Chapter 606 The Flying Teenager
On July 6, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released in Singapore and Malaysia, on July 7, on Treasure Island, and on July 13, on Xiangjiang.
This led to the film's tour in Asia.
Li An and the starring actors have to go through each country and region, hold premieres, watch movies, accept interviews from reporters, and repeat the same process.
It can be said that they watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the most times, and each person watched it at least ten times.
Even so, you have to watch it carefully every time and don’t be absent. Being photographed by a reporter will have a negative impact.
How can you attract audiences if you don’t watch your own movies?
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has different responses in different places.
The audience in Xiangjiang talked coldly, but the critics were more pertinent and did not criticize them.
Due to Li An, the audience in Baodao is quite enthusiastic, attracting audiences from different social classes to enter the theater, setting a box office record in Baodao area.
The responses from Southeast Asian countries were very enthusiastic and achieved good box office results.
This gave the American Columbia Film Company confidence, increased its publicity efforts, created momentum in Asia, and then entered the European market to prepare for European publicity in August.
When the news reached the country, the phenomenon of flowers blooming inside and outside the wall sparked discussion.
Some people still insist that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is filmed for Westerners. They believe that Southeast Asian countries are greatly influenced by the West and are consistent with the aesthetic views of Westerners.
Some people also reflect on why domestic movies can’t get out? Why is “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” popular?
Is it the reason for Li Yan or the reason for the movie itself?
This question cannot be answered for the time being and needs continuous practice to verify it.
Lin Zixuan is not very concerned about these news. No matter how high the box office is, Haomeng Company will not be able to pay for it. They signed a copyright sale contract, not a box office sharing agreement.
Lin Zixuan wanted to sign a box office sharing agreement, but theaters in those countries did not agree.
This involves the international release of the film.
Taking Hollywood Film Company as an example, there are two ways for their films to enter the film market in other countries, one is to buy out copyrights and the other is to share the box office.
Before 1994, Hollywood movies entered China through copyright buyout.
The buyout price of a Hollywood movie is around 20,000 US dollars, and they are all old movies of low quality.
This price is not attractive to Hollywood film companies.
In 1994, China began to introduce Hollywood blockbusters by splitting accounts, with a split ratio of 17%.
If you want to sell domestic movies abroad, you will buy them out at a low price.
There are two reasons for this. One is that domestic film companies do not have global distribution channels and do not have direct contact with theaters in other countries.
It can only be sold to intermediate film manufacturers, and then the film manufacturers promote and distribute it to theaters in those countries.
Another reason is that domestic film companies and domestic films are not well-known and do not have a brand effect.
When it comes to film companies such as Warner and Fox in Hollywood, everyone knows that when it comes to Good Dreams, people have never heard of them.
This is the brand effect, the reputation accumulated with countless hits and films around the world.
Only when Good Dream Company has this reputation can we discuss box office sharing with theaters in other countries.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a business card that opens the Western film market, allowing Haomeng Company to obtain an entry ticket.
When "Hero" is released overseas, Lin Zixuan will try to do this.
At this time, another incident caused heated discussion in the media. Han Han completed the withdrawal procedures on the eve of the summer vacation.
He failed many subjects and was really not interested in learning.
The media is critical of Han Han's withdrawal from school, and they do not think Han Han will have a bright future.
One day, Han Han will regret the choice he made today.
In fact, there are quite a few middle school students who drop out of school and work in China, most of whom are due to family poverty.
The education system is not perfect, the allocation of educational resources is unevenly, the education in rural areas is backward, and the arrears of teachers' wages are currently problems that need to be solved in the field of education.
However, Han Han dropped out of school not because of his family’s poverty, but because he did not want to go to school. This is the main reason for media criticism.
The teacher asked him what life you rely on in the future if you drop out of school now.
Han Han replied that it depends on the royalties.
The manuscript fees of domestic publishers are generally settled once every six months, and they are also once every three months. This depends on the contract signed by the writer and the publisher.
In July, Han Han happened to receive his royalties, with more than 300,000 yuan.
After receiving the royalties, Han Han did not devote himself to creating at home, but instead bought the latest Fukang car.
Since its introduction to China in 1992, Fukang has become the main brand in the domestic mid-range car market.
It has high cost performance and good after-sales service. It is an economical model. It is the first choice for ordinary people to buy cars and is called the "three old ways" in the car market.
These three cars have their own advantages: Santana is practical, Jetta is fast, and Fukang is fashionable.
The new Fukang hatchback model launched on the market in May 1999 is priced at 164,000 yuan and the sedan model is 188,000 yuan, which is suitable for middle-income families.
With the development of the domestic economy, private cars have entered ordinary families.
Especially in big cities, traffic jams have gradually become the norm for travel.
The rapid growth of private cars has led to the booming driving school business, which has caused various chaos.
The driver's license exam in the past two years is very easy. Just pay the money. The driving school and the car manager have all the relationships, and they are responsible for finding someone to take the exam and ensure that they can get the driver's license.
Han Han bought a car in Shanghai and drove all the way to Beijing.
He drove to Beijing not to have a ride, but to modify it.
The domestic modified car market is just starting, and many wealthy families in Beijing are racing racers. If you want to modify your car, you should come to Beijing, and there is a professional modified car market.
According to traffic regulations, modified vehicles are illegally operated, and modified vehicles are not allowed to be on the road.
But the traffic police department basically doesn't care. People who can afford to play with modified cars these days are either rich or noble, and they can't afford to provoke them.
After Han Han arrived in Beijing, he found a car friend who had contacted online and modified his Fukang car. All configurations were according to racing standards.
He spent 260,000 yuan to buy a car and modify it.
Racing is a luxury game.
Before becoming a professional driver who gets a salary, you need to pay out of your own pocket for buying, modifying, practicing, and maintaining a car.
In the modified car phase alone, the price of a professional racing shock absorber is between 100,000 and 200,000.
A tire costs more than 3,000 yuan, and you basically have to replace three of them once you try it. You can’t afford to play without a million assets.
Han Han didn't know this at this time, he just liked the feeling of driving a racing car.
Driving his modified car and racing across the roads in the capital, he felt that such a life was cool.
