Chapter 1731: Chapter 841: Returning Home

On the day of the film completion, the atmosphere on the set of "Killing Song" was very joyful.

On one hand, the shooting of more than a hundred days was finally coming to an end, and on the other hand, the filming process of this movie went smoothly overall, with no major issues, worthy of celebration.

Tim’s eyes were red while he was speaking.

"You young talents are the best actors I’ve ever collaborated with, and I’m really looking forward to the day we meet again," Tim said.

Many people came to Zhou Yun for a photo.

Zhou Yun did not refuse anyone and stayed until she finished taking photos with everyone before returning to the hotel.

She gave her team a holiday, allowing them to have a good time in Australia before coming back.

She herself went back to China first.

Everyone was very happy.

Zhou Lan personally came to Australia to pick up Zhou Yun, bringing Cao Jun along.

On the day they returned to China, the Australian sunshine was bright.

Zhou Yun took a picture of the sky at the airport and posted it on her Moments: Goodbye, Australia, I’m going back home!

People in her Moments kept liking it and leaving comments about meeting up once she returned.

On the plane, Zhou Lan talked to Zhou Yun about the deal for "Treasure", which eventually sold its distribution rights in Europe and America to Steve in the United States for 5 million dollars, and the rights in Japan to Longjie for 600,000 dollars, with others still in negotiation.

Zhou Yun nodded.

These were the contracts signed after multiple rounds of communication, and they were not upfront purchase prices; they could still participate in the profit sharing.

Zhou Yun told Zhou Lan, "In the future, let’s try to sell the films on a profit-sharing basis unless the production company is particularly short of money and urgently needs cash flow."

Zhou Lan said, "You might not even know how many production companies are now looking for us to handle overseas distribution; we have to watch new films every day."

Zhou Yun said, "This is not our primary business, let’s not let it take up too much of our energy."

"I actually think this is an opportunity for new business," Zhou Lan said. "It’s beneficial for us, and with such a channel, film companies will hold you in higher regard."

Zhou Yun thought for a moment and asked, "But do we really have the capability to do this kind of thing now?"

"Capabilities can be developed, the key is whether the opportunity to develop them is available. Now that the opportunity is here, are you going to give it up?" Zhou Lan urged, "Xiao Yun, you don’t need to worry about these, I will arrange everything, the studio is already actively recruiting. I feel that in the future, Chinese-language films going international is an inevitable trend, and we shouldn’t limit ourselves to just the agency business."

Zhou Yun said, "In fact, we’ve already started producing our own films, which is also a business we hadn’t done before."

"Producing our own films involves high costs and great risks; I don’t plan to expand in this area," Zhou Lan said. "Whether it’s investment or producing films ourselves, both are very risky, but mastering a channel, helping domestic films find overseas distributors, or handling distribution ourselves, the costs are much lower and the risks more manageable."

The two talked for a long time on the plane.

Zhou Yun wasn’t actually stopping Zhou Lan from doing this; she just knew it wasn’t that easy.

"Treasure" was a lucky catch; other films might not interest foreign distributors, or might not even sell.

Zhou Yun was worried that they might take on tasks beyond their capabilities, potentially delaying others’ film sales and failing to meet their expectations, which would instead cause others to complain.

Zhou Lan knew what Zhou Yun was worried about and immediately said to Zhou Yun, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t bite off more than I can chew. But, Xiao Yun, this opportunity is really hard to come by, and I believe that the next ten or twenty years will be the window period for Chinese-language films to go global. If we seize this opportunity, we will surely reach new heights."

With Zhou Lan saying this, Zhou Yun naturally did not refuse anymore.

Zhou Yun had full trust in Zhou Lan.

If she didn’t trust Zhou Lan, she wouldn’t have anyone else to rely on in her work.

So, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Alright, if you want to develop this business, go ahead. I’ll support you, but let’s not take on too much, or it’ll be tough if it all falls back on us."

Zhou Lan nodded, "Of course."
