Chapter 79 Great Wall Films "Cough cough!" Liu Hongmin looked at Lan Jieying in surprise, "You are talking about..." Lan Jieying immediately hugged Liu Hongmin's arm and said, "I think it's fine to call you brother. You can't let me call you Mr. Liu all the time, right?" Cha Jianying felt mixed emotions. She didn't want to break up with Liu Hongmin. But she knew Liu Hongmin. He must have resentment in his heart because of what his parents did to him. Even for her, Liu Hongmin had a grudge in his heart, so it was impossible for the two of them to be together. Being able to be friends is already Liu Hongmin's greatest tolerance. Liu Hongmin looked at Lan Jieying, wondering what kind of mess this girl was thinking about. Lan Jieying blinked quietly. She just wanted to help Liu Hongmin. In her opinion, to deal with the ex-girlfriend, she had to find a better current girlfriend. But she didn't know that Liu Hongmin didn't need to deal with his ex-girlfriend. He just said that even if they couldn't be lovers, they could still be friends. Now that Lan Jieying had done this, Liu Hongmin really couldn't talk to Cha Jianying properly. Cha Jianying took out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines of English on it. "I'm leaving first. This is my contact address in the United States. Please write to me when you have time."
Lan Jieying took the address first, "Sister, won't you sit for a while? We can have morning tea together." "You guys eat, I won't bother you anymore!" Cha Jianying forced a smile, turned and walked out of the breakfast shop. "Everyone has left, let him go!" Liu Hongmin said speechlessly. Women are really fickle creatures. How old is Lan Jieying? He can actually say such tea words. Lan Jieying quickly let go of Liu Hongmin's arm and asked, "Mr. Liu, how was my performance just now?" Liu Hongmin forced a smile and said, "Haha, let's eat!" Lan Jieying saw that Liu Hongmin was a little unhappy, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she had to lower her head and eat. After finishing the meal, Liu Hongmin said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." He went upstairs to the office and brought down an iron box. He called a taxi, but before he got in, Lan Jieying ran over. "Mr. Liu." "You haven't left yet?" Liu Hongmin moved inside. "Come up! I'll give you a ride." Lan Jieying got in the car and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry! Mr. Liu, I just acted on my own initiative." "It's okay." Liu Hongmin asked, "Where do you live?" Lan Jieying did not answer, but said: "Mr. Liu, are you going to do something? I can be your guide and help you move things." "Need not!" "I don't have anything to do anyway, so just consider it my apology for what happened just now." "Where are you two going?" The driver was getting impatient and started to urge. Liu Hongmin had no choice but to report his destination, "Great Wall Film and Television Company." Lan Jieying sat up straight with pride. She could see that Liu Hongmin was easy to talk to. She had no bad intentions, she just wanted to get in touch with Liu Hongmin more. As long as she could make friends with Liu Hongmin, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to act in a play in the future.
Soon, they arrived at the Great Wall Film and Television Company. Lan Jieying was very discerning and wanted to pay the fare, but was stopped by Liu Hongmin, "I'll do it!" Lan Jieying did not argue, but picked up the iron box. But she tried to lift it, but she almost failed. "What's in this?" "Movie film." Liu Hongmin brought the iron box over and said, "Just follow me for a while, don't say anything." Lan Jieying made an OK gesture and followed Liu Hongmin. After entering the Great Wall Film and Television Company, Liu Hongmin soon met the boss of Great Wall. "Brother Liu, I've always heard of your name before, but I didn't expect to see you in person today." Lan Jieying looked at Liu Hongmin in surprise. Is he famous? Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Brother Zong, we are half fellow villagers." He Renzong glanced at the confused Lan Jieying and nodded to Liu Hongmin. He was also from the mainland and was sent to Hong Kong by the country to guard the cultural front of Hong Kong. "Xiaoming has already told me, let's go to the theater and watch the movie first." "it is good!" The three of them went to the theater, and Liu Hongmin handed the copy to the projectionist. After a while, the film began to play. Lan Jieying stared at the screen. Because her family was poor, she rarely watched movies before. Now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to watch it carefully. "The Last Military Expenditure of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty", this name is a bit strange! After more than an hour, the film ended. He Renzong clapped his hands and said, "It's really good. It's worthy of being a good movie that can earn hundreds of millions of box office in the mainland." Hundreds of millions in box office? Lan Jieying was very surprised. Although she thought the movie was good, the box office was too scary. Liu Hongmin spread his hands and said, "It's all rumors from outside. No one knows if it's not over 100 million. The way movies are shown in the mainland is different, so it's difficult to calculate the specific box office." "Because it is difficult to calculate, the box office will only be higher, definitely over 100 million." He Renzong changed the subject and said, "However, the box office of this movie in Hong Kong will not be too high." "It doesn't matter." Liu Hongmin said, "I just want to use it to accumulate experience in the film industry. I have already talked to China Film Group and I have bought the distribution rights of this film in Hong Kong." He Renzong asked in surprise: "Brother Liu, do you want to develop in the Hong Kong film industry?" Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "I just earned some royalties. Brother Zong, you also know that the Hong Kong dollar is not strong enough now. Instead of keeping it in your hands and letting it depreciate, it is better to invest it. As long as it can withstand the speed of depreciation, I will be satisfied." He Renzong expressed his understanding, but still reminded: "The film industry is not so fun, there are many tricks in it." Liu Hongmin nodded, "I know, so I won't rush in before I find the right person." The two discussed the film's revenue sharing, and He Renzong gave him 10% of the box office copyright fee. Don't think it's too little. As a distributor, Great Wall Films needs to invest a lot of distribution fees to get about half of the box office share. According to the practice of Hong Kong films, the film company takes 60% in the first week, half in the second week, and 40% in the third week. Liu Hongmin was not greedy. He wanted to run this movie just to explore the Hong Kong film industry. He would definitely suffer a loss at the beginning. If he changed to another company, he would probably be more ruthless than He Renzong in lowering the price. This is the money to buy the admission ticket, which must be spent. "Brother Zong, we have a pleasant cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" The Great Wall Film Company will take care of the film copying, and Liu Hongmin does not need to participate in the rest. Liu Hongmin originally wanted to invite He Renzong to lunch, but He Renzong was negotiating a merger with Xinlian, and the release of "The Last Military Expenditure of the Tang Dynasty Anxi Army" was for Xu Xiaoming's sake.
