Chapter 394 Overseas Sales (Two More Subscriptions!) )
He Mu Zhang Zilin has just completed the shooting of a set of cheongsam wedding photos on the beach, and when he was resting, He Mu looked at the clothes on Zhang Zilin's body, not to mention, the style of this dress is really beautiful, the combination of Chinese and Western, has a unique charm, especially when worn on Zhang Zilin, there is a different kind of beauty. Zhang Zilin told him that these clothes were basically designed by Zhang Yueyue independently, and she and Elena were just working on it, occasionally making some suggestions, so it seems that Zhang Yueyue's talent in clothing design is really not said, but He Mu still thinks that opening a company is just a game for three boring women, maybe just to experience the fun of being a female boss.
Holding Zhang Zilin's hand, He Mu said seriously, "No matter what you want to do in the future, I will fully support you, you need money to open a company, and if you don't have enough, you can take it directly from our card." Now He Mu and Zhang Zilin's finances have been jointly managed, as a woman majoring in business administration, Zhang Zilin's financial management ability is still quite good, He Mu's wealth is completely managed by Zhang Zilin, and has stepped into the ranks of receiving pocket money from his wife every month, but he kept an eye on it, and he also hid millions of private money in another account in case of emergency, if there are no special circumstances, there is no need to use this money.
Zhang Zilin rewarded He Mu with a sweet kiss, "Xie Lu Xie husband, my own money should be enough, I still have millions of savings over the years." The little rich woman said proudly.
Touching his still flat lower abdomen, Zhang Zilin said to He Mu, "Tomorrow we will go to the Inner Mongolian Grassland to take wedding photos." She was afraid that the doll in her belly would not have much time left for her, even if she couldn't hold a big belly during the wedding. But the wedding photo must be beautiful, their photographer is the top domestic photo photographer who took photos for Zhang Zilin before, and they also plan to travel all over China. Leave their love on various terrains such as beaches, grasslands, deserts, mangroves, etc., and the next stop is the grasslands and deserts of Inner Mongolia.
He Mu thought for a while, "Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I'm going to go abroad tomorrow." ”
"Glass Heart" is not a film with an international perspective and ambitions, and the feelings and thoughts expressed in the movie are not easily understood by people from other regional cultures, but He Mu still hopes that "Glass Heart" can try to get out of the shadows. Maybe he is not fully prepared, maybe he will hit a wall, but since he has taken the promotion of Chinese culture and the promotion of Chinese films as his life goal. Then you should go forward and do it, he believes that if you try, you may not succeed, and if you don't try, you will fail.
So He Mu contacted CJ Company, which had cooperated with "Very Perfect", and tried to export "Glass Heart" to South Korea through their channels. On the Japanese side, he has achieved a good job through "One Shot 147" and "Red Cliff. The promotion of "Next" has also accumulated some connections. These connections will help "Glass Heart" enter Japan, compared with the mainland film market, the entry threshold for foreign language films in Japan and South Korea is relatively low, and the number of foreign language films released in the two countries every year exceeds that of local films, but local films have more policy tendencies, so there is no need to worry about foreign language films becoming bigger, He Mu is planning to send "Glass Heart" to these two countries, and it may not be released in theaters at all. Just releasing DVDs or playing them on TV may not make any money at all. But it can have a certain impact, influencing some foreigners to pay attention to Chinese films and Chinese actors, even if they don't make money, it's worth it.
Of course, the copyright trading cooperation between these two countries is in charge of Xiao Lu, who is in charge of Shuimu Forest's overseas business, and He Mu is going abroad to Canada, and he took "Glass Heart" to the Toronto Film Festival.
This trip to Toronto was proposed by He Mu's brother-in-law Jeff, he has long been interested in He Mu's new film, at the beginning it was just a story synopsis and a poster that made him feel very interesting, in order to see the finished film, he suggested that He Mu bring the film to the Toronto Film Festival, which is one of the most well-known film trading markets in the world, it is not known for awards, but to serve the market, and it is also one of the important ways for American filmmakers to collect good foreign films.
He Mu is not familiar with life in Toronto, but fortunately there is Jeff who often comes here, formerly as a representative of MGM, and now as the spokesperson of Lionsgate, Jeff is a frequent visitor to Toronto, Sundance, Busan and other film festivals, with strong connections, with his sincere help, He Mu can avoid many detours.
In fact, He Mu is also a little famous in Canada, when his "One Shot 147" was released in North America, most of the box office was produced in the English-speaking part of Canada, and very few people watched this movie in the United States, and He Mude's Montreal International Film Festival is also the most important film event in Canada, so He Mu's popularity in Canada is higher than that in the United States, but he can still walk on the street with confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about someone harassing him, unless he particularly likes the audience of "One Shot 147", it is unlikely that ordinary people will recognize him.
After meeting Jeff, He Mu shared his joy of getting married and invited him and Sister Xuan to attend their wedding at that time.
"Oh, really, great, Xuan and I are planning to hold a ceremony this year, if you can find time, you must come and attend." Jeff also joined in the excitement and planned to officially marry Song Xuan, although their current life is no different from that of husband and wife, but they have not yet received God's blessing.
Then He Mu introduced Tao Funduo, the director of "Glass Heart", to Jeff, and this time He Mu specially brought Lao Tao as well, and more contact with excellent foreign works is beneficial to broaden his directorial thinking. Jeff and Tao have a lot of conversations, Tao is mostly a fan of horror films, and Lionsgate is known for its small budget and thrillers, and the company has many cult film series that are famous for small fights, such as the "Chainsaw" series, Jeff has a strong taste for picking films, and they have a lot of common language.
Because of his own weakness, He Mu did not invest too much publicity cost in "Glass Heart", plus this is a Chinese-language movie, so when this movie was released, the movie did not cause much sensation, and it was very problematic whether it could be sold.
He Mu doesn't care about the dull and almost unwavering expressions of those foreign audiences after watching the movie, he cares more about Jeff, an insider's evaluation of this film, Tao Quduo also looked at this foreigner who could talk to him eloquently in Chinese, and wanted to hear what he said about his directorial debut.
Jeff didn't rush to make an evaluation, he first asked He Mu, "How is this movie in China?" Good or bad movies, high or low box office? ”
