Chapter 934: Bald Overnight (asking for monthly ticket)
"Come, celebrate the release of "Hello! Mr. Tree!"

Hao Yun raised his glass and announced that the film was officially released. In addition to being screened at the Venice International Film Festival, domestic theaters will also schedule screenings for "Hello! Mr. Tree" one after another.

But everyone knows one thing.

That is, if "Hello! Mr. Tree" wants to get box office success, it must win an award at the Venice International Film Festival.

Winning a prize may not necessarily lead to a box office hit, but at least it is easier to get a box office hit than not winning a prize.

"I saw someone asked you about overseas copyright today. The overseas copyright alone should be enough for you to make back your investment, right?" Gao Qunshu was actually also a member of Heidou Media. He just needed a press conference to sign the contract.

He first filmed "Jinling" and then "The Sun Also Rises".

The reason why he was not in a hurry to join the company was because Lu Yan had just said that Hao Yun was messing with him some time ago, so he had to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

“Not that high, still a little short, but there’s not much pressure to make back the investment.”

Hao Yun really doesn't have any pressure.

As soon as the movie premiered today, overseas film producers came to congratulate him on the recognition of his new movie by filmmakers.

This makes a lot of sense.

Don’t talk about getting the audience’s approval, because that will help you lower the price.

This is indeed the case. Most of the audience at this year's movie premiere were filmmakers.

Only a small number of movie tickets were released to the public, and most of them were bought by domestic and foreign fans who liked Hao Yun.

Currently, a film company has expressed its willingness to purchase the overseas copyright of "Hello! Mr. Tree" for one million US dollars.

The price is not high, but it is also a reasonable price.

There is almost no chance that such a subject matter can be shown in theaters. If it is bought back, the best that can be done is to sell discs, TVs, airlines, hotel services, etc.

The profit margin is limited and it is unlikely to be priced too high.

However, even if it is one million dollars, it is almost enough to cover the production cost of eight million.

The box office can just do whatever it wants to break even.

With Hao Yun's current appeal in the country, a box office of three to five million will be easily within his grasp.

"I'm so envious. Is it possible to sell the overseas copyright of "Jinling"? " Gao Qunshu's movie had a total box office of 1.8 million yuan.

Compared to the cost of 6000 million, this box office result is definitely a profit.

It will be released in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Bangbang and other places later, and it will be able to make some money back at the box office.

There are also subsidies, rewards, and copyright sales from the Zheng government.

Gao Qunshu's goal now is no longer to make a profit. He hopes that people all over the world can see his film and have a deeper understanding of the Nanjing Massacre.

"Let's take a look at the screening tomorrow and see if any film producers are interested." That was all Hao Yun could say.

"One million dollars is fine!" Gao Qunshu didn't ask for more.

"One million... one million is not a low price."

Hao Yun was speechless, as he spoke as if one million dollars was not a lot of money.

Don’t think that one million dollars is nothing just because someone offered a million dollars for “Hello! Mr. Tree”.

Hao Yun was able to sell the copyright outside these regions for a million dollars mainly because he had already made a name for himself.

Other Chinese directors also want to sell, but firstly, there is no market and they cannot sell at a high price. Secondly, they lack the corresponding channels. If they want to sell a movie for $20, they may need to spend $25 in marketing costs and more energy, which is simply not worth the effort.

However, FC Films is currently planning to get involved in this business sector.

However, the profits in this sector are relatively thin, and it is slow to start from scratch, so we plan to acquire an international film and television copyright agency to quickly enter this market.

If he can do it, Hao Yun can sell Chinese-language films all over the world.

Even if the price is very low, only tens of thousands of dollars, it is already very good for many directors.

The most important thing is to be able to sell your works all over the world.

The main reason why Director Jia can survive by making non-theatrical films is that he has already opened up the market. His films can be sold to more than 70 countries. Small amounts add up to a lot, and each of his films does not lose money.

There are many difficulties in distributing Chinese films overseas, but there are also many benefits.

Firstly, Hao Yun has a very special position in the Chinese film industry. He is able to select suitable movies, thus reducing the risk in the film selection process.

Those people in Hong Kong not only cheat Taiwanese film distributors, they also cheat overseas distributors.

Secondly, it will help Chinese films go global.

This thing may not be beneficial when it is done, but it will definitely not be ignored if it is done well.

This will help to build a golden image for Heidou Media, which has no solid background. "Alas, how come Lebanon can be shortlisted for the main competition unit and is a favorite for the Golden Lion Award, but my Jinling can't even be shortlisted for the main competition unit."

Gao Qunshu was very depressed.

In comparison, the Venice International Film Festival has a relatively low threshold among the three major film festivals.

If he gets nothing here, he will go to other film festivals.

"Lao Gao, don't be discouraged. Chinese-language films really don't have much influence, so we just need to work hard."

Hao Yun is never afraid of challenges. What he fears most is that the road has come to an end and there is nothing left to challenge.

Then he would fall into a panic, not knowing what to do.

"I understand. I just feel a little emotional." Gao Qunshu sighed. These foreign film festivals have also developed for many years to get to where they are today.

On the day of the screening of "Jinling", many domestic and foreign audiences came to the screening room who were curious about this period of history and this event.

They want to see how Chinese directors express this history.

But the excitement is definitely not as great as when a movie premieres here.

The occupancy rate was only about half.

Almost all the Chinese people who came to participate in the Venice International Film Festival are here.

No matter how much fighting there is among the people, at least they should show a consistent stance externally.

This was not the first time Hao Yun had watched this movie, but he still felt very heavy in his heart, and many people around him had cried for it.

This shows that Gao Qunshu's film was indeed very successful.

Otherwise, the box office would not have remained strong.

Even if Lu Yan's film is not removed from the shelves, Gao Qunshu will win in a head-on confrontation if the two films are released at the same time.
Hao Yun's script was not written in vain, and Gao Qunshu's strength is also there.

When walking out of the cinema, Hao Yun was besieged by the media. He is the screenwriter and producer of "Jinling".

"Hao Yun, are you confident that you can win the Golden Lion Award this time?"

Looking at his Chinese appearance and listening to his Mandarin accent, Hao Yun wanted to slap him away.

"Jinling" just finished airing. Instead of asking me questions about "Jinling", you asked me if I had confidence in the Golden Lion Award? Are you fucking sick?

So he responded in a bad tone: "If possible, I hope that Jinling can win the Golden Lion Award."

This is obviously impossible because "Jinling" was not even shortlisted for the main competition unit.

The reporter said sheepishly: "Both 'Hello! Mr. Tree' and 'Jinling' are good movies. They both represent the true level of Chinese films. No matter which one wins the Golden Lion Award, it will be the pride of Chinese films."

At this time, Hao Yun no longer wanted to pay attention to him. These questions were not what he wanted to answer, so he planned to refuse to answer the reporter's questions.

Fortunately, other media gathered around and started asking Hao Yun questions about the movie "Jinling".

"I heard that you asked Gao Qunshu to direct this movie. Why didn't you direct it yourself?"

"I think Director Gao Qunshu shot the film very well. If I were to shoot it myself, I might not be as good as him. In some ways, his experience and directing techniques make him more mature than me. I am very happy that he is directing this film."

"There are multiple names listed in the screenwriter column. So how did everyone collaborate during the scriptwriting stage?"

"At first, I had this idea, but after all, I am just a young man in my 20s and cannot bear the historical weight of this subject. So I asked some seniors in the industry to polish the script. It is a process of continuous improvement and the crystallization of collective wisdom. Director Gao Qunshu made the final revision and expressed it in film language."

When Hao Yun answered reporters' questions, he basically gave all the credit to Gao Qunshu.

This made Gao Qunshu, who was standing on the side, very moved.

When he took on this film, many people in the industry laughed at him, saying that he was a well-known director after all, but he was willing to be a lackey for a young man.

It's simply self-degradation.

Some people also said that he definitely couldn't perform as well as Hao Yun, and that taking on this movie was a mistake and could easily ruin his reputation.

All kinds of pressure were concentrated on him.

The film went through the difficult review process, was filmed with great difficulty, and has been released smoothly until now.

He went from a middle-aged man with thinning hair to a bald man, and now he is completely bald.

I don’t know which one is more heartbreaking: turning your hair white overnight or becoming bald overnight.

But listening to Hao Yun's praise and flattery of him now, he felt that it was all worth it.

Hao Yun is really a good guy to get along with.
