Lisheng Cinema Line came to Xu Jiajun is the general manager Li Maowen, and he is also one of the shareholders of Lisheng.

Ben is just holding the purpose of losing money and making money.

But after watching the whole film in the theater of Lisheng Cinema, Li Maowen was pleasantly surprised, and he realized that this could be a dark horse in the film industry this year.

At the same time, he also realized that the conditions originally prepared could not impress Xu Jiajun, and the cooperation should be formal and long-term, because Oriental Pictures has the potential to become a long-term supplier of Lisheng to maintain the operation of the theater.

So he invited Lei Juekun to watch the film again, and after watching it, Lei Juekun also decided to cooperate with Oriental Pictures for a long time, but the two sides could not agree on the conditions.

In the end, at Xu Jiajun's request, the matter was temporarily shelved, and we will talk about it after the movie is released.

Then he talked about the sharing of the happy ghost.

Nowadays, the Xiangjiang Cinema Line implements the package system, and in addition to the box office share, each theater has to take a fixed cost of about 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan per day.

In the end, the box office has to pay 17.5% entertainment tax, minus about 15% of the distribution fee, and then the remaining part of the theater chain takes 60%, and the filmmaker takes 40%.

The filmmakers mainly rely on overseas distribution, as well as videotapes, etc., and the box office in the city does not make much money.

After negotiations, Lisheng Cinemas promised that its 18 theaters would start screening Happy Ghosts on February 12th, after all, there are no good films to be released by Lisheng Cinemas itself anyway, so it is better to empty the screens and give them all to Happy Ghosts.

The above Lisheng may be to pave the way for the negotiation after the negotiation, and wants to show the sincerity of cooperation, so it also made corresponding concessions, promising to share 50% of the total box office after removing the entertainment tax and distribution fee.

This share is already very good, for example, the satellite company under Golden Harvest can only score five or five points with Golden Harvest, and other independent companies are six or four points.

The cinema chain is the boss of the industry.

"18 theaters are screened, Ah Jun, after the Happy Ghost is released, you will definitely be a blockbuster." On the way home after the negotiation, in the car, Zhao Yazhi, the co-pilot, was so excited that his face flushed, and he was very excited.

At this time, there are no more than 100 theaters in Xiangjiang, and there are only a dozen or twenty under Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and they usually score points to different movies, so 18 theaters are co-screened, and this treatment alone can shock the industry.

Xu Jiajun held the steering wheel with one hand, and walked on Zhao Yazhi's stocking legs with the other, and chuckled: "Sister is so confident in me." ”

"Of course, if you don't have confidence, I won't bet on fame to help you publicize." Zhao Yazhi snorted lightly, feeling that there was an air blow, and pulled down the skirt he lifted: "Don't make trouble, drive well, how much box office do you think Happy Ghost can have?" ”

"At least ten million." Xu Jiajun blurted out directly, originally he thought that it would end up being eight or nine million, but now that it has not been screened, the popularity is so high, it should not be difficult to win 10 million box office with the quality of happy ghosts.

The original Happy Ghost won 17 million box office when it was released in 84, and at that time there were 14 movie tickets, equivalent to more than 1.2 million moviegoers.

Now the happy ghost has been hyped up in Hong Kong, and the current movie ticket is 10 yuan, and if you are conservative, you will have a box office of 12 million if you watch the movie 1.2 million times.

"Ten million!" Zhao Yazhi's eyes widened, and her small mouth opened into the shape of Xu Jiajun, with a dreaming expression: "What are you kidding, Xiangjiang has not broken 10 million box office movies so far!" ”

"Soon after." Xu Jiajun said lightly, even if there are no happy ghosts, Cheng Longyan's junior brother will break 10 million this year.

Today on the 9th, the junior brother will be released today, and you can see that the theaters under Golden Harvest are full on the roadside, and Cheng Long's appeal is still very strong.

Now most of the popular celebrities are only paid two or three hundred thousand, and Cheng Long has already received two or three million, which belongs to the existence of a unique file, so you can imagine how popular it is.

"I don't believe it." Zhao Yazhi pouted, she felt that a box office of five million was already very high.

"Or we'll make a bet." Xu Jiajun slowed down the car after speaking, and whispered a few words in her ear.

It seems to be slowing down, but in fact the speed is soaring.

Zhao Yazhi's face turned red instantly, and a look of shame flashed on her pretty face, but in the face of Xu Jiajun's playful and provocative eyes, her rebellious heart came up again, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "Bet, gamble, I'm afraid of you." ”

……………

The next day, on February 10, Lisheng Cinemas announced that it would release Happy Ghost in all its theaters on February 12, which caused a great sensation in the industry.

Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai were dismissive, only when Lisheng was dying, many people in the film and television industry were also waiting to see the jokes, after all, the higher the happy ghost is praised now, the worse it will be to fall.

At the same time, Golden Harvest released the news that the junior brother won 800,000 box office on the first day yesterday, which quickly overshadowed the limelight of happy ghosts and attracted all the media.

According to the three-week release time, this first day plus Cheng Long's fame, it is obviously going to tens of millions, and it is very likely to be the first movie in Xiangjiang to break the box office of 10 million.

Therefore, the popularity of Xu Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi has dropped a lot, and even the talk with happy ghosts has been replaced by the junior brother, how can this be endured?

He immediately asked Spicy Ginger to chat with his ex-husband.

Big Taurus and Black Star, a two-pronged approach, the ex-husband's brother endured the unwillingness of "his wife to ride people" and admitted to the media that he was framing Xu Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi.

and said that he would buy a ticket to see the happy ghost.

No way, Xu Huangmao gave too much.

The ex-husband's brother also said that he wanted to know what kind of drama could cause his wife to be separated, and after his words came out, the whole Hong Kong people also wanted to know.

After announcing the operation of the little genius Xu Jiajun, the popularity of "Happy Ghost" finally rose again the day before its release, and it lasted until the next day.

The time came to February 12th, and Happy Ghost ushered in the premiere, thanks to the previous hype, the attendance rate was full as soon as it was released, and the word of mouth quickly fermented.

The box office on the first day was 900,000, which overshadowed the limelight of the junior and younger brothers, on the contrary, due to the large number of audiences being diverted, the attendance rate of the junior and younger brothers began to decline.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and they actually let Lei Juekun pick up a bargain." Throwing the newspaper that reported on the box office of the happy ghost on the first day on the table, Zou Wenhuai sighed with mixed feelings, and his intestines were full of regret.

The loss of a movie with a box office of 10 million is only secondary, the key is to let Lisheng Cinema come out.

The 25-year-old Cheng Long was still immature, and said with some anxiety and worry: "Mr. Zou, godfather, what should I do now?" The audience was all snatched up. ”

"The two films are not of the same type, not to mention that with your fame, even if the attendance rate declines, it will not be too exaggerated, and the box office will drop slightly, but it should be no problem to break 10 million." He Guanchan patiently reassured.

Cheng Long was still unwilling: "Godfather, but if the total box office is surpassed by a happy ghost, wouldn't the person surnamed Xu step on me to take the position?" I'm so faceless. ”

As a good-looking person, his junior brother is a film directed and acted by him, if he is pressed by Xu Jiajun across the border, what will make him lose face?

"And what do you want? Playing off-board tricks? Don't think crookedly, Xinji has been made half dead by Xu Jiajun, Shenghe's spicy ginger is clearly his dog, his style of acting is not the right way, haven't you been enough by the club! He Guanzhuan's face sank, and he warned in a stern tone.

At the mention of the club, Cheng Long immediately lowered his head.

His former boss was Luo Wei, and after he was poached by He Guanzhi to Jiahe, Luo Wei was angry and found someone from the club to do things, and he was worried during that time.

"Ah Long, you are different from him, you don't need to care about temporary gains and losses, not to mention that the box office of Happy Ghost may not be able to surpass that of junior brother." He Guanzhong's tone slowed down and comforted, and then he turned his head to look at Zou Wenhuai: "Do you want to talk to this offspring?" ”

"It's useless, Lisheng won't let go if he finally grabs a life-saving straw, we can't open better conditions, not to mention who knows if he's 'lucky'? We don't have to bet. Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said that it was not in vain, and then chuckled: "It's not us who is the most uncomfortable now. ”

The most uncomfortable now is Shao Yifu.

The happy ghost was filmed on the set of Shaw Brothers, the actor Lin Guobin is a Shaw Brothers person, and the director Gao Zhisen is also a Shaw Brothers person, but in the end he was cheaper than Lei Juekun.

If he had talked to Xu Jiajun at the beginning......

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that there is a drama called Modern Guy during the Shaw Brothers Spring Festival that is scheduled to be released on the 15th, but now there are junior brothers and disciples in front of him, and there are happy ghosts in the back, and Modern Warriors will be cannon fodder if they are still released on schedule.

"Modern Men postpone the release for a week, and you can talk about Ah Zhi, if Xu Jiajun is willing to come to Shaw Brothers, I am very welcome." Shao Yifu said to Fang Yihua and paused: "If Xu Jiajun is unwilling to come, try to dig Gao Zhisen." ”

Even if he is happy, Xu Jiajun is not qualified enough to let him lower his body to talk about it in person, and he doesn't believe that Xu Jiajun can be popular in every script, the director is the key and the soul of the crew.

Compared with Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu's melancholy, Lei Juekun's face was almost laughing, and he couldn't wait to sign a long-term contract with Oriental Pictures, but Xu Jiajun insisted on waiting until the movie was drawn before talking about it.
