Entertainment 1998

Chapter 133 132, Eat meat in large chunks, divide gold in large scales
On New Year’s Eve, there are very few pedestrians on the road!

Coming from the Beijing Film Academy community and walking to Xingtan Road, Jiang Feng saw only a handful of cars and pedestrians.

Stepping onto Xingtan Road, Jiang Feng saw from afar that the rolling door of the beef ramen restaurant had been closed, and there were two big locks on the rolling door. Jiang Feng was about to turn around and ask Wang Jinghua, "Are you sure Xinfusheng Restaurant will be open for business today?"
But before I could say anything, I saw a middle-aged man coming out of Xin Fusheng Restaurant. He was wearing a long black down jacket and standing on the sidewalk, rubbing his hands, looking to the left, then to the right...

When he saw Jiang Feng, Wang Jinghua and Li Xing walking over, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Jiang Feng, come quickly, come quickly!
I've been waiting for you for a while. If you don't come over, Boss Liu will really have to notify the front office manager to close the store."

"Hello, Mr. Han!"

Although China Film Group will not be announced until May this year, Han Shanye's appointment letter has already come down. Perhaps it is because of his outstanding performance in the production and marketing of the movie "Moon" that the relevant leaders have noticed him. He was originally only planned to serve as the vice chairman and deputy general manager of China Film Group, but now, he has been confirmed to serve as the vice chairman and general manager of China Film Group.

Although there is only one less word "deputy", it has a huge difference in power, because the chairman is the highest leader of the film regulatory department and usually does not take charge of specific business.

"Ha ha…"

Han Shanye was obviously very pleased to hear Jiang Feng's sudden call of "Mr. Han". He took two steps forward, grabbed Jiang Feng's hand, and walked into Xinfusheng Restaurant with him.

"Come on, Jiang Feng, let's go in and eat. It's my treat today."

...

On weekdays, the bustling Xinfusheng Restaurant became deserted today. Only three or two waiters were walking around the restaurant, serving wine, serving dishes, and pouring water...

"Jiang Feng..."

"Mr. Han, tell me."

"The movie "Moon" is very popular in Europe and the United States. Those blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners really like this kind of creative movie. That's why we made a lot of money this time. In Europe and the United States alone, the exclusive distribution rights of this movie were sold for 3601.54 million yuan." It can be seen that Han Shanye was very happy. As soon as he sat down at the dining table with Jiang Feng and Wang Jinghua, he began to talk excitedly.

"3601.54 RMB, if it was someone else, they would definitely be satisfied, but not me.

I think since we are going abroad, we must sell this movie for more than 4000 million RMB.

So I went to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.”

At this point, Han Shanye paused, pointed at the hot pot on the table and said, "Jiang Feng, I wanted to treat you to a good meal today, but the hotel has to celebrate the New Year, so there are no decent dishes in the restaurant.

Hmm..., how about this, let's have hot pot for lunch today?"

"Mr. Han, you're too polite. The hot pot is very good. I always want to eat it, but I never have the time!" Han Shanye, who has not yet become the number one in the Chinese film and television industry, still retains his simple temperament, and his words and actions make people feel like spring breeze.

Even though Jiang Feng is just a student who has not yet graduated from the Beijing Film Academy.

So Jiang Feng was also very polite to him.

"Mr. Han, as you know, I have to attend the Spring Festival Gala tonight, so I can't drink with you for lunch. Um, two bottles of beer at most."

"Okay, two bottles is two bottles!"

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Han Shanye agreed very readily at this time.

Li Xing, currently Jiang Feng's assistant, is not qualified to eat at the table, but opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

If it were someone else, they would have gone outside the restaurant to chat with the waiter by now. We are all human beings, so why are you sitting while I am standing, and you eat while I watch?

But Li Xing was different. She took the beer bottle from the waiter with a smile on her face and started pouring beer for the three people at the table.

"Eh... who are you?"

Turning around and seeing the beautiful Li Xing, Han Shanye asked.

"Hello, Mr. Han. I am an employee of the Black Sea and Red Sun Agency and currently serve as Jiang Feng's assistant."

"Oh, Jiang Feng's assistant. Well, let's sit down and have dinner together?" "No need, Mr. Han, I've already eaten at home." Li Xing smiled, poured the wine, and took the initiative to step aside.

"Haha... Jiang Feng, your assistant is quite interesting." Looking at Li Xing who took the initiative to step aside, Han Shanye shook his head and sighed, then started chatting about business with Jiang Feng and Wang Jinghua while eating.

"Jiang Feng, I asked you to come here today for three main reasons:
①, I'd like to treat you to a meal. Moon is good and we made money. You are the biggest contributor to our film and I must thank you.

②, let me explain the situation to you. I sold the exclusive distribution rights of the film "Moon" in Xiao Ri Zi to Dong Bao Co., Ltd. for 4000 million yen, which is 251 million yuan according to the current exchange rate; I sold the exclusive distribution rights of "Moon" in South Korea to CJ ENM for 3500 million won, which is 205 million yuan according to the exchange rate; "Moon" in Hong Kong Island was sold to Golden Harvest for 50 Hong Kong dollars; "Moon" in Formosa was priced at 200 million New Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 45 yuan; "Moon" in Southeast Asia, I sold all the distribution rights of the remaining countries to Singapore's MediaCorp Star Film Company for 170 million yuan..."

It can be seen that Han Shanye really came up with these results himself, otherwise he would not be so familiar with these data. He didn't even look at the information. He just talked about how much the exclusive distribution rights of the movie "Moon" sold in various places.

While Han Shanye was talking, Jiang Feng was silently calculating; when Han Shanye stopped, Jiang Feng had a result in his mind. In addition to the European and American markets, the movie "Moon" sold another 713 million RMB.

713 plus 3601…that’s 4314 million RMB.

Ha ha…

My buddy made a fortune.

You have to know that this is not the movie box office, this is real income. After deducting the production costs and the travel expenses of Han Shanye, his translator, assistants and team, 1/4 of the remaining money is his own.

Just as Jiang Feng was thinking happily, he saw Han Shanye speaking again.

"Jiang Feng, two more things:
① The movie "Moon" will not be shown in theaters in mainland China. It will be broadcast on the movie channel of the National Television Station. The specific broadcast time is 12 noon tomorrow. They gave me 10 yuan in copyright fees, but I didn't take it.

②After the Spring Festival, ask Sister Hua to hand over your bank account to the finance department of Beijing Film Studio. As soon as the bank opens, the money that belongs to you will be distributed to you immediately. "

"thanks, thanks!"

Jiang Feng was even happier now.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with Han Shanye's glass, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Because Han Shanye's words were very clear. No matter what others say, we will act according to the contract this time. I will give you all the money I deserve, and I will give it to you as soon as possible.

As for "Moon" being broadcast for free on the movie channel... then just broadcast it. After earning 1000 million RMB, I don't plan to keep the bicycle anymore.

Seeing Jiang Feng happy, Han Shanye was also very happy.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Looking at the entire Greater China region, last year, in 1998, the highest-grossing Chinese-language film was Storm Riders, which grossed HK$4153 million.

The actual revenue of our movie is higher than their total box office, and if we only talk about the revenue ratio, we are dozens of blocks ahead of them.

So, Jiang Feng, don't you plan to take advantage of the victory and film the "Oxygen Crisis" you mentioned? "

Speaking of this, Han Shanye smiled.

"Jiang Feng, don't worry.

I promise you, as long as I am in office, our cooperation model will be like this: China Film will invest, you will shoot, and we will take 75% of the profits, and you will take 25%? "

"Um…"

Jiang Feng stopped reaching for the hot pot with his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "Boss Han, generally speaking, the formats of Oxygen Crisis and Moon are similar. Foreigners who have seen Moon will probably not find Oxygen Crisis very new.

Well, Mr. Han, how about this? At the end of this year, I will make another new film. After the film is finished, we can sell it at the St. Denis Film Festival?"

"Oh..., tell me, what are we going to shoot this year?" Seeing Jiang Feng say this, Han Shanye immediately became interested.
