78 on painting, box office

"My conditions are very simple. The share ratio is the same as Jiahe, and the terms of cooperation are the same as Jiahe. If you agree, I will print out the contract and sign it immediately." Shao Yifu said cheerfully, leaning slightly on the armrest of the sofa, holding a tea cup.

After two people have cooperated once, a lot of twists and turns can be saved.

Zhang Guobin nodded slightly: "Is Shaw Brothers' artist library open to DreamWorks for free?"

"Free and open?" Shao Yifu frowned: "Is Jiahe's artist library open to your company for free? Mr. Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"There are not as many famous artists in Jiahe as there are in Shaw Brothers. What's more, what's more important in Jiahe is the director and the martial arts team. Famous stars have their own companies." Zhang Guobin reminded.

"This is actually a free openness."

"Do I still value other stars from Golden Harvest, or in other words, do I still value Shaw Brothers directors?" It's not that Shaw Brothers directors are incompetent, but there are too few available ones.

After all, TVB is really a good place to continuously create stars, and TVB’s artist training class is full of talents. When you watch Golden Harvest, you will see the director, and when you watch Shaw Brothers, you will see the artists. The two film companies have their own emphasis, even if Shaw Brothers stops producing movies

, TVB stars can only survive for another twenty years just by filming TV series.

Shao Yifu was left speechless.

Zhang Guobin continued: "Furthermore, I chose "The Flag Soldiers of Hong Kong and Province" to be released in Shaw Brothers theaters. It continues the violent aesthetics of "A Better Tomorrow". This is a box office guarantee for Shaw Brothers. I believe it will not let people down.

Shaw Brothers is losing money."

"I will try my best to release more suitable movies on Shaw Brothers in the future."

As for what the subject matter and type of a suitable movie are, and how much money you can make,

Then the benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom, and everyone takes what they need.

At present, Hong Kong has not promulgated the Film Censorship Ordinance Chapter 392 of Hong Kong Island Laws. There is no classification system for violent aesthetic films with crime themes such as "Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and no restrictions on movie viewing groups. Therefore, film companies are instinctively inclined to be more explosive.

Weird and gimmicky movie themes, such as crime, murder, fantasy, etc.

Shao Yifu really likes "The Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong" very much, especially the speeding scene in "The Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong", which is exciting and explosive, and is an enhanced visual experience.

Film is, after all, a visual art.

Shaw Yifu sighed: "It is not realistic to open the artist library for free, but I can promise you that as long as the movie you shoot is released in Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers will let you use the artists for free. If the movie you shoot is not drawn in Shaw Brothers, the commission will be

Ten percent is taken from the artist's remuneration. This money is said to be taken from the artist, but in fact it is still taken from you."

Shao Yifu's eyes showed shrewdness: "Unless you don't want to cooperate with Shaw Brothers artists anymore."

"Haha, Mr. Shaw is joking. Shaw Brothers' artists have outstanding business capabilities and are famous. I am making a movie in Xiangjiang. How can I not use Shaw Brothers' artists?"

"However, I am very satisfied that Mr. Shao can make concessions in the contract. Thank you, Mr. Shao." Zhang Guobin extended his hand.

Shao Yifu clasped his hands.

As soon as the two shook hands, they separated immediately, and the cooperation was completed.

"Chu Yuan, go and agree to the contract." Shao Yifu said to a Shaw Brothers director next to him who was watching the sample film at the same time.

"Yes, Shao Sheng." Chu Yuan immediately left to prepare the contract. Half an hour later, Zhang Guobin and Shao Yifu signed the contract in the office. They shook hands and thanked each other again. Shao Yifu sent Chu Yuan to see Zhang Guobin leave. On the bottom of Shaw's building,

Chu Yuan personally asked Zhang Guobin for his contact information and praised Mr. Zhang for his unique personality in making movies, and unique works have the most soul and are the easiest to sell.

This time, after Da Bohao watched Zhang Guobin discuss business with Shao Yifu, he did not express any dissatisfaction with Shao Yifu, because he had a vague feeling that Brother Bing seemed to have made a profit?

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest started pumping mode when the suppression was ineffective, and opened their resource library to Zhang Guobin. In fact, they wanted DreamWorks to produce more blockbuster movies, and the two theaters pumped more blood. Little did they know that a giant in the film industry

He is about to be fed step by step.

End of December.

Christmas.

Hong Kong is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the streets are noisy and lively.

On this day, the shops on Tung Choi Street and Fa Yuen Street were full of people, and many sneakers, clothing, and bags were sold to the breaking point. On this day, Yau Ma Tei nightclubs, saunas, bathrooms, and gambling stalls were all crowded with VIPs. One day in the hall

The oral income exceeded 3 million Hong Kong dollars. On this day, "Happy Ghost" was released at Golden Harvest Cinema...

At the entrance of Mong Kok Cinema and the ticket office, there is a long queue like a dragon. People with their families, couples in love, and classmates on dates are queuing down the stairs one by one. There are people holding scalpers on both sides of the stairs.

The popular "Happy Ghost" series became popular as soon as it was released. The movie plot, actors, and movie-watching atmosphere all appealed to the people of Hong Kong. Laughing theaters are second only to horror movies as an environment for picking up girls. Laughter

They casually hugged shoulders and held hands, everything seemed affectionate and affectionate, which was acceptable.

The family-friendly theme of "Happy Ghost" was a great success, and after the movie ended, some funny NG scenes during the filming were edited into a collection and placed after the end of the film, which even surprised the audience, especially the scene where a group of young actresses were having fun and acting coquettishly during the filming.

The children watched the scene with joy, and so did the parents. It is said that some idiots bought more than a dozen movie tickets repeatedly just to see the NG scene of Li Lizhen's one-piece swimsuit and waited until the end of the movie before entering.

February 4, 1982, New Year's Eve.

"Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" was screened online at Shaw Brothers Theater with sufficient publicity.

With its crime theme that reflects social hot topics and the hot car racing scenes, "The Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" defeated many martial arts and comedies released at the same time, and won a box office of 10.3 million in one month, which is unparalleled

Crossing the 10 million box office threshold. "Happy Ghost" won 14 million box office in just over a month, with a total box office of 24.3 million, accounting for one third of the total box office in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year.

In addition, since the release dates of "The Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong" and "The Happy Ghost" are only a little over a month apart, there were only a few days when the paintings were hung at the same time, which led to an obvious phenomenon at the theater box office.

"The audience of "Happy Ghost" often bought one, two, or two or three tickets, but the citizens who bought "Happy Ghost" bought five, six, or seven or eight tickets at a time. It can be seen that the release of two excellent films with different themes has made the whole family happy.

What are the advantages of comedy?

It is foreseeable that "Happy Ghost" has a higher box office than "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers".

Zhang Guobin was not surprised at all.

The respective box office of the two movies has reached and exceeded Boss Zhang's expectations. Although the box office of the original film is used as a benchmark, after all, the factors of the times and inflation must be taken into consideration...

Boss Zhang said he was very happy.

The beginning of 1982,

Hong Kong Film Circle,

An important figure jumped up to the top of the mountain,
Chapter completed!
