50, ready for release
Shao Yifu's strength made Liu Dapao very angry. He only had half of the movie theater? Moreover, he wanted to buy out the overseas box office of only 6 million Hong Kong dollars, and Liu Dapao refused to agree. Shaw Brothers has markets in Southeast Asia, Riben and Taiwan. It has a good work that can easily have an overseas box office of tens of millions.
Seeing that Liu Dapao was about to leave, Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Dapao, don't you have to worry. The business has to be negotiated slowly, right? Since you are not satisfied, I won't go around the circle. The box office in Hong Kong is divided by 64. Overseas box office must not be divided. You must buy it out at one time. This is Shaw's rule, and no one can be an exception. So, I will collect an integer for you, 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Cannon, you must know how to stop when you are a person. Although [Heroic Reality] is very good, without Shaw, it is hard to say how much box office it can reach without Shaw. I have to pay a lot to get a reward. Cannon, do you think I should get a share of the pie?"
"Haha, Uncle Six, I have nothing to say when it comes to this. Forget it, I just don't want the income from overseas box office. I just want the box office in Hong Kong and I won't share the profits of you. The box office in overseas is all yours. We will promote each other and have nothing to do with each other. You should be satisfied now, right?"
Liu Dapao had no choice but to say that such a distribution plan is indeed very reasonable, it depends on their respective sales plans. Overseas box office is generally higher than local box office, but Liu Dapao does not have any overseas box office resources, so he can only give in.
Shao Yifu looked at Liu Dapao and fell into deep thought.
"This kid looks confident. It seems that he is optimistic about the box office. But since the box office in Xiangjiang can be good, can the box office in other places be worse? Well, just give him a face. When he makes Shaw Brothers Cinema popular, he will still benefit from his future movies."
Shao Yifu thought.
"Okay, just do it like that. But don't just keep lingering. If the box office in a single day is less than 10,000 yuan, you must be removed from the shelves."
Shao Yifu made a decision.
Liu Dapao laughed and said, "Uncle Six, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Besides, 10,000 yuan a day, can I like this little money? Okay, Uncle Six, sign the contract."
After signing the contract, the two of them held each other's hands and laughed.
After leaving Shaw Brothers, Liu Dapao immediately asked Lao Zeng to make a promotional poster.
Shaw Brothers Theater has 16 cinemas under its sequel, most of which are in good locations. If the publicity work is done well, the ticket sales work can be done better.
Sixteen theaters are screening together, which is also very sensational. The situation is quite big and needs to be promoted well.
Lao Zeng quickly made a batch of promotional posters with photos of Chow Run’s hair, Di Long and Leslie Cheung. That night, he supported it with iron frames at the entrances of various cinemas.
Zhou Run's hair is a popular young actor, so his image is enlarged and placed in the middle. The image of Brother Ma wearing sunglasses makes people feel that one word is handsome when they see it.
At the entrances of each cinema, people passing by saw the posters at the entrance of the cinema and began to talk.
However, when it comes to the ticket price, everyone is a little discouraged, because the ticket price of [Heroic Reality] is more expensive than other movies, with a nightclub of 30 yuan per movie. Generally, movies are five yuan or ten yuan, and the ticket price is too stunning.
Because the box office in Xiangjiang this time belongs to Liu Dapao and also to the contract, we have to use our own people to sell tickets to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The total number of employees of Feitian Film Industry is not that many, and there are only three in finance. Therefore, Liu Dapao can only arrange for people from Jingling to come.
At that time, it will be sold out every day and handed over to financial statistics before depositing it into the bank.
Hearing that he was coming to sell tickets, the people under Hei Dog were all very happy. The number of people in the security office of the Black Dog Exhibition exceeded 1,000, so some of them could be moved out. Of course, Liu Dapao also paid them a salary. He was a temporary employee, with 300 yuan a day.
Each cinema is assigned two people to sell tickets, one specializing in buying tickets, and the other person is responsible for selling fruits and vegetables from Zhaojingling, and can eat radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes and other things directly. This is a job and can make money by selling vegetables.
Of course, these things are much more expensive than popcorn and sugarcane. You have to buy a carrot for 100, a cucumber for about 100, and a tomato for dozens of yuan. White radish is even more expensive. This one is too heavy, so this variety is not sold.
However, the tickets were not sold very well. That night, only more than 100 tickets were sold in each cinema.
Upon hearing the news, Lao Zeng and Wu Yusen were worried, but Liu Dapao was not afraid at all. The attendance rate might be worse two days ago, but with the strengthening of publicity, the attendance rate will definitely explode.
Liu Dapao went to the Sun and Moon News early the next morning and found Lao Jin, who readily agreed to promote the [Heroic Characters].
"Da Cannon, you actually made a movie. I have to go and see it tomorrow's show."
Lao Jin smiled.
Liu Dapao also smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Don't thank me, just send me some classic martial arts novels in the future. [Xu Qin Ji] novel serialization and TV series are still many readers now. The sales of "Daily and Moon News" are far higher than other newspapers, thanks to you."
Lao Jin smiled sincerely and said, "He said this correctly. Now not only other newspapers are full of jealousy towards the "Daily and Moon News", but even other novelists, including Ni Kuang, have certain complaints about Lao Jin."
Most of them think that the novels of [Xu Qin Ji] are not as literary as the novels they wrote, full of vulgarity and eroticism. They can't figure out such novels. Especially Ni Kuang, who has asked Lao Jin to give an ultimatum more than once. If they are not taken seriously, he will take his novels to other newspapers to serialize.
However, Lao Jin was obviously unmoved by this. After [Looking for Qin], he could also serialize several excellent novels, and he also had the novel machine Liu Dapao, so he was not afraid at all.
After leaving Lao Jin, Liu Dapao went to find Huang Xizhao again, and Huang Xizhao also agreed to promote [Heroic Characters] on Li's TV station.
Although the ratings of [Xu Ming] cannot suppress [Xu Qin Ji], it still brought a large number of viewers to Li's TV station. Now it is about to enter paid dramas, and Li's TV station is ready.
Huang Xizhao promised to promote [Heroic Character] in the advertisement between the two episodes of [Yueming].
Liu Dapao immediately informed Lao Zeng to make the promotional materials and hand them over to the "Daily and Moon" and Li's TV station.
After doing enough preparation and good film quality, Liu Dapao was full of expectations for the box office in Japan.
At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Dapao came to a leading theater under Shaw Brothers Cinema. After observing for a while, Liu Dapao's ticket sales here were still very good. The tickets for the first game were actually sold out. Some viewers also bought radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. It seems that they are still rich people.
At half past six, the cast members came, and Shao Yifu and Lao Jin also came together.
"Uncle Six, Lao Jin, you are here, I thought you are not here."
Liu Dapao stepped forward to catch it and said.
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Of course we are coming. The cannon looks very good. The ticket price has increased, so it still sells very well."
"It's okay, Uncle Six, Lao Jin, let's go in."
