"The movie "A Better Tomorrow" was a smash hit at the box office, taking in 8 million in the five days it was released!"
"DreamWorks! The first movie is a box office hit!"
"Wu Yusen defeated the director of Jiahe"
"Chow Yun-hua gets rid of the box office poison"
"Dillon, unemployed and re-employed!"
Daily newspapers in Hong Kong reported on the grand release of the movie "A Better Tomorrow". People in the industry were very surprised. This "Dream Factory" sounds very domineering, but they don't know where it came from.
Moreover, there is absolutely no one in this cast that can beat them, and it actually became a box office hit!
Movies by Cheng Long, Fatty Hong, Xu Guanjie, etc., which one has not assembled many popular stars can be guaranteed to be successful at the box office.
What a miracle!
Who is the boss of DreamWorks?
The media went to dig up the company's situation one after another, and soon found Lin Zuhui, and the public opinion storm became more intense.
Golden Harvest Movie.
Zou Wenhuai showed a complicated expression on his face and said to He Guanchang: "If it weren't for your godson, I wouldn't release the movie directed by Wu Yusen!"
He Guanchang was unhappy, knowing that his friend was angry.
"Wen Huai, now is not the time to discuss this! We must win the overseas distribution of "A Better Tomorrow"!"
Zou Wenhuai realized that he was only thinking about Wu Yusen, and he didn't expect to miss this incident.
"Yes! This movie has created a field for Hong Kong movies, and the overseas market is worth investing in. I just don't know if that young man will raise the price, and if he will make an issue of Jack's case!"
"No! He has no evidence about Jack's case, so we don't need to worry; besides, we are all people with status. If he does that, it will be difficult for him to behave in the future."
Soon, Zou Wenhuai felt balanced! Because he was thinking that as Golden Harvest's biggest rival, Xinyi City, Golden Princess Cinema did not release "A Better Tomorrow" this time; as for the Debao movie, Golden Harvest didn't care at all.
Now is not the time to think about starting a grudge. It is time to win over DreamWorks and buy out the overseas distribution of "A Better Tomorrow."
...
Lin Zuhui received the visiting Zou Wenhuai at the office of New Era Real Estate. He certainly knew what caused the big bosses in the film industry to come to him.
Zou Wenhuai complimented: "Lin Sheng, you span three industries: real estate, publishing, and film. You must be the next tycoon in Hong Kong!"
It’s smaller, the layout is smaller.
"I just play around with the movie company. I can't go to that company three times a month. I didn't expect the first movie to be a box office hit this time. It seems I have to reward those people properly."
Zou Wenhuai suddenly felt blocked. After all, he was also a long-established film industry tycoon. This young man seemed to be saying that he could gain a foothold in this industry by just playing around.
However, he also knew that Lin Zuhui's words might be true!
At the beginning, many media in Hong Kong didn’t know who the boss of DreamWorks was!
"Lin Sheng, I believe you also know the purpose of my coming. Let me tell you directly. We want to buy out the overseas distribution rights of "A Better Tomorrow"?"
Although Lin Zuhui doesn't care about the money, he is not stupid and he still knows the long-term benefits.
"Zou Sheng, it's hard to talk about the price now. After all, the Hong Kong box office hasn't been released yet!"
"Is Lin Sheng so confident in this movie?"
"It seems to have broken some records. I estimate the box office to be 36 million!"
Zou Wenhuai was shocked. Isn't this the highest box office record in Hong Kong? Looking at this young face, he was so confident. At that moment, Zou Wenhuai actually agreed with his point of view.
"8 million, we are willing to pay 8 million to buy out this movie!" Zou Wenhuai boldly stated a price.
He didn't dare to cheat in front of Lin Zuhui. Others were also good at business. If he turned it around and let Shaw Brothers distribute it overseas, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Lin Zuhui was a little ignorant of the market and asked a layman: "If you buy out the overseas distribution of our movie, will the overseas copyright of this movie still be ours after one year or two years?"
He is really curious about this!
In the future Internet era, these movies will still be able to receive some copyright fees. Each country will charge a little bit, which is also a lot of money. Although he didn't care at that time, he didn't want to lose it.
"Buyout means releasing it once, and the future copyrights will still be in your hands."
Lin Zuhui suddenly realized, and then said: "Let's do it! If the box office of this movie reaches 30 million, you can use 10 million to buy us the overseas distribution rights. With the subject matter of this movie, it will definitely be a big hit in places like RB and Southeast Asia.
Welcome! I want you two million more, but I won’t make a fortune. I’m just very optimistic about the prospects of this movie. If you are reluctant to part with it, we can talk about it after the box office comes out!"
Zou Wenhuai felt that he was much lower than this junior. Two million was easily accepted by others, and he was very determined to offer eight million.
Is this the difference between movies and real estate?
Most of Shaw's wealth comes from real estate. Those theaters and properties are more profitable than his movies. Back then, a Shaw Brothers Theater in Kowloon sold more than 100 million, and that was in the early 1970s.
"If Xiangjiang's box office is 30 million, then we will buy it out for 10 million. Lin Sheng, that's what we agreed."
"Okay! However, when it comes to Hong Kong box office settlement, you have to settle the settlement for us as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to continue investing in filming, so I can't keep pocketing money."
Zou Wenhuai's expression suddenly froze. Is this kid saying that Golden Harvest often delays the box office share?
"Follow the normal process and I'll help you settle the bill as soon as possible."
Lin Zuhui nodded, chatted with Zou Wenhuai for a while, and then personally sent him out of the office.
...
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Lin Zuhui picked up Wang Zuxian from the set. I don't know whether Chen Xiaodong likes to shoot at night, or whether "A Chinese Ghost Story" requires frequent shooting at night. Anyway, this crew has a lot of time to shoot at night.
"Hey, the big boss is in such a good mood today that he is willing to pick up the little girl in person!" Wang Zuxian joked as soon as he got in the car.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She seems to have not come out of the drama yet. Although she is joking, there is still a hint of sadness on her face.
Lin Zuhui used one finger to lift her chin up and looked left and right.
"Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Wang Zuxian rushed over, bared her teeth and claws and said: "I am the female ghost of Lanruo Temple, wow!"
Lin Zuhui hugged her directly, making her unable to move, and said softly in her ear: "Very good! What a female ghost feels like, I just want to try it tonight! It's a pity that I didn't bring the costume back, but I'll have the chance next time
.”
A blush appeared on Wang Zuxian's face, and she pinched Lin Zuhui gently to express her protest.
The protest is invalid!
The love between man and ghost is not over, you must experience it!
They found a high-end food stall and had a late-night snack. Lin Zuhui was dressed in casual clothes, which was different from what he wore during the day. He even wore glasses frames for a slight change.
Wang Zuxian is wearing a lace white shirt and a pretty skirt today, and she is full of fairy spirit; her hair is very long and abundant, which is more in line with the term "fairy spirit".
"How dare you take me out to eat at a food stall? I'm not afraid of gossip tomorrow about a newly rich man taking an actress to eat at a food stall!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I am unmarried and you are not married. You are afraid of others telling you! Besides, gossip magazines will not issue a topic like you do. It should be like this: Lin Zuhui Mingshi actress!"
Wang Zuxian said softly: "What! I don't even have a name! Also, why are you so good at it? Do you often write gossip about our celebrities?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but snicker. Of course she knew that although Lin Zuhui's two magazines contained entertainment news, there was no big gossip and they were very gentle towards artists.
"Can I write gossip about celebrities? I certainly can't. I'm dating celebrities. I can't just allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps!"
"Hehe, it turns out that this is the reason why your two magazines don't write gossip!"
The two of them ate food stalls openly in a crowded place. Lin Zuhui's two bodyguards were at a table next to them, so they didn't worry about safety issues. As for paparazzi and the like, although Lin Zuhui is somewhat famous, his photos are rarely released.
Wang Zuxian is not famous at all, she can only be said to be slightly famous.
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing will be revealed sooner or later, and it will depend on how Lin Zuhui, Guan Jiahui, and Wang Zuxian deal with it.
...
Back at home in Baguio Bay, Lin Zuhui's desire aroused on the road exploded. Before Wang Zuxian could react, Lin Zuhui sealed her mouth.
She resisted and pushed Lin Zuhui away and said softly: "I have to take a shower. I was sweating so much on the set today!" As soon as she finished speaking, she found that her purple skirt had fallen directly on her feet, revealing her round and white thighs.
She shyly wanted to lift up her skirt.
This man's movements were simply too fast. He thought he had lost control from above, but it turned out that he had also lost control from below.
Lin Zuhui picked her up by the waist, walked towards the sofa, and said: "What I want is Nie Xiaoqian's ghostly aura and fairy aura!"
"Master, can you be gentler? You have hurt my family!"
"Hey, little beauty! I am not a scholar who goes to Beijing to take the exam, but a rich scholar who goes to Guobei County to collect debts."
When Wang Zuxian heard this, she shyly punched Lin Zuhui's chest with her small fist.
"Hateful, did you write the script this way on purpose?"
Lin Zuhui suddenly laughed and said: "This is a Chinese story written by Pu Songling, you little illiterate!"
It was better now, the little girl stopped, her hands were around Lin Zuhui's neck, and she just refused to lie down on the sofa.
"Okay, you are mocking me for being uneducated! I don't agree!"
