Chapter 1853 1855【Give up power】
After the Cannes Film Festival ended, Cong Shan and Zhang Yimou returned to the mainland, and Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Wang Jing's new film "Chasing Girls in Hardcover" is currently being screened.
He actually wanted to make this movie two years ago. But at that time, Xiang Nan took me to shoot "Best Partner 3", so it was suspended.
At the beginning of this year, he restarted the project, and also cast Chow Yun-fat, who became popular last year with "The True Colors of Heroes", as the starring role.
With the addition of Chen Baixiang, Feng Pufan, a group of laughers, and Zhang Manyu, Jiang Liping and other beauties joined in, the box office of this movie is quite good.
The final box office was more than 21 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking ninth in the annual box office rankings, which is quite a good result.
And "Zombie Family" directed by Liu Guanwei has also been released some time ago.
Lin Zhengying, Jiayuan Biao, two popular stars, together with Lou Nanguang, Curry and other green supporting funny performances, as well as the cute little zombie, made "Zombie Family" a very good box office after it was released.
The final box office was more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered very good.
…
"Mr. Ning, congratulations, you have gained again at the Cannes Film Festival." Wang Jing cupped her hands and said with a smile, "The jury award is really amazing!"
"Thank you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you win an award or not, as long as you earn a little more at the box office."
"Hey, you're right, I think so too." Wang Jing laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Do you have any new plans?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"I'm going to change the subject, Mr. Ning, I want to make a movie about winning treasures, what do you think?" Wang Jing asked with a smile.
In recent years, whether it is Hollywood or Xiangjiang, movies on the theme of winning treasures have been very popular. For example, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" starring Harrison Ford, "Brothers of the Dragon" starring Jackie Chan, "Jewels of the Nile" starring Michael Douglas and so on.
Because of this, Wang Jing wanted to follow suit and make a movie. He thought it should be a big hit at the box office.
"Tell me the story first." Xiang Nan nodded.
Wang Jing then told a story of winning a treasure that he had conceived.
When Xiang Nan heard it, he knew it was a movie called "Magic Emerald" that he had seen before.
This movie tells the story of Andy, a treasure hunter, who discovers a magical emerald, which attracts gangsters and foreign spy organizations to loot it. Afterwards, Andy brought Jade to the treasure site, only to find out that Jade was an alien's computer...
Xiang Nan nodded. In his impression, the movie was very lively. It was a treasure trove, a sci-fi movie, a joke, and an action... It was a mess, but it was good for relaxing.
"Okay, you can take pictures if you want." He said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Wang Jing nodded.
…
"By the way, Mr. Ning, have you considered making Real Kung Fu Films bigger?" Wang Jing suggested again, "Now there are many new stars and new directors emerging in Xiangjiang, I think the company can shrink."
But in the past two years, Xiang Nan has stopped making films in Xiangjiang, and Jackie Chan has also gone to Hollywood to develop, so now under the banner of Real Kung Fu, only Lin Zhengying is still popular.
Others like Chen Baixiang, Zhong Chuhong, Feng Pufan, Chow Yun-fat, etc., although they have cooperated with Real Kung Fu Films many times, they only signed a part contract and did not sign a brokerage contract, so they cannot be regarded as real kung fu people.
So although Real Kung Fu Films makes money every year, and it makes a lot of money. But under Real Kung Fu Films, there are no real superstars anymore.
Therefore, Wang Jingcai hoped that the company could recruit troops. Otherwise, it would really be a small company.
"Okay, if you think it's okay, then gather it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, he is not too concerned about Real Kung Fu Pictures now.
On the one hand, he knows that Xiangjiang movies will not be popular for a few years, and will be out of fashion in ten years at most. No matter how much Fei puts his mind to it now, by then, it will be nothing more than fetching water from a bamboo basket.
Huang Baiming once said that he was stupid. In the early 1990s, Mai Jia and Shi Tian, the two bosses of New Art City, retired to speculate in stocks and real estate, earning a lot of money. He is the only one who is stupid and thinks Xiangjiang Films has a future. As a result, I persisted for more than 20 years, and the market became worse every year, so I regretted not quitting early.
On the one hand, even if the Xiangjiang movie is popular again, the total box office will only be 100 to 200 million US dollars, which is not as good as Xiang Nan's box office in Hollywood. After a year of hard work, I only earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Now that Xiang Nan has a big family and a big business, he has long since ignored it.
"Director Wang, you put more effort into this company than I do, and you will have to worry more about it in the future." Xiang Nan said again, "Well, I'll give you a new title, General Manager of Real Kung Fu Films, with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars. , plus an annual 10% equity dividend.”
He knew that Wang Jing was not only a shrewd director, but also a successful businessman. He has established Jingyi Films, Wang Jing Studio, and Best Partner Film Company... Hand over Real Kung Fu Films to him, and Xiang Nan believes that he can manage it well.
Take a step back and say, even if he doesn't manage well, there is Jiahe next to him, so he won't watch him mess around.
Wang Jing saw that Xiang Nan entrusted the company to himself, not only with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars, but also a 10% equity dividend, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.
According to the current profit of Real Kung Fu Films, every dividend is two to three million. In this way, he is equivalent to earning an additional three to four million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is equivalent to his salary for making four or five movies.
Of course he is happy to be so cheap about his business.
"Mr. Ning, are you serious? You really entrusted me to take care of the company?" He asked happily.
"Don't be so petty, with such a tens of millions of business, how can I still coax you?" Xiang Nan complained.
Wang Jing smiled and scratched her head.
Right. Xiang Nan earned hundreds of millions of dollars a year in Hollywood. Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, in the eyes of others, is really a small business. Anyone who makes a movie casually has an investment of 70 to 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Then I thank you in advance. Don't worry, I will take care of the company well." Wang Jingxia promised.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan and Wang Jing signed a letter of appointment, formally hiring Wang Jing as the general manager.
After all, no matter how nice the words are, they are not as reassuring as the words in black and white.
…
"Miss Li, you are truly worthy of being elected as the champion of Miss Asia." Xiang Nan said to Li Zhi with a smile.
In 1985, ATV also launched a beauty pageant just like TVB. The first winner was Li Yanshan, and the second winner was Li Zhi.
She not only has gorgeous facial features, but also has a hot body. Therefore, she was regarded as a seed player and a big hit when she participated in the competition. After being elected as the Asian sister, there were naturally flowers and applause.
Because of her beauty, she was selected by Wang Jing. After her younger sister was due, she was handed an olive branch.
