China Entertainment 1997

The overseas copyright of "Xiu Chun Dao" was sold for US$7.5 million. I read that some book friends are confused. Please explain.

It was different around 2004 than now. Domestic blockbusters at that time were really popular.

According to the public information I checked, the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords" by Mr. Xu is no less than 10 million US dollars. In the same year, there was also a "Raptor" co-produced by China and the United States. Several of the leading actors are new generation actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It has limited reputation abroad and sold for US$10 million.

Lao Mouzi and Japan's Akira Kurosawa said at the time that "House of Flying Daggers" sold 200 million yuan in Cannes, "A City of Gold" sold more than 30 million U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States, and 10 million U.S. dollars in Japan...

There is definitely some moisture in this data, but it should be 60% to 80% true. Otherwise, the movie will not make money and the film studio will not invest hundreds of millions.

At that time, the domestic market had not yet developed, and making money overseas was the main psychology of all film and television investors.

Considering Cao Xuan's fame in Europe and the United States and the popularity of martial arts, I think it is very conservative to pay 7.5 million US dollars to acquire all the copyrights outside Asia.

With Universal's level of film studio channels, 18 million can be easily repaid. Even if it is to try the film and television appeal of Cao Xuan, an international singer, I think Universal is willing to pay to try.

If you can make money, you will be a new partner. If you don’t make money, you won’t lose much, so why not do it?

Taking all things into consideration, I think this data may be a little distorted, but it cannot be said to be self-indulgent.

For every relevant plot I write, I check some information and then deduce it. It may not be correct, but it is basically not too far away from reality, and it may even lower my sense of enjoyment.

In my initial expectation, many of Cao Xuan's data were far more exaggerated than in the book.

But considering that reality does not require logic, and novels also need logic, I actually deliberately suppressed Cao Xuan

So you can say that I am biased about the data in the book, but I don’t take the blame for “exaggerating to please oneself”

In addition, there are some friends who may not like this book very much. We can just get together and relax. There is no need to "prick" me occasionally.

Maybe this is your alternative way of expressing friendliness, but I personally don’t like it very much.

Okay, I’m here to express my thoughts during the Chinese New Year. Let’s stop talking. I’m going to code.
