Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

In the tea restaurant of Peninsula Hotel.

Xu Cun looked bitter, and said, "Uncle Chang, can we eat somewhere else next time?"

"Both Lu Yuntao and Shao Laoliu like to drink tea here, so most Xiangjiang filmmakers also like to drink tea here. This can be regarded as a kind of memorial service to the martyrs." He Yuchang said.

Xu Cun slandered: "Fart martyr, Shao Yifu is not dead yet, and he lived more than ten years longer than you."

"A Cun, you really don't consider coming to Jiahe?" He Yuchang said again.

"Uncle Chang, I respect you and Uncle Huai, and I like our Golden Harvest business philosophy even more. However, there are too many people over there. If I go there again, everyone will have a hard time." Xu Cun said heartily.

After hearing what Xu Cun said, He Yuchang secretly sighed at Xu Cun's ambition, and then said: "What are you going to do about overseas distribution?"

As soon as He Yuchang's words came out of his mouth, Xu Cun guessed that Golden Harvest was interested in the overseas distribution rights of DreamWorks films.

To be honest, Xu Cun really admires the minds of the few leaders of Golden Harvest—in this respect, Shao Yifu can't catch up with them even if he flatters his horse.

However, admiration is admiration, and business is business. Therefore, despite admiring the people of Golden Harvest, Xu Cun still said calmly: "I have already found a good partner on the Taiwan Bend side, and "Hitch the Wrong Car" was published by them. On the Nanyang side, Cathay Pacific has sent people to I have been contacted. In Japan, the Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada in "Royal Senior Sister" put up the line. I have already contacted Shochiku Films. In Japan, I will hand over to Shochiku Films for distribution. In Korea, there is no suitable candidate for the time being. But I guess it won't be long before someone will find me."

After hearing what Xu Cun said, He Yuchang sighed in his heart: "Taking advantage of Shao Lao Liu's carelessness, this kid has already become famous! Now, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, I'm afraid no one can restrain his development!"

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, He Yuchang smiled and said, "What? Are you going to publish it yourself?"

Xu Cun said helplessly: "I can't help it, I can't be trapped in Xiangjiang, can I?"

Be obedient and listen to the sound - with He Yuchang's old ways, how can you not understand that Xu Cun also wants Golden Harvest to release DreamWorks movies?

So, He Yuchang answered with a smile: "A Cun, how about we Golden Harvest helping you distribute the overseas one?"

When cooperating with Shao Yifu, Xu Cun would never cooperate with Jiahe, because it would be a small loss.

But it’s different now—due to parting ways with Shao Yifu, in Nanyang, Xu Cun had to rely on Cathay Pacific for distribution. The distribution fee offered by the person who approached Xu Cun was not much cheaper than that of Jiahe, and Xu Cun would not hand it over to Jiahe for distribution. It may rely on its status as Cathay Pacific's largest film supplier to suppress DreamWorks' films. In Japan, although Xu Cun was in contact with Shochiku Yinghua, the distribution fee charged by Shochiku Yinghua was higher than that of Shaw Brothers, but the distribution intensity was much lower than that of Shaw Brothers. The most troublesome thing is South Korea. For some reason, no one from South Korea has come to Xu Cun until now.

The most important thing is that the current DreamWorks is too weak, and Xu Cun doesn't want to spend his energy on self-publishing just to save the publishing fee.

Therefore, seeing He Yuchang on the road, Xu Cun said bluntly: "Taiwan can't do it, I've already found a partner. In other places, how do you plan to charge publishing fees at Golden Harvest?"

He Yuchang was a little unhappy about not being able to win the distribution rights in the Taiwan area-currently, Taiwan is the largest film market in Asia besides Japan.

However, He Yuchang couldn't do anything about it. Xiangjiang and Taiwan were too close, so close that it would not be difficult for a reputable film company to establish a distribution channel in Taiwan.

"Ten, how?" He Yuchang asked.

"Uncle Chang, I won't lie to you. Shaw Brothers charges me 8.50 for distribution. If Golden Harvest can also charge me this price, I will hand over DreamWorks' overseas distribution rights to Golden Harvest." Xu Cun countered. .

In fact, the distribution fee Shaw received from Xu Cun was 9, and Xu Cun kept the 0.5 to bargain for He Yuchang.

However, what Xu Cun didn't expect was that He Yuchang agreed directly: "Yes." Then he said: "But we have one condition."

A trace of vigilance arose in Xu Cun's heart, but he asked calmly, "What conditions?"

"The two of us will jointly produce a big production." He Yuchang said.

"What kind of joint law?" Xu Cun asked.

"You are the director and screenwriter, you can choose the actors of Golden Harvest at will, and after the production is completed, it will be screened at the Golden Harvest Cinemas and the Golden Princess Cinemas at the same time. We will split the production fee in half, and the profit will also be split in half." He Yuchang replied.

"Who does the copyright belong to?" Xu Cun asked.

"Jiahe." He Yuchang replied.

Xu Cun roughly guessed what Golden Harvest wanted to do—Zou Wenhuai was planning to go to Hollywood, and he also wanted to bring a decent grade to Hollywood.

Xu Cun remembers that in October of this year, Zou Wenhuai announced in Hollywood with arrogance: Golden Harvest will invest 60 million US dollars to shoot six big-budget films featuring international superstars!

Zou Wenhuai did not break his promise, "Killer's Trench" started shooting as planned! The movie hired Hollywood star Jose Farah Christine Qiu Beier, the director is also Hollywood's Rob Golos, and Xiangjiang's side is starring Cheng Long and Zhao Jianing.

To be honest, "Killer's Trench" was not a successful attempt, but Xu Cun admired Zou Wenhuai's enterprising spirit. Moreover, this matter is related to the honor of the Chinese people. Therefore, Xu Cun is going to help Zou Wenhuai.

Of course, in business and business, helping is one aspect, but money matters cannot be sloppy! Therefore, Xu Cun said leisurely: "It sounds like I'm at a disadvantage."

"Golden Harvest can buy the copyright of the movie we jointly produced." He Yuchang said the plan he had in mind.

"Then how much are you and Uncle Huai going to give me to buy the copyright of this movie?" Xu Cun asked.

"If we quote, more or less will not be appropriate. How about we calculate it at the box office?" He Yuchang suggested.

"What calculation method?" Xu Cun asked again.

"How about buying the copyright of this movie with a quarter of the local box office plus overseas box office?" He Yuchang said very grandly.

To be honest, this price is not low. If calculated according to the box office of "Mr. Zombie", Xu Cunjian can earn nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars just by selling the copyright.

Of course, not all films can achieve the results of "Mr. Zombie", and most of the films are not even qualified to be sold locally - this is one of the reasons why He Yuchang asked such a price.

Although the price offered by He Yuchang was not low, Xu Cun was not satisfied with it. He looked at He Yuchang and said confidently: "I happen to have a good movie here, and I originally planned to make it into a series of movies. However, if you Jiahe It can give me one-third of the domestic box office plus overseas box office. I promise, use this movie to send Uncle Huai to Hollywood with glory!"
