Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because "Daoma Dan" did not have as wide an audience as "Happy Ghost", the box office did not rise as high as "Happy Ghost" did. Instead, it spent two weeks relatively smoothly and then began to decline.  .?But this was not Waterloo. When many filmmakers thought that "Dao Ma Dan" would stop at 19 million, they did not expect that by the time the film was finally released, it would pass 20 million without any danger.  On August 1st, "Fast Food Truck", which succeeded "Daoma Dan", was finally released with great fanfare amidst overwhelming advertising.  However, at this time, many newspapers published some attention-grabbing news.  "Ten million writers! Twenty million screenwriters!" "According to incomplete statistics, Lin Jing's income from writing books alone has reached tens of millions. And among the scripts written by Lin Jing, just the box office in Hong Kong has already  "Three works have exceeded 20 million." "There are actually many capable writers, but Lin Jing is the only one who can combine quality and speed, so she is a writer of tens of millions." "In fact, when it comes to writers of tens of millions,  Jin Yong is truly a writer worthy of his name, as are Gu Long and Ni Kuang.  But in order to attract readers' attention, the newspaper deliberately did not mention these three old timers.  So, because of those reporters who like to talk endlessly without shocking things, Lin Jing got the nicknames of "Ten Million Writers" and "Twenty Million Screenwriters", which sound ugly, but I don't know how many writers and screenwriters I envy.  The books written by Lin Jing, "Heroes", "Kunlun", "Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Three Kingdoms", have been sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even in the Chinese areas of Southeast Asia.  As for the English novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" written at the beginning of the year, it has also been released in Europe and the United States.  Just because Lin Jing is an unknown newcomer in Europe and the United States, and she is also Chinese, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were not only unable to compare with the previous works, but also very poor.  Fortunately, as time went by and the reputation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" grew, sales finally gradually improved.  In terms of movies, because Hong Kong movies don¡¯t pay much attention to publicity, the distribution fee for a movie in Hong Kong is not high. Excluding the share of the theater chain and the extremely low movie tax, sometimes some large production companies  You can even get up to 40% or even more than 40% of the total box office share.  Spacetime Film Studio is not large in scale and has a short history. It certainly does not belong to this category of companies, so its total box office share does not reach 40%.  However, compared to the previous movies "Let's Sell Nothing", "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan", the box office sharing agreement reached with Golden Harvest is much higher.  The reason is that on the one hand, Jiahe saw the potential of Time and Space Film Studio, or it wanted to establish a good relationship with Lin Jing.  Lin Jing's screenwriting ability has been proven by high-grossing movies such as "Five Lucky Stars", "Plan A", "If You Sell Nothing", "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan".  On the other hand, Jiahe's competitor, New Art City, has put a lot of pressure on Jiahe in the past two years. Shaw Brothers, which had been on the same front before, has confirmed that it is no longer viable. In order to improve its competitiveness, it urgently needs to find a partner.  A strong friend.  The relationship between Time and Space Film Studio and New Art City is very cold, not to mention that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, so in order to win over Time and Space Film Studio, Jiahe "generously" gave more benefits to its friends.  So, in the end, with these two movies, Spacetime Film Studio¡¯s revenue may reach 15 million.  Excluding the production cost of 5 million, the profit is about 10 million.  The profit of 10 million is only the box office revenue in Hong Kong.  Time and space movie studio.  "Ms. Lin, this is Manager Chen Qizhi of Scholar Company." "Hello, Manager Chen." "Hello, Miss Lin, I have long admired your name." The two parties sat down and discussed the release of "Happy Ghost" and "Daoma Dan" in Taiwan  issues are discussed.  Scholar Company has established a huge theater chain, but film production cannot keep up. Film production in Taiwan has declined, so it relies heavily on Hong Kong films for film sources.  So hungry for film sources that Scholars Company invested money in films from all over the world.  Later, in Hong Kong, except for a few film production companies such as New Art City and Golden Harvest, which did not have funds from Scholars Company, the others more or less accepted investment from Scholars Company.  "I'm not afraid to be honest. Our Scholar Company makes and distributes movies to make money. If we don't make money, or if we don't all make money together, your company and ours will collapse sooner or later." "The truth is indeed the truth." Mo Ziqi replied  road.  "Yes." Chen Qizhi was very satisfied with Mo Ziqi's answer. He nodded, stretched out the middle index finger of his right hand and said, "YouThe movies produced by ??Spacetime Movies are all very good, whether it is the "Dry Wine" released at the beginning of the year, or the "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" released two months ago.  Therefore, our company is ready to buy out the distribution rights of these two movies in Taiwan.  " "Buyout?  "Mo Ziqi frowned slightly. Lin Jing was not surprised by Chen Qizhi's proposal to buy out the distribution rights of "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan. Buying out the distribution rights of Hong Kong movies in Taiwan is something that Taiwan's  The common practice of film distribution companies. At this time, Taiwan is dominated by Hong Kong movies. Generally speaking, the box office of Hong Kong movies will not be as low in Taiwan. Of course, there are no guarantees in everything.  Although the director, screenwriter and some of the actors are all Hong Kong people, it is actually a Taiwanese movie, so its Taiwan box office is much higher than its Hong Kong box office.  , Taiwanese distributors like movies that have already performed successfully in Hong Kong, and "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" are naturally very successful examples. "So, how much money is your company going to spend on it?  "Mo Ziqi asked. ""Happy Ghost" is four and a half million, "Dao Ma Dan" is three and a half million.  "Chen Qizhi took a sip of coffee and then replied, "Including the distribution rights of the video tape.  " "Four and a half million, three and a half million?"  "Mo Ziqi's frown deepened. "Perhaps seeing what Mo Ziqi was thinking, Chen Qizhi smiled and added: "Don't worry, it's not New Taiwan dollars, it's Hong Kong dollars."  " If it's New Taiwan Dollars, that's really bad. Chen Qizhi thought that if he said it was New Taiwan Dollars, he might be kicked out immediately. " This is a very fair price. Both of you and I will make money.  " Lin Jing was not too surprised by the 4.5 million for "Happy Ghost" and the 3.5 million for "Dao Ma Dan". Her psychological expectations were about the same. These two movies exceeded 20 million.  Movies have already made a lot of money at the box office in Hong Kong. Outside of Hong Kong, they can earn as much as they sell. (To be continued.)
