Chapter 719 Understanding Song Jiang (asking for monthly ticket)

The critic who watched the movie twice in a row found it very interesting.

As a master, I have interpreted that movies can contain many things and embrace all kinds of things, regardless of whether people can understand them or not.

As for being a disciple, one should follow the principle of simplicity.

The overseas film producers did not hesitate too much, especially those who had previously done business with Hao Yun. They were sure to buy the overseas rights to "Little Forest".

Unfortunately, this overseas list excludes Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

Anyone can see that this movie will be very popular in those markets where Chinese culture radiates.

The first batch of releases will be in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, followed by Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

The overseas film producers can basically buy mainly from the European and American markets.

The question now is how much is the right amount to spend on Little Forest.

We are all businessmen and we have to consider the return on investment.

There was no need for Hao Yun to personally negotiate the specific transaction. The distribution of "Little Forest" in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas was handled by the Emperor of Film.

However, the discussion went pretty quickly and there was nothing too complicated.

However, "The Ring" and "The Sun Also Rises" are not that fast, because they are going to be judged for awards, and winning and not winning are completely different values.

The people from Yinghuang were talking to the film producers while communicating with Hao Yun.

Several film producers that we had worked with before gave us two options.

One is US$800,000 for a single film, and the other is US$3 million for all four films.

The exchange rate in September was 7.5, which is 6 million RMB.

It’s really very good.

These days, many movies can only be sold for $200,000 or $300,000 when they sell their overseas copyrights, and some people simply don’t want them.

Art films that can sell overseas copyrights and get some government subsidies will basically not lose money.

This is why there are only a few movies that make money in theaters every year, but people still keep making movies.

As for the 800,000 for one film and 3 million for the fourth, it is probably because they are worried that the quality of the sequel will not be as good as the first one.

Hao Yun gave them a third option.

Three and a half million US dollars, four "Little Forest" films, plus one "The Sound of Wind" as a bonus.

Several film producers are very conflicted.

"Little Forest" is okay. There are also films of similar style abroad. Farms, forests, and natural scenery are an ultimate enjoyment for all mankind.

If I buy it for 800,000, I won’t lose money even if I sell discs or TV stations.

Although the "Bullfighting" they bought before did not make them lose money, they did not make any profit either, so it was almost a waste of time.

For people in this industry, working in vain is actually equivalent to losing money.

Therefore, they were not very interested in "The Sound of Wind", which is also an anti-Japanese war movie.

But in the end they accepted the condition.

Three million and two hundred thousand dollars for four films is their base price. Adding three hundred thousand dollars to buy a film produced with fifty million RMB seems to be doable.

Hao Yun’s goal is to let more people watch anti-Japanese war films.

What is cultural output?

It's not about exporting any traditional culture. What's so good about exporting that? It's just pure showing off.

Didn’t you see that the one next door has already been nominated for World Heritage status?

The real output should be the output of values, the output of what you want people to see, and breaking the cultural blockade that has been formed over a long period of time.

It would be fine even if it was given for free. Three hundred thousand US dollars is already very good.

As long as they can make a small profit, they will still want something similar next time.

These movie dealers have incredible power and perfect purchasing and sales channels. They will sell discs wherever they can make money.

Whenever Hao Yun is in Venice, he goes to the movies and chats with filmmakers from all over the world.

Many foreigners learned a few words of Mandarin from him.

This is considered their master-disciple tradition. Jiang Wen has taught Quentin, but Hao Yun is not as cold as Jiang Wen. He can talk to anyone. As long as you are interested, I will teach you a few words.

If you want to know about China, I can also introduce it to you.

They will even recommend more mature tourist attractions.

On September 9, the 8th Venice International Film Festival finally came to a close.

Four Chinese-language films, "The Sun Also Rises", "The Ring", "Help Me, Eros" and "Detective", have been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

In the end, "The Ring" directed by Li An won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film. This is not only the second time that Li An has won the Golden Lion Award after "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005, but also the third consecutive year that a Chinese director has won the award.

Last year, the Golden Lion Award for Best Film was won by "Still Life" directed by Jia.

The previous one was Brokeback Mountain.

Hao Yun's master Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" did not win any awards.

This is actually very normal.

One is a so-called art film with Zheng Zhizheng's slander against China, and the other is a genre film that even many Chinese people can't understand, let alone foreigners. No one knows how to choose.

When Jiang Wen returned, he didn't look lost at all.

However, failing to win the award still resulted in a number of negative consequences.

The first is the media's pessimism.

Jiang Wen spent several years working on a movie, but now it looks really bad.

Bona Film Group was busy helping with the promotion and publicity.

Secondly, theater screenings began to shift towards "The Whistleblower", which was released at the same time.

These guys originally planned to schedule more screenings for "The Sun" than "The Sound of Wind", after all, one is a master and the other is an apprentice.

Jiang Wen has extensive connections.

However, theaters need to make profits. Now that "The Sun" has failed in Venice and its reputation has plummeted, it is not surprising that they choose to lean towards "The Whispering Wind".

After all, Hao Yun has never disappointed anyone.

The promotion and publicity of "The Sound of Wind" was done with the help of Guangxian Media, and the two companies started competing with each other.

Finally, the audiovisual copyright of "The Sun", which had been almost negotiated, was cut from 200 million RMB to 150 million RMB.

The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!
Although Jiang Wen had some of his own fault in this movie and 50 is not a lot of money, this insulting operation still makes people very unhappy.

The relationship between master and apprentice was not affected by the competitive relationship.

Hao Yun even took out the script of "Let the Bullets Fly Ultimate Edition".

Before the movie was released, the promotion had already entered a fever pitch. Not only did the two directors often meet in private, one of them even helped the other write the script for his next movie.

I move heaven and earth, how can I not move you!
So touching.

But Jiang Wen was used to it. When the script was given to him, he just glanced at it and nodded.

"Let's just follow this version and hope we can make the money while standing."

Never mention the change again.

Of course, based on Hao Yun's understanding of him, if "Let the Bullets Fly" performs well, he will definitely return to his old ways in the next one and continue to stuff all sorts of nonsense into it.

If not, he wouldn't be Jiang Wen.

In this regard, Hao Yun didn't think he needed to stop him, because Jiang Wen was pursuing different things from him.

After the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" was finalized, we began to slowly prepare.

That is Jiang Wen’s own business.

But before that, Jiang Wen focused his main energy on the release of "The Sun Also Rises".

Hao Yun's "The Sound of Wind" will be released first.

In early September, apart from occasionally attending classes, Hao Yun took the main creators of "The Sound of Wind" to participate in promotional activities everywhere.

He looked as if he wanted the butcher to prove his truth.

On September 9, the 7th Spiritual Civilization Construction "Five One Project" Award Ceremony was held in the capital.

Although Hao Yun did not attend, he still won a prize.

"Beijing Welcomes You" was recommended by the Capital City Propaganda Department to participate in the competition and won an Outstanding Work Award.

Although 268 works were commended and rewarded, this was a high-level award ceremony after all.

Most people can’t get in even if they want to.

Now I finally understand Song Jiang.

The reason why he was determined to seek surrender was, firstly, because he was from Shandong, and the gene of taking civil service examinations had been passed down through the ages.

Secondly, it is to work for the court, and it really has its benefits.

"Beijing Welcomes You" is registered, Hao Yun cannot deal with it casually, nor can he restrict the arrangements of the song by his superiors.

Chen Peisi is a lesson learned.

However, since he gets part of the profits from "Beijing Welcomes You", there will definitely be no problem for him to receive some trophies.

You can touch my money, but you can't touch my trophies.

Otherwise, I won’t have the inspiration to collaborate again.

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the certificate for the "500th Spiritual Civilization Construction "Five One Project"·Outstanding Song Work Award", which can store attribute points]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the certificate treasure box (medium quality)]

【Open the treasure chest】

[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure chest (medium quality), and obtaining singing skills +6 (permanent), music "Flight Of The Silverbird". ]

Gave a very good piece of pure music.

Hao Yun felt so passionate after listening to it that he planned to recommend himself in the hope that he could use it as BGM when making promotional videos for fighter jets in the future.

Use it for free!
Flight Of The Silverbird literally means the flight of the silver bird, and can also be translated as "Eagle Soaring into the Sky".

The eagle hits the sky, the fish is shallow, and the tens of thousands of frosts are free.
