Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 349: Box office hit, hard to get excited

The Porsche sports car was speeding on the viaduct. The girl driving the car was very unhappy and her little mouth was pouting.

Didn't this girl keep urging Li Jiankun to come over? Lin Xinjia was away from the port city because of something, so he contacted her before setting off. She happily came to pick up the car, but it turned out that someone's souvenir was just a small comb.

The most annoying thing is that there is a line of small words on the comb handle——

China Civil Aviation souvenirs.

"Hey, to be honest, there is nothing to bring with you from the mainland. What kind of stuff is there in the port city?"

"You can bring a box of shell cream with more sincerity than this one!"

Oh, you also know that Shell Frost, the rich young lady, is not easy.

It's not Li Jiankun's fault. The awkward relationship between him and Miss Huang makes it really difficult to give gifts. The more sincere you are, the less likely you are to give them.

It's easy to cause problems.

"Shell Frost, right? Then I really brought it with me. If I had told you earlier, I would get it for you as soon as I got off the car."

Huang Yinzhu: "..."

Li Jiankun has dry skin. After all, it is winter. No matter how nice the temperature is in Hong Kong, dryness is inevitable. Clam oil in the 80s was known as the king of moisturizing in skin care products and was a must-have for home and travel.

Miss Huang has a carefree temperament. After he made jokes for a while, the expression on her face gradually changed from gloomy to clear.

"Hey, how did you know that "Ghost Fighting" would be a hit? To be honest, did you really see something, or were you just blind?"

"I said I could calculate it with my fingers, do you believe it?"

Huang Yinzhu's eyes were bright and she asked seriously: "What kind of qigong is the mainland's special function?"

Li Jiankun: "..."

Do you believe this?

Many people may not know that after the wave of supernatural powers, or Qigong, started in the Mainland, people in many places overseas believe in it more than mainlanders.

For example, Hong Kong City.

After the scam about Tang Yu's kid's ear reading was exposed by scientific researchers and published in the newspapers, Hong Kong's Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao and other media outlets immediately published comments and criticized the mainland scientific researchers for being too arbitrary.

The same goes for the beautiful country.

After all, it is a mysterious big country in the East, the country with the best continuity of civilization in the world. It is not surprising that some powerful things have been passed down.

Just like in the 21st century, there are still many crooked people who believe that in the fertile soil of China, not to mention Bruce Lee per capita, there are absolutely as many people who know kung fu as a feather.

Li Jiankun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "Stop being pretentious and just tell me directly, how much is the box office?"

"You didn't even answer my question."

"Yes. That's fine."

"Whoa! Do you have qigong yourself, or is there a master who gathers luck and protects the law behind you?" Huang Yinzhu was shocked.

What and what...

Li Jiankun guessed that [-]% of her father believed in this trick. The richer the people in Hong Kong City, the more they believed in Feng Shui and fortune. Those masters and Feng Shui masters were often the guests of the rich. They had special arrangements and it was easy to make money.

"The secret must not be leaked. Hurry up!"

Huang Yinzhu turned her head sideways, feeling affectionate, and stroked one hand from her right knee to her thigh, "What are you doing quickly?"

She was wearing a pair of tight jeans today, and her legs were in perfect shape. It would kill her to tease them like this.

Li Jiankun rolled his eyes, fell his head back, and complained!

"Are you still not a man?"

Huang Yinzhu said angrily: "883 million."

Hey!
Li Jiankun sat up straight again, his adrenaline soaring.

Big explosion!
Of course, the investment is much higher than in the previous life. The final total investment for this film was 130 million Hong Kong dollars. It is considered a big production these days. In the previous life, it could have been 65 Hong Kong dollars?

The plot has not changed, but Uncle Ying has been replaced. The production is more sophisticated and the details are richer.

It can't be justified without a box office increase of several million.

"Where does it rank at the box office for the whole year?"

"third."

really.

I have read the information provided by Huang Yinzhu before, which evoked many memories of Li Jiankun. Of course, it has something to do with the fact that several Hong Kong films in 1980 were so famous.

Let's not mention Jackie Chan's "Junior". When he and Huang Yinchu co-produced it, the film had been released for a long time and the box office exploded. It was the first film in the history of Hong Kong films to have a box office of over [-] million.

Definitely the first of the year.

The second place of the year is "The Tragic War" from the same period. A documentary can become a hit, with a box office of nearly [-] million. It is difficult not to remember it.

The original third place should be "The Trench" directed by Robert Close and starring Jackie Chan.It is worth mentioning that this crooked nut used to be Bruce Lee's partner.

Now it seems that he was kicked off by "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

Li Jiankun raised his fingers, he had to settle an account.

The total investment is 130 million, of which Hong Jinbao's Baohe Film Company invested 30. He and Miss Huang invested a total of 100 million, and he accounted for [-]%...

"What the hell, wouldn't you ask me? The money has been deposited into my account."

Huang Yinzhu gave him a big eye roll in return.

Li Jiankun obviously arrived late. It is now 1981, a quarter has passed since the film was released, and the interests of all parties have been distributed long ago.

"Then... may I ask Miss Huang, how much have I earned?"

Huang Yinzhu smiled with satisfaction and talked about business without any hesitation.

Hong Kong City's box office accounting method is extremely complicated. It is impossible for someone like Li Jiankun to calculate it with his fingers.

The first is the two taxes, entertainment tax and distribution fee, the former is 17.5% and the latter is 15%.

After paying the tax, the profits will be distributed between the theater and the film studio.

Films produced by large companies and small companies are different, and the former will definitely receive better treatment.

Fortunately, Hong Jinbao is well-known in the circle. The Hong family class is well-known, and he has the support of his old employer Jiahe, and he is treated like a big company:

That is, in the first week of box office revenue, 60% will be distributed to the film studio and 40% to the theater.There are 5 shows per day, and the copying and promotion costs will be borne by the film company.4:00 pm and midnight shows, [-]-[-] split.

In the second week of release, the entire time period is split [-]-[-].

In the third week of release, the film studio gets [-]% and the theater gets [-]%.

If the momentum is strong, the film will continue to be scheduled and the share will remain unchanged. However, usually the most popular movies will have a film scheduling period that is difficult to exceed one month.

In the end, theaters and theater chains split the money, and film producers and investors split the accounts.

After listening to Huang Yinzhu's detailed explanation of the situation, Li Jiankun's expression was dull. He knew he had to pay taxes and knew that theaters and theater chains would take money, but he never expected that they would be so harsh!

What else are you doing?
There are not many coins left.

Huang Yinzhu looked at him and asked: "You don't suspect that I embezzled your money, do you? The taxes paid are documented, and the share of the tax is well documented."

"What are you thinking about? I just didn't expect the tax to be so harsh."

The two tax items add up to 32.5%!
The small 300 million wood is gone.

What Li Jiankun didn't know was that the 1993% entertainment tax was canceled in 17.5 because of his harshness.

Huang Yinzhu helplessly shrugged and continued: "The net profit shared by our film studio is 295 million, not counting fractions. As the director, Hong Jinbao will get 10%. After the remaining is divided into 3 shares, it will be distributed according to 2:8:61.3, and Baohe Pictures will get it. 40.8, I’ll get 163.4, and you’ll get [-] million.”

She was a little excited after saying that.

No matter what, the 20 she invested has doubled.

This is the first investment in her life, with a 100% return rate. What else do you want?

Her mother praised her to the heavens, and even her father, who was always serious about words, gave her a few words of praise.

She was very satisfied.I just wish I didn't listen to this guy and invest more.

However, there was no smile on Li Jiankun's face, which made his excitement all in vain.

"No, you..."

Huang Yinzhu noticed his expression and said in surprise: "You are not satisfied with the huge profit of 83 yuan? After all, we didn't do anything, so it's like we just received a fortune!"

The rationale is correct, but when the money is invested, it takes several months.

Just recovered double the income...

People who have spare money and no investment projects can just play around.

To be honest, Li Jiankun has never done a business with such a low return rate since he came back from the reincarnation.

If he had known this, he would be better off doing anything with the 80 Hong Kong dollars than investing in a movie.

Not interesting.

But Huang Yinzhu doesn't think so. She has just made her first pot of gold by investing in a movie. She has been praised by her family and flattered by her friends. Now she is in high spirits.

"Hey, since you have a mysterious trick, how about we get down to business and set up a film and television investment company together?"

Li Jiankun put flowers on his head.

"Do you want to do it or not? If you don't do it to me... I'll drive the car into a ditch!"

Li Jiankun: "..."

Why does this threat sound wrong?
