Chapter Eighty-Eight: Don't Fool Me
This is really unexpected, Su Changqing can't remember what the state of the stick country was in the nineties, the two countries only established diplomatic relations in ninety-two, and the current domestic people don't know much about their social situation, after all, the Korean Wave has not yet risen.
However, Su Changqing remembers that in the TV series introduced at the beginning of the 21st century, they were still rebelling against arranged marriages and calling for freedom of love, much like just emancipation, and the progress in the next 20 years was much faster, so that it gave people the illusion that society has always been very advanced.
The partner may have always thought that Liu Bei was just a secretary or business manager in charge of liaison, but in the end, the Chinese side sent her to sign the contract.
Send a woman? It's too much to look down on us, it's too unserious, how can we do it without turning our faces.
Su Changqing could only comfort Liu Bei: "This shows that you are very feminine, these fools actually see that you are a woman." ”
The previous negotiations between Liu Bei and Japan and South Korea were indeed very smooth, and the progress was even faster than she expected, in fact, there is a very important background here.
At the end of last year, while "My Sassy Girlfriend" was being filmed intensively, "Farewell My Concubine" was released in Japan and South Korea with the power of the Cannes Awards.
Su Changqing also won an international award, although it is a little worse than Cannes, as long as the work is valuable, the other party will certainly not refuse.
Now we have to send a man to deal with the Koreans immediately, but Su Changqing will be interviewed by CCTV the day after tomorrow, and there will be a press conference after the interview, and there are a lot of things behind, and I can't leave at all.
Besides, he doesn't even have a passport, and it may not be possible to do it temporarily for a month or two, and it's too late at all.
"Send me," Simon volunteered, "They need a man to sign it, and I will." ”
This guy has been staying in France before, and the passport visa may be faster.
Du Keke also agreed: "Now he is the only one who is suitable, otherwise the visa is a big problem." ”
Looking around at the same unpassported buns, Su Changqing could only authorize Ximen Xiong to sign on his behalf, go to Seoul to meet Liu Bei first, and then run the business of Tokyo together.
"Hi, peace of mind してください!"
Ximen Xiongyi bowed and set off with two strong men of the same style.
On the 17th, Huang Yang called, and the distribution of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia was negotiated, and the box office share was according to the usual practice, but the Hong Kong businessman proposed to keep an additional 500,000 yuan in publicity expenses, and if he agreed, he would start to coordinate the schedule.
The reasons for Hong Kong businessmen are also very strong: "Hong Kong audiences are not accustomed to watching mainland films, so they spend more money on advertising. ”
In fact, Hong Kong's box office commission includes advertising fees, which is unreasonable.
Su Changqing refused.
According to his previous style, as long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care about investment, not to mention that the 500,000 yuan is mainly borne by Tianyan, but this matter can't be done, otherwise it will be a big injustice.
There is a long-term misunderstanding here, many people think that the box office of Hong Kong films is mainly produced in Hong Kong, and their own market is supporting it, but in fact, this is not the case at all.
Eighty percent of the revenue of Hong Kong films comes from Treasure Island, and Hong Kong and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand share the remaining 20 percent, while mainland films are more special, and the box office in this place can even be negligible.
For example, "Farewell My Concubine", which has been unparalleled for a while, Su Changqing specially checked the data from the newspaper, the box office in the mainland is nearly 50 million, Japan and South Korea combined are 20 million, the treasure island is 20 million, Europe and the United States are 5 million US dollars, and the global total is almost 130 million yuan, but there is no Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, and the number of audiences is too small to be ignored.
Later, "The Wandering Earth", which had a box office of 4.6 billion yuan in the mainland, only had a box office of 3 million, not to mention anything else.
Because there are no three links between the two sides of the strait, the mainland has to go to the island through Hong Kong, and Hong Kong businessmen only play a role as a bridge and intermediary in the middle, and it is a question of whether there are 500,000 yuan at the box office or not, and it is really a matter of whether others are laymen.
In the 90s, the mainland's cultural circles said sourly that Hong Kong Island was a cultural desert, and it was not a lie, and the number of movie-watching times per capita in Hong Kong was only one-third of that of Treasure Island, and "Farewell My Concubine" was an original work in Hong Kong, which was invested and produced by Hong Kong and starred by Hong Kong people, but few people appreciated it.
Director Chen's operation was originally quite sassy, and he adapted a very sensitive theme at a special time to think that he could please the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but Hong Kong and Taiwan did not recognize this film as a Hong Kong film, and mainland films could not participate in the Golden Horse and Academy Awards that year, so they were very closed.
In turn, the mainland is not allowed to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, but it can be screened, so Director Chen has won more than 30 awards in the world, but there is no one in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, which can be regarded as a miracle in the industry.
Later, the Baodao film market collapsed, and the Hong Kong film industry also came to an end, and it is not a big mistake to say that it has something to do with Jiuqi, but it is more like a flourishing and declining tree, and it is basically not saved.
Su Changqing has seen too many tricks, how can he be fooled again, this 500,000 yuan will not be deceived.
Huang Yang was a little worried that Hong Kong businessmen would turn their faces: "I don't have much money, I really don't agree?"
"Disagree," Su Changqing said categorically: "You can tell him that our people have already taken the Seoul distribution, and he is currently in Tokyo, and he is not the only one to enter the treasure island." ”
No one has ever entered the treasure island through the devil before, but it is not impossible for the market to change rapidly.
Huang Yang had no choice but to talk again.
The CCTV interview on the 18th was stable, and the questions to be asked and the answers needed were communicated in advance, and they were well completed.
In addition to talking about the plot and creation, half of the time is spent talking about the understanding and responsibility of the construction of spiritual civilization.
"The correct concept of love is undoubtedly a part of the construction of spiritual civilization. ”
It's a good topic to go in.
The problem was mainly shared by Su Changqing, Du Keke and Huang Bo, Mu Mu spoke less, and talked about ballet the most, and then kept a polite smile throughout the whole process, nodding occasionally.
The audience may not like her to know everything, and it is best to retain some sense of distance in front of the media.
The reason why Su Changqing dared to wait for this interview with a group of media was because CCTV reported it in a timely manner when the box office exceeded 10 million, and he understood that this movie had attracted attention, so according to the usual practice, there should be a follow-up.
CCTV reports were very cautious, and at that time, every news item was edited in charge, and it had to be approved at all levels before it could be broadcast.
When I was a student, my classmates discussed the publicity model of several fifth-generation big-name directors, all starting with CCTV without exception, this routine was summarized by everyone and recognized by the teacher.
If the film is not reported, or the interview is not waited for more than half of the schedule, then there will be no drama, and you can only play with a group of small media.
"Model Team" also got CCTV coverage when it won the award, but Su Changqing was too eager to hold a press conference, ignoring the ethical rules that every industry has.
And this interview will undoubtedly play a role in setting the tone after it is broadcast, and the rest of the official media will not jump out of this framework again, and the reporters after it will get twice the result with half the effort.
From the 19th, there were press conferences and receptions for three consecutive days, and on the 21st, Liu Bei and Huang Yangtong sent good news that the contract between Korea and Hong Kong was signed.
The box office success was reported again, breaking 30 million on the 24th.
There is only one week left in the schedule, and although the climax of watching the movie has passed, the relevant parties still decided to add half a month to the screening.
On the 20th, in the carnival with the media, Su Changqing realized that he had a wrong decision.
