Chapter 701, 2.2 billion box office!(2/2)
Li Zhifan shook his head, "Okay, since we have made a decision, let's stop talking nonsense, draft a contract! Get the money right after signing the contract!"
"Ok, OK!"
Zhu Youxue pushed the small box, "There is five million in it, just treat it as a deposit! I'll call you the rest!"
"Okay! Then I'll leave!"
Li Zhifan said, "The crew is still busy over there! I'll see you again!"
"Oh, let's have a meal!"
"It's evening!"
Li Zhifan opened the car door and got out of the car, looked at Zhu Youxue and the champion lady beside him, and smiled, "I won't disturb you on a date."
The car door is closed.
Zhu Youxue and the woman beside him stared blankly at Li Zhifan who was walking away from the window.
"Hey! Is there any problem with him selling it to you like this?"
The woman asked in confusion, "And two hundred million, do you need this high?"
"Of course!"
Zhu Youxue smiled and said, "Although "Infernal Affairs" has been released for a short time, its brand and reputation have been formed. I will win the copyright of the TV series and continue to shoot sequels, and also film the mainland version and TVB version, haha! How about finding you to be the heroine at that time?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
The woman instantly stopped caring about whether Zhu Youxue had become a sucker, and she acted coquettishly into his arms...
Back to set.
Li Zhifan handed the small suitcase to Liu Zexin: "Check how many there are in the card, and then make it into my account."
"You are..."
Liu Zexin asked in confusion, "Is Zhu Youxue here to give you money?"
"Yes!" Li Zhifan smiled and said, "I asked him for 200 million, which is not considered cheating him, right?"
"Ah? What did you say?"
Liu Zexin didn't know the cause and effect, so he naturally felt inexplicable.
Seeing Li Zhifan laughing happily, he asked, "You mean, Zhu Youxue sent you 200 million yuan? What did he ask you for? Could it be investing in filming, right?"
"No! It's the copyright of the TV series "Infernal Affairs"!"
Li Zhifan touched his chin and said, "For others, this copyright is a hot topic, but for me, it is worthless. After the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, the Xiangjiang movie can come to a perfect end."
Others may be arrogant when they say this, but Li Zhifan is full of emotion when he says this.
He is looking forward to the appearance of "Infernal Affairs" which will open another golden chapter for the Hong Kong movie and extend his life for ten years.
But unfortunately, there will only be more Xiangjiang directors going north in the future, and the country's cultural integration will be integrated, so there is no more pure Hong Kong films.
Moreover, the "Infernal Affairs" he made is not a pure Hong Kong film. The mainland actors account for a large proportion, which is similar to those co-productions in the early years. With the cultural integration of the past twenty years, the term co-production has become a special noun for the integration of Chinese films and internationally, and has nothing to do with Hong Kong films.
...
Time flies, and a month passes soon.
"Infernal Affairs" finally earned 2.26 billion yuan in box office, which is dozens of times the original version of Another World. At that time, the mainland only received a box office of 80,000 yuan, but it sold an impressive record of 550,000 yuan in Xiangjiang and won the annual box office championship.
In another world, "Infernal Affairs" was released in Hong Kong in December 2012 and was released in mainland China in September 2012, with a 9-month difference. This was a fatal blow to the film in the market where pirated versions were rampant that year.
After the film was released in Hong Kong, pirated CDs were immediately available in various disc markets of Big 6, and then downloads were also available on the Internet, which was not very popular at the time. For those who love movies, such a good movie must be a sneak peek, so I enjoyed the movie from various offline channels.
By the time the movie was released in the theater nine months later, the sequels of the movie had been filmed, so naturally no one would watch the first one again.
Chapter completed!
