    The matter of dividing the box office should actually have been done a long time ago. "A Better Tomorrow" has actually been released in Hong Kong for some time.  But since Li Mingbao started talking to Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun about the theater chain when the painting was just started, this matter has been postponed until now.  Although the box office in Hong Kong is large, it is not in the minds of the big guys, especially since this movie has done very well in overseas markets, which is much higher than the box office in Hong Kong. Although the box office in Hong Kong broke the box office record,  But in the light of overseas box office, this little money is really nothing.  What¡¯s more, Hong Kong¡¯s box office does not only have one or two restaurants, but four. No matter how much the box office is, if so many people share it, the profit will not be too high.  Now Uncle Liu is bringing this matter out, one is to solve the problem at hand, and the other is to relax the atmosphere so that the tension will not be high at the beginning of the conversation, which is not a good thing for cooperation.  Since the box office this time was shared by Li Mingbao, Liu Shu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun, the box office money did not fall into any one's account, but directly applied for a public account at Standard Chartered.  Now that we have started to divide the money, we must calculate the accounts clearly.  Uncle Liu, who was the first to suggest box office sharing, said: "This movie has a box office of almost 63 million. According to our previous agreement, Li Sheng will get 40% of the total box office, and we will share the rest equally.  " When Uncle Liu said this, Li Mingbao immediately interrupted and said: "It's not easy to calculate the fraction of the box office, so I will suffer a small loss, so I will calculate it as a round number. For my 40%, I will calculate it as 60 million, and the remaining  "You can take whatever comes next." "Li Sheng is indeed a man who has made a lot of money in Hollywood. It's close to the end of three million Hong Kong dollars. If you don't want it, don't take it. It's so generous."  The hatred that was forced by Li Mingbao before.  "This is not a question of whether I am lavish or not. The main reason is that we have to talk about business later, and the appetizers are going to make a fuss. It's not the same thing. Two to three million Hong Kong dollars, I believe all of you here are not.  I will take it seriously, so I will carry forward my style." Li Mingbao didn't feel much about Lei Juekun's tone.  After all, he wanted to rob Princess Jin, so it was normal for Lei Juekun to complain.  If the matter could be settled with such a small grievance, Li Mingbao would definitely make a profit without losing any money, but things would obviously not be that simple.  "Since Li Sheng has said so, Uncle Liu, let's do the math. How much can Li Mingbao get for the 40%?" Li Mingbao doesn't care about these trivial matters with Lei Juekun, and Lei Juekun won't rashly stir up trouble, so he immediately  Changed his mind.  "If it's only 60 million, it's fine. Li Sheng gets 40% of the commission from every theater chain, including those small cinemas. In this way, the money Li Sheng can get is 24 million Hong Kong dollars.  . Of course, this is only the box office in Hong Kong. Li Sheng is the one who negotiated the overseas exports. Now let¡¯s talk about the money we made from cooperation. It will be opened in Southeast Asia.  Including Taiwan's box office, my income here is about 130 million Hong Kong dollars, so Li Sheng, you can get 54 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will transfer this money to you later."  He spoke.  In fact, the box office in Taiwan plus the box office in Southeast Asia is not only 130 million Hong Kong dollars, the actual box office is much more than this.  But overseas is different from Hong Kong. In those places, Uncle Liu does not dominate the sky with one hand. Although he has his own theater chain, he mostly cooperates with others. After all, it is necessary to open such a large stall. For Uncle Liu, it is also  Very difficult thing.  So in other places, Uncle Liu basically uses his own theater chain if he can. If he can't, he cooperates with others to strive for a larger market.  Since there are many local theater chains that are not in the hands of Uncle Liu, then more money will naturally not fall into Uncle Liu's pockets, but will be made by local film businessmen. This is just like Li Mingbao in the United States.  Just like letting 20th Century Fox do the distribution, there is always a distribution fee.  Therefore, in terms of overseas box office, "A Better Tomorrow" in Southeast Asia and Taiwan sold better than any previous Lee Ming-pao movie, but the money received was not much more.  Of course, this is also because Uncle Liu has not taken over all the agents in East Asia, leaving Japan and South Korea to be distributed by Zou Wenhuai.  When Uncle Six mentioned the overseas box office, Zou Wenhuai was still disgusted by Uncle Six, but on the surface he pretended to be very happy and said to Li Mingbao: "To say that this time, this film has received better results in both Japan and South Korea.  The share is higher than that of your previous two movies. Regardless of just two countries, the box office revenue is much higher than that of the entire Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Of course, the money is more.  Let their local film producers make money, but what is left to us is still? is a small number.  This time, South Korea and Japan contributed more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in box office to us. Chow Run-fat has also opened up the market. Now they are very familiar with Chow Run-fat, a Hong Kong actor. There will be movies of his in the future.  You can definitely get a good profit share if you show it there.  "Two hundred million is just over a few million. I'm sure you won't mind this fraction, Li Sheng, so I'll just count it as 200 million."  According to our sharing method, which is still 64 points, your income will be 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than three times higher than your box office income in Hong Kong.  If Hong Kong movies can make as much money as you do, then this industry will really be a money printing machine.  "Perhaps it was because Li Mingbao was too lazy to calculate the small change before. At this time, Zou Wenhuai also ate up the small change. It's not that he was really greedy for these millions of Hong Kong dollars, but that he also wanted to take a breath. In the Hong Kong film circle  After having been around for so many years, now you are eaten by a young boy. No matter how generous Zou Wenhuai is, he feels a little unhappy. And the way the boss shows his displeasure is like Zou Wenhuai, who will eat you millions directly. Anyway, at this time.  Li Mingbao would definitely not argue with him over such a trivial matter. If he could take advantage, he would not suffer. Zou Wenhuai must have done the same thing. The box office figures obtained by Uncle Six were really so neat.  Uncle Liu has a stingy personality. If the money is less than 130 million, then Uncle Liu will definitely go to great lengths to give Li Mingbao the change. He will not lose a penny to Li Mingbao, but Li Mingbao should not try to earn more than Uncle Liu.  But if it's too much, Uncle Six will definitely not be polite and secretly deduct all the excess money to save trouble and take advantage. Uncle Six likes to do this kind of thing. Although Zou Wenhuai also takes advantage, Zou Wenhuai also takes advantage.  This is where he is more generous than Uncle Liu. Even if he takes advantage, he does it openly. Unlike Uncle Liu, who is so stingy that he hides away from others and doesn't tell others. In addition, he was disgusted by Uncle Liu before, but now.  When Zou Wenhuai brought up the minor issue, he probably wanted to give Uncle Liu some eye drops. In fact, it was not just Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai. If Princess Jin had channels to sell the film to overseas markets, he would also do the same if Li Mingbao handed over the film to him.  The princess just didn't have this ability, so Lei Juekun could only take advantage of Princess Jin's overseas channels before, which was never very good. Even in history, Xinyi City was disbanded later, and this problem was not solved.  It has not been resolved. Therefore, it has always been Princess Jin's dream to go abroad. Unfortunately, no matter how capable she is, it is just a dream. How could Li Mingbao not know what Zou Wenhuai had planned?  Therefore, Li Mingbao is not surprised at all when Zou Wenhuai does this. He is not afraid of conflicts between Liu Shu and Zou Wenhuai, but he is afraid that Liu Shu will be so good that he wears a pair of pants with Zou Wenhuai, which will be difficult for Li Mingbao. But looking at the situation now, Liu Shu is obviously in conflict with Zou Wenhuai.  Zou Wenhuai had no idea of ??reconciliation, but Li Mingbao was relieved. None of the bosses of the three theater chains was a fuel-efficient person. If they only dealt with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun in the future, Li Mingbao would have to make careful decisions if they wanted to unite.  Now that Uncle Liu is brought in, even if Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun join forces, Li Mingbao is not afraid. With Uncle Liu as an old fox, the meaning of these two people joining forces is definitely not as significant as that of Uncle Liu not joining forces. In doubles, Li Mingbao will  I'm really not afraid of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. The income brought by the movie "A Better Tomorrow" to Li Mingbao has now been released. It has just been released in Europe and the United States, and it will take some time to know the box office, but even if it is the East Asian box office,  It also brought huge profits to Li Mingbao. The local box office was 24 million, the box office in Southeast Asia plus Taiwan was 54 million, and the box office in Japan and South Korea was 80 million. The total box office of this movie in East Asia was  , brought Li Mingbao an income of 158 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, after paying taxes, the money Li Mingbao could get was only about 130 million.  The tax revenue of nearly 20 million is not a small amount.  The reason why the previous movies did not pay much tax was because Li Mingbao's original income was not high. The tax of several million Hong Kong dollars was really a drop in the bucket compared to the income of 100 to 200 million.  In addition, the film taxation in East Asia is completely incomparable with that in Hollywood. Even the taxation of Hong Kong films is pitifully low, and there are subsidies.  Therefore, Li Mingbao wants to live a comfortable life while filming movies in East Asia. Compared with the taxes in Hollywood, this place is paradise.  But in fact, the tax gap is not that exaggerated, mainly because the taxes in the United States are in US dollars, while the currency values ??in East Asia are not very high. In comparison, the tax gap looks very big.  The same tax of one million is in Hong Kong dollars here and in US dollars there. The actual difference is eight times, which looks terrible.  Such a large box office revenue is completely disproportionate compared to Li Mingbao¡¯s previous investment.  ???Calculated based on the investment interest rate, it is an interest rate ratio of 1 to 31.6, which is more rewarding than any current investment in Hong Kong.  Of course, the investment-return gap of "A Better Tomorrow" is larger, but compared with "Home Alone", it's far behind.  Li Mingbao's original investment in "Home Alone" was only about one million US dollars, but the income brought to Li Mingbao was 1.6 billion US dollars. If the copyright income is added, the return rate of "Home Alone" can reach an astonishing 360 million US dollars.  times.  This kind of income ratio may not be broken by Li Mingbao in his lifetime. If he wants to find a suitable movie like this, he will never be able to do it, unless Li Mingbao invests in other industries.
