Chapter 464 You have to learn from Yimou(3/3)
The box office revenue attributed to producers such as Golden Harvest, Xu's, Lam's, and New Kunlun was HK$28.95 million.
In total, the total after-tax income of "The Truman Show" reached an astonishing HK$100 million.
"The Truman Show" has four producers, but Golden Harvest monopolizes most of the revenue because they are not only the producer, but also distribute the film.
Lin Chaoyang originally invested in the script and received 10% of the income. In the end, Lin's Pictures' after-tax income exceeded HK$10 million.
This figure does not appear to be much compared to Golden Harvest's income, but movies are a business, and it is impossible for you to get all the benefits just by getting a good script.
Whether it's "The Truman Show" or "A Better Tomorrow," the most important role is to help Lam Pictures gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry.
Looking at it now, just one "The Truman Show" has exceeded the task.
After Tao Yushu returned to Xiangjiang, Jiahe happily settled the profits of Lin's Pictures. Zou Wenhuai also chatted with Tao Yushu about the next cooperation.
In fact, not only Jiahe, but also Xu Guanwen and Li Hanxiang are looking forward to a second cooperation with Lam Pictures.
However, the premise must be that Lin Chaoyang personally writes the script, but obviously this condition cannot be met at present.
Tao Yushu did not reject Jiahe directly. After all, they are now the dominant player in the Hong Kong film market, handling both production and distribution. Since they have a good start in cooperation, they must try their best to maintain the relationship.
She just said that Lin Chaoyang was writing new works for the time being and had no time to worry about movies.
After Jiahe's income arrived, Tao Yushu looked at the eight-digit working capital in the company's account and was filled with joy.
With this considerable amount of funds, Lin's Pictures can finally recruit more and more people.
After a busy day's work, Tao Yushu called Tao Yumo. As expected, she was at the New World Apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui at this time.
The New World Apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui is now a gathering place for many female celebrities in Hong Kong. Maggie Cheung has already bought an apartment here after making money.
The area is not large, more than 500 square meters, less than 60 square meters, which is very suitable for single nobles.
Since the couple left Xiangjiang, Tao Yumo spent most of his time with Maggie Cheung in addition to hanging around the company and the crew.
You can use "the train runs on the tracks" to describe the state of the two of them when they are together - shopping and eating.
"Have you gained weight again?"
As soon as they met, Tao Yushu asked Tao Yumo.
"Not fat." Tao Yumo said with firm eyes.
Tao Yushu looked at Maggie Cheung again, and she immediately wanted to get close to her, "Sister Yushu, when did you come back?"
"I just came back two days ago."
Tao Yushu's eyes took another look at the environment in the apartment. There was essentially no difference between a single female star and a bachelor. They were both singles. The environment in the apartment could not be called tidy.
Maggie Cheung felt very embarrassed when she saw her, and said with a guilty conscience: "I have been too busy filming recently."
Tao Yushu did not dwell on these matters and said, "Let's go and have dinner together tonight."
The three of them went to the coffee shop downstairs. In addition to selling coffee, they also sell wonton noodles and other food, which is very Xiangjiang special.
While eating, Maggie Cheung and Tao Yumo glanced at each other secretly. They didn't know why Tao Yushu came to the apartment today, making the two feel guilty as if they were elementary school students talking together in class and getting caught by the teacher.
"Maggie, did you know any good screenwriters, directors or producers at Jade Channel before?"
Maggie Cheung didn't know why Tao Yushu suddenly asked this. She thought for a while and said, "I don't know many people. Zhao Zhenqiang and Wang Jing are the most familiar. Sister Yushu, why are you asking this?"
"We are opening a film company and we need to recruit some people!"
"Do you need me to ask them for you?"
"Then ask them for me. If you want to change jobs, make an appointment to talk."
Maggie Cheung gave an OK gesture to Tao Yushu, who smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Maggie!"
Seeing Tao Yushu's smile, Maggie Cheung looked a little shy for some reason, and her voice became lower and lower as she spoke.
