238【Zombie Family Celebration Banquet】

"Zombie Family" was released for 20 days and was officially released. The total box office was as high as 28 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking its own box office record in the summer.

This result not only caused a sensation in the Hong Kong film industry, but also made Xia Tian very excited as a "20 million director" and three film companies that participated in the investment, Debao, Darong and New Art City, very excited.

In summer, the three families were urging them to share the money, so they planned to hold a celebration banquet on Friday night. At that time, they would not only celebrate the actors, but also share the money for their collaborators.

Four Seasons Hotel, banquet hall, decorations of lights, cups and plates, crowds are surging, and it’s so lively!

Today, not only were the main creators of "Zombie Family", but also many artists and directors of Tianxia Pictures, as well as bosses of major Hong Kong film companies, as well as friends in the media industry, etc.

"A Tian, ​​it's amazing! Another big-selling movie!" Hong Jingbao looked at Xia Tian enviously.

"Brother Hong has been awarded. It's so honorable for you to come here so hard." Xia Tian also said gratefully.

Hong Jingbao now has two movies, "Summer Lucky Star" and "Dragon Heart". He is both the starring and director of both dramas, so busy that he can be said to be dizzy. Even so, it is really commendable that he can still attend to tonight's celebration banquet.

"I heard that today is the 'spoils' conference', so of course I'm going to see it." Hong Jingbao laughed.

Xia Tian also smiled, "Please!"

"Mr. Deng, please!" After seeing Hong Jingbao off, Xia Tian welcomed Deng Guangrong again.

"Mr. Xia, congratulations." Deng Guangrong bowed and smiled.

"No, it should be the same joy," Xia Tian smiled.

"Ah, it's not bad, it's the same joy." Deng Guangrong said with a laugh.

He has invested in the drama "Zombie Family", and he can also share a lot of money when making money this time, so he is naturally "joy together".

Saying Deng Guangrong away, we welcomed Xiang Huasheng, Xiang Huaqiang brothers, Li Guoxing of Meiya, Huang Baiming of Xinyi City, He Guanchang of Jiahe, Wu Siyuan of Siyuan Film, etc.

...

Standing at the door to welcome guests, the last guest arrived, and only returned to the banquet hall in Xiatian.

"Everyone, please come on stage to speak." The emcee said with a smile.

Amid the applause, summer walked onto the stage.

"Everyone, welcome everyone, thank you for your support," he said with a smile. "Today's celebration banquet is to celebrate the box office success of "Zombie Family", reaching 28.653.720 yuan."

Although everyone already knew this result, he couldn't help but take a breath after hearing his announcement.

Logically speaking, the cast of the movie "Zombie Family" is not strong, and it has box office appeal, but Xia Tian, ​​Lin Zhengying and the other two, but the box office reached a terrifying 28 million, which is really unbelievable.

You should know that "The Best Stars" that gathered Hong Kong's first-class comedians and kung fu superstars at the beginning of the year, and the box office has just exceeded 30 million.

"This young man is really amazing." The guest exclaimed in his heart.

"Zombie Family" is written, directed and acted by Xia Tian. That is to say, he almost fought against the three brothers of Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao with his own strength, plus Feng Chufan, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin, Zeng Zhiwei, and Hu Huizhong. He can be regarded as a genius!

"The great achievements of "Zombie Family" cannot be separated from everyone's efforts. In addition to the actors in front of the stage, we must also thank the staff behind the scenes." Xia Tian also said, "Thank you for your hard work, which made this movie so successful. I bow to everyone here to thank you! Thank you everyone!!" He bowed deeply as he said.

Thunderous applause immediately sounded from the audience.

"Of course, it's useless to say thank you. The bonus was more affordable at that time." Xia Tian smiled again, "This time I took out 150 Hong Kong dollars to reward the heroes in front of the stage and behind the scenes."

Hearing that he said, the guests from the audience looked at each other, and were puzzled.

It is reasonable to reward the actors in front of the stage, after all, everyone does this. However, it is a bit redundant to reward the staff behind the scenes.

You should know that at this stage, Hong Kong movies still use celebrities as their biggest selling point. For example, Cheng Long's movies, no matter who shoots them or the quality, as long as he is named, he can sell high-priced movies overseas.

When Liu Dehua was popular, he could sell 8 million Hong Kong dollars in overseas with his name. The total cost of asking him to film was only three to four million. In other words, as long as he could invite Liu Dehua, he would have made 4 to five million. Therefore, the vicious incident in which he was shot with a gun at the head.

Because celebrities are so important and appealing, most Hong Kong films are now star-centric, and even directors must move closer to celebrities. Like Cheng Long's movies, no matter who shoots them, they are all in Cheng Long's style; Zhou Xingchi's movies have changed a lot, but no matter how they change, they still have the taste of Zhou Xingchi...

Even the director has to surrender to the stars, let alone other behind-the-scenes workers. They are just not worth mentioning. It is good to get a salary. As for the bonus, don't even think about it. There has never been such a rule in the entire Hong Kong film industry!

"Are you wrong? Is it too exaggerating to give 1.5 million yuan to the backstage?"

"It's a win for people's hearts, this is!"

"This young man is really not simple."

All the guests whispered, shocked by Xia Tian’s decision.

"Please come to the stage and receive the award." Xia Tian did not control the commotion under the stage, but shouted.

Then, the actor representative in front of the stage, Wang Xiaoxian, the staff representative behind the scenes, Chen Fangdai, also known as Chen Yixin's father, stepped on the stage together.

The media reporters from the audience pointed at the two of them, and they shot them all, and the flashing lights made Xia Tian’s eyes faint.

Xia Tian immediately clapped his hands, and a lady etiquette immediately sent a huge check board with a pattern of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to the stage.

"Thank you for your careful performance." Xia Tian presented a huge check board to Wang Xiandao.

Wang Qixian laughed, "Why isn't it cash?" she asked curiously.

"How do you take one million and a half million cash? Even if you take it, what are you going to divide it? There are so many people on the scene, so it's not completely messed up." Xia Tian smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking. Now the award is being presented, be serious!"

Wang Xiaoxian nodded, then held the check board and gave the reporters sweet smile, which suddenly shook many reporters.

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work behind the scenes." Xia Tian then presented another huge check board to Chen Fangdai.

"A Tian, ​​why are you polite to me? If I hadn't been supported by you, I would have been unemployed long ago. If Yixin had not been supported by you, would he become so promising now?" Chen Fangdai said with a smile.

"Yixin and I are brothers, it should be." Xia Tian smiled, and then stood with them and asked the reporter to take a few photos.

"Okay, the award ceremony ends here." Xia Tian smiled, "We guests can't watch, right? I'll announce the start of the banquet now!"

Wow!!! Hearing his shouting, many guests from the audience laughed and applauded.

The waiters also entered one after another. In a moment, the banquet was served, and the wings of abalone ginseng and the delicacies of mountains and seas were all considered top-notch.

The guests sat down one after another and started eating.

Xia Tian and several major film companies entered the private room next to the banquet hall. Although only three people actually participated in the money this time, Xia Tian invited the bosses of several other major film companies to watch.

First, let them be stimulated and bid more happily next time; second, show their credit and let them have more confidence in themselves.

"Everyone, I've divided the small money just now, and it's time to share the big money." Xia Tian said to everyone.

When Hong Jingbao, Deng Guangrong, Huang Baiming, Cen Jianxun, He Guanchang and others heard it, their eyes lit up. Although most of them were not qualified to share money today, it would be nice to have a look after it. Besides, although they did not invest in "Zombie Family", they also invested in other movies. Today they were about to see if Xia Tian would abide by their credit and share their box office with everyone.

"Everyone, the ones participating in the money this time are Xinyi City, Debao and Darong. They will each share 10% of the profits." Xia Tian said, "Now I will report to you the current profit situation of "Zombie Family".

"I have sold the box office in Hong Kong for 28.65 million. Nanyang, and I have sold it to Mr. Li Guoxing of Meiya. A total of 30 million Hong Kong dollars were sold." Xia Tian said again.

Hearing that he said, everyone here looked at each other.

30 million Hong Kong dollars, this price is not very high.

"When I sold it, it was a month and a half ago. At the same time, there was also "Detective Chocolate", both of which sold for HK$30 million. It was precisely the money that I rented Tongxin Cinema with Sir Shao." Xia Tian said again, "Many people here should have heard of this."

"So the total revenue of "Zombie Family" is this money. In addition, there should be market returns from Taiwan and Japan. However, there is no profit for the two places yet, so there is no need to calculate it today. But I promise you that as long as the money from the two places comes back, I will settle it with you immediately." Xia Tian said again.

Everyone here nodded.

"Okay, everyone, this is the various accounting expenses during the filming of "Zombie Family". I remember every transaction very clearly. If you have any questions, you can mention it to me." Xia Tian said again.

Huang Baiming, Cen Jianxun, and Deng Guangrong all shook their heads. When the filming of "Zombie Family", they had already sent people to stare at each account and had clearly recorded it. There is no need to worry about it anymore.
