Chapter 54: Zhongnanhai's bodyguards
The so-called box office share is not the simplest intuitive number to reflect, such as "Evil Police", according to the Hong Kong box office of 10 million, investment of 3 million, if you think that Yongsheng will make a profit of 6 million in the Hong Kong box office, then it is a joke, "Evil Police" is released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Harvest and the following satellite companies share the ratio of Golden Harvest 55% and Satellite Company 45, which means that Golden Harvest Cinemas will take 5.5 million from the 10 million box office, and the remaining 4.5 million is the money that the producer can get. And the 3 that I just told Watson is 30 percent of the 4.5 million, 1.45 million yuan, and Yongsheng has 3.05 million yuan left, which has just barely recovered the cost.
As for Yongsheng's profits, all of them come from overseas revenues, Taiwanese filmmakers buy out the right to screen in Taiwan, and will pay Yongsheng buyout fees, usually 60% of the Hong Kong box office, and the movies joined by stars will be higher, reaching 70% or 80%, according to the Hong Kong box office of 10 million, the buyout price in Taiwan alone has reached 6 million.
If the film makes the film feel that there is a market in local theaters and has a bright future, it will even give the price of the total box office in Hong Kong, calculated according to the Hong Kong box office of 10 million, and the buyout price of Xingma and Thailand is 10 million.
Although Japan's buyout price is the lowest in Southeast Asia, a blockbuster movie with a box office of 10 million will also give half of the box office buyout price, that is, 5 million
With a "Bad Policeman", Yongsheng can earn 6 million plus 10 million plus 5 million, a total of 21 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is not counting the income of the video tape industry.
This is also the reason why more and more investors have appeared in the Hong Kong film industry, and overseas investors are becoming more and more eager to enter the Hong Kong film industry.
This is also the reason why there is a company like General Pictures in Hong Kong, which would rather not be released locally, but also make movies, without it, sell it cheaply and cheat money overseas, a large company has a movie buyout fee of several million, GM is one million, two million, but the buyout fee of several countries will add up to four or five million, and a low-cost action movie will still make a lot of money.
And what Xiang Watson just meant was that Dongyi could only participate in the Hong Kong box office share of the new movie, and it was the box office share after the theater share, and as for overseas revenue, Yongsheng would not consider Dongyi.
"3 It's a lot, thank you Xiangsheng. Huo Dongjun knew that the number given to Watson was not low, but he just thought about it if the movie hit Yongsheng and made more, the simplest envy, jealousy and hatred were just that.
Xiang Watson looked at Huo Dongjun and said, "Hey, I don't have to read the script, but at least it's not too much to sue me for the name of the script, right?"
"Zhongnanhai bodyguard. Huo Dongjun said the name of the new movie to Watson.
Huo Dongjun wrote several scripts by himself, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" was only opened to Watson after he considered it, this movie meets the conditions of following the trend of movies, fashion, gunfights, action scenes, fight scenes are hot, the main story is innovative, out of the old-fashioned gangster fights, telling the story of bodyguards and killers.
Li Lianwei has not yet appeared in 6 Hong Kong at this time, but the movie has been released in Hong Kong, "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin", each of which is a blockbuster, "North and South Shaolin" in 86 is the lowest income in the trilogy, and there are still 18 million box office, although it has not yet reached the end of the year to count the top 20 blockbuster movies of the year, but "North and South Shaolin" can almost guarantee to be shortlisted in the top ten.
Huo Dongjun also wants to listen to Zhang Wulang's advice, don't direct the tube too early, but time waits for no one, Huo Dongjun doesn't know what year Jet Li came to the Hong Kong Exhibition in the previous life, but watching the popularity of "North and South Shaolin", I'm afraid it won't wait too long, since he wants to grab money and make a name for himself, Huo Dongjun can't delay it any longer, even if Xiang Watson doesn't come to him for dinner this time, Huo Dongjun is also ready to talk to Watson's company about opening a play in a few days.
"Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" is Huo Dongjun's complete script with the venue, camera position, and actions all recorded on paper, he has only done half of the director's play, and he also needs the help of executive director Liao Jiande, so in order to prepare in advance, Huo Dongjun can basically describe it with pen and paper, Huo Dongjun wrote and drew it all, including his absolutely original stickman style action design drawing.
Xiang Watson was stunned for a moment after hearing this name: "Zhongnanhai?"
"It's just a gimmick, it has nothing to do with Zhongnanhai, and it was born in Hong Kong's gunfight action scene. Huo Dongjun explained to Watson.
He knows Xiang Watson's concerns, the current Taiwan market is strictly censored, and there is no room for political content, if there is a Hong Kong company that violates the regulations, then it can basically be said that this company's future dramas have no chance to enter the Taiwan market, so Xiang Watson will be a little stunned when he hears the three words Zhongnanhai, in fact, Taiwan can accept some entertaining descriptions of Hong Kong movies on Big 6, and it is not difficult for this title to pass the review.
Xiang Watson listened to Huo Dongjun briefly describe the plot, especially after a few action scenes, his interest suddenly came up, in his opinion, if this drama increases investment, it is also very suitable to become Yongsheng's signature work, but if you want to increase investment, you need to find a stable director, but if you change the director and production company, I am afraid Huo Dongjun will not start Yongsheng.
"Ah Jun, you are sure, the idea of this drama is good, and it will definitely sell well if you shoot it carefully. ”
"Xiang Sheng, I know what you think, if the film company and director are replaced, I would rather not shoot this drama, it is because I am going to direct it for the first time, so I came up with this script to also start Dongyi's signboard. Huo Dongjun knew from Xiang Watson's tone that the other party wanted to change to a well-known and experienced director to shoot this film.
"The girlfriend of the successor of the big Hong Kong family, which one of the heroines is temperamental enough to play? Do you have any ideas?" asked Watson to Huo Dongjun.
At this time, the dishes on the table were already cold, but Xiang Watson actually picked up a piece of lotus root and asked while eating.
"Zhang Le, give birth to your girlfriend. Huo Dongjun said with a smile towards Watson.
Yongsheng only signed one actress at this time, that is, Zhang Le, Huo Dongjun thinks that at this time, this beautiful girl who has become the lover of many people's dreams with Qimeng should already be Xiang Huasheng's girlfriend, because he already knows that Xiang Huasheng was single two years ago.
"Will she be my girlfriend?" asked Huo Dongjun curiously, "What did I tell you?"
"The whole Yongsheng only signed her as an actress, isn't she your girlfriend to give birth to her, is it my girlfriend?" Huo Dongjun looked at Watson with an expression of disapproval, and quipped: "It's so obvious, you don't think you can hide it, right?"
"She's really not, I don't like too plump women very much, I signed her because of the short film of ATV, I think she has a star temperament, but she looks bad in "Magic Jade". Xiang Watson didn't mind Huo Dongjun's ridicule, but chatted with Huo Dongjun about women with great interest: "I like women with well-proportioned bodies, don't be too plump, don't be too skinny, do you want to meet Zhang Le?
Huo Dongjun thought about it for a while, Zhang Le had a bareback shot in "Magic Jade", he did look very fat, and he didn't even act as a vase in that play, and his appearance was not beautiful enough, could it be that Zhang Le was hooked by the little Xiangsheng in front of him after he successfully lost weight?
