Chapter 186 Journey to the Island Country (1)

Next chapter

Kai Tak Airport. …

The flight to the island country has already begun to check in and board, and Ye Jingcheng is still lingering outside the departure hall at this time. Zhong Chuhong, who hadn't seen him for a while, asked a little angrily, "How long will you be going this time?" ”

"Three or five days." Ye Jingcheng knew that Zhong Chuhong was reluctant to let him go, after all, the two of them were too busy during this time, Ye Jingcheng was busy dealing with the company's affairs, and Zhong Chuhong was going to start a play because of the Shaw Brothers, and the last time the two met was more than half a month ago.

"Oh." Zhong Chuhong was perfunctory.

It's rare that both of them have spare space in the past few days, but I didn't expect Ye Jingcheng to have a temporary plan and have to fly to the island country. When he comes back, Shaw Brothers will definitely have a new play arranged for Zhong Chuhong, and Shaw Brothers is completely selling her previous reputation.

"When I come back, I'll help you get the contract between you and the Shaw Brothers, are you afraid that we won't have time to meet at that time?" Ye Jingcheng promised.

This matter dragged on for a while, and Ye Jingcheng originally planned to help Zhong Chuhong terminate the contract first. But think about it, even if he pays a sum of liquidated damages, the Shaw Brothers may not be willing to do good.

So he simply waited for the next time he saw Shao Yifu, and solved it together with the shares of wireless in his hand. It's just that this time the layout was more time-consuming than he originally expected.

"Ye Sheng, the formalities have been prepared, and there are still ten minutes left in the boarding time." At this time, Zeng Zhiwei, who had taken the first step to deal with the luggage and air tickets, came over, but reminded Ye Jingcheng that he was going to get on the plane at that time.

"It's time for me to get on the plane." Ye Jingcheng spread his hands helplessly at Zhong Chuhong, and said flatteringly: "Do you want anything?" When the time comes, I'll come back and buy it for you as a souvenir. ”

"If there's anything to buy, you won't pick even if I say it." glanced at Ye Jingcheng sadly. Zhong Chuhong took the initiative to put aside Ye Jingcheng's hand, took a few steps back and said, "You go and board the plane." Bye-bye. ”

"Come and kiss it."

Ye Jingcheng walked up with a smile, but he didn't expect Zhong Chuhong to quickly dodge. Don't give him a chance to kiss at all. Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to give up and said, "When I come back, I will go to your house and sit down for a while." ”

Walking to the ticket gate, Ye Jingcheng glanced back and found that Zhong Chuhong was in a state of distraction, not knowing what he was thinking. Ye Jingcheng shook his head and stepped straight on the flight to the island country.

As soon as he got on the plane, Ye Jingcheng ignored Zeng Zhiwei, who was looking around, and put on an eye mask to rest. Hong Kong Island is not far from the island nation. But it's also separated by an ocean. If you count the boarding time, it will also take nearly five hours before and after.

This time, Ye Jingcheng went to the island country to discuss the cooperation object. Toho Co., Ltd. was formed by the merger of Tokyo Takarazuka Theater Company and Toho Film Company.

This club is not only one of the five major film companies in the island country, but can even be said to be the first of the five major film companies, and its status is similar to that of Shaw Brothers, the leader of the film industry on Hong Kong Island.

The only difference is that its rear power is still sufficient, and it is not the Shaw Brothers camel that is about to die of emaciation.

As long as Ye Jingcheng can reach an agreement with Dongbao, the market of Green Lantern Entertainment in the island country can be said to be fully opened, and the films that will be put into production will be released here. The box office is definitely guaranteed.

However, there is no need to think about the free lunch, not to mention that Toho still occupies such a large market share. Therefore, Ye Jingcheng must be a passive party in the next negotiations.

Ye Jingcheng had already considered this before he came. As long as Dongbao is willing to land on the island for every film of Green Lantern Entertainment. With the corresponding resources and manpower for publicity and other cooperation, Ye Jingcheng does not mind lowering the share of the box office, and his bottom line is about thirty and a half.

Thirty and a half. It seems that Ye Jingcheng has retreated too much. In fact, in the overseas box office, the proportion of share has not been high.

Because of the relatively local market. First of all, the overseas market has different local customs, and the development of audiences is relatively small. The second is that it is difficult to promote the film. There are also a lot of local films competing for resources.

So its cost and risk are higher than the local box office, so this negotiation, if the share of the box office can talk about four or six openings, it is already a very good result. If not, three and a half percent is barely enough to make a difference.

After nearly four and a half hours of closing his eyes and recuperating, Ye Jingcheng was called up by Zeng Zhiwei. The reason is that the plane has already begun to land, and the location is Haneda International Airport in Tokyo.

The two took their luggage and walked to the airport hall full of foreign Chinese sounds. Here, there are a lot of people holding up cardboards in their hands, and they are all waiting for someone to be greeted.

The two looked from afar and found a striking yellow cardboard not far away, with Ye Jingcheng's name written on it.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Ye?" The visitor looked like a student. Seeing Ye Jingcheng walking towards this side, he asked unconfirmed.

"I am." Although the female student has a bit of a local accent, and the director feels a little awkward, she still speaks Cantonese that Ye Jingcheng can understand.

The two female students who were waiting here early were not sent by Toho to greet them.

Instead, Ye Jingcheng instructed Li Ying to contact the accompanying translator in advance, and they will accompany him throughout the next few days. Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng and Zeng Zhiwei, two outsiders, only know simple Ya Yan Butterfly, Yi Gu and other Japanese. Not to mention finding the gate of Toho, I'm afraid I won't even be able to tell the destination when I get on the taxi.

"Ye Sheng, these two sisters are good-looking." Zeng Zhiwei turned his head and said with a smile.

The reason why Zeng Zhiwei thinks that these two translators are two sisters is because from the appearance of the two alone, it is not difficult to see some similarities.

Coupled with the younger translator, seeing Zeng Zhiwei's lewd smile, he should have felt uneasy in his heart, and he kept Ou Nesan calling the relatively large translator next to him, although Ye Jingcheng didn't understand much Japanese, he also heard that this was a title for his sister.

As if she was worried about the other party's intentions, the sister actually said straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, we are only responsible for the translation work." Other than that, we will not have other services. ”

Zeng Zhiwei's smile suddenly froze, and the other party's words were obviously directed at him.

"Alright, you can call me first." Ye Jingcheng bumped into Zeng Zhiwei, who was distracted, and the latter reacted and took out a note from his pocket, and the number recorded on it was the contact between them and Dongbao.

A short time later, the female translator walked out of the phone booth. Conveyed the other party's reply: "They said that the person in charge is not in the company, and they want you to go to their company in person." ”

"We've come so far and now, and we still want to go by ourselves?" Zeng Zhiwei immediately expressed his displeasure.
