Chapter 2268 The benefits of cooperation

Faced with Wang Jing's concession, Xiao Qi had no intention of being greedy.

He didn't know how popular Wang Jing's movie would be, but he just felt that it was rare for Hong Kong to have a good movie, so he had to take care of his own people.

Xiao Qi, the second male lead, is going to be given to the contracted male movie stars of Qiguo Film and Television, the female lead is going to be given to Song Jiejie or Du Feixing, and the third male lead is going to be given to Baoyu Group as a gift. As for the number one villain in the show, he is still

Prepare to leave it to Wang Jing.

In fact, Wang Jing does not suffer in this way. He decides on the male lead and the male villain. Xiao Qi is only responsible for investment. The director and producer are Wang Jing's shoulders, so he has great power.

Besides, Wang Jing has never been a person who wants to grab power. The biggest factor for him in making movies is to make money. As long as you can make him make money, he can make it happen even if you throw in a bunch of bad actors, not to mention Xiao Qi.

The cast will definitely be domestic first- and second-tier stars, which will only add luster to "Macau" and will not hinder it.

Sure enough, after Xiao Qi stated his request, Wang Jing immediately agreed.

Then Wang Jing said with a shy face: "Qi Shao, although my script has just come out, but with your support, I want to compete in this year's Lunar New Year movie. What do you think?"

Xiao Qi was stunned.

Wasn't this movie supposed to be shot in 2013 and released in 2014?

Why does Wang Jing want to take pictures now?

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Actually, I have had this idea in my mind for a long time. It can almost be regarded as one of the God of Gamblers series. However, the market was not good in the past few years, and it would be a waste to take it out, so I have never made a detailed plan." Wang Jing said with a smile.

, "But the year before last, "If You Are the One", last year's "If You Are the One 2", this year's "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", etc., all had a box office of more than 200 to 300 million yuan. I feel that the market in the mainland has fully improved now.

I can use it to maximize profits, so I came to find you, Mr. Qi."

So that’s it!

Xiao Qi's thoughts suddenly became clear.

In his previous life, 2010's Avatar, 2011's Transformers, 2012's Lost in Thailand, 2013's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons... all directly exceeded 1 billion in box office, so Wang Jing knew that the time had come, and took advantage of the situation to launch a movie starring Zhou Yunfa.

"Macau Storm" wants to take a share of the already popular mainland market.

Unexpectedly, because of himself, especially the 600 million box office record of "If You Are the One 2", Wang Jing was tempted to release "Macau Storm" in advance, but it was reasonable.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qi asked thoughtfully, "What budget do you want?"

Wang Jing chuckled, "My 50 million or 60 million won't be too little, and my 80 million or 90 million won't be too much. You can give it as you see fit."

"Then 90 million!" Xiao Qi waved his hand and said

"Great!" Wang Jing was overjoyed. He looked at Xiao Qi who was indifferent and said, "The main reason is that Zhou Runfa's salary is relatively high. He needs 20 million. The budget of 90 million is more than I imagined, but

Then I can shoot more carefully and strive for the best effect."

"Isn't his market price 30 million?" Xiao Qi asked with some gossip.

"Nonsense, who can afford more than 30 million to hire him? He won't go to Hollywood and think that every film he makes must comply with Hollywood standards. Otherwise, why not go to Hollywood and return to Hong Kong?" Wang

Jing laughed and said, "Those of us who are experienced in the industry know this, so we never use his peak price to pay him, just a reasonable base price. Only the wealthy people in the mainland will spend money randomly!"

Xiao Qi nodded. In the past few years, the mainland has often offered high salaries to Hong Kong superstars to star in movies. However, after taking the money, they still accuse the mainland actors of being unprofessional.

Among them are the reasons why these movie stars are not compatible with the mainland and they are not used to it, and there are also reasons why the mainland boss feels that "I am rich and I am the boss, so you should listen to me", which leads to unhappiness between the two parties.

"That's what I say, but few people can afford him now." Wang Jing sighed, "Chen Long only makes his own movies, and Xingzi can't think of many movies at all. Nowadays

I am even more cautious. Only Chow Yun-fat will act in your film if it is suitable and the price is right. But not everyone can give you 20 million. If I can have a movie with enough budget to hire him in two or three years, I will be thankful."

"Where's Dehua? Where's Chaowei?" Xiao Qi asked about these two kings.

"Dehua's acting skills are not good, and the entertainment effect is not good. He prefers glamorous and positive roles. He rarely accepts shitty movies like mine, and many of us are not suitable." Wang Jing said eloquently.

, "Chaowei is really good. Like Zhou Runfa, he can be decent if he wants to be decent, and he can be mean if he wants to be. But he prefers to take on some literary films and doesn't like my commercial films very much."

Xiao Qi nodded and asked: "Master Jing, how much share do you usually get?"

Wang Jing's little eyes rolled, "I will accept whatever you give me, Mr. Qi."

Xiao Qi waved his hand, "I don't understand the situation in the film industry, so you should tell me."

Wang Jing said cautiously: "If it's a small production, I usually get a fixed remuneration. But if it's a big production, I get 5-8 percent of the total box office."

"Okay, let's go with 8!" Xiao Qi said cheerfully: "Next, I will ask TVB and Kiwi Pictures to contact you, and we will discuss the details."

"Thank you Mr. Qi!"

Wang Jing laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

He and Wang Jing are definitely making money when they make movies, it's just a question of how much they make.

Now that he has a good film, Zhou Runfa has joined the cast, and he has the full support of the Kiwi Cinema Line. Xiao Qi has also agreed to go to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to help smoothen the relationship. It's no wonder he doesn't make a lot of money!

Based on the minimum box office of 200 million, he can also get 16 million. If he is lucky, he can get more than 30 million!

The most critical benefit is not just this "Macau Storm", but that I have successfully established a relationship with Xiao Qi. As long as I find Xiao Qi for investment in the future, it will definitely be better than being trapped in a small fish pond like Hong Kong.

Much more!

As long as you can enter the mainland film market, who can be better than you when it comes to making commercial films?

"Master Jing, I think our cooperation is not limited to "Macau Storm"." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "You can pay attention to find good books. You can look for them here in Hong Kong. Whether they are written by you or found.

As long as you think it’s suitable for other people, you can show it to me! If it’s suitable, we can take pictures of them all.”

"Is there any amount?" Wang Jing asked with a smile.

"As long as it's a good book, as long as you have the time and energy to make it, then it's fine." Xiao Qi said, "You don't doubt my financial resources or my influence in the film industry, right?"

"good!"

Wang Jing patted his thigh and said, "Qi Shao, you are so generous! I'm not bragging. As long as it's not too difficult, I can shoot one in two months! If it's a simple comedy, there's no problem in a month!"

"We don't make low-cost productions." Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "The star doesn't have to be big, but the script must be excellent and the shooting must be precise, so that it can be popular in the mainland... Those comedies that are illogical have long been

Then we won’t be able to become popular in the mainland.”

"I understand that I have a lot of experience in how to please the audience. I didn't count on the mainland market before, but now I specialize in making films for the mainland market. I will control the scale very well!" Wang Jing patted his chest and said,

He couldn't give in in front of the big benefactor.

"That's good! As long as Mr. Jing can do as he did in movies like God of Gamblers, Truant Dragon, The Deer and the Cauldron, Hong Xiguan...etc., I have to congratulate you in advance on making more than 100 million yuan a year!" Xiao Qixiao

He said.

"Haha, if I can make so much money in the future, I have to thank you for your support, Mr. Qi!" Wang Jing smiled so hard that his fat face almost bloomed into a flower.

Not only was Wang Jing very happy, Xiao Qi, who sent Wang Jing out, also had a smile on his face when he came back.

Wang Jing is a very contradictory person. He can make exciting hero movies, such as God of Gamblers, hilarious movies, salty movies, and shitty fast food movies...

...Except for the literary films that he doesn’t make, he can make them look good for you if you ask him for any other films.

But if you look at it over the past few decades, Wang Jing is definitely a business wizard who is good at making movies and TV series.

Kiwi Pictures currently lacks a director with enough weight. Although Wang Jing has his own company, if he can often cooperate with Kiwi Pictures, it will be of great benefit to improve the profitability of Kiwi Pictures.

.

For ordinary directors, making one movie a year is a high productivity, but for Wang Jing, as long as you give him enough funds and talents, he can make five or six movies a year, which is just like playing.

As long as he makes three movies a year with Kiwi Pictures, plus a few more movies made by other directors, that's enough for the moment.

Even Wang Jing is very good at filming TV series, with fast speed and good quality. Letting him shoot a TV series for Kiwi Film and Television Company every year is also a good opportunity to increase Kiwi's influence!

Let’s talk about tvb, this is also Xiao Qi’s wife’s industry. In cooperation with the mainland, Wang Jing is constantly letting TVB stars appear in the mainland film market, which will increase their fame and give them more exposure in the mainland.

There are many opportunities to make movies and TV series - their agency contracts are all with TVB, TVB has made them famous, and they can get dividends from their acting remuneration.

It’s not just about dividends. The more TVB stars go out, the more influential they will be, and more Hong Kong stars will be inclined to cooperate with TVB. Isn’t this good?

With an excellent director like Wang Jing joining forces, both companies can make rapid progress! r1152
