Chapter 1901 The Beginning of Kung Fu Superstar

Lin Zhengying, Wang Jing and Xu Ke cannot be compared so simply.

In 1983, the 30 million Hong Kong dollar dividend from "Mr. Zombie 3" was the first time anyone could get that much. Prices at that time were much lower than today. Buying a house at that time was about the same as it is now. Two sets.

In fact, this is what Lin Zhengying did. After Yin Jun called him personally, he spent 10 million to buy 15 800-square-foot houses at the end of the year, when housing prices were almost at their lowest.

Now these houses have doubled in price. Even if there is not much price increase in the future, these rents alone are enough to ensure that Lin Zhengying and his family will not go hungry.

The dividend Wang Jing received from "The King of Flowers 2" last year was even more astonishing, totaling HK$133 million.

But everyone knows that this is not the result of Fatty Wang alone. Lin Qingxia is an Oscar-winning actress and has increased the box office in Europe and the United States. In addition, Seiko Matsuda from Japan has also increased Japan's box office by at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars. box office...

But the most that these celebrities received was Lin Qingxia's 3% share. For example, Matsuda Seiko only received 1 million Hong Kong dollars in remuneration, not even dividends.

So Fatty Wang felt quite embarrassed when he got the dividends. He bought each of the heroines a Porsche or Ferrari entry-level sports car. It cost about 3 million US dollars and 24 million Hong Kong dollars, which actually reduced the hatred value a lot. .

If it weren't for the fact that most of them were Yin Jun's women and confidantes, I'm afraid the tabloids would have started to make up all kinds of stories about heroes who love beautiful people.

The story goes too far.

Compared with the two above, Xuke's expected dividend of HK$90 million is certainly sensational.

Although they are all written by Yin Jun, Wang Jing has the support of the Oscar-winning actress and the most popular female stars in the Chinese circle. Xu Ke has a Jet Li in his hands, as well as the effervescently beautiful Thirteenth Aunt. Guan Zhilin.

If it is an ordinary movie, Guan Zhilin's personal charm will definitely not be able to support a movie, but Jet Li has never been good at talking, which is different from Cheng Long, so as the only female character in the movie, Guan Zhilin is certainly outstanding. .

Before going to the Oscars, the title Thirteenth Aunt had already followed Guan Zhilin.

This is originally a good name, but unlike her previous life in "Once Upon a Time" in the 1990s, Guan Zhilin is only 23 years old this year and is not married yet, so she calls her "aunt", which is really a bit depressing.

But no matter what, the popularity of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" also gave Guan Zhilin a trademark of her own in the film industry.

This is much more useful than her vase role in "The King of Flowers", at least it is a useful vase.

But in fact, Guan Zhilin is not the main reason for the success of "Once Upon a Time in China".

The most successful part is of course the extremely exciting fights.

Li Lianjie's kung fu may not be able to beat Li Xiaolong's, but his kung fu is good-looking and cool, and coupled with his handsome face, it will naturally attract people.

The role of Huang Feihong was basically tailor-made for him. The audience even regarded them as one person, and it quickly replaced the image of Huang Feihong played by Mr. Guan in dozens of movies.

no way.

One is a bloated middle-aged man, and the other is a young and handsome martial arts master. There is no comparison between the two.

Li Lianjie then became the man who supported the entire box office.

Even in the eyes of many people who know kung fu, the fights in "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" are too fancy and unrealistic, not as good as Cheng Long's, but the audience just likes them, so the box office is really going up. .

In his previous life, it was precisely because of the support of the "Once Upon a Time" series that Jet Li truly had the ability to stand alone and grew into a superstar.

Specific to this movie, Jet Li did not enjoy the right to share box office dividends at the beginning.

This is also due to a complete system.

Just because Yin Jun knows that "Once Upon a Time in China" will be a success and Jet Li will definitely become a kung fu superstar, we can't give him a salary of 10 million or 20 million.

Although he is no longer a guest actor in "October Siege", he cannot be treated like a superstar.

Taking into account the box office performance of "The Swordsman", Li Lianjie's remuneration for "Once Upon a Time in China" was HK$3 million, plus 2% of the box office profit share, but only after the overall box office reached HK$1 billion. Calculate.

Don't think that this condition is only for Li Lianjie and that it is a preferential treatment for him.

In fact, this is what all the leading actors of Qilin Movies have. It's just that the starting point for dividends is set differently according to the company's expectations for the movie.

For example, the total box office of the previous "Curry Detective" was HK$300 million. However, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and Lizzie did not receive dividend rewards - because Kirin Films expected a total box office of HK$500 million.

After the total box office of "Once Upon a Time in China" reached HK$1 billion, it not only gave Xu Ke his first dividend, but also gave Jet Li his first 3 million dividend.

With such 6 million Hong Kong dollars, Li Lianjie quickly found a scalper and remitted 3 million to the mainland. When he got home, he could get a 1.5 million yuan passbook, which seemed very convenient.

Nowadays, there is a Dragonair flight from Hong Kong to Huajing. There is a round-trip flight every day. It is quite busy near holidays, and the occupancy rate can be more than 90% on weekdays.

Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan were recognized at the airport. After signing dozens of autographs, Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan finally put on masks and sunglasses together.

He also found it funny when he said it. Everyone signed his name by calling "Master Huang". It seems that the character Huang Feihong is quite popular.

After more than 4 hours of flight, it was already night by the time we arrived in Huajing.

At this time, the eldest brother was already waiting in his car.

The car is a Fiat, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan to go through all the procedures, which is very expensive in this era.

This is also the car Li Lianjie bought for his family after he became rich, so that his older mother can go out more conveniently.

He has the best relationship with his eldest brother, so the car is also in his name.

The Li family lives in the countryside of Huajing. After Li Lianjie became rich in the past few years, he followed Wei Xiaofan's example and built big houses for the Li family and the Huang family. This was considered as fulfilling his responsibility.

No matter how much he gave, he didn't give it because Huang Qiuyan said that giving too much would be revenge. It only makes sense to give them when they are in trouble.

Now, except for the elderly, everyone in the family is young and strong, and they can support themselves by working on their own. We cannot let them be lazy, otherwise it will be difficult in the future.

Li Lianjie still listens to his wife's words, so in addition to quietly giving his mother a thousand yuan from time to time, his sisters and brothers only give a little during the New Year and holidays.

This time I returned to Huajing mainly because I couldn't come back during the Spring Festival.

After all, he and Huang Qiuyan were busy with work at that time, and they were nervously doing the promotion work of "Once Upon a Time in China". They were traveling around Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places, so naturally they didn't have time.

Now that the overall situation has been decided and "Once Upon a Time in China" has become a huge hit, they can go home and rest for a while.

The two of them brought back a total of three large boxes, almost all of which were gifts. They carried their own belongings in backpacks.

The eldest brother Li Liansheng helped put the luggage in the car and drove all the way back home. Only when he heard the sound of the car, Zhang Fenglan ran out of the door.

Zhang Fenglan lived with her eldest son, so their rural house was the largest. In addition to the three floors, there were two stove rooms and storage rooms on the courtyard side. The courtyard dam was also 80 square meters in size.

"Xiaojie!"

Zhang Fenglan shed tears when she saw her son coming back, "Let me see, look at mom...she has lost weight...and Qiu Yan too, why have you all lost weight?"

"Mom, I'm fine! Look, I'm a little stronger!" Li Lianjie also felt a little sentimental, but more of the excitement after becoming famous.

In this life, after a person becomes successful and famous, the people he is most willing to tell are his parents.

When Li Lianjie was 2 years old, his father passed away. It was his mother who raised him up, so he has a very good relationship with his mother.

At this time, everyone in the room also came out.

Li Lianjie looked up and saw that it was his second brother, eldest sister and second sister.

Rural people all get married early. The eldest brother and second brother's children are already seven or eight years old. The eldest sister and second sister also have their own small families, and their children are two or three years old.

There are more than a dozen people gathered around here calling Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan, and there is a hint of excitement in the noise.

"Come on, come on, your uncle bought you good things!" After entering the house, Huang Qiuyan opened a box and took out several sets of beautiful spring clothes and shoes.

They are all for her nephews and nieces. According to their age, height and foot length, Huang Qiuyan bought them specially for herself.

There are also small watches, scarves and other items, which look very fashionable in everyone’s eyes.

In the end, everyone had a big red envelope stuffed in their hands, which was a bit thick.

"Thank you, little aunt (little aunt)!"

Several children happily picked up their things, and gave all the red envelopes and other things to their parents.

Each of the other adults also had their own gifts, either suits that were rare in this era, or leather jackets and casual sportswear. Although they looked a bit nondescript in temperament, they were indeed very trendy.

At this moment, the second sister-in-law felt the thickness of the red envelope and couldn't hold it back. She opened it secretly and exclaimed "Oh my god".

Everyone looked towards her and saw her pulling out a pile of colorful money with at least several cards in it.

"How...how can there be 1,000 yuan a piece?" The sister-in-law didn't have much education and didn't know how to read. She stammered, "Isn't it only 10 yuan a piece that's the biggest?"

"Sister-in-law, the biggest one in Xiangjiang is 1,000 yuan. If you go to the bank and ask scalpers to convert it into RMB, it will be 500 yuan." Huang Qiuyan said with a smile, "Here is 6,000 Hong Kong dollars! It can be exchanged for 3,000 yuan in RMB. "The reason why we didn't give the children RMB is because if you want to buy something, you can go directly to the Friendship Store with Hong Kong dollars to buy it, they only accept foreign currency!"

"3000!?"

All the adults were stunned.

This is more than two years’ salary for urban residents!

As a result, the younger brother directly gave four 3,000 yuan! !

Is it possible to make money by making movies in Hong Kong?

Li Lianjie had built houses for them before, but the money spent on repairing the houses did not come from them. Wei Xiaofan directly asked the construction team to do it, and the bills were paid by Wei Xiaofan.

The materials are also of the best quality, so each house costs more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

The family thought it was only tens of thousands.

Now Li Lianjie gave 3,000 yuan to each of his nephews and nieces at once. The shock of this cash was bigger than the house without money.

The eyes of several brothers and sisters looked at Li Lianjie a little differently.

Zhang Fenglan, who was holding Li Lianjie talking, couldn't help but ask her younger son in a low voice: "Xiaojie, don't give out all your money! Don't you just give me 1,000 or 1,000 on weekdays? Are you there? The expenses in Xiangjiang are so huge, why don’t you save them?”

"Mom, I still have a lot! Don't worry, I will definitely make you live a better life in the future!" Li Lianjie said proudly.

Li Lianjie wasn't really famous before, and he was young and didn't save much despite spending money.

Things are different now. "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" made him a big hit, and the second part is about to be filmed, and millions will be paid into the account. How could he be short of money?

However, looking at his mother like this, Li Lianjie did not dare to take out the 100,000 yuan of pension money that he planned to give her at once.

It would be a sin to prevent the old mother from being frightened!
