Chapter 216: Green Island is lifted and the movie is released
The $100 million in compensation was to be handed over to the country. However, the $100 million in funding was transferred to the account of Renjiaoshe. With the sudden $100 million in funding, many of Renjiaoshe's plans could be implemented.
This money is a special fund and must be used for mutual review of textbooks. However, this matter is not difficult for Renjiao Society, as long as these plans are linked to the mutual review of textbooks.
Liu Hongmin doesn't care about this matter, the money is for Renjiao Society. Now Renjiao Society is worshipping Liu Hongmin, he is the God of Wealth!
Every leader and staff member of Renjiao Society smiled and greeted Liu Hongmin from afar when they saw him.
Liu Hongmin was not surprised by this. He greeted him with a smile and went to the office.
Jeff Ozuka arrived very early, and it was obvious that they were more anxious to promote the mutual review of textbooks than we were.
"Mr. Liu, this is our plan for mutual review of textbooks. Please review it."
Liu Hongmin took it and looked at it. "Let's hold the negotiation in Beijing and let your education department come to negotiate. I hope you can remember this lesson and stop playing tricks."
Anger flashed in Kozuka Jeff's eyes, but he smiled awkwardly, "That's for sure. This time our Ministry of Science is taking the lead in this matter, and I'm sure you will be satisfied."
Liu Hongmin nodded. "That's good. We will give you a reply after we have checked the other arrangements."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll wait for your good news." Jeff Kozuka bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Liu Hongmin curled his lips. People should emphasize what they lack the most. The little devil seemed respectful and polite on the surface, but he had no etiquette or morality in his heart. Xiaozuka Jiefu thought he hid it well, but Liu Hongmin still saw the anger in his eyes.
But he didn't care, he was just furious.
The mutual review of textbooks has come to an end for the time being, and there is basically nothing to do until the trip is arranged.
Liu Hongmin needed to go to Hong Kong because cross-strait relations had eased and Green Island lifted the martial law on July 7. All the companies and artists banned by the martial law were lifted. This was great news for Tomorrow Film Company and its artists.
Since the establishment of Tomorrow Film Company, no movie has been shown on Green Island. Tomorrow Film Company once did some calculations and found that according to the box office in recent years, it could take in at least 5 million yuan.
Of course, the film company will not get this money tomorrow. Because what was sold to Green Island was the copyright, and there will be no box office revenue sharing. But even if it is the copyright, at least more than 1 million can be sold. The cost of these movies has long been recovered, and the income from selling copyrights is pure profit.
Most of the artists under Tomorrow Films have been banned by Green Island. However, the most severe ban is still on Liang Jiahui. Apart from the films of Tomorrow Films, it is difficult for Liang Jiahui to get roles outside.
Now that the ban has been lifted, Liang Jiahui has immediately become a hot commodity in the Hong Kong film industry. Liang Jiahui has good acting skills and his pay is not high, so naturally he has been offered many film jobs.
Even more popular than Liang Jiahui is Zhou Xingxing, whose acting skills have entered a mature stage. "Flirting Scholar" was released in the summer and earned 3000 million in box office in just half a month. The success of "Flirting Scholar" allowed Zhou Xingxing to step out of the "Chinatown Detective" series and successfully prove himself.
However, after Zhou Xingxing jumped out of the barrier of "Chinatown Detective", he no longer cared about "Chinatown Detective". If he didn't want to take He Jiajin with him, he didn't want to shoot "Chinatown Detective" anymore. After all, so many episodes have been shot and it feels like there is nothing new. Not to mention Zhou Xingxing, even Liu Hongmin has entered a creative bottleneck period. In addition, Li Lizhen is pregnant, so he handed the script of the next "Chinatown Detective" to the company's screenwriter. Although the company's screenwriter has creative talent, he is far inferior to Liu Hongmin in setting up the case.
Zhou Xingxing was not very satisfied with the script, so the filming of this "Chinatown Detective" has not started until now. Wang Yaowei was a little anxious and had to invite Liu Hongmin to come.
"Mr. Liu, why are you here?"
Zhou Xingxing is an introvert and not a good talker. But he has always respected Liu Hongmin. His current fame and status are all given by Liu Hongmin.
"Mr. Liu, you know me well. It's not that I don't cooperate, but the script is really poorly written."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "It's okay, Ah Xing. You are right to have strict requirements for the script. This is your pursuit for movies. In this way, the filming of the "Chinatown Detective" series will be suspended, and you can choose the subject matter to shoot by yourself. You have been imprisoned by "Chinatown Detective" for so long, and it's time for you to try other subjects."
Zhou Xingxing was very touched, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your understanding."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "Axing, I know your character. You have a passion for movies. Money can never be earned enough. The most important thing is for us to maintain our interest in movies."
Suspending the production of "Chinatown Detective" would be very harmful to Tomorrow Films, and Wang Yaowei and Zou Shifang disagreed. After all, "Chinatown Detective" is the company's cash cow, "Hongmin, this will cause us great losses."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "Movies are a cultural industry, and the most taboo thing is duplication of content. This problem has already occurred in "Chinatown Detective", so it is imperative to suspend it. It just so happens that I don't have much to do in the past two years, so I will suspend filming first. When I regain my creative desire, I will write the script. By then, I think Ah Xing will not refuse to participate."
When the two heard this, they could only nod helplessly.
"Let's talk about selling the copyright."
Wang Yaowei took out the documents and said, "All the film copyrights have been sold, for a total of million Hong Kong dollars."
"If the money arrives, it will be distributed directly as dividends." Liu Hongmin said: "In the future, the company will attract directors and invest in their high-quality projects. Then we will focus on training Ah Xing and invite some directors who can work well with him."
Wang Yaowei nodded. He could get about million yuan out of the million yuan in dividends. This was Liu Hongmin trying to appease them, and they had to give him face.
"I'll arrange it."
The affairs in Xiangjiang were almost settled, and Liu Hongmin was ready to return to Beijing. This time he came to Beijing, he did not bring Li Lizhen with him. In a few months, Li Lizhen would be due to give birth. He came to Xiangjiang this time to bring Li Lizhen's family to Beijing. With her family by her side during this period, Li Lizhen would be in a much better mood, which would help her prepare for the birth.
Liu Hongmin returned to the capital with the Li family. He settled the Li family in the courtyard next door, separated from Liu Hongmin's courtyard by a wall. The Li family didn't pay much attention at first, but after entering, they realized how luxurious it was.
