At the time of box office sharing, it was still according to the box office of this period, with a global box office of 5.0 million.
Among them, 20 million box office is a local box office, and more than half of them are broadcast in Ma Qingyang's Golden Princess Cinema.
The theater chain also made money, and the film company also accounted for the lion's share, so he could get 1.2 million of the 20 million alone.
And the other 3.0000 box office is overseas box office, and he can get 1.80000!
In this way, Ma Qingyang alone got 3.000 million, which is a 1000% yield.
You must know that his original investment was only 3 million, of which 2 million was the production fee and 1 million the publicity fee.
In this way, Ma Qingyang's film project made him earn 10 times the income!
From the beginning of the project to the final box office share, it has only been three months in total!
Because this movie was a big hit at the box office, Ma Qingyang, as the big boss, was very generous and took out 3 million to reward the meritorious heroes.
The first is Huang Baiming, who is the director and screenwriter, and he will be directly rewarded with 1 million!
And the 1 million was in the form of cash, and there was a celebration reception!
What a blind eye!
Subsequently, as the producer, the seven monsters of the new art city and the happy girl group who participated in the corresponding production all received corresponding rewards!
Especially the latest girl group, the Happy Girl Group, as pure newcomers, they can each get a bonus of 100,000 yuan!
This kind of bonus, coupled with their box office share, is much higher than their original income, which has aroused the extreme envy of the film practitioners who participated in the reception.
People from other companies, especially those from Shaw Brothers Film Company, as well as the actors of TVB, flew with envy.
Because almost all of the actors of Xinyicheng Film Company are newcomers, but the share they get is more than 10 times that of them!
And they continue to stay at Shaw Brothers and TVB, according to the stingy character of Shao Yifu 26, even if they can make a high-grossing movie like "Happy Ghost", they will not be able to get such a high reward.
......
Shao Yifu's stinginess is outrageous, making him constantly miss out on talents, but he has never repented!
When Li Xiaolong just returned to Hong Kong from the United States, he offered the industry a value of 10,000 US dollars, and Shao Yifu's attitude was scornful, Li Xiaolong saw that Shao Yifu's attitude was arrogant and rude, and he switched to Shao Yifu's competitors in a fit of anger.
And Shao Yifu's competitor is precisely the person he cultivated, that is, his former right-hand man Zou Wenhuai.
So why did Zou Wenhuai leave the Shaw Brothers and set up his own business to establish Jiahe? It turned out that Zou Wenhuai was a person with avant-garde ideas and kept up with the pace of development of the times, and his suggestions to Shao Yifu were repeatedly denied, and he was already dissatisfied.
In addition, he followed Shao Yifu's side, but he was just a worker, seeing Shao Yifu's stinginess towards his subordinates, the feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox has been around for a long time.
Therefore, after the time and entrepreneurial capital are ripe, Zou Wenhuai left the Shaw Brothers and set up his own door to establish Jiahe, knowing how to divide the cake for his subordinates, how to attract talents to enter Jiahe, is Zou Wenhuai's most successful place, and the treatment he gave Li Xiaolong is far higher than the price offered by Li Xiaolong.
The salary given by Zou Wenhuai surpassed that era, and the "dividend system" he proposed was also very attractive in terms of the development of the times.
After the release of the movie "Tangshan Big Brother", it caused a sensation throughout the country, creating a staggering box office record in the Xiangjiang film industry at that time, and the win-win situation of mutual benefit between Golden Harvest and Li Xiaolong made Shao Yifu regret it.
Xu Guanwen, who became famous in Shaw Brothers back then, once became famous in Shaw Brothers with the movie "The Great Warlord", and he was also a powerful cadre.
However, when Xu Guanwen showed Shao Yifu the script he had worked so hard to write, although the script of "Ghost Horse Double Star" was very exciting, but in the face of Xu Guanwen's request for fifty-fifty points, the stingy Shao Yifu still failed to pass his own level and directly rejected it.
The reason given by Shao Yifu is that the script is too bad, in fact, he has only one purpose for playing Xu Guanwen like this, hoping to bring the price down.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Guanwen even took the script and turned to Jiahe.
When the "Ghost Horse Double Star" was released in Hong Kong, it was a sensation in Hong Kong, and the box office revenue created as high as 6.25 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although Shao Yifu, who has repeatedly missed the opportunity, has cried and fainted in the toilet many times, his stinginess still can't be changed, and once, the on-set drama department applied to him and asked to buy breakfast for the crew and buy 100 fried buns for 20 yuan, which is also a good deal, right?
However, such a reasonable request was vetoed on the spot by Shao Yifu.
The reason given is even more speechless, he said that the company's internal steamed buns are only a dime, and the implication is that the fried buns are too expensive.
The consequence of this incident directly led to the staff who went out on location not being able to eat breakfast, so it caused dissatisfaction among the employees and a collective strike, for which Shaw Brothers lost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
Shao Yifu's second wife, Fang Yihua also teased him because of this incident, saying that he saved ten yuan.
At that time, the employees of Shaw Brothers were no different from the workers on the streets of Xiangjiang, such as Di Long, Zheng Meimei, Jiang Dawei and other big-name stars, they went to work and took the bus, and when they arrived at the company, they had to sign in and punch in, and receive their salaries at the end of each month.
It's just that Shaw Brothers treated its employees quite well back then, because that place in Xiangjiang was expensive and the rent was frighteningly expensive, so the company provided staff accommodation and staff meals, but the food was average, and the living was a little better than the slums.
......
Ma Qingyang's new art city movie not only provides employees with good dormitories and good staff meals, but the key is that the box office share and bonuses are very high.
This is a contrast, Shaw Brothers and TVB employees will feel so stinging.
Prior to this, Zou Wenhuai only gave a relatively high salary to a few stars, unlike Ma Qingyang, who even gave a relatively high salary share to ordinary actors, which suddenly made Xinyicheng Film Company a sweet spot.
There are many actors who work with TVB and Shaw Brothers Films, and they have come to talk and want to jump to New Arts City Film Company.
Ma Qingyang is not a refusal to come, but a merit-based admission, choosing people who have successful experience in the original time and space, and people who have been tested by the market with box office appeal and acting skills, such as Zhou Yunfa.
Like Zhao Yuzhi, who already has such a relationship with Ma Qingyang, in fact, he wished to leave TVB earlier and come to Ma Qingyang's New Art City Movie.
Ma Qingyang still persuaded Zhou Yanfa and Zhao Yuzhi that after performing "Shanghi Beach" first, it would not be too late for them to leave after "Shanghi Beach" was broadcast.
Although Ma Qingyang does not refuse to come, but chooses the best batch, it will still make people's hearts fluctuate.
People from Shaw Brothers Films and TVB are very eager to jump ship and come to Ma Qingyang's New Art City Films.
In addition to those actors and behind-the-scenes staff, because Ma Qingyang also rewarded the behind-the-scenes staff at the celebration banquet, photography, lighting, props, art, martial arts instructors and other staff, who perform well and make contributions, will receive very generous rewards, which are many times higher than the current market price, which is actually the stingy low price made by TVB.
Therefore, at the end of 1979, TVB and Shaw Brothers Films under the command of Shaw Yifu blew a strong wind of job hopping.
There are many very capable actors, directors, screenwriters, and photographers who have jumped ship to come to Xinyicheng Films.
Shao Yifu and his lover Fang Yihua began to panic.
They thought of a way to deal with Ma Qingyang, but they were actually happy ghosts who followed him!
......
On the other hand, the box office of the first movie of "Happy Ghost" is so hot that Xiangjiang filmmakers who like to follow the trend have found a box office wealth password, campus comedy plus thriller plus young and beautiful girls. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
All of a sudden, many film companies have rushed to make movies similar to the "Happy Ghost" series.
Ma Qingyang particularly hates this kind of atmosphere, and Xiangjiang Movies has been ruined by this shoddy follow-up.
Since the late 1990s, Hong Kong films have been stagnant, and the main reason is actually the structure of the Hong Kong film market.
The plagiarism of films, the trend of following the trend of shooting, the excessive use of popular stars, the increasing number of shoddy films, the contempt for the creative ability of screenwriters, and the lack of strict standards for the use of directors have greatly reduced the overall quality of Hong Kong-made films.
In addition, when the financial turmoil in the late 90s hit Hong Kong hard, the situation of Hong Kong films was even worse. []
The main reason for the decline of Hong Kong films is the quality of films, and the decline in film quality itself is higher than the problem of piracy: the film industry ignores the problems of its own films, and fails to keep pace with the times, and puts the responsibility on the infringing activities of others.
In addition, the surrounding environment has changed.
In the past, the reason why Xiangjiang films were brilliant was because in addition to the local box office of Xiangjiang, it also occupied a large share in the film market of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and the most important treasure island.
But now all countries are vigorously developing their own country's film and television industry, are supporting their own country's films, and have made certain restrictions on foreign films (except Hollywood) (especially Japan and South Korea), coupled with the impact of Hollywood, Baodao has become a Hollywood box office, and even Xiangjiang itself does not support Xiangjiang films, which can be found through the comparison of the box office of Hollywood movies in Xiangjiang and the box office of local films in Xiangjiang.
......
Ma Qingyang wants to put an end to such a bad atmosphere, if any film company dares to follow his films, Ma Qingyang will find someone to sabotage it, or find a lawyer to accuse.
Even if they can make a movie, Ma Qingyang's film will never show any garbage movie that follows the trend of shooting original movies in Xinyicheng, and at the same time makes Golden Harvest Cinemas follow the same rules.
But in this way, 937, those rough film companies, they will put the film in Shaw Brothers theaters.
Shao Yifu decided to go toe-to-toe with Ma Qingyang, so he accepted those movies that followed the trend.
Ma Qingyang's capital is very strong now, he has raised a lot of people, and has given a lot of reasonable and legal sponsorship to relevant personnel of the police department (the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been established for many years, so he can't directly send money to relevant personnel, but he can legally sponsor a certain organization), and he has also sponsored a lot of money to the Department of Justice, and the corresponding connections are very well connected, so whether he is doing real estate, finance, or movies, he can find relevant personnel to help him and realize the monopoly of property rights!
It's not that he doesn't let others do this, but his own original things, prohibiting others from blindly following the trend, and can't spoil the market!
Ma Qingyang found that Shao Yifu did not talk about martial arts, and his TVB not only did not accept advertisements for movies, but also slandered the movies produced by Ma Qingyang Xinyicheng Films on their TV station's variety shows.
His Shaw Brothers films also follow Ma Qingyang Xinyicheng Films' "Happy Ghost" series and Best Partners series, and the shoddy works of other film companies can also be released in Shaw Brothers Films.
Although it is said that the Shaw Brothers cinema line only accounts for less than one-third of the cinema line, this will also have some impact on Ma Qingyang's side, and the most important thing is that he feels disgusting.
Since Shao Yifu and his wife did this, don't blame Ma Qingyang for being unkind.
Subsequently, their Shaw Brothers movies always had accidents on the set of Clear Water Bay!
Shaw Brothers Cinemas also always have accidents, either on fire or movie copies are burned!
Shaw Brothers film and radio talents are also constantly flowing out, and they have jumped to New Arts City Films.
Shao Yifu was not convinced, so he asked the small community behind him to also go to the movie set of Xinyi City to make trouble, and to the Golden Princess Cinema to make trouble.
didn't know that Ma Qingyang had already made preparations, and he would bring the small community to the end of the fight, and interrogated them about their behind-the-scenes instructions, and quickly called the police.
The police put Shao Yifu and his lover Fang Yihua under investigation.
Shao Yifu and his wife were very dissatisfied, obviously Ma Qingyang also sent people to do bad things, why didn't the police arrest them.
The police said, this is just your suspicion, do you have any evidence?
Shao Yifu was speechless, because Ma Qingyang's methods were too clever and did not leave any clues.
On the contrary, he sent these old boys, because he is usually stingy, and people are too lazy to give them their lives and keep their mouths shut, and those leaders have sold this boss one after another! .
