Chu Xiangqian will reveal that Wallace and Charles secretly want to make a movie, so he naturally has his own plans.
The market is so big, cultivating the habit of watching romantic movies among people in Asan is the most important thing to consider now.
Looking at Charles and Blair, he said, "Gentlemen, the market is so big and there are so many film companies. Whether you can make money depends on your vision and screenwriting ability.
If you want to join, I don't care.
And to be honest, I really want you to join this industry.
If this kind of movie is played locally in the future, we don’t have to worry about being banned.
Secondly, the demand for films in Asan, Southeast Asia, and island countries, South Korea, will not be small.
Instead of just relying on me to cultivate the market, we might as well cultivate their habit of watching this kind of movie first, and we can even cooperate.
When the market becomes bigger, more money can be made and the box office will be higher and higher.
In the end, as long as the quality of the movie is good enough, the bigger the cake will be."
Blair, Charles and Baifanyu were all stunned by what he said.
But thinking about it carefully, Chu Xiangqian was really right.
Since we are not competitors for the time being, let’s cooperate.
The two ghost guys immediately laughed.
He gave Chu a thumbs up and said, "Chu, your business insights are even better than we imagined. It seems that working with you is indeed a wise choice."
Chu Qianqian curled his lips inwardly. In the future, any businessman will understand this approach.
And I have so many movies in my mind that have been tested by the market and are likely to be big hits, so I am not afraid of anyone competing with me.
Of course, some movies can be box office hits, which cannot be separated from the blessing of special timing or opportunities.
But if a movie is a hit, it itself shows that the quality of the movie is good.
In this day and age, making a small profit or maintaining capital should not be a big problem.
And if Chu Xiangqian remembers correctly, a director said that in the 1960s, 7 or 8 of his 10 films made money.
There was even a time when only five movies were filmed in one year, but each of them had a box office of more than 800,000 yuan.
It is then sold to Southeast Asia through Shaw Brothers, and it is common to earn back four or five times the cost.
-----
Chu Qianqian nodded to Baifanyu, and the old guy clapped his hands. Soon the two protagonists of the movie, wearing beautiful kimonos, wooden clogs, and holding a small handbag in their hands, walked in.
He bowed to Blair and Charles without saying a word, and even took the initiative to stand beside them.
The two ghost guys were just aroused by the movie of these two island women.
Seeing Chu Qianqian and Bai Fanyu getting along so well, I felt so happy.
Charles looked at his watch and said with a smile, "Chu, it's getting late. How about we sign a purchase agreement for this movie tomorrow?"
Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently and said, "Then I wish you a happy time."
After sending away the two impatient ghost guys, Chu Xiangqian and Baifanyu also left the screening room.
As he walked, he said, "Uncle, you have to keep the movie master tapes to avoid being stolen.
The loss is okay, but it will be troublesome if we can’t explain it to the ghost guys.”
Baifanyu hurriedly patted his chest and promised, and even said that if anyone dares to mess up on this matter, then his whole family will be sent to swim in the sea.
Chu Xiangqian had no doubts about this at all. After thinking about it, he reminded again, "If you find film producers in the island country of South Korea, remember to tell them that it only costs 2,000 Hong Kong dollars to copy the film here.
If it sells well, we can earn 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars from one hundred copies.
In this way, the cost is recovered, and with the authorization to sell the film, the film can easily earn two to three hundred thousand.
If you are lucky, it is not difficult to earn four or five million.
Once the company's reputation is established, film producers from various countries will come to its door for new movies in the future.
When the time comes to sell five or six good films a year, it will not be difficult to make a net profit of one or two million."
Baifanyu is overjoyed, this is much easier than his other businesses.
"Don't worry, Ah Chu. Uncle keeps his word. When you start shooting your own movie, my people will be at your disposal. If someone makes trouble, I will be responsible for solving it."
Only then did Chu Xiangqian feel relieved, and he also had an idea in his mind about what to shoot for the first film.
First of all, it must be a kung fu movie. There can’t be too many second scenes, and there is no need for big scenes.
When choosing from Uncle Long's movies, the first thing Chu Xiangqian thought of was Snake Fist.
Judging from the market in the 1960s, which was dominated by costumed martial arts films, this film must have taken quite a risk.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that Uncle Long’s costume was not outstanding, and could even be said to be ugly.
At that time, he signed an eight-year contract with Luo Wei and starred in 10 movies, all of which suffered losses.
So much so that when the film producers heard that Uncle Long was playing the role, they immediately rejected it.
Until Wu Siyuan borrowed Uncle Long from Luo Wei for 60,000 Hong Kong dollars for three months, first filming "Snake Shape" and then "Drunken Master", both of which were sold well.
It was even sold abroad, with the first one grossing over 6 million US dollars and the second one 15 million US dollars.
Of course, this box office has been accumulated over several years, and it may not be acceptable abroad in the 1960s.
However, the cost of Snake Trickster and Drunken Master were not high. Chu Xiangqian carefully calculated in his mind, at most a dozen or two hundred thousand.
And as the president of the Wushu Association, there is no shortage of well-established dragon and tiger martial arts masters to act as extras and performers. Even those martial arts masters, for the sake of money and promotion, might be able to hire them at one time.
Come here.
Thinking of this, Chu Qianqian thought of simply taking Guo Zhenhua to see Hong Zhennan and learn the snake-shaped moves in Hong Fist in his martial arts studio.
By the way, let's try to see if any of Hong Zhennan's apprentices are suitable and choose them as supporting roles or supporting roles.
If it doesn't work, then through Hong Zhennan's mouth, call the apprentices from other boxing gyms to choose a few.
Chu Xiangqian didn't have the time to chat with Bai Fanyu now, "Uncle, let's do this for today. I still have something to do to find Master Hong Zhennanhong."
When Baifanyu heard this, he pulled Chu Qianqian and insisted on joining in the fun together.
This old guy is almost semi-retired now, and the gang affairs have long been left to his henchmen to take care of.
Apart from collecting money, eating, drinking and having fun, there is really nothing that he needs to take care of personally.

First, I called Guo Zhenhua and asked him to meet at Hong Zhennan’s martial arts gym.
Baifanyu also said a few words about the white paper umbrella beside him, and simply got into Chu Qianqian's car and asked his younger brother to follow him all the way to Hong Zhennan's house.
As soon as he got off the bus, he was recognized by several of Hong Zhennan's apprentices.
They all ran out excitedly, clasped their fists in salute to Chu who was getting out of the car, and shouted "Master Chu".
Chu Qianqian nodded with a smile and said to Baifanyu who got off the car, "Hurry up and call Boss Bai, maybe you can earn some pocket money for use."
Baifanyu glared at Chu Qianqian angrily, but quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.
I wanted to give him 10 yuan, but then I thought about it. While giving Chu Xiangqian some face, I could also make friends with Hong Zhennan.
Just give each person a 100 note.
This is equivalent to a month's salary of a clerk in the market managed by Hong Zhennan. Hong Zhennan's three apprentices were so happy that they all smiled crookedly.
He hurriedly thanked Chu Qianqian and Baifanyu.
Chu Qianqian smiled and waved his hands. He sold gifts worth dozens of dollars in several shops next door and across the street, and brought the same gift of rice and fish to his door.
The three young men from before had also informed Hong Zhennan a long time ago.
As soon as he walked out of the last store, he saw Hong Zhennan hurriedly walked out of the door and held his hands towards Chu Qianqian.
Chu Qianqian laughed, handed the gifts to several disciples he knew, and said to Hong Zhennan, "Master Hong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Hong Zhennan smiled and waved his hands, "No, now Aki is in charge of even teaching boxing. I just sit there and talk."
Chu Qianqian was startled and looked at Hong Zhennan carefully, and saw that his complexion was a little poor and he had lost a lot of weight.
I sighed in my heart, but said on my lips, "Master Hong taught me Hong Quan. From now on, if I have nothing to do, I will come and help Aji teach the students a few tricks."
Hong Zhennan and his disciples were overjoyed. With Chu Xiangqian's words, if anyone wants to kick the gym in the future, they must first pass Chu Xiangqian's test.
And with his reputation, no gang or mule inside or outside Hong Kong dares to come here to cause trouble.
Hong Zhennan and Bai Fanyu were polite, took Chu Qianqian's hand into the martial arts hall, and invited Chu Qianqian to sit in the right middle hall.
Then I asked Bai Fanyu to sit on the upper right hand seat, and then we started drinking tea and reminiscing about old times.
After chatting for half an hour, a young apprentice walked in with Guo Zhenhua in a suit.
Hong Zhennan, Aji and others also heard Chu Xiangqian say that he wanted to make a movie.
After being polite to Guo Zhenhua, Hong Zhennan said to Aji, "Aji, go and try this little brother and see how his basic skills are?"
Chu Xiangqian hurriedly interjected, "Master Hong, it's not me who raises others' ambitions and destroys my own prestige. Although Guo Zhenhua's knowledge is complex, his fists, feet and skills are rarely flexible.
I know a little bit about Aji's kung fu, so it's no problem for him to teach me boxing, but I lack some experience in actual combat.
How about letting Guo Zhenhua practice it himself?"
Hong Zhennan's face darkened, but he was not angry with Chu Xiangqian. He knew how good his disciples were.
I am determined to learn boxing, but I still need to support myself and even make money to support my family.
Not a pure academic disciple.
He glanced at Aji and was about to listen to Chu Xiangqian, but Aji was a little unconvinced.
Of course, he did not dare to refute Chu Xiangqian.
The lame hao was killed and the word "righteousness" was lost in a short time. By this time, it had already spread throughout Hong Kong Island.
As I admire Chu Xiangqian more and more, I also fear him more deeply.
"Master, isn't your nephew from your hometown coming here? Let him try Mr. Guo's kung fu."
Hong Zhennan slapped his forehead, smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, "Master Chu, I have a cousin who learned the authentic Hong Boxing from my uncle and cousin.
If you are still short of manpower, why not take a look at his quality?"
Chu Xiangqian was originally looking for people to make movies, and even people like Aji were willing to take them, so naturally he didn't mind seeing Hong Zhennan's nephew.
After a while, a big fat man who looked very similar to Hong Zhennan followed Aji in.
Chu Qiang knew as soon as he looked at it that this boy was almost a replica of Hong Zhennan when he was young.
I secretly thought that this boy could be the seed that Hong Zhennan left in his hometown when he was young, right?
But when I think about it, I think it shouldn't be. Concubines are allowed these days, and Hong Zhennan values his only son who is five or six years old.
In other words, Hong Zhennan got a son from old age.
If there really was a biological son in my hometown, I would have taken my biological son over from my hometown long ago after giving birth to six or seven daughters in a row.
The fat man said to Hong Zhennan with some shyness and fear, "Uncle, did you call me?"
Hong Zhennan smiled and nodded, pointing to Chu Qianqian and introducing Baifanyu.
"Sambo, this is my uncle's old friend, Master Chu, who is also recognized as the best kung fu master in Hong Kong Island. The other one is even more amazing. He has created a great career in Hong Kong Island with his fists and brains. Your name is Mr. Bai.
."
Hong Sanbao hurriedly shouted to Chu Qianqian and Baifanyu.
Chu Xiangqian did not look down on anyone and stood up to return the greeting.
As for the white rice fish, he will definitely not stand up.
Firstly, he was already senior, and secondly, if it weren’t for Chu Xiangqian’s sake, in his eyes, Hong Zhennan would be just a small player who occupied a market with his fists.
Later, Hong Zhennan stopped caring about Guo Zhenhua.
My nephew has indeed acquired the true inheritance of Hong Quan. If he can work as an errand under Chu Qianqian, not only will he have a chance to get ahead, but he will also be able to take care of his cousin, Hong Zhennan's younger son.
By the way, these apprentices under me can also live with their nephews in the future, and by the way, they can take over their own mantles and become the leaders of these apprentices.
"Sambo, Master Chu is a true Kung Fu master. It is not an exaggeration to even say that he is a great master. Show your true skills to Master Chu. If I can teach you one and a half moves, it will be enough for you to use throughout your life." p>
Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head. In terms of fighting ability, he was indeed as good as anyone.
But when it comes to moves, they are not necessarily better than those masters who have practiced for decades.
Hong Sanbao had just arrived in Hong Kong Island and was curious about everything here. But the more curious he became, the more uneasy he felt about the unfamiliar environment.
Naturally, the more you listen to your cousin-in-law.
He cupped his hands towards Hong Zhennan, then saluted Chu Qianqian, and then he put on a posture. Every move made people know that he was upright and steady, and his foot plate was solid.
After watching it for a while, Chu Xiangqian also realized that Fatty Hong, nicknamed Teapot, did not have much practical experience.
He nodded to Hong Zhennan, stood up and called to stop the teapot, "Master Hong taught me Hong Quan, and now I will also teach you how to take beatings and hit people."
Hong Zhennan was overjoyed. Although he didn't learn all the Hong Quan skills, he was proficient in a few and had talent. After hard work and many years of actual combat, he was able to make a name for himself.
But compared to Chu Xiangqian, it’s like comparing people to each other, which is very annoying.
Chu Xiangqian is willing to teach his nephew. Needless to say, it must be because of his love for passing on the art.
Unexpectedly, Teapot waved his hand and said, "Master Chu, I have a strong fist. I accidentally hurt someone when I was playing around with someone in my hometown, so I had to come to Hong Kong Island to seek refuge with my uncle."
"Bastard", Hong Zhennan was furious, but Chu Xiangqian said nonchalantly, "If you can touch my upper body with your hands, I will give you a job with a monthly salary of 300."
After Baifanyu listened to the music, he looked at the teapot with a happy face and secretly said that your kid is in trouble.
Hong Zhennan secretly said that Hong Sanbao was a stupid boy.
