Chapter 219 Brother, you got the wrong person

At noon that day, Cheng Long was doing simple rehabilitation exercises in the hospital when he saw Ye Jihuan knocking on the door and walking in with a fruit basket, "Wow, Brother Long, it seems that in a few days, you can be as good as before."

It’s so fierce.”

Aaron smiled and said, "Brother Huan, it's a good thing that you're interested in coming to see me. Why don't you bring any gifts?"

Ah Huan put down the fruit basket and said with a smile, "First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery. Police Story 3 is a global hit, and its box office reputation has taken off. By the way, Brother Long, is your Police Story 3 East Asia and Southeast Asia sold out? How much is it?"

Cheng Long was a little surprised, how could a murderer like Ye Jihuan ask such a thing? But he still smiled and explained, "There is no outright sale, usually Zou Shengzai contacts the South Korean island country, Star-Matai Cinema, and slowly collects the bill.

."

Ye Ji was happy, "Good guy, I used to only know that Zhao's movies were sold out to Li Guoxing, the second-generation film maker. I thought that people also operate like that. I almost forgot that Zou Sheng is also a big boss."

"How much did Police Story 1 and 2 cost in South Korea?"

Mentioning this, Cheng Long slowly walked back to the bed and sat down on crutches, and said with a smile, "The statistics at that time were that Police Story 1 had 1 million moviegoers in South Korea, and 2 had 2.3 million moviegoers."

"At that time, a ticket was 20 and 25 Hong Kong dollars respectively, which was equivalent to a box office of 20 million and 57.5 million Hong Kong dollars."

"But in the end, for the first part, Zou Sheng only asked for 5 million Hong Kong dollars from there. For the second part, he said he could get back 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. But so far, there is still 10 million Hong Kong dollars that has not been paid. The issue of late payment,

too disgusting."

When was Police Story 2 released? It was September 1986, and now it’s 1988!

Ye Jihuan was shocked, "Fuck, it's really..."

They are really less classy than desperadoes like them.

This is also a trend that was influenced by Zhao Donghuai and was hit by the butterfly effect after it became a big hit in North America. The original Police Story, which was not released in North America, only received 600,000 moviegoers in South Korea, and the second movie was watched by 750,000 people.

Visitors.

With the explosion in Europe and the United States, it has become even more popular and wild in South Korea and island countries.

After being shocked, Ye Jihuan continued, "It was Yingying who called me to ask about my situation. He said that this movie was based on him and it was so exciting. If the South Korean theater chain is not particular about it, he will urge it for you.

Collect the bill.”

Cheng Long's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Thank you? It's appropriate to say thank you. He couldn't understand for a while, how could Yingying have such thoughts? He also always thought that after the Wanjia Comprehensive Supermarket and Wanjia Cinemas renovated by Jietian Retail were renovated, Hong Kong would

Only when the film enters South Korea can it be like what happened over there, directly changing from other places to a box office collection model similar to that of the local area.

Eagle... Brother Long was actually moved by a man for a moment.

Ah Huanlang smiled, "The Four Heavenly Kings are going to plant their flag there and take over. I guess they will become South Korea's local gangsters in the future. Eagles are just idle and want to cause trouble. Brother Long, you don't have to do anything."

Cheng Long immediately became anxious, "How can that be done? When I recover from my injury, I will fly to Seoul and have a few more drinks with him."

"Wait for me to call Zou Sheng. I guess Zou Sheng and my godfather will fly to Seoul immediately to say thank you."

Damn, this is really a big deal. Just considering the number of viewers for the first and second installments of Police Story, this third one must have more than 3 million viewers, right?

3 million visitors equals a box office revenue of HK$75 million!

If you can get this back, it will basically be equivalent to a profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still South Korea. Is it appropriate for you not to thank the other party?

Ah Huan was even happier, "If Zou Sheng wants to go, that's fine. Then Zou Sheng and I will be together. After wandering around for so long, I also miss the beauties in Seoul."

Ah Huan and the Eagle Gang were two gangs of murderers who defrauded the police of the island country of a reward worth 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Seoul. This happened at the end of July and early August last year. In the past few months, Ah Huan almost lost all his money due to bad gambling.

.

Doesn't he miss the beauties in Seoul... Well, the beauties in Seoul are actually quite exciting, but he still misses the rich people in Seoul.

Cheng Long, "..."

After being silent for a while, Aaron smiled bitterly, "Brother Huan, you are gambling, you are risking your life with your head, and all the money you earned is lost in one venue after another. Next time you might as well find a group of your own brothers to play with, then your losses won't count.

It’s cheaper for outsiders.”

Ah Huan was speechless, "How can I enjoy playing with my own little brother? They don't have much money for me to win. I don't believe I will lose forever."

After talking and laughing for a while, Ah Huan got away from me. Although he was a bad gambler, he still had a heart to win back, which is the standard mentality of a bad gambler.

Aaron hurriedly picked up the phone and called Zou Wenhuai. He didn't say anything. When Zou Sheng put down the phone, although he was confused and speechless, he quickly booked a flight to Seoul.

The flight from Hong Kong Island to Seoul usually only takes three and a half hours.

He and He Guanchang set out with two bodyguards. After all, the bodyguards were hired from the Pan Asia Group. They cost 50,000 yuan a month alone. It was a waste of money for Zou Sheng and He Guanchang, but Pan Asia could

The sense of security it gives people is not at the same level.

……………………

When a new day arrived, Zou Wenhuai woke up after rubbing his head for three hours, then drank warm water.

After waiting for a while, when he and He Guanchang went down to the cafeteria for breakfast, Zou Shengcai complained feebly, "I'm old, I can't accept it. I almost vomited and fell down after drinking that wine last night. When those young people left,

, I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

He Guanchang also had a wry smile on his face, "You can still hold on until the end of the show. You are very strong. I was confused halfway through."

It’s about tens of millions of movie box office profits. What’s wrong with having a lot of drinks? Besides, if the box office of the third part is not concealed and the debt is defaulted, then the box office of the first and second police stories that have not been received yet is

Isn’t there hope now?

Then it’s not just a matter of 30 million.

The first two parts of Police Story had a total box office of 77.5 million in South Korea, and they only pocketed 15 million Hong Kong dollars. Is it outrageous? But this is all the limelight that Zou Wenhuai has spent his whole life to get.

While the two were sitting having breakfast, a Pan-Asian bodyguard came over with a few English newspapers and reported, "Zou Sheng, yesterday Police Story 3 came out at the box office."

"There are 150,000 moviegoers in Seoul and 500,000 in South Korea!"

Zou Wenhuai took a long breath, "How many?? 500,000 people?"

Incredibly, He Guanchang grabbed a newspaper directly, and then he couldn't hold back his smile and joy. How could he not be ecstatic? (Plan A) 1.2 million moviegoers in South Korea, and (Five Lucky Stars) more than 800,000 people in South Korea

Number of moviegoers.

(Sequel to Plan A) There were only over 500,000 moviegoers in South Korea!!

Police Story 3 broke 500,000 viewers in South Korea on the first day? In terms of box office, that’s HK$12.5 million on the first day.

This is a big bomb that has the potential to exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and may eventually exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars!

South Korean theater chains... Actually, the biggest ones in South Korean theater chains in the future will naturally be the conglomerate model, such as Rakuten, Samsung's CGV, and Mega Joy Cinemas. These were basically established in the 1990s or even the millennium, and they are not there yet.

Appear.

In the 1980s?? There were all kinds of no-name and small theaters. Your family and I formed a theater chain alliance. The model was similar to Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe Cinema Line. They rented several leading theaters and invited some scattered theaters to join.

Share dividends, that's it.

This was also one of the biggest reasons why it was difficult to collect money in the 1980s. A large number of businessmen, some franchised one theater, some several, or more than a dozen, formed a strange alliance of hundreds of theaters.

Power is decentralized. You have your own thoughts and I have mine. Even if you want to find someone who seems to have a greater say, it is difficult to find someone. It is a chaotic alliance.

However, this alliance still has a lot of theaters and movie theater seats. For example, in 1979, Cheng Long's Drunken Master hit a record of more than 2.6 million moviegoers in South Korea. Before the 1990s, Cheng Long was the most popular movie in South Korea and also in Hong Kong.

The highest-grossing film in South Korea.

In 1983, Shaolin Temple only attracted more than 800,000 moviegoers in South Korea.

Excitedly reading various English newspapers, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang became more and more excited and excited...

If South Korea's box office can really exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars, then the money they can get is about 50 million Hong Kong dollars, not the 30 million level guessed yesterday. Then the help that Eagle helped this time is really a big help.

.

After watching and chatting, after breakfast, Zou Wenhuai said, "We will continue tonight. Those handsome guys have helped a lot, so we can't be insincere."

He Guanchang nodded heavily, "Let's continue!"

No matter whether the Eagle Gang takes action or not, they, the film industry tycoons, must show more sincerity.

……………………

About the same time.

A handsome South Korean boy was driving to his theater, humming a song and reminiscing about yesterday's affair. Song Jimin was only 25 years old. During his schooling, he was a scumbag and could not escape such a big event as military service.

But when he really entered the society, he realized that whether it was the top students and academic masters during his studies, or the contemporaries who performed well during the military service, or the seniors.

Entering society, how many people can live a more comfortable and happy life than him?

Song Zhimin is a native of Seoul. Her family is not very wealthy. They only have two houses and three theaters in the bustling areas of Seoul, which are also multi-hall theaters. The largest leading theater is a three-story, eight-hall theater in the bustling business district.

This is enough to make Song Jimin the second generation envied by countless South Koreans.

With his worth, he can enjoy playboy-level benefits. He can casually hang out in the family business during the day, but he is super high at night. Wherever he goes, he can pick up pretty girls to talk about his life ideals.

Although the family also arranged a blind date for him, she was the second daughter of a similar family and she was pretty good-looking, but Song Zhimin didn't want to enter the marriage grave so early.

When the car was about to arrive outside his Longtou Theater, Song Zhimin looked happy looking at the crowds of people going to and from the theater. This crowd of people walking around was all money, and they were all leeks that contributed to the wealth of their family!

No matter how low the local film industry in South Korea is currently, but Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong blockbusters are rolling in one after another, no matter how good or high the real box office revenue is, after paying taxes, 70% to 80% of all kinds of money will fall into their hands.
