"I hope our friendship lasts forever!"

“I wish you better photos!”

In the office, Chen Qi shook hands with the film producers from Singapore and Malaysia and quickly reached an agreement.

Singapore is a small country with few people. It is separated from Malaysia and has a deep connection. Movie distribution is usually handled by one blockbuster film company. Singapore and Malaysia have always been the main export destinations for Chinese-language films, but their markets are limited and prices do not fluctuate much.

"Tai Chi 1" cost 150,000 US dollars, and "Tai Chi 2" cost 200,000 US dollars. Chen Qi did not bargain. The Chinese in Malaysia are great.

15% of 200,000 is $30,000.

Followed by South Korea’s Kim Min Yong.

As mentioned earlier, Cheng Long is the only Chinese movie star to be able to sell overseas, and he is popular everywhere. Other countries and regions need to be divided into specific categories. For example, the Japanese like Yuen Biao very much, and the Koreans like Li Lianlian, Liu Dehua, and Zhou Runfa very much.

,Leslie Cheung...

Oh, yes, Koreans like Andy Lau very much, and they also like Joey Wang. Zhou Xingchi is generally not very good. His comedies could not go overseas until "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu".

Li Lien-lien is one of the most popular Chinese movie stars in South Korea. He has never won an annual championship in Hong Kong, but his salary is second only to Cheng Long. This is because he is an extremely popular actor overseas, including in Taiwan.

"Haigu!"

"You are really the noble person in my life. Because I bought your movie, I became famous in the company..."

When Jin Minyong came in, he boasted loudly in a unique accent. The smell of stick noodles hit his face. Chen Qi fanned. Your country was founded in a US military base. Is the country in good health?

Is Jun Jun okay? Has Roh Moo-hyun made his debut? Do you want to help you make a movie called "Seoul Spring"?

"Please sit down!"

Chen Qi complained in his mind and stretched out his hand to signal. Jin Minyong sat opposite and continued to flatter him, but did not talk about the price. Chen Qi was not in a hurry and drank tea slowly.

The beeping lasted for more than ten minutes. Seeing that he still didn't answer, Jin Minyong stopped and said: "We are very willing to buy the copyright of "Tai Chi 2". How about the same price as the first one, 300,000!"

"Double!" Chen Qi said.

"$600,000? No, no, no, impossible!"

Jin Minyong shook his head like a rattle and said: "None of the domestic film producers have introduced overseas films at this price, and we will not take risks."

"But I heard that "Tai Chi" is very popular in your country. The first part is a bit thin to be honest, but the second part adds a lot of content. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the impact of foreigners and Western bandits, exploring ways to save the country and the people...

You can understand it and play more excitingly. Doubling it is definitely not much."

Why are costume kung fu movies so popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia?

That is, many places are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and even belong to the same Confucian cultural circle, so they understand. The highest purchase of copyrights for Hong Kong films in South Korea was in the 1990s, and the films of the top stars basically cost more than 1 million US dollars.

It would be ten years before this happened, and Chen Qi didn't want to sell it for 1 million.

After arguing for a long time, he held on to the 600,000 yuan and refused to let go. Jin Minyong finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's as you wish, 600,000 yuan!"

"Good! This movie is definitely worth the money."

"I hope so!"

Jin Minyong shook hands with Chen Qi and took another gamble just like last time.

Next is Shinji Nakamura.

Before the rise of the mainland market, Japan had always been the world's second largest film market and the second largest music market. The Japanese entertainment industry was highly developed and very closed.

Very few products can be imported, but their animation and game industries are sold all over the world, which is really amazing.

In the past few days, Chen Qi has been sorting out the box office performance of "Tai Chi 1" in the Western world.

It is very popular in some countries. For example, the number of moviegoers in Poland reached an astonishing 12.78 million, and the number of moviegoers in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, exceeded 100,000. However, in the United States and the United Kingdom, the results were mediocre.

The US theater box office is about 1.5 million.

However, video rental is not bad. In the current market, which is still in its infancy, it once ranked among the top ten.

The guy at 20th Century Fox bought the rights to Western Europe, North America, Australia and other places, plus video tapes and cable TV. Generally speaking, it was still profitable, but the demand for the second part was not as high as in Japan and South Korea.

This is also the reason why Chen Qi wants to switch to making modern action movies.

But this time, he focused heavily on Japan. Japan is rich!

Cheng Long's movies can sell for US$3-5 million in Japan.

Nakamura Shinji came in and chatted politely for a few words, speaking English with weird pronunciation. He was not as stingy as the first two. He spent 1 million on the first part, and took the initiative to increase the price on the second part: "1.5 million!"

After saying that, he saw Chen Qi was speechless and said: "We are already very sincere!"

"It is indeed sincere, but I think 2 million is a more reasonable price."

"Two million? No, no, this is too exaggerated!"

""Tai Chi 1" sold 3.6 billion in Japan, and you guys made at least 9 million US dollars. It's not an exaggeration at all."

"The first part is the first part, and the second part is the second part. You can't guarantee that the results of the second part will be as good. The movie is too risky and there are many accidental factors. You should know that."

After talking for a long time and reaching a stalemate, Chen Qi said: "You can think about it and let's talk again tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I can only go to Toei or Shochiku."

There are five giants in Japan: Toho, Toei, Shochiku, Nikkatsu, and Kadokawa.

Dongbao is the boss, but the others are not weak either.

"..."

Nakamura Shinji wrinkled his eyebrows, fighting internally.

Judging from the quality of the trailer, "Tai Chi 2" is still of a very high standard. It is definitely profitable in Japan. If he paid a buyout fee of 2 million, he would only make less money. He did not dare to make the decision and needed to ask his boss for instructions.

"I'll think about it!"

"Can!"

Finally, there is Thailand.

There is not much to say about Thailand. The size is there, and the transaction was 120,000 yuan.

In this way, calculated based on 15%, Singapore and Malaysia are 30,000, South Korea is 90,000, Thailand is 18,000, and Japan is 300,000. The total is 438,000 US dollars, which is about more than 700,000 when converted into RMB.

The current exchange rate is approximately 1 US dollar: 1.7 yuan.

This is the official price, is it actually true? Well, I understand...

With the extra money, he will have another movie project before the money is paid back, so he will not be stretched thin, he will be a little more comfortable, and he will also have achievements to write down when writing reports.

That's right, he will definitely hand in a report when he returns to the mainland.

Including Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng, they also need to write.

"How was the talk?"

Fu Qi came in. "Tai Chi 2" was produced by Dongchang itself, so he didn't participate.

"It's not bad. The Japanese are tough, but I actually want to buy it. I succeeded in tricking the Yankees last time, but it can't be copied. It's very difficult to sell them at a high price. I can only find it from the Japanese.

As long as "Tai Chi 2" can be on par with the first film, the focus is still on "Orphan". The two films combined will have to earn a lot of money..."

Chen Qi paused and stopped talking. He made three bah-bah-bah noises and said with a smile: "Be low-key to save your character. Just pretend I didn't say it."

Fu Qi laughed and asked again: "When will you go back?"

""Orphan's Revenge" will be finished soon, probably in November or December. By the way, uncle..."

Chen Qidao said: "I have written a script and it has been decided that Andy Lau will play the role. He is now filming "Into the Angry Sea". If there is any news about him after I leave, please let me know and I will come back then."
Chapter completed!
