Zhang Wenhua said a lot of things, and told him a lot of things that he had done before, and even something about being sorry for Luo Yaoxiang, and in the end, this guy actually said that it was only the first half, and there was something else in the second half, what was the matter in this second half?

"Yaoxiang, listen to me, just this movie, we are an adaptation of a Japanese novel, right? Although on the American side, this can be regarded as an adaptation of your events, but the root is still a Japanese novel. And in this movie, you are the male lead, Wujun Mei has it, right? Dunst, right? Let's not talk about others, you are the first male lead, and your role is extremely high, so can't you see the potential of this movie in Asia?! ”

When Zhang Wenhua said this, Luo Yaoxiang's mind of course immediately figured it out.

Yes!

Although this movie is the American version of "Blue Flame", there are many, many Asian elements in it, the script is a Japanese novel, and there is Luo Yaoxiang in the actors, and ah, it is the American elements in this movie, the social background of the United States, in fact, these are all things that Asia, especially East Asia, likes very much!

How about Japan's stuff with the United States?

Kneel and lick!

What about Treasure Island?

What's more, at the same time, it's also very Hari, and our movie is all occupied!

Hong Kong?

The same!

Continent?

This...... It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but the current mainland is really more foreign-worshipping, of course, this is by no means all, but the market that likes American culture is very big!

This era is like this, in fact, this heart is mainly because the United States is indeed strong, people's lives are indeed good, and we Chinese. It's really like to live a good life like the Americans, or better than them, so it's okay to like the United States now.

Moreover, in this Hollywood movie, there is also Luo Yaoxiang, a Chinese!

So now that there are such conditions, Luo Yaoxiang has completely determined that if this American version of "Green Flame" can be released in Asia, that is, East Asia. Then the box office will not be bad!

In this way......

"Brother Hua, you mean, we bought the overseas rights of this movie? It's supposed to just buy the Asian rights, and then, we run it ourselves, right? Luo Yaoxiang immediately thought of this.

"Clever!" Zhang Wenhua gave a thumbs up!

didn't say it, Zhang Wenhua was sincere, he just felt that the Luo Yaoxiang in front of him was young. But a little bit of it is thorough, and this is very powerful.

And now, the words have come to this, so today's real purpose of Zhang Wenhua is almost all figured out. However, there is one more thing here.

"We can't get the distribution rights in Japan, because that distribution rights have already been given to Japan by Lionsgate in the beginning, of course. The Japanese side also paid for it, so we are going to buy it now. It is the distribution right of "Green Flame" in Greater China. ”

Zhang Wenhua said this, then looking at it like this, Luo Yaoxiang suddenly found that this Lionsgate Pictures is good at doing business!

To put it bluntly, the cost of this American version of the movie "Green Flame" is even smaller, and it can't be used for 3 million US dollars, and there are Japanese people paying for it, you know, the Japanese have true love for the United States, and this country is the ATM of the United States.

Luo Yaoxiang's thoughts drifted a little, but Zhang Wenhua still has to talk about it, because the meat drama is coming!

"Yaoxiang, actually, that's why I came to you today, in fact, I've already negotiated with Lionsgate, I made a bet with them before, this bet is that if the film does well at the box office in the United States, then I can get a certain share, and there is also an overseas distribution right, I can also talk to them first, now I have finished talking, Lionsgate has agreed, the distribution rights in Greater China, give me $800,000!"

Greater China, of course, is Chinese mainland plus Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and this price ......

800,000?

This, this, this, isn't it too cheap?

When Luo Yaoxiang heard this price, he felt that it was a bit cheap, because in his impression, the overseas box office of Hollywood movies is often quite good, and since the box office is good, of course, this overseas distribution right will be more expensive. And now look at our American version of "Blue Flame", which is quite eye-catching at the box office in North America!

Indeed, in terms of the investment in the American version of "Blue Flame", the cost of 3 million yuan finally brought more than 35 million US dollars at the box office, which is really amazing. And ah, it's like this in North America, so it's definitely not too bad overseas.

Besides, Luo Yaoxiang and Zhang Wenhua can see it

So, can you not be surprised that Luo Yaoxiang won 800,000?

But......

"Yaoxiang, do you think the price is too high?" Zhang Wenhua saw Luo Yaoxiang's expression, so he asked cautiously.

Is this price still high?

Luo Yaoxiang was shocked, he didn't expect it to be low, but what the hell is going on?

When Zhang Wenhua saw this, he could only explain slightly, "This price is really difficult to negotiate, Lionsgate Pictures is dead, it's really not good." In other words, it would be nice if Hong Kong and Macao also adopted closure measures for some things on the US side. ”

This...... What are you talking about?

I see!

Luo Yaoxiang immediately thought of one thing, that is, what happened in Yugoslavia last year, the Yankees bastards went too far, and they actually blew up our embassy and grass their ancestors' ...... That's it, Luo Yaoxiang was already in the United States at the beginning, and he was still on the street.

Not only him, but also Wu Shujuan, a wonderful woman, also went to the street, and she also waved a five-star red flag, so there are many other Taiwanese compatriots, this is ...... Aren't we Taiwanese? Why don't you take that flag at this time?

Okay, this groove Luo Yaoxiang won't vomit, there is a saying, 'Only when you go abroad can you be patriotic', Luo Yaoxiang deeply realized it at the time, these Taiwanese compatriots, they also know that taking that flag is simply a match, so it's really a red heart.

And this incident has triggered a lot of chain reactions, one of which is that many businesses between China and the United States have been affected, and the biggest impact is actually movies.

Hollywood blockbusters were boycotted in 1999, and this year is 2000, the new century and new atmosphere, much better, but for a small company like Lionsgate, they really can't win the share of the mainland, no way.

The distribution rights of this film in Greater China are of course cheaper!

But however, this is just one reason, and there are some reasons that Luo Yaoxiang doesn't know.

To put it simply, that is, the Hollywood movies in Asia at this time, the most profitable is the Japanese market, followed by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the Chinese mainland market, that is really a can't be seen!

Zhang Wenhua has done research on this, so he knows it. Let's just say that the release of this Hollywood movie in Chinese mainland is actually there, not nothing, but however, the previous practice is relatively internal.

To put it simply, in 1994, the mainland's film market was really bad, and there were many movie theaters, and at this time some people thought that we should introduce Hollywood movies, and in doing so, at least we could save movie theaters.

After all, cinema is an industry, and it's not small. But how can this be introduced?

It was all bought out before, and there is nothing wrong with this buyout, you can buy it out, but the price of this buyout is ......

$20,000!

Right!

It was until 1994 that the buyout release price of our foreign films in Chinese mainland was 20,000 US dollars, so at this price, it is strange that someone sells you.

Actually, this price has been raised, because at the beginning, it was 20,000 soft sister coins, but don't underestimate the soft sister coins at that time, when the previous soft sister coins did not do exchange rate reforms, they were equivalent to the US dollar...... Anyway, it's not open for exchange, so it's the same for everyone.

Later, the exchange rate was changed, so this was changed to 20,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to raising the price, but this price is not an egg!

So, since 1994, there have been account-sharing films, that is, your movies come over, and then everyone counts the box office share, this system is very good, but ......

On the one hand, there is a limit, just 10 a year.

On the other hand, that's the money that is shared with this account, and it's pitiful to be little!

The film market in the mainland itself has shrunk terribly, and ah, there are many disadvantages to this account-sharing film system, that is, the share is low, and Hollywood studios can get about 1 percent, and the other is that this percentage may not be given to you!

Yes, drag it.

But this drag, it's the same all over the world, and it's the same in the United States, your producer wants to settle the box office with the theater company, and everyone will share the money, okay, you wait!

Everyone is like this, there are interests in this, not to mention anything else, how much is 1 million dollars a day in the bank? Even if interest rates in the U.S. are low, right?

Therefore, the current price of the distribution rights in Greater China of 800,000 US dollars is really very fair, and Lionsgate is also satisfied, I can get 800,000 yuan immediately, why wait for the uncertain amount of money in the future?

Let's just say that the box office of the entire Greater China region has reached 100 million soft girl coins, so how much is the dollar share of Lionsgate in the end?

Therefore, at this price, veterans can understand at a glance that Lionsgate does not suffer at all, so now ......

To do it or not to do it?

After Luo Yaoxiang listened to all these things, he said a word directly.

"Brother Hua, how much money do I need to pay?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wenhua's tears welled up, grabbed Luo Yaoxiang's hands and said, "Yaoxiang, brother, thank you!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you all for your support! Thanks!
