Chapter 197 Overseas Broadcasting Rights of Films
"Junior brother, this building is yours. It's really magnificent."
Shi Shaojian looked up at the Wenchang Building, which had more than a hundred apartments, and felt it was so majestic that he could hardly believe his eyes.
It has been more than ten years since we last saw each other. The mushroom-headed girl who used to foolishly love to go against me has become like this.
In the past, Mushroom Head was stupid and incompetent, but now Wencai is handsome and has the appearance of a Shanghai tycoon, which makes Shi Shaojian look at him with new eyes.
The Wenchang Building is located in the French Concession and was purchased by Wencai at a cost of two million yuan, specifically for entertaining friends.
If the Japanese invade, the French Concession is the safest place.
Huang Jing, Chen Long, Hong Dabao and Liang Runsheng all live here.
The main purpose of buying this building is to provide good management staff.
Wencai also plans to buy some real estate, but he will wait until the Japanese invade the city and take the opportunity to buy when the housing prices drop sharply.
Now is not the time.
"I made a little money from making movies, but it's nothing to worry about."
"Movies, I didn't expect that you can make movies, you're awesome, I admire you so much. It's said that the female stars are all very pretty, you must have done a lot of sneaking in these years."
"No problem. I'll ask Runsheng to take you to see some fun things in Shanghai. You can take a few days off before going to the Demon Suppression Department. I'll arrange a stable job for you."
"It's okay. I'll have fun in Shanghai. I'm here to follow my junior brother's instructions. I can start work tomorrow."
"That's good. I do need help recently."
Wencai is very satisfied with Shi Shaojian's current attitude.
A villain like Shi Shaojian.
He flatters those who are powerful and bullies those who are weak. He has no bottom line in his evil magic and will do anything to achieve his goals.
Although Liang Runsheng is useful, he is just a mortal after all.
There is no way he can compare with someone like Shi Shaojian who has all the evil magic skills.
The thing to be afraid of is not a villain, what is scary is that the villain has evil and wicked abilities.
Why did Wencai use Shi Shaojian instead of Qiu Sheng, who was as close to him as a brother?
All because Qiu Sheng is worthless compared to Shi Shaojian.
Qiu Sheng only holds his master back, and he always does things with a smile on his face and never takes things seriously.
Ghosts are extremely vicious and if you are not careful you will end up like Taoist Qianhe.
If someone does things like Qiu Sheng, it would be fine if he died, but he might even implicate his master.
If Wencai had not grown up with Qiu Sheng, everyone would have suspected that this senior brother was a traitor sent by the devils to suppress Uncle Jiu, just like Yamato Reiko.
In the original plot, Wencai and Qiu Sheng are stupid, silly, arrogant and proud.
They do things in a non-serious manner and laugh all day long.
Such a personality has put Uncle Jiu in danger almost three times.
How dare Wencai use such great intelligence!
To be honest, the good guys in movies and TV dramas are not as useful as the villains.
Most of the decent characters are either very smart or very virtuous, useless and a drag on the team, while the villains are all cautious and efficient.
The next day, Shi Shaojian came to the Demon Suppression Department.
Wencai arranged a captain position for him.
Then, Wencai solemnly handed over the task of acquiring the cinema to Shi Shaojian.
Movies should still be shown in theaters; open-air cinemas are just a temporary stopgap measure.
Things like acquiring cinemas had to be left to his subordinates, and Wencai planned to concentrate on practicing his skills as a pharmacist.
His intuition told him that the profession of pharmacist was not even worse than that of Taoist priest.
Wencai became an unsung hero by finding people to cure diseases and save lives.
The disease that Wencai treated most often was venereal disease.
This disease gives the most experience points, and curing it will gain experience points faster than curing kidney deficiency.
At that time, umbrella condoms had not yet been invented, and Shanghai was a foreign metropolis with an abundance of prostitutes.
According to reliable statistics, among every thousand prostitutes in the Republic of China, only a dozen or so did not have sexually transmitted diseases.
The infection rate is 90%. Once infected, the whole body will be covered with large poisonous sores, and then the skin and flesh will ulcerate.
In the Republic of China, syphilis was an incurable disease, and prostitutes infected with it would be unable to live or die.
It is even more terrifying than cancer and AIDS in later generations.
Therefore, Wencai's treatment of syphilis and gonorrhea was equivalent to saving a life, and even indirectly saved more than a dozen lives, so he gained experience faster than treating ordinary diseases.
Soon, the pharmacist rose two levels and obtained the skills to make medium-quantity gold healing medicine and medium-quantity magic medicine.
That is commonly known as medium red and medium blue.
The amount of liquid required to make these two medicines is 2 points each, which is twice as much as Little Red and Little Blue.
However, Wencai still chooses to make small red medicine every day.
His current pharmacist level is 4, the upper limit of the medicine liquid is 4000 points, and he can make 40 bottles of small red medicine every day.
On this day, Huang Jing suddenly found Wencai and said that a foreigner wanted to buy the overseas broadcasting rights of "The Warriors' Kingdom vs. the White Bone Demon" at Baima Films.
The literary talent was extraordinary, so I arranged to meet this person at the office of White Horse Pictures.
The foreigner was an ugly Chinese man in his forties, wearing a suit and holding stationery.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm Simon Pai from Fox Films. I want to talk to you about the broadcasting rights of "The Kingdom of Women vs. the White Bone Demon"."
The foreigners sent Simon to explain their purpose.
Wencai was surprised. He didn't expect that it was a major international film company.
In fact, Fox is in a very bad state now. It was reorganized last year, in 1935.
Although he is very famous, he doesn't have any outstanding movies now.
Simon happened to come to Dragon Kingdom on business. He accidentally saw the battle between the Kingdom of Daughters and the White Bone Demon, and was immediately shocked.
This White Bone Demon is so real, it doesn’t look like a prop at all.
If Hollywood were asked to shoot the film, they would definitely use a wire skeleton or actors wearing fluorescent skeleton costumes to shoot in dark places.
However, this film was played during the day when the light was bright.
Seeing the lifelike skeleton moving, Simon couldn't help but marvel.
Meg, that's amazing.
There were no computer special effects in the 30s, and movie special effects relied entirely on shooting techniques, props, and makeup.
The monsters and ghosts put on scary makeup and spit tomato juice from their mouths.
Such a realistic skeleton monster shocked Simon.
With his business sense, he immediately decided to introduce the film "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Daughters".
In recent years, the film industry of Ugly Country has surpassed Dragon Country by several dimensions.
The Dragon Country's movies are still about love, while the Ugly Country is already making horror and science fiction films.
The two negotiated for a while, and Simon Lin offered 100,000 ugly yuan to buy out the White Bone Demon movie.
Ten yuan is equivalent to one million legal tender of the Republic of China.
Wencai disagreed and demanded a share of the box office revenue.
In the end, the two reached an agreement.
Wencai received 20% of the box office revenue.
This share is already very good.
According to the rules, the cinema takes 50% and the producer takes 50,000.
Sending Simon to give 20% of the box office revenue to Wencai is already a high price.
It’s not that this foreigner is willing to back down, it’s because he sees the potential of White Horse Pictures.
Wencai also wanted to broadcast the movie abroad, so that it would have a greater impact and make the Japanese even more infamous.
Everything was settled and the film was handed over to Simon.
After getting the film of the White Bone Demon, Simon flew back to the Ugly Country the next day.
Fox's theaters all had ready-made cinemas, so Simon was sent back to dub the film and play it immediately.
Filmmakers back then were all quick-handed.
In just half a month, the movie was released in the United States.
It has to be said that ugly Chinese people are born to like watching pornographic, violent and horror movies.
As soon as the movie was released, it received an immediate and overwhelming response.
"Oh, the devils are so bad, even worse than Xideluo."
"Look, Colonel White-Bone is eating people."
"How pitiful! The beautiful queen made a great sacrifice to save her people and the divine monkey."
Americans like to watch pornographic, violent and terrorist films the most, and they also forcibly add in big truths about human nature, death, love and redemption.
This film completely conforms to the aesthetic taste of ugly Chinese people and provides them with a strong viewing experience.
After the first round, Wencai got one million yuan.
The ugly yuan is not the legal currency of the Republic of China.
One million ugly yuan is equivalent to 10 million legal tender in the Republic of China.
One film and television city can make back the investment.
Not only that, Fox will continue to broadcast it.
Broadcast in the ugly country, the eagle country, and the Italian country.
I'm afraid if it's broadcasted all over the world, the profit will be no less than tens of millions of Ugly dollars.
Wencai made money, and Huang Jing's camera crew also got 100,000 yuan.
Huang Jing was stunned this time.
Chou Yuan, it’s actually Chou Yuan.
He felt that 100,000 French francs was too much, let alone 100,000 ugly yuan.
