179 [Into East Ying]
After accepting Wu Yaohan, Ye Jin continued to film "The Strange Technique of Laughing Fist".
Wu Yaohan and Mai Jiashang worked as an assistant director on the crew, adjusting actors, arranging progress, checking for omissions, etc.
After having been in contact with Wu Yaohan for a long time, Ye Jin found that he is really a talented person. He graduated from a professional theater school and has very solid acting skills. He has also been an acting teacher for four years and has first-class skills in guiding acting skills.
Ye Jin originally thought that his acting skills were pretty good, but with his guidance, he realized that his acting skills were far from being inferior. Therefore, every time he filmed, Ye Jin would ask Wu Yaohan for advice first. He sharpened his guns in the face of battle, and he would be too happy.
...
Time passes day by day.
Although Ye Jin was busy filming and had no time to care about it, news came one after another.
One is that after the movie "Divine Fight" was released in Taiwan, it attracted a craze for viewing. Eighteen days after its release, the box office had accumulated NT$13 million. Although the performance was not as good as "Drunk Boxing", such results were already very good.
After all, "Drunk Boxing" was sold at that time, not only because the movie was good, but also because it was involved in the dispute between Chinese and Western films. A large part of the 25 million box office was taken advantage of the traffic.
In reality, the box office of "Drunk Boxing" in Taipei was only around NT$18 million. Therefore, "The Gods' Beat" has NT$13 million in 18 days after its release, which is a very good result.
...
The second news is that Jiahe wants to sell "The Gods" to the Japanese market.
Japan is the second largest film market in the world, with 150 million viewings every year, with a market size of about 1.5 billion US dollars.
Any film company in Xiangjiang hopes to sell the movies to Japan. But only a few companies such as Xiao, Jiahe, etc. can do it.
The reason is that the Japanese market is very closed and outsiders are not welcome.
When Xiao opened the Japanese market, he used Xiao Runze's personal relationship with Maichi Nagata, the boss of the Japanese Daei Film Company. In the 1950s, Xiao also introduced a large number of Japanese film talents in order to develop.
For example, "Yang Guifei", which won the Cannes Film Festival's Special Award in Photography Technology, was shot by Japanese photographer Masashi Nishimoto. In addition, [God of Special Photography], Ultraman and Godzilla's father Eiji Yuki, also worked in Xiao for a period of time, and also taught a very powerful apprentice, Lan Yucai.
In addition, in the 1950s, Xiao also bought a large number of Japanese movies to play in Xiangjiang. This further strengthened the cooperation with Japanese Film Company. Only with such unremitting efforts finally opened up the Japanese film market.
The reason why Jiahe was able to open up the Japanese market was mainly because of the Xiao family's glory. Because several of Jiahe's founders were all senior executives of Xiao family at that time, they naturally had connections with Japan.
After they changed jobs, they also brought this relationship out. Moreover, in order to successfully open up the Japanese market, they also used the most popular Japanese movie "Zatou" at that time to release a "One-armed Sword vs. The Blind Man" to help Jiahe's star Wang Qi enter the Japanese market.
Later, the kung fu superstar Bruce Lee launched by Jiahe and achieved great success in Japan with his unique charm.
Bruce Lee's "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight" had a ratio of up to 1.62 billion yen (the ratio of up to 50% to 60% of the total box office), and the ratio of up to 600 million yen in "The Dragon Crossing the River". Even the Japanese villain "Jingwumen", the ratio of up to 600 million yen.
At that time, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to Hong Kong dollar was about 34 yen to one Hong Kong dollar. Bruce Lee's three movies helped the publishers earn more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which was more than ten times the box office of Hong Kong.
Jiahe divided 40% of them, and there were also 30 million Hong Kong dollars. That's why the film company wanted to sell the movies to Japan.
Ye Jin also hopes that his films can enter the international market. Japan, as the world's second largest film market, is separated from Xiangjiang, so naturally became his primary goal.
If he can achieve high box office in Japan, it will naturally be very helpful for him to enter the international market.
The reason why Jiahe promoted Cheng Long back then was because he became popular in Japan, so Jiahe had confidence in him. Even though "The Killer Trench" and "The Detective of the Viagra" did not give up on him.
...
The third news is that the Xu brothers have joined Jiahe and the new film will be officially launched soon.
Ye Jin met the Xu brothers last time, and at that time he suspected that Xu Rongwen might leave the Xiao family and cooperate with Jiahe.
Sure enough, after a while, the news was indeed true.
As soon as the news that Xu Rongwen switched from Xiao's job to Jiahe was exposed, it immediately caused a shock in the media industry. If there were Weibo in that era, Weibo would definitely have been out of power.
The reason why it is so sensation is because Xu Rongwen is the most popular star of Xiao. The comedy he starred in is the most popular movie of Xiao. Even Di Long, Jiang Dali, Yue Hua, Fu Sheng and others are hard to compare with each other. Now that this popular star leaves Xiao and joins Jiahe, it is naturally particularly eye-catching.
Moreover, Xu Rongwen switched to Jiahe, and there were many questions that followed. For example, why did he leave Xiao, why did he cooperate with Jiahe, how did he get along with Ye Jin, the pillar of Jiahe, and whether there would be a battle between him and the tiger, etc.
These questions not only plagued the public, but also plagued the major media in Xiangjiang.
They tried their best to find out the inside story, and were more conscientious than 007.
There are also reporters who come to interview Ye Jin to see his attitude towards this matter.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think about Mr. Xu Rongwen joining Jiahe?" the reporter asked curiously.
"I really welcome Mr. Xu to join Jiahe." Ye Jin smiled, "I know he is a very talented person. His joining will definitely bring more vitality to Jiahe."
"Then aren't you worried that Mr. Xu Rongwen's arrival will affect your status in Jiahe?" the reporter asked curiously.
"What is my status in Jiahe?" Ye Jin asked with a smile, "I don't know myself, so how can I be affected?"
"You are Jiahe's number one brother, a pillar." The reporter quickly explained, "Your "The Gods' Beat" has already earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for Jiahe. You are the most popular and most box office-friendly person at present."
"Haha, you can really praise me. Thank you for your kindness." Ye Jin smiled, "But to be honest, I don't think there will be any conflict between me and Mr. Xu.
Because Mr. Xu is a comedian and I am an action actor, we each have our own styles and our own markets. What should I worry about if I don’t miss the water?”
"Then are there any possibility of cooperation in the future?" the reporter asked curiously again.
"Of course there is." Ye Jin smiled, "I look forward to working with Mr. Xu."
