Chapter 719 Tasted the Sweetness

Huo Jianning reported to Yin Jun and immediately returned to Lin'an with the contract.

In the next month, he will be responsible for signing the contract in Lin'an, and then contacting the construction company, etc., and will be responsible for leveling all the land and completing the five connections and one leveling work.

Then engineers from Philips will fly to La'an to provide guidance on how to build a radio cassette player factory.

In about three months, when the factory building is completed, the 10 production lines that Philips started to schedule at the end of November will be shipped to China and Lin'an to start installation and debugging. Under the guidance of engineers, production is finally carried out.

During this period, Huo Jianning not only had to check the progress of the project and ensure the quality of the project, he was also responsible for recruiting a series of professional talents and training them in the basic knowledge of their work.

Among the 8,000 people, at least the middle and upper-level managers need to be recruited by Huo Jianning in Xiangjiang and the mainland. This more or less 100 people will also cost him a lot of thought, especially when he has to select a few people to take charge of Lin'an for him. The target candidate cannot be careless.

The responsibility of this factory director is related to Kirin Group's first trial of water in the mainland, so it must be the most suitable candidate.

Huo Jianning has been following Yin Jun for a while. He knows that his boss has deep feelings for the mainland and will never allow any Xiangjiang people to show off or show off their power.

It just so happens that many people in Hong Kong look down on mainlanders.

If he doesn't take good care of himself and warn his subordinates sternly from top to bottom, he will be scolded by his boss if something goes wrong, but his face will be disgraced.

Huo Jianning determined that Yin Jun had a bright future, so he was naturally not willing to get off the ship halfway, so he must do his best.

As for professional technicians, Huo Jianning has the influence of the United States and Hong Kong. He is ready to wield a small shovel without hesitation to poach the technical backbones of state-owned electronics factories, especially radio factories.

The entire preparation work must be completed before June, and trial production must begin in June.

In half a year, from scratch, a factory with 8,000 workers was built and production began. Such a plan left all the mainland officials stunned.

The American who opened the mine back then had been preparing for more than a year before slowly starting.

From this, those in the center all admired that Xiangjiang people really pay attention to efficiency. Such fast and active work and production energy are worth learning from us.

Just as Huo Jianning thought, it was absolutely impossible for Yin Jun to keep using Huo Jianning in the cassette player factory. Such a talented and talented Hong Kong job king should be responsible for more comprehensive and specific work.

What Yin Jun admires about Huo Jianning is that he is also good at promoting talents.

In his previous life, there were hundreds of companies under the Changshi Group. Huo Jianning discovered and promoted the top leaders of at least forty or fifty companies, as well as hundreds of middle managers who were also appointed by him.

This time, he is working in the mainland where the situation is relatively complicated as a fledgling. I wonder what kind of talent surprise he can bring to himself?

Yin Jun hopes in his heart that it is best to be from the mainland, because only the mainland people will understand the situation in the mainland better, and in the next few decades, they can be more advantageous in helping Yin Jun expand the mainland market.

In fact, when Yin Jun asked Huo Jianning to go to Lin'an this time, he also wanted Huo Jianning to familiarize himself with the environment in the mainland.

After all, more than half of his company and family business will be located in the mainland in the future. Apart from Huo Jianning, Yin Jun can't think of anyone else in charge.

If Gan Guoliang could train himself, it would be perfectly possible, but I'm afraid that apart from his interest in entertainment, he is not very interested in business.

In December, according to the custom in Hong Kong, people like to celebrate Christmas and the Western New Year, so many movies are released at this time.

But perhaps it was exhausted by the previous summer schedule. Even "Police Academy", which was released on October 30, also won a box office of 2.8 million in the first week of December, which was also the last week of its release. Weekly champion.

Since then, "Police Academy" has become the second highest-grossing movie this year with a box office of 29.5 million.

The first place is naturally Raiders of the Lost Ark’s 43.5 million. Many people believe that this record is lucky to be broken within ten years.

"Police Academy" is screened for six weeks in most markets around the world, so when it is released in Hong Kong, it is basically released in all major box office locations.

In addition to the Hong Kong box office of 29.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the global box office of "Police Academy" reached an astonishing US$153 million, a total of US$160 million, and it also ranked second.

The Chinese film box office ranks second in the world.

The first is Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon" with 230 million US dollars.

But who is Li Xiaolong?

His movies are popular all over the world and he is considered the King of Kung Fu.

This group of actors, who can be regarded as almost a motley crew, can actually sell a movie for 160 million US dollars.

The newspapers in Xiangjiang are the most boring and the ones that like to settle accounts the most.

The day after "Police Academy" was released, "Kilin Daily" directly published a special page, using an entire page to tell the past and present life of "Police Story", as well as the investment and return.

According to this proportion of sharing, Kirin Culture, Shaw Brothers Films and Golden Harvest Films can share a total of 220.8 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. Subtracting the 90 million cost of the script, the income is about 130 million.

Jiahe and Shaw Brothers each received a pre-tax profit of 43 million yuan, and Qilin Culture received 43 million yuan plus 30 million yuan discounted from the cost, for a total of 73 million yuan.

The project started in June this year and was harvested in December. The pre-tax profit exceeded 140%, which is really very worthwhile.

What makes Jiahe and Shaw Brothers most happy is not the income from this drama, but that Yin Jun had already agreed to Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai when the project was established, and they would also join in the subsequent series.

The first part was just a test of the waters and did not receive much publicity in many countries. However, it has already sold a global box office of 160 million U.S. dollars and has proven itself. Then the second part has received various promotions, screens, and shares. Wait, it's better than the first one.

The most important thing is that the audience will definitely support the second part because of the good-looking first part.

Therefore, it is said that director Wang Jing has begun to contact foreign actors and is preparing to start filming the second part next year.

The news about Xiangjiang is not only known to "Kilin Daily".

"Oriental Daily" also broke the exclusive news that in order to allow the actors to continue starring, the three major companies not only gave them big red envelopes, totaling more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but also promised a substantial increase in remuneration for the second part.

And Ming Pao, they got another piece of news. As early as the fifth week, Jiahe Company, which represented the production company in negotiating with foreign companies, had sold a TV set that had been sold for 5 years for US$3 million. The broadcasting rights were given to major TV stations; the video copyright was purchased from the American video tape rental chain giant for US$8 million, and another US$13 million was settled.

Unlike before, which had to be divided with theater chains, this 13 million US dollars only needs to be paid in taxes.

After all, each family shared another 20 million yuan in pre-tax profits!

Sold to TV stations for broadcast! Selling video rights! !

Only Li Xiaolong had enjoyed these two kinds of income in Xiangjiang before!

I didn’t expect that “Police Academy” not only performed well at the box office, but also sold its copyrights for so much money. It’s really enviable!

Other movies are good at making money at the box office, so why would you dare to think about selling other copyrights?

Only with success in Europe and the United States, with such a large population base and such a wealthy country, can we support the purchase of copyrights for video tapes and television broadcasts.

Now everyone looks back and thinks about it, those who originally raised the doubts felt that 60 million real money should not be spent on making a movie, and felt that Yin Jun's script was not worth 30 million. It really hurt to be slapped in the face!

He casually broke the box office record of local movies in Hong Kong and took in US$160 million in global box office in one breath. How about someone else try it?

Even though the director is Wang Jing and Yin Jun only directed it partway through, the pulse, storyline, and jokes of this movie all have a strong flavor of Yin Jun's screenwriting.

Otherwise, how could Wang Jing, a guy who keeps winning one after another, make such a global blockbuster movie?

It is precisely because he has made 20 million in copyrights that Shao Liuye, who has always been stingy, enthusiastically joined in. It is said that the investment in the second part of "Police Academy" is as high as 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

This time, 30 million of it still belongs to Yin Jun's script fee, and then each company will share 50 million. Shaw Brothers and Jiahe will pay 50 million in cash, and Kirin Culture will only need to spend 20 million in cash.

Even so, the cost of 120 million is twice the previous cost of 60 million.

On the one hand, actors' salaries will definitely increase significantly.

In the Western world, no one wants to lower their salary after becoming famous, even if they become popular because of your movie.

On the other hand, it is said that the scenes will not be as monotonous as the first part, because the first part obviously graduated, and the second part should be the story of what happened when they were policemen. This is not a school and some It can handle simple scenarios.

However, many media in Hong Kong are still very optimistic about this.

no way.

They have been so successful, even if the sequel does not do well at the box office, with the reputation of the first episode, there is no problem reaching the box office of the first part, at least making a small profit of 10 to 20 million.

Moreover, Yin Jun is writing the sequel, so there is no chance of failure.

Even people who don't know the most about movies know that Yin Jun's script is a guarantee of success and a guarantee of box office.

If you get Yin Jun's script, you get the key to a box office hit!
