Xiong Jingqi was very excited, and pulled Xu Wangqiu and said excitedly: "The use of simultaneous translation greatly reduces the viewing effect, but I still want to say, what kind of movie is this? How can you make it so well?"

Xu Wangqiu said modestly: "Mr. Kumai is too polite, there are still many places in the movie that are not good enough." ”

The Dongying delegation congratulated the main creators of the "Hoe Rape" crew: "Mr. Zhao Dan! Congratulations!" "It's really an amazing film, this is the most real war movie I've ever seen." "It's outstanding. ”

At this moment, Xu Wangqiu saw Tokuma Kang walking quickly to Ding Jianming's side and whispering something. Ding Jianming's eyes lit up after hearing Tokuma's words, nodded with a bright smile, and then whispered something. Xu Wangqiu estimated that Tokuma Yasukuai should be interested in "Hoe Rape", and Dongying's copyright was completed, but I don't know if there are other companies that are interested.

After ending the exchange with the Dongying delegation, Xu Wangqiu stopped Ding Jianming and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, I see that you have been muttering to Dejian just now, he should be more interested in "Hoe Rape", I wonder if other people are also interested?"

Although Ding Jianming had a fierce confrontation with Xu Wangqiu at the meeting, he still admired Xu Wangqiu very much: "Tokuma really wants the copyright of "Hoe Rape", and it is unlikely that other companies will buy "Hoe Rape", they have scruples about this matter. ”

Xu Wangqiu was slightly stunned: "Scruples, what scruples?"

Ding Jianming showed a smug smile, don't you kid know everything, it turns out that you don't know, and said in a low voice: "Taiwan." If they buy "Hoe Rape", they must be prepared for the deterioration of relations with Taiwan. Taiwan is a big market, and they will definitely not be willing to lose the Taiwan market for the sake of "Hoe Rape". ”

Xu Wangqiu remembered that Liang Jiahui went to the mainland to film, and later Taiwan's "Cultural Bureau" asked Liang Jiahui to write a letter of repentance, which could avoid being banned, but Liang Jiahui insisted that he was right and refused to repent, so no one in Xiangjiang asked Liang Jiahui to make films, so he was unemployed, and even reduced to setting up a stall. If these film companies buy the copyright of "Hoe Rape" and screen it in Dongying, it will offend Taiwan and lose the Taiwan market.

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "I used to admire Dejian, but now I admire him even more." ”

Ding Jianming nodded slightly and said: "In the first half of this year, Dejian came over to visit Xia Yan and Xia Gong, and Xia Gong gave him a painting with only two words on it - Haojie. This man is indeed remarkable, especially friendly to China, and he has always believed that the Dongying people have committed sins in China and should atone for their sins. However, he also has business considerations, and Dongying people have a habit of doing business, especially the rules. The Chinese market is the first place you came, and it is the way you have opened, so we recognize your status, and if I have any films to sell to China, it must be through you; if I want to go back and forth in China, I will also tell you. ”

Ding Jianming stared at Xu Wangqiu and said, "You came to me not only to care about "Hoe Rape", I'm afraid you have other ideas, right?"

Xu Wangqiu will definitely not say that he hopes to take the boat of Tokuma Yasui and export the movie to Dongying: "I have a script in my hand called "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished", I want to shoot in Dongying, hoping to use Dongying actors to play the role of Dongying, and the cost of the movie is very high, 12 million. But now it is a unified purchase and sales, and the cost of the film will exceed 900,000 yuan. The only way is to make a co-production with the Dongying people, and everyone will contribute half of the money, and the problem will be solved!"

Ding Jianming felt that the name "A Game of Unfinished Chess" was very familiar, and thought for a while: "It's the script of a Chinese playing chess with a Dongying person, and that script is quite suitable." It's just that now everyone is talking about the friendship between China and Japan, but you want to make a movie that reflects the Dongying people's invasion of China, which is a bit inappropriate!"

Xu Wangqiu frowned when he heard this: "Could it be that now that we emphasize Sino-Japanese friendship, we can forget the past?"

Ding Jianming was afraid that Xu Wangqiu would definitely be a traitor, so he hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I mean that you want to cooperate with the Dongying people, but you want to make a movie that reflects the Dongying people's invasion of China, isn't it appropriate?"

Xu Wangqiu said seriously: "There is nothing inappropriate, don't the Americans also shoot "Tiger and Tiger" with the Dongying people! Tokuma Yasukuai has always said that what the Dongying army has done in China is innumerable, and I think he should support it. ”

Ding Jianming thought about it and felt that it was really possible, so he said: "When you climb the Great Wall tomorrow, you can find a chance to talk to him." ”

The next day, Xu Wangqiu got up early in the morning and went to Badaling with the Dongying film delegation. Xiong Jingqi didn't communicate enough with Xu Wangqiu yesterday, so he pulled Xu Wangqiu to chat non-stop. Xu Wangqiu is extremely painful, I have something to do with Dejian, can I talk about it later!

Fortunately, when he arrived at Badaling and saw the Great Wall winding in the mountains, Xiong Jingqi didn't have the heart to talk about movies, and his attention was taken away by the magnificent scene in front of him.

Most of the members of the Dongying delegation saw the Great Wall for the first time, and they had only seen photos before, but looking at photos and seeing real scenes were completely different effects. They were all shocked, and their mouths couldn't help but let out exclamations.

Tokuma has been to China many times, and has been to the Great Wall several times, but he is very calm about this.

Xu Wangqiu took the opportunity to come to Tokuma Kangkuai and chatted with Tokuma Kangkuai: "Mr. Tokuma, I heard that you are going to buy the Dongying copyright of "Hoe Rape". Thank you very much, as a director, I always hope that my films will be seen by as many audiences as possible. "Hoe Rape" can meet the audience in Dongying, which is really exciting. ”

Tokuma said with a quick smile: ""The Hoe Rape is a good movie, and this style is unprecedented, cruel and real, I believe it will be very popular in Toei." ”

After chatting with Tokuma Kang Kuai, Xu Wangqiu said seemingly casually: "Your delegation's visit to the Great Wall reminds me of the script I wrote last year, and the final outcome is that the Dongying delegation visited China, and the two Chinese and Japanese chess players who experienced grievances and tribulations finally played blind chess on the Great Wall to complete the endgame more than 30 years ago." ”

Yasushi Tokuma was very interested and asked, "Can I hear this story of yours?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled lightly, thinking to himself, Dejian, Dejian, you are still in my middle school. He immediately told the story of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" in detail. Xu Wangqiu's "A Game of Unfinished Chess" is somewhat different from the original version, and this difference is mainly in the line of Guo Yishan's son Guo Aming. He felt that the original version of Guo Aming's experience was similar to Wu Qingyuan, and he was suspected of beautifying Wu Qingyuan, so he made some modifications. However, the overall direction of the whole story has not changed, reflecting the impact of the war on ordinary people through the vicissitudes of the two Go families of Guo Yishan and Songbo for 30 years.

Tokuma Yasushi was very shocked after listening to Xu Wangqiu's description, and the whole story has a large pattern, depicting the damage caused by the war to ordinary people through the changes of two families in the past 30 years. However, half of the whole story takes place in China and half of it takes place in Dongying, and it is difficult to do it by relying on China's strength alone if you want to really shoot it well.

Tokuma realized that Xu Wangqiu might want to cooperate with him when he told him this, and said quietly: "Have you considered co-production, where Japanese and Chinese artists will jointly shoot this film?"

Hearing Tokuma say this, Xu Wangqiu smiled: "Actually, I have this intention when I look for Mr. Tokuma, after all, the movie needs to be filmed in Dongying, and it is better to use Dongying actors for Dongying roles." ”

Tokuma Yasukuai also smiled: "I think we can cooperate." However, he immediately put away his smile, stared into Xu Wangqiu's eyes, and said slowly: "I don't know if you agree with other screenwriters to participate in the script revision, there is a lot of content in this movie Dongying, and you have not lived in Dongying, so you can't grasp many details." If we cooperate, I will invite screenwriters from Dongying to participate in the script writing. I wonder if you agree?"

Xu Wangqiu's memory of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" is relatively vague, and many of the contents are written by him based on memory and feeling. The Chinese part should be fine, but the RB part is difficult to say. Chinese audiences may not be able to see the flaws, but when it is released in Dongying, it must be full of mistakes and omissions. With the participation of Japanese screenwriters, this problem can be avoided. Without hesitation, he said, "Of course." ”

Tokuma Yasukai nodded slightly: "Then tonight, let's talk alone." ”

That night, Xu Wangqiu took the script and had an in-depth conversation with Tokuma Yasukuai about cooperation. The two parties agreed that after Tokuma brought "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" back to Dongying, he would find someone to translate it into Japanese as soon as possible, find a screenwriter to revise the script, and then talk to the Chinese side about co-production. However, because the Dongying Film Week was not only held in Beiping, but also in cities such as the magic capital, Tokuma Yasuai soon left Beiping, and Xu Wangqiu did not have more exchanges with him.

At the end of Dongying Film Week, Ding Jianming told Xu Wangqiu a good news that the copyright of "Hoe Rape" Dongying had been negotiated and was won by Tokuma Yasukuai for $800,000. Ding Jianming always thought that only Tokuma Yasukuai was interested in "Hoe Rape", but he didn't think that Shochiku and Rihuo were very interested in "Hoe Rape", and expressed their willingness to introduce this movie.

Dongyingren's idea is very simple, Xu Wangqiu's movie is very good, since he can make "Hoe Rape", he will definitely be able to make more movies in the future. As long as you win "Hoe Rape", you can cooperate for a long time in the future. Like Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" after its success in Dongying, Zhang Yimou's every movie will be released in Dongying, and the box office is good.

There were competitors, and Ding Jianming got the opportunity to raise the price, and "Hoe Rape" was finally sold for $800,000.

Xu Wangqiu was very excited when he heard the news, Dongying sold 800,000 yuan, and if it can sell 2 million in Cannes next year, then the film export company will really have a door. In addition to the excitement, Xu Wangqiu thought of another question: since he will go to Cannes next year, will he be able to bring the clips of "Falcon" to sell the film flowers at that time? If he can sell hundreds of thousands of films, will the film export company be more sure of this?

After thinking of this, Xu Wangqiu took Zhang Yimou and them to revise the script of "Falcon" even harder.

The time will soon enter the second half of September, and the 30th anniversary of the National Day is coming. Gift films from various film studios have been released one after another, among which "Hoe Rape" directed by Xu Wangqiu is the most optimistic, with 274 35mm copies released.

This number of copies ranks second in the history of Chinese films, and the first is "Mom Loves Me Again", with a whopping 347 copies. However, when "Mom Me Me Again" was first released, the number of copies was only 259, and 347 gradually increased with the popularity of the movie.

So far, "Mom Loves Me Again" has been released for two months, with 67.93 million viewers of 35mm film and 140 million viewers of 16mm film, and no 8mm copies have been released, and the total number of viewers has exceeded 200 million.

Xu Wangqiu doesn't know what kind of results "Hoe Rape" can achieve after its release, but he is very much looking forward to the performance of "Hoe Rape".
