Chapter 301: I Like Both
Under the premise of Yusuke Okada as the translator, Ye Jingcheng and Shigeru Okada had a very happy conversation. The latter also promised to use Toei's greatest resources to promote the pre-release work of "True Colors of Heroes", and will also move the screens of Toei's thirteen theaters to release the film.
"Ye Sang, you are really. It's long overdue to have a good movie like this, it's a lot better than the funny movies you've had before. After the talks, Yusuke Okada said with a look of blame while sending Ye Jingcheng out.
"I haven't had a solid foundation before, and the platform is not strong enough, making this kind of film will be risky, and it is easy to waste film resources." Ye Jingcheng explained
Yusuke Okada nodded cooperatively, he understood Ye Jingcheng's words, Ye Jingcheng did this for nothing more than the consideration of the local market. In other words, he will also choose to stabilize the local box office first, and then consider overseas releases.
The two talked while walking, and the topic turned to the box office of the movie, and Yusuke Okada asked, "Ye San, do you want to guess the final box office?" ”
"Hmm......" Ye Jingcheng pondered for a few seconds and replied: "On Hong Kong Island, there is about 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office." As for the island nation...... I think it's about one billion yen. ”
"Billion! Ye San, you're not kidding, are you? Yusuke Okada was surprised.
One billion yen is equivalent to nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and Ye Jingcheng's answer really surprised Yusuke Okada.
Yusuke Okada lacks knowledge of the 30 million Hong Kong dollar box office movie on Hong Kong Island, but he is clear about the difficulty of creating a billion-yen box office movie on the island country, and it is also a non-local production of zuò film.
In his impression, only kung fu superstar Bruce Lee has such achievements. Basically, every Bruce Lee movie can break through the box office of one billion, and the highest one, "Enter the Dragon", is even as high as 3 billion.
But after Bruce Lee, there has been no such brilliant achievement. It's not that no one on Hong Kong Island came to find a distribution agent, but the results of the Chinese films released have plummeted, and basically they can only create a box office of 100 million or 200 million.
Until the end of the previous year, "Serpentine Trickster" starring Cheng Long achieved a box office of 1.1 billion, breaking the silence of Chinese films in recent years. Because of this reason, Toei, who had struggled a few years ago, fell into the suppression of Toho again.
If the "True Colors of Heroes" provided by Ye Jingcheng can really break through the billion mark, it can be regarded as exhaling and raising eyebrows for Toei, at least it is no longer passive in the face of Toho.
"Don't you want that kind of result?" Ye Jingcheng smiled to himself.
The original time and space "The True Color of Heroes" only has a box office of less than 300 million in the island country, and this achievement can only explain one problem.
It's just that the overseas distribution of the Golden Princess is really too weak, and it is undeniable that the island country is more keen on kung fu films, but for a country where the community is legalized, it is impossible for a genre film like "The True Color of Heroes" to have such a few achievements.
Or Lei Juekun's subordinates do not have a person who is sociable and has the ability to explore overseas markets. The leaders of Mecca in Xinyi City have been busy fighting for power and film production, and Princess Jin's superiors and subordinates are basically laymen.
This problem is also the biggest death hole for the golden princess in the future, because it can't win the overseas box office, which is the majority of the company's operation, and the director can only grab the local box office as much as possible.
Once the local box office fails, once or twice is not a big deal, three or four times will definitely start to shake internally, and five or six times it is easy to have poor management or even go out of business.
In fact, Ye Jingcheng's situation is not much better, but he himself came to the island country to negotiate, which is enough to make the film company here feel this sincerity. And he is not like Lei Juekun who is a layman, as long as he grasps a degree, the chance of negotiating with the film company here is naturally much greater.
Sometimes Ye Jingcheng really can't help but want to give Lei Juekun a reminder, persuading him to do business in a down-to-earth manner, as for the theaters under the other party's name, Ye Jingcheng should be a good person, renting or buying or reluctantly merging them into the Southern Cinema Line.
Speaking of this aspect, Golden Harvest's overseas market has indeed done very well, and it has completely become a magic weapon for Zou Wenhuai. Even if he was pressed by the Shaw Brothers for nearly ten years, Shao Yifu couldn't grind this hundred-legged insect to death.
Even the profound Shaw Brothers Pictures, whose overseas distribution power is not as good as that of Golden Harvest. Not to mention other regions, Golden Harvest's distribution power in the island country alone has surpassed Shaw Brothers' box office powerhouse New Malaysia and Thailand.
Although Ye Jingcheng's statement made Yusuke Okada a little uneasy, he was still a little skeptical that he gave this number.
It's not that Yusuke Okada doesn't want to have such achievements, it's that the international popularity of Green Lantern Entertainment is too low, and there is no figure like Chenglong who can be used as a signboard. The audience's awareness of this company is not enough, so it is naturally impossible to gather a box office appeal.
Even though Toei is optimistic about this movie called "The True Color of Heroes", they have preliminary box office estimates. They have been satisfied that the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" has reached 500 million, and most of the movies released by Ye Jingcheng before can only receive a box office of about 200 million.
"Goo~" A discordant voice was intending to talk to the two.
It turned out that the two girls who had been following them, waiting for their fate, came out of their bellies with a hungry protest.
Glancing at the girl who was still pitiful, Ye Jingcheng changed the topic and asked, "Okada, can you talk about the situation of these two girls now?" ”
"Well...... Okada Yusuke knocked his chin and said with a smile, "Actually, it's a gift for Ye San." ”
"Gifts?" Ye Jingcheng didn't expect that the other party would give him two big living people as gifts.
"You weren't satisfied with the woman who came to entertain Ye Sang the first two times, so this time I specifically targeted your taste......" Yusuke Okada showed a look that you know, and said: "Speaking Ye Sang, which one do you prefer?" ”
"Ahem!" Ye Jingcheng said seriously: "I like both." ”
"This ......" This answer also made Yusuke Okada a little unable to react, what about the traditional Chinese virtues that are good? What about the subtle humility that is good?
Well, in fact, he is reluctant to let these two little beauties go. These two girls are both smooth and tender peaches, and they are also the objects of Toei's key training, and it hurts him to send one out, not to mention that Ye Jingcheng actually wants both.
"I appreciate Ye Sang's confession." Yusuke Okada said with a little sympathy.
In fact, he felt very uncomfortable, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still made up his mind, and these two girls should be used to stabilize the relationship between him and Ye Jingcheng. As for your own needs, you can always find a beautiful embryo if you find someone to search for it, but it takes a while to cultivate.
Took the two girls to eat something, and then returned to the dormitory of the Nakamori family, facing the arrangements of the two girls in the future, Ye Jingcheng rubbed the back of his neck and decided...... (To be continued.) )
