The overseas copyright of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was sold for 7.5 million US dollars. I read book friends who have doubts, please explain
Around 2004, it was different from now. At that time, domestic blockbusters were really popular.
According to the public information I checked, Mr. Xu's "Seven Swords" has an overseas copyright of no less than 10 million US dollars. In the same year, there was also a "Raptor", which was co-produced by China and the United States. Several leading actors are new-generation actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Foreign fame is limited, but also sold for 10 million US dollars
Lao Mouzi and Akira Kurosawa of Japan said at the time that "House of Flying Daggers" sold 200 million yuan in Cannes, "Curse of the Golden Flower" exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars in Europe and America, and 10 million U.S. dollars in Japan
This data is definitely watery, but it should be 60%~80% true, otherwise the film will not sell for money, and the film studio will not invest hundreds of millions
At that time, the domestic market had not risen yet, making money overseas was the main psychology of all film and television investors
Considering Cao Xuan¡¯s fame in Europe and the United States and the background of martial arts craze, he won all the copyrights outside Asia for US$7.5 million. I think it is already very conservative
? With Universal¡¯s level of film business channels, the easy return of 18 million, even if it is to try the film and television appeal of Cao Xuan, an international singer, I think Universal is willing to pay to try
? If you can make money, you will be a new partner. If you don¡¯t make money, you won¡¯t lose much, so why not do it
Comprehensive consideration, I think this data may be a little distorted, but I can¡¯t talk about my self-confidence
For every plot I wrote, I checked some information and then deduced it. It may not be correct, but basically it will not be too divorced from reality, and it will even depress the feeling of pleasure.
In my initial expectation, many of Cao Xuan's statistics were far more exaggerated than those in the book.
However, considering that reality does not need logic, and fiction also needs logic, I am actually deliberately suppressing Cao Xuan
So you can accuse me of the data in the book, but I don¡¯t take the blame for ¡°exaggerated self-confidence¡±
In addition, there are still some friends who may not like this book very much, we can get together and break up, there is no need to "stab" me occasionally
Possibly this is your alternative way of expressing friendliness, but I personally don't like it very much
