Dreams of the Fragrant River

Kang Jianfei walked out of Biliver Hills triumphantly, and until the three got into the taxi, Zeng Bolin still couldn't believe what had just happened. [;Starting]

Little Alan Ryder not only agreed to help with the distribution, but also reached a verbal agreement with Kang Jianfei, saying that 20th Century Fox could contact 20th Century Fox for films after Oriental DreamWorks. 20th Century Fox will help distribute the film as long as it is of good quality.

what does that mean?

In the whole of Hong Kong, only Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest can cooperate with Hollywood giants, and Oriental DreamWorks has now become the third one. If DreamWorks' movies are selling well in Asia, it is qualified to challenge Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, then Oriental DreamWorks can already be on an equal footing with them in name.

In the future, those film company bosses and directors in Hong Kong will be polite when they see Kang Jianfei, because maybe one day they will ask Kang Jianfei to help contact the European and American distribution.

"I'll get off here!" Liu Hongsheng said, pointing to the road sign ahead.

Kang Jianfei asked, "Don't you think about working in my company?"

Liu Hongsheng shook his head and said, "I'm studying music production and arrangement, and I'm not interested in movies."

Kang Jianfei said, "I also have a record company in Hong Kong."

Liu Hongsheng smiled and said, "Forget it."

After Liu Hongsheng got out of the car and left, Kang Jianfei felt quite sorry. Liu Hongsheng is quite capable of helping the stranger he just met to speak up, and he can also help contact the distribution manager of 20th Century Fox through his classmates and friends.

This kind of person with character and ability is better than a subordinate.

In comparison, the Zeng Bolin brought by Kang Jianfei was much worse. He could only obey orders, and his autonomy was very poor.

However, talents are rare. Zeng Bolin can speak English and understand a little market distribution, so he can barely use it.

The most important thing is that Zeng Bolin is an honest person, and he doesn't have many guts. And he is very diligent in his work, which can make up for the lack of ability.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Alin, keep the contact information of Alan Ryder's assistant."

"Ah... good! Thank you, Mr. Kang." Zeng Bolin was overjoyed. Kang Jianfei's words meant that he would be in charge of the affairs of the United States. Even though it was just to get in touch with 20th Century Fox, those few phone numbers could make him a hundred times more valuable at once, and he would have his nostrils turned upside down when he went out to face the boss of a small film company.

Now that everything is on the right track, Kang Jianfei's stay in the United States has little meaning. The temporary theater line has already been drawn, because the film is a big hit in several southern states in the United States, Jiang Zhiqiang took the opportunity to pass the news to several Chinese media, and took advantage of the trend to hype the film. The box office in the last week was so much better. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be painted early.

Temporary theaters in 25 theaters run for 30 days. The final box office was more than 1.375 million US dollars, of which Kang Jianfei divided the production into 310,000. This box office is obviously not enough for theaters and theaters to earn. In the last two weeks, the number of screenings in temporary theaters has been reduced. Instead, show other old movies and Chinese-language movies to increase theater revenue.

Until the temporary theater chain was disbanded, plus the income from selling popcorn and beverages, Kang Jianfei also received 260,000 US dollars in theater chain and theater revenue.

After tossing around for so long in the temporary theater chain, Kang Jianfei plus the production income of 570,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars, has almost caught up with the box office in Hong Kong.

The box office of the Martin Cinema has not been counted, and the box office income of 20th Century Fox will be released later. Kang Jianfei's trip to the United States can be said to have made a lot of money.

If not the performance in the Chinese community and southern states. It is impossible for 21st Century Fox to reduce the distribution fee and give Kang Jianfei 19% of the box office.

Kang Jianfei's plan to use the box office results as a stepping stone was completely successful. As for the 150 film copies he produced, they have also been sold to 20th Century Fox, earning a small rental fee.

…………

Los Angeles International Airport. Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang getting out of the taxi, Kang Jianfei hurried over to shake hands with him and smiled, "Haha, Brother Jiang, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

"Happy and happy!" Jiang Zhiqiang's face was slightly tired, but there was more joy in that tiredness.

To operate a temporary theater chain for only one month, it is necessary to minimize the cost from all aspects, and it is impossible to replace Kang Jianfei.

Jiang Zhiqiang did it all by himself. This guy slept no more than 4 hours a day for a month. He stayed in front of the phone anytime and anywhere to command or answer reports. In the middle of the night, he was still making plans for screenings.

Of course, because of Jiang Zhiqiang's efforts, the general manager's salary of 20,000 yuan was added when he finally divided the money.

The two got on the plane back to Hong Kong, and both sat in their seats and closed their eyes in deep thought. Kang Jianfei thought about the next development of the company, but Jiang Zhiqiang thought about the possibility of moving this temporary theater chain model to Hong Kong to operate.

After the plane entered the stratosphere, Jiang Zhiqiang asked, "Brother Kang, are you interested in starting your own theater chain in Hong Kong?"

Kang Jianfei asked back, "Brother Jiang has the idea of ​​setting up a theater chain?"

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "If there is a problem with the cooperation between Oriental DreamWorks and Princess Jin, I would like to come out and cooperate with you, Brother Kang, to build a theater chain."

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I remember that Anle Films is mainly engaged in cinemas, right?

There is a difference between running a cinema and running a cinema chain. For example, Anle Films operates cinemas. They buy their own films and show them themselves. The cinemas are all their own, and even the land is their own.

But Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Princess Jin are not. A large part of the theaters in the three theater chains are not owned by the theater chain owners. Some are built by themselves, with land and facades; some are rented from other people's cinemas; some cinemas are self-joining cooperation; some simply rent a facade and install seats and screens to become cinemas.

When a movie is shown, generally 6% to 8% of the box office revenue goes to the theater company, and more than 40% of the box office revenue goes to the specific theater.

In general, building a theater chain is much more risky than operating a theater, and you will lose money if you are not careful.

Kang Jianfei also wants to have his own theater chain, but not now, he does not have such strong economic strength to run the theater chain.

However, if he really wants to be a theater chain, Jiang Zhiqiang is the best choice for the person in charge of the theater chain.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, I don't know anything about theater chains. If you want to cooperate with me, you have to plan to lose money."

"I have confidence in your film company." Jiang Zhiqiang also smiled.

The Anle Cinema Line of the Jiang family only shows Western films. It has always been very difficult to operate. Last year's big sale was only a special case, but it can never be repeated.

As the No. 3 figure of Anle Films, Jiang Zhiqiang actually has very little spare money in his hand. This time he made 2 million Hong Kong dollars on a trip to the United States, which really made Jiang Zhiqiang happy.

The two of you chatted with each other, and in the United States behind them, there is a Chinese-language movie that is getting more and more attention.

Only in the Martin Cinema, it won a box office of 5.73 million when the painting was finished. According to the previous agreement, Kang Jianfei can get 20.5% of the box office. Calculate all taxes. Also get $1.07 million.

until now. The total box office in the two theaters has reached 7.11 million US dollars, while Cheng Long's US box office is only 8.62 million.

In the last week and a half of Martin's theatrical release, 20th Century Fox finally made a splash, but that publicity campaign was not comparable to Carl Patrick. Except for a few southern states that have already been screened. It was rolled out all over the United States, and 200 screens were tentatively given in the early stage. Soon the number of screens increased to 500, and it stopped when it increased to 550.

In just one week, the box office released by 20th Century Fox broke 10 million, and in this off-season film, it became the biggest dark horse at the US box office.

The article commented: "If you don't look at the skin color of the actors, you will definitely think it is a Hollywood blockbuster."

Then said: "Lin (Qingxia) is a modern version of female Bruce Lee, her fists and feet are very ornamental."

The speeding stunts in the book are worth learning from Hollywood directors. As for the motion design of this movie, all I can say is that the director is a genius. Everything from hammers, wrenches, and shovels to excavators, fire bottles, and chainsaws can be used as weapons, especially in that chainsaw fight. Enough to make your palms sweat..."

With few competitors, and 20th Century Fox's strong distribution capabilities, its box office has been on the rise in this off-season. Until the end of the painting, the box office issued by 20th Century Fox reached 34.06 million.

In addition to the previous box office, the final US box office was 41.16 million US dollars, and Oriental DreamWorks shared 7.04 million US dollars ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ equivalent to more than HK$ million, which is more than the total profit of DreamWorks last year.

The box office of 41.16 million US dollars, which is a terrible number, has been able to rank in the top 15 of the box office in the annual rankings of the United States.

It's still the off-season for the first few months of movies, and the blockbuster movies are waiting for Halloween, Christmas, etc. to come out. At this time, it is temporarily ranked as the champion of the US box office in 1981.

Of course, it can also be said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.

When Zou Wenhuai received a call from an American friend, it happened to be a hot movie, and she felt sour and helpless. The cost of the film is only more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, while the cost is more than 10 million US dollars. The box office gap between the two films is also too big.

Of course, Boss Zou also pinned his hopes on the one he invested in. This Golden Harvest-owned Hollywood movie really made him a face soon after, and it sold $72 million at the U.S. box office, ranking sixth in the U.S. box office in the previous year. However, the cost of this movie is also very stupid. The salary of the actor is 5 million US dollars, and the real money is much less than that...
