"No problem. I will still need your people in my subsequent filming plans. It's a win-win cooperation." Zhang Wen nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I fully support it. God of Gamblers will split the profits 64:6, you take 4 and I take . How do you think?" After hearing Zhang Wen's agreement, Uncle Shao Liu immediately offered some benefits.
"That's great, Sixth Uncle. I'll toast you a glass." Zhang Wen was delighted.
For Hong Kong movies nowadays, only those from big companies can get such a high share in the first week. In the second week it will become 55. If they want to continue doing so, it can only be 46.
If the box office of God of Gamblers reached 3600 million as recorded in later generations, Uncle Shao would have lost at least 400 million, which is half a building.
That's really generous.
Uncle Shao Liu also has his own little thoughts. Although Shao's Cinemas has no shortage of film sources now, it is a pity that there are no masterpieces.
But he saw this time that God of Gamblers would definitely be a big hit and might even win the box office championship this year.
He also heard from Wang Tianlin that the sister company's script library contained hundreds of scripts, many of which were as good as God of Gamblers.
This is exactly why he was willing to give up the profit. He wanted to tie up Zhang Wen to death so that Shao could compete with Jiahe and Princess Jing.
A meal is a feast for the host and the guest.
Soon, Wang Jin negotiated the release time with his uncle.
At this time, Zhang Wen became a hands-off boss and turned around to take care of his important business.
He went to Japan and used his portable space to install 500 arcade machines, each of which cost him 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Immediately, the remaining fifty-odd mahjong parlors were directly converted into video game arcades.
At present, Zhang Wen is the only one in Hong Kong in the video game arcade. Of course, it is impossible to play with just one dollar and a few coins. It is a direct 1:1 exchange.
Each arcade has 30 to 40 machines and is basically open from morning to night. Each store earns at least HK$1 to HK$2 a day.
Such a hot scene made many people jealous.
Zhang Wen had also anticipated this. Now that he had money, why would he be afraid of having no one?
There were still many ruffians with nothing to do in the New Territories. With massive recruitment, the power of the Tsuen Wan gang continued to expand, and soon exceeded one thousand people. These were just his direct subordinates, and there were even more on the periphery.
"Boss, someone is selling goods in our yard." Parking Hero should now be renamed Video Game Hero.
Zhang Wen wanted to promote this loyal younger brother, so he gave him the business of the video game arcade.
The fortunes of the electric game hero have changed. If you go to his house today, he can enjoy a 10% commission.
Chapter 13: Xiaozaiwen has gained popularity?
Therefore, he took good care of this golden nugget in his hand, and hung out in these video game arcades every day, not daring to relax for a moment.
As soon as he arrived at a video game center, his subordinates came to report.
"Who? Where are you from?" The video game hero exploded with anger on the spot.
"It's that yellow-haired guy. He's very arrogant and said he was helped by the number." The younger brother said angrily.
"Knock it out, the Number Gang, what are you waiting for? Clean up his goods, break one of his hands, and throw him out." Dianyouxiong gave the order immediately when he heard that they were still an enemy gang.
"Yes!" His subordinates rushed forward and dragged the man directly out of the video game city.
"I heard that you are from the Number Gang?" Dianyouxiong asked the yellow-haired guy who was dragged out.
"Yeah, what's the matter? Can't we come and play here?" The yellow-haired man replied rudely.
Dianyouxiong pointed to the warning sign at the door and said, "See clearly? No drugs allowed inside."
"I can't smoke it myself." Looking at the several powder bags that were searched out, the yellow-haired man argued cunningly.
"Okay, just suck it all up now and I'll let you go." The video game hero said with a smile.
When Huang Mao heard this, his face changed drastically and he begged, "Brother, I don't dare anymore, please let me go."
If he inhales it all, he will die. People who use powder know the consequences of overdose.
"Okay, you don't have to suck it. Break one of your hands. It's your choice." The video game hero said, taking the baseball bat from his younger brother's hand.
"Parking Xiong, don't go too far. I'm with Brother Wu." The yellow-haired man shouted in a stern but cowardly manner.
"Brother Wu? You're the one who's obsessed with money. Haha, I'm so scared." Dianyouxiong said with a smile.
Then he shouted again: "If you don't dare, then I will do it and grab his hand."
"Crack~~"
"squeak~"
“Ahhhh~~~My hand~~”
After throwing the baseball bat to his little brother, Dianyouxiong said, "Go back and tell Ah Wu that if you cross the line again, it won't be a hand-breaking punishment. I will just cut off your hand. Get lost!"
Dianyouxiong did all this right on the roadside of the video game arcade, and the whole process was clearly seen by the bad guys playing in the video game arcade.
“So awesome!”
"So fucking close!"
"too handsome!"
Such a violent scene not only did not scare these people, but instead aroused the admiration of countless bad guys.
Soon, Dianwanxiong reported the matter to the boss. Zhang Wen praised him for a good job and reiterated to other brothers that if any other gangs crossed the line, they should be dealt with in the same way.
This matter soon reached the ears of the police.
"Sir Xu, if this little article doesn't have any fans, where does it get so much money?" Xiao He asked doubtfully.
"Damn it. He said he won't leave, so he won't leave." Another plainclothes officer, Lao Yu, said.
"Who said he doesn't have fans? We received a tip that someone is spreading fans in Wunan. We'll take action tonight and raid his place," said David Xu.
"Yes Sir!"
The development of Tsuen Wan is definitely a little behind that of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, but there are still many newly built bars and nightclubs around the center of Tsuen Wan.
The most popular one is the Second Bar, which is also managed by Wu Nan.
"Ashen, can you please let your little brother restrain himself a little?"
Ten o'clock in the evening was the busiest time of the night, but Wu Nan felt unhappy. He found Yaotou Sen who was enjoying himself in the private room and started to complain.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Come, have a drink." Yao Tousen put his arm around Wu Nan's shoulders and handed him a glass of wine.
Yaotou Sen has been doing quite well recently. Ever since he followed Chuanbao and received over 500 million worth of goods on credit, he has expanded his loose powder business several times.
Before, when Yao Tousen was under Shuangyingxing, he didn't dare to stand out like this.
Mainly because Double Eagle Star was influenced by Zhang Wen, they felt that it was somewhat unscrupulous to make money from the fan club, so the funds given were limited.
In addition, he spent money lavishly and could not save the money he earned, so he could never make big business relying solely on his own money.
Now, he followed the new boss and bought goods worth 500 million on credit, which made his business take off and he became more arrogant.
"Xiziwen collected 400 million in rent, which means 200 million is borne by me. How can I collect the money if I don't expand it? Do you want to work with me? How much money can you make from your liquor business?" Yao Tousen said with a smile.
“You can’t be so blatant, just put it out on the table and scatter it.” Wu Nan said with a frown.
"Don't worry, at worst I can give you 10%, how about that?" Yao Tousen began to tempt.
Wu Nan frowned, somewhat hesitant.
"I'm serious. Let your little brother help as well. Xiziwen won't dare to do anything to you." Yao Tousen looked at Wu Nan, who was obviously tempted, and continued.
"Forget it. I'm afraid that I'll live to get it but not to spend it." In the end, Wu Nan still didn't make up his mind and rejected Yao Tousen.
"Throw it! Forget it, drink, drink!"
Suddenly, the sound of the speaker outside the private room stopped. Wu Nan immediately noticed something was wrong and opened the door.
Chapter 14: God of Gamblers Releases Triple Return (New Book Seeking Support)
"Police raid, everyone squat down and take out your ID cards, quick!" The voice from the speakers carried into the private room area.
Yao Tousen reacted very quickly. He grabbed the powder bag he was carrying and rushed out. He knew where the back door was.
"Stop!" Xiao He was the first to notice Yao Tousen rushing out and immediately chased after him.
"Boss, the place was raided by the police, and many of Yaotou Sen's men were arrested." Da Boyi quickly got wind of what happened in the second bar.
"How are our people?" Zhang Wen asked.
"What does it have to do with us? We didn't distribute the powder. Haha, now drug dealer Sen is in big trouble. I heard that he bought 500 million powder on credit." Dabaoyi said with a smile.
"Well, let Amin go to the police station and get our people out. We are not responsible for other matters." Zhang Wen said with a smile.
"Got it, boss."
God of Gamblers was released as scheduled during the Spring Festival of 81.
This is the best schedule of the year, and God of Gamblers was actually completed in October.
The film was delayed until the Spring Festival to be released. This was also the idea of Uncle Six. He wanted to win the box office championship in 81 in one fell swoop and bring good luck to Shaw's film business.
During this period, Wang Jin was not idle either, and he continued to shoot his film "The Thousand Kings Fight the Thousand Tyrants".
All the people used were from the Shao family, which was considered as repaying a favor owed to Uncle Shao Liu.
In its first week of release, God of Gamblers caused a sensation.
Shaw Cinemas are packed with shows and tickets are still hard to come by.
Princess Jing's boss Lei came to negotiate immediately and also offered a 64% profit-sharing model to get a copy.
Finally, it was Jiahe who realized it later. Although he had always been against the Shao family, he was a bastard if he didn't make money.
It’s the same profit-sharing model, and I got a copy.
During the entire Spring Festival period of 81, there was no other good movie except Modern Bodyguard.
But compared with phenomenal films like God of Gamblers, Modern Bodyguard is still a step behind, and its box office has always been suppressed by God of Gamblers.
After one month of screening, God of Gamblers had grossed 2800 million, breaking the record in film history, while The Bodyguard only grossed 1000 million.
Based on the box office share, Zhang Wen can get 1680 million, and after deducting the production cost of 400 million, the net profit is 1280 million.
The profit from the Hong Kong box office alone tripled.
Uncle Shao Liu immediately negotiated for the overseas distribution rights and offered to charge only 10% of the distribution fee. Zhang Wen was too lazy to negotiate with everyone one by one, so he just handed it over.
On a minibus in Tsuen Wan early in the morning, Ng Man-tat was holding a book on acting teaching and reading it intently.
"We're here at Tsuen Wan Center." the driver in front shouted.
When Wu Mengda heard this, he quickly put away his book and got off the minibus.
The bus stop was some distance away from the brother company, and Wu Mengda walked slowly while reading a book.
"Hey, isn't this Hua Liucheng? Why, now that you're famous, you don't recognize me anymore?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from in front of him.
"Hello, Brother Chai, hello, Brother Chai!" Wu Mengda looked up and was surprised, then he immediately smiled and greeted him.
"Hmph, I'm not in good shape. Someone owes me money and doesn't pay it back. How can I be fine?" Brother Chai looked painful.
"Brother Chai, don’t I pay the interest every month?" Wu Mengda defended.
"Snapped!"
Brother Chai slapped Wu Mengda in the face, and his face turned red instantly.
"That little bit of interest you give me is useless. I haven't seen a penny of the principal. Tell me, when can you pay me back the 30?" After the beating, Brother Chai grabbed Wu Mengda's neck and yelled.
"Hey, why are you hitting people?" At this moment, two girls passing by asked loudly.
"Hey, little sister, you are pretty." Before Brother Chai could ask anything, several younger brothers behind him surrounded the two girls.
"Brother Chai, come to me if you have anything to say. Don't harass them." When Wu Mengda saw that the two girls were still his students, he immediately broke free from his restraints and stood in front of the girls.
"Ah, Uncle Da?" Only then did the two girls see clearly that it was Wu Mengda.
"You guys go quickly, I'll stop them." Wu Mengda turned around and shouted.
"Shovel the house, throw it to the street!"
Wu Mengda, who had just turned around to speak, was kicked to the ground by several younger brothers.
Upon seeing this, the two girls immediately ran towards the direction of the brother company.
"Fuck you! You can't even protect yourself, yet you still meddle in other people's business? Beat him, break his arm." The younger brothers were kicking and slamming, while Brother Chai was shouting on the side.
