We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The lights went out, the curtain came up, and the logo animation of Oriental Film and Television started.

A huge tiger was sleeping on the grass. Suddenly a camera flew over and hit the tiger on the head, disturbing its sweet dream. The furious tiger pressed the camera under his body and roared.

This animated logo was thought up by a staff member of Film & Television Oriental, which means that the tiger of Film & Television Oriental can easily defeat other peers and shock the entire Hong Kong film industry.

The film "Funny Times" is very simple. It tells the story of the post-war world in economic recession. A homeless man in hunger and poverty meets the orphan Wang Wei, the poor singer queen Xiu Wen and a drunkard.

A story about a human trafficker who kidnapped a singing girl and an orphan. In the end, a tramp and a drunkard worked hard to subdue the bad guy and rescue their companions.

Director John Woo tried to combine Chaplin's comedy with Hong Kong's own comedy elements, but the intention was good, but it seemed a bit nondescript.

No matter what, there are still a lot of laughs, and at least many viewers will like it, especially Shi Tian's funny tension, which is very in line with the laugh points of southerners.

At the end of the 100-minute movie, the lights in the venue came on, and all the audience applauded enthusiastically.

The main creators came to the front stage, and Shi Tian picked up the microphone after the applause ended.

"Thank you, thank you to everyone here, I know this movie is not perfect, but it is an idea that I have always had in my heart.

This may be my last movie. From now on, I will focus all my energy and focus on film and television. I would also like to thank my boss Luo Sheng for giving me such an opportunity."

After saying that, Shi Tian bowed deeply. He knew that Luo Nianzhong was not here, but he still expressed his attitude, which also caused the guests in the audience to applaud again.

After the scene became quiet again, Shi Tian continued, "Furthermore, I would like to thank the actors and behind-the-scenes team of this movie for their hard work.

In particular, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others not only put aside their own projects to help me with advice, but also participated in the roles. I want to say, thank you, brother."

Mai Jia and Huang Baiming, who participated in the movie, stood aside. When they heard Shi Tian's words, they didn't say anything. Instead, they came over and gave him a big hug. This is the friendship between men. There is no need for so much nonsense. Everything is done. In silence.

“Finally, I want to announce a major decision here, a decision that will bring good news to all Hong Kong filmmakers, that is, the Oriental Film and Television Cinemas will completely abolish the minimum guarantee system and implement a share-sharing system.

Films released at Oriental Film and Television Cinemas no longer need to pay a deposit, but will be divided according to the box office ratio and theater chain. Of course, the specific amount of canvas you can get depends on the box office performance of your own film."

As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, everyone present was in a state of excitement. They all started discussing, especially the few reporters who were allowed to enter the venue. They asked questions about what Shi Tian said, but they all disappeared. In the noisy scene.

Don't blame them for being like this. If it's like what Shi Tian said, then the Hong Kong film industry will really change.

In the past, theater chains on Hong Kong Island implemented a minimum guarantee system. What is a minimum guarantee system? When a movie is shown in a theater chain, the theater chain will calculate a value based on the number of canvases and screening time you request. This is the guaranteed fee.

You have to pay a guarantee fee before the movie can be released. If the box office exceeds the guarantee fee, the theater chain will share the share. If the movie fails, sorry, the deposit will not be refunded.

This is also the reason why so many small film companies may go bankrupt after selling one movie.

Why are Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers competing for hegemony on Hong Kong Island? Is it because the movie theaters in the past were basically in their hands and the box office of the movie was not good? Just change it to another movie. They are in a business where they can make a profit without losing any money.

Now that Shi Tian has announced that Oriental Film and Television will abandon the guaranteed system and change it to a share-based system, one can imagine how much changes it will bring to the Hong Kong film industry.

Will Jiahe and Shaw Brothers follow up? If they do not follow up, other small film companies will completely become content manufacturers for Film and Television East, and will be bound to the chariot of Film and Television East.

Not to mention other things, for the many guests present today, many people have some thoughts in their minds.

Film shooting does not cost much, usually two to three hundred thousand is enough. With these 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, a movie that is not too bad and a small hit can make them millionaires.

Even if you rush to the street, you will save a minimum guarantee fee and have a chance to make a comeback.

"Brother, if that's the case, do you think it's possible for me to set up a company of my own to make a lot of money?" Jackie Chan's eyes flashed with joy.

Compared with the current salary of tens of thousands, how can one million be so good? How many movies do you have to make to earn one million.

Sammo Hung glanced at him and said nothing. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you really have this idea, I can help you talk to Shi Tian to see if he is interested in starting a company with you. It's best not to think about swallowing all the benefits yourself. With the addition of Dongfang Film and Television, it will We have much less pressure on the front, we just need to make a good movie with peace of mind.

And we won’t be so nervous about funds, which is equivalent to finding a stable investor.”

Not only did he persuade his junior brother, he also planned to do the same.

If he leaves Jiahe, he will definitely bear Zou Daheng's anger, but judging from the current situation, he has nothing to ask of him.

I have the funds myself, and Dongfang Film and Television will also contribute a large share. Distribution, is there anything better than Oriental Film and Television Cinema in Southeast Asia? The only thing that Golden Harvest is better than Dongfang Film and Television is its channels in North America.

However, Sammo Hung sees clearly and knows that he will not become the second Bruce Lee. North America is not interested in his style at all, and it does not matter whether there are North American channels.

If Jackie Chan can be as independent as himself, then with Zou Daheng's regard for Jackie Chan, he can obviously share most of his firepower.

Although Jackie Chan's contract is still with Luo Wei Pictures, Zou Daheng has regarded him as a future star of Golden Harvest and will sign the contract as soon as it comes. After offending Zou Daheng, it would be good for him to find a stronger company to affiliate with.

But Jackie Chan didn't think so much. Now all he can think about is making a lot of money. He didn't care about Jiahe. He was grateful to Wu Siyuan, who helped him change from being unknown to being famous now.

If it weren't for Wu Siyuan, he wouldn't have been able to get Zou Daheng's frequent overtures. Although he has verbally agreed to Jiahe, he has not signed a specific contract yet. Since you can have better development, why should you defect to Jiahe? Is it just because Zou Daheng values ​​​​it?

After receiving Sammo Hung's promise, Jackie Chan said without thinking, "If that's the case, it would be really great, thank you, brother."

If we really set up a company with Dongfang Film and Television, it would be much more beneficial than those small companies.

First of all, you don’t have to invest too much, which can reduce the cost of failure. Then there is the number of online paintings in theaters. As Film Oriental can be said to be a subsidiary, the treatment and publicity in terms of the number of canvases are definitely not comparable to those of small companies.

As for the share ratio, Shi Tian just said that the share ratio for Dongfang Film and Television Company's works is 5:5. And those from outside are the 6:4 currently implemented in Hong Kong Island, which is a full % profit.

In layman's terms, it means spending a small amount of money to do big things and get more profits.

The two of them are thinking here. The Q&A session with reporters in front of the stage has already begun.

"Excuse me, just now you said that the boss behind Dongfang Film and Television is Luo Sheng? I wonder if it is Luo Tycoon from Yingjun Group?"

Shi Tian smiled, "No, it's Mr. Luo Nianzhong, but he is indeed related to the Luo family. He is the only son of Mr. Luo Yinghua of the former Yingjun Group. I can only say so much, and I will not answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie. ".

"Is the Luo Yinghua you are talking about Luo Daheng's brother, the second shareholder of Yingjun Group?"

"Sorry, I told you that I only answer things related to movies. Next person, thank you."

"What about the sharecropping system? Is this proposed by Mr. Luo Nianzhong? Why should we implement this system?" Finally came a reliable question.

"The reason for implementing this system is that our company hopes that Hong Kong Island's films will become better and better and more competitive. The elimination of the guarantee system will allow more film companies to reduce their worries and use limited funds to produce more films. Movie".

Shi Tian's words were magnificent, as if he was dedicated to the Hong Kong film industry. But those present are all old foxes, and of course they know the purpose of Dongfang Film and Television’s measure.

But for many people here, they are indeed the biggest beneficiaries. There is no need for them to say anything. They just pretend to be confused and say, "How are you and me?"

"Okay, that's it for today's Q&A session. We will have a banquet later. You must eat and have fun, but you must not disturb the guests or take photos."

Without giving the enthusiastic reporters another chance, Shi Tian turned around and left. As for those reporters who wanted to catch up and continue asking questions, they were stopped by the security guards who had been prepared.
