Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 140, "My 1919," is now complete!

Tang Jinshan soon found out how Zhang Ziyi was celebrating for him.

He was still very touched to see her bowing her head so attentively.

However, this is not enough.

He suddenly had an idea.

It's time to show her the luxurious life her classmate lives.

Only through comparison can we have the motivation to make progress.

When Tang Jinshan brought Zhang Ziyi to the presidential suite, the two of them were stunned.

"Ziyi, you—"

When Zeng Li met her classmates, her eyes were filled with astonishment.

Didn't Zhang Ziyi just film a movie with Zhang Yimou?

There are still a lot of rumors circulating, with some even comparing her to Gong Li.

Unexpectedly, she also got involved with Tang Jinshan!

"Zeng Li?"

Zhang Ziyi was also extremely surprised.

And this incredibly luxurious presidential suite in front of us—is this where she lives now?

No wonder I haven't seen her lately, turns out she's been kept in a gilded cage!

How did she manage to hook up with Tang Jinshan?

This student from the Manchu ethnic group is usually very arrogant, but now he's just someone else's plaything.

Bah! You bitch!

However, she became even more wary.

To be fair, Zeng Li is much prettier than her!

And the sense of conquest that a man with a different race's bloodline brings goes without saying!

Didn't you see that Tang Jinshan is keeping her in this presidential suite?

Zeng Li was equally wary.

As classmates, Zhang Ziyi quickly found herself working with top director Zhang Yimou, becoming another lucky one after Gong Li.

Now, with the backing of Tang Jinshan, a wealthy and powerful patron, their future is even more limitless.

As for himself, Tang Jinshan has been playing him for so long, and now he's only signed with his company and is playing a minor supporting role in "The Legend of the Mermaid".

She was still her senior sister Sun Li's maid.

Of course, she was also aware that her relationship with Tang Jinshan was a separate transaction.

These are all extra gifts.

But who isn't greedy and doesn't want more?

Especially in front of someone like Zhang Ziyi, she certainly wouldn't admit defeat.

What's more, I've given so much!

Tang Jinshan was very dissatisfied with the fact that the two of them had their own ulterior motives.

How come there's such a tense atmosphere between these two classmates who have been friends for years?

Harmony and friendship are the themes of the new century.

He decided to help them build a great ship of friendship.

Let them weather the storm together and work together with one heart.

To this end, he took drugs directly and performed miraculous results.

I won't feel bad about standing up and kicking anyway.

Zeng Li and Zhang Ziyi never imagined that they would have such a day as classmates.

However, in the midst of the raging storm, they had long since lost the space to think.

They even repeatedly hoped for the other party's help.

The friendship that has soured has become even stronger.

However, Tang Jinshan wanted to see more than just that.

What he wanted to see was them revealing their most authentic selves to each other.

Become best friends with no secrets.

In front of Zhang Ziyi, Tang Jinshan took Zeng Li hiking.

This made her instantly feel ashamed and indignant, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

You bastard!

Zhang Ziyi was completely dumbfounded.

Zeng Li, this classmate from another ethnic group who is usually proud and arrogant, is just as eloquent as I am.

She actually—

What a shameless bitch!

However, she soon found herself no longer a mere spectator, but rather filled with dread.

The same disaster befell her!

Zeng Li even set an example by aiding and abetting the evildoers.

That bitch got herself into trouble!

After two days of fun, Tang Jinshan took a break and went to China Film Group.

Han Shanping, Zhang Pimin, and others approached him to discuss matters related to the film.

When I arrived at China Film Group, I found a bunch of people there, including Han Shanping, Zhang Pimin, Huang Jianzhong, and Chen Daoming.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, you've lost money again."

Zhang Pimin, the director of Xi'an Film Studio, had a look of satisfaction on his face.

"My 1919" was taken off the screens during the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

The box office was over 1800 million.

Many of these events were booked by organizations and state-owned enterprises.

However, 500 million yuan was spent on advertising and copying across the country.

This is also why the box office was much higher than originally expected.

In addition, as a patriotic education film, the movie will also be shown to various organizations and schools.

This is free.

At most, the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Finance will allocate a sum of money to compensate.

Selling the copyright to movie channels and other TV stations, on the other hand, can recoup some money.

Overseas, these patriotic films have no market whatsoever.

Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are completely unwanted.

They basically rely entirely on the mainland.

《我的1919》总成本4000万+500万，却只换来1800万的票房和差不多800万的版权收入，直接亏了个底朝天！

"Being able to contribute to domestic films is nothing if we lose a little money, especially since this is a tribute film. It's an honor to be able to participate."

Tang Jinshan simply waved his hand.

He had said long ago that he didn't care about box office revenue, but was interested in participating.

"I've called you here today, Mr. Tang, to discuss something else. You funded the entire film production yourself; in fact, the higher authorities provided over 1000 million yuan in funding, plus government subsidies, awards, and prizes for major themes, totaling approximately 1500 million yuan."

"Ten thousand, I'll transfer this money to you as compensation."

Zhang Pimin said.

A portion of the 5% film special fund deducted from box office revenue is used in these areas.

"No need, I don't care about the box office revenue since I've already invested."

Tang Jinshan waved his hands even more vigorously.

Isn't this harming him?

I was trying to help him out of kindness, how could he stab me in the back?

"How can we let you keep suffering losses, Mr. Tang?"

"The Birth of a Warrior" is also about to be taken off the screens, and its box office performance is much worse than that of "My 1919", with only a little over five million.

The film that followed, "The Selfless New Youth," has also been released, but its box office performance has been poor.

Tang Jinshan's investment of over 100 million yuan has basically gone down the drain.

They have been unable to eat or sleep properly during this period.

It was a struggle to scrape together some money to make up for his losses.

"How about this, I won't take this money. I'll leave it in your factory as my next investment. Your film studio undertakes so many production tasks, it must need a lot of funds."

Tang Jinshan said.

He has no way of accepting the money.

Now we can achieve two goals at once, and if we lose money again, we can get it back.

perfect!

"Ah? Mr. Tang?"

The group of people were stunned.

Standing behind, Chen Daoming looked at Tang Jinshan with a complex expression.

This person truly doesn't value money.

As the director, Huang Jianzhong was filled with mixed emotions.

Even at this very moment, an immoral thought pops into my head.

If Xi'an Film Studio had kept the money, could he have tried to negotiate for it?

"It's settled then. I'm sure you need this money more than I do, so we should use it wisely."

Tang Jinshan said with righteous indignation.

"General Tang is truly righteous!"

"This is the true spirit of Chinese youth!"

"Mr. Tang, thank you so much!"

Zhang Pimin held Tang Jinshan's hands tightly, so moved he almost cried.

I tried to find ways to compensate him, but he kept thinking about the difficulties his factory was facing.

Perhaps this is what it means to exchange sincerity for sincerity?

This feels so good!

If there hadn't been so many people, he would have kowtowed to Tang Jinshan.

The matter has been resolved satisfactorily, and the settlement for "My 1919" can now proceed.

4500万的成本，票房收入加版权收入1864*0.32+820万=1416万。

In addition, DVD rights from mainland China and Southeast Asia are also routinely bundled together.

DVD copyrights in mainland China are worthless. Now that movies have been out for so long, piracy is rampant. Who would still buy the original?

Even if everything is packaged together, it will only cost 300 million.

Total losses amounted to a staggering 2784 million!

For a tribute film spearheaded by Xi'an Film Studio, of course, they went all out, spending every penny wisely.

Without a doubt, the system rated it as Grade A, and the money was returned tenfold.

Nearly 300 million yuan came in instantly!

Finally, I'm living a life of wealth again!

Mainstream themes are great! Mainstream themes should be filmed!

Tang Jinshan usually gives money to others, but now he finally gets to experience the thrill of making 300 million!

cool!
