62【Film Release】
In less than two hours, Ye Jin and Wu Siyuan had arrived in Taiwan.
After passing the airport customs, several people were holding signs at the entrance of the passage, "Welcome Wu Siyuan, Mr. Ye Jin!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but be stunned, feeling a little surprised, "Director Wu, why are there so many brands?"
"Those film dealers knew that I was coming today, so they all sent people over." Wu Siyuan smiled when he saw this.
Ye Jin suddenly realized and then started laughing.
Unexpectedly, these film dealers even rushed to the airport to grab the movies.
"Don't worry about them, let's go to the hotel first, and then chat with the film dealers slowly." Wu Siyuan said with a smile.
Ye Jin nodded.
The two ignored the person who came to pick him up and left Songshan Airport and took a taxi to the hotel first.
The two of them asked for a suite. After they settled down, Wu Siyuan picked up the phone and contacted the film dealers.
"Brother Wu, where are you now? My man waited at the airport for a long time, but why didn't he see you?" someone on the other end of the phone said curiously.
"Hey, Brother Ni, there are other film dealers at the airport. How can I report my identity? If it happens, it's not a problem." Wu Siyuan smiled, "I'm in a hotel now, let's make an appointment to meet."
"What else are you going to make an appointment? Come here immediately. I have already set up a banquet at Hailong Restaurant and I'm waiting for you to come." The person on the other end of the phone smiled.
"Brother Ni is so polite." Wu Siyuan smiled, "How can I feel embarrassed about this?"
"Hey, they are all brothers, don't be so polite." Brother Ni on the other end of the phone smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you here, see you." After that, he hung up the phone.
...
Wu Siyuan smiled, then made several more calls, all of whom wanted to invite him to meet and have dinner.
According to Ye Jin's estimate, they should be all Taiwanese film merchants, and they want to invite Wu Siyuan to dinner and talk about the "Snake-shaped Hand".
"Director Wu, how about it?" Seeing Wu Siyuan finishing the phone call, Ye Jin stepped forward curiously and asked.
"It's all old foxes." Wu Siyuan smiled, "Okay, let's eat one by one."
Ye Jin and Wu Siyuan left the hotel and took a bus to Hailong Restaurant.
After reporting their names to the restaurant manager, Ye Jin and the others were taken to the private room.
When I opened the door of the private room, I saw that there were already five people sitting inside, two men and two women.
Both men are middle-aged men, while both ladies are young and beautiful, with charming dress and frivolous behavior.
Just as the door was opened, Ye Jin caught a glimpse of a woman sitting on a man, and another man reached into another woman's arms.
As soon as the door opened, the few people were startled and then separated as if nothing had happened.
The two men stood up and looked at Wu Siyuan, Ye Jin greeted him, "Brother Wu, you are finally here, but let me wait."
"I should have arrived early, but I didn't expect the traffic jam on the road." Wu Siyuan also called out, pretending not to see the situation just now, "By the way, Brother Ni, let me introduce it to you. This is Ye Jin, A Jin, this is Mr. Ni Xuanni, the boss of Jin Film Industry."
"Oh, this is Mr. Ye. Oh, it's amazing! A hero is a teenager, so lucky to be happy!" Ni Xuan looked at Ye Jin and smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Ni!" Ye Jin shook hands with him with a smile, and pretended that he hadn't seen anything just now.
"Okay, okay." Ni Xuan smiled, "By the way, this is Kang Huigan, the vice president of our company. Just call him Lao Kang."
"Hello, Vice President Kang." Ye Jin hurriedly shook hands with Kang Huigan again.
"Hey, why are you two still sitting? Come and see two VIPs." Kang Huigan said to the two ladies, "These two are both great directors and big stars from Xiangjiang. Don't be blinded by the sight of Taishan."
After hearing what he said, the two ladies immediately came forward, and the fragrant wind blew on their faces, the sound of orioles and the sound of swallows, what a gentle place.
Originally, these two ladies were pretty, but now they were as enthusiastic as they were, and they threw themselves into their arms. Ye Jin was also a normal man, so naturally he could not help but feel swaying.
However, thinking of the scene I saw just now, the evil fire in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Although he is not a Taoist scholar and has no mental obsession, he has no interest in such a woman who can welcome and send people to the public.
"You two should accompany our guests today." Ni Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing his orders, the two ladies immediately felt coquettish.
"Come on, Brother Wu, Brother Ye, please sit down." Ni Xuan said with a smile again.
Ye Jin was entangled by a woman and felt very uncomfortable.
However, seeing that Wu Siyuan did not express his opinion, he did not force himself to stand up and sat down with them and wait and see what happened.
...
"Come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables! Drink, drink!" After everyone sat down, Ni Xuan warmly welcomed him.
The woman who was with Ye Jin also helped him pick up food and pour wine, and always deliberately put it on him, making Ye Jinyue uncomfortable.
In order to divert attention, Ye Jin focused on eating vegetables.
He has been here for more than half a year and has not eaten anything good.
I ate boxed lunches on the crew and usually eat street stalls. This is the first time I have eaten these delicacies in more than half a year.
He simply shook his cheeks, lifted his back teeth, and ate them hard.
On the other hand, Wu Siyuan talked to Ni Xuan about the "Snake Shameful Hands".
In the 1970s, film shops were basically buying out. The merchants spent a lot of money to buy out the screening rights and then took on their own profits and losses. The film shops did not participate in dividends, and no matter whether the box office was good or bad, they had nothing to do with the film shops. This is called film batching in mainland China.
If a businessman buys a box office movie that sells well at a low price, he will undoubtedly make a profit. On the contrary, if he buys a box office movie that loses badly at a high price, he will undoubtedly lose a lot.
Therefore, this way of doing things still has certain risks.
In order to avoid risks, businessmen naturally choose to buy movies with box office and reputation.
When "The Snake-shaped Hand" was released in Hong Kong, it had a first-class reputation and had a box office of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was now at the moment when it broke through the 2 million Hong Kong dollars mark.
Such a movie with reputation and box office, major merchants are naturally rushing to buy it.
But if you buy, the price should of course be as low as possible so that you can make more money.
So Ni Xuan held a grand banquet, fresh seafood, bird's nest and shark fin, everything. He also invited beautiful women to accompany him and used beautiful women's plans to soften Wu Siyuan's will and make him give in a little more.
Wu Siyuan is not a rookie either, so he naturally would not be confused by such a little trick.
He is an investor in "The Snake Shame" and if the price is sold well, he will make all the money. At that time, he will be able to buy any enjoyment.
So he was also very persistent in the buyout price of "Snake Shame Hand". NT$8 million cannot be lost.
The exchange rate of the New Taiwan Dollar to Hong Kong Dollar is about 7 to 1.8 million New Taiwan Dollar, equivalent to around 1.1 million Hong Kong Dollar. To be honest, this price is not too high.
After all, the box office of "The Snake-shaped Hand" in Hong Kong is about to exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan's film market is much larger than that in Hong Kong.
Taiwan has a population of 16 million, which is nearly four times that of Xiangjiang.
In 2012, according to statistics from relevant departments, Taiwanese people watched movies eleven times a year, and they also had to pass through Asia, Japan, Xiangjiang, Tianzhu and other places.
