287 movie distribution is really profitable
Zhang Rongfei nodded stunnedly, and when Chu walked forward, he complained a little unresponsively, "Mom, let you stop talking nonsense, now it's okay, the opportunity is gone." ”
"Silly boy", Fei Ma slapped her son on the head, "Your boss said that you were invited to smoke a cigar, just to let you take the position." Can't understand this? ”
Zhang Rongfei was stunned for a moment, and then happily hugged his mother and shouted.
When he appeared in the general manager's office with his own mother, who had to come over to take a look, he saw Chu Xiangqian sitting on the boss's chair and talking to Wrinkled Huai and Lard Boy.
I wanted to quit, but I saw Chu waving to me forward.
Zhang Rongfei could only tell his mother to sit on a chair in the corridor, and he knocked on the door and walked in.
Chu Xiangqian pointed at Zhang Rongfei and said to the lard boy, "Brother boy, this kid is the first little brother I have accepted, take care of it more in the future." ”
Lard Boy secretly said that this kid was really lucky, got up and said to Zhang Rongfei, "Feizai, take care of you and me in the future." ”
Zhang Rongfei hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Zai, you are laughing, you take care of me." ”
"Okay, okay", Chu Xiangqian beckoned Zhang Rongfei to sit down, and said to Wrinkle Huai with a smile, "Ah Huai, you recruit a manager who is in charge of the record business and find some good songs for Liang Zirong."
Let him go to Boss Bai's nightclub first, and the rich man who goes down the mountain leopard sings.
When he has a certain reputation, he will send him a record. ”
Wrinkle nodded hurriedly, listening to the boss, since the record manager was recruited by himself, it was naturally his own care.
Therefore, the better Zhang Rongfei's results, the better his work will be.
's attitude towards Zhang Rongfei immediately became as eager as Guanchang was to Guo Zhenhua.
Besides, this is the first little brother that the boss said personally.
Fei Ma, who was sitting outside the office, was excited after hearing that the office door was not closed.
At the same time, I am more and more grateful to Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Xiangqian looked at the lard boy, "Brother Zai, Liang Zai Rong went to the nightclub to sing, you can take care of him more." ”
The lard boy hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Master Chu, Boss Bai definitely doesn't need me to say hello, go down the mountain leopard's side, don't talk about the relationship with you."
With the cooperation of this movie, if anyone provokes Ah Rong, he will definitely send that person to sink into the sea. ”
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, in the final analysis, it was still an exchange of interests.
In this case, simply let Yang Luming also go to the rich man to sing.
Wrinkles Huai naturally has no opinion, Yang Luming is Guo Zhenhua's girlfriend, He Guanchang accepted Guo Zhenhua as his godson, so he will pull the relationship from his girlfriend's side.
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was a group of kind, and the unlucky one was his own boss.
As for the impact of open and secret fighting on the company's efficiency, it depends on the means of your own boss.
Not long after, not only Ge Bai came over in person, but even Lucas, another assistant director of the police department, came with him.
The 5 ghost guys saw that Chu Xiangqian had another Fengyue film in his hand, and immediately knew that there was money to be made, and now they have a good attitude towards Chu Xiangqian.
Lu Guohua once again felt that Chu Xiangqian's network on Hong Kong Island was far more powerful than he imagined.
This is the Commissioner of the Police and the two assistant commissioners, which means that Chu Xiangqian is doing business on Hong Kong Island, and the bad guy will never trouble him.
On the contrary, if he has a conflict with someone, or even a grudge, black and white will help him deal with that person.
Just think about his film company, if these two groups of people come to the door to make trouble in three days, Lu Guohua feels that he will simply quit the Hong Kong Island film circle.
After a few polite exchanges, they went straight into the small screening room.
After watching it for half an hour, Ge Bai, Lucas, Blair, Charles and Hahn have basically determined that the box office of this movie on Ah San's side should not be worse than that of a futon.
Just the scene under the quilt makes people's blood boil.
And a futon, a distribution company that they opened together, earned 60,000 pounds.
These days, after quietly distributing the futon to Austria, South Africa, and even England, although the box office is not high, it has added up to a net profit of 50,000 or 60,000 pounds.
That's 10 films a year, that's a net profit of more than a million pounds.
And it's clean money that can be justifiably used.
And Chu Xiangqian is already discussing with Lu Guohua the price of this movie for distribution in Cathay Cinemas.
The two didn't dwell too much, and the price of 200,000 was quickly agreed.
Then he said this, the serpentine hand's film, which had been airlifted back to Xinjiapo.
The Lu family didn't think too much about the cooperation.
Just like Chu Xiangqian said, if the Lu family does not cooperate, there is a high probability that there will be a third Chinese cinema line in Nanyang in the future.
Originally, the confrontation between the two countries would turn into a three-country war.
And it seems that Chu Xiangqian's addition of rice fish, as well as the financial resources added up by the Nanyang Fu family, will never be worse than the Lu family.
In addition, the Lu family itself plans to open up new markets on Hong Kong Island, if he does not agree to Chu Xiangqian's cooperation, he will have trouble opening a cinema in Nanyang.
But the Lu family's business on Hong Kong Island should not be stable.
It can even affect businesses outside of the film company.
It's really better to promise Chu Xiangqian, and try to cooperate with 8 cinemas in Xinjiapo and Kuala Lumpur first.
At the same time, it can also gather everyone's strength to deal with the Shaw Brothers Father and Son Cinema together.
Therefore, the Lu family not only took two days to think about it, but also agreed to release the serpentine trick, and also cooperated to open 8 movie theaters.
The serpentine film's film has also been flown to Xinjiapo, and if it is faster, it will be released in cinemas in Xinjiapo the day after tomorrow.
Now that this lard boy movie is released, there is naturally no problem.
It's just that if this movie wants to be released, you have to wait at least three weeks and queue up for release.
The same is true for the 'Chu's Cinema Line' on Hong Kong Island.
Lard Boy, Xiashan Leopard and Jiang Zhen have no opinion on this.
Anyway, Chu Xiangqian has already said that the serpentine Diao will be released, and they will take over this movie.
After the movie was played, Ge Bai first muttered a few words to Blair, Lucas and others, and then walked up to Chu Xiangqian with a smile and said, "Chu, how about 30,000 pounds?" ”
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and said without thinking about it, "50,000, and if you are willing to issue it to Europe, 10,000 pounds for a country, or 100,000 pounds for a package."
However, I can take a step back, you can pay 50,000 pounds first, and the remaining 50,000 will be paid in a month. ”
After listening to Wrinkled Huai's whispered translation, the lard boy and the leopard who rushed over were all ecstatic.
100,000 pounds is still a big risk for Ge Bai and others.
After all, although a few of them are optimistic and think that the box office should not be worse than the futon, the whole futon only earned 12 or 30,000 pounds.
But think about it, Da O, South Africa, and England also have a net profit of fifty or sixty thousand.
Ah San also made a net profit of 60,000 pounds.
If the release goes to Europe, it should not be difficult to double the box office.
In other words, he worked hard to find a relationship on his side, and finally earned half of it with Chu Xiangqian.
This is a bit unwilling.
But Chu Xiangqian is not a rookie, "Mr. Director, the first issuance is indeed a lot of trouble, and it is even said that it is all because of your relationship and financial resources that you have opened up the distribution in various places.
But we all understand that the first futon has actually allowed you to establish relationships with theaters around the world, which is equivalent to opening up the distribution in various places.
It is not difficult to expect a 3% increase in the box office.
Moreover, we sold the futon to you for distribution at a price equal to 1 pound equal to free delivery, which is already a huge profit and full of sincerity.
Now that the second movie that will also hit the box office has appeared, it is no longer you begging the theater owners of various countries, but they are begging you to hand it over to them to release.
After all, no one is going to have trouble with money. ”
Ge Bai and the others suddenly had nothing to say, and these guys were not pure businessmen.
Politicians are more likely to compromise and are willing to bet once the interests are sufficient.
Chu Xiangqian said again, "Gentlemen, the third movie of the same type has already been scripted, and I believe it will be released in less than a month." We need to look at the long term now.
If the box office of this movie does not meet expectations, I don't need to mention it, and I will take the initiative to make a profit in the third part. ”
Ge Bai immediately heard the problem in these words, "No, you can't increase the price of the third part, otherwise so many of us will not earn as much as you." ”
Chu shrugged forward, "I can agree, but the payment must be done according to the contract, otherwise I have the right to hand over the film to other distribution companies in Europe for distribution." ”
"NONONO", Ge Bai and the others immediately quit, the market was opened up by themselves and others, if they were picked up cheaply by others, it would be better to kill them.
Charles hurriedly said, "Chu, we have an agreement to have at least 5 movies a year. ”
Chu shrugged forward, "But we didn't say which type of movie it was five into. ”
"Fake", Charles immediately scolded, but Chu Xiangqian's words were not wrong at all.
After discussing with a few ghosts, they could only agree to Chu Xiangqian's request, and the money must be remitted to the designated account within seven days after the release.
Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian has the right to change distributors for the next movie.
A lawyer was called, and the contract was signed quickly.
By the way, Lu Guohua's Cathay Cinema Line also signed a distribution contract.
Even 200,000 was put into the account as soon as possible.
Chu Xiangqian called Lard Boy, Xiashan Leopard, and Jiang Zhen over and said, "The three, before the release, you will get 100,000 pounds and 200,000 Hong Kong dollars for the distribution of foreign cities, are you still satisfied?" ”
"Full and satisfied" lard boy three people at this time are excited, although they can only get 50,000 pounds and 200,000 Hong Kong dollars first.
But this money alone is equivalent to 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
After waiting for a month, the remaining 50,000 pounds, depending on the ghost guy's attitude towards Chu Xiangqian, there will definitely be no problem in returning the money.
And it only took half a month for himself and others to make this movie, and the cost was only 70,000 Hong Kong dollars.
If 10 films are made a year, even if only three or four are box office hits, there will be four or five million.
The three of them divided one point, and more than one million was simply picked up for nothing.
As for Chu Xiangqian just saying something, he took 30,000 pounds + 60,000 Hong Kong dollars for nothing, and the three of them didn't mind at all now.
In fact, this return on investment is far higher than I expected before.
The three of them are not novices, and they know that if there is no Chu Xiangqian as a middleman, let alone sell the distribution rights in India, Europe, Daao and South Africa for 100,000 pounds.
If you talk about it yourself, it is high to be able to sell it for 10,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds.
Of course, in the future, will the three of them feel that the 30% commission is too high, and then have opinions in their hearts, Chu Xiangqian doesn't care at all.
Even if they reached a cooperation with Ge Bai, Charles and others in private, this cooperation would not last long.
Do you really think the ghost guy is a good person?
Once a movie fails at the box office, Charles and others will give 10,000 pounds to lard boy and others, which is already considered a high price.
and expects them to break out again in the next part, so they have not broken off their cooperation.
And Chu Xiangqian has the relationship between Margaret and Norton, and when negotiating, he will not be at an absolute disadvantage.
Of course, if the box office is not good, it is inevitable that the price will be lowered.
But Chu Xiangqian has the cinema chain on Hong Kong Island, as well as the cinema distribution advantage in Southeast Asia.
It's completely okay not to sell it first, wait until the box office in Southeast Asia is a big hit, and then talk to Ge Bai and others about distribution.
Therefore, whoever controls the theater chain and distribution is the boss.
In the afternoon, Ge Bai and others put the first 50,000 pounds into the bank account.
The lard boy pulled Chu Xiangqian and whispered, "Master Chu, if you don't give us all the pounds, you can take the 200,000 yuan from Cathay Cinemas, and we will give you another 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." ”
Chu Xiangqian silently calculated, 3% of 50,000 pounds is 15,000 pounds, and 240,000 pounds when converted into Hong Kong dollars.
Cathay's 200,000 is 3% of 60,000.
It is equivalent to just helping to release a movie, and he will soon be able to get 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
A month after the movie was shown in other cities, another 15,000 pounds, or 240,000 Hong Kong dollars, was credited to the account.
It is equivalent to one afternoon, Chu Qianqian transferred 540,000.
The money is really like picking up money.
Chu Xiangqian nodded at the lard boy, and knew in his heart that the lard boy and the others wanted to transfer their property.
Hong Kong dollars are converted to US dollars and British pounds, and there will be transaction records when you go to the bank to exchange them.
In private, you have to give the money bank 8% to 12%, or even 15% of the commission.
The lard boy who got the money didn't pull Chu to go to the rich man to drink.
But Charles and the others were still worried about the sweat and blood, "Chu, don't forget that we have another big business." ”
Lu Guohua, Wrinkled Huai, Lard Boy, Xiashan Leopard and Jiang Zhen all had surprised expressions on their faces.
Chu Xiangqian called Zhang Rongfei over, "Liang Zai Rong, give you a task, you and Ah Huai will entertain Lu Sheng and Brother Zai in the evening." ”
Zhang Rongfei nodded hurriedly, but said, "Don't worry, big guy, I will listen to Uncle Huai's orders." ”
"There is a future", Chu Xiangqian smiled and patted Zhang Rongfei's shoulder, "Ah Huai, then you are responsible." ”
Wrinkles looked at Zhang Rongfei gratefully.
Not to mention that the wrinkles at this time have not yet started, even if the future Golden Harvest becomes a behemoth, he has to be polite in the face of those club bosses.
It doesn't matter if you offend them.
Otherwise, if you casually find a few dwarf mules to make trouble, the crew will have to stop filming.
And to stop for an extra day is a waste of money.
Moreover, the crew went to other people's places to film, and Golden Harvest still had to pay the fees.
On the contrary, Shaw Brothers does not have to worry so much about this.
If someone dares to mess with the crew of Shaw Brothers, as soon as the TV station reported that it was the club that couldn't eat and walked around.
And Uncle Shao's social status is much higher than that of Wrinkled Huai.
In addition, the Shaw brothers are not casually talking, their family's influence in Nanyang is actually greater.
