Chunhu Kang said helplessly," You really dare to guess. The cost of this movie is 400,000 yuan. Struggle Company and I invested 200,000 yuan each. If it really sells well at the box office of 2 million yuan as you said, then we can get 700,000 yuan."”
Xiangjiang's film companies would get a fixed share of the box office earnings. For example, Mecca had some connections, so the share was 3.5%. For a small company like Struggle Film Company, it would be considered good if they could get 30% of the box office earnings.
Guan Zhilin was a little shy,"How much box office do you think we can get?"”
"I estimate that it's at least 3 million.”Chunhu Kang said casually.
"Hmm? "Then when I said 2 million, why did you…" Guan Zhilin reacted halfway and said angrily,"I'm going to pay you.""You did it on purpose. You tricked me on purpose just now! I'll beat you to death, you scoundrel. You only know how to tease me when you bully me!”
Guan Zhilin's little fist was so fast that she had burst out all the anger she had in the cinema.
Kang Chunhu let her vent. After all, he had already taken advantage of her today. Moreover, Guan Zhilin's beating didn't hurt.
Guan Zhilin couldn't move after a while. Sweat appeared on his forehead, but his mood calmed down a lot.
"Alright, I'll take you to dinner. What do you want to eat today? Consider it a celebration for the release of the first movie I invested in.”Kang Chunhu said as he helped Guan Zhilin wipe the sweat off his forehead.
This time, Guan Zhilin chose a French restaurant in Jiu Long.
When the waiter pushed the cart and brought the dishes, Kang Chunhu skillfully cut the fish she ordered into small pieces and placed them in front of Guan Zhilin.
Guan Zhilin put a piece of fish meat into her mouth. Perhaps the taste of the food reminded her of what Kang Chunhu had said in the cinema.
"Can your movie really sell for 3 million?”Guan Zhilin asked anxiously.
"Three million is the minimum, it will definitely exceed three million!" Chunhu Kang said confidently.”
"Then you can earn more than 300,000 yuan, right?”Guan Zhilin was surprised.
She didn't know about the agreement between Chunhu Kang and Mecca. She thought that they could split the profits equally. Actually, Chunhu Kang could only earn about 100,000 yuan, but he wouldn't explain it to her.
"How is it? It's alright!"
"That's amazing! One movie earned hundreds of thousands!" Guan Zhilin's eyes flashed with the light of a money-grubber.
Guan Zhilin's parents were also actors, and her father, Guan Shan, was the first Chinese actor, but that was a long time ago. Since the 1970s, her parents had basically faded out of the film industry. Although Guan Zhilin had never been worried about money since he was young, it was nonsense to say that Guan Zhilin's family was rich.
Therefore, when she heard that Chunhu Kang could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan, she was very excited. More importantly, she knew that Chunhu Kang had only returned to Hong Kong last month. She didn't even consider that these things couldn't be repeated. In her mind, she was calculating that Kang Chunhu earned hundreds of thousands in two months, so wouldn't it be a few million a year…
After dinner, it was already past 9 o'clock when Chunhu Kang sent Zhilin Guan home. When they parted ways, Zhilin Guan gave Chunhu Kang a hug and ran away like a frightened fish. Chunhu Kang still waited for Zhilin Guan to wave at him from the balcony before leaving.
In the next few days, the reputation of " Crazy Old Cheater " was growing. More and more people walked into the cinema, and the entertainment section of the newspaper also carried out intensive reports on " Crazy Old Cheater ".
At this time, there were no entertainment newspapers, let alone entertainment gossip magazines. Entertainment news was usually used as a supplement to the newspaper. (There would be a Biweekly Film Magazine here, but it would only write about professional film knowledge and film reviews. There would be no entertainment news or celebrity gossip.)
As the movie became popular, the happiest ones were naturally Mecca and the others. Mecca even specially invited Chunhu Kang for a meal. During the meal, Mecca told Chunhu Kang that they were preparing to make another movie similar to Crazy Cheater. Chunhu Kang didn't even think about it and expressed that he wanted to continue learning from them.
However, this time, Mecca and the others were prepared to invite a few more people to join them so that the movie would have a better box office. Therefore, this time, Chunhu Kang had to invest 250,000 yuan. This was only half of the share that Chunhu Kang could get from " Crazy Old Cheater."
Chunhu Kang didn't have any objections to the 250,000 yuan investment. However, he requested to change the original 30% to 40%. Mecca thought for a while and agreed. After all, Chunhu Kang had already shown his ability in the last movie. It was indeed a little too little to only get 30% of the investment. However, he only agreed. He had to go back and ask Ishida and Huang Baiming.
The next day, after Chunhu Kang and Mecca finished eating, he received a call from Mecca.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Actually, Mecca was telling Chunhu Kang three pieces of news. The first was that Ishida and Huang Baiming agreed to let Chunhu Kang get 40% of the dividends. Secondly, they had already invited Hong Jinbao, Wu Ma, and Lin Zhengying to join them. Thirdly, the movie they were preparing to shoot was called " Salted Fish Reborn ". As for the specific shooting time, Mecca said it would be in March because they had to wait for the box office dividends of " Crazy Old Cheater " to arrive.
At this time, Ching Ying was not very famous. He was only a martial arts director. Occasionally, he would play some cameo roles. He had not started to make zombie movies. His main fame came from his role as a martial arts director in Bruce Lee's movies.
Just like that, Kang Chunhu would read the newspaper every morning and pay attention to the box office of " Crazy Old Cheater ". The rest of the time would be plagiarism and dance practice. Every day was considered fulfilling, not to mention that Guan Zhilin would help him adjust his life. Kang Chunhu's life continued like this until Zhao Zhizhi returned in March...
On the first day of March, Kang Chunhu woke up a little late. Last night, he and Guan Zhilin were talking about skating. As they were talking, Kang Chunhu suddenly thought of the dance moves of the original space rod group, such as skating, shaking hands, cutting vegetables, headache dance, etc. Kang Chunhu didn't know what they were called, so he randomly named them. When he thought of the time when these groups danced in unison on the stage, the girls below the stage were so excited! Kang Chunhu decided to turn the Koreans into his own and make a group of his own in the future, haha! Thinking about it, this idea was really not bad. Just like that, he recalled and practiced for the entire night.
When Chunhu Kang yawned and walked to the bathroom, he saw a figure from the corner of his eye.
"Sister Zhi! You're back!" Chunhu Kang turned around and saw Zhao Linzhi. He immediately came to his senses and rushed over to hug her.
"Don't be silly. You're like a child. You don't even brush your teeth."”Zhao Yuanzhi said as she pushed Kang Chunhu's face away.
"Sister Zhi, I'll let go if you kiss me," Kang Chunhu teased.”After saying that, she turned her face to Zhao Zhizhi.
Zhao Linzhi kissed him helplessly and said,""Alright! Go wash your face."
"I want it here too!"
"This time, it's okay!" Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the shameless Kang Chunhu and kissed him again.
"Here too." Chunhu Kang went back on his word and said to Zhao Linzhi.
"No, you didn't brush your teeth!" Zhao Yuanzhi pouted like a young girl.
Chunhu Kang chuckled and kissed Zhao Linzhi on the cheek before letting her go and running into the bathroom.
By the time Zhao Yuanzhi reacted, Chunhu Kang had already closed the door. Listening to Chunhu Kang's laughter in the bathroom, Zhao Yuanzhi's tired body and mind seemed to relax.
