"Your friend bought the film rights from India, which shows that Indian films have a huge market here.
You must know, our Indian Bollywood is the place second only to Hollywood worldwide. Movies produced by our Bollywood can definitely sweep the globe.
Your friend had a keen eye and was the first to realize this, which is why he sought us out and bought the rights.
But I still have many better movies’ rights here, would you consider buying them too? I can sell them to you in a bundle."
"No need for that." Chen Yiyang waved his hand.
Truth be told, although Bollywood in India isn’t quite second only to Hollywood as these Indians boast, it is quite powerful and has produced many good films.
There are many exaggerated clips of Indian movies that circulate online.
But although they’re exaggerated, they spread very widely dostically, which proves that these films do have so unique charm.
After all, many bad films dostically sotis can’t even co up with an interesting clip.
The bad films that everyone is familiar with actually belong to the not-so-bad category. The truly terrible ones, like "The Banquet" or "The Plot of the Palaces in the Spring and Autumn," can’t even cobble together an interesting clip.
Moreover, the primary audience for Indian films belongs to the lower-class civilians with an average educational level of prenatal dropouts.
Pretentiousness and fighting are what they love to see.
From this perspective, Indian filmmakers have fulfilled their mission well, successfully bringing most Indians to the cinema and continuously developing the Indian film market.
On the other hand, dostic counterparts have mainly been driving audiences out of cinemas these past years, letting them discover there are many cost-effective entertainnt activities besides watching movies.
But even so.
Chen Yiyang was not very interested in the films recomnded by the other party.
After all, the market is different, and the main users of the dostic market are not prenatal dropouts on average.
Most Indian movies are definitely not suitable here.
He got Chen Sicheng to bring these Indians over mainly to see sothing new.
However, he didn’t expect these Indians to eat and drink all the way until midnight before leaving.
"I’m really sorry for today." Chen Yiyang looked at the night outside, then at Chen Sicheng, who found a hotel for those Indians before freeing himself, and said, "I didn’t expect Indians to be so thick-skinned."
"In India, it’s impossible to do business if you’re not thick-skinned." Chen Sicheng said helplessly.
"A few years ago when our country was doing business with Indians, we would simply ship the goods after collecting only a 30% deposit.
As a result, after being tricked many tis, it’s now impossible to do business with them without seeing 60-70% deposit and paying the rest upon arrival at the port."
"Do these Indians not pay even after signing the contract?" Chen Yiyang curiously asked.
"In India, it’s impossible to get a result in a lawsuit in less than ten years. Even if you win, it’s hard to find the opponent."
Chen Sicheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you can make money from Indians, then there probably isn’t much in the world that can stump you."
"Alright then." Chen Yiyang nodded.
He decided that even if he beca the richest man in the world, he would never do business in India.
But unexpectedly, the day after Chen Yiyang just thought about this, he had to deal with Indians again.
Because a new piece of information ca from the bargain intel.
Today’s intel, rare Indian movie: so people from the Indian film industry are in the Imperial Capital looking for people to buy the rights of Indian films they have.
Buying the rights for a film called "Dangal" to be shown in Huaxia could be a successful catch.
The contact details of the relevant personnel are attached on the second page.
Chen Yiyang woke up in the morning and looked at today’s bargain intel.
Initially thinking he hadn’t sobered up yet, he thought he was seeing things.
But after breakfast and a shower, looking again seriously.
It wasn’t an illusion.
Today’s bargain intel was really about buying a film’s rights from those Indians in Huaxia.
Although Chen Yiyang chatted with those Indians for a long ti last night, he really didn’t take down their phone numbers.
So Chen Yiyang could only call Chen Sicheng again to get the Indians’ phone numbers.
When Chen Sicheng heard that Chen Yiyang wanted to do business with those Indians, he brought them over in person.
"These Indians don’t understand Chinese."
After bringing the Indians over, Chen Sicheng first found them a restaurant to eat at.
Though it was already morning, because no one treated them to breakfast, these Indians were hungry until now.
Most of the ti, they were arguing with the hotel why no complintary buffet breakfast was arranged for them.
This was actually Chen Sicheng’s fault.
To save money, he booked special rate rooms without breakfast for these Indians.
"Mr. Chen, why would you tornt yourself by doing business with these Indians?" Chen Sicheng said while carefully observing Chen Yiyang.
Seeing if he was still drunk from last night.
"I think, well." Chen Yiyang could only reluctantly find a reason and said, "Bollywood in India does have sothing to offer, what if there’s a good movie? We can buy the rights directly to play them dostically."
"Is there?" Chen Sicheng pinched his chin.
He wasn’t questioning whether India has good movies.
It was just that he thought, even if there was a good Indian movie, bringing it to play dostically would still face acclimatization issues; it only would be accepted dostically after adaptation.
Had Chen Yiyang said he was buying adaptation rights, he would think the business was feasible.
But buying film screening rights directly, that’s not very reliable, is it?
But since Chen Yiyang had already made up his mind, Chen Sicheng didn’t say much.
After all, Chen Yiyang was wealthy, maybe he just wanted to play around for fun?
After the Indians were full and satisfied, Chen Yiyang asked them which movie screening rights were available for sale.
"We’ve stored all these movies on a hard drive, why don’t we find a room and watch them?"
"Sure." Chen Yiyang nodded. "Let’s find a private screening room."
"No, no, no, a screening room like that is not suitable for watching our Indian films, we should find a restaurant, eat while we watch."
Chen Yiyang watched Alqion talking endlessly.
Wanting to ask if he was serious.
Screening rooms aren’t suitable for watching movies, but restaurants are?
However, at this ti, Chen Sicheng stood by the Indians’ side.
He also thought a restaurant would be more suitable.
Soon, Chen Yiyang understood why Chen Sicheng said that.
Because Indian movies, a film could easily be three to four hours long.
In India, halfway through the film, the audience needs a break to avoid having sore bottoms from sitting too long.
So, if you were to find a theater specifically to play a movie, you’d be worn out by the end of the day.
