Chapter 48 I Can Also Get a 10,000 Yuan Per Film Salary?!
In the following days, the news that the (Kung Fu) film had cost seven lives became increasingly popular.
In modern terms, it meant dominating the trending topics for several days in a row.
This film isn't just about killing people; it's also a gimmick in Stephen Chow's new movie: when they encounter armed thugs ambushing them.
After drivers Ah Shun and Ah Lei retaliated, how will the case proceed? What will the verdict be?
The legal team used Skyworth's money to bail Ah Shun and the other man out.
The related lawsuits are still pending trial, which will ensure the continued popularity of (Kung Fu).
Under these circumstances, Sunan continued to invest and produce a series of post-production works.
He didn't return to Skyworth's headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui until the afternoon of May 16th, when he received an unexpected message.
At this moment, Rosamund Kwan is entertaining Li Jiaxin at Skyworth, along with Zhang Min and Xiang Shisan.
Lao Xiang and Zhang Min invited Rosamund Kwan to join the cast of "God of Gamblers II: The Shanghai Bund" as the female lead.
It was the same role originally played by Gong Li, and they offered Rosamund Kwan a salary of HK$100 million.
Is it expensive? It's clearly far above the market price.
In the past, Sister Guan earned between 200,000 and 500,000 yuan per project for both leading and supporting roles.
External companies pay less, while projects like Debao and Baohe pay more.
Including "Once Upon a Time in China," it was only after the role of Aunt Thirteen became a huge hit that the film's earnings soared to over 600,000 to 1 million per film in the following two years.
It only cost around 1.2 million for "Once Upon a Time in China III: The Lion King" at that time, while Jet Li was making 6 or 8 million for a movie.
The high price is the result of several efforts; her public image was indeed not good before.
Even if Sister Guan's (money laundering) in this dimension far exceeds the original results.
The film "The Tricky Master" was a box office hit, but it was Stephen Chow and Andy Lau who carried the box office.
(The prank) They gave HK$50 at the time, paying in full was already very impressive.
Ah Xing's several hundred thousand dollars per film is still tied up in the contract, while Andy Lau said that even with several million dollars, he can't always get the full payment.
The problem of defaulting on debts is common worldwide.
After offering Lao Xiang a cigarette in the meeting room, Su Nan smiled and asked, "Xiang Sheng, is there something else going on with giving Azhi such a high salary?"
When he returned, Rosamund Kwan took Li Jiaxin and Zhang Min to other places for tea and gatherings.
Xiang Shisan hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Brother Nan, please don't misunderstand. I heard that you recommended a good Hollywood script to Brother Long."
"If there's an opportunity in the future, we at Win's Entertainment can also do it; our conditions are no worse than Jackie Chan's."
"If the project is too large and Skyworth faces significant investment pressure on its own, you can count us in."
It's just exchanging money. The RMB might be hard to spend in the short term, but it's not a big deal.
As long as there's a chance for a major breakthrough, Yong Sheng sometimes doesn't lack tens of millions in cash flow.
The case that resulted in seven deaths and one serious injury was at its peak on the evening of the 6th.
It was only after these days of discussion that Win's Entertainment learned that Golden Harvest and Jackie Chan had gone to the United States to try to break into Hollywood for the third time.
No, that's not right either. This is Jackie Chan's third attempt, not Golden Harvest.
Golden Harvest previously invested $1200 million to produce (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), which grossed $2 million worldwide.
That was HK$16 billion at the box office. Golden Harvest shared revenue globally with companies like New Line Cinema in the US.
Who wouldn't covet such an opportunity to make so much money in one go?
In terms of cultivating such a mentorship relationship, Win's Entertainment's decision to offer Rosamund Kwan film contracts and pay her a fee is a trivial matter.
Chen Hong is not interested in scripts offered by outsiders, and will only consider them after (Kung Fu) has fully exploded.
Otherwise, Ah Hong would have had many more opportunities to take the job.
What do you think of Su Nan's judgment? Jackie Chan was so excited and thrilled after reading the script.
It is the best proof in itself. I heard it's a blockbuster movie about super cops saving people?
What a coincidence! The Police Story series, in which Ah Long plays a character, is exactly what he excels at.
The more Jackie Chan learned, the more he felt that he was a perfect match for (Speed), and he kept urging Ho Koon-cheung, Chow Sang and others to speed things up.
After the news spread, Xiang Shisan came to cause trouble.
When it comes to film development, this young man, Xiang, is far more capable than his tenth brother.
Of course, it's not that Yong Sheng would be willing to exchange tens of millions for any script that Su Nan randomly picks.
Xiang Shisan himself can judge the quality of a script, and Fei Jing also has certain abilities; they are capable of making judgments.
Hong Kong's film and television industry has not been completely destroyed by Hollywood, but the upper limits of the two have never been the same.
Among the blockbusters that have already been released, the Back to the Future trilogy grossed HK$73 billion worldwide.
Films like Star Wars, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Ghost often grossed HK$20 or 30 per film.
It is because of these factors that Golden Harvest and Jackie Chan have repeatedly made their way into Hollywood.
If Xiang Shisan, upon hearing the news, felt that taking a gamble might yield a high probability of success.
He is very willing to exchange tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for RMB.
This is probably why the development funds in southern Jiangsu were lacking in the early stages, which is why they were able to guide Chenglong.
Otherwise, Skyworth would definitely handle this kind of project itself.
Discussing global box office revenue sharing models is not easy, but if Golden Harvest succeeded once, they can give it a try.
By giving a few leading actresses roles and raising their salaries, Skyworth can quickly raise funds if it ever runs out of capital on its own.
Su Nan was both amused and exasperated. "These things depend on luck. For example, books like (Jurassic Park) were snatched up for adaptation by big companies before they were even finished."
Yong Sheng is also considering projects that could be explored in cooperation.
But there's no need to say so much during our first meeting; the gifts the Xiang family has given so far are still too few.
Even if he wanted to exchange RMB for HKD now, there isn't that much new surplus in mainland China.
Lao Xiang nodded, "There was indeed an element of luck involved; the first money exchange was if Brother Nan needed it."
"We can also provide a quota of HK$5000 million. If the cooperation goes well, we can discuss it further in the future."
Su Nan poured tea, "Zhizhi can play the female lead in 'Gambling Saint' on the Shanghai Bund, we'll talk about the future later."
Xiang Shisan reached out and laughed, "Thank you for the opportunity, Brother Nan. Besides the gambling saint on Shanghai Beach, I'll try to keep a few more of the other projects if I have the chance."
Win's Entertainment was already negotiating Ah Xing's contract with Lee Sau-yin.
There were many projects prepared, but he (the prank expert) only suppressed Wang Jing's desire to push Qiu Shuzhen.
It's not appropriate to continue the series of suppressions, otherwise (The Legend of Lui Lok, the Detective of Five Hundred Million) would also have to give up one.
It doesn't matter, the five hundred million detective will fulfill Fei Jing's wish.
They have a whole series of production plans, including several female lead or dual female lead projects, which will be released gradually.
The two chatted politely for a few more minutes before Su Nan saw Xiang Shisan and Zhang Min off.
Back in her office, Rosamund Kwan excitedly giggled as she reenacted a kissing scene in front of Li Jiaxin, saying, "I can get a million-dollar paycheck? That's too unbelievable."
But it was this inflated sense of vanity that made her so arrogant. Who doesn't have a little vanity?
If Jiaxin hadn't left yet, she would definitely be frantically pursuing further studies in import and export.
Su Nan, suppressing Guan Dajie's curiosity, looked at Li Jiaxin and asked, "Jiaxin, when did you two become friends?"
Yong Sheng Lao Xiang came over to discuss projects and future development.
Li Jiaxin??
Ah Xin smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Nan, I came to ask Sister Zhi about some trivial matters, but I didn't expect to witness some important events."
Rosamund Kwan's million-dollar film salary is quite exaggerated. The problem is that there are very few actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan who can earn a million!
Li Jiaxin, the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong, has acted in several films since her debut, and her film salary is generally HK$10.
Zhou Huimin also earns tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and her film agency contracts take a huge cut.
Rosamund Kwan laughed, "Ah Yan was just too free, and Siu-Hsien was too busy filming, so she came to visit me and we just chatted casually."
This statement is partly true and partly false. Li Jiaxin and she got to know each other after several encounters and conversations.
I felt the conversation went well. I came over today to ask her how much she had benefited from following Brother Nan.
The other party also complained that the Happy Valley house that Lau gave her was worth millions.
But with a contract stuck in Fang Yihua's hands, even Da Liu couldn't do much to help.
The wealthy outside the entertainment circle may have money, but they don't seem to have as much ability as the big shots inside.
This led to Rosamund Kwan's film salary jumping from three to five hundred thousand to millions!
After all, (Once Upon a Time in China) hasn't been released yet.
After witnessing Guan Dajie's doubled salary, Li Jiaxin genuinely felt that houses in Happy Valley were no longer appealing.
