Chapter 44 Moving out of Kowloon City
"In the original agreement we signed with Jiahe, the copyright of "Shaolin Temple" belongs to Baiyang Pictures, and the box office revenue of various countries and regions in Southeast Asia belongs to Jiahe, and Baiyang will not take any penny. Baiyang will distribute the film in other regions.
But now that the screening has ended, Jiahe has re-screened "Shaolin Temple" without our consent, which is an infringement. If I go to court with him, , then he has to spit out the money he earned from the re-screening."
Xia Meng didn't expect this section, so he took out the contract and read it, and said: "This contract does not involve the terms of re-screening. , how about we consult with a lawyer first?”
Yang Ye was not sure and said, “Then we’ll consult with a lawyer.”
Xia Meng nodded and asked: "Why do you have trouble with Jiahe as soon as you come back?"
Yang Ye said: "Those two old guys want to take advantage of me, so I took "Shaolin Temple" to Japan to find a publisher. At that time, they secretly communicated with Toei Company to create obstacles for me."
"How did you know?"
"I was lucky enough to have a man named Kadokawa. Haruki's rich second generation traveled to Taiwan and watched "Shaolin Temple". Then he found me and agreed to my request. He also purchased Nippon Pictures, which ranked fifth in Japan, and became my distributor. "
“This...can it still be like this?”
Xia Meng seemed to be listening to the myth, and thought to himself, this luck is so good, no wonder he used the word "luck" to describe himself.
In fact, even if there were no Yang Ye, Kadokawa Haruki would still buy Konippon Pictures, thus starting the era of large-scale production of Nippon Films.
It’s just that Yang Ye made too much noise in Japan, which made his action advance by half a year.
Yang Yedao: "After Kadokawa Pictures released "Shaolin Temple", Toei Corporation was dumbfounded. One of their executives, maybe out of provocation or some other reason, made things difficult for me by joining forces with Golden Harvest and Toei Corporation. , told me.”
“Zou Wenhuai wants you to be desperate and go back to him”
"Otherwise, what else could it be? The old guy just wants me to know that overseas distribution is difficult, and he wants me to be his satellite company and leave all the distribution matters to him. Then he takes the big head and I drink some "Soup." It's clear that this is the only way to make a claim.
After we fix the evidence, we can discuss with Jiahe how much of the re-screening income he should give us. , If you don’t give it, it’s not too late to complain.”
Yang Ye said with a smile: “Sister Meng, you are thoughtful, so let’s do it like this.” You should study more!"
Xia Meng rolled his eyes: "Don't pour honey on me. By the way, I have initially selected a few locations for building a cinema. Let's go check it out in the next two days. .”
Yang Ye continued: "No problem! The position chosen by Sister Meng must be good."
The main reason is that this woman is so beautiful that even rolling her eyes looks better than others.
......
Zou Wenhuai put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed: "This kid is a real dragon!"
This is a "Ming Pao", which published A photo shows people queuing up to watch "Shaolin Temple" on the streets of Tokyo.
One week after "Shaolin Temple" was released in Japan, the box office has exceeded one billion yen and is still rising.
He Guanchang said: "Who would have thought that a dude would suddenly come out and take over Ah Ye's movie, which completely failed our plan. What's more, we didn't expect that Ah Ye's kung fu would be so powerful. All the martial arts masters in Japan were defeated, which made him gain a huge reputation in Japan."
"You said that the Japanese people are also weird. Being beaten like that by Aye made them even crazier. Buy tickets to watch his movies.”
“Wu Qingyuan was regarded as a chess master by the Japanese when he swept the country. As a result, the Japanese were more respectful to MacArthur than the emperor. They even built a shrine for MacArthur and worshiped him devoutly. "
"It seems that the contract with Aye is going to be changed. Didn’t we ask for 30% of the box office share before? I heard that the contract with Kadokawa Pictures of Nippon Film Company was also the same. What do you think we should do the same?”
"This guy is very opinionated. I'm afraid he has a big appetite and won't be easily satisfied."
"Let's talk about it first. He is Chinese, and his basic base is Chinese from Nanyang. He wants to sell in Nanyang. He can't do without us."
"That's not possible. I'm worried that he will start his own business."
Zou Wenhuai lit his cigar. He frowned and said: "This possibility is very high, but it is not easy to realize. If Lu Yuntao had not died in the plane crash, we would not have been able to grow bigger. Aye did not have such an opportunity." After saying this, he felt unlucky. Aren't you cursing yourself to death? He sighed quickly.
He Guanchang said: "We were able to take over Lu Yuntao's film industry because of the investment of Thai bosses. What if a big boss now takes a fancy to Aye's potential and invests in him?"
Zou Wenhuai Said: "We are more professional in making movies. It is better for him to cooperate with others than with us. In any case, try your best to win over him first. Don't take advantage of him. Give him what is his!"
< br>......
Yang Ye threw the key to Chui Shuiqiang and said, "From now on, this house will be left for you to live in."
Chui Shuiqiang took the key and said happily : "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will take care of your territory for you."
"If someone comes to cause trouble, remember to tell me!"
"I will!"
Yang Ye looked around at the neighbors who came to see him off, and said seriously: "Although I want to move away Yes, but you still have to pay the rent. If anyone dares to default on the bill, be careful I will burn your shop down."
Everyone burst into laughter, and someone said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I'll beat you up." People, to bring glory to the Chinese people, we will not rely on your rent for anyone else’s money.”
Yang Ye said with a smile: “If you are really good at talking, then everyone’s rent will be... Fold it.”
"Wow! Mr. Yang is so powerful!"
The neighbors beamed and applauded.
Amidst warm applause, Yang Ye took little Amin, waved to everyone, got into a car, and left the Kowloon Walled City.
The car drove into a villa in the middle of the mountain and stopped.
Yang Ye got out of the car and shouted to a truck that was coming in: "A Feng, help Sister Zhou move her things in."
Du Qifeng agreed and started moving things into the house with Gao Laoming and Chui Shuiqiang.
Amin looked at the beautiful big house in front of him as if he was dreaming.
She raised her head, glanced at her mother, then at Yang Ye, and said timidly: "Young Master Yang, will my mother and I live here from now on?"
Yang Ye touched her head and said with a smile: "Yes, does Amin like it?"
"Yes!"
"Go in and have a look!"
Amin walked into the big house and saw that it was full of brand-new furniture. The windows were very large, and the sunlight came in, spilled on the floor, and bathed in her little body. on, making her feel particularly warm.
A very beautiful elder sister appeared in front of her and said softly: "You are Amin, right? This doll is for you!"
"Thank you, sister!"< br>
Amin took the doll and turned around to see Yang Ye talking to her mother.
Yang Ye said: "Sister Zhou, you and Amin will live with me from now on, but your job is not easy. You have to clean such a big house and tidy up the flowers and plants in the courtyard. . In addition, there is no need to talk about cooking and washing clothes."
Sister Zhou said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I promise to keep your house in order and make you live comfortably."
"Okay, you go ahead and cook. Zhizhi has already bought the vegetables. Let's try your cooking today."
"Okay!"
