"The Butterfly Effect is sold well in Southeast Asia, and the publisher pays money in a timely manner. You all know the price of the copyright sale, but you should check this form to see if there are any mistakes. Then we settle the account. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone is waiting for the money to pay the bonus."
Wang Zhonglei handed over a report to Wan Xiaohu, which detailed the issuance rights price of each country and region.
Thailand is US$200,000, Malaysia is US$150,000, Singapore is US$80,000, Indonesia is US$60,000, South Korea is US$800,000, Hong Kong is US$100,000, Taiwan is US$100,000, and Philippines is US$100,000. Total is US$1.59 million, equivalent to RMB 13.14 million.
According to the 55% share of the overseas share, Dandelion Film Company has 6.57 million yuan.
Previously, the box office in mainland China was divided into 3.5 million yuan, but now it only has overseas copyrights in Asia, so it has divided into 6.57 million yuan, which is faster than grabbing money. Moreover, VCD, DVD and Blu-ray have not been released yet. No one has come to contact the larger overseas markets such as North America and Europe, South Africa and Japan.
"The box office in mainland China is too small, and only Southeast Asia and South Korea and Japan can affect it. If you want to release it in North America, now it depends on whether "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can continue to become popular and whether you can win a big prize." Wang Zhonglei took a sip of tea and his expression was quite comfortable.
The Chinese martial arts blockbuster "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An has been screened in various places in the United States since October, with mixed reputations and reputations. However, after being released in December, the box office was very strong, with a very low decline. In addition, the whole December to January is the Hollywood awards season.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" began to sweep the awards of major film critics associations and has been identified as a popular film that has hit the Oscars, which has shown no sign of the enthusiasm of the audience.
As the spiritual banner of Hollywood, the Oscars are not as powerful as the Golden Rooster Awards. Any popular Oscars, even art films, will be sought after. As long as you win a Best Picture or Best Foreign Language Film, the box office of the box office in North America exceeds 100 million US dollars, which is basically the same as the most popular ones.
Now, the entire Chinese-language film industry is paying attention to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and whether it can succeed in the Olympics.
Once successful, it will definitely bring countless business opportunities to Chinese-language movies. Later, Zhang Yimou made "Heroes" and Chen Kaige made "The Promise", which was influenced by the trend of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The Chinese movies that made millions of yuan a movie were raised to the era of blockbusters with tens of millions of dollars a movie.
The reason why I was so brave was because I made money crazy after seeing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
American film merchants came to China to find films to be released in North America, but in the end they didn't find a few movies that were eye-catching, so they invested all the hot money, found the Chinese director, asked Zhang Yimou to shoot, and let Chen Kaige film. "Hero" was successful, but the subsequent "The Promise" and "The Ten-Side Ambush" were both lost, and the craze gradually subsided, and Chinese films returned to the wilderness era.
However, it is obvious that the beginning of the blockbuster era has injected great vitality into Chinese films, making the filmmakers brave and take steps. Even Japanese could not stand the loneliness and came to China to invest in Wu Yusen to film "Red Cliff".
"If nothing unexpected happens in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", we have decided on the best foreign language film. Let's wait for the American film dealer to come to bargain." Wan Xiaohu laughed and handed the report to Su Ya, "Mr. Su, review it."
Su Ya took a quick look and said, "Since there is no problem, just sign a contract and transfer the money."
After a busy morning, more than six million more were added to Dandelion Film Company’s account.
After leaving the Huayi brothers, Su Ya drove, Wan Xiaohu sat in the passenger seat, lying in a vague tone.
"Hey, now that I have money in my account, should I buy a car first or open a company first?"
Wan Xiaohu knocked his finger: "Save some funds first, and give bonuses to employees during the Chinese New Year. Then the company will provide a few cars, how much money is left, and if possible, start the TV program production company first. After the Chinese New Year, I will plan it, contact several satellite TV stations, and cooperate with a program."
"What show do you want to work with?"
"A talent show, a national singing talent show, I have thought of the name, it is called "Super Girl"..." Wan Xiaohu talked casually and gave a brief introduction to the Super Girl program in later generations.
It is not difficult to hold an entertainment program, but it is difficult to come up with good ideas. Wan Xiaohu has too many programs in his head. He can provide creativity, ask people to design, and then cooperate with the TV station to ensure a lot of money. Making money is secondary, mainly because he can create stars and brands in these entertainment programs.
Seeing that Wan Xiaohu was very interesting, Su Ya asked: "Do you don't plan to be a director anymore? You want to change your career and become a planner?"
"That's not to say that my job is a director, which is understandable. Program planning is a hobby, anyway, it's just to provide a creativity. I spread the blanket and leave it to others to do it. If others can make this stall successful, I will make a profit. If it fails, it's not harmful. In short, I just dabbled a little and won't go deep into it. I can't even shoot movies, and I can't always waste my good time at work, right?"
"But I discovered that you are a workaholic."
"How can I see it?"
"Didn't you realize that you have too many goals?"
"Too many goals?" Wan Xiaohu yelled.
While driving, Su Ya sighed: "At the beginning, I planned to open a film company and invest in a few movies to play. But after working with you, I could hardly keep up with you. You would have to open a novel website, make online games, sign an artist, and now you have to do entertainment programs. If you do the same thing, I will scold you with confidence and then let go. But what about?"
"But what?"
"But everything you do seems to make sense. You make money by making movies, making games, opening novel websites, and doing entertainment programs. You seem to know everything, and you understand when it is time to make money and when it will develop into what. I was originally a pride in school. After being with you for a long time, I almost lost my confidence."
Wan Xiaohu touched his chin, and after not shaving for two days, he got his beard thorny. He smashed his mouth: "It seems that I'm a little too high-profile."
"It's too high-profile. Others are too busy to be busy. You have to take everything on your shoulders. Do you think you are a workaholic? You are not tired of living, I am tired."
Wan Xiaohu didn't say anything.
Sinking into deep thought.
I was reborn once and agreed to live happily and comfortably, but I seemed to be bound by my dreams and the future, or I had too many opportunities and was greedy. I always wanted to maximize everything and wanted to take up everything. I was busy writing scripts today, busy planning tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I had to think about whether there were any missing things.
This is like a donkey, circling around all day, and you can't spare a moment.
Busy social engagements, social interactions, work, and future.
After busy work, as Su Ya said, he became a workaholic.
How can you look like a little comfortable life?
"Am I tired of living?"
Looking at the skyscrapers that were quickly retreating, Wan Xiaohu frowned in confusion. When Su Ya didn't say anything, he didn't think it was, but when Su Ya mentioned this, Wan Xiaohu really felt that his body was very heavy, there was no time to stop, and no time to freely enjoy himself aimlessly.
"You're right." Wan Xiaohu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "I've discovered it now, and I've become a workaholic. It's like an ant, going in and out of the hole all day long, looking for bugs, rice grains, and food to eat on the ground. It's even worse than them. They look for food for survival, and I, for the so-called dream."
Su Ya smiled and said, "I remember you said your dream is to be an international director."
"I was talking casually about being an international director. In fact, I originally had a very humble dream."
"What?"
Wan Xiaohu put his hands behind his head and looked ahead: "I used to want to make a movie that could make money..."
"Then you'll have achieved it long ago."
"Yes." Wan Xiaohu sighed. This trajectory was realized. The previous trajectory was achieved for fourteen years. "So now I feel that I am trying hard to find things to do under the guise of my dreams, which is a bit too self-righteous."
"And then, now I have any dreams, don't say lies, tell the truth."
"My dream now, huh, peasant woman, mountain spring, a little bit of land."
"I'm lying to others again, treat me as a three-year-old child, right?"
"What I said is true, a bit of land, and I can understand that I have a career. Mountain Spring is just a house, a car and a savings. As for the peasant woman, haha, my wife, mistress, mistress, "qingren", the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside. This is my ultimate goal."
"This is a shameless expression!" Su Ya despised.
"Every man has the ambition to be an emperor in his heart. He is not envious of the country, but loves beauty!"
"So I said, you are a pervert."
Talk and laugh, the company has arrived, and the accounting is done, and it is noon.
"Let's go, treat you to dinner." Wan Xiaohu stood at the door of the office and said to Su Ya.
"It's rare."
"Do you eat?"
"Of course I have to eat, by the way, what you said before, how to decide on opening a program production company?"
"You decide. I will hand over the planning of "Super Girl" to you. You will decide whether to open a company."
"Hey hey, why did you push it to me?"
