Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 30 Choice

The premiere box office of "Chasing Girls" was better than that of "Modern Bodyguard", reaching HK$310,000.

At this time, the total box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has reached 9.37 million Hong Kong dollars. I am afraid that within two days, the box office will exceed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Also on this day, Liang Shuyi received a call from TVB, saying that "Modern Bodyguard" would be delayed until the occupancy rate was less than 10%.

The huge surprise immediately made Su Cheng quite happy. It seems that Boss Shao is not so unreasonable after all!

…

Two days later, at noon on February 3, Liang Shuyi, who had been paying attention to the box office, communicated with TVB every once in a while. At around 1 p.m., she was told that the box office of the movie "Modern Bodyguard" officially exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. As for

As for the specific figures, since the movie is still in theaters, accurate information is not available for the time being.

However, with this news, everything is OK!

Immediately, TVB interrupted the news. Liang Shuyi also conveyed the good news to the waiting reporters.

In an instant, on this afternoon, many newspapers began to add additional issues, spreading the latest news. As a result, the number of people watching "Modern Bodyguard" increased instead of falling. Even the movie "Chasing Girls", which was currently being released, also benefited.

Yes, the box office has increased a lot.

One night passed.

September 4th, early morning.

"Modern Bodyguard" has been in theaters for 17 days, with a total box office of HK$10.38 million.

At the same time, "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing, after three days of release, the box office exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 1.27 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said to be a great success! After all, the investment in "Modern Bodyguard" was 7 million

Hong Kong dollars, but "Chasing Girls" is only a million investment. Wouldn't you be happy to have such good results?

…

Just when there were reports outside that "Modern Bodyguard" broke the box office history of Hong Kong movies, Golden Harvest Film Company, Zou Wenhuai once again found He Guanchang and sighed: "It's incredible!"

This time, He Guanchang did not refute. After all, the results are there!

However, Ho Guanchang, who didn't care about the three Xu brothers, solemnly said: "Ah Huai, Aaron's "Junior Brother" will be released soon. Even if it can't surpass "Modern Bodyguard", I'm afraid the box office won't be too low."

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai nodded, then thought of something, frowned and said: "I'm not worried about Aaron's movie, but once the release of "Modern Bodyguard" is taken over by Shaw Brothers, I'm afraid the media will talk nonsense."

The underlying meaning is that Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua will definitely take this opportunity to suppress Jiahe. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Guanwen and others are artists under Jiahe. Why did they give up such a big money-making opportunity?

What about Shaw who can't be dealt with?

It seems that Xu Guanwen and others did not have a satisfactory life in Jiahe!

Zou Wenhuai's words did not make He Guanchang feel a little angry. Instead, he felt a little joyful in his heart. He was eager to let Xu Guanwen and others leave Jiahe! By then, Aaron would have become a trump card! Jiahe's treasure would also be on him.

.The others, Sammo Hung and others, were automatically ignored by him.

After thinking about it, He Guanchang said: "It's too early to say anything about this. Let's first see how high the box office of Aaron's "Junior Brother" will reach. In addition..."

After a pause, He Guanchang continued: "I think Tengyue Entertainment is unique in movie promotion. Why don't we learn from it? Maybe it will stimulate the fans who go to watch it."

"Oh? That's a good idea! I'll leave all the publicity matters to you," Zou Wenhuai said.

He Guanchang nodded and said: "No problem!"

…

Tengyue Entertainment Company.

Liang Shuyi found Su Cheng and asked: "Boss, how do you reply to Wireless on this matter?"

"Let's wait until the movie is finished!" Waving his hand, Su Cheng said seriously: "According to my estimation, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" will be around 18 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current sales of Bay Island, Singapore, island countries, and other countries in the past years,

According to market trends, the total box office will not be less than HK$45 million. According to Shaw Brothers' distribution ratio, the revenue will not be less than HK$15 million."

After a pause, Su Cheng said: "Except for the box office share in Hong Kong, all distribution in other countries and regions will be handled by Shaw Brothers themselves. We will only collect the portion we deserve. As for "Modern Bodyguard", say less.

It also needs 11 million Hong Kong dollars. If not, it can be handed over to Jiahe to issue it."

"11 million Hong Kong dollars? Doesn't that mean that our company can get about 21 million Hong Kong dollars for this drama. After removing the cost of 7 million Hong Kong dollars, we can make a huge profit of 14 million Hong Kong dollars?" Liang Shuyi said in shock.

Smiling, Su Cheng said: "Manager Liang, after excluding our previous publicity expenses and about two months of employees' wages, the profit is about 11 million Hong Kong dollars to 12 million Hong Kong dollars! However, the premise is,

You can sign the contract with Shaw Brothers."

"Don't worry, boss, I'm confident in my heart and I'm not afraid of Shao's trouble!" At this moment, Liang Shuyi was full of confidence.

…

In a small restaurant.

Sammo Hung took Yuen Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma and others while drinking, and said casually: "You have all seen the news published in the newspaper today, right? The movie "Modern Bodyguard" has been

It cost over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and I’m afraid that by the time it’s finished, it will probably have a box office of 15 million Hong Kong dollars at least.”

Yuan Biao and others echoed: "Elder brother, those Xu brothers are really amazing!"

Smiling softly, Sammo Hung said: "You don't understand this. It's not that Xu Guanwen and others are great, but the script written by Boss Su is great!"

Before everyone could react, Sammo Hung continued: "In addition to the movie "Modern Bodyguard", did you know that the movie "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing also broke one million Hong Kong dollars at the box office? This is only 3 days? In fact,

It only lasts two days and one night. When the movie is finished, how much will it cost? 7 million Hong Kong dollars, 8 million Hong Kong dollars? Will it be another movie worth over 10 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"Ah! This..." Yuan Biao and others were indeed restrained.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean?" The first person to feel that Sammo Hung had some other purpose in saying this was Yuan Biao.

Glancing at everyone, Sammo Hung said: "As you all know, the purpose of establishing Garbo Film Company was to allow my brothers to have a job and live better. However, I made several movies, but the box office was not satisfactory.

"

After a pause, Sammo Hung continued: "Look at Aaron again. With Mr. He's care, he is better than us."

After all, Golden Harvest has no intention of giving more money to Sammo Hung, and it has no intention of vigorously developing Garbo Film Company. They are all doing the trouble themselves. When a movie is released, they will arrange it directly with Golden Harvest.

But what about Jackie Chan? Jiahe spent a lot of money to sign the contract. How much? 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars! The box office is much higher than any movie made by Sammo Hung!

According to internal information, once Jackie Chan's "The Young Master" becomes a hit at the box office, Golden Harvest will send him to Hollywood to pursue his career, just like Bruce Lee did back then.

As for Sammo Hung, he seems to be a transparent person.

As a senior brother, how can you be so willing?

The movie "Beware of Little Hands" they were filming recently, Sammo Hung could feel that once this movie was released, it would definitely be much better than the ones he had shot before. In private, he also heard Wang Jing mention that Boss Su

I admire him very much.

Once you join Tengyue Entertainment, except for Sammo Hung who can be the director, all members of the Hong Family Class will receive a basic salary of HK$2,000 per month as long as they work in the company.

In addition, Tengyue Entertainment has a lot of scripts, so they are not afraid of running out of scenes to film.

For directors, Tengyue Entertainment will be even more generous, with a bonus of 5% to 10% of the film's profits.

Take "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing. Once the box office exceeds 10 million Hong Kong dollars, Tengyue Entertainment will receive 6 million Hong Kong dollars. The profit will be 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Wong Jing will receive a director bonus of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!

And if it were Sammo Hung, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so much, but at least there would be a dividend of HK$350,000.

Of course, Tengyue Entertainment's dividends are specifically aimed at the local box office in Hong Kong. Distribution to other regions and countries has nothing to do with them.

In addition, there is a bonus for scripts. If the movie is approved by the company and put into production, when the movie makes a profit, there will be a bonus ranging from 3% to 8%.

Although joining Tengyue Entertainment Company will have certain restrictions on freedom, it is a great thing for the entire Hong family. After all, in addition to the monthly basic salary, film remuneration, and dividends after the film is completed, everyone

Having a share is just a matter of more or less.

Coupled with He Guanchang's recent attitude towards them and Wang Jing's sincere attempts to win over them, Sammo Hung hesitated for a long time before expressing his thoughts in person at this time.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Finally, Lin Zhengying said: "Are we leaving Jiahe now?"

Waving his hand, Sammo Hung said: "No! Wait until "Little Hands Up" is finished and Aaron goes to Hollywood."

This was a time period he chose after careful consideration. After all, Sammo Hung didn’t know if every script written by Boss Su would do so well at the box office?

Moreover, Aaron was in Xiangjiang, and they were unwilling to rip off their skin. Who allowed him to have a "father-son" relationship with Jiahe He Guanchang in name only!
