"Boss." When Wang Sanri saw Chen Kai, his fat face was immediately filled with smiles.
Then he said as if he was relieved: "Fortunately, we have completed the first film in the past half month and it will be released tomorrow."
After receiving this good news, Chen Kai felt much happier.
From the time Wang Sanri was found until now, it has been exactly 15 days, no more, no less.
Chen Kai first asked about Fatty Wang's current situation: "How are you doing lately?"
Hearing this, Wang Sanri was really flattered: "Thank you for your concern, boss. Everything has been fine recently."
"all the best."
With a special emphasis on one sentence, Wang Sanri talked about the filming progress of the realistic script: "Jiang Kun and Big Brother B have been making a lot of noise in Causeway Bay recently, which provided a lot of material for filming."
"Judging from the current situation, with a few more key materials, it will almost be enough for half the film..."
When it comes to filming, Fatty Wang also talks endlessly.
He is at the peak of his passion.
"Judging from the materials that have been shot, the finished product will definitely be better than the one I prepared before! And the cost will be very low, including post-production, it will not exceed 200,000!!"
"Realistic conflicts are more real and sharper than scripted conflicts..."
"..."
Wang Sanri talked a lot, and at the end he did not forget to sum it up with a sentence: "If it weren't for you, the boss, no one in the world would be lucky enough to see a film like this."
A smile appeared on Chen Kai's face: "Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as his thoughts changed, Chen Kai looked at Wang Sanri and asked: "Do you have any thoughts about Huanzhong Pictures?"
Wang Sanri now somewhat understands Chen Kai's temperament. After hearing this, he directly expressed his thoughts: "I think Huanzhong Pictures may need to adopt a formal development method."
"For example, hiring professional managers, improving various rules and regulations, and setting up corresponding departments as needed..."
"In addition, I personally have a small suggestion. The business scope can include artist management, and some aspects can be learned from TVB..."
"You also have to have your own actors and artists, and establish an internal training process, so that you can make more money."
After a pause, Wang Sanri tactfully mentioned: "I also have more control."
Chen Kai did not comment, but asked: "Don't you want to try it yourself?"
"The boss thinks too highly of me. I don't know how to manage." Wang Sanri shook his head quickly, "I heard someone say that professional matters should be left to professional people."
Chen Kai chuckled: "That makes sense."
This can really be heard in any era.
Then he said: "The conditions are not that good now. Please work harder and recommend suitable talents to me."
"Don't worry, boss!" Wang Sanri promised, patting his chest, "I will definitely take care of these little things!"
Finally, Wang Sanri mentioned some key aspects of the first film: "The first film was relatively simple because it was basically a new cast. It took a little time to find people. In fact, the total shooting period was not long..."
"The total cost is 369,000."
"The detailed list is here, boss, please take a look."
Chen Kai was very surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect Fatty Wang to be able to save money so much. Although it was 1979, a movie that could be put on the screen only cost 369,000?
He even felt a little uneasy: "The cost is so low, you won't lose money, right?"
This is not a real-life script that doesn’t require hiring actors. It’s a real-life story, and the cost can indeed be very low.
Wang Sanri glanced at Chen Kai and said: "Originally I wasn't 100% confident, but if you arrange for Brother Sangwen, Brother Hui and others to help, you should be able to earn a lot, and the cost of painting is not high."
He understands the ways of the world.
"As long as more than 60,000 tickets are sold, the money can be recovered. This only includes our Xiangjiang, not including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Neon, Treasure Island and other places."
Chen Kai raised his eyelids when he heard this, and said to himself: "No wonder every club has a film company."
Naturally, Wang Sanri would not be stupid enough to accept this.
In fact, there are many differences between today's Shanghai Pictures and later generations' Shanghai Cinemas.
For example, the film company can even share more than 60%.
Wang Sanri used the currently more mainstream ticket price of 10 yuan as an example, so 60,000 tickets would be enough to recoup the cost.
In fact, the current average ticket price in Xiangjiang is about 7 yuan, and mainstream movies are basically priced at more than 10 yuan for the first time, and then lowered a little later. These routines have been the same since ancient times.
………
After Wang Sanri came, Sangwen and the others went to work on the drawings for the movie, and Chen Kai was left with Daozai alone.
Therefore, Chen Kai had more time and simply stepped up his efforts to 'militarily train' the little Jew.
Anyway, this is my daily routine these days.
The lottery is still very reliable, and the skills are known to be what they are and why they are what they are. Wing Chun is a martial art that can be practiced both internally and externally, and has the effect of strengthening the body.
Based on Chen Kai's current level of popular Wing Chun mastery, he can be considered to be well placed.
Teaching a little Jew is no problem.
But today Chen Kai did not teach Wing Chun, but took the little Jew out to find an open space.
Just when the little Jew was confused, Chen Kai took out the short-barreled revolver and said, "Try shooting a few times."
This gun is very simple to use.
Don't worry about this or that.
Anyway, it's produced by the lottery carousel, so it won't suddenly get stuck.
After seeing that the little Jew fired a few shots, Chen Kai ordered: "There are less than 100 rounds of bullets. I carry them all with me. They only weigh one kilogram, which is about the same weight as a gun."
"Oh." The little Jew nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, he was brought back to Kailer Palace.
Directly increase efforts to start Wing Chun teaching.
I used to think that I was just a little Jew who ate simply, but I soon discovered that I was indeed malnourished.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the little Jew said honestly: "I will prepare meals well in the future. I was not nutritious before."
Chen Kai waved his hands indifferently, then sat aside and watched.
In order to pass the time, Chen Kai rarely turned on the turntable and drew five times at a time... The 3.05 million on hand was 50,000 less, which was just 3 million. He probably still couldn't afford to rent a suitable venue.
Basically, everything you get in this lottery can be considered garbage.
Big Brother, blue men's suits, white men's suits, women's cheongsam, women's happy clothes
All of them can be bought with money, and except for the big brother, the total cost is less than 10,000.
It can only be said that the reason why the carousel is running is because Chen Kai has no clothes to change!
That’s fucked up.
Daji had already given Chen Kai a mobile phone before, and Guapi followed suit and sent some small gifts, including a mobile phone.
At that time, Chen Kai handed it over to Ming Wen, who mainly used it to facilitate communication.
Now there is one more, absolutely amazing.
Looking at the little Jew who was practicing duel, Chen Kai turned his hand and took out the big brother in the inventory: "You can use this thing, and just call if anything happens!"
The little Jew hurriedly took it, nodded his head and replied: "Oh, I know, I know."
…………
When Chen Kai was idle, the whole of Hong Kong could hear the name Wang Sanri and the first movie he shot.
This is the result of promotion from many parties.
In addition to the funeral papers, Wang Sanri's father Shulin Wang also did not hesitate to help his son and mobilized his own connections.
Under this situation, the movie named "Hong Kong Spring" by Wang Sanri was officially filmed in Hong Kong.
Before the day was over, 47,000 tickets had been sold!
It can be said to be a fire!
Chen Kai was very happy and held a celebration banquet at Kaile Palace that night... This chapter has been completed!
