Now that she sees that Yazhi has achieved results, she naturally feels a sense of urgency!

As time passes slowly, at the end of this year, Zhao Hong finally completed the novel "Life of Pi". After his careful craftsmanship, this novel was completed and has 510,000 words. It is considered to be the largest novel he has written in the past few years.

It's a relatively long one.

Zhao Hong started writing in August. He was occupied with other things from time to time, especially when he was at home and rarely wrote. During this period of time when he returned to Xiangjiang, his life was relatively leisurely.

Especially after Yazhi became pregnant, his life was full of beauty. Yazhi was always by his side and rarely went out to hang out!

This gave me a lot of time to write the novel, so I made rapid progress on the novel in more than a month. During this time at the company, everything was as usual, mainly dealing with things that had been assigned before.

So it was very relaxing, and he only went to the company almost every other day.

Zhao Honghua put a lot of thought into the novel "Life of Pi". Since it required certain modifications to the background of pig's feet, some plots of the original version were not suitable.

These must be sorted out slowly and one by one. This is a very tedious and serious matter. It is impossible to write a good article without a rigorous outline.

Fortunately, through slow exploration, Zhao Hong quickly found some tips, which slowly improved his originality skills. This was also what he was deliberately asking himself to do. After being a copywriter for a long time, he still wanted to write something of his own in the future.

December 25

On this day, Zhao Hong asked Jiang Zhiqiang to come to his office. He mainly wanted to find out how the film company was doing this year.

"BOSS, we have independently shot 23 movies this year, and 20 of them have been released now. The total domestic box office is 360 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the most in the past few years. This year, we mainly have "The Butterfly Effect" and "The End of the World".

"Flower" and "A Better Tomorrow" have all exceeded 40 million."

"There are three other films that have exceeded HK$30 million, and the others range from 10 to 20 million. In addition, among the co-produced films, "Police Story 2" also exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars..." Jiang Zhiqiang detailed this year's

The movie results are coming.

This year was the year when his luck exploded. Originally, the position of general manager was not his turn, but due to Chen Boxiang's resignation, he was directly promoted. Then after he took office, several movies became hits, which made

His situation, which was a bit difficult, got better.

Zhao Hong also smiled when she heard about this year's film results. After several years of cultivation, her own film company in Hong Kong ranked first in the box office.

The total box office in Hong Kong this year was HK$1.23 billion, and DreamWorks accounted for almost one-fifth of it. Therefore, a single film company has the largest box office, not only in terms of box office, but also in terms of awards.

Not inferior.

Most of the major awards are won by films invested by DreamWorks. This is mainly related to DreamWorks' policy of investing in films. As long as there is a good script, DreamWorks is willing to invest even if it loses money.

This is why many good movies that did not appear in the original time and space appeared one after another, and many movies with humanistic care became popular.

To be honest, these movie DreamWorks are not losing money. European copyrights are very easy to sell in terms of art films. There are so many countries there, and they are so rich! If you just sell one or two copyrights, you can almost make back the money.

Of course, many art films also have high box office. For example, the film "Autumn Fairy Tale" has achieved high box office. It is a very good art film.

There is no guarantee that commercial films will reach the top of the box office. Many of them are bad films. Therefore, whether a film can have a good box office depends on the director's quality and subject matter, as well as the ideas expressed in the film.

If the whole movie is very depressing, then no matter how good the movie is, its box office won't be very high. In fact, the main purpose of the movie is to make everyone relax.

If this movie can convey something interesting without affecting the viewing experience, it will actually be a very good literary film.

The local box office of DreamWorks Film Company is so good, which is inseparable from having good theaters. DreamWorks' 25 local theaters are all located in prime locations in Hong Kong and places with the best traffic. Places like this

Everything you do is profitable, and movie theaters are no exception.

Another thing is that the art theater chain established by DreamWorks has not lost money. The establishment of these eight theaters has given many art films a living space.

These eight theaters have been renovated again, and the screening halls have been reduced again. In the end, except for a hall with 500 people for premieres, the others were converted into screen halls with a maximum of 100 people. This allows

Many art films are shown for long periods of time.

The vitality of art films is still very tenacious. As long as the cycle can keep up, they usually rarely lose money. Although they do not make much money, this also gives the theaters the motivation to continue to operate.

Zhao Hong did not go there with the intention of making money in the first place, and now she is secretly happy to be able to make a slight profit.

After hearing about the situation of his film company, Zhao Hong asked about the situation of film distribution this year.

"BOSS, distribution companies make more money than film companies. We almost monopolize the distribution rights of other film companies in Hong Kong to Southeast Asia and other places. Each film will charge a distribution fee ranging from 15% to 20%.

"It's so easy to make money!" Jiang Zhiqiang was very excited when he spoke.

Only after taking control of the company did he know how strong the company's financial background is now. It can be said that as long as they control distribution, other film companies in Hong Kong will be their leeks. Of course, the veteran Jiahe is still excepted, but they are now also like Meng in terms of external distribution.

Factory Union.

This is mainly to ensure that their film profits are maximized, because in terms of distribution capabilities, they are still far behind DreamWorks, and they mainly rely on the company's brand.

Golden Harvest's distribution network in Southeast Asia has been completely wiped out by DreamWorks' theater chain. This is mainly because the theaters they cooperate with are no longer making money before, so they are gradually shrinking.

Some time ago, they were slowly getting involved in Southeast Asian theaters and have already purchased three theaters.

Jiang Zhiqiang now feels that it is great to have his own theater chain. In the past, Xiangjiang's movies were screened in Southeast Asia. Even if he had the ability to distribute, he could only get 35% of the box office. This is still a big and powerful company, such as Golden Harvest.

It's hard to say that other companies offer such treatment.

It's different now that we have our own theaters. Our own movies get 50% of the box office, and other companies' movies can get an ideal 35% share when they are distributed by DreamWorks. What else is there?

Not satisfied!

Therefore, many companies are willing to hand over the movie to DreamWorks Distribution Company. You must know that this kind of treatment was only enjoyed by Jiahe in the past. If they hand over the movie to Jiahe for distribution, they can get 20% of the box office share.

Not bad, this is still the case when Jiahe has a good conscience.

If you do some false accounting, there will be almost no profit.

Zhao Hong and Jiang Zhiqiang had a detailed chat about the situation in the Hong Kong film industry during this period before letting him leave. Now DreamWorks' movies have good distribution capabilities in North America.

This is mainly due to the rapid growth of Miramax in the past year. DreamWorks movies were released in North America through their distribution, and they also made a lot of money from it.
Chapter completed!
