In Hong Kong.

The stars in the film industry have a crushing advantage over the stars in the TV industry.

Especially the golden decade of Hong Kong films.

1986 was the beginning of a golden decade.

Today's movie stars don't look down on acting on TV at all.

In the words of Cheng Gangsheng, that is not a person in the industry!

"Andy, you can call me Simon, or Xingchen, don't call me Li Sheng, it's too rusty, I welcome you to join my company, do you want to sign a long-term contract, or a short-term contract?"

Li Xingchen saw that the other party had misunderstood, and immediately said with a smile.

Being able to sign Lou Dehua at this time is simply a treasure.

Could he not want to?

You have to be willing!

"Andy, sign a long contract, I have signed it for twenty years, Li Sheng will not treat you badly!"

Liang Jiahui deserves to be the best assist.

"Twenty years? Brother Hui, I heard you right, right? ”

Lou Dehua was stunned by this age.

He fell out with TVB and was hidden, didn't he refuse a five-year slave contract?

He didn't want to do it for five years, and for twenty years, he was almost crazy!

However, in his impression, Liang Jiahui is not a stupid person.

After graduating from the training class that year, Liang Jiahui ran away as soon as he heard that TVB was going to sign an eight-year contract and the salary was very low.

Then he went to shoot "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and became the best actor at the Academy Awards.

Ended up on the streets.

Life has ups and downs, and it's very exciting!

"A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan! It increases every year, and you will be equipped with a full-time agent, the company's own films, and then talk about the salary, and the movies outside the company will only be margined by 20%! ”

Liang Jiahui knew that his friend had misunderstood.

Yan Huang's treatment is not comparable to that of TVB, a company that picks the door to the house.

"Only 20% of the pump?"

Lou Dehua was deeply attracted by this condition.

In Xiangjiang in the 80s, let alone 20%, it was 50%, all of which were the boss's kindness.

When Cheng Gangsheng was not red and purple, he was directly smoked 70%!

"Sign! I'll sign it now! ”

Lou Dehua's current Mandarin is not very good, but he still expressed his wishes in Mandarin.

Then he looked at Li Xingchen blankly.

With such a good boss and such conscientious conditions, it's hard to find even with a lantern!

After this village, there is no such shop.

Yan Huang's thigh, he had to hold it tightly.

For Lou Dehua, who was hidden by TVB, Li Xingchen's Yanhuang movie is undoubtedly the legendary white knight!

"Come to the company tomorrow to sign a contract," Li Xingchen smiled and patted Lou Dehua on the shoulder, "Andy, do a good job!" ”

"Li Sheng, don't worry, I will definitely make money for the company!"

Lou Dehua gratefully shook Li Xingchen's hand.

He's finally out of the snow!

"Li Sheng, in the drama "The True Color of Heroes", there is still a Guodao policeman, Andy's appearance is awe-inspiring, why don't you let him come?"

Liang Jiahui, who is very familiar with the script, saw his friend successfully enter the company, and immediately wanted to get a role for him.

The role of the Guodao policeman was originally played by Wu Yusen, but Wu Yusen is now the assistant director, and he is busy dealing with large and small chores every day.

And Li Xingchen himself is not interested in being on camera.

So I haven't found a suitable candidate yet.

Li Xingchen glanced at Lou Dehua's appearance, and now Andy Lou is still a sunny young man, with a masculine handsomeness.

Although it is not as chic as it was five years later, it is not as mature as it was fifteen years later.

But there is no problem in playing a Guodao policeman.

And Li Xingchen remembered that four years ago, Lou Dehua and his godmother Ye Dexian starred in "Falcon", playing the undercover policeman Jiang David in it.

That appearance is simply a standard image photo of the Xiangjiang police.

It is said that in the next few years, the Xiangjiang Police Academy recruited people, all using Lou Dehua's propaganda posters.

"Andy, are you confident?"

Lou Dehua nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" ”

"Then after signing the contract tomorrow, take the script, prepare well, and join the crew the day after tomorrow, no problem, right?"

Lou Dehua showed a grateful look on his face: "Li Sheng...... Thank you! ”

Li Xingchen smiled: "Don't thank me, it depends on your own efforts." ”

With that, he left with a group of people.

After walking at least twenty meters, he turned around and saw Lou Dehua still standing in place.

I saw him look back.

Lou Dehua hurriedly waved his hand, with a bright smile on his face.

Now Andy Lou is so young!

......

The next day, Li Xingchen just arrived at the office.

Luo Song kicked the door open and walked in with a few pieces of paper.

"The cost budget table of "The True Color of Heroes" is out, FK, it didn't cost five million, plus Zhang Guorong's salary, the production cost budget is only 4.7 million!"

When Li Xingchen heard this, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, do you want to spend all my five million to be happy?" ”

"I think the venue in Guodao should not be an indoor set, you have to go to a five-star hotel to shoot on the spot!"

Luo Song pointed to the site budget made by Wu Yusen and others, "Here, the brick kiln is too low, and it will be replaced by a villa!" It's better to blow it up again, let Song Zihao and Tan Cheng turn the world upside down, and kill a hundred Guodao policemen, so that they can spend a little more money. ”

Li Xingchen pinched the bridge of his nose: "Two people fight a hundred?" Let's be a police movie, not a fairy movie! ”

"Then can this Mercedes really burn?"

Li Xingchen patted the table: "Big guy, no!" The cost must be controlled within 5 million, the shooting cycle is one month, the post-production is one month, and in May, this movie must be released! ”

"What about the more publicity and distribution costs?"

Luo Song always wants to spend the five million quickly, after the failure of this movie, they can go back to Citi as soon as possible and break into Hollywood!

To be honest, although he has been supporting all the decisions of his dead party in the past few days, deep down, he thinks that the ending of this movie is bound to be a failure!

The analysis in the newspaper is somewhat biased, but there is still a reason.

After all, this type of movie is the first time to appear in Xiangjiang, and no one knows whether it can be sought after by the audience.

It's pure gambling!

"What kind of flowers, talk to each theater chain about dividing it, anyway, you can't escape, everyone will talk about the conditions 4466 clearly."

In the 80s, the total box office revenue was usually a 17.5% entertainment tax levied by the government (abolished in 1993).

After paying taxes, the box office income will be distributed according to the distribution method.

There are three ways to issue Heung.

The first is to sell the film, that is, the release rights of the pre-sold film.

The second is the issuance of the agency issuing company.

The third is to be released in a certain theater.

Most film companies release in theaters.

The distribution method with the cinema chain is very complicated, and the treatment of large companies and small companies is completely different.

The distribution method of large cinema lines and small cinema lines is also different.

There are even times when the distribution of income is adjusted according to the time spent on the show.

If you put it simply, it is generally four or six open.

That is, 40% of the producer and 60% of the theater.

Based on the total box office of 10 million, the government took 1.75 million, the theater chain divided 4.95 million, and the final income of the producer was about 3.3 million.

The 3.3 million, after removing the cost, is the company's net profit.

Therefore, the production cost of "The True Color of Heroes" is 4.7 million, and the total box office must be about 14 million to be equal!

According to the box office record in 1985, the box office of 14 million can be ranked thirteenth in the total box office!

Can "The True Color of Heroes" squeeze into the top 13 at the box office?

Kill borscht, he won't believe it!

Therefore, Yanhuang movies are destined to lose money to death!

And even if it is a box office of 14 million, Yanhuang Film is a small company, and a strong theater chain will inevitably charge 10% more publicity fees and copy fees.

In this way, you have to increase costs and reduce revenue!

Therefore, if Xiangjiang Films wants to recoup its cost, it must rely on the box office revenue share of Guodao, Southeast Asia and other places.

This is also the biggest reason why no one dared to use Liang Jiahui after Guodao banned him.

Can't make any money.

It's not good to do any god-level acting skills!

"If you don't even want to pay for publicity and copying, it's hard for me to contact the theater."

Borscht began to complain.

"Fatty, this time is the critical moment to give full play to your abilities," Li Xingchen looked at him, "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”

“FK！”

Facing the scoundrel Li Xingchen, Luo Fatzi slammed the door angrily, and the front desk lady holding coffee outside the door trembled in fright.

"What do you see, I've never seen such a handsome general manager?"

Luo Fatzi glared angrily at the lively employees, "It's okay to do it, isn't it, I will not only scold the boss, I will also scold you, whoever is idle for me again, all the bonuses will be deducted this month!" ”

Li Xingchen in the office showed a smug smile.

Luo Fatzi, you have to force it, otherwise you will think about P Hong Kong girls all day long!
