Kang Jianfei walked out of Billyver Hills proudly, and until the three of them got on the taxi, Zeng Bolin was still unable to believe what had just happened.
Alan Ryder, a young man, not only agreed to help release "The Royal Sister", but also reached an oral agreement with Kang Jianfei, saying that it was a movie from Oriental DreamWorks and could contact 20th Century Fox.
As long as the movie is of good quality, 20th Century Fox will help release it.
what does that mean?
In the whole of Hong Kong, only Shaw Brothers and Jiahe can cooperate with Hollywood giants to issue, and Oriental DreamWorks is now the third one.
If DreamWorks' movies are sold well in Asia and are qualified to challenge Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, then Oriental DreamWorks can now be on the same level as them in name.
In the future, the bosses and directors of Hong Kong film companies would be polite when they saw Kang Jianfei, because one day they would ask Kang Jianfei to help contact the European and American distribution.
I'll get off here!Liu Hongsheng pointed to the street sign in front of him and said.
Kang Jianfei insisted on keeping an eye: Don’t you consider going to my company to do things?
Liu Hongsheng shook his head and said: I am learning music production and arrangement, and I am not interested in movies.
Kang Jianfei said: I also have a record company in Hong Kong.
Liu Hongsheng smiled and said: Forget it.
After Liu Hongsheng got out of the car and left, Kang Jianfei felt quite regretful.
Liu Hongsheng is a man who can help strangers who have just met, and he can also help contact the distribution manager of 20th Century Fox through classmates and friends, and he is quite capable.
Such a person with character and ability is best.
In comparison, Zeng Bolin brought by Kang Jianfei is much worse. He can only act according to orders and has very poor autonomy.
However, talent is rare. Zeng Bolin can speak English and knows a little about market issuance, so he can barely use it.
The most important thing is that Zeng Bolin is an honest person, not very colorful, and is very diligent in doing things, which can make up for the shortcomings of his abilities.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Alin, please withdraw the contact information of Alan Ryder's assistant.
Ah… OK!Thank you Mr. Kang.
Zeng Bolin suddenly became happy. Kang Jianfei's words meant to let him be responsible for the affairs of the United States.
Although it's just a matter of contacting 20th Century Fox, those phone numbers can make him worth a hundred times at once, and he can even face the boss of a small film company.
Now that everything is on track, Kang Jianfei's stay in the United States has no meaning.
"The Royal Sister" has been painted in temporary theaters. Because the movie was sold well in several southern states in the United States, Jiang Zhiqiang took the opportunity to hand over the news to several Chinese media outlets and took the opportunity to hype the movie up again. The box office in the last week became much better, otherwise he might have painted it in advance.
The temporary theaters of 25 theaters were screened for 30 days, and the final box office was more than 1.375 million US dollars, of which Kang Jianfei divided the production into 310,000.
This box office is obviously not enough for theaters and theaters to earn. In the last two weeks, temporary theaters reduced the number of releases of "Sister Royal" and instead screened other old movies and Chinese-language movies to increase theater revenue.
Until the temporary theater chain was disbanded, and with the income from selling popcorn and beverages, Kang Jianfei also received US$260,000 in theater chain and theater revenue.
After struggling with temporary theaters for so long, Kang Jianfei and production revenue of US$570,000, equivalent to more than HK$4 million, are almost at the box office share of "Happy Ghost" in Hong Kong.
The box office of Martin theaters has not been calculated yet, and there is also the box office revenue from 20th Century Fox to help release. Kang Jianfei made a lot of money on this trip to the United States.
Without the performance of "Sister Royal" in the Chinese community and Southern State, 21st Century Fox would not have been able to reduce the distribution costs and give Kang Jianfei a 19% box office share.
Kang Jianfei's plan to use box office results as a stepping stone was completely successful. As for the 150 copies of the movie he made, they have also been sold to 20th Century Fox, making a small profit of rental fees.
……
At Los Angeles International Airport, Kang Jianfei saw Jiang Zhiqiang get out of the taxi and quickly walked over to shake hands with him and smiled: Haha, Brother Jiang, congratulations on getting rich!
Happy with the same joy!Jiang Zhiqiang had a little tired look on his face, but there was a bit of joy in his fatigue.
To run a temporary theater chain that lasts only one month, the cost must be minimized from all aspects. If it is Kang Jianfei, it is impossible to play.
Jiang Zhiqiang did it. This guy slept for no more than 4 hours a day for a month, guarding the phone at any time and anywhere, directing or answering reports, and was still making screening plans in the middle of the night.
Of course, because of Jiang Zhiqiang's efforts, he finally paid 20,000 yuan in the general manager's salary when he was distributing the money.
The two boarded the plane back to Hong Kong and both sat in their seats and closed their eyes and pondered.
Kang Jianfei thought about the future development of the company, but Jiang Zhiqiang thought about the possibility of moving this temporary theater model to Hong Kong to operate.
When the plane entered the stratosphere, Jiang Zhiqiang asked: Brother Kang, are you interested in building your own theater chain in Hong Kong?
Kang Jianfei asked back: Brother Jiang has the idea of establishing a theater chain?
Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said: If there is a problem with the cooperation between Oriental Dream Factory and Princess Jin one day, I would like to come out and cooperate with Brother Kang to build a theater.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I remember Anle Film Group is the main theater, so why would you have the idea of taking the risk of being a theater chain?
There is a difference between building a cinema and cinema chain. For example, Anle Film Group operates a cinema. They buy films and screen them themselves. The cinemas are all their own, and even the land is their own. There is no saying that the cinema chains are divided into.
However, Jiahe, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin are not the case. A large number of the theaters in the three theaters are not owned by the theater owners.
Some are built by themselves, with land and storefronts; some are rented by other people's theaters; some are independently franchise and cooperate; some simply rent a storefront and install seats and screens to become theaters.
When the movie is screened, generally 6% to 8% of the box office revenue belongs to theater companies, and more than 40% of the box office revenue belongs to specific theaters.
In general, it is much more risky to be a theater than a theater, and if you don’t pay attention, you will lose money.
Kang Jianfei also wants to have his own theater chain, but it is not now. He does not have that strong financial strength to run the theater chain.
However, if you really start a theater chain, Jiang Zhiqiang is the best candidate for the theater chain.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Brother Jiang, I actually know nothing about theaters. If you ask me to cooperate, you must have plans to lose money.
I have confidence in your film company.Jiang Zhiqiang also smiled.
The Jiang family’s Anle Theater has been operating in a difficult situation because it only screens Western films. Last year’s "The Tribulation of War" was a big hit, but it was just a special situation, so it must not be repeated.
As the number three figure of Anle Films, Jiang Zhiqiang actually doesn’t have much extra money in his hands. He made HK$2 million this time in the United States, which really made Jiang Zhiqiang happy.
The two of them chatted with each other. In the United States behind them, a Chinese-language movie attracted more and more attention.
In Martin Theater alone, "The Royal Sister" won a box office of 5.73 million yuan when it was painted.
According to the previous agreement, Kang Jianfei can get 205% of the box office, calculate the various taxes and get 1.07 million US dollars.
So far, the total box office of "The Legend of the Royal Sister" in both theaters has reached 7.11 million US dollars, while Jackie Chan's "The Killer's Treasure" has only 8.62 million US dollars in the United States.
In the last week and a half after "The Royal Sister" was released in Martin theaters, 20th Century Fox finally showed its power, and the publicity offensive was not comparable to Carl Patrick.
In addition to the several southern states that have been released, "Sister Royal" has been fully launched in various parts of the United States, giving 200 screens tentatively in advance. Soon the number of screens increased to 500, and it only stopped until 550 yuan.
In just one week, the box office released by 20th Century Fox exceeded 10 million, becoming the biggest dark horse in the US box office in this off-season.
The Hollywood Reporter published an article commenting: If you don’t look at the actor’s skin color, you will definitely think that Warrior Royal is a Hollywood blockbuster.
The New York Times said: Lin (Qingxia) is a modern version of Bruce Lee, whose fists and feet are very ornamental.
Variety Show magazine professionally commented: The speed stunts in "Soldier Royale" are worth learning from by Hollywood directors. As for the action design of this movie, I can only say that the director is a genius.From hammers, wrenches, shovels, to excavators, fire extinguishers, chainsaws, everything can be used as weapons, especially the chainsaw fight, which is enough to make people sweat...
Because "Sister Royal" has no competitors, coupled with the powerful distribution capabilities of 20th Century Fox, its box office has risen steadily in this off-season.
Until the time of the painting, the box office of "The Royal Sister" released by 20th Century Fox reached 34.06 million.
With the previous box office, the final box office of "Sister Royal" in the United States was US$41.16 million, and Oriental DreamWorks received US$7.04 million, equivalent to more than HK$56 million, which is more than the total profit of DreamWorks last year.
The box office of $41.16 million is a very scary number. It is already ranked among the top 15 box offices in the US annual rankings.
It is still the off-season for the first few months of movies, and the fierce films are waiting for Halloween, Christmas and other things to come out later. "Sister Royal" is currently temporarily ranked as the top spot in the US box office list in 1981, which is quite a bit like a duogu Qiubai.
Of course, it can also be said that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are the overlords.
When Zou Wenhuai received a call from an American friend, it happened to be the time when "The Royal Sister" was hit, and he felt sad and helpless.
The cost of "The Royal Sister" is only more than HK$10 million, while the cost of "The Killer's Treasure" is more than US$10 million. The box office gap between the two movies is too big.
Of course, Boss Zou also hopes for the movie "Sky Speed" he invested in.
This sole proprietorship of Golden Harvest Hollywood movie did make him look good soon, and the US box office sold for $72 million, ranking sixth in the United States' box office list the previous year.
However, the cost of this movie is also very scammed. The male protagonist's salary is $5 million, and the real money earned is much less than "The Senior Sister of the Royal Family"...
Alan Ryder, a young man, not only agreed to help release "The Royal Sister", but also reached an oral agreement with Kang Jianfei, saying that it was a movie from Oriental DreamWorks and could contact 20th Century Fox.
As long as the movie is of good quality, 20th Century Fox will help release it.
