Conference room of Dengfeng County Party Committee Building. (Literature Museum)

Lawyer Hu, who was invited by Kang Jianfei from Hong Kong, took out the draft contract and said to Secretary Zheng and County Mayor Wu: "Please check it out first, please see if there are any errors in the contract."

A contract was thick and thick, and the two parents looked at it for a long time, and had been confused by various terms and sentences.

Kang Jianfei asked Lawyer Hu to explain it to them one by one very humanely. After two hours of busy work, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the content of the contract. Under the camera lens of reporters from Luoyang Daily and County Daily, both parties signed the names on the contract.

Because Kang Jianfei was in a hurry to go to Yunnan to continue filming, Dengfeng County established a Shaolin Temple contract project promotion team, with County Mayor Wu personally as the group leader to help the establishment of Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School - after all, 750,000 is not that easy to make.

The heads of the Dengfeng County Agriculture and Forestry Department and the investment promotion department were all recruited to have a meeting, but unfortunately there were some problems in the tourism department.

The tourism department of the Republic was just a national travel agency at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was not until the 1960s that the China Travel and Tourism Administration was established, and it was responsible for China's tourism industry together with China International Travel Agency. Unfortunately, the Tourism Administration had just been established and encountered a ten-year movement, and it was not until after the reform and opening up that it resumed its work.

To this day, China's Travel Administration has only been established at the provincial level at the lowest level. Not to mention that Dengfeng County does not have a tourism bureau, even the Luoyang City where it is located has no tourism bureau.

If Kang Jianfei's Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company wants to be established, he must go to Zhengzhou Provincial Tourism Administration to submit an approval report, and then contact China International Travel Agency directly under the Ministry of Finance. Because there are no private travel agencies now, any overseas person who wants to travel to Shaolin Temple in the future must be handled by China International Travel Agency.

After that, there were so many things that Kang Jianfei was too lazy to get a headache. He threw all the things to Hu Juncai to deal with. Anyway, the contract has been signed, and Kang Jianfei is not afraid of the local government repent after "Shaolin Temple" was released. As for the establishment of the company and the construction restoration work, he could take it slowly. Kang Jianfei never thought of making Shaolin Temple profitable within three to five years.

Back at the county guesthouse, Kang Jianfei said to Hu Juncai: "Acai, don't worry about making money. The most important thing now is to renovate Shaolin Temple. During renovation, you must listen to the opinions of the experts of the design institute. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. You must repair Shaolin Temple."

Hu Juncai was wearing a suit and tie. His hair was neatly combed, which was quite a bit like a successful person. Unfortunately, this guy exposed his background as soon as he ate, so he brought a bowl of noodles back to the guest room. He bit a lot of noodles in one mouthful and sucked it in it.

"Shuo" swallowed half a bowl of noodles in one bite. Hu Juncai chewed and complained: "This staple food in the north is too unpalatable. The dishes are so salty that they can't eat, so they can only come back to eat noodles to fill their stomachs. It's better for us in the south..."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You are so clumsy. If you could eat the food received by the county party committee three years ago, you would probably be able to wake up in your dreams."

"Hahaha..." Hu Juncai could only laugh dryly. He was different from Kang Jianfei. Kang Jianfei only fled Hong Kong after his parents died, while Hu Juncai's family had eight brothers and sisters, but they were too many, but they couldn't eat enough. So a few years ago, they were so hungry that they followed Kang Jianfei to Hong Kong regardless of life and death.

Kang Jianfei continued: "Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company has been established. You sign a cooperation agreement with Shaolin Temple in the name of the Tourism Development Company. In the future, the company accounts for 80% of the tickets and other income of Shaolin Temple, and Shaolin Temple accounts for 20%.

Hu Juncai said strangely: "Didn't we contract Shaolin Temple? Why do we still have to share the money to Shaolin Temple?"

Kang Jianfei explained: "Shaolin Temple is a religious place. Now the mainland officials are not strict in their management of these. We are actually taking advantage of their legal loopholes. But no matter what, Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and Shaolin Temple belong to two units. After strict distinction, they can save a lot of trouble in the future, otherwise a small local religious management department will be stuck in the future. If we make Shaolin Temple bigger and don't give any benefits to Shaolin Temple, how can those monks not be jealous in the future? Even if we can win the lawsuit, it will greatly affect the operation of the tourism company."

Hu Juncai said unhappy: "We have invested so much money in Shaolin Temple. Those monks can share as much as they want. How can such a good thing be in the world?"

Kang Jianfei explained: "Acai, you will be the manager of Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company in the future, and you cannot still have the same mentality as before. The money in this world cannot be earned by you alone. When you make money, you have to let others drink soup when eating meat, otherwise someone will be jealous and will turn the pot and destroy the stove. Then no one will have to eat it."

Hu Juncai nodded thoughtfully and said, "Just use money to stabilize these monks?"

Kang Jianfei said: "It's not just to stabilize them, but you have to understand that religious units like Shaolin Temple are different from ordinary companies. We cannot use these monks as employees, because the monks' teachings are managed by the government, and we cannot fire them casually. Since we can't force them, we can only tempt them and tie them with us 20% of the income, and then we will belong to the same interest group. At that time, those monks will not only not break up our station, but will instead work hard to help us make the company bigger and bigger. Even if there are powerful people who join forces with the local government to make a travel company in the future, those monks will help us."

Hu Juncai digested it and suddenly asked, "What if those who have the company's idea of ​​promising to give the monks more benefits? These monks may be able to get inside and out."

Kang Jianfei smiled and praised, "Yes, you can think of this problem very well, but you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. First, monks are Buddhists after all, and their face and reputation are very important, and they will not be able to do this kind of thing easily. Second, the reason why I give the monks 20% of the profit instead of just 10% has taken into account the questions you raised. 20% of the profit is already very much. If competitors want to intervene in the future, we have a legal contract, and we will definitely leave a copy for us. The local government needs to participate, so the profit must be distributed to the local finance. This has been divided by most of it. How can I still have the ability to increase the profit share for the monks?"

In fact, Shaolin Temple's ticket revenue can only be divided into 30% of the Shaolin Temple ticket revenue in the parallel space, while the local finance took 70% of it. As for the increase in Shaolin Temple ticket prices, it is also a decision made by relevant departments of the local government. Shaolin Temple has no right to speak. Those netizens who cursed the Shaolin Temple monks who are shameless and have raised their ticket prices to make money are actually scolding the wrong target. As for the listing of Shaolin Temple, Master Yongxin has no decision-making power, and everything is decided by the relevant departments.

After giving some advice, Kang Jianfei finally took the crew to Yun/Nan to continue filming.

At this time, in Hong Kong, "The Story of Hu Yue" directed by Ann Hui, starring Zhou Runfa, Chung Chuhong, Wu Mengda and Hui Yinghong, it was almost time to fall into the painting.

This art film, which was not favored by all film investors, and Anhua Xu has not been invested for more than half a year, has given Kang Jianfei a fairly qualified answer.

"The Story of Hu Yue" costs a total of 1.27 million yuan, but the box office in Hong Kong is 4.51 million yuan in one fell swoop. In line with the parallel time and space, the release of this movie was delayed for more than half a year. Due to the more powerful promotional and slightly higher ticket prices, the box office increased by hundreds of thousands.

The box office of 4.51 million is already pretty good compared to a small-cost movie.

According to the current cooperation practice between Oriental DreamWorks and Princess Golden, if it is a blockbuster released in the golden period, it is usually 60% and 40% of the accounts - DreamWorks accounts for 60%. For small-cost films released in the ordinary period, DreamWorks and Princess Golden Cinemas are basically 50% of the accounts. As for good films such as "Mr. Zombie 2" that are not released in the golden period, the share agreement is also calculated according to the first case.

This is the advantage of large film production companies, which can suppress the cinema chain. How dare small companies share the money with cinemas like this?

"The Story of Hu Yue" has a box office of 4.51 million. After removing the movie tax, Oriental DreamWorks can get more than 2 million yuan, and make a net profit of more than 800,000 yuan after deducting the cost. All the box office revenues of this movie are pure profits, which is simply amazing for an art film, because there are very few art films that are not lost in Hong Kong.

The first thing I regret is Fang Yihua. Fang Yihua is still in part of Shaw Production Department. When Ann Hui invested in films, she was the first person to find. As a result, Fang Yihua felt that the art film had no future, and the story of Vietnamese Chinese refugees was filmed. She thought that few Hong Kong audiences should be able to watch it, so she directly refused to invest in this art film that was destined to be a failure.

Jiahe, Siyuan, Xinyi City and other companies also have almost the same concerns as Fang Yihua, so they all let the movie go.

After the release of "The Story of Hu Yue", Zhou Runfa, who has always had no presence on the big screen, has gained great media attention with this film. At the same time, Wu Mengda and Hui Yinghong, the second male and second female leads, also received praise from critics. On the contrary, the heroine Zhong Chuhong became popular because she starred in "The Sword and Ma Dan". Although she performed well in this movie, she did not receive much extra attention.

After the "Stories of Hu Yue" was released, the box office was released immediately after Zhiwei Tsang directed and acted by Alan Tam and starred in the male lead. Although the plot of this modern urban comedy is average, with Alan Tam's appearance and fame, as well as the funny performances of Alan Tam and Eric Tsang, the box office quickly exceeded 5 million. It seems that the final box office exceeded 10 million.

Just as the media were talking about the myth of never losing money in the movies of Oriental DreamWorks, everyone remembered the same question again, that is: it was about to come to Christmas, but there was no news about Kang Jianfei's new film. Where did he hide?
