Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety First Released in Asia

After attending the celebration banquet co-hosted by Paramount, MGM, and Columbia, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing left Los Angeles. It was already September 3rd.

They did not return directly to Yanjing, but flew to Hong Kong at the invitation of Ren Qiao of Galaxy Film Company and Zhao Xiyan of Hong Kong Mass Media Company.

Walking out of Xiangjiang International Airport, Xiao Yunhai saw Ren Qiaoqiao and Zhao Xiyan who came to pick him up.

Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing looked at each other and walked quickly to the two of them.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with them and said, "President Ren, President Zhao, you came to pick up our husband and wife in person, which really made us a little sincere."

Ren Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "What's wrong with us coming to meet the national hero."

Zhao Xiyan said: "A pure Chinese kung fu movie has swept the entire United States, and in just a dozen days, it has swept away 1.8 billion US dollars. This battle has shown the style of our Chinese filmmakers, which is the first time in the history of Chinese films. Once. Mr. Xiao, congratulations, you made history."

Xiao Yunhai quickly waved his hand and said, "You two seniors mustn't say that, I don't dare to be."

Ren Qiaoqiao said: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Who made your "Heroes of Heroes" so good. Let's go, Mr. Zhao and I have already arranged a hotel to clean up the dust for the two of you."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

After getting on the car, several people came to a five-star hotel.

Looking at the various dishes brought by the waiter, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, Mr. Zhao, I'll be embarrassed for now. To be honest, the food on the plane is too unpalatable, and I'm hungry now."

Zhao Xiyan said with a smile: "Today, this table was originally prepared for you, whoever you don't eat will eat it.

"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then I'm welcome."

After speaking, Xiao Yunhai ate and drank the sea for a while. In just three minutes, two catties of soy sauce beef and four trotters went down his stomach. What he saw was Ren Qiaoqiao and Zhao Xiyan, stunned.

Seeing her husband's appearance, Zhao Wanqing was speechless for a while, and said helplessly: "President Ren, President Zhao, I'm really sorry."

Ren Qiaoqiao laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. It's that Mr. Xiao didn't treat us as outsiders. But, Miss Zhao, does Mr. Xiao usually eat so much?"

Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "That's right. He is a martial artist, so he eats a lot."

Zhao Xiyan said: "No wonder Mr. Xiao can easily defeat the American boxing champion Kesen."

Xiao Yunhai ate for a while, felt hungry, then raised his wine glass and said, "President Ren, President Zhao, I'm really hungry, thank you two for your hospitality."

Ren Qiaoqiao and Zhao Xiyan laughed, raised the glass, touched him, and then drank it all.

Xiao Yunhai put down the cup and said, "The two bosses asked us to come over. It should be about "Fighting Heroes", right?"

Ren Qiaoqiao turned straight, nodded, and said, "That's right. Mr. Xiao, thanks to you, Mr. Zhao and I are both shareholders of Southeast Asia Cinemas. Regional screenings. What do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. It's just that I don't know how the box office is divided?"

Zhao Xiyan said: "In view of the popularity of "Heroes of Jingwu" in foreign countries, we discussed that we can give you a 5% profit on the basis of international practice. What do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai pointed at Zhao Wanqing and said, "As long as the leaders of my family agree, it will be fine."

Since seeing Zhao Wanqing's commercial talent when she bought the villa and the Universal Cinema, Xiao Yunhai has handed over all the negotiation to her.

What business negotiation needs is patience and fighting for every inch of land. Xiao Yunhai's temperament is too big, and he doesn't like to be entangled.

On the other hand, Zhao Wanqing is the exact opposite. She is meticulous in her work, very patient, and will not allow her own interests to be harmed. Therefore, she is doing all the negotiation with publishers in various countries recently.

Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, thought about it, and said, "I hope that the two of you can give us 50% in the first week, and the next few weeks can be done as you said. It has been recognized, and there is no problem with success.”

For a movie, the first week almost accounts for more than half of the entire box office.

The first week of international conventions is fifty-seven percent for the publisher and forty-three percent for the producer.

According to Zhao Xiyan and Ren Qiaoqiao's suggestion, Zhao Wanqing only added two percentage points, but this two percent may represent tens of millions of profits.

If Xiao Yunhai were replaced, it is estimated that he would not look down on this thing at all.

Ren Qiaoqiao and Zhao Xiyan looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "Yes."

Zhao Wanqing asked, "When are the two bosses going to be released? Do you need to promote it?"

Ren Qiaoqiao shook his head and said: "You have just returned to China, and you don't know the influence of "Heroes of Heroes" in China and other Asian countries. Let's put it this way, the only movie in the entire Asian country that has ever entered the United States is South Korea's "Dream". See Heaven", like "Fighting Heroes", they were the first to be released in the United States, and they received a box office of 360 million US dollars and received a very good reputation."

"When the news spread to Asia, countless movie fans rushed to tell each other, "Dream of Paradise" was a mess in Asia, not to mention movie fans, even directors and actors of all sizes went to the cinema to watch and learn, and all Asian countries It directly contributed 2.2 billion US dollars to the box office of the movie. And the current "Heroes of Heroes" is even better than the previous "Dream of Heaven", and the box office is six times as much as it can be imagined. I know how popular "Fighting Heroes" will be once it is shown in Asia. So, we don't need to do much publicity work at all, because Hollywood has already done it for us."

Xiao Yunhai said: "That would be great. Mr. Ren, Mr. Zhao, let's toast the success of "Heroes of Heroes"."

"cheers."

After Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing dealt with the release of "Heroes of Heroes", they only stayed in Xiangjiang for one day before flying back to Yanjing.

As soon as they got out of Yanjing Airport, the two of them were surrounded by powerful reporters.

Fortunately, before Xiao Yunhai returned to Beijing, he called Su Yingxue and asked him to call Meng Fang, Gao Xiangfeng and others.

Otherwise, the two of them would have to let the hundreds of media get eaten.

However, even with Gao Xiangfeng and the others escorting him, Xiao Yunhai still did not break away from the circle of reporters.

In desperation, Xiao Yunhai pointed at the outstretched spear and short barrel: "Okay, fellow reporters, if you have any questions, just ask them? I only have five minutes."

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, how do you feel about your "Heroes of Heroes" having achieved such remarkable box office results in the United States?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course I am very happy. Huaxia's kung fu movies have been recognized by the world. As a martial arts practitioner, I am very proud."

"Mr. Xiao, why did your movie have to be released in America first, not in China?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I first submitted Heroes of Jingwu to the National Film and Television Administration for approval, and then took the foreign version of Heroes of Jingwu to the United States. Haha, what surprised me was that , My film has been shown in the United States for more than half a month, and the Film and Television Bureau has not yet approved it for me. If I can't get the screening license, what do you want me to do?"

"Mr. Xiao, do you mean that the reason why this film was not shown in China is because the film and television drama has not been approved?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "That's right. Anyway, I didn't receive a call for approval, and I didn't receive a call that there was a problem with the movie that needed to be rectified. The whole movie seemed to sink into the sea. ."

Although Xiao Yunhai said it in an aggrieved tone, the reporters were all well-rounded and naturally heard Xiao Yunhai's criticism of the film and television bureau's inefficiency.

Therefore, the reporters' eyes brightened.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, in a show, you knocked down the American boxing champion in a few strokes. Is this true?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's true. However, what I want to say is that practicing martial arts is for strengthening the body and protecting the weak, not for being brave. If it wasn't for Kesen being aggressive, I would also not against him."

"Mr. Xiao, is the real Kung Fu really used in this film?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. I did the math, and it took almost 24 kinds of kung fu from various countries in the world, so American fans like it so much. Of course, in real battles, a few moves can determine the outcome. , it won't take as long as in the movie. Okay, everyone, let's end the interview here. After the film and television bureau approves it, we can meet you in the theater."

Su Yingxue said: "Reporters, I'm sorry, Yunhai and Wanqing are very tired now and need to go home to rest. If you have any questions, I will answer them later. I'm sorry, please let me go."
