City Start Striving for Becoming a Rich Man

Chapter 25

The guarantee fee can also be regarded as a difficulty in front of the film company.

Xiangjiang often has only one company for each film, which means registering a company for making a film to facilitate settlement.

If you don’t have sufficient funds for a film company, you can wait to collect the money before you finish the film.

You have to prepare a guarantee fee for the theater.

There are a lot of small productions that fall on the guarantee fee. I would rather the film rot in the warehouse than to be shown in theaters, because that way you lose more.

Peninsula Hotel

Afternoon tea

Ni Shixiao and Lei Juekun sat together, drinking tea.

“Ni Shao, you really have something to do with your youth”, Lei Juekun complimented Ni Shixiao.

“Dong Lei, you are absurd. You are old and strong.”

“Mr. Lei, I actually wanted to see you a long time ago.”

“Oh, I don’t know if Shao Ni has anything to see me.”

“Lei Dong, I want to talk to you about the joint screening and the cancellation of the guarantee fee.”

“Appreciate further details”

“Dong Lei, this is the case. The Jiahe family is now the only one. Our two can hold a group to keep warm. So I propose that in the future, the films made by our two companies should be screened in two theaters at the same time.”

“Then how should we settle accounts and how should we coordinate?”

“Dong Lei, this is why I proposed to cancel the guarantee fee; we will get a share from the cinema in the future, such as 6 or 4 points with the film company; the same is true for our two families, and we share each other.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Then what if no one is watching the film? What if there is a conflict between the screening time of your two films?”

“No one watched the film, we won’t arrange it. In the future, we will only watch the box office. When someone sees it, we will arrange more. If no one sees it, we will not arrange it. Everything will be evaluated by the audience.”

After listening to Ni Shixiao’s words, Lei Juekun pondered for a long time, “Okay, Ni Shao, then we’re going to make it.”

“Let’s announce it to the outside tomorrow, and hold a press conference.” Lei Juekun suggested.

“Okay, Lei Dong, you decide.”

Mandarin Hotel

Large conference hall

Sitting on the summit are Lei Juekun, Ni Shixiao, and Cen Jianxun

The bottom seat was full of reporters.

Ni Shixiaoqian asked Lei Juekun to make an announcement, and Lei Juekun walked to the speaking table.

“Dear news media, I, Lei Juekun, the chairman of the Golden Princess Theatre, now announce to everyone.”

“Golden Princess Cinemas and DreamWorks Cinemas will have in-depth cooperation; in the future, all films will be screened by the two theaters.”

The reporters underneath exploded, yelling for questions one by one.

“Please be quiet first, and I will leave time for you to ask questions; in addition, I also want to announce that our two theaters will cancel the guarantee fee. In the future, all films in our theaters will adopt a sharing system, with a ratio of 6:4. Everyone can start asking questions.”

Lei Juekun answered the reporter’s questions one by one, and when the questions were finished, the press conference was over.

The press conference is over, but the impact is far from over.

After the news appeared in the newspapers, Xiangjiang’s film and television circles started intense discussions. For the film companies, this is good news. The financial pressure for filming in the future will not be so great.

Shaw Brothers, now Shao Yifu’s energy has been transferred to the wireless side; he hasn’t taken care of Shaw’s affairs for a long time. Although he is not reconciled, there is no good way, otherwise he will not plan to rent out the theater.

But Jiahe’s side is not good, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang scolded their mother in the conference room, “Lei Juekun and Ni Shixiao are two bastards.”

“They canceled the guarantee fee. Will there be any films on our theaters in the future?”

“Guan Chang, it seems there is no way, we have to cancel it as well, otherwise we will be passive after a long time.”

“The two theaters are screened together. I am afraid that the satellite companies below us will be unstable. The two theaters can make more…” He Guanchang said worriedly on the side.

“You godfather, please comfort Aaron, I will talk with Hong Jinbao.”

After the joint screening of the two academies and the cancellation of the guarantee fee, Ni Shixiao’s film and television territory has entered the fast lane. Now the distribution in other cities is not strong. The film can only earn some in Xiangjiang, and the other cities are sold directly to the distribution company.

But this is not anxious. DreamWorks Studio has not proved its strength. It is normal to be run on by others. When more good movies are shot, they will naturally be willing to sit down and talk with you.

There is also news from the office building that Sun Hung Kai intends to sell, and now the price is stalemate. The two are engaged in a tug of war between prices. One buys with sincerity and the other sells with integrity. Sooner or later, we can negotiate.

However, Ni Shixiao will not be taken advantage of. If Sun Hung Kai does not cut the price, he will change his goal. Xiangjiang is not only suitable for the headquarters of this building. .
