Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 96 Big Harvest

Since "Plan A", Hollywood Tengyue Cinemas has successively released three films: "Chasing Girls", "Beware of Little Hands" and "Pretty Girls".

Among them, "Chasing Girls" only received a box office of 3.16 million U.S. dollars. "Beware of Little Hands" was slightly better, with a box office of 4.28 million U.S. dollars. As for "Pretty Girl", it was a bit bleak, with a box office of only 1.03 million U.S. dollars.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately changed his mind and started to release "The Royal Sisters". Unexpectedly, he was really right this time, and the box office exceeded 10 million US dollars in one fell swoop, reaching 11.33 million US dollars.

At this time, "Plan A", produced by Golden Harvest and starring Jackie Chan, was belatedly premiered in Hong Kong.

Since the box office of Wandao exceeded expectations, Zou Wenhuai's confidence has returned again.

It was pretty good, with a box office of HK$670,000 in the premiere. It surged on the second day, soaring to a box office of HK$1.15 million. It dropped slightly on the third day, with a box office of HK$980,000. In just three days, the box office totaled HK$2.8 million.

.It can be regarded as a complete "feeling proud".

…

"Law Enforcement" was quietly released, with a total box office of HK$10.72 million.

Just when Yuan Biao was excited, Su Cheng had already taken Liu Qing and others to Hollywood.

In addition to celebrating the completion of "Back to the Future" directed by Wang Jing, I also wanted to take a look at some of the "local artists" who have signed contracts with the Hollywood Tengyue Entertainment Division.

As soon as we got out of the airport, Wang Jing, Sammo Hung, Johnnie To and others were waiting.

"Thank you boss!"

"Let's go first!" Su Cheng waved his hands, not paying attention to the "respect" from everyone, and took the lead to go outside.

Even in his previous life, Su Cheng himself had never been abroad. At first glance, there was nothing strange about it, except for the different architectural styles and the fact that he was surrounded by foreigners, as if everything was the same everywhere.

After sitting in the car, he slumped there and fell asleep. Flying is not an easy job!

About an hour later, the car stopped.

"Boss, please!"

"here it is?"

"Temporary apartment!" Su Cheng nodded and followed Wang Jing and the others inside.

While walking, he listened to Wang Jing's explanation. After a long time, Su Cheng finally realized that they had rented an apartment based on the "Tengyue Hotel" in Xiangjiang. There were 6 floors, and there were 8 rooms on each floor.

, 2 rooms of about 70 square meters.

Moreover, only "teams" from China are allowed to live here. As for the local ones, only part of the monthly subsidy is given. This is still Shi Nansheng's own decision. According to her words: We want to develop Xiangjiang artists, so naturally we can't do anything.

Everything is fair. In addition, even directors, artists, screenwriters, and other insiders here like to take drugs or go to nightclubs to have sex when they are rich, powerful, and powerful. Although she will develop the "newcomers" here

", but he didn't want the local people in Xiangjiang to be "poisoned". He also specifically asked Sammo Hung to be the supervisor. After all, Brother Hong's martial arts skills are very good! The deterrent effect is naturally sufficient.

Su Cheng was very satisfied with this.

The arranged room was also vacant before. Su Cheng and Liu Qing shared one. As for the others, Wang Jing and the others had also arranged for them.

Not long after, Sammo Hung also brought the food in.

After they had eaten and drank enough and rested for 2 hours, it was about 3 pm in the local time, and everyone went to the Tengyue Entertainment branch together.

"Hello, boss!" Shi Nansheng became more refined after not seeing each other for a while.

On the way to the general manager's office, the system sound kept ringing.

After shielding it, Su Cheng followed Shi Nansheng's guidance and came to the office. Instead of sitting on the manager's chair, he walked to the guest sofa on one side and sat down.

He casually took the information given by Shi Nansheng and flipped through it slowly while listening to her story.

I don't know when this work was completed.

Pick up a cup of warm tea and drink it slowly.

It was only then that Su Cheng began to check the previous "movements" in the system.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing actor Tom Hanks. The reward is the movie "Future"."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing actress Sharon Stone. The reward is the movie "Die Hard"."

"Ding! Congratulations to host actor Jim Carrey for successfully signing the contract. The reward is the movie "Home Alone"."

"Ding! Congratulations to host Phoebe Cates for her successful contract signing. Reward for the movie "Rain Man"."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing the contract with actor Demi Moore. The reward is the movie "The Story of Hachiko"."

The first four people are okay, Su Cheng already knew about it before, but what is going on with Demi Moore? I just thought about letting Phoebe Cates play the heroine in the movie "The Last Love", this

An original “heroine” appeared?

However, the current opponent has just made his debut, and neither his acting skills nor his appearance are in line with Su Cheng's own aesthetics. So he can only feel wronged to her.

The few Hollywood movies he got made Su Cheng quite happy. They were all good movies! At least, they were very attractive in terms of box office.

Although Shi Nansheng called everyone to the company because he came here, some of the people he just met are not all.

Putting down the materials in his hands, he asked: "In addition to recruiting artists, is there any progress in terms of screenwriters and directors?"

"We don't have a screenwriter yet. As for a director, in addition to James Cameron who is still in communication, someone named John Hughes will sign a contract with our company soon."

John Hughes? Isn't he the one who directed the movies "The Breakfast Club" and "Home Alone"?

The world is really small!

However, is this person starting to be a director now? I’m afraid he should still be a screenwriter, right?

Shaking his head and not thinking about this somewhat "metaphysical" question, Su Cheng handed the "Flash Dance" script he brought to Shi Nansheng and said: "Let James Cameron finish his work on True Lies.

As the director of this play, I chose Phoebe Cates as the heroine, and the male lead was between Tom and the two of them. You should know how to persuade James to come to our company, he is a great talent.

Don’t miss it.”

"Okay, boss! I will try my best to sign it." Shi Nansheng said solemnly, tightening the script in his hand.

Afterwards, the two talked about the profits from Hong Kong films released at Tengyue Cinemas.

There are 8 films in total.

Except for "Plan A", everything else has to be brought back to the headquarters this time. After all, it is a Hong Kong film! It is not produced by Hollywood. The profits will not be considered as divisions until "Back to the Future" is released.

Over here.

"Dragon Tiger" made a profit of 21.5 million U.S. dollars. "Modern Bodyguard" made a profit of 2.7 million U.S. dollars. "Chasing Girls" made a profit of 1.5 million U.S. dollars. "Happy Ghost" made a profit of 7 million U.S. dollars. "Beware of Little Hands" made a profit of 2.1 million U.S. dollars. "Pretty Girl"

"Aberdeen" made a profit of 500,000 US dollars. "Royal Sister" made a profit of 6 million US dollars.

A total of 41.3 million US dollars. About 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why Shi Nansheng did not let Shi Nansheng transfer the money directly to the account at the headquarters of Tengyue Entertainment Company in Xiangjiang was that Su Cheng knew that by 1983, the value of this money would have appreciated to about 320 million Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, he has already asked Liang Shuyi to register a new account at the headquarters, which is all in US dollars. Generally, he will not misappropriate it at will. When 1983 is over, it will not matter whether it is converted to Hong Kong dollars or still US dollars.

Already.

When I saw the financial statements, for a moment, Su Chengdu thought that all the Hong Kong films he produced would be released here in North America. He was simply robbing money! The profits were really too high.

In just a few months, I can earn more than I did in Xiangjiang in a year!
