Maybe my English is a little less standard now, but after a lot of conversation and correction, my English will get better......

This is Lu Yuan's subconscious thoughts.

He had planned to have a good anal with Jenny in English, and he felt that chatting with foreign friends in English would increase his speaking skills.

After all, many things are the same as actual combat, no matter how many words you remember, no matter how good your grammar is, it is useless if you can't say it.

Don't ask why.

The question is that Lu Yuan wants to become a man who is proficient in English!

He thinks he has a talent for languages!

However, it is a pity that Jenny did not give Lu Yuan the opportunity to talk to her in English at all, but spoke Chinese directly.

Lu Yuan didn't know Jenny.

But Lu Yuan knows James.

Yes, it's the "California Guest House", ahem, it's the director of "California Nights".

Jenny told Lu Yuan that she was director James' assistant.

Lu Yuan could hear James dictating next to the phone while Jenny was translating James' words......

James wanted the global distribution rights for his own "This Man is from Earth" on behalf of the company.

Lu Yuan learned from the conversation between James and himself that this product has actually been paying attention to Chinese movies over the years, and his sudden explosion of the movie is naturally in James's attention.

After watching the trailer of the movie, James became very interested in the movie, and he seemed to see the potential, so he specially approached Paimon's distribution manager, hoping to get the global distribution rights of the movie......

James is naturally an old qualification in Paimon, and his status is of course different from that of other small directors, and the distribution manager immediately agreed after reading the information and learning about the movie.

James' meaning is actually very simple, he wants to win the global distribution rights of the film, and at the same time, sincerely invite the talented Lu Yuan to Paimon in the United States as a guest.

He hopes that the two of them can sit down and talk about the future development of films, and talk about shooting skills with each other.

He felt that the film might be able to take future sci-fi films to a whole new realm......

He admired Lu Yuan's talent very much, and it was definitely a good thing to have more contact with a talented young man like Lu Yuan in James's heart.

Lu Yuan also responded to James after listening to it.

It is true that the global distribution rights of the film are not given to other companies in his own hands, but he has to carefully consider the question of how to cooperate.

Adults, you have to be cautious in doing things naturally, right?

James naturally didn't have any opinions, but just sent an encrypted contract to Lu Yuan's mailbox.

What he means is that he hopes that Lu Yuan can give him a response as soon as possible, after all, there are still resources and gaps for a movie in April, and when other Hollywood blockbusters are released in May, there will be no such free control, and in May, the movies in Huaxia will be drawn, and there will definitely be no sales in the overseas market.

Lu Yuan was slightly silent for a long time after hanging up the phone, and then he called Wu Tingting and asked Wu Tingting to come to the office.

Wu Tingting came to the office as soon as she received the call.

She's weird.

In her impression, Lu Yuan rarely called her to the office in the middle of the night.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

"Sit, there's a little thing I want to ask you. Lu Yuan took a sip of coffee and moved his body.

The night in the early morning was a little cold, and sitting for a long time made Lu Yuan feel a little sore back pain......

"Oh, you say. Wu Tingting sat opposite Lu Yuan.

She was confused.

Bagatelle?

What trifle?

Is it about the issue of the promotion of tomorrow's films?

"Do you know about the global distribution of Huaxia films?" Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting.

"Global distribution of Huaxia films?" ......Wu Tingting was stunned for a moment, and then said very seriously: "Mr. Lu, it is very difficult for Huaxia Films to achieve global distribution, unless we are a large company like Tianyu and Huajin, so that we can have the capital to talk about overseas distribution rights with overseas companies......"

"Joints?"

"Well, yes, Mr. Lu, are you thinking about the overseas distribution rights of this "This Man is from Earth"...... I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry, this is very difficult for us, after all, in the past two years, our Huaxia company has basically introduced more Hollywood movies, and there are very few movies that have crossed overseas, Joaquin and Tianyu have gone out a few, but the response is not very good, basically it died not long after it went out, well, it is the type that loses publicity costs and does not make money, overseas companies are generally not very optimistic about our Huaxia films, after all, kung fu movies are rarely made now......"

"Oh, I see. Lu Yuan nodded.

Is the current situation of Chinese movies so miserable in Hollywood?

But it's right to think about it.

Chinese movies go to Hollywood basically because they are not adaptable, and there are some gaps between Eastern aesthetics and Western aesthetics.

"Well, Mr. Lu, in fact, I have tried to contact this part of the overseas, two days ago I also asked someone to contact the third-tier Hollywood entertainment companies like Midland and Frost and show them our box office data, it is a pity that people reject us outright as soon as they hear science fiction films, our Chinese films are really not competitive overseas, let alone science fiction films, it is estimated that they are laughing at us behind our backs...... After Wu Tingting said this, she suddenly felt that she might be talking a little too shocking, so she added another sentence: "Mr. Lu, in fact, we don't lack anything else, what we lack is just time, I believe that in another five or six years, our company will be able to connect with Hollywood like Tianyu and Joaquin......"

"Let's not talk about this first, let me ask, how does this Paimon compare to the two companies of Flores and Midland?"

Paimon...... Mr. Lu, Paimon is a major entertainment company close to the first line in Hollywood, and it is not comparable to Midland Flores in terms of strength and scale...... Lu Yuan, why do you ask that?"

"Okay, look at this contract. ”

"Contract?"

"Well, do you think this global distribution rights contract is okay?"

"Huh?"

Wu Tingting watched Lu Yuan turn the computer screen, and then clicked on the mailbox to open an English contract......

Her eyes widened as she looked at Paimon's logo on the contract.

Global distribution rights agency contract?

This......

This is......

"Look at it......"

"Mr. Lu, this, this...... This is...... Is it really true? ...... you? You...... Who gave it to you?" Even if she was as calm as Wu Tingting, she was stunned by Lu Yuan's sudden operation.

She looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

I started to stammer......

"James sent it to me, I hope we can give him a reply as soon as possible, but you also know, I've always been a very cautious person, and I definitely won't sign a contract or something, so I called you over to ask you to help take a look at this contract, well, if this contract is okay, let's sign it, although the overseas market performance of our film may not be good, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, isn't it?" Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

His expression was calm.

His expression seemed to be begging for him to sign, as if he was hesitating.

The sense of pretending to be forced is so incisive......

"James is, is it, the great director James...... How did you meet him?"

"Actually, I didn't know James very well, so I sold him two tunes, a piano piece and a song...... But what he said on the phone just now was really sincere, and I couldn't refuse for a while, didn't I?" Lu Yuan smiled indifferently, "It's not important, you read the contract first...... After reading the contract, let's talk about it. ”

"......" Wu Tingting originally thought that she was already nervous enough for Lu Yuan, and no matter what Lu Yuan did, she took it for granted.

But now......

She found herself still shocked.

"Don't look at me with this expression, hurry up and read the contract, I promised James to reply to him early, as an honest and trustworthy person, I can't let him pigeon......" Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting's dumbfounded expression and smiled faintly again and reminded.

It's still ......

So full of pretending to be forced......

“……”

Wu Tingting nodded deeply.

She suppressed the shock in her heart.

Night......

It's getting deeper.

Moonlight shone through the window into the office.

Wu Tingting knew that tonight must be a sleepless night......

Even......

She felt a little unbelievable.

…………………………………………

April's box office battle ushered in a small peak on April 8.

The Hollywood movie "Future You" officially exceeded 10 million at the box office on the same day, and the dark horse of "Explosive Aliens" also continued to hit 7 million excitedly, and the movie returned to its original cost in almost one day.

Director Xu Qifeng excitedly sent tens of thousands of big red envelopes directly to the actors, and he was so happy......

These two movies are not bad, of course, there are also mediocre performances.

While the "Explosive Aliens" team was so excited that they couldn't sleep every day, another movie "Stray Pig" was getting sluggish, and the box office was gradually decreasing every day for eight days after its release, and by the eighth day, his box office had dropped by 500,000, and he was constantly receiving bad reviews on the Internet......

From the bottom of my heart, the quality of the movie "Stray Pig" is not bad, at least compared to the other two "Paradise Lost of Youth", "Flowers of That Year" is much better......

It's a pity that there is a jewel of "The Wanderer" in front, and many preconceived concepts make "The Stray" really have no reason to get a high score in the hearts of fans, "Stray Pig" is not as good as "The Wanderer", and even fans criticize this "Stray Pig" for plagiarizing some parts of "The Wanderer", but not plagiarizing the essence, but there is a feeling that the tiger is not an anti-dog......

In this environment, the film is considered to have exhausted its potential, and the film journey in April is almost over.

As for the two movies "Paradise Lost of Youth" and "Flowers of That Year", ......

Spicy eyes!

The box office is spicy, and the word-of-mouth is also spicy, except for a few bad reviews on the tomato network, this movie doesn't have any sense of existence......

These two movies are like a joke, and on the seventh day of release, the number of films finally reduced to one a day, and it is still the kind that no one watches......

Youth Cinema ......

Hehe, this youth literary film movie......

Is there a market for this movie now?

You might as well come to a movie like "Stray Pigs", at least they are much more popular than you, at least people won't lose money!

And you guys?

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a loss to grandma's family.

Of course, whether it is the outbreak of "Future You" or "Explosive Aliens", it is reasonable and understandable.

Well, that makes sense.

However...... "This Man is from Earth" directly and savagely hit the incredible result of 30 million box office on the eighth day!

Yes!

You read that right!

Million!

One day!

Nima ......

directly threw off the triple box office of "Future You"!

This......

It's a monster, isn't it?

It's just unreasonable!

Is there still a suspense about April's box office winner?

Completely gone!

Of course, this box office explosion is just the beginning!

Within half an hour after the box office data came out, Zhou Shuai's Weibo was updated.

An even more astonishing piece of content broke out on Weibo.

"This Man Is From Earth" is negotiating overseas distribution rights with Paimon.

In other words, the film may ......

It's time to get out of China!

"Boom!"

This news shook everyone like a big earthquake......

Nima!

This......

This is so damn going to be every day!

Wait a minute!

Why did Lu Yuan get involved with Paimon again?

After Chen Jianfeng heard the news, his heart was about to go into arrest in an instant.

He thought it was incredible.

Hasn't Paimon been in contact with them Joaquin all the time?

This news is fake!

Yes, it must be fake, it must be the smoke bomb released by Lu Yuan, the bastard!

After Chen Jianfeng thought about it, he felt more and more impossible.

Oh, yes......

How can it be.
