Chapter 1872 1874【Motivated】
…
Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing.
"Mr. Ning, these are the company''s accounts. Take a look at them to see if there are any omissions." Wang Jing handed the company''s financial statements for the first half of the year to Xiang Nandao.
"Don''t look, I can trust you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile. He really didn''t care about the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in business. If you have that kind of energy, you might as well go check out the stock market. One daily limit is tens of millions of dollars, which is much more profitable than Real Kung Fu Pictures.
"It''s better to take a look." Wang Jing heard what he said. Although he was happy, he still said with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded and had to read.
The company released six movies in the first half of the year, namely "The King of Flowers 4", "Angel 3", "Alang''s Story", "Best Friend", "Girl 1988" and "Starry Night" .
? Among them, "A Lang''s Story" is the most popular, with a box office of nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It is Du Qifeng''s most popular work. The second is "The Best Losing Friend", which cost more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Flowers 4" costs HK$12 million, "Girls 1988" costs HK$10 million, "Angel 3" costs HK$8 million, "Tonight" costs HK$8 million, and "The Kid" costs HK$700. With more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the results are pretty good.
?Coupled with overseas box office revenue and revenue from video sales, Xiang Nan earned more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of the year. In Hong Kong in 1988, this was definitely a lot of money.
At that time, the salary of a top star like Chow Yun-fat was only one million Hong Kong dollars.
Hong Kong film industry’s remuneration went out of control only after the new century. At that time, Hong Kong films were able to be distributed in the mainland, and coupled with the pursuit of mainland film companies, the remuneration of Hong Kong stars began to increase.
In 1992, Tony Leung''s salary was only one million Hong Kong dollars. By the time "Infernal Affairs" was filmed in 2002, the friendship price had reached tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
?Just like in the 1990s, after the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, Hollywood movies suddenly gained a huge market out of thin air, so the salaries of actors were constantly rising.
Previously, the salary of top superstars was only US$5 million. After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, it quickly grew to tens of millions of dollars, and within a few years there were even 20 million clubs.
…
“Director Wang, the results are pretty good.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “I’m very satisfied, keep working hard.”
"Yes, Mr. Ning." Wang Jing nodded, "By the way, Mr. Ning, I also helped you take good care of Miss Shanshan. Nothing happened to her."
"I know that, I''ve already seen her." Xiang Nan nodded, then smiled at Wang Jing and said, "It''s amazing, Director Wang, how do you discipline her? After half a year of not seeing her, she has completely changed."
It is said that a country is easy to change, but its nature is difficult to change. He originally thought that reforming Shanshan would be laborious and time-consuming. He didn''t expect that she would change so much in just half a year, which surprised him.
“It’s very simple, I just showed her how top celebrities are treated in Hong Kong.” Wang Jing said with a smile.
When Shanshan first came to Xiangjiang, she did not change her bad habits. She was late for class and left early. She did not like to listen to lectures or practice. She liked to talk back to the teacher and liked to eat, drink and have fun.
??If she hadn''t been entrusted to the class by Xiang Nan, ATV would have wanted to fire her long ago.
When Wang Jing saw this, he took her to attend some events, allowing her to see with her own eyes how top stars were treated. Flowers and applause, stars holding the moon, and all the attention...
Shanshan was aroused to be competitive, so she knew how to study hard.
After hearing this, Xiang Nan admired Wang Jing''s idea.
The reason why many people don’t like learning is because they don’t know what the results of hard work will be.
After all, learning is a long-term process, and you may not see any results for months, years, or even more than ten years.
So many people skip school, skip classes, sleep, and pursue temporary happiness. Wang Jing''s approach was very clever, allowing Shanshan to see the results of her efforts, and she naturally became motivated.
…
Xiang Nan expressed his gratitude to Wang Jing and immediately gave him a check for two million US dollars.
"Director Wang, this is a reward for you. I''ll give you this much first, and then we''ll see what happens in the future. If she stays down-to-earth and changes her ways, I will give you the remaining bonus one after another." Xiang Nan said with a smile. .
When Wang Jing saw the check, he waved his hand repeatedly, "Mr. Ning, you are too polite. I have only done so much, so I don''t need such a generous reward. Please take it back quickly."
Before, Xiang Nan did say that if he taught Shanshan well and made her change her ways, he would be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars.
?But Wang Jing didn’t take it seriously.
On the one hand, tens of millions of dollars is not a small amount. Nowadays, the price of luxury houses in Mid-Levels is only 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Ten million US dollars is enough for him to film a lifetime.
?On the one hand, he also found out that Shanshan and Xiang Nan were not relatives at all, and they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
In this case, Xiang Nan might have just said it casually when he said he wanted to discipline her. After all, there is no reason to spend tens of millions of dollars on a stranger.
But he didn’t expect that now, Xiang Nan would really give him two million dollars, which shocked Wang Jing.
"A gentleman''s words are like a whip for a horse." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "It''s hard to go back on your promise to reward someone, so just accept it. Please be more considerate in the future and just take care of it for me."
"Mr. Ning, forgive me for talking too much, but what is your relationship with her?" Wang Jing asked in confusion.
"It''s hard to say anything, so don''t ask any more questions." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, help me take good care of her, and I won''t treat you badly."
?Wang Jing blinked and then nodded.
…
?After Xiang Nan met Wang Jing, he met Guan Zhilin, Lizhi, Li Lizhen, Chen Yalun, Qiu Shuzhen and others one after another. Then he asked Qiu Yueqing to go out for tea together.
Qiu Yueqing was last year’s Asian Miss Champion and the winner of four single awards: Miss Photogenic, Best Costume Performance, Miss Beauty and Miss Beauty, which shows her high quality.
?It’s just that Yang Baoling, the Miss Hong Kong champion at that time, was even better in terms of appearance and temperament. She participated in the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants and achieved very good results, so she stole all the limelight from Qiu Yueqing.
In addition, newcomers have appeared frequently in Hong Kong''s entertainment industry in recent years, such as Wang Zixian, Carina Lau, Tsang Hua Qian, Li Zhi, Ye Yuqing, Qiu Shuzhen, Gao Lihong, Zhang Manyu, Li Meifeng... Everyone must have good looks, good figure, and temperament. , so Qiu Yueqing''s stardom is not very good.
So far, ATV has not signed an artist contract with her, and no film company has asked her to film.
In comparison, Yang Baoling has already filmed two movies, "Urban Beauty" and "Raising a Wrong Man". Even the runner-up, Li Meifeng, was invited to act in "Fantasy Girl 2", "The Courting Suicide Squad", "Senior Sister''s Show" and so on.
Qiu Yueqing was naturally very anxious. After all, her purpose in doing this is for fame and fortune.
If no one asks her to film, then where will she make money? With no work to do and no money to make, I have to go back to being an office worker.
So after she received Xiang Nan''s invitation, she rushed over as soon as possible.
