Generally speaking, there are three main ways to distribute movies - sharing, buyout, and agency.

Later, there was a box office guaranteed release in the Mainland. This is a special variant under a special background. We will not discuss it for now.

Each of these three issuance methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, which need to be analyzed in detail. However, when traveling to a foreign country where you are unfamiliar with your life, it is best to use the buyout method.

You can get the money right away, without any side effects, simply and neatly!

Seeing Rong Guang's hesitation, the reception manager continued to persuade with a smile: "Rong, we have many friends in the Cannes Organizing Committee. Your big contract of 3 million US dollars... haha? Huh?"

Rong Guang couldn't help cursing in his heart. It was indeed an old capitalist country, and it was shameless just to make money. Didn't the contracts registered at the Cannes Film Festival all claim to be confidential? I didn't expect that my trump card could be leaked to the MTO, so what's next?

How can we continue to negotiate?

Fortunately, I am not very greedy. No matter how much I deal with the MTO, I will end up giving myself more or less hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? But the settlement time may be relatively long, more than one or two years.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry to spend money. Rong Guang thought about it for a while and smiled: "Then happy cooperation!"

…

"Hey, Guangzi, why didn't you get the check today?" Yuanquan asked strangely.

"Do you think you can get money every time?" Rong Guang patted Yuan Quan's little head angrily. Seeing a local food stall on the roadside, he paid for a few skewers.

Yuanquan ate the grilled sea fish happily and said vaguely: "I don't care how you sell it. I want to care about your lavish spending. I just calculated it, you have spent more than ten thousand dollars this time? That's 10

Ten thousand, 100,000 (the U.S. dollar black market exchange rate during this period was basically around 1:8)! The salary of Chang’s mother in our school is only more than one thousand, and the old actors in the drama troupe, including their performance fees, are less than two thousand! You

Did you just spend 100,000? If I don’t care about you, then it won’t work! Humph!”

"..." Rong Guang was a little confused, "Quanquan, didn't half of it go to you?"

Yuan Quan cocked his neck proudly: "So we both have to save together. You have to listen to me! Humph! Also, don't keep using yours, I have some around me too. You have to keep them carefully and don't spend them randomly.

Hide more money and think about our future!"

"?"

Sure enough, once a certain relationship breaks through, a woman's change becomes rapid!

He smiled and shook his head. Hearing such nagging, Rong Guang would never feel disgusted. So he changed the subject: "Quanquan, I have made an appointment. We have another family below."

"Uh-huh."

…

The name of the person in the next house is Lin Yuewen. He is Hou Hsiao-hsien's translator this time, and he has some connections in the Hong Kong circle. When exchanging business cards that day, Rong Guang asked Lin Yuewen, hoping that he could recommend a Hong Kong film company. For now, Rong Guang

There is simply no way to gain connections in the Hong Kong circle.

"Director Rong, Miss Yuan."

"Lin Sheng, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"It won't take long. This cafe's cakes are quite famous. You can try them."

"..."

After a few words of greeting, Lin Yuewen introduced enthusiastically: "Director Rong, I immediately asked a few friends to help me after I returned. Several companies were interested. However, China Star offered the highest price, and Xiang Sheng was willing to pay 2 million (HKD).

) buyout."

"China Star?"

I won’t introduce much about the past experiences of the couple Xiangsheng and Xiangtai. Whether it is online or in Hong Kong entertainment articles, there is an overwhelming amount of content.

But there is one thing that can be said. They have thirteen brothers, and they can still be thirteen elites in one discipline. This shows that these thirteen brothers do not have incompetent playboys, and they are relatively united. This should be the case in a big family.

Quite rare.

In addition, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Thirteen are developing in the direction of movies, and their hearts are towards the Central Government. This is also the old plan for the survival of large families in ancient and modern times - multiple bets! In fact, the development directions of the thirteen brothers are different.

.

But no matter what the motivation is, Xiang Sheng will benefit the most from his bet due to the rapid development of the mainland in the future, making him the most successful among the brothers.

However, Rong Guang doesn't care about those things at all, and those things have nothing to do with him.

Rongguang considered that among the Hong Kong film producers, China Star was one of the weaker ones, even inferior to the state-owned banking institutions. Can they really do it if it is left to China Star to distribute it?

But then I thought about it and realized that I was indeed obsessed with it. It was just to sell the film, so why bother with other people's distribution?

Rong Guang smiled and nodded: "Lin Sheng, this business can be done."

"That's good." Lin Yuewen immediately smiled and said, "Director Rong, if you have time, can you speak to Xiang Sheng now?"

Of course, Lin Yuewen will not do voluntary labor. As long as the business is successful, he will be able to collect commissions. And he will receive commissions from both ends, so he can make two kinds of money.

Seeing Rong Guang nodding in agreement, he borrowed the phone in the cafe and dialed the Hong Kong number directly. After saying a few words, Lin Yuewen handed the phone to Rong Guang: "It's Mrs. Xiang."

"Oh. Hello, Mrs. Xiang."

"Hello, are you Director Rong?"

"To be too polite, just call me Guangzi. Should we buy it out at the agreed price of HK$2 million?"

"Of course we are happy, just make friends. Guangzai, I heard that you were very sharp in Cannes this time?"

"Excessive praise, too much praise. Mrs. Xiang, since we are talking about friends, I can't hide it from you. You are a senior and you should know that making movies is risky. Is this okay? It's just 2 million Hong Kong dollars. The price remains unchanged. I will give Hong Kong and Taiwan

Will all the distribution in Southeast Asia be given to you?”

"No problem, then we owe you a favor. If you are happy, of course I will be happy too!" Xiang Tai was indeed very happy.

Anyway, Rong Guang is not able to do the distribution in Taiwan and Southeast Asia for the time being, so it is better to sell favors now.

Besides, Rong Guang prefers a win-win situation, preferring to be more conservative and make less money for himself, while also allowing the publisher to make money. Otherwise, it will be difficult to continue cooperation next time. More importantly, keep the Hong Kong circle of Xiangtai

The relationship may come in handy in the future.

Now that I am planning to join the Chinese entertainment industry, there is no way around the Hong Kong industry.

Of course, Mrs. Xiang will not give the 2 million Hong Kong dollars now. She will at least wait until the contract is signed after returning to China.

But Lin Yuewen's commission is best paid now. He also knows that this is actually a one-time business. After the buyer and seller have contact, who will use any middleman?

Therefore, when Rong Guang came to the bank happily and directly transferred US dollars equivalent to 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to Lin Yuewen, he happily said goodbye and left.

"Hmph, you are doing better this time! Not only did you not get the money, but you also gave it to others? You are such a prodigal man! Humph." Yuanquan rolled his eyes and pouted coquettishly.

Rong Guang laughed. He knew that Yuan Quan was actually quite sensible. He just took advantage of the opportunity to act coquettishly to him: "Let's go! Let's start working hard. Go back and eat instant noodles!"

"Okay! You're still angry with me! I'll beat you--!"

"Haha. Spanish food! How about we just eat Spanish food? Haha!"
