Chapter 1872 1874 [Motivated]
…
Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing again.
"Mr. Ning, these are the company's accounts, please take a look and see if there are any omissions." Wang Jing handed over the company's financial statements for the first half of the year to Xiang Nandao.
"Don't look, I can trust you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, he really didn't care about the business of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If you have that energy, you might as well look at the stock market. A daily limit is tens of millions of dollars, which is much more profitable than Real Kung Fu Pictures.
"It's better to have a look." Hearing what he said, Wang Jing was happy, but still said with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded and had no choice but to read it.
In the first half of the year, the company released six films, namely "Bawanghua 4", "Angel Action 3", "A Lang's Story", "The Best Lost Friend", "Girl 1988" and "Tonight's Stars Are Brilliant". .
Among them, "A Lang's Story" was the most popular, with a box office of nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was Du Qifeng's best-selling work. The second is "The Best Lost Friend", which cost more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Bawanghua 4" 12 million Hong Kong dollars, "Girl 1988" 10 million Hong Kong dollars, "Angel Action 3" 8 million Hong Kong dollars, "Tonight's Stars" 8 million Hong Kong dollars, "Children's Party" 700 More than ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, the results are considered good.
Combined with overseas box office revenue and sales of video tapes, Xiang Nan earned more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of the year. In Xiangjiang in 1988, this was definitely a lot of money.
At that time, the salary of a top superstar like Chow Yun Fat was only one million Hong Kong dollars.
The remuneration of the Xiangjiang film industry is out of control, after the new century. At that time, Hong Kong films were able to enter the mainland for distribution, coupled with the pursuit of mainland filmmakers, the remuneration of Hong Kong stars began to surge.
In 1992, Liang Chaowei's film salary was only one million Hong Kong dollars. When filming "Infernal Affairs" in 2002, the friendship price was tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
It’s like in the 1990s, after the upheaval in Eastern Europe, a huge market for Hollywood movies was added out of thin air, so the salaries of the actors have been rolling upwards.
Before, the salary of top superstars was only five million dollars. After the upheaval in Eastern Europe, it quickly grew to tens of millions of dollars, and there were even 20 million clubs in a few years.
…
"Director Wang, the benefits are good." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied, keep working hard."
"Yes, Mr. Ning." Wang Jing nodded, "By the way, Mr. Ning, that Ms. Shanshan, I also helped you to take care of it, and nothing happened."
"I know that, I've seen her before." Xiang Nan nodded, and then smiled at Wang Jing, "It's terrible, Director Wang, how do you discipline her. After half a year, she's completely changed."
The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change. He originally thought that reforming Shanshan would be laborious and protracted. He didn't expect that she would have such a big change in only half a year, which surprised him a little.
"It's very simple, I just let her see how top stars are treated in Xiangjiang." Wang Jing laughed.
When Shanshan first came to Xiangjiang, she did not change her bad habits. She was late for class and left early. She didn’t like to listen to lectures or practice.
If Xiang Nan hadn't entrusted her to the class, ATV would have fired her long ago.
Seeing this, Wang Jing took her to some events, allowing her to see with her own eyes how those top stars are treated. Flower applause, stars holding the moon, and much attention...
Shanshan was aroused to be competitive, so she knew to study hard.
After hearing this, Xiang Nan admired Wang Jing's idea.
The reason why many people don't like to study is because they don't know what the result of hard work will be.
So many people will play truant, skip classes, sleep, and pursue temporary happiness.
Wang Jing's approach is very clever, let Shanshan see the results of her hard work, and she naturally has motivation.
…
Xiang Nan expressed his gratitude to Wang Jing, and immediately gave him a check for two million dollars.
"Director Wang, this is a reward for you. Give this much first, and then look at the future development. If she keeps her feet on the ground and reforms herself, I will give you the rest of the rewards one after another." Xiang Nan laughed. .
Wang Jing waved his hands again and again when he saw the check, "Mr. Ning, you are too polite. I only did such a small thing, so I don't need such a generous reward, please take it back."
Before, Xiang Nan did say that if he taught Shanshan well and made her change her ways, she would be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars.
But Wang Jing didn't take it seriously.
On the one hand, tens of millions of dollars is not a small amount. Now the price of luxury houses in Mid-Levels is only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Tens of millions of dollars are enough for him to make movies for a lifetime.
On the one hand, he also heard insinuations that Shanshan and Xiang Nan are not related at all, and they are not boyfriend and girlfriend.
Since this is the case, when Xiang Nan said that he wanted to discipline her, he might just say it in passing. After all, there is no reason to spend tens of millions of dollars for a stranger.
But unexpectedly, now, Xiang Nan really gave him two million dollars, which shocked Wang Jing.
"One word from a gentleman, one quick whip." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you agree to reward, you can't go back on it, so just accept it. In the future, use more snacks and help me take care of it."
"Mr. Ning, forgive me for talking too much, what is the relationship between you and her?" Wang Jing asked in confusion.
"It's hard to explain, so don't ask any more." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In short, help me look after her, and I won't treat you badly."
Wang Jing blinked, then nodded.
…
After Xiang Nan met Wang Jing, he successively met Guan Zhilin, Li Zhi, Li Lizhen, Chen Yalun, Qiu Shuzhen and others, and then he asked Qiu Yueqing out for tea.
Qiu Yueqing was the champion of Miss Asia last year, and she was also the winner of the four single awards of Miss Photogenic, Best Costume Performance, Miss Beauty and Miss Beauty, which shows her high quality.
It's just that the champion of Miss Hong Kong, Yang Baoling, was superior in appearance and temperament. She participated in the Miss World and Miss Universe beauty pageants and achieved excellent results, so she stole Qiu Yueqing's limelight.
Coupled with the frequent appearance of newcomers in the Xiangjiang performing arts circle in recent years, such as Wang Weixian, Carina Lau, Zeng Huaqian, Lizhi, Ye Yuqing, Qiu Shuzhen, Gao Lihong, Zhang Manyu, Li Meifeng...all of them need to have good looks, good figure, and temperament Has a temperament, so Qiu Yueqing's stardom is not very good.
Up to now, ATV has not signed an artist contract with her, and no film company has invited her to film.
In comparison, Yang Baoling has already made two films, "Urban Beauty" and "Raising Young Boys". Even Li Meifeng, the runner-up, was invited to act in "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", "Courtship Expendables", "Senior Sister Sunshine" and so on.
Qiu Yueqing was naturally very anxious. After all, her purpose in this business is for fame and fortune.
If no one asks her to make a film, then where will she make money. No work, no money to earn, so I have to go back to being an office white-collar worker again.
So after receiving Xiang Nan's invitation, she rushed over immediately.
