This kicked off the film's tour in Asia.
Li Yu and the leading actors have to go through every country and region, hold premieres, watch movies, and be interviewed by reporters, repeating the same process.
It can be said that they have watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the most times, at least ten times per person.
Even so, you have to watch it carefully every time, and you can't desert, being photographed by reporters will have a negative impact.
You don't even watch your own movies, how can you attract the audience.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has received different responses in various places.
The audience in Xiangjiang was very cold, but the critics were more pertinent and did not criticize it aggressively.
Because of Lee, the audience of Treasure Island is quite enthusiastic, attracting audiences from different social classes into the theater, setting a box office record in the Treasure Island area.
The response from Southeast Asian countries has been enthusiastic, and it has achieved good box office results.
This gave Columbia Pictures the confidence to step up its promotional efforts, build momentum in Asia, and then enter the European market in preparation for the European promotion in August.
When the news reached China, this phenomenon of flowering inside the wall and incense outside the wall sparked discussions.
Some people still insist that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed for Westerners, and they believe that Southeast Asian countries are greatly influenced by the West and have the same aesthetic as Westerners.
Some people also reflect on why domestic films can't go out, and why can "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" be popular?
Is it because of Li Yu, or is it because of the movie itself?
This question is not answered for the time being, and it needs to be verified by continuous practice.
Lin Zixuan doesn't care much about these news, no matter how high the overseas box office is, Haomeng Company can't share the money, they signed a copyright sales contract, not a box office account sharing agreement.
Lin Zixuan wanted to sign a box office account sharing agreement, but the theater chains in those countries did not agree.
This involves the international distribution of films.
In the case of Hollywood studios, there are two ways for their films to enter the film markets of other countries, one is copyright buyout, and the other is box office sharing.
Before '94, Hollywood films entered China through copyright buyouts.
The buyout price of a Hollywood movie is about $20,000, and they are all old movies that are not of high quality.
This price is not attractive to Hollywood studios.
In '94, Huaguo began to adopt the method of sharing accounts to introduce Hollywood blockbusters, and the proportion of account sharing was 17 percent.
If domestic films want to be sold abroad, they are all bought out at a low price.
There are two reasons for this, one is that domestic film companies do not have global distribution channels, and there is no direct connection with theaters in other countries.
It can only be sold to intermediary film distributors, and then the film distributors will promote and distribute it to theaters in those countries.
Another reason is that domestic film companies and domestic films are not well-known and do not have a brand effect.
When it comes to Hollywood's Warner and Fox studios, everyone knows that when it comes to Good Dreams, people have never heard of it.
That's the branding, the reputation that has been built up with countless blockbuster films around the world.
When Good Dream has this reputation, it can discuss box office sharing with theaters in other countries.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a business card that opened the Western film market, allowing Good Dream to get the ticket.
When "Hero" is released overseas, Lin Zixuan will try to do this work.
At this time, there was another thing that caused heated discussions in the media, Han Han went through the withdrawal procedures on the eve of the summer vacation.
He failed many of his classes and had little interest in studying.
The media is critical of Han Han's withdrawal from school, and they don't think Han Han will have a bright future.
One day, Han Han will regret the choice he made today.
In fact, there are not a few middle school students who drop out of school to work in China, and most of them are due to family poverty.
The imperfect education system, the uneven distribution of educational resources, the backwardness of education in rural areas, and the arrears of teachers' salaries are the problems that need to be solved urgently in the field of education.
However, Han Han dropped out of school not because his family was poor, but because he didn't want to go to school, which was the main reason for media criticism.
The teacher asked him what you would do if you quit school now and what you would live on in the future.
Han Han replied that it was based on manuscript fees.
The manuscript fee of domestic publishing houses is generally settled once every six months, and there are also once every three months, depending on the contract signed between the writer and the publishing house.
In July, Han Han just got his manuscript fee, which was more than 300,000 yuan.
After getting the manuscript fee, Han Han did not bury himself in creation at home, but bought the latest Fukang.
Since Fukang was introduced to China in 92, it has become the main brand in the domestic mid-range car market.
It is cost-effective, good after-sales service, belongs to the economic model, it and Santana, Jetta is the first choice for people to buy cars, known as the "old three" of the car market.
Each of these three cars has its own advantages, the Santana is practical, the Jetta is fast, and the Beverly is stylish.
The price of the new Beverly hatchback model launched in May '99 is 164,000 yuan, and the sedan model is 188,000 yuan, which is suitable for middle-income families.
With the development of the domestic economy, private cars have entered ordinary people's homes.
Especially in big cities, traffic jams are gradually becoming the norm for travel.
The rapid growth of private cars has led to a boom in the business of driving schools, which has bred all kinds of chaos.
It is particularly easy to get a driver's license in these two years, as long as you pay the money, the driving school and the vehicle management have all the relationship, and they are responsible for finding someone to take the test on their behalf to ensure that they can get the driver's license.
Han Han bought a car in Shanghai and drove all the way to the capital.
He drove to the capital not for a ride, but to modify.
The domestic modified car market has just started, and there are many rich children in Beijing who are drag racers, and it is best to come to Beijing if you want to modify the car, and there is a professional modified car market.
According to traffic regulations, modified vehicles are illegal to operate, and modified vehicles are not allowed on the road.
But the traffic police department basically doesn't care, and the people who can afford to modify cars these years are either rich or expensive, and they can't afford to provoke them.
After Han Han arrived in the capital, he found a good friend on the Internet and modified his Fukang car, and all the configurations were in accordance with the standards of racing cars.
Even to buy a car with modification, he spent 260,000 yuan.
Racing is a luxury game.
Before becoming a salaried professional driver, you need to pay out of pocket to buy a car, modify a car, practice a car, maintain a car, and every ring.
In the modified car link alone, the price of a professional racing shock absorber is between 100,000 and 200,000.
A tire costs more than 3,000 yuan, and three of them will be replaced after a basic trial, and you can't afford to play without millions of assets.
At this time, Han Han didn't know this, he just liked the feeling of driving a racing car.
Driving his modified car and speeding through the roads of the capital, he thought it was cool to live like this.
