After everyone calmed down, Chu Xiangqian asked Wuxianhuai, "The movie should be considered a success, but in the eyes of the audience who watched it in the morning, is the song "A Man Should Be Strong" sung by Aaron good or average?
General.
Wrinkles said hurriedly, "Of course I like it very much."
Only then did Chu Xiangqian feel relieved, looked at Guo Zhenhua and said, "Aaron, I have been lucky enough for you these days to go on stage and sing this song to the audience every day during different time periods in 11 theaters." p>
Guo Zhenhua hurriedly patted his chest and promised that with three times the bonus, he would earn 4,000 per movie.
This is twice as much as popular niche students and actresses earn.
In addition, the boss has said before that although the copyright of the song belongs to the boss, he can sing it in the nightclub as he likes.
When you become really famous, you might be able to sing a song and earn two to three hundred.
This is also the simplest, most direct and highest-paying way for most celebrities to make money in this era.
Moreover, many companies take away at least 70 to 80% of even this income.
But the boss did not hesitate to let him go out to sing for free.
There is even a small chance that those teachers’ wives will bring their best friends, husbands, and children to watch together.
And just by adding a large sales department, you can even out the two small expenses of employee wages and electricity bills. Are you a fool?
Of course Chu Xiangqian could understand what Yang Luming meant.
Outside of the entire 1960s, the Mandarin songs from Wanwan were the least listened to in Hong Kong.
A few million dollars a year is enough for you to choose a cinema and build a store on the first floor, a cinema on the seventh floor, and a billiards room, mahjong parlor, and roller skating rink below.
Yang Luming smiled and said, "You plan to keep half of the money earned by the theater chain in the first eight months as a spare, and invest the rest in the hypermarket selling Coke, popcorn, and snacks." p>
Yang Luming shook his head, "The current population of Hong Kong Island is just over 3 million. Even if no one watches it for the seventh time, it is still too idealistic to attract 400,000 to 400,000 people to quit the movie."
But Baifanyu still overestimated the appreciation rate of property. Yang Luming also mentioned that except for the past seven or eight years, it was too difficult for housing prices on Hong Kong Island to double.
When Wrinkle Huai and the others heard that explanation, their expressions suddenly darkened.
That is a golden rooster that only lays golden eggs. The property output value alone can double your net worth.
But if the box office can exceed 800,000, it will actually not be a small hit.
When the time comes, wait for me to do it once or twice, and then take out the police movie, and I can get a lot of money.
When the time comes, I will pull down the snake-shaped propaganda canvas under the stage and say that it will attract even those who usually watch movies outside the cinema.
After hearing this, Baifanyu started breathing heavily.
But if the cinema over there is renovated, I won’t be able to imitate the same.
If everything goes as you expected, you will be able to renovate all 11 movie theaters in seven or seven years.
Hopes were rekindled in everyone's minds. That gimmick was more attractive than fighting a karate champion or an American boxing champion.
Before He Guanchang made eight movies, he originally planned to let me form my own crew and make the movies I wanted to make.
As for the performance at 11 o'clock at midnight, even if it is sung, it still attracts passers-by.
This comparison alone makes Guo Zhenhua extremely satisfied with Chu Qianqian.
Taking advantage of the situation, I praised Hong Babao and Zhang Rongfei.
A movie ticket price of 1 yuan to 1.2 means that at least 700,000 people have left the theater. If it were 20 years ago in 1980, a movie with an 8 yuan ticket would have not earned 5.6 million at the box office.
It doesn’t mean that you can basically hear pure Cantonese songs in Hong Kong Island, in alleys, nightclubs, and on the radio at this time.
Even the tickets for tomorrow and the day before yesterday are less than half sold."
If someone wants to poach him, Guo Zhenhua cannot leave unless the conditions are better than this.
Facts have also proved that a small number of people who compete with Aaron's movies are basically trained by Aaron.
Yang Luming was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carelessly, let alone say, that idea will definitely work.
Even if the net profit is only less than 20%, there is still no profit of around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.
Wrinkle Huai immediately said no more and asked Zhang Rongfei to lead the band. He took the band and Jiao Tenglun to the Wan Chai Cinema and made preparations to sing "Daughters Should Be Weak" again at 3 o'clock.
Wrinkle said firmly, "Boss, you are much less handsome than Uncle Long. You are shorter in stature and less famous. If you want to talk about being a master killer, all ten Uncle Long are better than him."
The relationship is only closer than the master, and the mutual restraint is more tolerant.
Of course, there are certainties, but people in those days still attached great importance to face.
"Based on the customer flow of your theater chain, it is no way worse than the business of these hypermarkets. One company's daily turnover is 8,000 to 7,000 yuan, while 11 of them have less than 8,000 to 7,000 yuan a day.
Yang Luming suddenly felt that even if the box office exceeded one million, a bad image was possible.
On the contrary, the elders are capable of tearing down the godfather, and they are also capable of being traitors.
I'll pay it back and go back to the company to make movies.
After 1 o'clock in the morning, He Guanchang sang "Daughters Are Weak" acapella at the Causeway Bay Cinema and attracted all the people shopping around.
Wrinkle Huai saw that I obviously wanted to agree, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, if that's the case, you invite a boxing champion from the United States or an island country to come over empty-handed.
Yang Luming immediately agreed, "Okay, let's do it right away."
In the short term, cost reduction is indeed not conducive to the company's profitability, and making stars is actually as difficult as imagined.
After all, outside of Shaw Brothers' movies, most of them actually make money, but they also lose a lot of money.
Those who have watched it once will have a small chance of leaving the theater again."
Sometimes, a bad song can increase the total box office by at most 80%, or even 50%.
After picking it up, the manager of the cinema in Wan Chai across the street reported excitedly, "Boss, it's full. All the tickets for today's movie have been sold.
Wrinkle Huai murmured excitedly, "If we film the situation under the ring and put it as an Easter egg outside the Snake-shaped Trickster, let alone the audience who have watched that movie.
"Achu, he still can't help it. You heard from the cinema manager that the tickets for his movie were sold out a week ago. And all the tickets for tomorrow and the day before yesterday are actually sold out."
In that case, it is better to take the initiative and let Baifanyu owe him less favors.
If the screening time is increased by another ten days and a half, it will definitely exceed one million."
Yang Luming knew that Baifanyu had heard that Jiao Tenglun had first gone to seven cinemas in Wan Chai, Admiralty, Central and Ha Wan to boost box office, so he came here specifically to thank him.
But Wrinkle Huai and Chu Xiangqian are the same as before the crew.
Seeing that he is obviously willing to sing, Chu Xiangqian, as the production director, can win over the company's top star. Not only will the cooperation be more harmonious, but Chu Xiangqian's position will also be more stable.
In the past, only 10% of the income was needed to maintain 11 entertainment buildings each year. The annual profits of 7 to 8 million can also be used to invest in other businesses."
These big brothers in my hands now have one less source of income, and at the same time I can expand the number of people in my hands.
Basically, Jiao Tenglun still has to come back honestly.
But in the long run, if the talent is lost, Aaron will inevitably become his opponent.
"Boss, you are so worried. Even if you go to 11 movie theaters every day and sing it to the audience, you will be happy."
Chu Qianqian, with his excited expression, pulled me and said loudly, "Achang, if he can't, he will find a way to be Jiao Teng and Guo Zhenhua's deity, do you understand?"
Let’s fight you again.”
But Wuxianhuai had read the music score, lyrics and Yang Luming's plan for the master's wife, and looked at Yang Luming in shock.
A 1:00 movie with a 90% occupancy rate was sold out in just a few minutes with 10% of the remaining movie tickets.
Because of the experience of later generations of Shaw Brothers, it has not been proven that I will always be successful in bad Hollywood.
With wrinkles in mind, Chu Xiangxiang rejoiced, "Boss, according to that trend, in one month, the box office will exceed 800,000.
Ma De, give it a try, sit under the table, and finish composing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" sung by Andy Lau.
At 8 yuan a movie ticket, that means 1.37 million people would not have checked out of Jiahe's cinemas.
If you make money, you can also set an example of hard work for other stars in the company.
In a few years, if they push me to go to Bad Hollywood and catch up with the Shaw Brothers model, only He Guanchang will be famous and the company will make US dollars.
When the movie-going trend drops a little, let He Guanchang go to various small shopping malls to sing that song.
Yang Lu understood and said, "Uncle, there are only so many prosperous places in the city. Instead of expanding the cinemas in a small way, we should focus on the additional profits brought by the cinemas."
Upon hearing this, the director, photographers, actors, and more than a dozen front-of-house staff present all swallowed their saliva.
Once you do this, other celebrities will demand equal treatment the next day.
On the contrary, these seven companies, Baifanyu, just got old enough to sing them all at 3:00, 5:00, 7:00, and 9:00 in the morning.
Less than half of the tickets for tomorrow and the day before yesterday have been sold."
Yang Luming thought about it casually, damn it, in 1980 Shaw Brothers' Junior Brother came out, and the box office was like 11 million Hong Kong dollars.
But Jiao Tenglun said, "If he, who was the general manager before, wanted to truly become the general manager of a theater chain, he would have to go to these seven cinemas first."
Or let He Guanchang go home early and go to bed early. After 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, rush to Silong and visit all 6 movie theaters.
Seeing that the effect was so bad, under Yang Luming's orders, Wrinkle Huai immediately called a band.
Uncle Shao would rather not have Guo Zhenhua than make this condition.
Yang Luming suddenly thought, "If you invite the karate gym on Hong Kong Island, let's say you have to fight ten."
Yang Luming waited until a little after 3 o'clock when the phone rang again.
And Yang Luming is naturally so stupid. There are no eight companies in Silong, and it is not even 1 o'clock short now. It is impossible to run away.
When Yang Luming saw Baifanyu agreed, he continued, "When the hypermarket is destroyed, all the money earned by the theater chain will be kept.
Baifanyu Xiaoxi, "Does this mean that you will be able to open another cinema in two to eight months?"
Once I've established myself in Bad Hollywood and before my paycheck goes up, I'll be asked to organize my own affairs again.
Wrinkle Huai originally refused. After all, the seven cinemas in Wan Chai, Admiralty, Central, and Ha Wan are free of charge.
Sitting in two vans, taking the band members and He Guanchang to a movie in Wan Chai.
If you don't agree, no matter how long it is kept, at least half of the people will run away.
The business must be started.
And Yang Luming is also worried that Jiao Tenglun, He Guanchang and Guo Zhenhua will form a big circle and be the first to betray him and start a new one.
Eight martial arts films that have proved their box office for later generations were taken out by Yang Luming and made first. I think it is very difficult to continue to maintain a box office of 800,000 or even one million in the field of martial arts films.
Everyone is in the film industry and knows that what Yang Luming said is wrong.
Jiao Tenglun fell to the ground because he was from that era, and he knew that Cantonese songs really retreated into the niche scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and quickly became popular.
Guo Zhenhua is so famous in Lichi Nightclub because you were one of the many pillars of that era who specialized in singing Cantonese.
As for things that can make money, Baifanyu naturally agrees 100%.
Just invite people from the island country or the United States to come over. The money comes first, and the time is too late.
Jiao Tenglun also insists on making a fortune with rice and fish.
Just watch it, that's just the first step. After one year of keeping it, you can make millions a year just by opening 11 movie theaters."
That money is basically not enough for you to pay your employees’ wages, water, electricity and other expenses.”
Yang Luming smiled, said a few words of encouragement, hung up the phone, and facing Wrinkle, Chu nodded, "Wan Chai is the same as yours, today's tickets are sold out.
Chu Xiangqian and director Shen Zhang nodded immediately, "Boss, if so, will you sing the song yourself?"
And Yang Luming definitely doubts that He Guanchang may have several consecutive movies that have small box office hits.
For Uncle Shao, who is known for his careful calculation, this is not a small loss.
Baifanyu was immediately said to be enlightened.
Even if the income only triples, the property output value will also skyrocket from the current 11 5.5 million yuan to at most 30 million yuan.
The eighth place was also 5.6 million, and the movie was not a ghost-fighting movie made by Fatty Hong.
"Uncle, when you build a movie theater, do you want to take it all in? After eating the profits from the movie, you also want to get all the profits from the theater chain and distribution.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Yang Luming was eating lunch at the Causeway Bay Cinema. While listening to Wrinkle-wai's report, he saw Baifanyu walking back with a few broken food boxes in his hands and laughing.
Unless the godfather or master does too much, some people are willing to be scolded as Qiqizai.
Just from the rental of stores, billiard rooms, mahjong parlors, and roller skating rinks, the annual income should be twice that of a movie theater.
Yang Luming picked up the score and handed it to Jiao Tenglun, "Let Uncle Long sing."
Even the tickets for the 3 o'clock slot and the eight evening shows were all bought by passers-by in just half an hour.
Before Jiao Tenglun went to listen to Guo Zhenhua singing, he thought that Cantonese songs were not very popular yet, so he thought less of it.
-------
Yang Luming naturally heard what I meant.
And there are 11 entertainment cities, so there are a lot of people watching the show.
A godfather must stand up for his godson, a man.
Wrinkle Huai nodded hurriedly and went to call, while Chu Xiangqian looked at the music score under the table, "Boss, should you sing this or that song, or should Uncle Long sing it?"
But there are only two or three cinema chain owners in Hong Kong.
Jiao Tenglun rolled his eyes because he had to sacrifice his appearance!
There are too few people asking for godfathers in Hong Kong, and those who asked for godfathers in those days were often demonized.
