The richest man

Chapter 17 Foreign Markets
"Director Zhang, hello!"

A voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Jun.

He turned his head and saw a man in his 30s in a suit and leather shoes walking towards him.

Without waiting for Zhang Jun to ask, the man introduced himself: "My name is Zhou Tian, ​​and I am the film procurement manager from Baodao Juye Film Company. "Serpentine Hand" is a big hit in Hong Kong. Our Juye Film Company plans to release it. Introduced to Treasure Island."

Since Li Xiaolong's kung fu movies became popular, kung fu movies have become popular in Taiwan.

"The Snake Shaped Hand", which broke the box office record in Hong Kong, has naturally become a sweet steamed bun that the major film companies in Taiwan are vying for.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was overjoyed. Baodao has a population of 3000 to [-] million, and the film market is huge. A large part of the income of Hong Kong movies comes from Baodao.Hong Kong film companies generally dare not start any artist who is blocked by Baodao, for fear of losing the huge market of Baodao.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, let's get straight to the point. In what way do you plan to cooperate with Juye Film Company?" Zhang Jun asked.

Generally speaking, there are two types of film distribution, one is direct buyout, and the other is share.

Zhang Jun feels that Baodao's waters are a bit deep, and there may be elements of fraud in the box office. He is more inclined to buy out. After all, it is the first time to cooperate, and the two parties do not have enough trust in each other.

"Oh, that's right, our Juye Film Company is more inclined to buy out!" Zhou Tian replied. The box office of "The Serpentine Hand" is so high in Hong Kong, I believe it can also achieve good results in Taiwan.Therefore, buying out is the best!
"Then how much do you plan to pay?" Zhang Jun nodded slightly, then asked again.

"200 million Hong Kong dollars!!" Zhou Tian said a figure.

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "Too little! I think 300 million Hong Kong dollars is more appropriate!"

After a slight pause, Zhang Jun continued, ""The Snake Shaped Hand" broke the box office record of a Hong Kong movie. People like the genre, so the film will definitely sell well. In addition, I plan to publish the first two volumes of "Zhu Xian". At that time, "Zhu Xian" and "Snake-shaped Diao Hand" will jointly promote and promote each other, which will definitely boost "Zhu Xian" The box office of Serpentine Hands!"

"Think about it, the hottest novel in Hong Kong, the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong, I don't need to say what the effect will be if these promotional words are used..."

After Zhang Jun finished speaking, he looked at the other party with a smile.

As of now, "Zhu Xian" has been serialized halfway, with more than 60 words. 30 words per volume, exactly two volumes.

Previously, publishers have sought cooperation, but Zhang Jun has not agreed for the time being.

But now it is different. "Snake-shaped Diao Hand" became popular, Zhang Jun became a "600 million director", and his popularity skyrocketed. If "Zhu Xian" was published at this time, his fame alone would be enough to attract many readers.

Especially in the Baodao area, "Zhu Xian" has not yet been serialized in newspapers, and its popularity is not high. If it is published suddenly, it will be difficult to achieve great success.However, if "Serpentine Hand" and "Zhu Xian" are reported together, the effect will be significant.

Aren't movie fans who watched "The Serpentine Hand" curious about the novel written by the director who filmed this movie?What's more, this novel is currently the hottest novel in Hong Kong...

Zhou Tian was stunned for a while, thinking about it, he became more and more excited.

"Director Zhang, Juye Film Company can offer 250 million Hong Kong dollars!!!"

"The number 250 doesn't sound good. Let's say 288 million. Both of us will get rich. This number is auspicious. What do you think?"

"Okay, then 288 million!" Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and agreed. At the celebration banquet, he had already seen many colleagues from Treasure Island. If he didn't act quickly, he might miss the opportunity.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, come on, let's have a toast, and wish us a happy cooperation!" Zhang Jun said happily. 288 million, which is about the same as the box office share obtained in Hong Kong.

"Okay, cheers, wish us a happy cooperation!"

The two sides clinked glasses and drank, and the more they talked, the happier they were.

"Brother Zhou, the movie "Drunken Master" directed by my father is about to be completed. I guarantee that this movie will be better than "The Serpentine Hand". If your Juye Film Company is interested, we can cooperate again. .”

"Haha, I heard that you wrote the script, starring Cheng Long, of course our Juye Film Company is interested!"

"Since you are interested, I will send you an invitation letter when the movie "Drunken Master" conducts an internal preview. However, the next cooperation cannot be simply bought out. At the same time, I have to How about your film distribution capabilities? Because I want the movie "Drunken Master" to be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time!"

Zhou Tiandao: "No problem. Although our Juye Film Company is not the largest film company in Taiwan, our film distribution capabilities are not weak."

"I don't know much about Juye Film Company, but after "Serpentine" is released in Taiwan, I will always pay attention to its box office."

……

At 9:[-] in the evening, the celebration banquet was finally over.

Zou Wenhuai called Zhang Jun aside, "Zhang Sheng, congratulations on your first film achieving such a huge success. Golden Harvest has strong distribution capabilities in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places, and Golden Harvest can distribute it for you in these regions "Serpentine Hands"."

When Zhang Jun discussed cooperation with Golden Harvest before, he never gave up the right to publish outside the city.

In order to win over Zhang Zhenghao and Zhang Jun and his son, Jiahe did not threaten.But never expected that the movie "The Snake-shaped Hand" would be so popular. Right now, partners in Southeast Asia are looking for Golden Harvest, but Golden Harvest does not have the right to distribute "The Snake-shaped Hand" in other places, making Golden Harvest very passive.

In addition, the right to distribute in other places is a very huge cake.

Of course Jiahe wanted to eat it in his mouth.

Zou Wenhuai then decided to have a good talk with Zhang Jun.

"Mr. Zou, I can hand over the publishing rights in Southeast Asia to you..." Zhang Jun thought about it. It is still not appropriate to offend Golden Harvest too much, and Southeast Asia is complicated. If you publish it yourself, you don't have any connections. It's the year of the monkey, and the distribution effect may not be very good.Just leave it to Jiahe.

As for Baodao, Japan and South Korea, the environment in these areas is simpler, but the film market is huge. Zhang Jun would rather work harder now and establish a sound distribution channel.

Especially in the RB market, Cheng Long's movies are generally very popular, and the box office can easily reach more than one billion yen.

Zou Wenhuai was not very happy when he heard this, because Zhang Jun did not give him the most important treasure island and Japanese and Korean markets.

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help becoming more dissatisfied with Zhang Jun, and also strengthened his idea of ​​supporting the Xu brothers.
