If it is released for another two or three weeks, the total box office in the Mainland will be over 300 million. Not to mention the cost of poaching people from universities in Beijing will be recovered... Is that a huge profit? Zou Wenhuai is poaching people in Beijing, ten people from one university.

How much money is that? Just a few million Hong Kong dollars.

The 100 million Hong Kong dollars given to Hong Xin was earned back, which is very strong. But with the box office split, plus the island country and the sale of ports in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, Zou Wenhuai's final net profit could be tens of millions.

The rest, the rest are other profit chains, such as the animated version of the Monkey King doll launched by Zou Wenhuai...

For example, the revenue from the video tape market.

This version of the cartoon is indeed a success. Its biggest drawback is that after there is a free live-action TV series version of the show, if you follow the plot again and make Havoc in Heaven, you still have to pay to watch it in a movie theater.

As for "The New Half", it is Hong Xin's only outstanding film masterpiece in her original career.

Are you talking about TV series? No one in this world is going to film the adaptation of Ni Ji's science fiction series.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Old Zou has made a lot of money. In fact, his (Havoc in Heaven) is mainly used to run the team. Even if there is no mainland market, he will definitely not lose money. Those Monkey King dolls can bring back a wave of health."

Did not say."

"The videotape market is also a huge profit chain."

"If you don't talk about other things, if it lasts for seven or eight years and can accumulate sales of about 50 million U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States, it will all be money."

While he was still sighing, he saw Xiaoxian running over and saying, "Boss, Zou Sheng is here to visit."

Zhao Donghuai decisively let the door open.

When Zou Wenhuai came in, he clasped his fists and bowed before laughing, "Zhao Sheng, thank you for your support, thank you for your support, my Jiahe is really going to fly against the wind this time, (Havoc in Heaven) will make a lot of money, I will animate

The studio is now planning to launch the project (Shituoling)."

"I can see it too. The Journey to the West movie you collaborated with Mother Yang is so classic that it cannot be changed. But for my animated movie, I only need to catch one."

"If we make the magical powers, magic, and fighting scenes that are not shown in the live-action TV series more substantial and exciting, it will be very popular."

The TV series version of "Yangma" is an undisputed masterpiece, but it did miss a lot of things. The first is the special effects fighting, which saved countless exciting scenes and details.

Secondly, many of the horrible things shown in the original work cannot be shown in the TV series. They are too disharmonious. Jiahe will not create too many scary scenes, but as long as you grasp the great special effects, fight wonderfully, and study more magical powers.

.

This route is very stable.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "It's indeed good. If you grasp the route well, you won't run into trouble."

Since the mid-to-late 1990s, Golden Harvest has basically become inconspicuous. This is because the overall film industry has declined, and Hong Kong Island filmmakers as a whole have left Hollywood, and have been unable to survive in South Korea, the island country...

Finally, he fled to the mainland.

Zou Wenhuai persisted until 2007 before he couldn't hold on any longer and quit the industry completely.

Now that you have grasped the theme of animated movies? That can last ten or twenty years.

Zou Wenhuai said again, "Sheng Zhao, in addition to saying thank you, I am also thinking of donating all the box office profits of this time (Havoc in Heaven) in the Mainland, in exchange for continuing to recruit animation talents from the three major universities? I don't know.

Is this matter difficult?"

Zhao Donghuai was stunned, then nodded, "It's not too difficult, it can be done."

Now the total box office of animated movies in mainland China has the potential to exceed 300 million yuan. Zou Wenhuai’s original profit was more than 100 million yuan, but he donated all of it??

Although the mainland is also short of animation talents and needs a lot of animation talents to earn foreign exchange, (Havoc in Heaven) has explained that Jiahe's animation focuses more on computer production and technological special effects, while Shangmei Film Studio focuses on paper-cut animation, ink animation, etc.

wait.

Zou Wenhuai recruited a wave of students who had completed their sophomore year last year, and this year they will recruit students who have completed their junior year.

Those students who enter Shangfang Art Factory still have outstanding styles such as paper cutting and ink painting.

Those who were sent to Jiahe on Hong Kong Island to take the computer production route... can be considered to have their feet parallel and walk on two legs, which is indeed a good thing for the mainland.

From 1987 to now, the three major universities have been expanding enrollment for three consecutive years. I heard that the animation departments recruited last year basically had more than 300 people in each university, and the three major universities combined had more than 1,000 people.

Compared to the performance department, which usually has about 20 people per class, it’s not the same dimension.

Some time later, as soon as Zhao Donghuai saw off Zou Daheng in the corridor, he saw Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua walking out of the waiting area. Shao Daheng also smiled and said to Zou Wenhuai, "Ah Huai, good job, animation.

Realm, you can be considered a way out."

"Even without Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen, your Jiahe can still stand firm."

Zou Wenhuai, "..."

He nodded to Shao Yifu with a dark face, and then he ducked out of the way.

Is Jiahe even unable to retain Xu Guanwen? It’s true that although (New Half Category) is produced by Jiahe and the copyright is also owned by Jiahe, Xu himself doesn’t want to fight anymore and wants to quit the industry.

It is not yet confirmed whether he will completely withdraw from the industry or go behind the scenes, but Xu Guanwen also discussed related issues with Zou Wenhuai, so it is not surprising that Shao Daheng got wind of it.

Despite his dark face, Zou Wenhuai's mood was not affected too much. As Shao Yifu said, the animation field has a way out. With or without Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen, he, Jiahe, is still one of the flag bearers.

The field of animation is all about behind-the-scenes technology and has nothing to do with real-life stars.

Besides, in the next year or two, Xu Guanwen can still make a few movies to stay in the limelight.

………………

After a while, he sat back in the office reception area.

Zhao Donghuai made a cup of Kung Fu tea for Shao Yifu, then smiled and said, "Shao Sheng, you are over 80 years old, and Zou Sheng is over 60 years old, so what?"

Shao Daheng laughed loudly, "As for, as for the old naughty boy, the older he gets, the younger he gets. I'm quite happy to see him deflated, but that guy has really made his way out. Seeing you make an animated movie and succeed, we

Everyone wants to imitate.”

"But not everyone can spend 400 million to test the waters. I'm still waiting for Shangmei Factory to finish my project and place an order."

"But his animation production team has already proven its strength with the help of "Havoc in Heaven."

After sighing for a while, Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Sheng Zhao, I came here to film "Long Night". It's already 1990. It would be a pity not to film this TV series as soon as possible."

"I just don't have enough high-quality actors from TVB. I want to find someone from ATV. After the filming is completed, TVB will broadcast one round first, and then sell the second round of screening rights to your ATV??"

Zhao Donghuai glanced at Shao Yifu in surprise and nodded, "Okay."

He sold the script to Shao Yifu in 1983. As a result, it has been 7 years since Shao thought about filming this project? No, he had the courage to do it!

Now that I’m filming this project, I’m not afraid that it won’t be broadcast after filming.

Before this, Zhao Donghuai had not thought about buying the script rights back for filming, but he just felt it was unnecessary...

Back then, he made his first fortune through crowdfunding. He only had funds and shooting capabilities. Without Shao Yifu to support theater screenings, how would there be a follow-up?

Of course, Shao Yifu doesn't support it, and it only blocks his path for a while, causing him a little more trouble. With the simulator in hand, he has no shortage of other opportunities and development.

But if I helped, I helped. There is no need to regret it now.

……………………

June 5th.

Shao Yifu's TVB is about to start filming (Long Night). After the news spread, mainly after the scripts were sent out to the audition actors, it quickly shocked the current film and television industry.

Yaxi dormitory area.

Liu Yijun and Hu Jun, two already famous stars, received the script, but they were interviewed for different roles. Liu Yijun accepted the role of the male protagonist Jiang Yang, and Hu Jun accepted the role of the male protagonist Yan Liang.

When the two big stars read the script, one was more silent than the other, one was more moved than the other, and they smoked a cigarette. Liu Yijun exclaimed, "What a great book. It's such a challenge to my acting skills... I'm not even sure I can do it."

good."

"It's a lot of pressure."

Hu Jun was delighted, "Why did you give me the role of policeman Yan Liang? I think even though I'm not as handsome as you, I can still try to challenge the role of Jiang Yang."

"Come on the street, why do you define Jiang Yang as the template for a handsome guy? Also auditioning with you are Li Ming, Zheng Yinjian, Aaron Kwok, and Jiao Enjun?"

"Isn't this not giving us ordinary male stars a fair chance?"

Jiang Yang in The Long Night is definitely a good role that requires acting skills rather than good looks. At least for an actor, if you accept such a role and perform it well, it will definitely be an outstanding masterpiece in your acting career.

Too bad for acting!

Especially Jiang Yang in the end, who committed suicide at the end of a terminal illness, and his self-narration at the time of suicide, I don't know how many people can make people cry. The acting skills required are too demanding.

Hu Jun thinks he can act, why did he receive the script from Yan Liang?

Yan Liang is also the protagonist, and he plays a very important role, but after reading the overall script, you will know that Yan Liang's performance and performance space are not on the same level as those of Jiang Yang.

So, just because he is not handsome and overbearing, he is... distinguished?

Liu Yijun couldn't help but touch his face, feeling a little happy but also a little helpless, "It's easy to understand that this character is so tragic, sad and even sad. The more handsome the actor, the easier it is for the audience to arouse greater sympathy."

"I'm just confused, can I be compared with those handsome guys like Li Ming, Zheng Yinjian, Aaron Kwok, and Jiao Enjun? Does Shao Daheng think too highly of me?"

The more beautiful things are, when they are destroyed by reality, the stronger the sense of contrast or a very special desire will be.

He also debuted as a big idol in an idol drama, but Ah Jun still felt that he was looked down upon by Shao Sheng.

While the two were chatting and chatting, there was a knock on the door. When Ajun went to open the door, he was stunned at the first glance, "Brother Fa? Brother Jiahui?"

Good guys, these are Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui.

Ah Fa walked in with a smile, carrying a dozen beers in his hand, and said as he walked, "You have received an appointment to audition for a role in the play The Long Night Is Hard to Ming? Who challenges Jiang Yang?"
