Next, "Those Years" will soon be released in Xiangjiang, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
At the Venice Film Festival, Qi Hao even sold the overseas adaptation rights for "Those Years."
Although it was only a few hundred thousand US dollars, it was equivalent to recouping the cost of the script.
At that time, he only spent a million to buy the rights.
The adaptation rights were included when purchasing the rights.
Arranging for "Those Years" to be shown in Taiwan sparked quite a bit of controversy.
There, they now use a 'quota lottery' system for importing mainland films, randomly selecting 10 mainland films for distribution in Taiwan each year.
However, Qi Hao's last movie "First Love, This Little Thing" won a spot in the lottery, and now "Those Years" has been selected as well.
It would be surprising if there was no trick involved.
However, no one seems obsessed with having movies released in Taiwan anymore.
