Wang Tianlin's film performed well, with a box office income of 74,000 Hong Kong dollars seven days after its release, which has almost recovered nearly half of the investment compared to the actual investment in the film.

And our fragment director has finally gotten rid of this title.

For the distribution of his films in Singapore and Malaysia, Yang Qiu naturally handed over all the well-cooperated Guangyi, and as for the distribution in the Wanwan area, as the domestic market gradually stabilized, there were obvious changes.

One is that there are more film distribution companies, especially private distribution companies, which have suddenly skyrocketed, from four two years ago to more than 30.

Of course, a large part of these distribution companies actually have nothing to do with Chinese films.

People are distributing American films......

In 1946, there were 219 Chinese films approved for release in the Wanwan area, and 87 American films, basically maintaining a two-to-one ratio between the two; but in November of this year, after Lao Jiang signed a contract with the United States, the situation changed 180 degrees.

Because Lao Jiang cannot destroy the "opinion" of "Sino-US relations", coupled with the more mature technology of Hollywood films, Chinese films are somewhat tragic.

By 1950, there were as many as 393 American films released in Wanwan, but less than 200 Chinese films, and the proportion of films completely dropped.

Now more than halfway through 1951, more than 290 American films have been released on the other side of the bay, and many 'optimistic' people estimate that this year's American films should exceed 500.

Congratulations!

Bah!

The Wanwan Film Business Co., Ltd., mentioned above, is an official Chinese film distribution company organized by the Taiwan government to coordinate cinema chains and film distribution under this situation of sluggish Chinese films.

It's just that due to the chaotic situation in the past few years, this 'Taiwan Shadow' company has not made any good results.

Therefore, due to the gradual stabilization of the political situation and the loss of such a large film production base in the mainland, Taiwan Film Company has paid more and more attention to Xiangjiang, a film production area, for the sake of results.

It is rare, and the film has no violations, and it has successfully passed the review, and finally started the first agency distribution of Golden Harvest in the Wanwan area.

The prospect is very good.

What made Yang Qiu even happier was that the Frenchman York came to Xiangjiang again in person with a bill of exchange of 30,000 pounds.

This God of Wealth is here, can you not be happy!

Yang Qiu did his best to be a landlord and entertained him well, and after a few times of the enthusiasm and noise of your coming and going, York naturally proposed a plan to see Yang Qiu's new film.

It's just that......

"The story of a child and two stupid thieves?"

In the coffee lounge of the Peninsula Hotel, York spread his hands empty-handedly and asked curiously and helplessly, "Yang, can't you just talk about it in detail?" Or just show me the script?"

"NONONO!" Yang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said with a smile: "Mr. York, this is a trade secret, and I won't easily reveal it until the film comes out." ”

"Hey, Yang, you don't believe me!" said York, pretending to be angry.

"Mr. York, believe me, if there are fifty thousand pounds in front of you......" Yang Qiu picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip and said lightly: "You will too, try to take it by all means." ”

"No, it can't be. ”

"How impossible, Mr. York, I don't believe you'll ...... fifty thousand"

"No, no, Yang, I'm not saying I won't take the money. York shrugged his shoulders and said very bluntly: "Actually, until I got on the plane, I was always planning to run away with the 30,000 pounds, you don't know the torment in my heart at that time, so if I had 50,000 pounds in front of me, I think I would definitely not let it go." ”

“So？”

"So I can't say it's possible, it's that your film will sell for fifty thousand pounds. York leaned back in his chair and said as a matter of course: "You know, you can make 30,000 pounds from this movie because people don't go to see you, but to see Charlotte." ”

"But this time I succeeded, didn't I? next time, they'll come to see me. ”

"But this can't make 50,000 pounds, maybe there won't be 20,000 by then, and no Chinese film has ever made so much money with us. York was still stubborn.

Yang Qiu smiled and said, "There has never been a Chinese film that has earned 30,000 pounds from you, Mr. York." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Mr. York, records are meant to be broken!" Yang Qiu smiled calmly, crossed his legs and looked at York, "Besides, I still want to try this new movie in the United States, maybe by then, it will be more than 50,000 pounds." ”

“……”

York opened his mouth dumbly, but did not say anything, and finally had to helplessly pick up the coffee cup, raise his hand and salute: "Then, Yang, I wish your new film a big hit, and by the way, I wish us success in Sinai!"

"Thank you. Yang Qiu took a sip of coffee, and suddenly asked casually, "Is Mr. York leaving tomorrow?"

"No, although Mr. Chaplin has a lot of criticism in England, I still want to go back as soon as possible and release your Xiangjiang Charlot as soon as possible. York casually explained.

Yang Qiu nodded and said clearly, "Oh, that's a bit of a pity." ”

"How?"

"I've got a new film coming out in a few days, well, the Chinese version of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and if Mr. York stays a few more days, he can experience our Chinese culture. ”

"Haha, thank you, but I want to ......" York paused, looked at Yang Qiu and said freely: "Yang, if your next new film is successful, this Chinese version of 'Romeo and Juliet', I will definitely see it in the future." ”

"Thank you, Mr. York, for your good words!"

York came and went quickly, and flew back to France after only staying in Xiangjiang for four days, leaving Yang Qiu with only 30,000 pounds and an empty word for future cooperation.

Sinai, before Yang Qiu's reputation was stable, was naturally a company that didn't see rabbits and eagles.

After that, Yang Qiu took the bill of exchange to HSBC in Xiangjiang and exchanged it for Hong Kong dollars. As a result, Jiahe Company's net worth at this time suddenly almost doubled.

Then, Li Ying, who was fighting the autumn wind, came to the door.

The title of this fundraising film that Li Ying wants to make is about a cliché story about a rich lady and a poor boy falling in love.

To put it simply, the plot is another Chinese version of 'Romeo and Juliet'.

However, unlike And, the ending is good, the hero and heroine go through many hardships, and finally come together.

In Yang Qiu's opinion, this script basically has no characteristics, it is not too good, but it is not bad.

It's definitely a pretty mediocre film.

Although the box office of the mediocre film is not a big hit, it is definitely safe, and it seems that Li Ying still put some thought into the choice of films.

What makes Yang Qiu even more admirable is that Li Ying also invited Hong Wei to play a role in the movie.

Is this a disguised way to let Hongwei work so that she can forget the pain?

Yang Qiu didn't know.

So out of help to Sister Hong, Yang Qiu also supported the investment in this film and asked Li Ying to take 60,000 yuan from him.

Wait a minute!

What kind of movie can be made for 60,000 yuan?

Cantonese fragments have a lot of money, and Chinese films are not enough!

But don't forget, Li Ying also found Boss Zhang Shankun Zhang, and even got 40,000 yuan from him.

But more importantly, this time Zhang Shankun was obviously a little worried about Li Ying, and after discussing with Yang Qiu, he sent his wife Ms. Tong Yuejuan to be the producer of this movie.

Completely financially, I saw Li Ying dead!

Li Ying was very indignant about this, and complained to Yang Qiu for a long time.

But......

Li Ying, Yang Qiu is not at ease!
