Chapter 339 The Weight of a Thousand Gold 2
"In 1962, Li Hanxiang's "Yang Guifei" participated in the competition and won an indoor color photography award. This was the first trophy won by a Chinese-language film at Cannes.
In 1964, the mainland's ink animation "Tadpole Looking for Mom" took home an honorary award.
In 1975, Hu Jinquan's "The Heroine" won another technical award.
The above are all the achievements of Chinese-language films competing in Cannes. Now, the fourth trophy has appeared. "Orphan" won the FIPRESCI Award, which represents the highest recognition of this film by European film critics..."
Those who know how to do it are just bragging, and those who don’t know how to do it just don’t realize it. In fact, the above three awards are also small awards. The so-called technical award is awarded to those who obey the Taoism.
Just get the prize, the key is the following data: "The price of all copyrights for "Tai Chi 2" in regions other than Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia is US$3 million, and the global copyright of "Orphan's Revenge" is US$7 million.
This also sets the best record for Chinese-language films in overseas markets!"
boom!
This operation is no less than Chen Qi dropping a little boy into Hong Kong.
The one with the highest net worth at present is undoubtedly Cheng Long. The most popular person overseas is also Cheng Long. His copyright in Japan can be sold for more than 2 million US dollars, and later the highest price was over 5 million.
But everyone can understand that action movies can be sold at high prices.
The most amazing thing about "Orphan" is that no one can understand it: it is a horror thriller, why are Americans willing to spend so much money to buy it???
By the way: The matter of overseas copyright requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation. Most Chinese-language films cannot be sold at a high price, but a few can really fight for it. For example, Li Lien-lien's bad movie "The Legend of White Snake" can be sold for 20 million.
Overseas rights in U.S. dollars.
There is also "Hero", which looks like an all-star cast, but without Li Lien, the budget is only 3 million US dollars. With Li Lien, the investors are willing to pay 30 million because it can sell at a higher price.
What's funny is that Chow Yun-fat can't afford to pay overseas, but he still has to maintain the salary of a "Hollywood star".
"Chinese-language movies should not be stuck in one place, there are stars and a sea outside!"
"Qiu Shuzhen stunned Cannes, and the teenage star is rising!"
"Tsu Hark is favored by American film producers and may be invited to film in Hollywood!"
""Tai Chi 2" and "Orphan's Revenge" are scheduled to be released in the summer, and Hong Kong audiences will have a feast for their eyes!"
The whole Hong Kong knew that Chen Qi and the others were back, but they had not yet made an official appearance. The leftist media took the lead in getting excited and caught Tsui Hark praising "Orphan".
Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is not called flattery, strength is king.
The neutral faction, a few words that are neither yin nor yang.
The most embarrassing thing is the right-wing media. Yesterday they were still attacking the left and ridiculing Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng. However, they were slapped in the face the next day and could only talk harshly and keep emphasizing:
"Fake and bluff!"
"It is absolutely impossible to pay such a high price. Don't bring the exaggerated style of the Mainland's Great Leap Forward to Hong Kong!"
…………
Jiahe.
Zou Wenhuai thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't understand it.
"Guanchang, do you think it's true or false?"
"They shouldn't lie about this kind of thing, otherwise they will be embarrassed. I'm also curious about what story "Orphan" tells that can make Americans spend a lot of money?" He Guanchang said.
"A film costs 7 million U.S. dollars. At the current exchange rate, it is more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars..."
Zou Wenhuai sighed and said: "And this film hasn't been released yet. It will have a box office once it is released. With this momentum, many people will be interested in watching it. Guanchang, you and I have been immersed in the film industry for so many years, have we ever seen this before?"
Such a weird thing?"
"..."
He Guanchang shook his head and said: "No matter what, we don't want to be disrupted and make our own films."
"You go and talk to Aaron. I'm afraid this kid has other thoughts."
"good!"
…
Cheng Long was indeed in a state of mind.
He even called Chen Qi immediately and went directly to the Great Wall Dormitory: "I only admired you half way at first, but now it's better, you have great ability, I admire you now!
Hey, can you tell me how much "Orphan" cost?"
"More than 2 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"Wow, you made a net profit of 40 million?!"
Cheng Long almost cursed and said hurriedly: "You, you...I mean, why are Americans willing to pay?"
"Watch the news in a few days. I will speak publicly. Now I have to rest!"
Toot toot!
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long couldn't calm down and started to think a little: It looks like he can really take me to Hollywood!
…
Chungking Mansion.
Zhong Chuhong was wearing slippers and a towel around her neck. She had obviously just taken a shower and was jumping around at home. Her wet hair was swaying, and water droplets splashed on her brother.
"Sister, why are you so happy?"
"This man is so amazing! He is really amazing. I can't even think about it, and I don't know how he did it!"
"Are you the one who asked you to film a movie?"
"yes!"
"What does it have to do with you if someone is great? You've finished filming." The younger brother revealed the reality ruthlessly.
"I, I..."
Zhong Chuhong became angry and slapped him: "Have you finished your homework? Go do your homework!"
Her brother ran away angrily, and her excitement subsided. She sat on her little bed and suddenly sighed: "Yeah, what does it have to do with me?"
…………
Colleagues in Hong Kong, bosses of large and small companies, big stars, and big directors have all seen these reports.
Some people are okay, and some people find it boring. Life is boring: I work very hard filming, and I would be thankful to God if I make one million. If someone goes out for a trip, they will bring back US dollars directly.
Hong Kong is a shabby place that worships the strong, money is paramount, and the myth of getting rich overnight is the favorite.
Chen Qi feels this way now.
But he didn't have time to care about it for the time being. After arriving in Hong Kong, he hurried back to the Great Wall Dormitory with Tsui Hark.
Tsui Hark, who had not yet become a scumbag and had feelings for Shi Nansheng, knocked on the door: "Nansheng, I'm back! How are you doing here? Do you know that in those days, I, I..."
Um?
Shi Nansheng, who was wearing pajamas and pajamas and playing mahjong tiles without makeup, looked up, and Shi Hui next to him urged: "It's your turn, hurry up!"
"Nine barrels!"
"Confused!"
Shi Hui pushed the cards and laughed loudly: "You are lucky this time, you don't need to pay for it, it's over, let's play another day!"
The two poker friends she had found stood up to say goodbye. Shi Hui pulled Shi Nansheng over and said, "Fortunately, he lived up to his fate. He is in good condition, not a hair is missing, and he won me two hundred yuan!"
"..."
Tsui Hark's emotions were suddenly disrupted, and he only said: "Thank you, thank you so much!"
"I just said it's okay. He was worried about you. He secretly cried in the middle of the night and refused to admit it!" Chen Qi said.
"I don't believe he cried for me!"
Shi Nansheng said that he was finally happy, and the two of them had experienced a storm.
"Then you can chat slowly, we will go out first, see you at dinner!"
Shi Hui and Chen Qi left.
The two people naturally had a heart-to-heart talk. After a long time, Shi Nansheng asked: "I already know what happened to you in France. That's great. What are your plans to come back now?"
"What else can we do if things get like this? Besides, I think it's great to join. What about you?"
"I also think this place is very good. I have never seen a woman like Sister Hui. Wow, I almost want to recognize her as my god sister."
"Then let's..."
"Um!"
Shi Nansheng nodded and said with a big smile: "We have joined the Communist Party!"
(After calling it a day, nothing more...)
