early December.
Yun Hua received news from Hong Kong Island.
Director Wang Miao's friend who worked in Three Lions contacted Wang Miao and said that Yun Hua's script was ready to be approved.
Wang Miao was very surprised.
Generally speaking, there are huge cultural differences between foreign countries and China, and there are barriers in film creation. You may be able to enjoy foreign films, but you, a native of China, cannot write a film script that conforms to foreign cognition of.
So when Yun Hua told Wang Miao that he was going to submit a script to a foreign film company, Wang Miao didn't take it seriously at all, because it was really impossible.
However, it actually succeeded!
The script was left behind by the film company, but the project is actually going to be approved!
You know, film companies often hoard all kinds of scripts, and many of the hoarded scripts will not be shot for many years. Yun Hua has only been handed in for a few months, and he was selected. It is unbelievable that the project should be established. !
Wang Miao had also read Yun Hua's script.
It's just a horror movie, it doesn't seem to be anything special, why was it picked so accurately
"The movies in Europe and the United States have ratings. They like this kind of low-budget horror movies. The cost is low, and they can be shot casually. It's very stress-free. At the same time, there are some thought-provoking realistic thinking. This is the favorite style there."
Yun Hua said something concisely.
Wang Miao couldn't help feeling that Yun Hua was beyond his imagination, always surprising him.
However, this script is suitable for foreign countries, not Hong Kong Island. From this point of view, what Yun Hua wrote to him is suitable for the Hong Kong Island market. She really knows the subject matter!
It was very inconvenient for Yun Hua to communicate with foreign countries in the mainland. If he communicated frequently, he would be easily identified as a spy.
So she entrusted this matter to Wang Miao to help her contact Country M.
She keeps in touch with Wang Miao at all times.
"Buy out the script for $100,000?" Yun Hua thought for a while, "Are you asking if they accept investment? I won't take the script fee, it will be converted into the film investment, and I will share it in the future."
After Wang Miao contacted her, she quickly told Yun Hua, "I don't accept it."
Yun Hua sighed, "If you don't accept it, there is nothing you can do. Then I ask for a script fee of 150,000 US dollars. You tell them that I have registered this script with the Script Guild. The copyright is also registered."
Wang Miao thought that the other side would not accept this price, but unexpectedly, the other side agreed quickly!
$150,000!
For the current domestic, it is simply an astronomical figure.
In this era, the exchange rate is very low, and 150,000 US dollars can only be exchanged for 200,000 yuan, and the exchange rate is about 1.5.
However, this is only the official exchange rate. In fact, due to the huge gap against the US dollar in the country, this exchange rate is basically useless. Domestic purchases of various advanced instruments and technologies internationally must be settled in U.S. dollars, so it is impossible to exchange them for U.S. dollars at the standard exchange rate in China. In the black market, the exchange rate is very high up.
If the $150,000 was placed on the black market, it could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of RMB.
But Yun Hua didn't plan to take the money back to the country, it was easier to operate outside.
The Three Lions movie wasn't stupid either. Yun Hua's script looked like a series, and they wanted to take this opportunity to sign with Yun Hua for at least the next two scripts.
Of course, Yun Hua would not agree. The price of signing the sequel now and the price of renewing the contract after the first release was a big hit, it must be a heaven and earth. She is not in a hurry to spend money and can afford to wait.
At the same time, she also got a reply to her contribution to a well-known publishing company in country M!
