Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 79 A Gift of Fate

"Mr. Tang, is it true that you found 2000 theaters in North America to screen 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'?"

In contrast to Li Zhi, Li Lianjie was very excited at this moment.

Having worked in Hollywood, he knew exactly what that meant!

He couldn't believe it when he first heard the news.

This is the treatment given to mainstream Hollywood films.

There are only a little over 3000 franchises of a hit series like Lethal Weapon 4.

That's already the limit.

"It's true, so you don't need to worry about overseas distribution. I've already taken care of it. You just need to focus on making a good movie."

Tang Jinshan was not modest either.

He spent $1.5 million to get this!

A group of people looked at Tang Jinshan with shining eyes.

Yang Ziqiong has also worked in Hollywood and acted in 007 films, so she knows exactly what kind of treatment this is.

Tang Jinshan is incredibly powerful!

To put it another way, Lee An's previous film, "Sense and Sensibility," was initially shown on a small scale in North America before gradually expanding to 1000 theaters.

Even so, it grossed over 40 million US dollars at the North American box office!

Now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has opened in 2,000 theaters, she has no idea how Tang Jinshan managed to do it!

Anyway, this treatment is definitely not because of Director Li's name.

Fan Bingbing and Zhang Chuanmei didn't know what this meant, but they were clear that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would be released in the United States!

This is also thanks to Tang Jinshan.

He's amazing!

The director was extremely worried when Sony withdrew from the distribution.

However, now he is putting in all his effort and is working non-stop even during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone could see the urgency in his eyes.

At a banquet, Tang Jinshan became the absolute focus of attention.

Han Shanping, Jiang Wen, and others also came to visit, making it even more lively.

The fact that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" opened in 2,000 theaters in North America made them green with envy.

Jiang Wen wished this were his own movie.

No, his "Devils on the Doorstep" must also be distributed overseas!

Han Shanping, however, thought of something more.

The mainland Chinese film market is shrinking and needs reform.

However, it would be an even greater achievement if Chinese-language films could go global!

Perhaps, this hope lies with Tang Jinshan?

Moreover, he is now both a major investor and a distribution channel, making him a highly coveted asset!

Thinking of this, he was more eager than many of the women present!

Some women who are looking for an opportunity can't wait to get rid of him!

After the feast, Lin Xilei emerged as the ultimate victor.

She was an outsider and had no inhibitions whatsoever.

His relationship with Tang Jinshan was no secret.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

Unlike Li Dabai, who was shy and hesitant in front of others.

However, Tang Jinshan still made time to talk to her later.

Seeing how aggressively and diligently she's pushing, we should at least make arrangements for her future.

The promises made must be kept.

"Boss, I was just thinking of coming to see you after the New Year."

Cai Yinong arrived gracefully, also reaching the capital.

Tang Jinshan called her over.

"What a coincidence, I also need to talk to you about something."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

"Boss, you didn't forget what you said before, that you'd give me 20 million in funding for my first project, did you?"

Cai Yinong's eyes were eager.

"That depends on your performance. If you want funding, you'll have to fight for it yourself."

Tang Jinshan smiled broadly.

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Cai Yinong could only lower her head helplessly.

She was too naive, thinking that bowing her head only once would be enough.

After spending more than half an hour, Cai Yinong, with her witty remarks, finally persuaded Tang Jinshan to invest.

They successfully secured 300 million yuan.

Tang Jinshan told her not to waste it and to take it all.

He hates nothing more than people who line their own pockets and engage in extravagance.

If it were a movie, it would affect the system's rating.

Therefore, he has always been very sensitive in this regard.

Cai Yinong frowned even more deeply.

However, upon seeing a check for five million, her brows instantly relaxed.

"I'll give you 500 million in start-up capital first, and the remaining 1500 million will be credited to your account in installments."

"Thank you, boss!"

Cai Yinong smiled broadly and solemnly put the check away.

This was an investment she had worked incredibly hard to secure!

"What are you planning to film for your first project?"

Tang Jinshan asked.

I had just forgotten.

"I'm planning a remake of 'The Legendary Twins,' and I'm looking for actors from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong!"

Cai Yinong clearly had this idea in mind.

"Okay, Mr. Cai, work hard and achieve results."

Tang Jinshan also knew that audiences nowadays recognize Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Only by hiring Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars can TV dramas sell for high prices.

This is the current trend, and he can't change it.

The Tang people have always followed this route.

"Your problem is solved, but I still need to talk to you about something."

Tang Jinshan added.

"Boss, just say what you want!"

Cai Yinong was happy to share the burden with her boss.

Besides just talking about it.

"I'll recommend two artists to you; you can sign them to your company."

Tang Jinshan said.

One of them is naturally Li Xiaoying.

Another one he thought of was Sun Li.

She and Cai Yinong were destined to be together.

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely give them the best arrangements."

Cai Yinong didn't even ask who it was.

After taking the money, supporting the boss with two mistresses is part of the job.

Moreover, these are by no means the last two.

Tang Jinshan liked her awareness.

The next day, he introduced Li Xiao to Cai Yinong.

As for Sun Li, let her go find her herself.

When Cai Yinong saw Li Xiaozai, her eyes lit up immediately.

He's definitely a promising talent, with incredibly strong financial backing!

No wonder the boss was so eager to pave the way for her and summoned her to the capital.

Come to think of it, it was because of her that I suffered such a great loss, wasn't it?

However, she wasn't foolish enough to argue with her boss's mistress.

Otherwise, whispering in someone's ear will only bring you trouble.

That bastard did it to himself, but it was definitely just for the sense of conquest.

It's better to have the money in your hands than to expect him to stand up for you.

She then followed the instructions and went to the Beijing Film Academy to find Sun Li.

Another promising talent!

She was reassured by her boss's judgment; at least he wouldn't be a burden to the company.

In fact, she liked Sun Li very much at first sight; she was very much to her liking.

It has the potential to become a star!

However, her expression soon turned strange.

According to some rumors at the school, Sun Li was Huang Lei's student before.

Huang Lei is currently filming a movie in Singapore that his boss invested in.

Now, the boss wants me to sign Sun Li again —

Various shady deals flashed through her mind.

That bastard boss is just too evil!

Sun Li was unaware that she had been wronged once again. She was quite surprised to learn that a company had approached her to sign her.

"Ms. Cai, you said you wanted to sign me?"

Sun Li was puzzled.

"Yes, I think highly of your image. In addition to signing you, I also plan to cast you as the female lead. My company is currently preparing to film 'The Legendary Twins,' and I want you to play Tie Xinlan."

Cai Yinong said.

This was also the boss's arrangement.

So you really can't blame her for thinking the wrong thing.

As for the role of Little Chili, it has been handed over to Li Xiaozai.

Lan Jieying plays the role of Yaoyue.

Lin Xilei plays Murong Jiu, and Zhou Liqi plays Hua Yuenü.

Some roles were already decided beforehand.

When Cai Yinong received this list, she was utterly shocked.

Especially Yammie Lam, who caused quite a stir before.

Could the boss be having an affair with her too?

I admire you!

Sun Li was equally shocked.
