"Mr. Ley, we can actually work together.”
What Qin Feng did not expect was that Ren Dahua actually stood up.
"Hua?" Boss Lei was stunned for a moment.
Ren Dahua nodded and explained to Qin Feng,""Mr. Lei is the boss of Princess Jin. Princess Jin has merged Lisheng Cinemas and other cinemas. Last year, I set up New City Film Company. I acted in a few movies in New City and caused Boss Lei to lose a lot of money.”
Qin Feng smiled. No wonder you weren't valued at Shao's. You're a box office poison.
With Ren Dahua as the middleman, the atmosphere eased up.
"If Ah Hua acts in this script, he will definitely make a name for himself! Some actors relied on a certain role to make a comeback.”Boss Lei came over and patted Ren Dahua's arm as he asked,""Which role are you playing? Brother Hua or Wu Fei? Or Tony?"
"I-I'm playing the role of a doctor." Ren Da was so ashamed that he was unable to show his face.
For a moment, he fell into awkwardness.
Zhou Wenhuai broke the silence.
I have high hopes for this film!
However, since we're in a competitive relationship, we'll negotiate from a business perspective.”
As a big shot in the film industry, Zhou Wenhuai naturally knew what the core of a film was.
The screenwriter!
With a good script, even a mediocre director and actor could make a wonderful movie.
If they could film one movie, they could film a second one. Movies were about stories!
Of course, he didn't know that there were other things to watch in movies in the future: For example, looks, special effects, and money.
Although it would be a loss if he could not sign Qin Feng, he still had to earn money!
At the very least, this film could make money for now! As for the possibility that Qinfeng Film would grow into a competitor in the future, that was a matter for the future.
Moreover, the enemy was the Shao family, not this shell company.
"Alright!" Qin Feng nodded. Indeed, Ren Dahua was right. As long as there was money to be made, these two people would not reject him.
"How?"
"The Shao Corporation and our Jiahe have always been rivals.”
"Recently, they have filmed the same theme as yours. It's called 'Bloody Tsimple', and it has become the key to breaking the situation!”
Shao Brothers and Jiahe were currently mainly promoting martial arts films.
Jiahe leaned towards the humorous direction, mainly focusing on Cheng Long, taking into account martial arts and comedy.
"This film of yours has a new theme, and there are no celebrities joining. If you want it to be popular, you have to increase your publicity!”
"So, Jiahe wants to be the distribution company?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.”
"That's right!" " Alright." Zhou Wenhuai nodded and said," I wanted to rope you guys in to sign with Jiahe, but this is the only way now."”
"You need to publish it, and I need fame to fight against Shao Corporation!”
Qin Feng thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible.
Jiahe was also considered a big shot in Hong Kong. To be able to survive under Shao's attack, he must have real ability.
The publicity was one of them, and the second was the cinema.
"Mr. Ley, what do you think?" Zhou Wenhuai looked at Boss Lei.
"We can't let Shao Laoliu decide everything!”Boss Lei slammed his palm on the table and scolded angrily,"I guarantee that my cinema chains will be filled up for you!”
Several films in New City had been lost to Shao Group, and even their manpower had been poached away.
It almost caused the film company to disband.
Shao Yifu's arrogant words at that time were still ringing in his ears: " You guys should just do real estate and sell tickets at the cinema. Isn't it easy? Filming a movie is a technical job. It's better to leave it to our Shao Corporation!'
When Zhou Wenhuai heard this, he thought," This is bad. Old Lei is actually so hot-tempered. How can he lower the price?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ley." Ren Dahua bowed several times.
Zhou Wenhuai didn't say much and could only say indifferently,""Our Jiahe can also guarantee that it will not be lower than Shao's screening rate in our own cinemas!”
This was a huge concession.
When Shao's 'Bloody Tsimshatsui' was screened in their own cinemas, it would definitely be fully screened.
"How about splitting the accounts?" Qin Feng cupped his hands and asked.
Cooperation was built on benefits. If others gave you screenings because of their relationship, they would also have to charge a fee!
"My theater chain will charge you 8% of the cost! The distribution fee was 2%. A total of 10%. That wasn't too much, right?”
"Good!" Qin Feng hurriedly agreed.
She was overjoyed.
It was indeed the 80s!
Unlike in the future, the cinema would get at least half of the profits! He even wanted to take 60%.
This was because only cinemas could recoup their costs. As for videotapes and the Internet?
Sorry, there's something called pirate!
The cinema chains were aware of this, and the proportion of the box office was getting higher and higher.
Channel is king!
Even the three major video websites had joined forces to monopolize the copyright.
Using the release as a threat, the film must use a signed celebrity under my family!
The distribution rights encroached on the creative rights, turning all creators into employees.
Do you think the director wants to use the stoic internet celebrity face?
It couldn't be helped. If he didn't use it, no one would buy this film. There wouldn't even be a chance for it to be released.
After all, the money paid by the audience was in the hands of the theater chains and the platform, not directly in the hands of the producers.
It was common for it to drag on for a year and a half.
10% was something that Qin Feng had never thought of before.
With a cost of 2 million, he would be able to recoup his losses with just 2.5 million at the box office!
Jiahe took 8% of the theater's profits, which was considered reasonable in this era.
The theater chain evolved from the theater. Before this, when people came to perform, the theater would give red packets to the class master.
The theater made a profit by selling tea, fruits, and roasted seeds and nuts.
Now, not only could they split the profits, but they could also sell these things!
Soon, both parties signed the agreement.
The distribution and screening fee was 10%, and the screening rate could not be lower than that of Shao's "Blood in Tsimshatsui".

"Damn it, cross out my name!”Jing Kun was actually shy.
"I'm just a short mule. If I'm recognized when I go out in the future, how can I show off?”
"Alright, then remove Brother Kun's name from the lead role and replace it with Ren Dahua's friendly role!”Qin Feng smiled as he added a line to the contract.
"Thank you, Brother Li." Ren Dahua hurriedly flattered.
Generally speaking, those who could stand on the reputation of a friend actor were basically a little famous in the industry.
Without fame, they were called extras!
The contract was finalized, and everyone was happy.
They had a party at Jing Kun's place to celebrate.
"How can our female lead not invite the producer to dance?”Zhou Wenhuai had been racking his brains for half a month to think of a way to deal with the Shao family. Today, he had finally removed the huge rock weighing down on his heart. He was in a good mood and was already half-drunk.
"You guys were flirting with each other earlier. Don't think I didn't see it!”
"Mr. Zhou is drunk. Quickly help him to rest.”Qin Feng hurriedly asked the waiter to take Zhou Wenhuai away.
Who knew that under the leadership of Jing Kun, those underlings actually shouted,
"Since this is a dance hall, how can you only drink?”
"Dance!"
"Dance!"
I don't want to either!
Qin Feng complained incessantly.
Wouldn't it have been better to choose a tea restaurant from the start?
While Qin Feng was still troubled, Zhang Manyu had already stretched out her hand,"May I have a dance with you?"
