I Haven’t Been A Boss For Many Years

“Jiahe has more famous artists than Shao Clan, not to mention the most important thing in Jiahe is the director and the martial arts team, and the famous stars have their own companies.” Zhang Guobin dialed.

"This is actually a kind of free opening."

"Do I still value other Jiahe stars, or do I still value the director of Shao Clan?" Shao Clan It's not that the director can't do it, it's that there are too few available.

In the final analysis, TVB is really a good place to keep making stars, and TVB artist training classes are more talented. When you watch Jiahe, you look at the director, and when you watch Shao Clan, you look at the artist. The two film companies have their own priorities. Even if Shao Clan's film production stops, TVB's starlight will be able to survive for another 20 years by making TV series.

Shao Yifu was speechless.

Zhang Guobin continued: "And I chose to show "Shanggang Banner" in Shao Clan theaters, continuing the violent aesthetics of "True Color", which is a box office hit for Shao Clan. Guarantee, I believe that Shao Clan will not lose money.”

“I will try to put more suitable movies on Shao Clan in the future.”

As for the suitable theme of the movie , what type, earn more and earn less,

The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise sees wisdom, and each takes what he needs.

At present, Hong Kong has not yet promulgated the "Film Censorship Regulations" Chapter 392 of the Laws of Hong Kong Island, and has not adopted a grading system for criminal-themed violent aesthetic films such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", and does not restrict the viewing group, so the film Companies are instinctively more inclined to the most explosive, weird, and gimmicky movie themes, such as crime, murder, and fantasy.

Shao Justin really liked "Shanggang Bannermen" very much, especially the speeding scene in the provincial and Hong Kong bannermen, which is both exciting and explosive, and is an enhanced visual experience.

Film is a visual art after all.

Shao Yifu sighed: "It is unrealistic to open the artist library for free, but I can promise you that as long as the movie you shoot is released on Shao Clan, Shao Clan will give you the use of the artist for free. When I paint on Shao Clan, the commission is 10% of the artist's salary. This money is said to be drawn from the artist, but in fact it is still from you."

Shao Yifu's eyes showed shrewdness: "Unless you I don’t want to work with Shao Clan’s artists anymore.”

“Haha, Mr. Shao is joking. Shao Clan’s artists are outstanding in their business skills and famous. I’m shooting movies in Heung Kong, why can’t I use Shao Clan’s artists? Artist?"

"But I am very satisfied that Mr. Shao can make concessions in the contract, thank you Mr. Shao." Zhang Guobin extend the hand.

Shao Yifu held his palm.

As soon as the two shook hands, they separated immediately, and the cooperation was reached.

"Chu Yuan, go and print the contract." Shao Yifu said to a director Shao Clan who was watching the demo at the same time.

"Yes, Shao Sheng." Chu Yuan immediately left to prepare the contract. Half an hour later, Zhang Guobin and Shao Yifu signed the contract in the office, shook hands with each other again to thank each other, and Shao Yifu sent Chu Yuan to deliver Zhang Guobin Leaving, at the bottom of Shao Clan's building, Chu Yuan personally asked Zhang Guobin for his contact information, praising Mr. Zhang's personality in making movies, and works with personality have the most soul and are the easiest to sell.

This time, after watching Zhang Guobin and Shao Yifu talk about business, Da Bohao did not have any dissatisfaction with Shao Yifu, because he vaguely felt that Binge seemed to have made a profit?

Shao Clan and Jiahe turned on the pumping mode when the suppression was ineffective, and the opening of the resource library to Zhang Guobin was actually a desire for DreamWorks to play more blockbuster movies, and the two theaters to pump more blood, As everyone knows, a giant movie crocodile is about to be fed step by step.

End of December.

Christmas.

Xiangjiang is decorated with lanterns, and the streets are noisy and lively.

On this day, the shops in Tongcai Street and Fa Yuen Street were full of people, and many sneakers, clothing, and bags were sold out. VIPs are like clouds, and the income of the hall in one day exceeds 3 million Hong Kong dollars. On this day, "Happy Ghost" will be screened in the Golden Harvest Cinema...

At the entrance of the Mong Kok Cinema, there is a long queue like a dragon at the ticket office. During this period, citizens with families, couples in love, and classmates who were out of the street lined up one by one along the stairs, and there were bad boys holding Yellow Ox tickets on both sides of the stairs. The "Happy Ghost" series was painted immediately. It became popular, whether it is the plot of the movie, the actors, and the atmosphere of the movie, all of which are in the appetite of Jiang City people. The laughing theater is the second only to horror movies. The casual hugging shoulders and holding hands between laughter, everything seems reasonable and acceptable.

"Happy Ghost" family fun route was a great success, and after the movie ended, some funny NG pictures were cut into a collection and placed after the end of the film, which surprised the audience, especially when the filming was done. The pictures of young actresses slapsticking and acting like a spoiled child are seen happily by children and also by parents. It is said that some idiots bought more than a dozen movie tickets repeatedly to watch the NG picture of Li Lizhen's one-piece swimsuit and waited until the end of the movie to enter the venue.

February 4, 1981, on New Year's Eve.

"Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was painted on the Shao Clan Cinema with sufficient publicity.

"Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" by virtue of the crime theme that maps social hotspots, coupled with the popular speeding pictures, beats many martial arts and comedies released in the same period in one fell swoop, and won 10 million yuan in one month's schedule 300,000 box office, worthy of stepping on the threshold of 10 million box office. "Happy Ghost" won a box office of 14 million in a period of more than a month, with a total of 24.3 million box office, taking one third in the total box office of Heung Kong's opening year.

In addition, since the release time of "Shanggang Flag Soldier" and "Happy Ghost" is only about a month apart, there are only a few days when paintings are hung at the same time, which leads to an obvious phenomenon at the theater ticket office. , The audience who bought "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" usually bought one or two tickets, two or three tickets, but the citizens who bought "Happy Ghost" took five or six, seven or eight tickets in one shot. It can be seen that the two films have different themes. What is the advantage of family comedy comedy?

It is predictable that "Happy Ghost" outperforms "Shanggang Banner" at the box office, and

Zhang Guobin is not surprised at all.

The respective box office of the two films has already reached and exceeded Zhang Boss's expectations. Although the original box office is the benchmark, the factors of the times and inflation must be considered after all...

Zhang Boss said it was cool.

In 1981,

Hong Kong Film Circle,

A heavyweight person jumped to the top of the mountain,

It is worth opening a bottle Lafite.
