Chapter 91: The First Step into the World

The reason why Ye Qianwen is going to Taiwan is because her new album "Ye Qianwen II" has been released this year, although there are only two songs by Zhang Xiaoye in it, but the popularity is not low at all.

After winning a lot at the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Zhang Xiaoye's reputation in the music world has reached a higher level, and the two songs she created herself are enough, not to mention that Ye Qianwen is already the most popular female singer, and her popularity has long been incomparable, and the attention will naturally not be low.

This album has sold six platinums in Xiangjiang at present, and the stamina is still very strong, and the Xiangjiang market can be completely assured after a round of songs, and the next is naturally the Taiwan market.

She came here today, just because she was about to be separated for a short time, so she deliberately came to take a temporary farewell, who knew that Zhang Xiaoye actually said that she was going to Taiwan, which was an unexpected joy.

Joy is joy, but he still can't help asking: "Why are you suddenly going to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards? ”

"You have to come back to the Academy Awards, your record needs to be promoted, and of course my films are the same. Zhang Xiaoye said: "Taiwan's film companies discussed with me, and I think a trip will help the box office, and I think it is necessary, so this time not only Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and even Japan and South Korea will go to it." ”

It is very common for the main creators of later generations to go everywhere to promote the movie, because there are too many places that need to be promoted, so they will be divided into several batches, and the main important roles will go to places with a larger market, and the secondary market will be taken care of by other actors.

Even if it is only in China, in order to promote the main creator, it is often necessary to go to many cities in a short period of time to go to the roadshow, although the itinerary will not be easy at all, but it must be a lot, since you have entered the industry, you have to do it with a correct attitude.

Ye Qianwen nodded when she heard this, and said: "There is indeed such a need, but is it too much of a trip, and the general Xiangjiang movie promotion is mainly to go to Taiwan." ”

"That's because the specifications of other movies are not up to my level, and I don't plan to do it if it's a small or medium-sized production, but ace agents are different. In addition to spending a lot of money, the important thing is that this movie is our first shot to open the international market, and we have to show a corresponding attitude. ”

Ye Qianwen then said: "But the movie will also be released in the United States, is it possible that you will also go to the United States?"

Zhang Xiaoye shook his head and said: "I really discussed this matter with Brother Long, in fact, North America is the place I care about the most, but even Brother Long's popularity over there is still limited, and no one knows me at all, and it will be in vain to go, so I can only look at the will of God." ”

Overseas distribution has always been operated by Golden Harvest under the premise of Zhang Xiaoye's consent, and the North American market is the same, they have channels and connections in Hollywood, and have the ability to do this.

In the end, it was Twentieth Century Fox that was responsible for the North American distribution of "Ace Agent", and the company was also responsible for the North American distribution of "Cannonball Speed" of Golden Harvest in 81, and as one of the eight major Hollywood companies, there was no need to worry about their strength at all.

It's useless to go without popularity, and I dispelled the idea of going to the United States in person, but for publicity, Zhang Xiaoye still negotiated carefully with Twentieth Century Fox, no matter how strong it is.

Americans' favorite is science fiction, and they are also very interested in kung fu martial arts, "Ace Agent" accounts for both, and it is not worse than Hollywood movies in terms of being well-made, and Twentieth Century Fox itself is also very interested in movies, so the negotiations are also very smooth, and it is easy to reach an agreement on both the proportion of account sharing and publicity investment.

Of course, this is also related to Zhang Xiaoye's original low requirements, now is the first step out of the overseas market, no accumulation, no influence, no bargaining confidence, now people are uncles, and it is a last resort to suffer a small loss.

In a market like Japan and South Korea, Zhang Xiaoye completely took the initiative in the face of film companies, but he still had to work hard to do it in North America.

Xu Qiang and Jiahe arranged Zhang Xiaoye's itinerary together, because Chenlong really couldn't pull away, and even Li Shafeng still had ATV's TV series to shoot, so he had to go around to promote it most of the time.

As he spent more than half a month to promote, "Ace Agent" is now being released in various places, and he is tired enough during this time, but the hard work is worth it, and it is impossible to have such a good thing as sitting at home counting money, if you want to achieve it again, you have to work hard to catch it, and Chenlong can have the achievements of later generations because he is not afraid of playing with his life, and he is not lying down to succeed.

As he returned to Xiangjiang after the end of the promotion, he also brought back a series of records, "Ace Agent" broke the box office of Xiangjiang movies in all the Waifu markets, of which the RB box office was 3.87 billion, surpassing "Shaolin Temple".

In North America, even with blockbusters like "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", "Ace Agent" snatched more than 80 million US dollars, and the final global box office added up to 161 million, and more than 50 million fell into Zhang Xiaoye's pocket.

At the beginning, Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" caused a sensation all over the world, and the box office in the United States was only 25 million, Zhang Xiaoye broke this record, and it increased several times.

Of course, today is different from the past, the 73-year-old movie of "Enter the Dragon" cannot be compared simply with data in a single day, and the current more than 80 million will be placed in the future generations, which is equivalent to more than 200 million, right?

Zhang Xiaoye made a lot of money, so that the North American audience knew him for the first time, because of the success of "Ace Agent", Twentieth Century Fox even intended to take "Dream Essence" for distribution.

In addition to the box office, copyrights, video tapes, etc. are also a lot of income, and Zhang Xiaoye can make more money in the North American market, even if he doesn't calculate these carefully, after the news came back, it was already a sensation in Xiangjiang.

For a while, various media blew him into the sky again, saying that he was the real successor of Bruce Lee.

What everyone didn't expect was that Chenlong, who had always coveted Hollywood, finally knocked on the door with "Ace Agent".

Chen Long's previous kung fu films have a certain fan base in North America, but they don't care about their influence, and "Ace Agent" has brought more than 80 million box office, and it has also received rave reviews in North America, so she has been widely recognized by North American audiences.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoye is even worse, in Xiangjiang and even in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, maybe he can compete with Chenlong, and people will know that this is a Zhang Xiaoye movie.

But in North America, he didn't have any accumulation, and no one knew him before this, giving people the feeling that it was more like Chenlong taking him.
