As soon as the news was announced, it immediately aroused the excitement of the entire Xiangjiang Film Company.
These film companies were usually small film companies.
In the past, if they wanted to cooperate, they would have to cooperate with Jiahe or Shao Corporation.
The other option was for the theater chain to buy your movie directly. From then on, the box office would not have much to do with you. Even if they were to split the profits, the percentage they would give you would not be high.
Moreover, the screening rate given to you is not high, so you still have to prioritize your own movie.
However, Kong Ri Guang's attitude was very simple.
50 - 50 split.
There was only one standard for all evaluations: box office sales.
If the box office was high, the screening time would be high. If the box office was low, the screening time would be low.
Everything was a market action.
This meant that I didn't need to look at Shao's or Jiahe's faces anymore. I only needed to focus on improving the quality of the movie itself.
In addition…
Kong Riguang, that bastard, even took out 30 million yuan to continue expanding the theater chain.
It was 1978, and the box office sales of movies had not yet exceeded 10 million yuan. It was obviously a big move to invest 30 million yuan in theater chains.
Xiangjiang's movie industry would only take off after the 1980s. At that time, major cinemas would pop up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
However, Kong Ri Guang had taken the position in advance.
He knew that the Xiangjiang film industry would develop sooner or later. A small city like Xiangjiang could accommodate at least 240 cinemas. The current investment was only 30 million. When the oil crisis was over, Kong Riguang planned to invest 300 million.
Tseung Kwan O, Guangming Film and Television Center.
The film studio here had already begun to be gradually developed.
At this moment, Cheng Long was filming " Snake-like Cat's Claw " and " The Junior Brother Makes a Move ". They had finished filming two movies within two months. Overall, there were still many adjustments to the movie.
It was mainly because Kong Ri Guang had communicated with Cheng Long and provided him with more ideas.
In his previous life, Kong Ri Guang had watched Cheng Long's documentary that specifically explained his understanding of action scenes. Although he had only watched it once on TikTok, his memory was surprisingly good after his rebirth. He remembered everything.
Now, he would teach it to Cheng Long so that he could quickly grasp the key points.
After these two movies were completed, it would be the Drunken Fist series.
Although Drunken Fist could be said to be Cheng Long's explosive work, Kong Riguang preferred Drunken Fist 2. Whether it was the fighting scenes, the lines, or the style, it completely surpassed the first film.
Therefore, Kong Riguang wrote the script for Drunken Fist 2 and drew the storyboard. Then, he forced the scriptwriter to think about Drunken Fist 1. The standard was the depth of thinking, the structure, and the lines. They had to be comparable to Drunken Fist 2.
This was really killing the scriptwriter.
However, Kong Riguang had also explained that if the theme of Drunken Fist 1 could reach the height of 2, the screenwriter could enjoy a 5% bonus.
What Kong Riguang proposed was a scriptwriter-centered system, with the scriptwriter as the center and integrating upstream and downstream resources. Outstanding scriptwriters were the core of film and television production. They could choose actors and directors and be responsible for all matters during the filming process. Their influence would be carried out throughout the entire production.
Once the script was set, it could not be changed. Only some details could be modified.
The script fee could not be low. Moreover, as long as it reached B grade, the screenwriter would be given a bonus based on the profits of the film.
The scriptwriter was also full of motivation, trying to get a B-grade contract as soon as possible.
However, Kong Riguang was drinking tea with Zou Wenhuai.
"You want to borrow Huang Baiming?" Kong Ri Guang slowly drank his tea and then said with a smile,""Boss Zou, you know the rules here. I won't restrict my artists from taking jobs from other companies. As long as you guys agree on the price and he's not busy, there's no problem!”
Then, Kong Ri Guang put down his teacup and said with a smile,""However, I don't think it's that easy. He's still busy filming 'Happy Ghost 2', so I don't think it's possible for him to do so in the near future!”
"No matter what, I still have to say hello to you, Mr. Kong!”"In addition, I also hope to continue to increase our cooperation with you, Mr. Kong!" Zou Wenhuai said politely.”
Zou Wenhuai had already addressed Kong Riguang as Mr. Kong. Obviously, he regarded Kong Riguang as an existence on the same level as him.
Kong Ri Guang put down his teacup and said with a smile,""Please speak!"
"Jiahe's cinema chain is also willing to play Guangming Pictures 'movie!”Zou Wenhuai smiled." We'll follow the standard of Golden Princess Cinemas. We'll split the box office based on the quality of the box office!"”
"Boss Zou is much more magnanimous than Shao Yifu!”"I don't think I have any reason to refuse!" Kong Ri Guang laughed.”
Zou Wenhuai also smiled.
Actually, for Jiahe at this stage, it was indeed a headache.
In the past ten years, except when Bruce Lee was around, Jiahe could suppress Shao Group. However, when Bruce Lee was gone, Jiahe was immediately beaten up by Shao Group.
Even with Bruce Lee, he could only take first place on the leaderboard. The remaining nine were still Shao's.
Otherwise, Jiahe wouldn't have acted as if they had obtained a treasure the moment they discovered Cheng Long. They would give him resources and money just to surpass Shao Corporation.
Times were different now. Cheng Long had yet to show up, but Huang Baiming had created a miracle.
It wasn't that Zou Wenhuai didn't want to rope him in. However, when he heard that Kong Riguang had taken out a million hits, plus the box office dividends from Southeast Asia and Wanwan, Zou Wenhuai knew that it was impossible to rope him in.
Zou Wenhuai couldn't afford that much money. One million was easy, but the key was that there would be more money coming in. How was that possible?
However, the good thing was that Kong Riguang didn't refuse to cooperate, nor would he reject his own artists from filming other movies. Zou Wenhuai simply took the initiative to talk to Kong Riguang about cooperation.
Of course, Jiahe had to pay a price. In Zou Wenhuai's opinion, the price was worth it.
Wasn't it just opening up the cinema chain?
Moreover, what Kong Riguang said made sense. The company had to make money, and the theater chain couldn't just rely on its own movies to survive. Zou Wenhuai's attitude also changed.
No enterprise was doing charity. The ultimate goal was to make money.
Both sides reached an agreement.
Kong Riguang also smiled. If there was a Jiahe cinema chain, then the box office of Happy Ghost 2 should also break through ten million.
However, before that, it was better to withdraw Cheng Long's two movies and see the effects.
It could be said that Kong Riguang was pushing forward the prosperity of Xiangjiang Film City single-handedly!
