Liu Hua's "Emerald" was being released, and when he was playing opposite "Swordsman", Xiao Ranke was so busy that he almost collapsed. He had to film during the day and prepare for the new company at night. Sometimes he had to attend some events

Of course, most of the parties that could be proposed were rejected by celebrities, etc. But not many people could realize the significance of Xiao Ran's existence, and most of them were his friends in the circle.

Extremely anxious! If he had to describe how anxious he was, Xiao Ran thought it was comparable to chicken wings. These days, the mantra he often talks about is: "It's so terrible, I miss you hundreds of thousands per second..."

Feng Mianheng, one of the creators of this extremely funny dialogue in "Shaolin Soccer", and Tian Qiwen, the interpreter, are not yet famous. The former has not even entered the industry, and the latter is just doing odd jobs.

Therefore, Xiao Ran doesn’t have to worry about being pointed at and scolded for plagiarism.

In private these days, Xiao Ran often had a very extreme idea about Fang Ruohai. He imagined that the old woman on the roadside in a Hong Kong ghost movie slapped a human-shaped yellow paper with a cloth shoe, and he followed the same pattern and cursed Fang Ruohai.

The guy who left everything to him said: "Hit your head like a villain, beat you like a villain..."

Unfortunately, Xiao Ran did not implement this extremely vicious idea in the end, because... he didn't have time. For example, right now, he just wanted to see Lei Kaitai to discuss the theater issue.

There are currently five major cinema chains in Hong Kong, with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Arts City each controlling one. However, New Arts City’s Golden Princess Cinema Line is actually controlled by Lei Kaitai. Initially, Golden Princess was just an inconspicuous literary and art theater chain.

Theater line.

As a result, after being acquired by Lei Kaitai, it merged a large number of other independent cinemas, coupled with the movies of New Art City, and suddenly became the most powerful cinema chain in Hong Kong. Golden Princess has a total of 43 cinemas, which is the number of the five major cinema chains.

First of all, it can be said that it goes deep into every golden downtown area in Hong Kong.

In 1984, Debao and Golden Harvest even joined forces with their theaters to suppress the thriving New Art City. However, they were still defeated by New Art City, allowing New Art City to once again retain the annual box office championship. In this game

In the confrontation, the role played by Golden Princess Cinema definitely played a key role.

The other two theaters are Yonggao and Xinbao. Xiao Ran is not sure about the situation of Xinbao, but Yonggao does know a little bit. He knows that Yonggao later set up a film company to make movies. Which movies were they specifically made?

Can not remember.

According to Xiao Ran's idea, distribution, production, production, etc. should all be a one-stop operation. Just like Hollywood, they allow external funds, but it is difficult to allow foreign production companies to produce independently.

It is never a good idea to separate production and distribution. The current Hong Kong film company system is absolutely unreasonable. If Xiao Ran has enough strength and funds, he will take all production, production and distribution into his hands, and control at least one local film company.

Cinema chains. Overseas, they must establish a good distribution network and corresponding peripheral products to achieve the best way to make money.

To describe it in a simple way, it is actually very simple. Such a film group company must have a standardized production department similar to Hollywood, which can avoid investment mistakes. Once the production department approves a script, the process begins.

Finding the right director, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff for the script, and preparing the budget are adequate and reasonable preliminary preparations.

When everything is ready, it will be handed over to the production company for filming. When the filming is completed, it will be handed over to another department responsible for dubbing and special effects. This is a very important post-production stage. When the final editing of the film is completed, the copy will be

Leave it to the department in charge of theaters to arrange the release time.

At the same time, the department responsible for overseas distribution can arrange for sales, and the department responsible for producing film-related products is also doing this at the same time. Of course, one month after the film is released, the department responsible for audio and video distribution begins to produce the recording.

Elephant Tape is distributed globally through a large and complete distribution network.

This is the structure that Xiao Ran wants, and this is why a big-budget Hollywood film can earn thousands of dollars or even hundreds of millions. Because they are trying to exploit the film's utilization value as much as possible, and Hong Kong film companies are completely

No, it doesn't even have a similar structure. The only one that has a rough shape is Jiahe.

In Xiao Ran's idea, once it develops into such a large group, it can spin off each department and list it on the market. After collecting investors' money, it can further develop, or even - spin off and list it again!

However, everything is just a mirror image at present, just some beautiful ideas that make Xiao Ran sigh with emotion. In fact, he is not a Harvard graduate, and he is really not outstanding in management. It's just that he came here and established an almost delusional

After realizing his ideal, he knew he had to learn something.

Therefore, after he took the time to read some books on business and combined it with his future knowledge, it was not difficult to come up with such a structure. After meeting Lei Kaitai, a rather legendary figure, he ruthlessly

I encouraged myself: "Twenty years from now, you will still be a legend!"

The legend of Lei Kaitai does not lie in his history of success, but in his investment in movies. To be honest, if Lei Kaitai had not invested in New Art City, it would be a question whether Xiao Ran knew about this person. It can be seen that this person always has a lot of problems in his life.

I just need to leave something for everyone to remember.

Before meeting Lei Kaitai, Xiao Ran thought he would be a man like a big man from Shandong Province. After all, that's where his fame comes from. Unfortunately, the reality is often far from imagination. Not only did Lei Kaitai not grow "five feet tall"

"Five feet wide", he is much shorter than Xiao Ran. The only thing that goes with this name is the loud voice, which must be why he got this powerful name.

In Lei Kaitai's office, the owner asked the beautiful female secretary to bring coffee. Xiao Ran gently stirred the coffee and told his purpose of visit on the leather chair with a smile. Lei Kaitai felt very happy at that moment.

It was surprising, after all, there was no need to talk to him directly about such matters, just talk to the person in charge of the theater chain.

Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, and it was not easy to say the following words. After thinking about it, he still had to bite the bullet and said: "That's it, Mr. Lei, I have thought about it carefully. Now you have invested in Xinyi City

With movie studios and movie theaters like Golden Princess, I am afraid it will be difficult for one cinema chain to bear the production of films from three large production companies."

Lei Kaitai nodded. He understood what Xiao Ran meant. Xiao Ran's meaning was very simple. Since New Art City and the film studio are his direct descendants of Lei Kaitai, then the prime time slots and so on are naturally reserved for direct descendants and absolutely nothing.

For Xiao Ran's sake.

This is why Xiao Ran went directly to Lei Kaitai. The person in charge of the theater chain was on the same level as Huang Baiming and Xu Ke. If Xiao Ran persuaded the person in charge of the theater chain to give up the prime time slot, Xu Ke and Huang Baiming would definitely

Don't do it. Therefore, the only one who can settle things is Lei Kaitai.

Lei Kaitai closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and smiled: "I'm curious, why can you convince me to give up the prime time slot?"

Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and smiled. He was afraid that Lei Kaitai would refuse him directly. Now he has hope. He smiled confidently and gave an example: "Mr. Lei, my company's video is in your

You are clear about the profit sharing situation when it is released in theaters. Compared with a film from Xinyi City with a box office of 10 million and a film produced by my company with a box office of 30 million, what do you think will make you more money?"

The answer is yes. The sharing between theaters and production companies can be roughly divided into two categories. The first is to add a certain share to the fixed rent, which is to fix how much share each gets. The second is generally the first week after the film is released.

, the production company gets 70% of the total box office for one week, 60% for the second one, and so on.

Calculated according to this share ratio, even fools know how to choose. Lei Kaitai frowned and then relaxed, laughing endlessly: "Do you think you can beat Huang Baiming and others at the box office? I think it is difficult.

!”

"It is indeed difficult!" Xiao Ran admitted frankly, and the solemnity on his expression made people think that he was an extremely honest person: "However, I have no intention of squeezing out New Art City and the film studio, and I don't think I have the ability to do so either.

Dropped. So, all I want is two opportunities, one each during the summer vacation and during the Spring Festival!"

After the summer vacation, the Spring Festival slot was really amazing and very popular. I think Huang Baiming from New Art City and the boss had insisted for several years to get a Spring Festival slot, and finally "Eight Star Announcement" was released

》The box office is booming. To put it simply, as long as it is released during the prime Spring Festival period, it is very common for a film to have a box office of over 20 million.

The traditional Spring Festival period in Hong Kong is actually not as widespread as it was later referred to in the Mainland. At that time, the so-called Spring Festival period basically referred to the period of about a month after the Spring Festival. Later, the Mainland simply changed the period from shortly after New Year's Day to nearly after the Spring Festival.

The whole month is called the Spring Festival.

What Xiao Ran wants is not the current Spring Festival schedule, but the one month before the Spring Festival, because he knows that he can't compete with New Art City and the film studio. Based on the experience of future Lunar New Year movies, starting from the Christmas schedule until before the Spring Festival schedule,

These are all pretty good screening times.

"It's difficult. You all know that these two schedules are basically in the hands of Huang Baiming and Xu Ke!" Lei Kaitai said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth now, I'm afraid the tiger will

I won’t promise you!”

The stalemate continued for a while, and after obtaining enough capital, Xiao Ran finally came up with his true intention: "How about this, Mr. Lei, since you can't get the Spring Festival slot, you have to settle for the next best thing and give me a month of summer vacation slot."

How about it? Plus the schedule is from December 15th to the Spring Festival, so I think they won’t have any objections.”

"In this way..." Lei Kaitai obviously didn't see Xiao Ran's "wolfish ambition". After pondering for a moment, he made sure that this would not arouse Xu Ke et al's objection, and then nodded and agreed with a smile: "No problem."

"But like this, the schedules I got are very bad, you all know this!" Xiao Ran smiled very sweetly, but there is something behind this sweetness that is unknown: "So, I hope to get some in terms of share.

Discount, and I also want to propose a new sharing plan!"

When Xiao Ran proposed the second share-sharing plan, Lei Kaitai agreed. If he could achieve the family fortune he has today, it was impossible not to see that Xiao Ran's proposal was absolutely beneficial to both parties.

Of course, for Xiao Ran, he really took advantage. He could get 75% of the profit in the first week, 65% in the second week, and so on. Xiao Ran was sure

, the longer this film is released, the more beneficial it will be for Lei Kaitai.

He is just afraid that the film will fail after being released for less than a month. In that case, no matter how strong the film is, it will not be able to get much box office. With this trick, he can be sure that it will definitely be on the top ten box office rankings in the coming year.

Videos produced by his new company.
