"The results you got back were beyond my expectations," Chen Chong put the documents on his desk and said, "Five movies sold for $00,000, which was much better than I expected. I thought it would be sold at most $00,000. Europeans are above the top and have never been able to watch Asian movies."

"This is all the credit of Mr. Gary Kurz. He is the producer of Star Wars and knows the bosses of many film companies in Europe." Jiang Zhiqiang did not make any contribution and said: "And through his relationship, he sent Die Hard to the official film observation unit of the Cannes Film Festival, which attracted the interest of many film manufacturers. After "Die Hard" was released at the main venue of the festival, it received great praise. The film manufacturers bid for each other and the price rose."

"Boss Shen, you used an annual salary of one million US dollars and asked Kurtz to be the production manager of Oriental Charm. Many people think that you are not in a normal mind." Luo Weiming casually gave Chen Chong a thumbs up and said: "Now it seems that the real value of your money you spent "Die Hard" went to Cannes. Not only did you make a name for fame, the films were sold crazy. RU, 700,000 in France, 300,000 in West Germany, and 400,000 in other small countries. Before it was released, I took back 00,000 US dollars. The United States is Kurtz's base camp. With him in charge of the distribution work, "Die Hard" may break the box office record of Shaw Brothers' "The First Fist in the World" and become the most popular Hong Kong movie in North America."

He shook his head and sighed twice, saying, "With Yamaguchi Momoe's signature, the box office in Japan and Southeast Asia is definitely not bad. I won't talk about it anymore. Everyone is stretching their necks to wait for the release. In this way, "Die Hard" is almost a foregone conclusion. Boss Shen, you are indeed born to do big business."

"Doing business is the same as conquering the world. The key is four words. Knowing people and making good use of them." Chen Chong smiled complacently and said, "I asked Kurtz to be a manager, not just because of his relationship network in Europe and the United States. What I like is his rich producer experience, which can help me improve the professional quality of the Oriental Charming production department. In making movies in Hong Kong, everything is either the boss has the final say or the director has the final say, investment and financing before shooting, risk control and coordination communication during shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting, either the boss has the final say, or the director has the final say, investment and financing before shooting, risk control and coordination communication, shooting, shooting, shooting, Few people studied the subsequent distribution strategies, nor did they have rigorous and scientific institutional norms, which was not conducive to the development of film companies. In the first half of the year, I stopped other investments and stuffed everyone in the production department into the crew of "Die Hard" just to let them learn from Kurtz. Last time I had a meeting with the production department, I found that the learning effect was pretty good. After two or three years of experience, Oriental Charm will have the best producer team in Asia. It will be no problem to sweep Hong Kong and Taiwan by then.

"You're saying this is too false." Luo Weiming pointed him with his finger and said with a smile: "Even if there is no Kurz, there is no need to be two or three years. You are now sweeping Hong Kong and Taiwan, and you are invincible and unstoppable."

"It's not okay, but it's not okay. Movies can't be piled up with money." Chen Chong shook his hand and said modestly: "Last year, the box office of movies produced by Oriental Charming accounted for less than half of the total box office of Hong Kong movies. It's a famous saying that it's too thin, and it's a big quotation."

"It's easy to be a tycoon, but it's not easy to become a king. Boss Shen, you have a lot of ambitions."

"If a person has no ideals, what is the difference between it and a salted fish?" Chen Chong smiled and bowed, then coughed lightly and asked Jiang Zhiqiang: "What do you think of the European market after going to Cannes this time? After all, Kurtz is not a Hong Konger. He will return to the United States sooner or later, and you must be prepared to take over."

"I've been in Cannes and have communicated with filmmakers from several European countries." Jiang Zhiqiang leaned forward, held his hands and frowned and said: "Overall, they know nothing about Hong Kong movies. Many people's impression of Hong Kong is still in the era of World War II. Shaw Brothers also went to Cannes to do sales, and the price of films was very low. They could only be sold to some filmmakers in Chinatown or third-rate theaters. It is quite difficult to enter mainstream theaters. This time, "Die Hard" can be sold to mainstream filmmakers because of Mr. Kurtz's appearance. Many people think it is a Hollywood movie."

"Changing the image is not a matter of one day or one night." Chen Chong curled his lips and said, "Let's take your time. You can go to Europe a few more times in the future and first understand the situation of film dealers in various countries, from third to second to first, from second to first, step by step."

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded slightly, and then said: "France and the United Kingdom are the two major film markets in Europe. This time in Cannes, in addition to "The Legend of the Dragon" entering the official film observation unit, "The Rules of Industry" directed by Weng Weiquan was also shortlisted for "A kind of attention, unit, and the critics' evaluation of this movie was very good. Then a French film company bought the film of "The Rules of Industry". This film company runs two very famous theaters in Paris, specializing in the screening of art films and niche movies. It is said that the box office has always been stable. Later, I checked and found that there are many similar cinemas in France. I think this is a distribution channel worth paying attention to, because almost all Hong Kong films are niche movies in the eyes of the French, and for them, it is fresh."

"Manager Jiang, you have a good idea," said Luo Weiming. "As far as I know, the French have always praised their artistic temperament and like to watch all kinds of strange movies. Not long after World War II, the French government has been boycotting Hollywood and advocating the diversity of film culture. If we can understand the right trick, we may be able to send Hong Kong movies to mainstream French theaters for release."

"Since that's the case, then you can go to France a few more times in the future and study the movie market there." Chen Chong nodded and asked again: "Where is the UK?"

"Maybe it's the same language, the taste of British filmmakers is similar to that of Americans, and they all focus on commercial movies." Jiang Zhiqiang thought for a while and said: "The ticket price of British films is the highest in Europe. Filmmakers are very rich, but compared to France and Nordic, they seem to look down on Hong Kong movies and are difficult to enter."

"Hong Kong is a colony, they think they are the masters." Chen Chong sneered and said, "I will go to Britain to have a big game sooner or later and slap them in the face."

"Then we're waiting to see the show." Luo Weiming took out the cigarette box, smoked a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Zhiqiang, and then took one himself and said, "Boss Shen, I'll apply for you first. I want to go to see the world in Cannes next year. What do you think? I'll give the air ticket myself, just give me a vacation."

"I'm not so stingy." Chen Chong leaned back and avoided the smoke, saying: "If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to go to Cannes next year. Then everyone will go together, and I will charter a flight.

Luo Weiming was stunned and immediately asked, "Take "South Sea Thirteen Lang" to participate in the exhibition?"
