more than 20 million dollars in dividends, more than 20 million dollars in dividends, and the DVD and videotape market occupies the majority.

After more than ten years of filming, there are still a lot of dividends in the account every year.

Therefore, in the Chinese film industry, Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong Island are tied for two weeks, and Ajie is still a step behind, and when they get outside, Ajie and Cheng Long are both international superstars, and their salaries are exploding.

Similarly, the videotape is not a year or two, it is still common to make money for ten or twenty years, and then the network copyright comes.

After seeing Li Guoxing away, Zhao Donghuai grabbed his business card and played with it, but still picked up the phone with a smile and called Shao Daheng.

"Shao Sheng, I'm Zhao Donghuai, I'm resting at home today, and a guy named Li Guoxing came and said that he was willing to spend 15 million to buy out the distribution rights of my New World's cinema chains in East Asia and Southeast Asia except for the mainland."

"If I promised I'd get it in a few days."

"I invested 5 million at the beginning, and I have made several times the profit in the past few months, and I am really excited, you know, I am short of Hong Kong dollars."

"But I haven't promised him yet, I'm still thinking about it, Shao Sheng, do you think I sell it or not?"
