Since 1983

On the last day of 2002, Teacher Xu was settling accounts.

Calculate the income of several movies in recent years.

The cost of A World Without Thieves was 40 million yuan, and the box office was 140 million yuan. After deducting the income from theaters and distribution fees, if you can get 35%, you will be lonely. In addition to various copyright sales, it is barely a small profit.

The cost of October Siege was 60 million yuan, and the box office was 170 million yuan. It also added everything up, making a small profit. But leave an old Central District in Hong Kong, which is real estate.

The mainland market has just broken ground, and the investment will not be able to return the capital.

On the other hand, The Biggest Man cost 30 million yuan, but Columbia took part of it, and sold overseas copyrights for 1 million US dollars.

The most powerful thing is the overseas market.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon cost 15 million U.S. dollars and grossed over 200 million at the box office. Great efforts were made in publicity and distribution, and the distribution fee accounted for a large proportion. After excluding the profit sharing of several investors, Xu Fei still got 15 million Dollar.

The cost of Virus was 12 million, and the box office was 110 million US dollars. Japan contributed more than 70 million, and South Korea contributed 20 million. The four families are divided, and Xu Fei also has 10 million.

Look at Heroes again.

He's scratching the surface of the paper, with a current total payout of $33.8 million.

First, audio-visual copyrights, sold for more than 2 million US dollars; pre-roll ads, 2.4 million; books, comics, stamps, documentaries in a mess, more than 2 million...

These alone add up to more than 6 million.

Plus $177 million in box office cuts, probably a little more than in history.

Of course, Sunshine belongs to several joint ventures! The cactus is also his! The locomotive is also his! The Acorn release is also his!

Except for China Film and those overseas film studios, they all belong to him!

Teacher Xu put down his pen, feeling happy, and he had to do this in the future. When the policy is released again, private funds can independently build theaters, and even the theater chain is his!

Crunch!

boom!

There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and the sound of chaotic footsteps, but it was the wife and children who had returned.

When Xu Yuling entered the hospital, he shouted, Papa! Papa!

What's wrong?

I want to ride a bull!

Um?

Xu Fei looked at Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu obviously just finished beating up his daughter, all kinds of cold faces.

Zhang Li said with a smile, Just now I went there for a walk, and when I saw a cow, I wanted to ride it.

Hey, this cow can't be ridden...

He picked up his daughter and coaxed: The cow is our good friend, and the whole body is full of treasures. Beef can be eaten, cowhide can be used to make clothes, bezoar can be used as medicine, and cow urine and cow dung can be exported to India.

You look so good, are you willing to ride it?

...

Xu Yuling frowned, his face full of bewilderment.

Xiao Xu couldn't stand listening to it, so he rushed over: It's none of your business, I have to teach her a lesson today!

After all, he went upstairs with his daughter who was screaming and laughing.

Zhang Li blinked, and said to Xiaohu: You go up in a while, don't say anything, just throw yourself into your godmother's arms, and your sister will be saved.

Um.

Xiaohu nodded righteously.

Xu Fei felt that he was superfluous again, so he said helplessly, I'm going out for a while, and I won't come back to eat at night.

I cook venison.

Hey, save some for supper.

Just as Teacher Xu was about to go out, he wiped his body and turned back: It's not wild game, is it?

No.

That's good, game is not clean.

…………

In the private room, Han Sanping sat alone.

I smoked a cigarette silently, thinking about things while waiting for someone.

Today is the game he saved, the superficial meaning is very simple, since Hero is so popular, it is better to strike while the iron is hot, and then invite a big director to make a blockbuster movie.

The deep meaning is different.

With the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the development of literature and art, the restrictions on private capital must be lifted. In the future, private capital can independently shoot and distribute movies.

In other words, Tianxia no longer needs to cooperate with China Film Group, and can do it alone.

In fact, since he was transferred to be the director of Beijing Film Studio, Xu Fei has been the director of almost every influential film, and Beijing Film Studio and China Film Studio are really named.

Inevitably have ideas.

The relationship is good, and I can't bear to say that, just by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, when the document is issued, China Film Group will also do it alone.

Only by working alone can you show your ability, otherwise, you will think it is Xu Fei's credit. But now is not the time, at least the five-year plan must be completed.

Old Han!

Come on, sit down first.

When Xu Fei entered the room, Han Sanping poured tea and said, I told Chen Kaige to come later, let's meet first.

Well, you say.

That's what I mean. Zhang Yimou did a good job with Heroes. I want to ask Chen Kaige to do one too. Two of the most representative directors in China, each with a blockbuster, so meaningful.

And your fifth film, don't you still have a clue? Can Chen Kaige make the fifth part?

Can't!

Xu Fei complained in his heart, and he couldn't explain the reason, so he just said: It's too early to say, wait for the script to come out, and then decide what nature it will be.

After a pause, I said hello in advance: And next year, my three films Taken, Super Body and House of Flying Daggers may not necessarily have financial support.

Exaggerated?

Tsk, Super Body alone costs 50 million US dollars, and you China Film Group didn't like it, and you only paid for it. Of course, I have to plan carefully.

Then what do you mean...

Chen Kaige finalizes the script first. I think it can be included in the five-year plan. I will find a way to support it. If I think it is not good enough, I will definitely not participate.

We now have more and more works, and there is no need to stuff every major production into it. Look at my three films, have I stuffed them?

Also.

Han Sanping thought for a while, and it was indeed too early to say.

In fact, in my heart, I hope that the other party will not participate, so that I can control a blockbuster movie.

After chatting for a while, Chen Kaige arrived, bringing Chen Hong with him.

Teacher Xu!

Chen Hong was embarrassed, embarrassed and a little shy.

oops! Back then, she had filmed Snow Mountain Flying Fox and Happy Marriage for Mr. Xu, and she was being trained. If it wasn't for that man's bad waist, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

haven't seen you for a long time.

Xu Fei shook hands with her, and then with Dao Chen.

Sitting down again, Han Sanping spoke concisely and said what he meant.

Dao Chen was overjoyed. Just like the cooperation between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, he also had a big water pipe before—Xu Feng, who was an actor and became Tomson's boss.

Xu Feng admired him very much and planned to invest in Farewell My Concubine.

Director Chen didn't like it at all, thinking it was too vulgar, Xu Feng tried every means to persuade him to succeed.

Later, when he filmed The Wind and Moon, Xu Feng felt that the script was very poor, and every character in it was annoying, and would not be popular with the audience.

Director Chen persisted.

Later, when filming Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin, Xu Feng repeatedly persuaded him, and broke off the cooperation in a fit of anger.

The big water hose was gone, and the films continued to hit the street. Director Chen stopped for a few years and had to return to life, filming Together with You.

He even lowered his standards and ran to play a TV series Lu Bu and Diao Chan, which was later renamed Butterfly Dance Tianya.

To be honest, Xu Fei was quite touched when he watched this drama.

At this moment, I heard Han Sanping say that I want to invest in blockbuster movies, ouch!

Have fun.

You have to be reserved on the surface, a cultural person is polite, and he opened his mouth to call you, then said: Then what kind of movie do you think should be made?

The success of Hero shows that the audience loves to watch martial arts and ancient styles. I am not saying that you make a similar film, but you can get some inspiration and come up with an unprecedented epic blockbuster.

You are fully capable of this, no doubt about it. Now the market is good, it would be a pity not to shoot.

Han Sanping was sincere, and turned to Xu Fei, What do you think?

I agree!

Teacher Xu was more sincere, and said with a smile: I always think that Director Chen is the most thoughtful director in China, but he lacks a work to really show it.

Yo ha!

Director Chen was very surprised, did he value himself so much?

My suggestion, do the script now.

Don't worry about funds, although I'm tight, but Lao Han, you can contact Japan, South Korea and Hollywood, and there must be filmmakers willing to cooperate. International co-productions are a major trend now, and with Director Chen in charge, let alone 200 million, 300 million is fine!

Leave it to me for the setting of the venue.

Xiangshan Film and Television City has reasonable prices and considerate service. I will take whatever scene I want, and I am absolutely satisfied!

Good guy!

Director Chen was moved, and he raised his glass of wine: I am ashamed and ashamed, I will do my best to live up to the two of you.

(I'm catching a cold, so I won't update it for the time being. I'll update it when I'm in better condition.)
