However, currently, in terms of the real film market in Asia, the best and most profitable place is Japan.

Japan's economy at this time was the best in Asia and ranked second in the world. It was a real economic powerhouse.

Relying on Japan's strong economy and population, Japan's film industry is also quite powerful at this time. At least in terms of box office revenue, it is currently the number one in Asia.

In addition, Japanese movies are also relatively open at this time, and there are relatively few restrictions on imported movies.

Not to mention Hong Kong movies, even mainland movies, because of the honeymoon relationship between China and Japan, there are actually special discounts for mainland movies.

It's just that the inland movies at this time were really not very good, at least the movies produced were not very in line with Japanese tastes.

The only inland film that can be considered suitable for Japanese tastes and is a co-production with a Hong Kong flavor is "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace".

When "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" was released in Japan, it was titled "The Queen Mother of the West".

The total box office revenue of this movie in Japan, also known as Xingxing's revenue, reached 1.1 billion yen.

You know, when this movie was released in Japan, in 1984, the RMB had not depreciated significantly at that time, and the Japanese yen was still very valuable relative to the RMB.

In 1984, the ratio of RMB to Japanese yen was generally 1:102, so 1.1 billion yen was approximately equivalent to 10 million yuan, which was an incredible number.

If you don’t have an idea yet, you can exchange it for the Hong Kong box office market at that time.

In 1984, the RMB to Hong Kong dollar ratio was 1 to 3.4. In other words, 10 million RMB was roughly equivalent to 34 million Hong Kong dollars. This box office was definitely No. 1 in Hong Kong.

Because in 1984, the box office champion of the Hong Kong movie "On Her Majesty's Order" was only HK$29.29 million.

Even if you divide it up, not many will actually get into Cao Zhiqiang's hands, but Cao Zhiqiang's shooting costs are also low.

When filming "Love in Guting", the most expensive equipment and film were rewarded by the system, which was equivalent to free of charge.

Other hard expenses, that is, the travel expenses of the film crew, food expenses, filming allowances, etc., even including Cao Zhiqiang’s personal hotel stay, the total of these expenses does not actually exceed 200,000.

That is to say, as long as the sales share of this movie can give Cao Zhiqiang 500,000 yuan, he will make a lot of money.

However, the domestic buyout price is most likely the maximum buyout fee of 900,000.

As for Japan, if there are no accidents, Cao Zhiqiang estimates that the box office of this movie after its release will be at least one billion yen. If it is divided into the hands of Cao Zhiqiang, he personally will get 1.8 million yen.

If it does well after being released in Japan, you can also use Japan's platform to show it in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea and other places, or even show it in Europe and the United States, and reap another wave of success.

The combined income of all miscellaneous items is likely to exceed tens of millions of RMB!

If this is the case, then this movie will really make a lot of money, not to mention the benefits of expanding its popularity.
