Chapter 232 Fame and Fortune (Third Update!)

Yin Jun didn't know that Li Zhi heard what he said, he touched Li Zhi's forehead, it was slightly hot, thinking that she had a fever and fell asleep.

In fact, looking at the thin and sallow little Li Zhi, Yin Jun blamed himself in his heart.

That's why he couldn't help but uttered such words.

Fortunately, since the day of February 16, 1978, Yin Jun told himself vigilantly that at any time and in front of anyone, he must never talk about someone or something "what will happen in the future".

So Yin Jun stopped in the middle of a lot of words before, and didn't finish.

Even though Li Zhi was still asleep, Yin Jun still remembered how vigilant he was to himself.

Knowing that Li Zhi's family conditions are very bad, this time, Yin Jun came to Li Zhi's house and brought a lot of nutritional products, which are very practical things.

By the way, Yin Jun also bought several sets of clothes and shoes for Li Zhi according to her height.

However, the production team was still very busy, Yin Jun took time to come over at noon, and had already delayed some things, so he just sat for a while, seeing Li Zhi sleeping soundly, Yin Jun went back.

Regarding what Li Zhu said, Li Zhi could go to the production set tomorrow, Yin Jun quickly refused, and told her to rest for at least three days until she was fully recovered.

Otherwise, if you try so hard to film and end up tired, you will definitely get sick again and hurt your body even more.

Li Zhi has to rest for the past few days, so he can only hurry up and shoot the scenes without her participation, and some adjustments are needed.

After she comes back, she has to be slowly guided to enter the state again. This time, she has to be careful, don't let Da Meili have a shadow of acting since she was a child, and then those classic characters in the classics can't come out, Yin Jun I will feel very sorry.

Speaking of which, for some reason, three days later, when Li Zhi returned to the crew after recovering from illness, Yin Jun was pleasantly surprised to find that this little girl seemed to be a different person compared to before.

Whether it is in body movements, expression, or composure, Li Zhi has greatly improved.

Even if there is something unsatisfactory occasionally, Yin Jun will explain it to her carefully once or twice, and she will be able to do it almost exactly.

Li Zhi's transformation surprised Ye Yunxin and the others.

In addition, Wen Bixia was already very good, and Zhang Weijian, Guan Zhilin, and Liu Kaiwei gradually cooperated better and better. The operation of the entire crew, after ten days of starting, finally slowly entered the right track.

The filming of "The Star Knows My Heart" went smoothly, so Yin Jun naturally didn't have to stay there every day.

He can also devote more attention to writing his own scripts and books.

And it was also at this time that "The Prodigal Boy" was officially released a month after its release.

It got a box office of 1.5 million in the fourth week. With a total box office of 12.93 million, it broke the Xiangjiang box office record and became the first film in the history of Xiangjiang to earn more than 12 million.

Seeing "The Prodigal Boy" so invincible, Jiahe, who had been fighting with Wu Siyuan for a long time recently, finally made a decision.

After careful consideration, Golden Harvest finally offered Wu Siyuan a sky-high price - 6 million Hong Kong dollars!

6 million to buy out all the rights and interests of "The Prodigal Boy" in other places, including screenings, TV broadcasts, etc.

This price is much more than Jiahe's own income from "Owl and Dumbo".

Unless "The Prodigal Boy" sells better than "Owl and Dumbo" in other cities, Golden Harvest's hard work will be in vain.

Seeing this price, Wu Siyuan naturally couldn't resist, and after asking Yin Jun, he chose to make a deal.

And this buyout price once again caused a sensation in the Xiangjiang film circle.

6 million!

Wu Siyuan can get 6 million foreign income, which is already equivalent to the box office of the top five box office works in Xiangjiang last year!

Last year's box office champion "Seven Days of Love", Guan Shan's total income was only more than 4 million, which is much less than this.

Wu Siyuan was able to get so much at one go just by relying on prices from other places. How could he not be envied and hated?

Everyone calculated an account for Wu Siyuan. Adding up his local and out-of-town income, the income of "Prodigal Boy" should be about 11 million. Even if the high script fee and production cost are removed, his net profit should be 10 million yuan. It is around 8 million.

Seeing everyone's greediness, Wu Siyuan hastily announced that the money was not his own. 10% of Siyuan Film Company's profits belonged to Yin Jun's dividends, and the rest of the actors, directors and other staff also had more than Everyone has a share in the 5% dividend.

okay.

So everyone calculated again, Yin Jun's income is almost 2 million, and he can get so much for writing a script. In the boundary of Xiangjiang, there is only this gold medal screenwriter!

Thanks also to the fact that in the 1970s, film companies were mostly speculators, and there were not many clubs who wanted to use movies to launder their rights. When clubs were rampant, it should be after 1988, when Xiangjiang movies were in full swing.

Otherwise, Yin Jun must hire bodyguards now!

On the other hand, many people are also watching Jiahe's next move.

Because Golden Harvest showed its face too much this time, the out-of-town buyout price of 6 million yuan for a movie can be taken out.

The price offered by Shaw's competition for "The Prodigal Boy" was only 3 million, and Golden Harvest doubled it in one breath, which is really a dangerous move.

But at the same time, everyone felt that Golden Harvest was really brave enough to spend so much money to buy movies.

This kind of arrogance alone is far better than Shaw Brothers.

As a result, Golden Harvest did not disappoint people, and their operation was even more superb than people imagined.

When Golden Harvest was established, of course, it couldn't be the money of entrepreneurs like Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. Although they had a lot of savings, they were still far from starting a company and requiring so much money to operate it.

Therefore, part of Golden Harvest is invested by Cathay Pacific, part is invested by Japanese, and part is invested by British foreign firms.

It's just that when Golden Harvest was in a downturn, these foreign investors sold their stocks one after another.

Otherwise, why do you think that Golden Harvest's films have a huge market in Japan from beginning to end?

Not to mention Cheng Long, Lian Xu Guanjie, who became a generation of Japanese idols, and even Li Xiaolong, who beat up little Japan every movie. Movies are very popular in Japan. Without the efforts of Japanese shareholders, can they do so well?

Of course, more than 50% of Golden Harvest's shares are still controlled by Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and other Chinese people. Foreign capital is just investment, not controlling.

This also brought Golden Harvest a lot of autonomy, allowing them to make movies according to their own ideas.

After all, when they came out of Shaw Brothers, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang vowed not to be controlled by others, but to do what they wanted to do by themselves. If the Japanese, Singaporeans, and British took control, what would they do? Do business?

On the second day after signing the buyout contract, Golden Harvest announced that it would sell the rights to the Japanese screening of "The Prodigal Boy" for a total price of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars; the Korean copyright sold for a total of 800,000 Hong Kong dollars;

Waiting for another day, the Thai copyright, Vietnamese copyright, European copyright, etc. were added together, and a total of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars was bought.

With such an outright sale of rights, Golden Harvest earned a total of 5.8 million Hong Kong dollars, almost recovering the cost.

Then there is another piece of fat, which is the cooperation with Cathay Pacific Cinemas in Southeast Asia. In places like Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, Cathay Pacific Cinemas has movie theaters. With so many Flying Elephants, Golden Harvest can also make a net profit of 4-5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Based on this calculation, Golden Harvest should have earned more than 4 million in operating "The Prodigal Boy".

Originally, many people were waiting for Jiahe to suffer.

Unexpectedly, they have already found a buyer in just a few days, and the profit prospect is promising.

At this time, everyone realized that Golden Harvest must have contacted these foreign film producers early on, and only dared to offer a buyout price of 6 million after discounting their prices.

But no matter what, the movie "The Prodigal Boy" has indeed achieved great success. Both Siyuan Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company have gained both fame and fortune.

There are also the main creators.

Needless to say, Yin Jun, no one can shake his title of Xiangjiang's first gold medal screenwriter. He belongs to the absolute top one, and no one can compare with him at all.

Lin Zhengying, who had achieved such success in directing a film for the first time, was originally invited by several film companies to make a TV series, but Hong Jinbao hurried over and asked him to stay in his Baohe company. Inside will definitely let him start filming another movie, the conditions are no worse than outside.

Moreover, the various salaries given to Lin Zhengying on weekdays have been increased by at least two times. Hong Jinbao really hurts this money.

Including Yuan Biao.

This little man who usually followed his senior brother was not very noticeable at first, but at this moment he has become another new kung fu star.

Even now as soon as he goes out, others shout, "Hey, Liang Zan is here!"

From this we can see how much help "The Prodigal Boy" has brought to Yuan Biao.

For such a promising junior, Hong Jinbao naturally went all out to win over him.

In addition to promising Yuan Biao to make two new films this year, Hong Jinbao also gave Yuan Biao a car, which made Yuan Biao laugh.

When filming "The Prodigal Boy", Wu Siyuan didn't treat him badly, and gave him 100,000 yuan, and finally gave him an extra 50,000 yuan in dividends.

But the elder brother gave him a car worth more than 50,000 yuan for nothing, which is a windfall!

It seems that being famous is really good!
