The filming of "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" was completed and lasted nearly 5 months.

During this time, Hong Chen has been in the crew.

The production of this drama is very good, and Nuo Liang is worthy of being a top international director, and the shooting techniques and artistic conception are perfect.

Even if this drama is completed, it will become an unforgettable memory for the people in the crew.

Especially Hong Chen's clown.

However, at the same time, Hong Chen signed a confidentiality agreement.

That is, before the movie was released, Hong Chen was not allowed to release any information about his role as a clown.

Otherwise, there will be a huge amount of compensation.

For Hollywood movies, in order to prevent spoilers, many audition actors are required to keep secrets during auditions, and they must avoid the eyes and ears of the media to audition.

After the audition is successful, there will usually be an official announcement.

But there are a few film exceptions.

In this regard, Hong Chen does not care.

And to be honest, he now tells the world that he starred as a Joker, and not only will it not increase his popularity, but he will get a lot of ridicule.

This is the reality.

When the movie is released, even if he doesn't say that he is a clown, he will be praised by countless people.

After the completion of "The Dark Knight", Hong Chen did not rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible.

Because two days later, Yan Chi held the premiere of "Fatal" ID in a big theater in New York.

This guy knows how to market his own movies, and he is already a little famous in the thriller and suspense world, so it is natural to firmly grasp this part of the suspense fans.

Hong Chen was invited to participate.

During this time, Yan Chi has not been idle, and has been editing "Fatal ID".

The editing didn't take much effort, and it took about two months to complete. But then it was more troublesome, involving the distribution and promotion of the film.

It's never been easy to distribute movies in the United States.

With the foundation of the previous "Comet", Yan Chi found Hill Pictures again.

When "Comet" was released, the two parties made an agreement on account sharing, that is, the box office was too much, and the sharing agreement was changed, so the contract was signed.

But this time, Hill Films clearly wants to make more.

Yan Chi didn't expect this.

Several companies are not optimistic about the last film, and Hill Pictures is full of sincerity.

This time he came with sincerity, and Hill Pictures began to ask for more.

The reason is also very simple, the manager who signed with them back then Silver, left, which is equivalent to the relationship is no longer there. And now Hill Pictures is getting bigger and bigger, with more resources and better recommendations, it naturally needs more.

The box office of the last "Comet" in the United States, Hong Chen and Hill Films split the account eighty-two, Hong Chen got 104 million US dollars, and Hill Pictures got 26 million US dollars.

With a total investment of less than 1 million, and getting 104 million, Hill Pictures is obviously red-eyed.

So, in this part, the request they put forward was that they would take 40% if they opened on June 4.

Hill Pictures said that the Confederate Company, as well as other distribution companies, would only ask for the same as them.

So, Hill Films is their best bet.

This time, Hill Films' agent is called Ryder, and he said to Yan Chi: "You must know that it is not so easy for movies produced by Huaxia to be distributed in the United States, and we have treated you very favorably." ”

Yan Chi told Hong Chen about it.

Hong Chen didn't expect this to happen, so he resolutely decided to register a film and television company as an overseas branch of Hongchen Media.

The advantage of registering a film and television company is that it has the ability to distribute films. This means that the film can be released in theaters and is legally recognized.

There are a lot of things that go into it.

Ge Chen also specially brought the backbone of several companies here to take charge of this matter.

Fortunately, in a country like the United States, the power of power is not as good as the power of money, that is, with money, you can do whatever you want.

Therefore, from opening a company to obtaining the ability to distribute films, they used money to dredge up relationships along the way, and finally established an overseas branch.

Because of the weak foundation, the company was founded in a dilapidated office building in the suburbs.

With the ability to publish, the next step is naturally to contact the theater chain to prepare for distribution.

Again, this is difficult.

A film and television company with no works, the cinema is not willing to deal with too much at all.

Because, every year, many people make movies and want to release them in theaters, but the release is not so easy, and it needs to be communicated in advance.

In the United States, the film industry has always been a profiteering industry, in addition to the movies of the eight major film and television companies that people see every day, in fact, there are a large number of small film and television companies making some works every year.

It's just that these works will not be released in large theaters, and the film scheduling rate in small theaters is relatively low, so only a small number of people can watch them.

At this time, Hong Chen found AMC Cinemas.

AMC Cinema Line is the largest cinema chain in the whole country, and the owner of this cinema chain is Wanda Lao Wang.

In Huaxia, the relationship between cinemas and film and television companies has always been good, and the two can be said to be interdependent.

Moreover, in film and television investment and film production, Wanda will also participate.

The relationship between Hongchen Media Company and Wanda Pictures is acceptable, Hong Chen asked Ge Chen to contact Lao Wang, and he made a special trip back to invite Lao Wang to have a meal and discuss the release of "Fatal ID".

This is the relationship in the entertainment industry, with a relationship, everything is easy to do.

Lao Wang: "The movie is released, what a big deal, it's trivial." ”

The two sides hit it off.

Hong Chen is now the ceiling of mainland film and television, and Lao Wang is naturally willing to give him face.

So, the next step is to contact AMC Theaters to discuss the promotion and distribution of "Fatal ID".

This is undoubtedly a good start.

Other theaters found that the largest AMC theater suddenly released a new film "Fatal ID", and the promotional film was shot very well, and the film scheduling rate was also given 25%

All of a sudden, other theaters were also curious.

Cinemas are meant to be places to make money, and profits come first.

The reason why as soon as a blockbuster movie is released, all movie theaters rush to ask for it, is because it can bring revenue to theaters.

Now AMC has chosen a very strange movie to be released, and for what.

At this moment, Ryder, the emergency man of Hill Films, was also stunned.

"What? Their movie is coming out in AMC theaters?" Ryder said angrily, "Damn, this damn Chinese!"

After that, when Yan Chi contacted other theaters, the road was unimpeded.

Other theaters also agreed to release "Fatal ID", but the filming rate was not so high.

In this regard, Yan Chi did not make any further requests.

And today, it is the premiere of "Fatal ID" in AMC theaters in New York, which is also the screening venue, Yan Chi has done a lot of publicity and invited a group of thriller and suspense lovers, most of whom are film critics or well-known bloggers on INS.

Hong Chen came to the theater, and Yan Chi had already prepared a place for him.

"Long time no see, how's your movie going. Yan Chi asked him.

"It's okay, just waiting for the release. Hong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.

"Nuolan, Bell, and Gardeman are all filming with you?" Yan Chi said with great interest.

Nuolan is Yan Chi's idol, especially the "Inception", which can be said to be Yan Chi's most admired movie.

"Yes, Director Nuolan is indeed very powerful. ”

Yan Chi looked at Hong Chen and was envious, it had only been a long time since Hong Chen had been acting with these international first-line stars.

At this time, the theater was already full of people.

Most people are looking forward to this movie.

Before coming, some people speculated whether this movie would be as classic as "The Night the Comet Comed", or whether it was just the popularity of "Comet".

The results are about to be revealed.
