With this tiger meat, not only can we entertain the groups who come to negotiate, but the remaining part can also be sold to diners in front of a sign tomorrow.
But in this case, the remaining tiger meat will have to be bought with money.
After thinking for a while, Duan Hongchun asked, "Sheng Chu, do you know the price of tiger meat?"
Chu Xiangqian had already thought about the price and said with a smile, "Tiger whip is 5,000, tiger bones are 20,000, and tiger meat is 50 per catty.
If you buy it by the whole tiger, the price is 30,000 for a 300-jin tiger, 40,000 for a 400-jin tiger, and 50,000 for a 500-jin tiger.
And this price does not include tiger skin. "
Duan Hongchun secretly thought it was a pity that a piece of intact tiger skin had been sold by Chu Xiangqian for tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars before.
It's just that this good thing has nothing to do with you.
And it’s normal for the bigger ones to be more expensive, “Then I’ll order one for RMB 40,000 first.”
"It seems that the restaurant has made a lot of money in the past half month." Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, but secretly reminded Duan Hongchun that it was already the beginning of April and it was time to sort out the accounts for March and distribute dividends. .
Duan Hongchun said hurriedly, "Sheng Chu, at the end of March a few days ago, I had sorted out the accounts for March with the lawyers and accountants from the law firm.
The funds are also deposited into your bank account at Standard Chartered. If you are free, go to the law firm where Huang Weixin and Huang Dazhuang have complete statements and tax forms. "
Chu Xiangqian then said with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll go to the law firm and reconcile with the bank in a moment. As for Tiger, I'll give it to you in three days."
Duan Hongchun was overjoyed and secretly thought that after getting the tiger back, he would invite the old customers to his house for a full tiger feast.
Chu Qianqian drove to Huang Weixin Law Firm and met Huang Dazhuang and the professional accountant.
After some small talk, Chu Qianqian also saw the restaurant’s accounts.
However, there is no sale of sika deer in this account, and tiger accounts will not appear in the restaurant's accounts in the future.
Therefore, the restaurant's revenue does not seem to be high, and the net income in March was only HK$20,000.
The amount allocated to Chu Xiangqian was only 10,000.
This is 30% to 40% higher than the previous net profit of the "Spine" restaurant.
In other words, in the past, the annual net profit of 'Solidarity' was only HK$70,000 to HK$80,000.
And Chu Xiangqian earned even more. He sold 20 sika deer in the past ten days. This alone, based on 8,000 deer, is 160,000.
After deducting the purchase price of 4,050 per head, Chu Xiangqian earned 120,000, while Duan Hongchun received 40,000.
Just enough to buy a 400-pound tiger.
Duan Hongchun paid the money allocated to Chu Xiangqian directly into Chu Xiangqian's account at Standard Chartered Bank, and there was no need for lawyers or accountants to check the accounts.
After all, the sika deer sold in the restaurant were all provided by Chu Xiangqian.
Unless Duan Hongchun stops replenishing the stock of sika deer in the future, there is no way to fake it by selling a few.
However, Chu Xiangqian planned to talk to Duan Hongchun and settle all payments in cash in the future.
As long as the money is not deposited into a bank account, there is no need to file a tax return.
I keep my money in the Novice Village warehouse, which is safer than any bank.
——
After leaving the law office, Chu Xiangqian immediately drove to the Diamond Mountain studio.
When we arrived at the location, the crew was already ready. Guo Zhenhua and the supporting actors and extras had rehearsed it several times.
So once I started shooting, the shooting progress was pretty good.
In addition, Chu Xiangqian was reminded by the director yesterday that he understood that martial arts movies do not need to force the starring performance skills.
As long as the scenes are good-looking and the scenes that are supposed to make the audience laugh have good effects.
The filming period was originally expected to be one month, but from the looks of it, it should only take about 20 days.
When dinner was served at noon, Chu Xiangqian was so happy that he asked the executive to add a large chicken drumstick to everyone.
Immediately received unanimous thanks from the entire crew.
While eating, he saw Guo Zhenhua's girlfriend Yang Luming walking over carrying a thermos bucket.
Guo Zhenhua hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand and walked over quickly with a smile.
When Chu Xiangqian saw this woman who looked exactly like Aunt Mei and had the same singing skills, he couldn't help but think that Aunt Mei was not only good at singing, but also an excellent actress.
It's just that in this era, there are movies where women play the leading role. Not only is it unique, but it also suffers from a loss every time it is made.
I can only think of letting her sing first.
As for whether Yang Luming would agree to sing, Chu Xiangqian was not worried at all.
I called the floor attendant and brought a pen and paper.
After thinking for a while, I wrote "Time flies" on paper.
——
Looking at the sea
Full of weariness, no tears and no words
Looking at the sky
I just feel emotionally confused.——
As Chu Xiangxiang wrote, he recalled the sound of Aunt Mei singing the song "Time flies" in his mind.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that among all the singers who have sung this song, only Mei Gu sings it most tastefully.
As the steward on the side watched Chu Xiangqi writing on the paper, Sanjiang Shui hurriedly came over, grabbed the other party's collar, and whispered harshly, "Don't look at what you shouldn't, and you won't." Do you understand?"
The production manager had known that San Jiangshui was Chu Xiangqian's senior brother, the person in charge of the crew, and a big boss of the society, so his face turned pale with fear.
Chu Qianqian raised his head slightly and glanced at Sanjiang Shui.
Sanjiang Shui understood immediately, let go of the business, and sat down not far from Chu Qianqian, eating and staring with a box lunch in hand.
Chu Qianqian smiled. Regardless of his ability, this kind of care and sense of responsibility are still rare.
As for loyalty, Chu Xiangqian himself didn’t believe it anyway.
Instead of forcing others to be loyal to you, it is better to let them see benefits and prospects.
A man named Ma once said that when his subordinates were wronged, it was because they were not given enough money.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care about the three rivers. After spending a few minutes writing down the music score and lyrics of "Times Like a Flood", he read it carefully to make sure there was no problem.
I couldn't help but wonder if there would be a song to this "Snake-Shaped Trickster"?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, the first thing that came to my mind was "Men Should Be Strong" and "Drunken Master"
Then I thought about it, and among the songs Uncle Long sang, these two seemed to be the only ones I could listen to.
Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head, and quickly wrote "Men should strengthen themselves".
As for whether it completely matched "Snake", Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and found that it barely matched the plot of the movie, and a good song can sometimes increase the box office by several percent.
Only when the first movie is a hit can subsequent movies continue to be produced.
After making three movies, let Uncle Long go out and try his luck on his own. Whether he succeeds on his own or fails, it will be a good thing for him.
If there is a good movie, Guo Zhenhua must show it in the theater chain he established.
The booking fee for ten cinemas is 10,000 for one day, and 150,000 for 15 days.
But if there are no movies, it will be a loss, and if the movies are not good to watch, it will also lose customers.
And I don’t believe that Guo Zhenhua can make money from one film.
Uncle Long in the real world has also experienced several troughs.
I was even shocked at the beginning and went to work as a cook in Da'ao.
If Chu had a conspiracy to register scripts for Uncle Long's popular and classic movies in the United States, if his new movies were similar, he would have to wait for a lawyer's letter.
And if a lawsuit is filed in the United States, it will be settled in one case.
Just losing money would make him miserable, not to mention the loss and blow to his reputation.
Seeing Guo Zhenhua walking over with his girlfriend Yang Luming, Chu Xiangqian also stood up to greet him. He smiled at Yang Luming, who was shy and a little afraid, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, give Aaron a nice soup. Do you have a bowl for me?"
"Yes, yes." Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was so easy to talk to and called herself 'sister-in-law', Yang Luming felt relieved.
Guo Zhenhua also smiled with his mouth crooked.
While waiting to drink the pig's knuckle soup, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but glance at Guo Zhenhua, secretly thinking that this kid really knows how to pretend.
The quality of this soup may not even be as good as that of Xiao Lan'er, who has only recently started to learn how to cook.
But Guo Zhenhua drank it like a delicacy.
Chu Qianqian secretly cursed 'tracheitis', gritted his teeth, and finished the drink in three or five gulps. Guo Zhenhua hurriedly asked, "Boss, do you want another bowl?"
Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at him, picked up the paper on the table, and brought it to Yang Luming, who was sitting on a stool with him.
Yang Luming had actually noticed the paper on the table and the music score on it, and hurriedly lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
After a while, his eyes lit up.
Although there is no accompaniment, the lyrics of "Back to Time" and "A Man Should Be Strong" are indeed very good.
After humming a few lines according to the score, Yang Luming fell in love with these two songs more and more.
He quickly raised his head and looked at Chu Qianqian, "Boss, where did you get these two songs?"
Chu Qianqian pointed to his nose, "I'll sing the first one for you, and let Aaron sing the second one. If the effect is good, I plan to put it in this movie as the opening song."
Guo Zhenhua was stunned. He already had an idea of what he was going to sing like with Yang Luming, his girlfriend who could be a pillar.
He waved his hands hurriedly, "Boss, I'm tone-deaf, so you'd better not waste a good song."
Yang Luming fully agreed with this statement.
But then I thought about it, Aaron is my future husband, and he is developing in the film industry. It doesn't matter whether he can sing well or not, he just needs to practice more.
When this song is released, it will definitely become Aaron's masterpiece.
From now on, the reward for inviting him to sing this song in the nightclub every year may be enough to cover the expenses of the two of them for a year.
He hurriedly took Guo Zhenhua's arm, smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, "Boss, I promise to tell him how to sing word for word when I get home at night.
If you're still not satisfied in the end, try another person. "
Chu Qianqian laughed, seeing what Yang Luming was thinking, but did not refute.
Looking at Guo Zhenhua, he said, "Along, you have to practice routines with Hong Sanbao and learn to sing again. Can you hold on?"
Guo Zhenhua immediately hesitated, but Yang Luming said first, "It's always good to give it a try, and Aaron, this song written by the boss is really, really good.
If you don't give it a try, I think you will regret it in the future. "
Guo Zhenhua's personality was always very easy-going, and his future wife said so. In addition, Chu Xiangqian said he would give it a try from the beginning, so he could only nod and agree.
Chu Xiangqian immediately said, "The copyright of the songs and the income from the records belong to me. When you two attend events and are invited to perform in nightclubs, you can use these two songs for free, is that okay?"
Guo Zhenhua didn't understand this aspect, but Yang Luming nodded quickly.
These days, even the most famous film and television stars are wage earners.
Therefore, Yang Luming didn't even think about profiting from the recording income. Being able to sing these two songs in nightclubs for free is already a very good result.
If it were a record company, they would have to take a hand in this aspect of income.
Some will even take away 80% to 90% and completely treat the singers as slave labor.
So much so that in the coming decades, at least half of the songs on Hong Kong Island will actually be copied from the island country.
Chu Xiangqian called Uncle Hai over. When the old guy heard that he wanted to record a vinyl record for Yang Luming and Guo Zhenhua, he hurriedly advised, "Boss, if you want to record a record, two songs are too few.
It's better to sing on Boss Bai's Li Chi big stage for a few nights first.
If the effect is good, we will find a songwriter to collect the songs, or select a few songs that Ms. Yang sang on the Lichi stage to form a long vinyl record. "
Chu looked forward to Guo Zhenhua. After all, Yang Luming was his girlfriend.
As for Yang Luming's attitude, looking at the look of anticipation on her face, you can tell that this woman wants to continue to stay on the stage.
Guo Zhenhua nodded without much hesitation, otherwise he would not have agreed to Yang Luming's role as a pillar in Lichi.
Lichi is now a white rice fish industry. With his relationship with Chu Xiangqian, he will definitely not let anyone bully Yang Luming.
After the business was settled, when filming resumed in the afternoon, Guo Zhenhua was probably in a good mood, and his literary and acting performance actually improved a lot.
Many literary dramas were filmed one after another.
The director said with great anticipation midway through, "Boss, it looks like it can be finished in half a month. Do you have a script for the second part of Futon in mind?"
Of course Chu Xiangqian has it, and there are at least dozens of them in his mind. In the next twenty or thirty years, there will be hit romance films in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea.
Just listening to the director's wishes, he might have come up with a script himself.
He smiled and asked, "Do you have any good ideas, or a rough script for Futon 2?"
The director who was told what he had in mind scratched his head and said, "I do have some ideas. Boss, if you are interested, after the film is finished, I can write out the script and you can take a look at it?"
"Okay." Chu Xiangqian was happy to see the success. Not to mention the current Hong Kong film and television industry, even in the 1980s and 1990s, scripts could not be sold at high prices.
And if the script written by the director is really good, the filmed effect will often be better.
The most important thing is that the cost of a Yi Yi Feng Yue film is only 50,000 to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. No matter how bad the box office is, the loss will not be much.
The director was overjoyed. If the boss thought the script he wrote was good, then the director would definitely be his.
When I think about it, if three consecutive movies make a lot of money, then I can be considered a gold medal director in the entertainment industry in the future.
At that time, I naturally didn’t worry about not having a movie to shoot.
Maybe if someone invests in me, I can still enjoy being a boss.
Fortunately, after the director got excited, he quickly realized that the movie he was filming now was actually the focus.
Otherwise, even if there is a third movie, I will most likely be limited to movies of the romantic genre.
After completing another day of shooting, Chu Xiangqian also spent some time watching the rough cut of the plot that had been shot yesterday and edited overnight.
After you feel good about it, take away all the tapes and master tapes to avoid being tricked by someone, setting fire to the film, or taking it away.
This is really not an unfounded worry. Back then, Huang Baiming was almost snatched away by people from the club who had just made a movie.
Fortunately, he was lucky. A dozen short mules rushed into the company and mistakenly took the film of another movie as their target.
