Chapter 062 Isn't your identity as a great talent from southern Jiangsu universally acknowledge
To Li Jiaxin's surprise, Guan Zhilin happily poured tea for her.
"Hasn't Brother Nan's status as a great talent already been widely recognized?"
"If only (Kung Fu Hustle) had been a huge hit, that would be fine. (Click) has grossed HK$2100 million in Hong Kong so far."
"(Never Endless) still has HK$2200 million left, and the sales figures aren't bad either."
"They're all his scripts. Ah Hong and I often follow him to see how he creates on set."
"It's perfectly normal for Hollywood studios to offer $20 for a script these days."
$20 was the price paid for a script by a relatively well-known screenwriter in Hollywood in 91.
The earliest phone callers in the 20th century or Warner would offer $50,000, a price that would be hung up on instantly in southern Jiangsu.
During the conversation, the Hollywood group discovered that Su Nan was a Chinese screenwriter?
You're not just a screenwriter, you're also the owner of a Hong Kong film and television group!
After doing some background research, I learned that (Kung Fu) ultimately grossed HK$5072 million in Hong Kong.
It topped the Hong Kong Island box office with a total of US$650 million.
It may seem like a small amount, but it represents the box office revenue contributed by millions of people in Hong Kong Island!
The number of moviegoers is more than 144 million.
The film and television group over there just realized that the script for "(Peerless)" wasn't something you could get for just tens of thousands of dollars.
After accepting the teacup and thanking him, Li Jiaxin's eyes sparkled. "Brother Nan, then you should sell this script directly to Hollywood."
"Aren't you planning to film or produce anything on Hong Kong Island?"
Su Nan laughed and said, "We were expected to start filming together. If the Hollywood production is successful, it could gross $1 million at the European and American box office."
"At that time, our Chinese version of the publicity will be much more time-saving and labor-saving, and it will have more hype than the lives lost in Kung Fu."
"Ah Xin, you've thought about it for so long and you still want to sign with Skyworth, so just sign it."
He wasn't particularly interested in Li Jiaxin; he could simply treat her as a small cash cow.
Skyworth signed Xu Yajun, Jiao Enjun, and Hong Xin simply to earn commissions!
In the past month or two, "Click" and "Never Ending" have been box office hits in Hong Kong.
Their results are all in the tens of millions? That's a far cry from their original global results of several hundred million dollars.
How much did Infernal Affairs gross worldwide? Infernal Affairs grossed $2.92 million worldwide!
With a box office of HK$21-22 million in Hong Kong Island, the film is still showing and has already ranked in the top teens of the year's box office!
For example, the film "The Five Hundred Million Dollar Inspector: The Story of Lui Lok and His Son" is worth 2313 million in Hong Kong.
This film is enhanced by the legendary corruption story of the real-life inspiration for Lui Lok, stars Andy Lau, and boasts the added halo of Lui Lok's first film breaking 3000 million HKD.
The fact that the remote control has 2100 million views already demonstrates Hong Jinbao's star power and influence.
(Never Ending) Relying solely on Joey Wong to attract new talent and turning the tide with exciting and satisfying stories!
The good news is that Xu Yajun and Jiao Enjun went from being unknown to becoming incredibly popular overnight.
Li Jiaxin nodded and thanked him several times before asking curiously, "Brother Nan, has Zhou Huimin's solo film contract been transferred yet?"
"Amin has such a big belly, what kind of 'pure and innocent female singer' is this? This is deceiving her fans."
It's October 30th, and Amin's new album is doing quite well after a month since its release.
This album solidified her reputation as the "Queen of Jade Girls".
Amin is still playing the second female lead in the drama "Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts," specifically the coffee shop employee who had a brief romance with the male lead in the American version.
This also corresponds to the character Yuan Li in (What Women Want).
However, this version's second female lead is definitely not as unrestrained as the American version; she's more restrained.
The most popular female-centric films are still the modern romantic comedies starring Wan Tzu-liang and Brigitte Lin.
Su Nan almost lost his composure. He coughed and retorted, "Ah Xin, you're practically one of us now that you've signed with Skyworth."
"Don't speak so freely."
Ah Xin giggled, "If we're only talking about looks, I'm definitely not afraid of any pretty girl, but when it comes to figure, I'm clearly outmatched."
"Brother Nan, you don't know, your reputation as a good man has spread far and wide."
Su Nan looked at me with the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Me?
Li Jiaxin nodded, "I always wanted to persuade Lau to divorce and take over, but in the end, he not only didn't divorce, but also threw such a big birthday party for Cai Shaofen."
"Not to mention other temporary plants, such as those for business entertainment."
"A business tycoon like you only dates two people, and you never go out socializing or clubbing. You're too honest!"
Su Nan was both amused and exasperated.
Rosamund Kwan even chimed in, "Ah Yan, don't think that just because you've joined Skyworth you can speak so freely."
"Aren't you just making things harder for me and Ah Hong?"
The silver chicken scandal that broke out on Hong Kong Island involved a group of people in the entertainment industry, including Miss Hong Kong contestants.
Many tycoons and billionaires, both inside and outside the industry, have not even formally dated a few.
Going out to nightclubs and calling teachers are common occurrences; that's just how capitalist societies are.
The "real estate prodigy" who followed Liu the fan as his underlings all had a lot of fancy stuff to do, and organizing yacht trips at sea was nothing new to him.
You said that people from southern Jiangsu never go to nightclubs, never charter yachts for sea trips, and never pay attention to young models, etc.
It's definitely a rare quality in a good man. Are there any men like that in the entertainment industry? Yes, for example, there are very few like Yuan Biao and Li Lianjie.
But wouldn't it be great if good habits just continued like this? What if Li Jiaxin's complaints sparked new preferences in southern Jiangsu?
Then she and Chen Hong felt resentful.
Su Nan was speechless. "Alright, Ah Xin, go sign the contract. Zhi Zhi, let's go to the (Women's Heart) film set this afternoon. They're almost done filming there."
It's mostly dialogue-driven and doesn't have many traditional special effects or stunts; that's how fast the production was.
Li Jiaxin also stopped talking and hurriedly nodded.
Time flew by and it was three in the afternoon.
When Su Nan was on his way to the film set of "I Know Women's Hearts", his mobile phone rang again, this time from the 20th century.
After exchanging only a few words, he said with slight surprise, "You want to remake (Never Endless)? $30 for a remake? I'll think about it."
After exchanging a few words and hanging up, he fell silent for a while.
Someone from 20th Century Fox had already gone to Hong Kong Island, watched the movie (Limitless), and became interested in remaking it.
Regardless of whether Hollywood previously paid attention to Hong Kong films or not.
However, the script of (Dynasty Warriors) attracted professionals who read (Never Ending).
Those with a keen eye could estimate that changing the cast to white actors and having stars lead the way could give them a chance to rake in tens of millions of dollars at the box office in the United States.
It's not impossible for the film to eventually break 100 million in Europe and America; it depends on the cast, quality, and marketing strategy.
In this case, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the remake rights is definitely worthwhile!
After the global box office of the remake of "Infernal Affairs" (Infernal Affairs), "Infernal Affairs: The Departed" reached $2.9 million.
Hollywood once saw a wave of buying the remake rights to Hong Kong films, but none of the other projects made as much of a splash as Infernal Affairs.
Because the newly signed junior colleague, Li Jiaxin, was also in the car.
Rosamund Kwan sat in the back with Ah Yan, while Su Nan sat in the front passenger seat.
Li Jiaxin got excited again, "Besides buying the script for $20, they're also going to remake Skyworth's movie?"
"Wow, Brother Nan, you're amazing! I'll definitely make you famous when I get to the film set."
Not only (Never Ending), but the people from 20th Century Fox who came to Hong Kong also found (Remote Control) quite suitable for a remake.
It's simply a matter of taking things one step at a time after having the idea.
Try one or two first; only if they succeed can we continue to discuss business cooperation.
After collaborating two or three times, Su Nan was able to get 20th Century Fox to help him manage the global revenue sharing of (The Matrix).
Titanic, the biggest blockbuster of 20th Century Fox in the 1990s.
The film grossed 3.6 million RMB in mainland China, but the other party only received 13% of the revenue, the lowest in the world.
In Europe, film producers and distributors often receive more than 40% of the profits.
Now you know how much Hollywood studios will offer to gain access to the Chinese box office.
The first collaboration only involves selling ports and the money paid is not much, but the second and third collaborations become more in-depth.
