Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 114 Film Preparation (Part [-])
As long as you can make a good movie, it doesn’t matter if you lose a little money. In fact, good movies rarely lose money. Some movies lose money because of improper management, or because the company’s distribution capacity is insufficient.

Apparently, DreamWorks has no worries in this regard. With the continuous improvement of DreamWorks' channels, the profitability of movies will only continue to rise. The reason why Xiangjiang Company does not like to make literary films is that the market is too small and there is no living soil for literary films.

Just like Wang Jiawei's films, although they hit the local box office, their copyrights sold well in Europe and the United States, and basically they did not lose money. Many good literary films do not lose money, but the recovery of funds takes a little longer.

Now the production team is almost ready. As for the actress Zhao Hong, Zhong Chuhong immediately came to mind. She is known as the Marilyn Monroe of the East. She has a hot body and is even more sexy than the original lead actor He Zhiyuan. It felt like this movie was just for her.

Dongdong, "Please come in".

Hu Mei brought Chen Boxiang in from the outside, "Chairman, are you looking for me?".

"Yes, Ah Xiang, how are the movies these days?" Zhao Hong said to him while sitting on the boss chair.

"Chairman, the film has a slight profit in general, but the profit is not much. In the past half a year, it has only earned more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars." Chen Boxiang said in a low voice.

He was a little embarrassed. All the subsidiaries of DreamWorks were making a lot of money, but the film company was only making a small profit. Although compared with other film companies, the profit was quite considerable.

"Tell me about the specific situation." Zhao Hong said softly.

"Okay, chairman, so far this year, our company has released a total of nine films, but there are very few commercial films. Only three commercial films have made some money. As for the other six literary films, they have basically kept their capital. I can earn a little... ", he talked about the profitability of the movie during this period of time.

Zhao Hong nodded from time to time. Chen Boxiang has done a good job during this time. It is really difficult for him to make so much money after filming so many literary films. Among them, he also knows three profitable films, two of which are It was taken by Wang Jin.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Hong said: "Ah Xiang, you did a good job! I didn't expect the company to make so much money." Zhao Hong said encouragingly.

"The chairman praised it, mainly because we have our own cinema chain. Our DreamWorks cinema chain facilities are the best in Hong Kong, and there are small screening halls so that literary and artistic films can also harvest box office. They also have audiences.", Chen Boxiang said flatteringly that he has investigated the effect of small screening halls on the box office. If there are only large theaters as before, the company's films will definitely not be able to make so much money.

Now he is full of admiration for Zhao Hong. I heard that he was the one who proposed to change the hall into a small hall. This idea is absolutely brilliant. He estimates that the company earns at least hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars more for each film than other companies. .

"Well! Small screening halls are the future trend. I heard that director Wang Jin is still a talent. In the future, you should support him a lot and don't be stingy with rewards." Zhao Hong said again.

"Don't worry! Chairman, he is quite satisfied with the remuneration I gave." Chen Boxiang patted his chest and said, he really had nothing to say to Fat Wang Jin, not only the director's salary is high, but also big red envelopes if he makes money.

"Chairman, do you have any other matters?" Chen Boxiang opened his mouth when he saw that Zhao Hong seemed to have something else to do.

"Hmm! It's the female pig's foot that I'm going to shoot. I want to invite Zhong Chuhong to play the role. You go and invite her, and you must be sincere when you invite her." Zhao Hong said with a smile.

"No problem! Chairman, you have a good vision. The female lead in this movie is very suitable for her. Don't worry! I will definitely invite you." Chen Boxiang assured, patting his chest.

He knows the plot of this movie, and he admires Zhao Hong's vision. Everyone in Hong Kong knows Zhong Chuhong's sex appeal. The female lead is the key to the success of this movie, and Zhong Chuhong is both Sexy and good acting skills, she is simply the best candidate for a female pig's feet.

"Don't force people, just forget it if you don't want to, this is a movie script, you can show it to her! Some scenes can be used as doubles, if there is nothing wrong, you can go back!" Zhao Hong finally said, he motioned to his secretary to Chen Boxiang A dozen scripts.

"Okay, Chairman.", then he took his leave and left.

"By the way, there is one more thing. How is the external box office of my last movie?", Zhao Hong saw that Chen Boxiang was leaving, and suddenly thought that she didn't know the overseas results of her film "Hachigong"!

"Chairman, this movie was all underlined in the previous week, and the overseas box office has a total of 600 million US dollars. In Japan alone, there are almost 1000 million US dollars, and about 1000 million US dollars can reach our hands." He finished. Looking at Zhao Hong with resentment.

This money will not go into the account of the film company. He has long known that Zhao Hong will donate all the money he earned from filming the film, which makes him very distressed!The boss is too capricious.

He is not surprised at all that it can have so many box offices in Japan, after all, the original story is from Japan.

Zhao Hong looked at him with a cold look, and couldn't stand his small eyes, but there was one more thing I didn't ask clearly, and he couldn't let him go, "Ah Xiang, how did I let you buy the movie copyright? up?".

"Chairman, there are film companies in Xiangjiang going bankrupt at any time, so the acquisition of copyrights is very smooth, but there are no classic films, I just bought some good films, and the company's master tape storage room has been built, I put the company's All the films are stored inside." Chen Boxiang said honestly.

In the past six months, he spent almost 1000 million yuan to buy film copyrights, which are permanent copyrights. Many small companies heard that DreamWorks wanted film copyrights, and they all took the film copyrights that had been released, and sold all of them. It was sold, and many companies that were about to go bankrupt survived. Some people said that DreamWorks was a bit stupid. In their view, this was no different from giving them money.

Even Chen Boxiang couldn't figure out why Zhao Hong had to spend a lot of money to buy these copyrights, and even set up a special storage room.Used to protect these old films.

Zhao Hong didn't explain anything. In the original time and space, the colors of many old Xiangjiang movies were all distorted, many companies did not protect them properly, many classic movies were destroyed, and some of them disappeared completely.

He is protecting Xiangjiang movies, and of course paving the way for online videos in the future. Although piracy was rampant around the millennium in the original time and space, after 2010, movie copyrights became more and more valuable. Xiangjiang movies are indispensable for Chinese movies. Part of it, these old movies are well protected, and they will be all money by then.

Now he won the permanent copyright is simply the price of cabbage.

"Very good, this matter is continuous, the company will continue to do it, and spend a lot of money every year to buy film copyrights from other companies." Zhao Hong praised.

"Okay, chairman." Chen Boxiang left with a heavy heart.
