Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 144 It's true that all Chinese people know kung fu!

"Tang Jinshan acquires Milkyway Image for 30 million!"

"Andy Lau restructures Teamwork Motion Pictures; Tang Jinshan invests 20 million!"

"Tang Jinshan invests in Chen Jia's new film '2000 AD,' with a budget of up to 3000 million!"

"Aaron Kwok has been confirmed to play the lead role in '2000 AD'."

Tang Jinshan invests 2000 million yuan in Leslie Cheung's new film "The Gunman"!

One piece of news after another was revealed, and Tang Jinshan was once again in the eye of the storm.

Writing news articles was easy for them, but Tang Jinshan was worried about assigning roles.

"Jianghu Crisis", starring Leung Ka-fai and Chingmy Yau.

Anyway, they've already worked together in God of Gamblers 2.

There's also "The New Human Skin Lantern".

Actually, we've collaborated quite a few times.

"2000 AD" stars Aaron Kwok and Wan Yiwen, with Li Dabai playing a supporting role.

Even Du Qifeng's film "Needing You..." was put on the agenda after he got the money.

That quick-draw guy is something else; he's running two projects at the same time now.

However, Milkyway Image has plenty of people.

The male lead has already been cast as Andy Lau, while the female lead, Tang Jinshan, is planned to be played by Lin Xilei.

For the rest, we can only compensate in other ways.

Before we knew it, another half month had passed.

"The Selfless New Youth" has finished its run.

The final box office was 600 million.

Considering the reduced publicity, it's "not bad".

It did better at the box office than "The Birth of a Warrior".

The copyrights for various media outlets, including mainland Chinese movie channels and television stations, sold for 600 million yuan, while other overseas copyrights plus DVDs were sold for 200 million yuan.

With marketing and promotion costs of 200 million, the total loss is 3208 million.

Tenfold return, 3.2 million in hand!

Similarly, all kinds of awards and subsidies remained at the Beijing Film Studio.

I heard they're planning to make several movies next year.

One of the films, "The Western Mirror," tells the story of how movies were introduced to China, and Tang Jinshan cast Zhang Ziyi as the female lead.

This is a way of making it up to her.

He then went to Hollywood.

I went to the company to take a look, and I was surprised to find that Drew Barrymore was doing a great job.

Production of Charlie's Angels is already underway.

As he had previously decided, the other two roles were given to Li Jiaxin and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Upon learning of his arrival, Drew Barrymore extended a warm welcome to him.

The two were doing personal things while discussing business.

"How's the filming of 'Charlie's Angels' going?"

Tang Jinshan liked the unrestrained nature of these foreign women.

"Filming is currently underway, everything is going smoothly, and the new production line is also very cooperative."

Drew Barrymore said happily.

As a first-time producer, she was under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, New Line, as an investor, provided a lot of support.

She knew it was all because of Tang Jinshan.

"Honey, congratulations! Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is doing incredibly well at the box office!"

Drew Barrymore was also happy for Tang Jinshan and had been keeping an eye on the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This was also released by New Line Cinema, and the two sides are already locked in a fierce battle.

Who would have thought that a Chinese-language film could gross over 100 million yuan?

She went to see it too, and it was indeed very well filmed.

Li An has always been very strong.

She even borrowed elements from the action scenes in the film.

Fan Yongyong's portrayal of Yu Jiaolong was outstanding!

She liked everything she saw.

It's a pity she didn't star in "Charlie's Angels".

However, Li Jiaxin is also very capable, especially in action scenes, where she moves with incredible fluidity and skill.

She had a strange feeling that all Eastern women were such good fighters.

It's true that all Chinese people know kung fu!

"Thanks!"

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did indeed do very well at the box office.

After a one-month extension, the box office revenue was 2200 million in the fifth week, 1960 million in the sixth week, and 1540 million in the seventh week.

The total box office has exceeded $1.6 million!

There were quite a few movies released in November, which created competition.

November is considered a relatively important release period in North America.

Halloween and Thanksgiving are traditionally major markets for horror films.

The most important holiday is Halloween at the end of December, and some movies that are not confident about their release will be released early or to generate hype.

On November 5th, Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie's "The Mystery Puzzle" and Al Pacino and Russell Crowe's "The Insider" were released.

On November 12th, Luc Besson and Milla Jovovich's "Joan of Arc" was released.

On November 16, Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci's "Sleepy Hollow" and Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The End of the World" were released.

On November 19, Pierce Brosnan and Sophie Marceau's "The World Is Not Enough" was released.

This is also one of Sophie Marceau's most classic roles.

Compared to the deserted month of October, it was much more lively.

Furthermore, Toy Story 2 is scheduled for release on November 24th.

Given the huge success of the first film, who knows why they scheduled it for release this way.

Logically, it should definitely be placed at Christmas.

Even with the momentum of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Warner Bros. is preparing to release "Romeo Must Die" starring Jet Li ahead of schedule.

He was also one of the biggest beneficiaries of the huge box office success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Now, a ton of Hollywood companies are sending him scripts.

Even the new line has this idea.

Toy Story 2 and The World Is Not Enough were both box office hits, and Sleepy Hollow and The End of the World also did very well at the box office.

The number of screenings for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been greatly reduced.

However, thanks to the positive word-of-mouth it had built up before, the box office performance remained strong.

Many small cinemas have made contributions.

In addition, it has been released in various overseas countries, and so far, the box office has reached more than 3300 million, which is much less than that in North America.

Including East Asian countries, the global box office has already approached $200 million!

It's almost caught up with the total box office of the previous life.

However, Tang Jinshan knew that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still had a lot of staying power.

In the original timeline, the film was first screened on a small scale, and only after its performance was good was it expanded to a larger scale and eventually released nationwide.

All in all, including the Oscar boost, it was in theaters for a full six months!

This created a long-tail effect similar to that of Titanic.

That's why it achieved a legendary box office of two hundred million dollars.

And now, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can still ride the wave of global awards and the Oscars next year!

He is looking forward to his performance.

After receiving comprehensive care from Drew Barrymore, Tang Jinshan went to find Li Jiaxin.

After finishing filming "Shanghai Noon," she joined the cast of "Charlie's Angels," keeping her very busy.

"Hmph! You've had your fill of fun in the country, and now you're willing to come back?"

Li Jiaxin spoke with fiery enthusiasm.

Tang Jinshan helped her find leading roles in two Hollywood movies, for which she was very grateful.

However, she was quite unhappy that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did so well at the box office and that Fan Bingbing was so outstanding.

This role originally belonged to her!

It's all because of that bastard Tang Jinshan!

"What are you doing in Hollywood? Coming to see Fan Bingbing?"

Li Jiaxin then confronted him again.

"Of course we came to see you. Didn't Fan Bingbing and the others go to Europe for promotions?"

At this point, you certainly can't say the wrong thing.

"You know quite a lot about this!"

Li Jiaxin was even more annoyed.

Fan Shuibing travels all over the world, enjoying all kinds of scenery.

But she suffers here.

Left with no other choice, Tang Jinshan had to make amends to her and appease her anger.

What a greedy woman!

I wonder how many people would want the treatment you receive!
