Island Tycoon

Chapter 291 I Like Both
With Yusuke Okada as the translator, Ye Jingcheng and Shigeru Okada had a pleasant conversation.The latter also promised to use Toei's largest resources to make the biggest publicity before the release of "The True Colors of Heroes", and will also move the screens of [-] theaters under Toei to show the film.

"Ye Sang, you are really good too. Such a good movie should have been released a long time ago. It is much better than your previous funny movies." After the meeting, Okada Yusuke said while sending Ye Jingcheng out, seemingly reproachfully.

"Before I didn't have a solid foundation, and the platform was not strong enough, making this kind of film would be risky, and it would be easy to waste film resources." Ye Jingcheng explained

Okada Yusuke nodded cooperatively. He expressed his understanding of Ye Jingcheng's words. Ye Jingcheng did this for the sake of the local market.If it were him, he would also choose to stabilize the local box office first, and then consider overseas distribution.

The two talked while walking, and the topic turned to the movie's box office. Okada Yusuke asked, "Ye Sang, do you want to guess the final box office?"

"Hmm..." Ye Jingcheng pondered for a few seconds before replying, "On Hong Kong Island, the box office is about 3000 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the island countries... I think it's about one billion yen."

"One billion! Ye Sang, are you kidding?" Okada Yusuke said in surprise.

One billion yen is equivalent to nearly 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Ye Jingcheng's answer really caught Yusuke Okada by surprise.

Okada Yusuke may lack awareness of Hong Kong Island's 3000 million Hong Kong dollar box office movie, but he is clear about the difficulty of creating a one billion yen box office movie in the island country, and it is a non-locally produced movie.

In his impression, only kung fu superstar Bruce Lee had such achievements.Basically, every Bruce Lee movie can break through one billion box office, and the highest one "Enter the Dragon" is even as high as 30 billion.

But after Bruce Lee, there was no such brilliant achievement.It’s not that no one is looking for distribution agents on Hong Kong Island, but the performance of the Chinese-language films released has plummeted, and basically they can only create a box office of [-] to [-] million.

Until the end of last year, "The Serpentine Hand" starring Cheng Long had a box office of 11 billion, breaking the silence of Chinese films in recent years.For this reason, Toei, which had struggled a few years ago, once again fell into the suppression of Toho.

If the "True Colors of a Hero" provided by Ye Jingcheng can really successfully break through the one billion mark, it would be considered an elation for Toei, at least it will no longer be passive in the face of Dongbao.

"Don't you want to have such a result?" Ye Jingcheng smiled to himself.

The original time and space "The True Colors of Heroes" only had a box office of less than [-] million in the island country. This result can only explain one problem.

It’s just that the overseas distribution of the Golden Princess is really too weak. It is undeniable that island countries are more keen on kung fu movies, but for a country where social associations are legalized, it is impossible for such genre films as “The True Colors of Heroes” to have such little success.

In other words, Lei Juekun did not have a single person who was good at communication and capable of exploring overseas markets.The leaders of New Art City Mecca have been busy fighting for power and film production, and Princess Jin's superiors and subordinates are basically laymen.

This problem is also the biggest thorn in the future of Golden Princess, because it has no way to win the overseas box office, which is a big part of maintaining the company's operations, so it can only seize the local box office as much as possible.

Once the local box office fails, it doesn’t matter once or twice, but three times or four times will definitely start to shake internally, and five times or six times will easily lead to poor management or even bankruptcy.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng's situation was not much better, but he himself came to the island country to negotiate, which was enough for the film company here to feel his sincerity.Moreover, unlike Lei Juekun, who is a layman, as long as he has a good grasp of the degree, the chance of negotiating with the film company here is naturally much greater.

Sometimes Ye Jingcheng really couldn't help but want to remind Lei Juekun that it would be more prudent to persuade him to go into business in a down-to-earth manner. As for the theaters under the other party's name, Ye Jingcheng should be a good person, whether it is renting or buying. It is so difficult to merge them into the Southern Cinema.

Speaking of this aspect, Golden Harvest's overseas market is indeed doing very well, and it has completely become a magic weapon for Zou Wenhuai.Even though he was suppressed by Shao for nearly ten years, Shao Yifu couldn't grind this centipede to death.

Even Shaw Brothers Pictures, which has a deep foundation, is not as powerful as Golden Harvest in overseas distribution.Not to mention other regions, Golden Harvest's distribution power in the island country alone has already surpassed Shaw Brothers' box office powerhouse Xinmatai.

Although Ye Jingcheng's statement made Okada Yusuke a little distracted, he still had some doubts about the number he gave.

It's not that Okada Yusuke doesn't want to have such achievements, but that Qingdeng Entertainment's international reputation is too low, and there is no character like Chenglong who can be used as a signature.The audience's awareness of this company is not enough, so naturally it is impossible to gather a stock house appeal.

Even though Toei is optimistic about this movie called "The True Colors of Heroes", they passed the preliminary box office forecast. The box office of "The True Colors of Heroes" reached [-] million and they were already satisfied, while most of Ye Jingcheng's previous films could only earn around [-] million at the box office.

"Gu~" A discordant voice planned to have a conversation between the two.

It turned out that the two girls who had been following them, waiting to be dealt with, protested hunger from one of them.

Glancing at the girl who looked pitiful, Ye Jingcheng changed the subject and asked, "Okada, can you tell us about the situation of these two girls now?"

"Well..." Okada Yusuke tapped his chin and said with a smile, "Actually, it's a gift for Ye Sang."

"Gift?" Ye Jingcheng didn't expect that the other party would give him two big living people as gifts.

"It's not that you were dissatisfied with the women who invited you to entertain Ye Sang the last two times, so this time I specifically aimed at your taste..." Okada Yusuke showed a wink that you know, and said: "Speaking of Ye Sang, you prefer which one?"

"Ahem!" Ye Jingcheng said solemnly, "I like both."

"This..." Yusuke Okada couldn't respond to this answer, what about the traditional Chinese virtues?What about reserved and humble?

Well, in fact, he is not willing to part with these two little beauties.These two girls are both smooth and tender peaches, and they are also Toei's key training objects. It hurts him to send one out, let alone Ye Jingcheng wants both.

"I appreciate Ye Sang's frankness." Okada Yusuke said with a bit of sympathy.

In fact, he was very upset, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still made up his mind that these two girls should be used to stabilize his relationship with Ye Jingcheng.As for your own needs, you can always find beauty embryos by looking for someone to search, but it takes a while to cultivate.

Taking the two girls to eat something, and then returning to the Nakamori's dorm, facing the future arrangements of the two girls, Ye Jingcheng rubbed the back of his neck and decided...
