Chapter 525 Attempt to Land on the Island(3/3)
Tao Yushu's trip to the United States this time was mainly for the distribution of the co-production film. The company's investment in this co-production film was US$15 million, which is 120 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars.
We found New Line, an American independent production company, to co-produce. They said it was a co-production, but in fact most of the investment was made by Lin. New Line only invested some symbolic funds and was responsible for the distribution of the film.
There was nothing we could do about it. Lin was not well-known in the United States, and this co-production was a comic book adaptation that was not well received, so we had no choice but to act this way.
"It's done, the movie will be released in March. "Parasite" won the New York Film Critics Association Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Sentinel Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the reviews were good."
Wu Meizhen showed a smile on her face and flattered her twice.
"Okay, there's no need to film the flattery. Call all the screenwriters in the company to the conference room. I want to hold a meeting."
"OK."
On the first day after returning to Hong Kong, Tao Yushu worked hard. After a busy day at the company, the lights were already on when he walked out of the Yulang Building.
After arriving home, Lin Chaoyang was not there. He didn't go home until almost nine o'clock.
"Why are you later than me today?" Tao Yushu asked.
"Someone's treating me."
"A treat? Who is so kind as to treat me?"
"How can anyone treat me kindly? It's all business." Lin Chaoyang explained in a relaxed tone: "Boss Shen from Litong Books wants to distribute my book to Southeast Asia."
When Tao Yushu heard about Litong Books, Litong Books was the first publishing company in Hong Kong specializing in the distribution of books. It was established in the 1960s, and its channels cover Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries.
"This is a good thing, but why did he suddenly come to you?"
"He said it was because WD did not allow me to visit and exchange some time ago, and the incident was reported by the media in Southeast Asia.
He felt that my novels were selling well in Hong Kong and WD, so there was no reason why they couldn’t be sold in Southeast Asia, so he wanted to give it a try.”
