Margaret said a few words to the bodyguard, and the bodyguard leader immediately quit.
Something happened and they were out of luck.
Nothing happened, just letting Margaret appear in public alone would be a dereliction of duty, and they would be in trouble as well.
In the end, only one bodyguard could be separated to follow Margaret openly, while the others followed secretly.
Pingzhi, who was sitting with Chu Xiangqian, entered the Diamond Mountain set. Chu Xiangqian was soon in the editing room of the set, with the director, editor, Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and others doing the finishing work.
"Boss", wrinkled and surprised, Margaret followed Chu Qianqian, wearing a pink hat with a large brim and sunglasses.
After confirming Margaret's identity, Wrinkle Huai hurriedly said hello.
Margaret also smiled and replied a few words, which immediately made Rang Wuxianhuai feel that she was actually very talkative.
Chu Qianqian nodded towards Wrinkle Huai, "Can the movie be played?"
"No problem", Wrinkle Huai naturally knew what Chu Xiangqian meant, "It is expected that after 11 film rolls are developed the day after tomorrow, it will be released in new theaters."
Margaery thought about it for a few seconds and suddenly realized that there was really no chance of a box office hit with a bad image.
Wrinkle Huai has learned a lot about the new boss in the past two days, so he doesn't believe that Chu Xiangqiang will be unable to handle the later matters.
The half-month release period only allows the theater chain to make money, and it can also impact other theater chains.
Looking at Wrinkle Huai and Chu Qianqian, he said, "You heard that Cao Dahua and Boss Cao's Palace Theater at Diamond Mountain Studios are basically full every time as long as no famous actors come on stage to sing.
As long as the bottom line of net profit of 1 million per year is exceeded, 5% of the company's less profit goes to the general manager and 3% to the production director.
Seventh, while you are looking for scripts and making your own shooting plans and projects, you should also spend some energy and time to check out Bai Laoxiao's plan for his last movie."
Margery said proudly, "When you ask the actor who plays opposite you, don't care whether you can catch it or not, just attack you with all his strength.
Waiting for the first fight, it is not the plot where the master of the Eagle Claw Gate played by Margery kills the master of the Serpentine Gate.
But the specific results will depend on the actual effect.
If the production process goes smoothly, you will actually make the seventh and eighth movies. After all, the theaters are just outside here, and fewer movies need to be shown.
Wrinkle Huai and Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly. If the local box office sales were small, it would indeed be enough for the company to get through kung fu movies.
When there are bad movies released in the company, showing those types of movies can attract middle-aged and elderly people, which is equivalent to expanding your audience group.
Nowadays, in the film industry, the two of us can be considered small figures.
Jin Yuhuan laughed, and Wrinkle Huai also smiled and said, "Achang, don't forget that there is no off-season for theater chains. And you are a new theater chain, so attracting traffic is the key.
My film company filmed Futon. I heard it was screened in those places.
"Of course," He Guanchang thought seriously, "even though you watched that movie because of something else. But if you think about it casually, just after watching the first fight, you have a very bad impression of the movie.
."
You've talked with several screenwriters, and there shouldn't be a small market for that type of movie.
"The theater chain is scheduled to open the day after tomorrow, and the movie will be released in 11 theaters at the same time that night."
And in order to encourage the creation of bad movies, the production department does not even have a 2% bonus as a bonus.
Moreover, the popularity of listening to operas is even lower than that of movies.
It was because of Margaery's careless calculation that in those days, if the box office wanted to exceed one million, the probability was basically zero.
It’s like attracting customers from outside your theater chain. No matter how you calculate it, it’s a loss.”
It seems that I did not have the foresight to focus on other places as soon as I finished.
Qize himself and his two employees who left Shaw Brothers will be called Qiqizi and brainless idiots again.
If it costs less than 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, it is considered a small explosion.
You can buy a house in one year.
But although the movie time is longer, the price is also two to eight times cheaper.
"Yes, there is a problem, boss." Wrinkle Huai now truly feels that the new boss's structure is far different from that of Shaw Brothers who only focused on the box office of Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.
Just when he was about to do that, he thought of Wrinkle Huai but he hesitated and asked, "Boss, in fact, if you invite famous actors and theater troupes from the mainland, you can still get it right in one step.
He Guanchang nodded, "It is indeed very attractive. I feel that the movies with fighting scenes I have watched in the future are like big children fighting after watching that movie."
After Margaery finished speaking, her heart moved.
If there is no such precedent, it means that we have not yet opened up the distribution channels for you.
For a few minutes, when the master of the Eagle Claw Sect played by Jin Yuhuan appeared for the first time, He Guanchangte, who was whispering, was immediately attracted by the movie.
If it is as full as the Palace Theater, the morning, afternoon 7 o'clock and 10 o'clock slots combined, there will be less than 8,9 thousand in a day.
He secretly scolded Lard Boy for looking exactly like Fatty Wang, and his brain was not very flexible.
If so, would your company’s seventh film also be placed under the costume category?"
Currently, other movies in the company do not have the opportunity to log in and earn US dollars and British pounds.
But because the work and position are the same, the perspective and the small picture are better than others.
It's just that he has too many things to do, and often doesn't take care of the post-production of the movie.
I made seven movies, and I was responsible for all of them. If it had been a few days later when Jin Yu was off work, I would have dared to think about anything, let alone realize it.
At most, we need to establish relationships with local theater chains."
Margaery waved her hand, "Your time is very tight. You will be going to London in a few days. For matters such as lion dance, he will discuss and decide on your behalf with Bai Laoxiao. It won't be a big fuss the morning before yesterday."<
/p>
You don’t have 11 cinemas with a total of 3,700 seats.
Jin Yuhuan covered his mouth and smiled, but after thinking about it, he realized that the fight just now was indeed very dull.
It definitely won’t be done in less than ten days and a half.”
Just listen to Margaery continue to say, "If the Snake-Shaped Trickster was sold on Hong Kong Island, the box office in the city would also be over one million, or even over two million.
The movie broadcast period on Hong Kong Island basically only lasts for half a month. No wonder so few people quit the film industry, and less than 90% of them lose money.
Adding in the morning and midnight shows, the total difference is small and the box office is the same.
Invite some more lion dance teams to come over for some quiet time?"
Jin Yuhuan naturally agreed wholeheartedly. During those two days together, any fool could tell that the boss actually paid more attention to wrinkles and breasts.
You plan to sell the distribution rights of that film to a London film company while you are in England.
Based on the fact that the seat rate is only less than 2,000 yuan, a movie showing at 7 o'clock in the evening will not cost 2,000 yuan per movie.
No wonder Wrinkle was so pregnant just now, Jin Yuhuan waved his hand, "Achang, the task of their production department in the first half of this year is to make two Aaron's movies and a Cantonese opera movie. First, you give him a target for the movie of his choice. Seeing that Margery seemed to be sarcastic, Wrinkle nodded hurriedly, "Understood, boss, you will contact Mr. Bai tomorrow afternoon to discuss the opening the day before yesterday."
Moreover, it was actually difficult to take pictures. Wrinkle Huai looked at Chu Qianqian with no determination, "Achang, what if you try?"
There is a way. That movie is your first step out of that industry and you invest in it. Plus, your kung fu is several levels better than that of an actor.
Nodding hurriedly, "Boss is worried, you will complete the tasks you assigned as soon as possible."
4,004 in one day, 44,000 in ten days. Boss, that’s not risky.”
Wrinkle Huai and Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up, the ticket price for listening to a play was more expensive than watching a movie.
Jin Yuhuan asked hurriedly, "So, he hates that movie?"
Eighth, the boss has basically delegated power, and this is not famous for his two general managers and production directors.
Yes, that’s how people are. It’s just Margery, the boss, who wants to make less money. We both actually want the company to make less money.
Of course, a performance basically lasts 3 hours, or even 4 hours.
Moreover, we have to take a long-term view. Even if a movie of that type is a small hit, the restrictions of various countries determine where the box office of that type of movie will be low."
Just watch, your company is just making kung fu movies, which will keep you busy for several years.
At that time, your side will lose money, and my cinema will have to lose even less.
I'm temporarily looking for someone to replace me. Director, I beg you to take my place.
You guys think that if you go to the Mainland and hire a few Cantonese opera teachers and troupes to film the operas, you can attract these people who hate operas to leave the cinema?"
And the method is more powerful than imagined.
Let’s do another questionnaire, I’m sure Gui Lao thinks it’s wrong.
As for movies, they are basically only seen by young people and young couples.
Of course Chu Xiangqian was convinced, and if he couldn't even handle the production, how could he not have the nerve to compete with Wrinkle Huai now?
At that time, because of the extremely high penetration rate of television, there might not even be 10,000 households with televisions this year.
Chu Qianqian nodded helplessly, but inwardly he was actually happy.
Wrinkle looked at Margaery in surprise, and secretly thought that even though she knew that her boss would delegate power, she would leave all the business matters to herself. Was this delegating too little power?
After all, the tickets are only 1 to 1 yuan.
After hearing this, Margery looked at Wrinkle Huai with disapproval, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that guy would become one of the top guys in the Hong Kong film industry in the future.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, "The cost of hiring a famous actor is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the minimum cost for a theater troupe is 20,000 yuan. Including the film and crew labor costs, it should be more than 80,000 yuan.
His current task is to determine what the company's last movie will be.
Then if we earn another 1 million, we can get 80,000.
If the box office here in London is also wrong, you plan to find connections and even give it to American film producers for free, so as to promote the film to the United States."
Movies basically cost 1 yuan to 1 yuan and 2 cents each, while listening to a movie costs 3 or 4 yuan.
The first point is the most important. Although the boss is very strict about the shares, the bonuses, or dividends, are quite generous.
Back then, Lei Luo took his boyfriend to the theater and bought tickets from Lard Boy. Each ticket cost 5 yuan.
He Guanchang looked at Margaery in surprise, "Dear, did you understand, or did he really play the role of a good person?"
Moreover, there are only 3,700 seats in the 11 cinemas. Even if all the theaters are full, the box office will exceed HKD 20,000.
The effect of a real fight is naturally duller than a plot pieced together through editing."
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "You and Bai Lao's novels are broken. I only make romantic movies, and you are involved in that type of movies. In case the two bosses of the theater chain beat themselves up.
"That,,,".
If you follow that kind of boss secretly, you will have no bigger future.
Margaery chuckled and said, "On the day of filming, when I was practicing a martial arts routine with another actor, I accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained my ankle.
It was still seven years ago.
In addition, there is an English channel, entertainment activities for special people, not listening to operas, watching movies, playing cards, etc.
Wrinkle held firm for a few seconds, and finally said, "Boss, for such a small matter as the opening of a theater chain, you should ask a Feng Shui master about the auspicious time.
It even makes people feel that Margaret is superhuman, "How were these fighting scenes filmed? Why do you feel that there is basically so little editing?"
At around two o'clock in the morning, Jin Yuhuan and Jin Yuhuan were sitting together outside the theater of the studio, watching the movie playing.
In a few years, these big cinemas and theaters will have to close.
In addition to the previous plot, even if He Guanchang understands Cantonese, he will still be amused by the funny performance of Guo Zhenhua.
Margery continued, "As for the distribution in Southeast Asia, island countries, Taiwan and South Korea, he talked with Bai Lao Xiao Bai Bao.
Wrinkle Huai felt that his throat was not dry after listening to it. If it is released on a small scale in England and the United States, it will open up distribution in Europe and the United States.
And it takes more than ten days and a half to sing.
A box office task of completing millions of net profits every year.
Although the 2% was taken by Chu Xiangqiang alone and shared by everyone in the production department, it also made Chu Xiangqian certain that his production department would be won over by Wuxianhuai.
I just have to do it myself."
Wrinkle Huai and Chu Xiangqian are senior practitioners in the film industry, so they naturally understand what Margaery means.
Did you hear that the mainland has also made many movies with heavy dramas?
Chu Xiangqian praised him with satisfaction, "It seems that it makes sense to leave professional matters to professionals. If it were up to me to do it myself.
After Margery and Wrinkle Huai finished talking about the release, they looked at Chu Qianqian, who was in charge of the production, and said, "He Sheng, the filming of that movie is complete.
If you try to make comedies and gun fight movies again, you won’t be able to make movies without them.”
Margaery naturally had objections, but Chu Xiangqian just did it.
Even among the few ghost bodyguards sitting in the front row, no one often laughed out loud.
Yes, when the film is distributed in those areas, he must control the distribution channels in those areas.
Therefore, you actually have a choice whether to withdraw films from the Mainland or select films from other local film companies, right?"
Margery turned her head and said to Wrinkle Huai, who was sitting in the row in front of her, "Find someone to make an English dubbing version of the film, and try to play a few scenes for the ghost guys to see in the cinema in Causeway Bay.
After thinking for a while, he spoke loudly in Jin Yuhuan's ear, "Boss, you heard that Lardboy and Shangshan Bao, Hong Xing's surname is Jiang, are working together to make a movie together. It's like a costumed Cantonese song with a bit of exposure.
Basically, all men, women and children go to the theater.
Chu Xiangqian also realized that his abilities may be flawed.
If you spend 20,000 to 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, retire one first to try the effect?"
