"This kind of movie is released with overseas copyrights bought out. It has nothing to do with me how much the box office is." Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing this, "It doesn't matter!"

At this time, Cha Jianying asked, "The box office doesn't matter, and the copyright buyout price doesn't matter either?" Her question made everyone's eyes focus on Lin Chaoyang again.

"There is a one-tenth relationship." Lin Chaoyang said truthfully. Wang Xiaoping asked curiously: "How much is one-tenth?" "Let's add it up to 1.8 million US dollars."

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air. One million and eight hundred thousand dollars?

This impact is much greater than Cha Jianying's monthly salary of RMB 1,800. Those present here all knew that Lin Chaoyang's writing fees for writing books were very high, but no matter how high the fees were, they were always within the scope of everyone's knowledge.

But now movies adapted from novels are so profitable, which is really beyond everyone’s awareness.

After everyone calmed down for a while, Liang Zuocai murmured: "No wonder, Master, you ran away to Xiangjiang. If it were me, I wouldn't even bring you back."

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. The reason why "The Truman Show" is so profitable is because it won the award at the Cannes Film Festival. It is an exception." Liang Zuo shouted: "That's one million US dollars, and it happens once in a lifetime."

That's enough. This much money is enough for my grandchildren to spend!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, when everyone looked at Lin Chaoyang again, it was difficult to look at him as an equal. Unknowingly, they looked up to him. Even Cha Jianying, who had just returned from the United States and was somewhat arrogant, was the same.

Seeing this, Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to guide everyone to change the topic and start caring about everyone's personal lives. Among the people present today, the only ones who are not married are Cha Jianying and Wang Xiaoping.

Li Tong asked Wang Xiaoping if she had a boyfriend, and she said no.

"We haven't talked about it yet, are you planning to be an old girl?" Li Tong said sarcastically. Wang Xiaoping glared at him, "You policeman, you are quite lenient!"

"How about I introduce one to you?" Li Tong didn't care about her tone, but he planned to be a month old man. "No need." Wang Xiaoping said firmly.

Everyone noticed something was wrong, and after questioning her carefully, they finally pried Wang Xiaoping's mouth open. It turned out that she had been in a relationship with a young man from Yanjing TV Studio since last year.

"Let's just talk. What else are you hiding from us?" Zha Jianying complained.

Wang Xiaoping looked shy and said: "They are so rude, who knows how they will make fun of me?" Several other people were shot while lying down, shouting that they were wronged.

Everyone got together after lunch and chatted until the evening.

Liang Zuo went to eat, and Li Tong shouted "Don Lai Shun", which won everyone's unanimous approval.

The Crown owned by Lin Chaoyang also made a splash at Liang Zuo's wedding the year before last. It could carry four people. Because there were lesbians, we couldn't squeeze in. Three people had to ride bicycles.

As soon as winter came, the business in Donglaishun improved and it was crowded. Everyone had a lively meal. After the meal, Liang Zuo went to watch "The Truman Show" together.

It has been more than half a month since this movie was released. Although it has been affected by pirated video tapes, it is still a film that won the grand prize at the Namibian Film Festival.

"The Truman Show" is still enthusiastically sought after by many movie fans, especially those book fans and literary young people, who praise this movie to the sky. The movie itself is of high quality and has the aura of winning awards. In addition,

There is a wave of loyal fans on the Internet.

After "The Truman Show" was released, a movie-watching craze quickly formed. This craze was different from the wave of national movie-watching like "Wreaths Under the Mountain", but rather pursued fashion and formalism.

.

It's a bit similar to the feeling of later generations of literary and artistic youth showing off in a cafe with a book by a writer such as Marcel Proust. After coming out of the cinema, Liang Zuo exclaimed: "It was so well shot!"

In fact, it was not the first time for most of them to watch this movie, and everyone agreed with Liang Zuo's evaluation. This may be because the movie won an award, but a considerable part of it was due to heartfelt recognition.

"I remember there was a lot of controversy after "The Truman Show" was published, but there seems to be no movement recently."

There was a bit of ridicule in Li Tong's tone.

“It’s not that there’s no movement, it’s mainly that there’s no more trouble.

In the past, many critics said that the content of "The Truman Show" was unrealistic. However, it was made into a movie, and foreigners liked it, won awards, and made their faces swollen. Now that the movie has been released, the expression of images is better than words.

More intuitive.

The imagination shown in "The Truman Show" is indeed beyond the thinking of ordinary people, but it talks about very practical things. Facts speak louder than words, what else do they have to say?"

Liang Zuo is Lin Chaoyang's brainless brag. Seeing that none of the critics who once criticized "The Truman Show" have made any move, he feels extremely relieved. "Recent comments in magazines that praised "The Truman Show" seemed like

More than before.”

Wang Xiaoping said something, which confirmed Liang Zuo's words, and everyone laughed. After talking about the movie, time was over, and everyone was ready to say goodbye.

Zha Jianying suddenly said to Lin Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, if you have time later, can I make an appointment with you for an interview?" Lin Chaoyang hesitated and said, "Okay."

After everyone separated, Zha Jianying and Wang Xiaoping stood together. They were going home together.

Seeing that Cha Jianying was still looking in the direction of Lin Chaoyang's taillights, Wang Xiaoping asked, "What else are you looking at?" "Nothing, I just think he has changed a lot." Cha Jianying's eyes were a little complicated.

"Is he big? It's okay. He was famous when he was in school."

Wang Xiaoping thought of how when she was in school, Zha Jianying had a strong opinion of Lin Chaoyang because he didn't want to see Menglong Shi. The words came to her lips, but she held them back.

"But some things are really unexpected. How do you think he maintains such strong creative energy? Even if he writes novels, his scripts are so good." Wang Xiaoping couldn't hide his envy in his tone, but also had some admiration.

She has been writing since she was in school. After graduation, she worked as an editor at "People's Literature" and was a colleague of Tao Yushu.

It's a pity that neither writing nor editing has made him famous, so she also knows better the talent and dedication required for Lin Chaoyang to achieve his current achievements. Cha Jianying's lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.

For some people, acknowledging the excellence of others is equivalent to admitting their own shortcomings. The day after the beginning of winter, Lin Chaoyang returned to Xiangjiang with his baby.

We haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and both children miss their mother a little bit.

After putting their two children to sleep at night, Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang sat on the balcony and admired the night view of Victoria Harbor. The temperature in Yanjing is already below zero, but the temperature in Xiangjiang is still 22 to 3 degrees.

The evening breeze is intoxicating.

""The Hardcover" is scheduled to be released the day after tomorrow, and Golden Harvest initially wanted us to compete with New Art City's "The True Story of Heroes."

I'm not worried about movies like "Heroes" that follow the trend, but I can't let Golden Harvest manipulate me like that. We're not their satellite company. I think at worst, we'll just be on Shaw Brothers and Shuangnan Lines. Anyway, this period

The time market is lukewarm, and it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s earlier or later. Seeing my tough attitude, they moved “Youth and Fury” to December.”

Lin Chaoyang looked at Tao Yushu with soft eyes and asked, "Are you angry?"

Tao Yushu's expression was relaxed, "There's nothing to be angry about, it's all business. Jiahe just wanted to avoid risks. They only invested 2 million in "The Girl", but 5 million in "Youth and Fury"."

"Jiahe controls the theater chain, which means it has the initiative. This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. For us, the best way right now is to get closer to Yindu and Shaw Brothers." Tao Yushu nodded and added: "Mi

Gao has been in contact with me during this time and wants to cooperate with you again."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and asked: "Has he finished enjoying the applause?"

Since Xu Guanwen returned with great honor, he has participated in countless activities every day, not only in Hong Kong, but also in Bay Island, Jiangsu, Malaysia, and Singapore... With the popularity of "The Truman Show", these few

In the past month, he has traveled all over East and Southeast Asia and has become so popular that he has no friends.

"Flowers and applause always come to an end, and it's been half a year. He said that he has received a lot of scripts in the past six months, but he didn't like them." With the success of "The Truman Show", those rough scripts that are popular in Hong Kong have

Xu Guanwen naturally disdained commercial film scripts.

Being crowned Best Actor at Cannes is a great honor, but it is also a shackle for him.

"What Lin needs now is rapid development. We can't put too much energy into art films. We should wait for a while before discussing cooperation."

Tao Yushu held his hand on the railing, feeling the night breeze, "I think so too. I plan to wait for the release of "Hardcover Chasing Girls" before making two more movies." "One is for Wang Jing, and the other one is for Wang Jing.

?”

"I recently met a husband-and-wife team who returned from studying abroad. They made a small-budget film last year called "Illegal Immigration", which did well at the box office." "Zhang Wanting?"

"Yes. The couple wrote a script. I think it's good. If they can get their money back, they can come to our company." "Have you contacted the director of New Art City?"

New Art City has been full of talents in recent years, and many well-known directors of later generations came from them.

"There is no connection between Lin Lingdong and John Woo who are legitimately popular. If you poach them, doesn't it mean that you are openly declaring war on New Art City?

There is a director named Johnnie To who is very interested in our Lin family. He filmed the third part of "Happy Ghost" this year, which did not do well at the box office. New Art City has never planned to give him a movie."

Adu, God and ghosts are the same, Lin Chaoyang thought with some disgust. Forget it, now is the time when the company is short of people.

Hearing Johnnie To's name, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but think of the King of Sunglasses. He should be working as a screenwriter in Xinyi City at this moment, right? The current Lin family must not be able to support such a cheater. He will wait until he is rich in the future.

The couple chatted about things in the company until late at night before going back to the room to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, it is already mid-November. The popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" when it was released in Hong Kong has gradually passed, but its influence is still there. Walking on the street, at a glance, you can see Ponyboy in black windbreaker and toothpick in his mouth.

Not surprisingly, this scene will also appear on the streets of many Asian countries and regions over time.

Two months after "A Better Tomorrow" was released in Hong Kong, Lam Films finally received the box office proceeds settled by New Art City, including Hong Kong, Bay Island, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries and regions where the screening has ended.

Among them, "A Better Tomorrow" grossed NT$115 million in Taiwan, which converted into Hong Kong dollars exceeded 55 million, surpassing the box office performance of movies in various overseas countries and regions.

In this round of screenings, the total box office of "A Better Tomorrow" reached HK$187 million, and the box office share attributed to the producer was HK$82.45 million. Lam Films received nearly HK$22 million in box office income in proportion to its investment, and its cash flow

Suddenly I became rich.
