123 [Longxiang Films]
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lin Lixia asked hurriedly when she saw her father's expression change suddenly.
"Put down the bottle quickly." Lin Weiliang said quickly, carefully putting the bottle back into the box.
"What's wrong?" Lin Lixia said in confusion, "Hey, there is something in this bottle."
She turned the bottle upside down, reached into the bottle, took out the things inside, and saw that it was an appraisal certificate.
This appraisal certificate was issued by the Xiangjiang Art Chamber of Commerce and was written in Chinese and English. Although I can’t understand English, I know both Chinese.
It was written on it. The plum vase with blue and white flowers and flowers in the Yongzheng official kiln of the Qing Dynasty was written. The products in the picture identified by this association were official kiln products from 1722 to 1735 AD, and in the Yongzheng period.
It also has photos of vases, seals of the chamber of commerce, signatures of the appraiser, etc.
There is also a line of small characters at the bottom, and this chamber of commerce promises to be legally responsible for the authenticity of the work.
"Hey, this pair of bottles was from the Yongzheng period." Lin Lixia said in surprise, "Isn't that something from hundreds of years ago?"
"Of course, this is an antique." Lin Weiliang quickly put the bottle and said, "Be careful not to break it."
"Husband, how much is this bottle worth?" Malanying asked curiously.
"I don't know either, it's not cheap anyway." Lin Weiliang shook his head and said.
"Let me find someone who knows what you know." Lin Chengsen suggested, "The things from the Yongzheng year should be worth more than 100,000 yuan."
Lin Weiliang thought about it and then called a friend of his.
That friend was a history teacher at school and should have a certain understanding of antiques.
"Old Dong, how much does it cost to have blue and white plum vases wrapped in flowers and patterns on the official kiln of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty?" He asked someone for advice.
"Oh, that's a good thing. It's worth at least one million NTDs." Old Dong said with a smile when he heard this.
"One million, so many?" Lin Weiliang was startled, "One pair or one?"
"Of course it's one. If it's a pair, the price will double and it will increase by another 50%. "Old Dong smiled, "After all, good things are in pairs, and pairs of Yongzheng official kiln plum vases are rare."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Weiliang then hung up the phone tremblingly.
"Husband, how much is it worth?" Malanying asked curiously.
Lin Qingxia, Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen also came over curiously.
"It costs about NT$3 million." Lin Weiliang glanced at them and spoke in disbelief.
Hearing that he said, the few people suddenly widened their eyes.
"Oh my God, this pair of vases is worth so much money?!" Lin Lixia said in shock, feeling unbelievable.
"Taiwan dollars three million!" Malanying nodded, "After all, it's Ajin, it's generous to take action."
"He is really rich. The first time he met, he gave such an expensive gift." Lin Chengsen smiled, "Big sister, it seems that he really likes you."
When Lin Qingxia heard this, her eyes couldn't help but look brilliant.
...
Ye Jin, Wu Siyuan and others left the airport and booked a hotel first.
This time, both of them learned their lessons and did not inform the merchants of the specific time to come to Taiwan, nor did they need to pick up the merchants and book hotels, so as not to let their itinerary be leaked again.
It is enough to see the darkness of Taiwanese film industry once, and no one wants to encounter it again.
After booking the hotel, Wu Siyuan contacted the merchant.
This time, the business of "Drunk Box" is Taiwan's Longxiang Pictures, and no longer Ni Xuan's Jin Pictures. Because Jin Pictures is just a small businessman, a movie with such a high box office as "Drunk Box" has no strength to win the exercise.
Longxiang Pictures is much stronger than Jin Film. It was founded in the 1970s and was originally engaged in the Western Film business.
However, the Taiwanese authorities have restricted Western film stores. For example, only 162 Western films are allowed to be introduced every year, and only eight copies are allowed to be introduced; each city must not play Western films at the same time; each Western film is introduced, and a tutoring fee of NT$100,000 is required to subsidize the shooting of Mandarin films, etc.
Compared with restricted Western films, Hong Kong films are regarded as Mandarin films and are not restricted. Moreover, in recent years, Hong Kong films have also achieved higher and higher box offices in Taiwan, so Longxiang Film has tried to transform from Xingxi films to Xingmanic films.
This "Drunk Boxing" is its first transformation work. In order to achieve higher box office and ensure the success of the transformation, Longxiang Pictures invited Ye Jin to Taiwan to promote it.
...
"Mr. Ye, please give me everything this time." Wang Yingxiang, the CEO of Longxiang Film Industry, smiled and said to Ye Jin, and at the same time handed over a thick red envelope, "Don't refuse a little car fee."
"Mr. Wang is so polite." Ye Jin smiled, without refusal, and took the red envelope.
When celebrities promote movies, they must pay for cars and horses. After all, celebrities attend events, they have to buy clothes, put on makeup, buy air tickets, stay in a hotel... everything costs money.
However, this car fee is usually calculated within the pay. When a celebrity signs a contract with a film dealer, it usually stipulates how many times he has to participate in. There are many incidents in the entertainment industry where celebrities break contracts and refuse to participate in promotions, and are sued by the film dealer.
But when Ye Jin signed a contract with Wu Siyuan, he only stipulated the filming of movies, but there were no rigid regulations on publicity. Therefore, in principle, Ye Jin did not have to come to Taiwan to promote "Drunk Boxing".
Wu Siyuan knew this and Wang Yingxiang also understood it, so he gave a red envelope.
Ye Jin estimated that the money in the red envelope should be NT$50,000.
Although it is not a lot, it is enough for the round-trip expenses.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, this is the promotional itinerary I arranged. Please see if there is anything wrong with it." Wang Yingxiang smiled and handed a piece of paper.
Ye Jin took it and saw that the itinerary was densely written on itinerary.
He was interviewed by Taiwanese media reporters from 1:00 to 3:00, and filmed the magazine cover from 3:30 to 4:30; accepted radio interview from 5:00 to 6:00; participated in the theater roadshow from 6:30 to 8:30; rushed to the TV station to participate in "Star Club" at 9:00; returned to the hotel to rest at 11:00. He came around and took a plane back to Xiangjiang in the morning.
Such a trip is indeed very rush. But for Ye Jin, this is just a trivial meaning.
Accepted interviews by reporters, filmed magazine covers, watched movies with movie fans, and sang on variety shows... Compared to filming scenes, these things are as relaxed as breathing. They are neither tired nor painful, and they are not too comfortable.
"There's nothing wrong." Ye Jin nodded and smiled, "Mr. Wang, you have a very high wrist. How can you even let me go to TV to promote?"
The last time he came to Taiwan to promote "Snake Shame Hand", he didn't have the chance to go on TV to promote it.
"This is not my credit, it is your own strength." Wang Yingxiang waved his hand and explained with a smile, "Taiwan Audio and Video said you are coming to do promotion, so he took the initiative to contact me and hope you can be on its program."
When Ye Jin heard this, he suddenly realized.
