Chapter 1430 Special Guests
Like "Black Leather Notes", in early December, the "Gold Victory", which was filmed intermittently for several years, finally tried to suffer and successfully killed the youth.
To say that the second big film of the fogmine studio is really burning money.
Originally Ning Weimin believed that there was clothing sponsorship of St. Roland and Pilkaton.
And the wedding part of the big scene at the beginning of the movie is to shoot in Yunyuan through the convenience of the marriage of himself and Qingzi.
These two convenient conditions can really save a large amount of money.
Therefore, it should be enough for his estimation to make this movie almost 1.5 billion yen.
The remaining 500 million budget parts can be reimbursed for expenditure for Matsumoto Takuko, and revenue reduced taxes, allowing them to occupy the benefits of the Japanese government, and can also drop a lot of luxury goods for filming.
However, I did not expect that Singapore had troubled the sugar king family to hinder the filming of movies, which led to scrapped many films that had been filmed. They could only change the place to re -shoot.
Whether it is France or Japan, it is a place where high consumption is high. As long as you make movies in these two places, what costs are high.
In addition, the actor's working cycle is also forced to postpone this accident. Many lenses need to be re -shot, which will inevitably increase travel, accommodation and additional remuneration.
This has led to a huge increase in production costs, almost doubled than expected.
In fact, after the film was killed, not only the production cost exceeded the original 200 billion yen budget, but even took 300 million yen.
Make this film really becoming a large production fee of more than $ 20 million, which is a nightmare for production costs, absolute failure cases.
However, it is also necessary to say that there is no money to spend. After the film is cut, the effect is really good.
The rhythm of the plot is not delayed. Cinderella finds that her boyfriend is actually a wealthy plot. Especially the strong national style aesthetics and the traditional Chinese values of the Chinese are rare.
Although it is a romantic comedy style, it is not vulgar at all, and it is significantly different from the kind of ugly shit and urine routine of Hong Kong films.
In addition to the romance, this film is actually very artistic. In fact, it is much better than the original version of "Gold Victory" in Ning Weimin's impression.
This made Ning Weimin not only surprising, but also looking at Dazefeng, and felt that the candidates recommended by Kurosawa were really unusual.
In addition, Teresa Teng's song played the finishing touch in the film as a soundtrack, and fully realized the perfect fit of the song and the content of the film.
Especially in this era, the concept of MTV has just been born, and the first -generation MTV works are still rough.
Even the American Michael Jackson has just released "Study" shortly, and his movie "The Moon Walkman" has not yet been released.
Therefore, as a gorgeous music movie tailored after the Asian song specifically for Teresa Teng, "Golden Picks" is undoubtedly the forefront of the times in terms of concept.
So no matter what, Ning Weimin does not think that this movie may have a box office failure, and he does not worry about the actual cost of the film.
In fact, his attitude is quite positive, not only to allow Matsumoto Prefecture and Matsuya to reflect as much as possible on the number of screens as possible, but also allows the Taurus Palace to prepare the original sound album of the movie based on one million.
Even at all, he has increased investment.
In addition to letting Daze Feng cut out a piece of flowers, he is ready to play GG in TBS, and at the same time, he also gives the Ministry of Okamoto to add 300 million yen funds to make later publicity for the film.
In short, he fully determined that the film will be hot.
It will not only make the foggy studios earn a lot of money again, let Teresa Teng wash her shame of "box office poison" in one fell swoop, but also sells at least one million platinum in the Asian field to let the Taurus Palace win.
Unfortunately, this movie is released on Valentine's Day next year. You can't immediately verify the final score of the film.
After all, you have to pick a better schedule for the maximum benefits, and you can only wait for it.
But it doesn't matter. At least Ning Weimin now has a yacht sent by Nomura Securities, and can also hold a gorgeous Tokyo Bay Celebration Meeting on the yacht on the yacht.
By the way, you can also celebrate Teresa Teng's theme song "Please Don't Lee" with the theme song of "Li Xianglan", and once again won the award of the All -in -Japan Wired Broadcasting Awards.
This is a prize that there is no way to manipulate, all voted by Japanese audiences.
It can be said that Teresa Teng really broke the original historical record with its strength.
Therefore, as the main contributor and beneficiary of this matter, Ning Weimin is not only very happy, but also has a sense of accomplishment.
As soon as he was happy, he really didn't care about money. He almost showed up with the plot of the movie. Finally, he also tried a feeling of no matter how much he was.
However, absurdity is absurd, but others cannot blame him.
For nothing else, because of this celebration, he not only eats, drink and play, but also has a few important things by the way.
Dare to be a Chinese person through Liang Jiahui. Ning Weimin also took Xingyi Cheng's Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng couple, and action guidance Yuan Heping as a special guest invitation to participate in the celebration meeting together.
After two days of banquets and consultations, they reached friendly cooperation agreements with them.
For Xu Ke and Shi Nan Sheng, Ning Weimin and them talked about the cooperation of film copyright.
Given the popularity of "A Chinese Ghost Story" this year, Ning Weimin offered to buy the movie and the sequel they were currently planning for a flat price of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Ning Weimin was interested in the rights of the public screening and distribution of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series in Japan, Europe and the mainland of the Republic of China, as well as the copyright of audio-visual products.
This deal naturally surprised Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng.
After all, they only spent more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars on making "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the Hong Kong box office had already earned 18.83 million Hong Kong dollars, which was already a huge profit.
However, they never expected that they could get more money from Ning Weimin.
Xinyicheng itself does not have many overseas distribution resources. Even if it is sold to Japanese film companies, it has always only received 3 or 4 million Hong Kong dollars at most.
Don't even think about Europe. No one in Hong Kong can get through the Western market except Golden Harvest.
There is nothing to regret about the mainland market.
Although it is a market of one billion people, movie tickets in the mainland are too cheap after all.
Moreover, in the current situation in the mainland, such ghost films are not allowed to be shown publicly, which is called promoting superstition.
Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng did not believe that Ning Weimin could publicly show "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the mainland.
So Ning Weimin gave him 30 million yuan, and the sequel was booked in advance, which made Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng very happy.
Not to mention the double profit, this money can also ensure that the sequel will only make money and not lose money.
In addition, there is the possibility of continuing cooperation in the future, how can Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng not be happy?
Especially Shi Nansheng, in his heart, he still thinks that Ning Weimin, a mainlander, does not understand the market and is a sucker who fell from the sky.
So the couple sold the film very happily, and naturally they wanted it.
The two happily signed the contract and took the check away.
As for Yuan Heping, although he has become famous in Southeast Asia and Japan because he has worked as an action director for Jackie Chan in two movies.
But action director is not a rich and comfortable profession in the Hong Kong film circle.
Moreover, his current status is not the "No. 1 Martial Arts Director", nor is he the "Eighth Master" respected by everyone in the circle, so it is even more difficult for him to resist the price offered by Ning Weimin - one million Hong Kong dollars.
This is catching up with the leading actor of a first-line actor, okay?
No action director in Hong Kong has ever received this price.
What's more, Yuan Heping is originally from Beijing, and Ning Weimin is very polite to him and fully respects his profession.
So the two fellow countrymen are quite close when they meet in a foreign place.
Yuan Heping feels that Ning Weimin has met his mentor, and is happy to make a name for himself in Japan to increase his qualifications, so he readily agreed to return to Japan in March next year to serve as the action director for Miura Tomokazu and Teresa Teng's movie "The Bodyguard" next year.
In this way, Ning Weimin has begun to substantially try to combine the production advantages of Hong Kong and Japanese films, and has begun to try to make money for himself in the Japanese film market by buying out excellent Hong Kong films, and by the way, accumulate film libraries for the future streaming media era.
Although he himself was not sure that this path would work, based on his understanding of the outside world, the probability of success was not low.
In the long run, it was indeed worth a try, and it must be tried.
What if the effect was good?
Ning Weimin, who already knew in advance that Hollywood blockbusters would inevitably flood into the Asian market with special effects technology in the near future, naturally hoped that by then, Fog Studio and even Chinese-language films would have more self-protection and more means of checks and balances.
If he could add some trouble to the American devils, it would also be what he wanted.
In addition to these cultural harvests, the last thing worth mentioning at the end of 1987 was probably the trolley suitcase sales represented by Ning Weimin and the parking lot sales he and Axia cooperated on.
In fact, since the day when the trolley suitcase patent was sold, the sales of Ning Weimin's three self-owned brands of trolley suitcases would inevitably begin to decline. There was nothing he could do about it.
After all, such a large market could not be enjoyed by one company alone for a long time.
Moreover, in order to get several years of profits in advance and develop themselves faster, the price that must be paid is that the sales of the independent brand will decline due to competition.
He has even predicted in advance that as the trolley suitcases become more and more common, customers can choose from more and more brands, and the basis of his cooperation with Yamato Tourism is gradually collapsing.
So for this reason, all he can do is to establish his own logistics company or department as soon as possible, and then gradually transfer the sales of trolley suitcases to the postal shopping platform.
As for the cooperation with Yamato Tourism, he will not give up and will try his best to maintain it.
But objectively speaking, without the lucrative interests as a glue, their future relationship will definitely not be better than it is now.
In the future, I am afraid that they can only use the wine agency of the French LVMH Group as a medium, or jointly develop tourist routes in the French resort of Saint-Tropez with it as an opportunity.
However, unlike the decline of the trolley suitcase business, the prosperity of the parking lot industry is also extremely exaggerated, which greatly exceeded the expectations of Ning Weimin and Axia.
It turns out that in the year when the bubble economy was at its peak, with the rocket-like increase in consumer purchasing power, the development of the automobile manufacturing industry was also booming.
Cars can be seen everywhere in the lives of ordinary people.
These cost-effective, new, family-friendly, and luxury models emerge in endlessly, tearing a hole in the monopoly of American vehicles.
Especially at the end of the year, whether it is because of the strong stock market and property market, or because of the year-end bonus, Tokyo's car sales have increased significantly.
At the same time, people are more keen to use their own private cars for travel at the end of the year.
As a result, due to the continuous surge in vehicles, insufficient parking supply, and the lack of established laws such as garage laws, the entire Tokyo car is stagnant, and no planning is effective. Tokyo has become the most congested city in Asia.
According to a news investigation program of NHK, at about 11 o'clock in the morning on a certain day, Tokyo had more than 230,000 cars parked on the road in an instant, of which 200,000 were illegally parked, with an illegal parking rate of 88.6%, and the number of accidents with vehicles parked on the road continued to increase.
In this case, the parking lot cooperated by Ning Weimin and Axia ushered in the happy moment of almost full parking spaces every day.
They adjusted the parking fee for the month upwards, and the profit increased by almost 60%. If we add the happiness of Tokyo's land prices soaring again at the end of the year, Axia no longer cares about the little profit she lost in the stock market not long ago.
Moreover, the current stock market has improved again, and her losses have been compensated a lot, so there is nothing to complain about.
Axia even followed Ning Weimin's advice. Taking advantage of the fact that Hongcheng suffered heavy losses due to "Black Monday", she began to try to contact Hongcheng and spared no expense to rescue Mr. Hong who was in prison.
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin was right about this matter.
Perhaps it was because Mr. Hong's case had been a few years ago, and the British who hated him no longer paid attention to him.
Perhaps it was also because the people in Hongcheng were cheated so badly this time, and the market was so sluggish that they wanted to sell blood to recover their losses.
There were really big lawyers who dared to risk offending the British and were willing to help smooth the judicial relationship to rescue people. It was no longer like the first few years when everyone avoided them.
Although the offer was not low, the other party wanted one million US dollars first, and then another two million US dollars after the deal was done. In addition, Axia needed to pay one million US dollars to smooth the relationship with the court.
But the other party was a well-known lawyer in the legal community after all, and he also made a bold statement that he could guarantee that Mr. Hong's sentence would be reduced by at least ten years, which still made Axia think.
So after discussing with Ning Weimin, Axia took out part of the profits from the parking lot and divided them in advance, and paid the one million US dollars to the lawyer as agreed.
In this way, Mr. Hong, who had 14K, soon met the lawyer in prison, and was surprised to learn that he had the possibility of being released from prison early and reuniting with his daughter.
For him, although he had been locked up for the past few years, he perfectly avoided the opportunity to make a fortune in the bubble economy.
But even so, he was very happy and looking forward to suddenly finding that Axia was actually trying her best to rescue him. This kind of joy is simply not comparable to making a few "small goals".
In fact, there are many things in this world that are more valuable than money, but unfortunately, only a few people in special situations can understand this truth.
