Dengfeng County Party Committee Building Conference Room.
Lawyer Hu, whom Kang Jianfei hired from Hong Kong, took out the drafted contract and said to Secretary Zheng and County Magistrate Wu: "Please take a look at the contract first to see if there are any errors or omissions."
The contract was long and thick with more than twenty pages. The two parents looked at it for a long time and were already confused by the various terms and phrases in it.
Kang Jianfei very humanely asked Lawyer Hu to explain to them item by item. After two hours of busy work, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the contract content. Under the cameras of reporters from "Luoyang Daily" and the county newspaper, both parties signed the contract.
Name.
Because Kang Jianfei was eager to go to Yunnan to continue filming, Dengfeng County established a Shaolin Temple Contracting Project Promotion Group, headed by County Magistrate Wu himself, to help the establishment of the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School - after all, 750,000
It's not that easy to make money.
The heads of Dengfeng County's agriculture and forestry department and investment promotion department were called in for a meeting. Unfortunately, there were some problems with the tourism department.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the tourism department of the Republic was only a national travel agency. It was not until the 1960s that the China Tourism and Tourism Administration was established, which was responsible for China's tourism industry together with the China International Travel Service. Unfortunately, the Tourism Administration encountered that situation just after it was established.
The movement lasted for ten years and was not resumed until after the reform and opening up.
Up to now, China's tourism bureaus have only been established at the provincial level. Not to mention that Dengfeng County does not have a tourism bureau, and even Luoyang City, where it is located, does not have a tourism bureau.
If Kang Jianfei's Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company wants to be established, it must go to the Zhengzhou Provincial Tourism and Tourism Administration for approval, and then contact the China International Travel Service, which is directly under the Ministry of Finance. Because there are no private travel agencies now, in the future, all overseas people who want to
Travel to Shaolin Temple must be handled by China International Travel Service.
There were so many things to do after that, Kang Jianfei was too lazy to worry about it. He left everything to Hu Juncai to handle. Anyway, now that the contract has been signed, Kang Jianfei is not afraid that the local government will regret it after the release of "Shaolin Temple". As for the establishment of the company and the building restoration work
You can take your time. Kang Jianfei never thought about making Shaolin Temple profitable within three to five years.
Back at the county guest house, Kang Jianfei said to Hu Juncai: "Ah Cai, don't worry about making money. The most important thing now is to renovate the Shaolin Temple. When renovating, you must listen to the opinions of the experts in the design institute. Spend more money."
It doesn’t matter, we must repair the Shaolin Temple.”
Hu Juncai was wearing a suit and leather shoes. His hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a successful person. Unfortunately, this guy's background was exposed as soon as he ate. He made a bowl of noodles and took it back to the guest house room, and took a big bite of it.
A lot of noodles are sucked inside.
Hu Juncai swallowed less than half a bowl of noodles in one mouthful. While chewing, Hu Juncai complained: "This staple food in the north is too unpalatable. The vegetables are too salty to eat, so I can only come back to eat noodles to fill my stomach. Still.
Our south is good..."
Kang Jianfei chuckled: "It's you who is so naughty. If you could have eaten the food received by the county committee three years ago today, I'm afraid you would be able to laugh out of your dreams."
"Hehehe..." Hu Juncai could only laugh. He was different from Kang Jianfei. Kang Jianfei fled to Hong Kong after his parents died, but Hu Juncai had eight brothers and sisters in his family. There were too many people and he couldn't eat enough. So in the past few years
So hungry that he was skin and bones, he followed Kang Jianfei to Hong Kong to make a future regardless of life or death.
Kang Jianfei continued: "After the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company has been established, you sign a cooperation agreement with the Shaolin Temple in the name of the tourism development company. In the future, the company will account for 80% of the Shaolin Temple's ticket and other revenue, and the Shaolin Temple will account for 20%."
Hu Juncai asked strangely: "Didn't we contract the Shaolin Temple? Why do we still need to allocate money to the Shaolin Temple?"
Kang Jianfei explained: "The Shaolin Temple is a religious site, and the mainland authorities are not strict about the management of these. We are actually taking advantage of their legal loopholes. But no matter what, the Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and the Shaolin Temple belong to two units and are strictly separated.
After that, we can save a lot of trouble in the future, otherwise a small local religious management department will block us in the future. If we make the Shaolin Temple bigger and don’t give any benefits to the Shaolin Temple, can those monks not be jealous in the future? Make trouble.
Even if we can win the lawsuit, it will greatly affect the operation of the tourism company."
Hu Juncai said unhappily: "We have invested so much money in the Shaolin Temple, and those monks can divide it if they want. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
Kang Jianfei explained: "Acai, you will be the manager of Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company in the future. You can't keep the same mentality as before. You can't make all the money in this world by yourself. When you make money, you have to eat meat."
Others drink the soup, otherwise someone out of jealousy will overturn the pot and destroy the stove, and then no one will be able to eat."
Hu Juncai nodded thoughtfully and said, "Just use money to stabilize these monks?"
Kang Jianfei said: "In addition to stabilizing them, you also need to understand that religious institutions like Shaolin Temple are different from ordinary companies. We cannot use these monks as employees because the monks' religious affiliations are with the government.
Management, we can't fire them casually. Since we can't coerce them, we can only induce them. If they are tied to us with 20% of their income, then everyone belongs to the same interest group. By then, not only will those monks not be able to tear them down,
On the contrary, our company will work hard to help us make our company bigger and bigger. Even if powerful people join forces with the local government to develop a tourism company in the future, those monks will help us."
Hu Juncai digested it for a while and suddenly asked: "What if those who are planning the company promise more benefits to the monks? These monks may be cheated."
Kang Jianfei smiled and praised: "Yes, you can think of this problem as a great improvement, but you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. First, the monks are Buddhists after all, and their face and reputation are very important. This kind of thing cannot be done easily."
I can do it. Second, the reason why I gave the monks 20% of the profit instead of just 10% is because I have taken into account the questions you raised. 20% of the profit is already a lot. If competitors want to
If we intervene, we have a legal contract in hand, and one will definitely be left for us. The local government needs to participate, so the profits have to be distributed to the local finance. This has already divided most of it, so how can there be more money for the monks?
Profit sharing?"
In fact, the Shaolin Temple itself can only divide 30% of the ticket revenue from the Shaolin Temple in the parallel space, while the local finance takes 70%. As for the increase in ticket prices of the Shaolin Temple, these are all decisions made by the relevant departments of the local government, and the Shaolin Temple does not have any
The right to speak. Those netizens who cursed on the Internet that the monks of Shaolin Temple have no shame and raised the ticket price in order to make money are actually criticizing the wrong person. As for the listing of Shaolin Temple, Master Yongxin has no decision-making power. Everything is done by the relevant departments.
The final say.
After some warnings, Kang Jianfei finally took the crew to Yun/Nan to continue filming.
At this time, in Hong Kong, "The Story of Hu Yue", directed by Ann Hui and starring Chow Yun-fat, Chung Chu-hong, Ng Meng-tat, and Hui Ying-hong, is almost ready to be finished.
This literary film, which was not favored by all film investors, and which Xu Anhua struggled to attract investment for more than half a year, finally gave Kang Jianfei a reasonably qualified answer.
"The Story of Hu Yue" cost a total of 1.27 million in production and promotion, but the local box office in Hong Kong earned 4.51 million in one fell swoop. Presumably in parallel time and space, the release of this film was delayed for more than half a year, because the promotion and distribution were more powerful, and
The ticket price increased slightly, so the box office increased by hundreds of thousands.
The box office of 4.51 million is pretty good for a small-budget movie.
Based on the current cooperation practice between Oriental DreamWorks and Golden Princess, if it is a blockbuster released in prime time, it will usually be 60 or 40% - DreamWorks accounts for 60%. For small-budget films released in regular schedules, DreamWorks and Golden Princess
The theater chain is basically split 50-50. As for "Mr. Zombie 2", a good movie that is not released in the prime time period, the sharing agreement is also based on the first situation.
This is the benefit of large film production companies. They can suppress movie theaters. How can a small company dare to share a share with movie theaters like this?
"The Story of Hu Yue" has a box office of 4.51 million. After deducting the film tax, Oriental DreamWorks can get a little over 2 million, making a net profit of more than 800,000 after the cost. As for the overseas box office of this movie, all box office income will be pure
The profit is huge, which is simply unbelievable for a literary film, because it is rare to make a literary film in Hong Kong without losing money.
The first person to regret was Fang Yihua. Fang Yihua still holds some positions in the Shaw Brothers production department. When Xu Anhua sought investment in the film, she was the first one he found. As a result, Fang Yihua felt that literary films had no future, and the filming
It is also a story about Chinese refugees in Vietnam. She believed that few Hong Kong audiences would watch it, so she directly refused to invest in this literary film that was destined to be a hit on the street.
Companies such as Golden Harvest, Siyuan, and New Art City had almost the same concerns as Fang Yihua, so they all let the movie go.
After the release of "The Story of Hu Yue", it can be said that it was both well-received and well-received. Zhou Runfa, who has always had little presence on the big screen, has received great attention from the media with this film. At the same time, the second male and female lead Wu Mengda and
Hui Yinghong has also received praise from film critics. On the contrary, the heroine Zhong Chuhong has become famous because of her appearance in "Swordsman". Although she performed well in this movie, she did not receive much extra attention.
After "The Story of Hu Yue" was screened, "The Little Life" was released immediately, directed and starred by Eric Tsang, and starring Alan Tam as the male protagonist. Although this modern urban comedy has an average plot, it relies on Alan Tam's appearance and fame.
As well as the hilarious performances of Alan Tam and Eric Tsang, the box office quickly exceeded 5 million. It seems that there should be no problem in breaking 10 million at the final box office.
Just when the media were discussing the myth that Oriental DreamWorks' movies never pay compensation, everyone thought of the same question again, that is: It's almost the Christmas season, but there is no news about Kang Jianfei's new movie. Where is he hiding?
