Chief Player of Film and Television World

Chapter 42 Lai Luo came to find

After a small-scale internal screening on the opening day, it received unanimous praise from everyone.

The next day, Wei Hongsheng immediately took the sample film to discuss the release with theaters and distribution companies. After several days of hard work, he finally reached an agreement on distribution and release.

There were only a few distribution companies in Xiangjiang in the 1960s. After some comparisons, Wei Hongsheng agreed to sign a distribution contract with Shaw Brothers.

Shaw Brothers was formerly known as Nanyang Film Company. In 1958, Run Run Shaw established Shaw Brothers and took over the production business of Shaw Brothers. From then on, the two Shaw Brothers produced, distributed and established theaters.

Shaw Brothers' later glory.

Choosing Shaw Brothers as a distributor will allow the film to be released in more theaters in Hong Kong, although it will charge a high profit share. Moreover, with Shaw Brothers' distribution network, the film will be able to enter Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places.

The income is also considerable.

After signing the contract, Big Hero entered the release process. Under the operation of Shaw Brothers, it was quickly released in its own theaters, and other theaters will gradually release it within a few days.

Once Big Hero was released, it went from low to high in just two or three days. The reputation of the movie, which was not a movie star, a famous director, or a famous company, spread like a virus among people who could afford to go to the cinema.

People who have watched the movie have mixed reviews about the movie, but no one will deny one thing - it's hard enough! It's enjoyable to watch!

Zhang Jin brought new shooting and editing ideas to Wei Hongsheng, abandoning the previous one-shot fight editing method and focusing on highlighting the thrills of the fight. After all, the audience does not watch movies to watch actors perform kung fu routines on the screen, otherwise they would

Isn't it good to watch people performing on the streets? You can also go whoring for free.

The film was released in various theaters in Hong Kong for a week and a half, and finally earned a box office revenue of 1.22 million. It shocked the Hong Kong film industry and became the first film to exceed a million box office.

Director Wei Hongsheng and leading actor Luo Hao suddenly became celebrities, attracted many interviews from newspapers and magazines, and became the most talked about figures during this period.

And Yongsheng Film Company has also entered the field of vision of the film industry boss Shaw Brothers. The movie "Big Hero" has done well at the local box office. With this shareholder momentum, it will be released in Southeast Asia and Taiwan as soon as possible, and it will surely achieve greater glory!

He Qisheng saw the potential of Yongsheng Film Company and invited Zhang Jin out for dinner and meetings several times, promising that if Zhang Jin borrowed money from Hang Seng Bank, he would definitely give him a preferential and low interest rate.

"Hey, Ah Jin, I'm so famous recently! People recognize me when I walk on the street. I also noticed that many girls are secretly looking at me. Do you think my handsomeness has finally been discovered?"

Drunk Luo Hao was lying on the sofa, talking excitedly about his situation during this period.

"Don't be so loud, Xiao Shui has already fallen asleep! She has her first day of school tomorrow and must be in good condition." Zhang Jin reminded.

Luo Hao waved his hand: "Your villa is so big, and Xiaoshui sleeps on the second floor. How could it disturb her? Hey, let me ask you, when do you plan to make your next movie?"

"If you have money, keep shooting."

"You have no money? Don't be ridiculous! This movie made millions! Hiccup!"

"Are you stupid? The box office of 1.2 million is divided by the distribution company and theater chain. I only got about 700,000. I invested millions to make movies, and now I don't even get back. How can I have any spare money?

Make another one?" Zhang Jin asked.

During this period, he spent one million on the movie, another five hundred thousand on the Grizzly Bear, two hundred thousand on Wang Weimin, another seven hundred thousand on buying a villa and decorating it, and adding in some miscellaneous expenses, it was close to

Three million, the first pot of gold I got from gambling, was just gone.

Fortunately, in the past six months or so, he has also received hundreds of thousands of monthly dividends from gambling, which adds up to three to four million. However, he does not plan to continue investing this money in the film company, but plans to take it out.

Win people's hearts.

In a month or two, the major events in the original plot will probably happen. Lei Luo is determined to change Jianghu's talker, Doong Zai forcefully contacts Fat Zai Chao, and Yan Tong rebels against Ding Ye and attempts to kill Lei Luo.

He must seize this opportunity and complete control of the Kowloon Walled City.

Black, he is the biggest. White, he also wants to be on an equal footing with Lei Luo!

"Hey, Ah Hao, when I wanted the masters in the ring to support me unconditionally when things happened, do you think it's still possible now?"

"Support! I will support you! I will support you even to the death! Hiccup!" Luo Hao, drunkenly, stretched out a finger and said, "Now you are everyone's God of Wealth. If you don't support me, who will you support?"

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The next day, Zhang Jin sent Xiao Shui to Maria Middle School. This middle school is a girls' boarding school with a five-year academic system. The annual tuition is HK$120,000.

After Zhang Jin accompanied Xiao Shui to complete the admission procedures and told her to study hard and call him if she had any trouble, he left.

After getting in the car, Zhang Jin received a system notification. He knew without looking that his number of good deeds had increased. However, level three good deeds required 400 tasks, and he was too lazy to look at it now.

He plans to complete the good deeds through various charities in the future, so he will put them aside for now. Anyway, whether there are mission rewards or not does not have much impact on him at the moment.

Zhang Jin drove to the Central Commercial Building where the company is located. As soon as he entered the company gate, the front desk told him that there was a guest looking for him. When he came to the conference room, he discovered that the visitor turned out to be Lard Boy.

"Hello, Zhang Sheng, right? If I may excuse you, my name is Lei..." Lardboy stood up and introduced himself.

Zhang Jin waved his hand: "I know who you are, Inspector Lei's lackey, Lardboy, right?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have such a good memory. We only met once outside the Kowloon Walled City, and you remember me." Lardboy said with a smile.

"No, more than once, we also met in the hospital."

"Really? I really have no impression."

Of course you had no impression. At that time, your attention was entirely on the nurse A-Qing.

Zhang Jin asked: "Is there something wrong with Inspector Lei asking you to come to me?"

"Brother Luo wants to meet you, when is it convenient for you?"

“Convenient at any time.”

"How about tonight?"

"OK."

"Then I'll make a reservation at Payton's Western Restaurant in Wan Chai. See you there at seven o'clock in the evening. I'll leave first, but stay here."

"Walk slowly and tell Inspector Lei that I will definitely go."

After seeing off the lard boy, Zhang Jin pondered for a moment, then turned and entered the company.

Although he has no money to start shooting new movies for the time being, he still has to make a plan by listing the movies he plans to make in the future. With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the box office of movies will be higher and higher in the future, and the influence of movies on ordinary people will be

The power is also getting wider and wider.

As the boss of Yongsheng Film Company, he will also benefit from it, and his own influence will receive a certain bonus. His strong personal influence is also one of the ways he can compete with Lei Luo.

In terms of connections, ability and influence, one of him must surpass Lei Luo, otherwise how can he compete with the opponent on the white road!

Of course, increasing his influence does not just rely on making movies. Opening a movie company is only the first step. His goal is to become the uncrowned king of this era.
