Chapter 198 Mr. Zhang is unhappy

The incident has come to the fore.

Zou Huaiwen, Shao Yifu, and Lei Boss sat and listened. After Zhang Guobin and Yuan Yangan sat down, the secretary brought a few cups of tea.

Zhang Guobin held the paper cup and said: "The Xiangjiang release of "ET Alien", I prefer to be carried out by the four major theater chains together, a good film should be seen by more citizens, As for the distribution of "ET Alien" in Asia, in addition to Taiwan Island, the mainland is contracted to the Golden Harvest Cinemas, do the bosses have any opinions?"

The more cinemas are drawn, It represents the bigger box office, schedule, and attendance.

If the quality of the movie is not enough, no matter how many schedules are pulled down,

The quality of the movie is good enough.

The simultaneous co-screening of the four major cinema chains is an unprecedented event in the Hong Kong film market. Shao Yifu immediately said with scruples: "Mr. Zhang, there are currently two simultaneous screenings in Hong Kong, Shao Clan and Jiahe, you are a beautiful voice. There is no problem with the three-line screening in the theater, but once it is painted at the same time as Yindu."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan." Shao Yifu glanced at Yuan Yangan, and said apologetically, "Yindu is a leftist hospital. The line has a political stance, and once "ET Alien" is drawn on Yindu, it will be difficult for the Taiwanese market."

DreamWorks, in a small Conference Hall, sitting The Boss of the four major cinema chains in Heungkong, and the forces behind it, were the leaders of Asian films in the 1980s, and their universe was as big as the film symposium held in the mainland. One cup of tea, one rivers and lakes.

Zhang Guobin's influence in the film industry began to surface.

Yuan Yangan said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, Mr. Zhang is in charge of the painting on the island, so you don't have to worry about this."

"The Four Lines It is a good thing for the entire Heungkong Film.”

At this stage, the Shadow Sect of Heungkong Electric is very heavy, and a film company is inclined to one. A cinema chain will definitely offend another cinema chain, and only a character like Zhang Guobin is qualified to lead the four-line screening, and the first film is qualified to be drawn on three lines, and the rest of the film companies can only rely on one theater chain.

In addition, the Sino-British negotiation is currently very fierce. If a breakthrough is achieved on the cultural front, it will be very helpful to the public opinion of the entire Hong Kong community.

Yuan Yangan took Yindu to participate in the four-line screening, behind which there is a profound meaning, Zhang Guobin naturally knows the know-how, and is fully supported, in order to gain political capital, the entire Xiangjiang except him , Who is qualified to let the four major theater chains sit down and talk?

At this time, Zhang Guobin took out his prepared chips and said, ""ET Alien" is a Hollywood movie, and Hollywood movies are drawn on four lines. Are you qualified?"

"Taiwan Island will hold you accountable, you can shirk the Amblin Entertainment in Hollywood and let them sanction Amblin Entertainment. Taiwan Province is qualified to sanction Hollywood. If you are not qualified, be careful of Hollywood. The big director asks the councilor to put eye drops on them!"

Even if the whole of Hong Kong knows that Zhang Guobin is involved in the production of "ET Alien", as long as there is a plausible excuse on the surface, Taiwan Island will definitely not Dare to jump up and scold, you know, Hollywood is the daddy of Taiwan Island.

Zhang Guobin can also achieve public opinion in Xiangjiang, and after a few operations, even the benefits of eliminating and fighting are obtained.

"As for the mainland release of "ET Alien", it will be handed over to Mr. Yuan's Yindu agent."

"Shaolin Temple, which was released at the beginning of the year in Yindu, can be described as a kung fu movie. The classic, so far, it has won more than 30 million box office in the mainland, breaking the box office record in Hong Kong film history at the price of one dime per ticket.”

“You know how big the mainland market will be in the future. Yes."

Zhang Guobin tapped the question.

Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, and Lei Boss all knew immediately,

Zhang Boss was reminding them,

How big is the mainland market!

Would you like to do it in the future!

Lei Boss hesitated and said, "For the four-line simultaneous screening, Lisheng Cinemas can cooperate."

As the new cinema Boss, he is not confident enough to join in and take risks. at great risk.

Zou Huaiwen got the overseas distribution rights in the rest of the country, and simply gritted his teeth: "Okay, the four-line movie will count as a share of Jiahe."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin is satisfied with nodded .

He handed over the overseas distribution to Golden Harvest, just to see that Golden Harvest's margin was low, and he was cut off before. From the perspective of saving money, Zou Huaiwen is still very good.

Shao Yifu had a lot of expectations for the mainland market and sighed: "Yes, the four-line screening of "ET Alien" may be a journey destined by history."

"Since that's the case, let's sign the contract." Zhang Guobin crossed Erlang's legs with an excited expression, raised his hand and clapped twice, the female secretary immediately opened the door: "Zhang Sheng."

"Take the contract Come here."

Zhang Guobin shouted.

Immediately, the female secretary held the contract, and the four theaters reviewed it and signed the contract on the spot.

Yuan Yangan returned to the Yindu Institution, Liu Wenyan sat in the office with a nervous expression, smoking a cigarette, saw him come back, and immediately got up and said, "Yuan Old Mister, how are the several theaters talking? ?"

"Hehe, we've talked about it." Yuan Yangan raised his mouth and said kindly with a smile: ""ET Alien" will be screened in four lines."

"Okay!" Liu Wenyan took off his cigarette, paced back and forth, and said excitedly: "This is a grand event in the Hong Kong cultural scene. The four theater chains have given up their political stance, just for a good movie, which is worthy of special mention. Books, make a big splash."

"Haha, is the momentum of Xiangjiang still needed to be built? Once the news of the four-line screening comes out, it will definitely spread throughout the whole of Xiangjiang."

"This I have to go back to report the matter and get some preferential policies for Mr. Zhang." Liu Wenyan said.

"It should be, return the favor, and don't let patriots chill." Yuan Yangan recognized nodded.

A week later, people in Xiangjiang City accidentally found Jiahe, Shao Clan, Lisheng, and Yindu four cinema chains in front of the cinema, and at the same time hung a movie poster, Hollywood movie, "ET Alien". people".

Dressed in the skin of a Hollywood movie, and privately engaged in public opinion about a family in China and Hong Kong, I have to say that it is a wonder of the times.

"ET Alien" was painted on Hong Kong for 30 days, with a total box office revenue of 34 million, setting a new record at the Hong Kong box office.

Among them, Hollywood sci-fi films have a certain bonus for four-line screenings, but DreamWorks jointly produced them, but they escaped the heavy taxation of imported films, and the four theaters made a lot of money. Full, it is equivalent to launching a 10 million box office movie each, but since "ET Alien" has to share the account with Amblin Entertainment, the ticket price is increased by 3-5 yuan compared with other movies in the same year. Fortunately, Xiang Jiang City people are married to Hollywood The live acceptance is high, and the film quality is excellent, and it is willing to accept the high ticket price.

This movie earned a box office share of 10 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong alone. DreamWorks made a lot of money. The box office in North America, Taiwan Island, Japan and South Korea, and the mainland have not yet been recorded. Among them, Taiwan Island , Japan and South Korea often become small heads, the North American box office has become the top priority, and the money is still in US dollars, and the number will be extremely terrifying.

Mr. Zhang just waits for the money at the end of the year.

Central, Shu Qi sat in the office of "Film Biweekly", turning a pencil between his fingers, crossed out a person's name on a list on the desktop.

This Shu Qi is not Bi Shuqi, male, a famous editor of Heung Kong Culture, currently serving as the editor-in-chief of "Movie Biweekly", which is the founder of "Movie Biweekly". With sales of nearly 100,000 copies this year, he has a deep understanding of the film industry and film culture, and is keenly aware of the lack of a professional film review publication and a professional film award under the barbaric growth of the Hong Kong film and television industry.

In 1982, the Hong Kong Film Awards was born for the first time. Through the broadcast of Hong Kong Radio, more than a dozen awards such as the best film, the best director, and the best male and female actors were issued, which made up for the cultural circle of the Hong Kong film industry. A blank, after more than ten years, the Hong Kong Film Awards will become one of the three major awards for Chinese-language films.

The other two are "Taiwan Island Golden Horse Award" and "China Golden Rooster Award".

At this time, the first Academy Awards prepared by Shu Qi was about to open, and since Shao Clan Studio was not able to develop, he tried to expand its territory in the film and television industry. For TV broadcast, the first Academy Awards are much more generous than in history.

After thinking about it, Shu Qi crossed out a name on the invitation list because of his literati habits: "That's it."

He handed over the entire list to The clerk said, "According to the list, the award ceremony will be held in the studio of the TVB building at the end of the month. Be sincere and hope that everyone who will be there will be there." It is an award without any influence, commonly known as the "pheasant award", and the source of influence depends on the ability of the organizer, and on the cinema chain, and whether the film company will give it or not. That's right.

"I understand, Mr. Shu." The editor nodded, took the list and left, and went to invite according to the list...

Wu Yusen, Li Dawei, Mai Jia, Gao Zhishen, Cheng Long , Hong Jingbao, Chu Yuan, all the famous directors and stars, all received the invitation letter and nomination letter for the award ceremony, Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, Lei Juekun, the three bosses received the same letter.

Zhang Guobin was informed by his secretary that he learned that the first Hong Kong Film Awards had been held. Looking at the account of "Movie Biweekly", I thought, when the Academy Awards are held, the other party should apologize, right?

But until now, there has been no movement at all, and his existence has been directly ignored.

"Maybe you didn't nominate and the organizer didn't notify you." The female secretary said aloud, observing her words.

"Oh, then he informed Shao Yifu, Zou Huaiwen, and Lei Juekun, why, these three bosses directed the filming last year?" Zhang Guobin was in a bad mood.

The 1982 awards ceremony must be an inventory of 1981. In 1981, Zhang Guobin did not direct the film, but he starred in "The True Color of Heroes II".

"No, Mr. Zhang." The female secretary trembling with fear said: "Do you have any opinion on the Academy Awards?"

"I think they don't respect me." Zhang Guobin Brows knit said, shuh, the female secretary's expression changed suddenly, Boss said this, and things went viral.
