This is why the Hong Kong film industry is thriving today. It can be said that a new film is released every week, with some making losses and some making profits. Even if a film fails in Hong Kong, most of them can still break even with the overseas box office.

However, among these profitable films, the most profitable ones are those starring several leading stars from Brothers Film and Television.

Especially Zou Runfa, Zou Xingchi and Liu Dehua are the most popular.

The three of them had the highest pay: Zou Runfa received 500 million, Zou Xingchi received 400 million, and Liu Dehua also received 400 million.

As I said, as long as Zhang Wen feels that he is not losing out and can afford it, he cannot stop his artists from making money.

But if we count the people who make the most money, apart from the two bosses Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, the three singers are Zhang Guorong, Mei Gu and Zhang Xueyou.

At Zhang Wen's request, the three of them released a Mandarin album in addition to English and Cantonese albums.

The three of them had hit songs that topped the U.S. Billboard charts, and they all earned money in U.S. dollars. The most profitable one, Zhang Guorong, earned nearly 2000 million U.S. dollars in album dividends in the U.S. alone. The other two earned much less, but they still earned several million U.S. dollars.

Cantonese is the stronghold of Hong Kong. None of the three of them lost it and they still occupy half of the market, which is a very good result.

The most surprising thing was the Mandarin albums, which were sold out in the Chinese circle, and the biggest surprise was the Chinese market.

With the help of He Liansheng, a logistics company that defrauds the whole country, genuine albums can be said to be spread all over the country. Moreover, the piracy technology of CD discs is now under the effective control of Zhang Wen and has not been leaked at all.

As living conditions in China have improved, the album sales of the three in China have gradually surpassed those in Taiwan, becoming the largest market for Mandarin albums, with sales often exceeding millions.

Michael's MTV album, released by ATV Music, sold nearly three million copies.

Driven by such good news, the three film companies and ATV started a craze for learning English and Mandarin.

From a macro perspective, these two markets are much larger than the Hong Kong market.

Especially the domestic market, which has huge development potential.

With Zhang Wen, a foresighted person, this transformation direction is definitely correct.

He also encouraged his artists to set up businesses in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing.

Not only the artists, but also everyone under He Liansheng is like this.

This change also promoted the development of the real estate market in the three places.

Chapter 318 Zhang Min's Job Change

"The salary for the film Lion King is 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for the Western Region Army, I give you two options, one is 400 million US dollars.

The other is 200 million US dollars plus 10% of the North American box office dividends, which one do you choose? "In the Brothers Film and Television Building, Zhang Wen gave Li Lianjie a choice.

"I choose the second option." Jet Li chose the dividend without hesitation, which was also a recognition of his own strength.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange a contract for you as soon as possible." Zhang Wen did not object and agreed immediately. In fact, he also hoped that Jet Li would choose the second option.

Seeing Jackie Chan making huge profits, the person who must be the most jealous is definitely Jet Li, because he is also recognized by Ho Li-ho, but his income is much lower than Jacky Cheung's. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about this.

As for giving him 400 million US dollars, it is just a recognition of his current status. The current salary of a first-line male star like He Lihuo is about 600 to 800 million, so giving him 400 million is not a small amount.

"Thank you, boss. Do you have any good suggestions on investment?" Jet Li has already received his film remuneration for this year, which totals more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, making him one of the top-tier companies.

“The courtyard houses in Beijing are nice, and the villas in Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay on the Hong Kong side are also fine.

Where will you focus your life in the future? Beverly Hills is also a good choice. If the money is not enough, I can ask the finance department to settle the salary for your two films this year for you." Zhang Wen gave his suggestion.

"That's great. I actually plan to buy a villa in Beverly. I saw one last year. The price was not high, only 85 US dollars." Jet Li was delighted.

"Haha, investing in real estate is definitely right. Here you go." Zhang Wen handed over a pair of car keys with a smile.

"McLaren?" Looking at the logo on the car key, Jet Li was stunned.

"Well, there's one for you and A'long, and one for Young Master Rong as well. Haha, the goods just arrived and are in the parking space downstairs." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss. Thank you. I'll go take a look." Without saying a word, Jet Li bowed and ran out.

As a man, luxury cars and beautiful women are their favorites, and Zhang Wen is not surprised at all.

Nowadays, you can’t buy a McLaren just by having money. Even the prince of the Shah has to queue up.

If you see people driving a McLaren F1 on the streets of Hong Kong, they are definitely top wealthy people.

The release of Rumble in the Bronx made McLaren famous all over the world, even though one of its cars was crushed by a hovercraft.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a cigar in his mouth, Zhang Wen was watching the excitement as he looked down at Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung who were excitedly discussing something in front of three McLaren cars.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Zimei walked in with a stack of documents. Seeing Zhang Wen reading, she also leaned over to take a look.

From the collar of her business suit, Zhang Wen could see a piece of snow-white.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Yes, please sign these documents quickly." Ye Zimei said as she put the documents on the desk.

"I asked you if there was anything wrong?" Zhang Wen had a wicked smile on his face.

"What do you want to do? There are a lot of things going on, don't mess around." Ye Zimei saw what was going on and immediately prepared to run away.

"Oh, don't run." Zhang Wen failed to catch her and let her slip away, which made him feel itchy.

Fortunately, I didn't mess around. It's the end of the year and there are so many things to do.

"Mr. Wen, this is 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is Zhang Min's breach of contract fee." Yongsheng's boss Xiang Qiang and the two brothers Xiang Sheng came together and brought Zhang Min in.

This was the first time that someone from Brothers Film and Television had come across this issue. To be honest, Zhang Wen was filled with anger.

"Put the money down and you two go out first." Zhang Wen said with a cold face.

"You..." Xiang Sheng stood up suddenly.

"Uh, okay, Master Wen." Xiang Qiang quickly grabbed Xiang Sheng. Xiang Sheng wanted to resist, but was stopped by Xiang Qiang with his eyes.

Faced with Xiang Qiang's tough attitude, Xiang Sheng had no choice but to give in and walked out, sitting down on the sofa in the outer room.

"Brother, why did you stop me?" Xiang Sheng was still unconvinced after coming out.

"Do you want to die? Even my eldest brother doesn't act rashly in front of him. How many heads do you have? You have forgotten who he is." Xiang Qiang scolded in a low voice.

"I didn't forget, but what if Amin is in there..." Xiang Sheng said struggling.

"You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. She's just a woman, why are you acting like this?" Xiang Qiang continued to scold.

"Huh~~~Okay." Xiang Sheng held back and stopped talking, but his eyes were fixed on the door of Zhang Wen's office.

"Are you sure you want to go to Yongsheng?" Zhang Wen asked as soon as the two left.

"I... Xiang Sheng said that if I go there, they will support me." Zhang Min was a little scared, and his voice trembled.

“Haha, a man’s mouth is full of lies, alright.

You are the first artist of my Brothers Film and Television who actively asked to switch jobs. In the future, you will not have the opportunity to star in any films related to Brothers Film and Television.

Originally, you were given the female lead role in Ah Xing's "Fight Back to School" this year, but now you can change the actress." Zhang Wen joked.

"..I......" Zhang Min regretted what she said instantly when she heard Zhang Wen's words, but she had already said it, and she didn't know how to start.

"What? Do you regret it? Haha." Zhang Wen continued to tease.

"Thank you for your training, boss!" After hesitating for a while, Zhang Min decided to follow the Xiang brothers. Besides, she had already slept with Xiang Sheng, so Xiang Qiang should not go back on his word.

"Okay, now that you've made the decision, let's go out." Seeing that Zhang Min still had no intention of turning back, Zhang Wen decided to ignore it.

"Thank you!" Zhang Min stood up, bowed, opened the door and left.

After a while, Ye Zimei came in and asked curiously, "Did Zhang Min change jobs?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Wen nodded and started processing the documents.

"This is big news. She is the first one. How dare she?" Ye Zimei asked.

"Why, am I scary? I have never treated the artists badly." Zhang Wen asked with a frown.

"Oh, silly husband, why do you become an artist? One reason is to become famous, and the other is to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife." Ye Zimei said while pinching Zhang Wen's shoulder.

"What about you?" Zhang Wen pulled her into his arms and asked.

"Me? I came here to make money. I was planning to help my family improve their living conditions, but in the end, I became your concubine. Sigh..." Ye Zimei was in a state of dramatic acting and started to act.

"Oh, it's not good to be my concubine." Zhang Wen was angry and put his hands into her professional suit.

"Hahaha, it's itchy." Ye Zimei laughed.

"Dong~~~Hey~~~You two, be careful, it's broad daylight." The person who pushed the door open was Qiu Shuzhen.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Wen did not let go of Ye Zimei, but asked curiously.

"Zhang Min changed jobs?" Qiu Shuzhen came in and asked about this as well.

"Fuck, what? Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" Zhang Wen said angrily.

Chapter 100: One million for one side

"No, it's just that a few people lost a bet. There's really nothing going on between you and Zhang Min, hahaha." Qiu Shuzhen explained with a smile.

"Damn it! You're gambling with me again.

I'm not that domineering. People are going to move up, and it's not good for me to stop them." Zhang Wen explained.

In fact, letting Zhang Min go was only one factor. Another factor was considering Xiang Yan.

Recently, the negotiations in the city are at a critical moment, and they are now struggling over whether to give 1200 or 1000 per foot.

300多万尺,1000块差不多就要30亿港纸,多100块就要多付1个亿出去。

We must pay less if we can, and this matter must be done without making any mistakes at this critical juncture.

Therefore, he shouldn't be too harsh on Xiang Yan's two younger brothers.

Besides, the two of them paid 50 yuan in compensation, which is 10 times higher than the original 5 yuan penalty. Just let them go.

In fact, even if the so-called owners of the walled city were compensated 1200 per square foot, it would still be a big profit.

36 acres of land is nearly 2.4 square meters. Now the residential housing prices in Hong Kong have risen to over 3 yuan per square meter, and the prices of shopping malls and office buildings start at a minimum of 533 yuan.

If calculated according to the planned mall drawings, the construction area of ​​the completed mall will reach 30 square meters, and the minimum value will be 90 billion.

Excluding the construction cost of 10 billion, if it is sold, 50 billion can be earned immediately. It is definitely a good project.

However, Zhang Wen and his fourth uncle Li Zhaoji have no plans to sell this shopping mall. In the future, it will be the largest property invested by the two companies in Hong Kong and will only be rented out and not sold.

The location is so good and it can also drive the surrounding economic development. Only a fool would sell it.

That is a big golden bull that produces golden milk.

After settling the matter of Zhang Min, another unknown major event was taking place secretly under the promotion of Zhang Wen.

That is the missile deal between the Shah and China.

During this year, the two sides have gone through many negotiations. Although Zhang Wen did not participate in person, Li Zhengyang, as his spokesperson, has participated in a face-to-face negotiation throughout the process.

Just this month, Li Zhengyang and Qiseguang escorted the Chinese leaders to the military base of the Shah Kingdom on Zhang Wen’s 737 private jet.

After a week of negotiations, the DF3, a medium-range ballistic missile with a range of 2800 kilometers, was finally finalized, and related matters such as how to transport it and which base to choose were also finalized.

As for the price, at Zhang Wen's suggestion, the Chinese representative raised two fingers.

The representative of the Saudi Arabia frowned at the price of US$2 million per coin, but did not object on the spot.

This is just the result of the first round of negotiations.

The second round of negotiations will be held in Hong Kong two months later, in Zhang Wen’s base camp. The two sides will further communicate on the details of the first round of negotiations.

All security issues at the negotiation site were left to Zhang Wen to handle.

This is a hot potato, but Zhang Wen has no choice but to do it, and he is happy to do it. He is very happy to bring such a large amount of foreign exchange reserves to the country.

Now he is having a headache about how to choose the negotiation location.

The conference room of the Hilton Hotel is definitely the best choice, but Hong Kong is now an important international transit center with many businessmen from all over the world traveling here, and no one knows whether there will be intelligence personnel from other major countries in it.

So he chose the location inside the Wen Ji Security Base. By then, with everyone on alert, not even a mosquito could fly in.

There are still two months of preparation time, so Zhang Wen is not in a hurry and the activities held in previous years are proceeding as usual.

Each company’s anniversary celebration is still held in the form of a concert.

This is a great time to boost company morale.

At the same time, this is also a good opportunity for the company's artists to make money.

Among them, the highest-paid ones are some big names from (bbff) company, but they no longer care about this little money.

But when faced with the price of 50 yuan for a song, Cheng Long still couldn't keep calm.
