The Taiwan movie market is very interesting.

Nowadays, domestic films often have a box office of over 100 million yuan. Whenever they mention these, Taiwanese filmmakers always look envious, but these works can only be exchanged for a roll of their eyes at the box office of Taiwanese.

"Let the Bullets Fly" sold in Taipei only less than NT$1 million, which is about NT$200,000, "Painted Skin" 4.5 million (about NT$1 million), "Orphan Zhao" 160,000, "Love of Hawthorn Tree" 30,000, and "Three Guns Shooting" 20,000...

"Dulala's Promotion" has a box office of over 100 million yuan in mainland China, and it only sold NT$7,700 (about NT$1,600) in Taipei, which is probably not enough to have a copy of the printing fee.

Hollywood blockbusters of the same period have a box office of at least 10 million yuan in Taipei.

Perhaps many people will be surprised by this result, why is this happening?

Why is the box office of mainland movies not good in Taiwan? Zhu Yanping, a great director who has filmed bad movies such as "Slam Dunk" and "The Story of the Tomb", has something to say: "I will correct a mistake first. Not only does mainland movies have no box office in Taiwan, but Hong Kong movies have no box office, and Japanese and Korean movies have no box office, which may be worse than Chinese movies."

Moreover, Taiwan’s film strategy is very disgusting. They stipulate that only 10 mainland movies are allowed to enter the Taiwan market in a year. The publisher must queue up to apply at the beginning of each year, on a first come, first served basis, and until the quota is full, so it is very important to start first.

Such policies have also affected the pace of the simultaneous release of mainland films in Taiwan.

Taiwan stipulates that a movie can only start publicity after getting the quota. In other words, after a normal movie is screened in the mainland, it will only take at least two months for Taiwan to be released!

Fortunately, this time, "Chinatown Veteran" is backed by Huayi!

Huayi may be the only mainland film company to establish a branch in Taiwan. "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Painted Skin 2" are released simultaneously on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, greatly reducing the threat of piracy in the film.

Shen Lin is known as an idol-level director in Taiwan.

He is both young and handsome, and the most important film directed by him is good.

The previous movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was released. Out of respecting the other party's viewing habits, Shen Lin specially found a professional dubbing staff and authentic Taiwanese dubbing, which made the Taiwanese audience feel respected!

So, it is understandable that the box office hits a new high.

However, even Shen Lin did not expect that he could reach a box office of NT$300 million (60 million RMB)!

Directly ranked in the top three film history rankings of Taiwan!

The key point was that the crew of "Those Years" had not been promoted much, and they just made a circle of soy sauce in Taiwan, and even "Kangxi is Coming".

This time, "The Veteran of Chinatown" can no longer hide.

One month after its release, the box office broke the record and hit NT$410 million, leaving the local pride "The Swords" behind. Only Cape Seven and "Setkebale" ranked first.

The publisher could not withstand the request of the masses and repeatedly suggested that the crew of "Veter" go to Baodao.

It is said that it is the crew, but only Shen Lin and Lin Gengxing, Sun Honglei is filming, and Huang Bo, this guy is very popular in Taiwan.

The three of them went to Baodao to promote the movie "Chinatown Veteran" that has been released for a month

...

"Mr. Huang Bo, can you sign me?"

"Mr. Lin Gengxing, can you take a photo with me?"

There were many passengers on the plane and the aisle was a little congested. Even the flight attendant took advantage of the work and took the notebook to find Lin Gengxing and Huang Bo's signature.

Chen Linze looked at their faces that were almost stiff.

As soon as I got off the plane, hundreds of fans who picked up the plane immediately rushed up, crying and shouting, so crazy!

Chen Lin listened carefully and said that there were more people with Huang Bo’s name than Lin!

Damn, does this guy have that much influence?

Although Lin Gengxing has experienced fans picking up the plane, this is Taiwan!

Very moved and almost burst into tears!

Then there is the media meeting.

Chen Lin originally thought that with the great success of "Those Years" and "The Veteran", no matter how blind the media in Taiwan was, they would not do anything.

But the facts are a bit hard for him to accept.

"Director Chen Lin, is your movie "Veteran" a complaint of mainland dictatorship?"

"Director Chen Lin, your movie "Veter" obviously copied Chen Long's "Police Story". Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Director Chen Lin, I heard that you have a deep prejudice against the Taiwanese actors, so I rejected Zhao Youting and Ruan Jingtian's proposal to play the leading role, right?"

It makes Chen Lin a little uncomfortable!

"Where did you get this news? I repeat that "Chinatown Veteran" is just a very ordinary action comedy movie. As for what you said about plagiarism of "Police Story", I think it's a bit too exaggerated. If I really plagiarize, you probably won't see the movie released!"

"Also, what you said is that refusal to act in a movie by Taiwan actors is even more nonsense. I treat all actors in Greater China equally!"

Then, these reporters directed the topic to the poverty in the mainland.

So annoying!

...

This trip to the treasure island was planned for three days. The process was to hold a media meeting first, then attend two cocktail parties, make friends with some local filmmakers in Taiwan, and then record "Kangxi is Coming"

Chen Lin was very unhappy. He originally thought that the treatment of this time when he came to Taiwan would be different from last time, but the result was not much different.

The media still doesn't like a few people!

Chen Lin really didn't want to attend the cocktail party that night, so he couldn't stand Chen Yang's advice, so he went there.

"Director Chen, our Taiwan has produced a lot of talents in the film industry in the past two years. Are you interested in filming in Taiwan?"

"Haha, I'll think about it again!"

At the cocktail party, a bunch of local natives in Taiwan wanted to invite Chen Lin to direct the movie.

To be honest, Chen Lin would not look down on the market at all. If it weren’t for the superiors to ask him to go to the treasure island, he wouldn’t want to come at all!

A movie that exceeded 60 million yuan can actually shout "The wolf is here!"

Too stingy!

"Director Chen, the editing scene of "Chinatown Veteran" is really shocking..."

"I really can't believe you are only 24 years old, congratulations!"

"Director Chen, do you need any good roles in your next work? We have many good people here."

In a corner of the cocktail party, Chen Lin was "bombarded" by these big names in the entertainment industry. They either greeted him or had a few jokes. The person had just walked away, and another person or couple came up. Chen Lin kept talking to them, saying thank you, and his faces changed continuously.
