"Whew... It's really hard to deal with those foreign devils. When the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport and got off the plane, Zhao Xiaojun let out a breath and said.

"Hehehe, your English is so bad, I can't even hear it." Zhou Xiaoxun quipped.

"Uh... Heh, hehe. In the face of Zhou Xiaoxun's teasing, Zhao Xiaojun was speechless, so he had to smile wryly.

"Lao Zhao, you have to learn English, I have already helped you open the door in Los Angeles this time, and next time you need to invite the Hollywood team, you will go alone." After a while, Xu Jing said again: "Well, it's better for everyone to learn, it is estimated that many movies will have to cooperate with the Hollywood technical team in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll invite a few foreigners to run an English training class in the company when I go back." Zhao Xiaojun replied calmly.

On this trip to Los Angeles, among several people, even Zhou Xiaoxun was simply bilingual in school, only Zhao Xiaojun almost didn't understand English at all, and even if he held back a few words, it was confusing.

He should have been the main person in charge of the behind-the-scenes work, but because he didn't understand English, he was a foil for almost the whole process. Although I have several years of crew experience, even alone. organized the preparation of "Killer", and it still made him feel the narrowness of his vision and lack of ability, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because of the long time away and the long journey of the plane, as soon as he returned to the company, Zhou Xiaoxun lay tired and fell asleep in Xu Jing's office. After covering her with a blanket, Xu Jingcai left the office and walked to Lin Jianguo's side, leaving for more than ten days, and the company also had a lot of things waiting to be understood.

"These days, Xinbao has sent all the box office reports here, and it is estimated that he will be able to set a record today!" Seeing Xu Jing coming in, Lin Jianguo said happily. After tasting the sweetness of selling rights in North America, he plunged into work as soon as he came back, and this investment in movies is much more profitable than smuggling in previous years.

Xu Jing took the report, the box office data above was still the day before yesterday, the total box office was 36.86 million yuan, and it was still 200,000 yuan away from the 37.09 million record of "Eight Star Annunciation" at the beginning of the year.

"It's no problem to break the record, and it's still a few days away." Xu Jing was also quite satisfied with the result, and continued: "You can contact those overseas film companies and talk to them about copyright." ”

"Don't worry, it's already booked." Lin Jianguo said with a smile: "Although it is not as valuable as the US dollar, it is estimated that tens of millions are not a problem." ”

Speaking of which, at this time, the copyrights of Hong Kong films in Asia are actually not sold very much, for example, the average Hong Kong film imported by South Korea every year is only one hundred or two hundred thousand, the reason is funny, because many Hong Kong film companies sell films in packages, usually one or two good films are sold together with seven or eight or even a dozen shoddy bad films.

Because most of the bad films are low-cost, they can make a lot of money by relying on the Waifu market alone, resulting in many film companies selling the film copyright before the film has been made, which is also an important factor in the decline of Xiangjiang Film's loss of overseas markets.

Lin Jianguo dares to say that it can sell at least tens of millions, but naturally Jiuzhou Company only sells high-quality single films, especially "Killer" is still such a Hong Kong annual box office champion film that has caused huge repercussions. Compared with the original time and space in 91, the kung fu film starring Li Lianjie can sell 10 million in Taiwan Island alone, and the copyright fee of 30 million in 92 is much underestimated.

"It's on the Taiwan Island, although the strictness has been lifted there, but the film and television management is still relatively chaotic, and no one dares to take this risk to buy our films. It's a bit of a shame to miss such the largest market. ”

The lifting of martial law on Taiwan refers to the lifting of the order issued by Chiang Jingguo in 87 to lift the ban on Taiwanese people, especially those who came to Taiwan with the Kuomintang in that year, to return to the mainland. However, although the state government has not recognized the legitimacy of the republic at this time, although the law has been lifted. Due to the identities of Xu Jing and Zhou Xiaoxun as mainlanders, it is normal that no one takes the risk of buying the copyright of "Killer".

Xu Jing remembers that in 8.9 years, Golden Harvest invited Li Lianjie to shoot "New Raptors Across the River", but he also gave up because he could not be released in Taiwan as a mainlander, and it was not until 91 that he starred in "Huang Feihong" was allowed to be released on Taiwan, but people still couldn't go to Taiwan Island to promote it for some reasons, and only made a way to promote the film through satellite broadcasting. Li Lianjie also caused a lot of turmoil because of that incident.

"If you don't have it, you can't do it, there's nothing to be sorry about." For the Taiwan market, Xu Jingman doesn't care, he can't give up his nationality for the sake of the Taiwan market, right?

"Although we have not been able to open the Taiwan market, we may be able to open another market. Hehe. Lin Jianguo smiled mysteriously again.

"Another market ... Outback? Xu Jing couldn't help but look at Lin Jianguo and said in surprise.

"Yes, have you forgotten the "Chinese Heroes" the year before last?"

"Chinese Hero" Xu Jing naturally knows that this is Li Lianjie's first attempt to direct and act in a film called "Invincible Boy" in the mainland. When he proposed filming, he received the support of high-level leaders in the mainland, and it can be said that he wanted people to give people, guns to guns, and even called famous doctors from all over the country to diagnose and treat him when he was seriously ill, so he completed the shooting. The production company of the film is also Heung Kong Company, which belongs to the category of co-production like "Hitman".

But co-production does not mean that it can be released in the mainland, at this time, it is called co-production more because of the films filmed by Heung Kong Company in the mainland, and most of the co-productions still cannot be released in the mainland, so Xu Jing naturally does not think so much.

"We are different from him, he has too much influence in the mainland, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure." Xu Jingke does not think that his identity as a mainlander can be compared with Li Lianjie's influence in the mainland. Even if you use some of the relationships left by Yang Laosan, you may not be able to match those lines with those departments, after all, the military and cultural departments have little to do with it at all.

"You don't have to go to the mainland to run relations, you can do it in Xiangjiang." Lin Jianguo smiled mysteriously.

"You mean the Yindu Agency?"

Lin Jianguo nodded.

In 82 years, Yindu Institution was formed by the merger of Great Wall Film Production Co., Ltd., Phoenix Film Company, Xinlian Film Company, etc. Although it belongs to Heung Kong Company, it is a state-owned film company in China, and it is the only large-scale state-owned film enterprise outside China Film, whose main purpose and mission is to shoot progressive films, distribute domestic films, and unite the Hong Kong industry.

It is commendable that the films produced by Yindu can be directly distributed in the mainland market, and the films they shoot can be shot directly without the approval of the mainland Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. If you can open up the way of Yindu institutions, it is not impossible to release "Killer" in the mainland market.

"You can try it." Xu Jing frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, and then continued: "However, it is okay to send a deleted version when you send samples to Yindu Institution." ”

"Are you afraid... Xiao Xun's parents... Looking at Xu Jing with a serious face, Lin Jianguo suddenly had a smile on the corner of his mouth, squeezed his eyebrows and quipped.

"Uncle! Where do you want to go! It's the mainland atmosphere that can't accept the full version at all. "Rao is Xu Jing has always behaved like a cheng. The age is average, and the old face is not red at this time.

"Heh, hehe, I'll talk about it, I'll talk about it." Lin Jianguo smiled wryly.

In fact, Lin Jianguo didn't mean to make fun of Xu Jing about this, but since the reunion, I have seen that Xu Jing is not a young man at all except when he is with Zhou Xiaoxun, but more like a middle-aged man who has gone through vicissitudes.
