Help out.

This is something that is simply unimaginable in Hong Kong City. No one in Jiahe or Xinyi City can create such a scene.

Jet Li also integrated his experience of unfair treatment on the crew into the story of the movie.

The conflict between national soldiers and American soldiers was used to express this dissatisfaction, so the martial arts scenes in this film are also extremely explosive and full of angry power.

Coupled with Xu Xiaoming's martial arts design, the effect is extremely shocking, completely different from the "Shaolin" trilogy, which only presents the beauty of martial arts moves and routines.

Therefore, both Yindu Agency and Jet Li have great hopes for this film.

During the Lunar New Year period in 1988, this film finally landed in major left-wing movie theaters in Hong Kong, challenging the Lunar New Year films from the three major film companies: Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Debao.

But what Yindu Agency and Jet Li never imagined was that because the film lacked comedy elements and was too tragic, the film was completely defeated by the combined forces of Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Sammo Hung.

The box office is simply not good enough. It has been a week since its release and only HKD 6 million has been received. It is expected that it will only cost HKD 10 million by the time it is released.

This result is not even as good as the "Shaolin Temple" that Jet Li made his debut six years ago.

It can be said that Jet Li's first time as a director ended in a disastrous failure.

And because the subject matter of this film involves multiple sensitive issues, the mainland has never been able to pass the review. The reply to the Yindu agency was that it could not be released in the mainland for the time being.

As a result, Yindu Organization, which invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to shoot this film, suffered a huge loss, and is expected to lose at least six million Hong Kong dollars.

Only then did the leaders of the film bureau help connect the film and introduce Lin Bingkun to Ning Weimin to talk about Japanese distribution.

Needless to say, for Lin Bingkun, Ning Weimin is probably his only hope. Now he hopes that Ning Weimin will be his successor so that he can recover some costs.

But no one is a fool. Even Zhang Shihui and Luo Guangliang understood it. How could Ning Weimin not understand it?

The protagonist of this film is an anti-Japanese soldier, and he has to clash with the US military and fight in the ring.

Considering the feelings of the Japanese, it would probably be difficult for a movie like this to be shown in Japan, and even if it were shown, there probably wouldn't be many viewers.

For this reason, Lin Bingkun naturally did not dare to make too many demands and took the initiative to lower his body.

He didn't have high expectations for the box office in Japan, so he hoped to buy out the copyright and sell it to Ning Weimin.

The asking price is only six million Hong Kong dollars, and the goal is probably to protect capital, as long as it can make no loss or profit.

However, he did not expect that after patiently understanding all the circumstances, Ning Weimin not only did not negotiate a lower price, but actually increased the price quite a bit.

"How about 10 million Hong Kong dollars? Mr. Lin, you have to make some money in the city."

"What? Did I hear you correctly, Mr. Ning, are you... kidding?"

"I'm not joking, but my conditions have increased. I not only want the Japanese copyright, I want the copyright for the entire Asia, including mainland China. Even the copyright for Europe and the United States, is that okay?"

"Mainland China? Mainland China, this movie has not been censored. Have you forgotten..."

"That's just now. Can I wait, maybe ten years, maybe only five years, before it can be released? I don't believe that such a good movie will never be released to the public."

"Well...I can only say that you are gambling on your luck."

Lin Bingkun shook his head in astonishment, "What about Europe and the United States? Mr. Ning, you don't mean to say that you also have distribution channels in Europe and the United States. As far as I know, only Jiahe in the entire Hong Kong City can do this..."

"Frankly speaking, I can only talk about cooperation with French film companies at the moment, but I can wait. Again, I believe that our movies, especially excellent movies, will not be stuck in the status quo forever. Sooner or later, we can

Enter the international market..."

Lin Bingkun had never seen anyone doing business like this before. He didn't know whether to say that Ning Weimin didn't know the business or was too idealistic.

I was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.

On the contrary, Ning Weimin smiled and raised his hand casually, "Mr. Lin, I know you are worried about me. However, no one likes to lose money, and I only offered this price to you after serious consideration.

An elder has always told me that few people can make money from it. This is

Big business. If many people can make money from it, it is not a big business. I am optimistic about the actor Jet Li, I also like this subject, and I believe in Yindu's shooting ability. In my opinion, the failure of this movie is not at all

There is something wrong with the quality. I’m afraid it’s the subject matter and playing time.

There is a problem. Forgive me for being offended, what Hong Kong people currently lack most is the feeling of home and country. They have been colonized for too long, and it is difficult for them to find emotional resonance from such movies. Especially during the Chinese New Year, most people definitely like to celebrate.

, hate pessimism and. So I think this movie is only

If you find the right market, you will definitely be able to sell it well. And from my personal point of view, I also hope that banks can support Jet Li to continue filming movies, not only because he is my hometown fellow in Beijing. But also because the lack of feelings about family and country,

The more movies like this are needed to change them..."

Lin Bingkun was stunned for a moment, and finally showed a happy and convinced expression.

"Mr. Ning, it's better to meet each other than to be famous. Thank you very much for helping me."

"Wherever it goes, it's thanks to your help that "Li Xianglan" can be released in Hong Kong City. To say thank you, we should all thank the leaders of the Film Bureau."

"Yes, that's right. Then for 10 million, I will give you all the copyrights you want. We have settled this matter."

"It's settled."

Lin Bingkun nodded vigorously, almost bursting into tears with gratitude.

He had never thought that requesting such a big thing could be done so effortlessly.

This is self-evident. For him, there is no way to recover the 10 million Hong Kong dollars through market operations.

Whether it was because, as Ning Weimin said, he was really optimistic about this movie, or he was just doing it to support the creation of the movie for national support, anyway, he remembered this favor.

In this way, Ning Weimin accompanied Lin Bingkun and several cadres from the film bureau to the door and repeatedly asked them to rest assured.

He said that when the contract was signed, he would pay the check, so he appointed Luo Guangliang to continue sending these guests to the car on his behalf.

As for Zhang Shihui, although he had the opportunity to report to Ning Weimin about Manager Sha at this time, he completely forgot about it because of his mental shock.

After watching the conversation just now, he couldn't help but feel in awe of Ning Weimin.

You must know that in Zhang Shihui's eyes, both the leader of the film bureau and the general manager of Yindu Organization are unattainable big shots.

Such people actually came to Ning Weimin's door so politely today and asked him to buy Jet Li's movie.

But Ning Weimin bought it when he said he would buy it, and he didn't worry about losing money or losing money at all.

Ten million Hong Kong dollars can be spent as easily and naturally as they spent a thousand dollars in foreign exchange coupons.

What kind of psychological quality is this?

What does this mean?

Just thinking about it makes me sweat...

He would never be able to do it anyway, and this scene convinced him even more than the exaggerated pomp and ceremony when he saw Ning Weimin getting married.

This buddy of his has grown tremendously now, always bringing him amazing discoveries.

It's impossible to look straight at it, which makes people look up at the mountain.
