Chapter 2268 The Benefits of Cooperation

Faced with Wang Jing's concession, Xiao Qi didn't mean to be greedy.

He didn't know how popular Wang Jing's movie would be, but he felt that it was rare to have a good movie in Hong Kong, so he had to take care of himself no matter what.

The male number two, Xiao Qi, is going to give it to the contracted actor of Kiwi, the female lead is going to be given to Song Jiejie or Du Feixing, and the male number three is going to be given to Baoyu Group as a gift. As for the villain number one in the play, he is still Prepare to leave it to Wang Jing.

In fact, Wang Jing didn't suffer from such a situation. He was the number one hero and the number one villain. Xiao Qi only took care of the investment. The director and producer were Wang Jing's shoulders, and he had a lot of power.

Besides, Wang Jing has never been someone who is easy to seize power. The biggest factor for him to make movies is to make money. As long as you can make him make money, he can give you a lot of money by throwing a bunch of bad actors, let alone Xiao Qi. The cast is definitely a domestic first- and second-tier star, which will only add luster to "The Wind and Cloud of Macau", and will not hold back.

Sure enough, after Xiao Qi said his request, Wang Jing immediately agreed.

Then Wang Jing said with a shy face: "Qi Shao, although my script has just come out, but with your support, I want to work on this year's Lunar New Year file, what do you think?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback.

Isn't this movie supposed to be filmed in 2013 and released in 2014?

Why does Wang Jing want to shoot now?

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Actually, I have this idea in my mind a long time ago. It can almost be regarded as one of the God of Gamblers series. It's just that the market was not good a few years ago, and it would be a waste to take it out, so I haven't planned it in detail." Wang Jing said with a smile. "But "If You Are the One 1" last year, "If You Are the One 2" last year, and this year's "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin" and so on, all grossed more than 200 to 300 million yuan at the box office. I can use it to maximize profits, so I came to find you Qi Shao."

So this is ah!

Xiao Qi's thoughts suddenly brightened.

In the previous life, Avatar in 2010, Transformers in 2011, Lost in Thailand in 2012, and Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons in 2013... all directly broke through 1 billion box office. Therefore, Wang Jing knew that the time had come, and took advantage of the opportunity to launch "The Wind and Cloud of Macau" starring Zhou Runfa. Want to get a share of the already hot mainland market.

Unexpectedly, because of his own reasons, especially the 600 million box office record of "If You Are the One 2", Wang Jing was moved in advance, and it was reasonable to want to release "Macao Wind and Cloud".

After pondering over the past, Xiao Qi asked deeply, "How much budget do you want?"

Wang Jing chuckled. "My 50 million, 60 million is not too little, 80 million, 90 million is not too much, you can just give it as you see."

"Then 90 million!" Xiao Qi waved his hand.

"That's great!" Wang Jing was overjoyed, looked at the indifferent Xiao Qi, and felt a little embarrassed, "The main reason is that Zhou Runfa's salary is relatively high, and he needs 20 million. The budget of 90 million is more than I imagined, but I can shoot more carefully and strive for the best effect."

"Isn't his market price 30 million?" Xiao Qi asked gossipingly.

"Nonsense, who can afford more than 30 million yuan to hire him? He won't go to Hollywood once. He feels that every film he makes must follow Hollywood standards, otherwise why don't he go to Hollywood and return to Hong Kong?" Wang said. Jing laughed. "We veterans know that, so we never hire him at the highest price. It's just a reasonable benchmark price. Only those local tyrants in the mainland will spend money recklessly!"

Xiao Qi nodded. Over the past few years, mainland China has often offered high remunerations to invite Hong Kong superstars to act in movies, but the people took the money, and when they came back, they would say that the mainland was unprofessional.

Among them are the reasons why these movie stars are not in tune with the mainland, and they are not used to it, and there are also reasons why the mainland bosses feel that "I am a rich man, so you should listen to me", which leads to the unhappiness between the two parties.

"But that's what I said, but few people can afford him now." Wang Jing sighed. "Chen Long only shoots his own movies, Xingzi can't think of many movies at all. Now he is more cautious. Only Zhou Runfa, if your movie is suitable and the price is suitable, he will act. But 20 million is not enough for everyone Yes, I can have a budget enough to hire him in two or three years, so thank God."

"Where's Dehua? Where's Chaowei?" Xiao Qi asked about the two heavenly kings.

"Dehua's acting skills are not good, and the entertainment effect is not good. He prefers glamorous and positive characters. He rarely accepts movies like mine, and many of us are not suitable." Wang Jing talked eloquently. , "Chao Wei is really good. Just like Zhou Runfa, if you want to be upright, you can be upright, and if you want to be cheap, you can be cheap. But he prefers to take some literary films, and he doesn't like my commercial films very much."

Xiao Qi nodded, and then asked: "How much share do you usually get, Mr. Jing?"

Wang Jing's small eyes rolled, "I'll take as much as you give."

Xiao Qi waved his hand, "I don't know the market of the movie industry, so you can tell me."

Wang Jing said cautiously: "If it's a small production, I usually get a fixed fee. But if it's a big production, I get 5%-8% of the total box office."

"Okay, let's just take 8%!" Xiao Qi said straightforwardly, "I'll let TVB and Kiwi Pictures contact you next time, and we can discuss the details."

"Thank you Qi Shao!"

Wang Jing laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

He, Wang Jing, definitely makes money from making movies, it's just a question of how much he earns and how little he earns.

Now that there is a good movie, plus Zhou Runfa's joining, and the full support of Kiwi Cinema, Xiao Qi also agreed to go to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to help clear up the relationship. It's no wonder that it doesn't make a lot of money!

Based on the minimum box office of 200 million, he can also get 16 million. If he is lucky, he can get more than 30 million!

The most important benefit is not only this "Macao Wind and Cloud", but also because I have successfully established a relationship with Xiao Qi. In the future, as long as I find Xiao Qi for investment, it is definitely better than being trapped in a small fish pond like Hong Kong Much!

As long as I can enter the mainland film market, who can compare to me when it comes to making commercial films?

"Master Jing, I think our cooperation is not limited to "Macao Wind and Cloud"." Xiao Qi smiled, "You can pay attention to find a good book, and you can look for it in Hong Kong. It doesn't matter if you wrote it yourself or found it. Other people’s, as long as you think it’s suitable, you can show it to me! If it’s suitable, we can shoot all of them.”

"How much is enough?" Wang Jing asked with a smile.

"As long as it's a good book, as long as you have the time and energy to make it, it's fine." Xiao Qi said, "You won't doubt my financial resources or my influence in the film industry, will you?"

"it is good!"

Wang Jing patted his thigh, "Qi Shao, you are so bold! I'm not bragging, as long as it's not too difficult, I can make one in two months! If it's a simple comedy, I can do it in a month!"

"We don't shoot low-budget productions." Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "Stars don't need to be big, but the script must be excellent and the filming must be fine, so that they can be popular in the mainland...Those comedies that don't make sense before and after It will no longer be popular in the Mainland.”

"I understand that I have a lot of experience in how to please the audience. In the past, I didn't count on the mainland market, but now I specialize in making films for the mainland market. I will control the scale very well!" Wang Jing patted his chest and said, In front of the big money lord, he couldn't give up.

"That's good! As long as you, Mr. Jing, can make films like God of Gamblers, Play Back to School, The Story of the Deer and Ding Ding, Hong Xiguan... etc., I have to congratulate you in advance and earn more than 100 million yuan every year!" Xiao Qi laughed said.

"Hehe, I can earn so much money in the future, thanks to Qi Shao for your support!" Wang Jing smiled so much that his fat face almost blossomed into a flower.

Not only Wang Jing was very happy, Xiao Qi who sent Wang Jing out also had a smile on his face when he came back.

Wang Jing is quite contradictory. He can make exciting hero movies, such as God of Gamblers, but also good hilarious movies, very salty movies, and fast food movies about shit... …Except for literary films, he doesn’t shoot them, if you ask him for any other films, he can make them look good for you.

But if you look at it over the past few decades, Wang Jing is definitely a business genius who is good at making movies and TV series.

Kiwi Pictures currently lacks enough important directors to sit in charge. Although Wang Jing has his own company, if he can be allowed to cooperate with Kiwi Pictures frequently, it will be of great benefit to improving the profitability of Kiwi Pictures .

For an ordinary director, making one film a year is high-yield, but for Wang Jing, as long as you give him sufficient funds and talents, he can make five or six films a year, which is just like playing.

As long as he cooperates with Kiwi Pictures to make 3 films a year, plus a few more films with other directors, it is enough at this stage.

Even Wang Jing is very good at filming TV series, the speed is fast and the quality is good. Letting him film a TV series for Kiwi Film and Television Company every year is also a good opportunity to increase the influence of Kiwifruit!

Besides TVB, this is also the industry of Xiao Qi's wife. During the cooperation with the mainland, Wang Jing is constantly asked to introduce TVB stars and show their faces in the mainland film market, which will increase their reputation and give them more opportunities in the mainland. There are many opportunities to make movies and TV dramas - their management contracts are all in TVB, TVB has made them popular, and they can get dividends in their remuneration for accepting dramas.

It’s not just about dividends. The more TVB stars go out, the more influential they will be, and more Hong Kong stars will tend to cooperate with TVB. Isn’t that great?

With such an excellent director as Wang Jing joining together, both companies can grow by leaps and bounds! (to be continued ~^~)
