In the blink of an eye in April, the first few days of Tao Yushu was not in a good mood.

The reason is that the "Ultimate target" produced by Lin's side is finished, but when submitting the MPAA rating, this film was rated as NC-17.

MPAA is the American Film Association, which forms the current film classification system of the United States today.

The hierarchical system in the United States is divided into G-grade, PG-1 grade, R-Class, NC-17

Level 5 levels.

NC-17 means that viewers at the age of 17 and below are not allowed to watch, that is, restricted-level movies that people often hear.

"Ultimate target" is a criminal action film. The action scenes are hot, and the G-level, PG-level, PG-13 level must not be stained, but Tao Yushu thinks that the NC-17 rating also makes Tao Yushu a little annoyed.

With tens of millions of potential audiences.

The film in the film invested 18 million US dollars in the United States and reached 140 million in the calculation of Hong Kong dollars. Tao Yushu naturally valued naturally. It has planned to be released in the second half of the spring file.

The American film market can be roughly divided into five periods, which are winter schedule, spring schedule, summer schedule, autumn schedule and end -of -year holiday period.

Among them, the period in the summer and the end of the year is the hottest, and it has always been a must -have place for Hollywood.

The big investment of each family and the big production will be concentrated in these two schedules, and the competition will be fierce.

"Ultimate target" belongs to small and medium -cost action movies. Without that strength to compete in the hot schedule, spring file is a good choice.

Among the box office proportion over the years, it is slightly higher than the two -time period of autumn and winter.

Tao Yushu was afraid of "The Ultimate target" in the event of the classification. At that time, he could not enter the summer file as a cannon fodder. It could only wait for a few months, which added the capital pressure of the United States.

Therefore, she arranged Wu Yusen to quickly edit the film and strive to pass the review as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Wu Yusen was used to the fast pace of Xiangjiang Film Industry. After taking a few nights, he cut the film again for trial, successfully adjusted the film rating to R -level, and the film was officially determined that it would be released on May 2.

That night, Tao Yushu returned home and looked happy. Lin Chaoyang asked her what was good, and she told this.

This movie is a normal criminal action film. I am afraid that the box office will not be too ideal. Don't be happy too early. "Lin Chaoyang warned.

"I know, but this is the first time Lin's film in the North American market. Even if the box office box office loses a little bit, I can accept it."

The box office loss does not mean that the movie does not make money.

In fact, most of the box office can be tied to investment, and even small losses to make money in the end, because the film's income is not only box office, but also various copyright income and derivative copyrights.

Tao Yushu's cognition is very clear. Although the Lin family has previously obtained the copyright of "Ninja Turtle" and successfully produced two "Ninja Turtles", which has a huge income, it is impossible for any successful film company to rely on a work.

The development of copyright.

She and the executives of the company made great efforts. Finally, the focus of Lin's film industry into the United States was on the small and medium -cost action movies.

There are several reasons why everyone makes this decision is that in the field of action film, Xiangjiang Film Industry is alone worldwide, and has unique talents and technical advantages.

The second reason is that compared to those large -scale investment blockbusters, the relatively low scene of action film investment is not inferior to the scene, and the cost performance is high.

The third reason is that the action movie is the heavy action, light plot, which can expand the audience group to the greatest extent. You don't need to worry too much about the cultural differences between the audience group.

Of course, in addition to the small and medium -cost action movies, other types of movies are not doing it, but they will focus on it.

In Tao Yushu's thoughts, "Ultimate target" only requires the box office to keep the capital, and you can have good benefits.

The direction.

"The main problem now is that no one is available. Some people are at the status quo and don't want to go to the United States to develop.

Some people are not assured of them.

Picking around, a director named Yu Rentai is not bad, and he is willing to break through the United States.

After the "Ultimate target" is released, if the box office is ideal, I plan to give him a film to try it. This time, change the actor.

There are too many faults of foreigners, holding them to make movies, one by one, take themselves as an uncle. "

Tao Yushu's resentment comes from the "Ultimate target" of "Ultimate Target" actor Shang Geyunton Wu Yusen, the investment is not large. Every penny must be spent on the blade.

The American film industry's famous action star Shang Geyun.

As a result, Shangge Yunton did not cooperate during the shooting, and repeatedly tampered with Wu Yusen's shooting plan.

Before the actors and the crew signed the contract, the crew was often a strong party, but after signing the contract, especially after the drama had been filmed for a while, the status of both sides would change fundamental changes.

The reason is also very simple, for the overall situation.

A movie has invested tens of millions. If the actor is in trouble or the problem is caused, the shooting is interrupted or the actor will be replaced.

The actor's loss is only his own film remuneration, but the crew may lose several times that of the actor's film pay, dozens of times.

If it is in Xiangjiang, Tao Yushu can block this actor in one sentence, but it will not work in the United States.

Although the United States has produced two "Ninja Turtles", it is still a little inconspicuous role in Hollywood.

For the first time, Wu Yusen filmed in the United States, and everything was careful. Under such circumstances, he could only be coordinated as much as possible to allow the movie to finish shooting smoothly.

You choose the field of action movies, and the direction is right. But in Hollywood, good action movies are not easy to find, you still have to cultivate yourself. "Lin Chaoyang said.

"I also understand. Because I haven't stood up to the foothold before, I plan to use Ajie in the lower play."

"Actually, in addition to action movies, horror or suspense movies, it is also a good direction. You can make small costs."

"We also think about it, but Hong Kong -style horror movies are still very different from American horror movies. We need to find a director who can adapt to the Hollywood style, and write some targeted scripts."

"I happened to have some experience in watching movies recently, and I turned back to the screenwriters and directors of your company."

Tao Yushu felt warm in her heart. She came along the way. Lin Chaoyang often provided help in this way.

"Lin's Film is now a listed company. You don't receive some planning fees, let's suffer too much."

Lin Chaoyang waved his hands chic, "The family is big, not bad for this Ren Gua two jujube!"

Tao Yushu was laughed by him.

Lin Chaoyang asked again: "If the" Ultimate target "is about to be released, do you go to the United States?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." China on the Tip of the Tongue "is well sold in the United States," Dallas Buy Furniture and Music "

It has just been launched. Judis and Lu An recently contacted me, hoping that I would go to the United States to do more activities. "

"China on the Tip of the Tongue" was listed in the United States in the United States on New Year's Day. It took the airborne in the New York Times best -selling list of the crown vehicle, and maintained the top of the list of 12 consecutive weeks. It was not until April that the ranking declined.

Email for 3 consecutive days, 1 Xiaofang,

The popularity in the reader group has also caused widespread discussion in the American cultural world.

Literary works about Chinese culture rarely have a large -scale opportunity in the United States, but it does not mean that it has not been popular.

In the 1930s and 1940s, the works of Sai Pearl and Lin Yutang have set off a sensation in the United States.

"China on the Tip of the Tongue" starts with the food culture, which is more acceptable to ordinary readers.

Although the sales of books have recently declined, the influence of public opinion has become stronger. The main reason for this result is the lag of publication.

Judis Jones is optimistic that the sales of 2 million sales in "China on the Tip of the Tongue" should not be a problem. As for the future sales, no one says it.

But based on her many years of experience in promoting food books, the stamina of this book may be stronger than ordinary food books.

The attributes of general food book tools are very strong, and it is easy to lively, but with the continuous dissemination of the diet, its functionality will gradually decrease until no one is promoted.

The difference between "China on the Tip of the Tongue" is that it has stronger cultural attributes. This cultural attribute brings this book to a longer -lasting possibility.

"China on the tip of the tongue" has been sold for 3 months. The recent sales declined. Judis Jones immediately thought of inviting Lin Chaoyang to participate in some activities in the United States to increase a little heat.

Luan Walt is similar to her thoughts, Lin Chaoyang's new work "Dallas Buy Furniture Music"

In fact, more than a month ago, the publication conditions were already available, but Langdon Book House thought it should wait.

The influence of "China on the Tip of the Tongue" has completely erupted, and the reputation of Lin Chaoyang in the American cultural world and the reader group will definitely be more upper.

You can easily reach the heat.

Therefore, it was not until last week that Langdon Book House officially pushed "Dallas Buy Furniture and Furniture" to the market. When Lu'an Valter contacted Lin Chaoyang, the sales statistics of the first week had not been released.

"That's it! That's right, I also went to the United States to inspect their work." Tao Yushu said.

After the husband and wife discussed it, told Tao Yumo about the news.

"Are you gone, what about your child?"

"This is not you there."

"Also let people live? The long -time workers of the landlord's house are still resting." Tao Yumo complained with grievances.

Lin Chaoyang said quietly: "You look good about your children, I will let your sister give you a reward!"

"What rewards?" Tao Yumo came with a spirit.

"What about your work of Yulang institution?"

Tao Yumo's expression was dissatisfied, "What are the rewards? It is to work for your two children, I don’t do it!"

"You are confused! What is working, let you be responsible for the company, can you not give you a shares!"

"True?"

Tao Yumo is doubtful and has some heartbeat. The Yulang institution now has a market value of 4.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"Of course it is true. Why do I lie to you? You have worked hard to take care of your child. There is no contribution. Tao Yumo thought about it, and he looked at Lin Chaoyang suspiciously." Can you persuade my sister? "

Lin Chaoyang snorted, "You still don't know your brother -in -law, my strength."

"I just know you so much!" Tao Yumo said a word.

"Cough!" Lin Chaoyang covered the embarrassment with light cough, "Rest assured, what I said when I said it was a nail!"

Back to the room at night, Tao Yushu asked: "What did you conspire there with Yu Mo just now?"

"Nothing. I told her, let her be responsible for the Yulang institution in the future."

Tao Yushu asked curiously: (What do she say? "

"It's excited."

"It seems really turning." Tao Yushu sighed.
