Chapter 408: Overseas Distribution Copyright
Directed by Lin Xiaoguang and starring Jing Boran and Cheng Yanxi, the madness and insistence on youth in the movie "Those Years" adapted from the same name of Nine Knives resonated with the audience, and the box office and word-of-mouth soared.
The local box office has reached 300 million Taiwan dollars (about 64.5 million yuan) in Mosswan, becoming the No. 1 Chinese film on the list of Chinese film history in Mosswan.
As of the evening of August 20, the cumulative box office reached 59.08 million Hong Kong dollars (about 48 million yuan), and the box office still received 240,000 Hong Kong dollars that day.
At present, the film has surpassed the third place in the Chinese box office record of the Hong Kong Film Industry, with a total box office of 57.51 million Hong Kong dollars (about 47 million yuan), and "The Simple Mission of Police Story" starring Cheng Long, and is heading towards "Shaolin Football" directed by Stephen Chow with a total box office of 60.73 million Hong Kong dollars (about 49 million yuan), ranking second.
As for whether it can reach the top of the list and pull down "Kung Fu", which has the highest total box office in Hong Kong history at 61.27 million Hong Kong dollars (about 50 million yuan), it depends on whether the film has tenacity.
The box office explosion of "Those Years" in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places has also made many film companies from West Asia and Singapore come to discuss the introduction of the film with Huayi Brothers.
This morning.
Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Zhonglei had a brief communication in the office about the overseas copyright of "Those Years".
"Xiaoguang, after discussion by the board of directors, we plan to sell the overseas distribution rights of "Those Years" to Columbia for $5 million, do you have any objections?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhonglei, you are the president of the company, what advice can I have on this matter, business matters, you and the eldest brother are in charge, I am only responsible for making the movie well." ”
"However, this Colombian company is worthy of being a large international company, and it is quite generous, so it is willing to spend such a high price to release this movie?"
Huang Zhonglei sneered and said: "Colombia is generous, how can the capitalists in the world be generous, Xiaoguang, don't you know, before the movie was released, I wanted to sell this movie to him for 1 million US dollars, they were good, they felt that our film had no market abroad, so they sent the copy of the movie back to our company intact." ”
“……”
Knowing that Lin Xiaoguang came to the company early this morning, and Feng Xiaowan was busy preparing for the new movie, he had no time to hang out with him, Huang Zhongjun was bored at home, so he simply chose a day to hit the day, and asked Lin Xiaoguang to be a guest at his house.
In other words, in Huang Zhongjun's 7-acre courtyard and 2-storey European-style building, there are all kinds of bronze sculptures and modern Chinese oil paintings, and the houses built of gray and white stone and the spacious courtyard show a strong Western style.
Moreover, more than 500 trees have been planted in the courtyard of Huang Zhongjun's house, including many ancient trees with a history of more than 100 years.
As in the past, every time Lin Xiaoguang came to Huang Zhongjun's house to visit and walk in the yard, his eyes would be attracted by these ancient trees that could not be named on the road.
Lin Xiaoguang asked with interest: "Big brother, where did you get these ancient trees from?"
Huang Zhongjun said as he walked: "Xiaoguang, don't underestimate these trees, every tree in my garden has a story, and this is what home looks like, and there are my own thoughts in it everywhere." ”
Lin Xiaoguang didn't speak, thinking about the meaning of Huang Zhongjun's words.
After a pause, Huang Zhongjun stopped, pointed to a rose not far away, and said to Lin Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, you see that hundred-year-old crape myrtle, which I specially transplanted from your south. ”
Lin Xiaoguang stared at the rose and muttered, "How much does a hundred-year-old rose cost?"
After hearing this, Huang Zhongjun said proudly: "For successful people of our level, money is usually not a big problem, the key is how to spend money to enjoy life, like why am I willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a tree? Because it makes my courtyard immediately have a kind of vitality, making our family's life more interesting." Spend money, it makes our lives more comfortable, you know?"
"Understood, big brother. Lin Xiaoguang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said: "By the way, big brother, don't you still have a horse farm in the suburbs? Why haven't I seen you in the horse farm every time I go?"
Huang Zhongjun said with a smile: "Xiaoguang, it is impossible to ride a horse every day, but because I have raised dozens of horses and spent tens of millions, if I don't ride, I feel sorry for my investment, so when I have time, I will occasionally ride it." ”
"Actually, I am riding a horse now sometimes like completing a task, after all, I am in my forties, I need to exercise, for a man, I think it is a problem not to exercise at all, although you are still very young, but for the sake of health, I suggest that you can also exercise more when you have time. ”
"Big brother, I know that I was so busy some time ago that I didn't have time to exercise at all, and now that I'm free, I'll go to exercise. ”
However, there was one thing that Lin Xiaoguang couldn't figure out very much, and asked suspiciously: "Since the eldest brother doesn't like to ride horses very much, why do you still have so many horses?"
Huang Zhongjun laughed: "It's purely impulsive, hobby, I think the horse is good-looking." Others think it's aristocratic life, but at least I haven't thought about it that way, I don't want to show off, I think it's enjoying life, at least having this ability, only with this ability can you say, oh, this is enjoyment. In addition, I circled 300 acres of land to build a horse farm, mainly to realize my manor dream. ”
"Manor dream?" Lin Xiaoguang looked at Huang Zhongjun puzzled.
To be honest, the once poor life did limit Lin Xiaoguang's imagination to a certain extent.
Back then, when he was playing tricks in Hengdian, Lin Xiaoguang's dream was to have filming, a stable income, and be able to afford a house and a car, which is almost like this.
But in the past few years, with the continuous improvement of status and money, Lin Xiaoguang has already fulfilled his dream back then, but he has fallen into a deeper confusion.
Although as an actor, Lin Xiaoguang's popularity has declined slightly in the past two years, and he has not won any substantive awards in movies, but after all, he still filmed popular TV series such as "The Condor Heroes" and "Happiness Like Flowers", and even won the Golden Eagle Emperor with the performance of "Butterfly Flying" early.
As for being a director, "People in Embarrassment" will not be mentioned for the time being, but the total box office of the movie "Those Years" directed by Lin Xiaoguang has already reached 400 million in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
But Lin Xiaoguang is only 28 years old this year, and he has reached the realm that many people dream of.
This sudden success also made Lin Xiaoguang at a loss, and he lost his motivation to move forward for a while, not knowing what he had to pursue next, what else he could pursue, and he felt that no matter how hard he worked to make the next movie, it would be difficult to achieve such a result.
"Yes, it's the manor dream!" Huang Zhongjun nodded, and then said: "Xiaoguang, you may not know my past, more than 20 years ago, when I was still working in the United States, my profession was driving food delivery, and what I envied most was those leisurely rich Americans who lived in that kind of big house." ”
"It's a few minutes to drive in, surrounded by green space surrounded by white railings, and a few big horses, it's great to stay there! I like that feeling so much, so if I have the ability, I also want to have this kind of life, and now that you are successful, you should also have the courage to pursue this kind of enjoyment of life!" Huang Zhongjun closed his eyes and whispered to Lin Xiaoguang to paint the picture of his dreams, and finally said that he slowly opened his eyes.
Huang Zhongjun patted Lin Xiaoguang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiaoguang, it's not that the eldest brother wants to criticize you, when it comes to enjoying life, you are far worse than Feng Xiaowan, and there are still many things to learn." ”
Lin Xiaoguang said with a smile: "That is, Director Feng has been with you for so many years, and he has been around you, and he must have learned a lot of ways to enjoy life." ”
