After finishing breakfast, I adjusted the peach that A Zhen was rubbing against, and Zhang Min's big red lips that were looking for something to eat.

Zhao Donghuai was considering whether to have a morning exercise session before starting a new day's work.

Two seconds later.

Director Zhao chose to exercise for two hours in the morning. After all, life lies in exercise. He is so rich and powerful and cannot starve his two secretaries.

That’s too inhumane!

…………

At around ten o'clock in the morning, when Zhao Donghuai started his formal work, he arrived at the office and received a report from the serious secretary that Fatty King, Du Qifeng and Xu Ke had arrived after returning to Hong Kong for a few days.

These three directors have just started to do post-production work on (Cat and Mouse Game) after getting back from the jet lag, so they probably came here to report something.

After Du Qifeng and the others came in to say hello, as soon as they sat down, Zhao Donghuai smiled and asked his normal secretary to give out a few red envelopes.

"Although the movie hasn't been released yet, the box office shouldn't be too bad. Die Hard and Dragonfly took in US$11 million in its two-day opening weekend. Something can still be hyped up."

Before filming started, he had already given the three directors their respective remunerations. Afterwards, each person was given a huge red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars, which was considered a piece of gay shit.

After all, (Cat and Mouse Game) is a big project that became popular even before it was launched.

Fatty Jing and the others stood up immediately, and Wang Jing even smiled brightly, "No, Zhao Sheng, you really don't need it. You asked us to make such a good movie because you think highly of us. You really don't need the red envelope."

Xu Ke and Du Qifeng were also polite and excused themselves.

Zhao Donghuai glanced at the three of them suspiciously, especially Fatty Jing. Do you think you have too much money? This is obviously unscientific.

After waving his hand for the normal secretary to put away the check, he complained, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Jingcan smiled, "Sheng Zhao, we had a chat and planned to take out a loan together. If we want to invest more, just the same 20 times leverage is enough."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Okay, it's a little late to end the game now, but it's not bad."

Since January 1st, such great directors like Konomi have, of course, taken the full amount of money, including the mortgage of their house, to make money.

So far, this is June 16th, and the Japanese yen has appreciated by about 20% in total. Fatty King originally mortgaged his house and took out a bank loan, took all his original capital, invested more than 10 million, and earned 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

After all, this was Wang Jing in 1986. He had not been able to make a lot of money by bringing goods before. His total net worth was more than 10 million at the beginning, which was a lot.

To put it bluntly, in addition to helping Zhao Donghuai make movies and making a lot of money, he used to write scripts and make movies for Shaw Brothers. How much director's salary can he get?

Starting from films such as "Sister Tuoqiang Bawanghua" (Hardcover Chasing Girls) and other films, after each film became a hit at the box office, Zhao Donghuai's red envelope afterward was more than the salary for filming multiple Shaw Brothers films.

What's more, is the red envelope an income other than the director's salary?

The situation of Du Qifeng and Xu Ke? Du Qifeng is not much better than Wang Jing.

Xu Ke is the strongest. Since he opened a subsidiary of Zhao's Pictures, he has produced blockbuster movies such as the Chinese Ghost Story series, which sold out for more than 20 million yuan in other places. His subsidiary company can get more than 10 million yuan.

Share on sale.

A Chinese Ghost Story trilogy was sold out in other parts of Asia except the mainland, and Xu earned more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong box office can at least recoup the initial investment and make a slight profit. The video revenue of the trilogy has accumulated over 10 million yuan over time.

After all, that was the trilogy's total video earnings.

And you need to know that even the third part of A Chinese Story, starring Xing Zai and Zhang Xueyou, was released on November 12, 1985.

In January, Xu Ke invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange speculation. So far, the value has appreciated by 20% with 20 times leverage? The gross profit earned by Xu Ke in the foreign exchange market is 200 million Hong Kong dollars!

If the settlement is made now, Lao Xu will immediately become a billionaire and a great director with a cash flow of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, including principal and profits.

Thinking of this, Zhao Donghuai asked curiously, "You guys have saved some pocket money by relying on the remuneration from filming (Home Alone) (Cat and Mouse Game), so as not to be strapped for money. Where are you going to borrow money from??"

Wang Jing smiled wildly, "It's still Zhao Sheng, Brother Long, and Brother Sanmao who pledged the director's salary. What you did when you bought the Wanjia Building showed us a new way to play."

"If I can mortgage my salary to make more money now, I will be able to have wealth and freedom in the future. Even if I am reduced to a film arrangement machine like Chu Yuan and work as a tool for a few years, I still have to seize the opportunity to make a fortune thrown by you, Mr. Zhao."

Xu Ke also said excitedly, "Yes, Zhao Sheng, I still have a big Shushan plan in my mind. If I make more money now, I can also learn (super body) in the future and spend a lot of money on special effects like (The Love between Humans and Ghosts)

, burning money on the Shushan project!”

As we all know, Xu Ke has a strong attachment to Shushan.

In 1983, I invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars to make a film (New Shushan Swordsman), and the box office in Hong Kong was 1.59 million... That was 30 million Hong Kong dollars in 1983.

You must know that Zhao Donghuai originally had a total budget of 5 million Hong Kong dollars to prepare for the filming of "New World 1", but countless colleagues complained that he was too arrogant.

Many people doubt whether (New World) will be able to make back its money after it is released.

In the same year, Xu Laoguai made a 30 million Hong Kong dollar big production (Xin Shushan).

That's a big-budget, special-effects movie.

Forget it, in 2000 Xu Keyuan took nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars in production fees from Xiang Laoshi and spent money to invite the Hollywood team to come to Hong Kong to support his own new visual studio in special effects.

I spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars, worked on special effects for almost a year, and filmed a movie (The Legend of Shushan). The box office once again hit the streets, with 11 million in Hong Kong and 20 million in the mainland.

However, there is one thing to say: The Legend of Shushan, which was filmed in 2000, was profitable. First of all, the rights sold in North America were recouped. Secondly, the box office in the mainland was low, which was related to the manipulation. For example, it was released in the mainland on August 17, but the original VCD disc

, it has logged into the market one week in advance on August 10.

Because the distributor believes that it will be fully released in Hong Kong on August 9th, if the genuine VCD disc is not released in advance, it will be pirated and steal the money.

Genuine CDs are available one week in advance, not to mention how pirated versions can capture the market.

Since piracy is rampant a week before release, it is normal for the box office to be low.

For the version released in 2001, let’s put aside the story logic and the like and just talk about the special effects. The special effects of that movie were actually pretty good. They actually spent millions of dollars to make them, and Xu Ke’s own studio in Hong Kong did it. Please

Click on foreign aid.

The special effects cost comparison was done directly in Hollywood, which is much cheaper.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I support you to do it well."

When he looked at Du Qifeng, Sir Du smiled happily, "Boss, I think the script with He Kee's selection of the narrator as the main line is almost complete. I plan to start filming after a week or two of rest."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

After filming New World 2 in February 1984, he wanted to hold back his own community film, but he held it back for four or five months and had no clue.

After filming New World 3 in September 1984, he had the idea of ​​making a community film with Hutchison as the narrator, but at that time it was an inspiration, but the story was not yet concrete and complete.

It’s already the summer of 1986?!

He was speechless for a few seconds and asked curiously, "Have you brought the script?"

Du Qifeng quickly took out the script from his briefcase and made multiple copies. He gave it not only to Zhao Donghuai, but also to Wang Jing and Xu Ke.

After waiting for several people to look through it one by one, Zhao Donghuai put down the notebook after more than ten minutes and said, "Okay, yes, this has the potential to become a classic."

More than ten years in advance, the story trajectory of the first part of the two-part series (Underworld) is almost 90% similar to the original version.

Big D and A Le are running for spokesperson. Dumbledore balances the left and right but does not support Big D. A leading stick has caused a bloody storm.

The biggest difference from the original version is that the puppet faucet used to play chicken is not returned to the mainland when the faucet stick was hidden, but placed in Haojiang. The setting of Dongguan Zai is no longer Dongguan Zai.

But Ma Jiaozai.

Haojiang is also called Majiao.

Big D once again died inhumanely under the shadow of Le Ge's "fishing without a helmet"!

With emotion, he smiled and said, "This is a good book. Who do you want to play?"

Johnnie To is familiar with his family treasures, "I wanted to cast Uncle Deng, Hutchison's eldest uncle, as the master. Big D asked Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Ah Lok chose Lu Liangwei. After Ah Wei played the role of a lame man, his acting skills have obviously improved to a higher level."

"Zhan Mi, I want to choose Li Ming, the plane chooses Guan Lijie, the master Su wants Aaron Kwok, Ma Jiaozi wants Zheng Yinjian... the big head chooses Zheng Zeshi."

"Although there is still a gap between F4's acting skills if they are used on the big screen, but with me and a group of actor-level candidate actors, as long as they are willing to learn, they are not afraid of hardship."

What a great guy!

Le Shao’s five godsons chose F4 plus Zheng Zeshi??

Wang Jing answered, and his face and body trembled with laughter, "Those guys still have pursuits. When I wanted to make a new idol drama, didn't I just add a vicious stepmother and step sisters? One competes with the other and avoids them.

Snakes and scorpions.”

"If it weren't for ATV's great reputation, and I roped in Ah Rong to star in it, that idol drama wouldn't have been able to reach its current heights."

Of course Fatty Jing was happy. Although the 1 million red envelope given by Zhao Sheng was a big deal, but faced with the super-wealthy way of riding on the Plaza Accord, he still had to mortgage his salary and borrow money to increase investment to make even more huge profits.

Have you ever seen an old man named Xu earn 200 million Hong Kong dollars?

When the daily yen foreign exchange investment is completed, he will have the capital to follow the example of Xu Ke, Hong Yinbao, Lin Zhengying and others, and open a subsidiary company under the Zhao family to make money.

Zhao Donghuai also laughed, "Okay, let's settle it like this. By the way, I still have a notebook here. Once I take it, it will be able to win the Cannes Palme d'Or, the Berlin Golden Bear, or the Oscars like (Juno)."

Who of you is coming?"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

The three directors all stared at each other. After looking at each other, it was Xu Ke who said, "Let me do it. For the time being, I feel that I am stronger than the two of them."

Du Qifeng rolled his eyes wildly, thought for a while and shook his head, "I want to prepare for the underworld with all my strength. This is my obsession."

Anyway, here in Zhao Donghuai, there will be no shortage of such opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if I missed it this time, I’ll wait patiently in the future.
To be continued...
