Wednesday, eleven a.m. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yin Jun had just finished washing the dishes from the kitchen of the tea restaurant, changed his clothes and went outside to work, when he saw Guan Yi sitting at a table, leisurely drinking morning tea.

"Uncle Guan!"

Yin Jun stepped forward and greeted, "Why are you here?"

Guan Yi looked up at him and smiled: "Why can't I come over? Good boy! You hide it from me very tightly! How about going out to lunch with me later? Let's talk to uncle and nephew?"

Yin Jun knew what was going on, "Okay, I'll eat at 12 noon, I'll take a little leave and have an hour and a half to rest." ”

"No need to take time off. Guan Shan smiled: "I said hello to Ah Xing, and asked him to give you half a day off, and after dinner in the afternoon, I will send you back to work." ”

"That's good. ”

Yin Jun nodded, "I'll explain it to my colleagues." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door!"

……

There are actually a lot of tea restaurants and cafes on this side of the broadcast road, because there are many actors and crew members here, and the consumption power is very strong, feeding dozens of restaurants of all sizes.

Guan Yi didn't take Yin Jun far, found a familiar restaurant, walked to the box on the second floor and sat down.

When the boss came in with a pot of black tea, Guan Yi poured it for himself and Yin Jun, and drank the tea that was still a little hot in one gulp.

"Hoo ......"

Guan Shan let out a sigh of relief, and said with a little nostalgia: "Twenty years ago, when I just won the best actor, I celebrated in this box. Although the film didn't make much money, everyone was very happy, because we made a name for Chinese films in the world! Unfortunately, it was just that opportunity, and although the future films made a lot of money, they never had such an opportunity. ”

Yin Jun drank tea slowly, listened to him, and did not interject.

At this time, Guan Shirt is just reminiscing about himself, and he doesn't need others to follow him.

"The '60s were my most glorious years, when I worked with a lot of big stars from Shaw Brothers and did a lot of blockbuster movies. So I had a big heart, thinking why should I let other film companies make a lot of money, I can't open a company myself to make money?" Guan said, "So I founded my own company in '72 and started making some movies. It was good at first, but the more I got to the end, the less popular my film became, losing money in '76, and losing money in '77, so scared that I don't dare to start a drama anymore now, so I can only go to film for others to earn money to support my family and the group of people who support the company.

As a result, my burden and pressure are very great, and I often can't even sleep well, and the first thing I do when I wake up is to think about how much money I need to earn today to be able to maintain the expenses of the company and my family! But even at that time, I didn't think about giving up! I also wanted to regroup, so I went everywhere to pull investment, but I didn't expect to get investment, but I actually found that I was not ready at all, and I couldn't even come up with a good script!"

Speaking of this, Guan Yi shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "By the way, I remembered that I was able to attract investment before, thanks to the song you wrote for Jiahui." And now, I owe you one more favor. ”

"Where the words. Yin Jun shook his hand, "Uncle Guan, the first meal I had in Xiangjiang was the one you gave me, I remember this kindness, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Songs and scripts are within my ability, and I'm willing to do it. ”

"But then again, you are still an orphan in a place like the mainland, how can you know so much?" Guan Shan said curiously: "Needless to say, the song is completely a master-level work, and your script of "Seven Days of Love in the Wrong Table" is so well written and so detailed, you say that you have made a movie, I believe it! But you are only 16 years old!"

"I grew up in an orphanage, well, it's not accurate to say that the orphanage is actually an orphanage, in fact, it should be an orphanage, there are old people and children in it. Yin Jun said that he had a good answer: "There are two old grandfathers who are filmmakers in the old Shanghai Beach, and one is a musician and a writer, and I have listened to a lot of stories and learned a lot from them. After coming to Xiangjiang, I naturally thought about what I should do, so I wrote something to give it a try. Uncle Guan, do you think this script is good?"

"Isn't it good?" Guan Shirt laughed, "It's not that Uncle compliments you, if the box office of "Seven Days of Wrong Love" does not exceed 1 million, then Uncle will not make movies!"

Yin Jun also smiled when he heard this.

It's not because Guan Shirt is very optimistic about it, but he is lamenting that Guan Shirt is no wonder the film company didn't make it, this ability to look at the script is really ordinary.

Five years later, the "Seven Days of Wrong Love" released in 1983 won the third place at the box office that year, a full 15 million!

This is just the box office of Xiangjiang, with the ability of the production company - Shaw Brothers Pictures, Nanyang and Baodao do not sell at the same price, that is strange!

And how much does "Seven Days of Wrong Love" cost?

330,000!

Or the 330,000 prices that have skyrocketed five years later!

Therefore, "Seven Days of Love" is definitely a model of small and broad, and director Zhang Tingjian has become a hot new director, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

Therefore, Guan Shan's ability and vision are like that.

A good actor doesn't necessarily make a good businessman, and that's a regular occurrence.

Thoughts flashed, and Yin Jun said, "1 million? Isn't that going to earn a lot?"

"If it's 1 million, you won't be able to earn much in Xiangjiang. Guan Shan was excited, but he didn't see Yin Jun's peaceful eyes, "I strive to control the shooting cost at 150,000 yuan, plus the bottom fee, printing fee, distribution fee, etc., the cost is almost 300,000 yuan." If calculated in this way, as long as the box office reaches 600,000, the cost can be recovered. Of course, Golden Harvest also has the distribution channel of Cathay Cinemas in other cities, and if "Seven Days of Wrong Love" can be sold to Nanyang, we can at least earn hundreds of thousands. That's good. ”

Looking at Guan Shan's excited appearance, Yin Jun couldn't bear to tell him.

Although Golden Harvest can't do anything in the local theater chain in Xiangjiang, when it is released in Nanyang, Japan and South Korea, Baodao and other places, it is not an ordinary black.

Why did Hung Jinbao go out of Jiahe and run to Debao on Pan Gongzi's side?

Isn't it because in the report given to him by Jiahe, the films he sold in Xiangjiang were sold to these markets for only one dollar? Do you believe that Jiahe is the kind of living Lei Feng?

Funny, right?

Funny, right?

Funny, right?

This is the so-called Jiahe of Xiangjiang, which is the most responsible, the most conscientious and the most willing to support people!

Golden Harvest is like this, let alone Shaw Brothers.

Princess Kim is actually not much better.

Therefore, in the future, during the period of 85-95, these stars and production companies in Xiangjiang will also be smarter, and they will directly take a fixed price, and you will not be able to take any dividends from other cities, and I will get the benefits in my hand.

This is also the reason why Cheng Long is He Guanchang's godson, and in the end he also opened his own company, found his own theater, and sold films abroad by himself.

Otherwise, with Cheng Long in hand, why did Golden Harvest decay like this, and was finally swallowed by a new company in the mainland?

Of course, in the first few years, Golden Harvest did not treat its own superstars badly, but later the film industry became more and more sluggish, and almost only Cheng Long could make money, so they could only draw money from Cheng Long's movie profits to make up for losses in other aspects, which led to a significant decrease in Cheng Long's income.

In addition, at that time, Cheng Long had successfully entered Hollywood, so Cheng Long naturally withdrew from Golden Harvest.

It can also be seen from here that the film industry in Xiangjiang is completely chaotic from top to bottom, and it is strange that such an industry does not go bankrupt!

Come back to the present.

It is definitely unrealistic to let Guan Shirt and Golden Harvest collide hard.

But if you want to make Guan Xian suffer, Yin Jun doesn't want to, he muttered: "Uncle Guan, when you sign a contract with Golden Harvest, you can try to keep the share of the film as low as possible, but don't let out the distribution rights in other cities, at least don't take it out so early." ”

"Why?" asked Guan Shan.

"Because after the box office of Xiangjiang comes out, there will be reference value, and now you sign a contract together and let Golden Harvest help distribute it, wouldn't it be a loss?" Yin Jun said, "Other cities are not so easy to sell, and Golden Harvest doesn't seem to care so much about the foreign distribution rights of small companies' films, right?"

"But in general, they are all signed together. Guan Yi was also moved when he heard this, if the box office can go up, he can earn more, "What should I do?"

"I don't know that, and I don't know the specifics. Yin Jun said, "Uncle Guan, you can discuss it with someone you are familiar with." ”

"Okay!"

Guan Yi smiled, took out a stack of big golden bulls from the leather bag next to him, and put them in front of Yin Jun, "Industry rules, you must pay money to buy a script." Uncle Guan doesn't have much money in his hands now, so he can only give you 10,000 yuan. When the box office comes out, if it is a big hit, I will make up a big red envelope for you. ”

In Xiangjiang, screenwriters are really worthless.

For now, for a best-selling film that sells 1 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, it would be good for the screenwriter to get 10,000 yuan.

The TV series is even simpler, if the ratings are long-term, you will be given a big red envelope of several thousand yuan, even if it is a big reward.

Guan Yi didn't have much money in the first place, so it was really rare to give money to the script directly according to a million-selling movie.

Yin Jun stretched out his hand and pushed the money back.

Guan Yi frowned, and said helplessly: "Junzai, are you too little?"

"That's not what it means. Yin Jun said with a smile, "Uncle Guan, you don't have a lot of money now, right? Why don't you take it all to the film first, and when the box office comes out, how about you give me another red envelope?

Guan Shan's heart was moved.

Yin Jun is continuing to support him, who knows what the box office will be? But he didn't choose to settle down, but chose to let him concentrate on making movies first.

Such a young man, although he is a little younger, is talented and virtuous, and knows how to advance and retreat, which is a good match for my family Jiahui.

Such a thought flashed in Guan Shan's heart.
