The time in late September was a bit hurried for Chu Qing.

Chu Qing really wanted to be a salted fish, and he wanted to be as lazy as before, but Chu Qing found that he couldn't be a salted fish.

Sometimes, when I have crossed many realms and has too many things, I am like a slave and have no leisure.

"Sword Heart" is set for October 1, although it doesn't need much publicity, the advance tickets on Huaxia Online have been sold out, and all the news about the release of "Sword Heart" are rumored on the Internet, but Chu Qing needs to prepare a lot of things, basically, after being busy with Huaxia, Chu Qing flew to Hollywood again, and continued to deal with some details of the release of "Sword Heart" in Hollywood......

Huaxia's "Sword Heart" is very optimistic, and the box office will definitely not be too bad, but Hollywood's "Sword Heart" ......

The situation makes people want to cry.

In October, Hollywood released a number of movies, and basically the investment cost of each movie was much higher than that of "Kenshin".

Although Hansen's "Kenshin" did not make big waves in China, it had a great impact in Hollywood......

Of course, this is not a positive term, but a derogatory one.

Hansen's version of "Kenshin" is too profound, and the messy martial arts philosophy in it makes old American fans stunned, often the plot in front and the back are not connected, and then a series of tirades emerge in the middle......

What is this talking about?

It feels like insulting the IQ of a fan.

In short, these fans went from beginning to end, and after the flute, they left the theater stupidly, and then they didn't understand what the movie was about......

What the hell is this?

Well, almost all fans who go into theaters to watch it have this idea in their hearts......

And every audience is happy and full of anticipation before entering the cinema, but after leaving the cinema, their faces change.

They all landed on the movie review website without saying a word, and clicked on the page of "Kenshin" without saying a word, and sprayed "Kenshin" with blood, and after spraying, they seemed to feel a little unhappy, so they clicked on a bad review by the way......

"Kenshin" dropped to the lowest score of 2.1 on the American Movie Network......

It can be said that it is unprecedentedly low.

This must have a bad review, the whole movie is full of incomprehensible philosophies from beginning to end, martial arts action movies, it's good if you fight and kill, who do you show so many philosophies?

We're not spending money to take a philosophy class!

It's sick.

In short, after Hansen's version of "Sword Heart" both cheated at the box office and word of mouth, it directly led to the disappointment of Lao Mei fans in Chu Qing's version of "Sword Heart", and the "Sword Heart" filmed by Director Hansen is finished, you Chu Qing, a cutting-edge director and self-written and directed "Sword Heart", where can you see it?

You don't want to become Amitabha Buddha in the Chinese anti-Japanese drama, who will spend money to buy advance tickets and waste money?

After all, you are not brain-dead......

Fans didn't have any hope for "Kenshin", and then followed the advance ticket sales.

Previously, the advance tickets for "Bloodline of the Night" were sold out in less than a day on the Internet, but the advance tickets for "Kenshin" were listed on the website for five days, and only half of the tickets were sold......

Almost half, what is this concept?

This is a precursor to a cheat!

This made Pete worried, he originally thought that Hansen's version of "Kenshin" had a big impact on him, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact, of course, the impact of this matter was far more than that.

When the theater chain that had cooperated well with Pitt before saw the situation of pre-sale tickets on the Internet, they immediately retreated slightly, and instantly reduced the number of screen blocks filmed by "Kenshin" by half......

Even if "Kenshin", which has been reduced by half, is always full, you can't compete with Hollywood movies of the same period.

Moreover, the Hollywood movies in October can be described as outrageous!

After all, there are still "Dragon Knights 2", "Magic Heroes", and "Thor 2", such blockbusters with a strong reputation and sold out of advance tickets......

Half of the screen blocks given up by "Kenshin" are for these blockbusters.

Pete panicked.

He did sign a contract with those theater chains, but the contract only stipulates the broadcast time and the number of guaranteed screens, but it does not stipulate that the theater chain can take the initiative to remove the number of screens in case of emergencies.

Basically, except for the leading big companies in Hollywood, which are qualified to negotiate terms with theaters, other small companies have no way to negotiate terms with theaters.

After all, theaters also want to make money.

Who does this kind of thing?

What are fools for?

CQ is naturally not a big Hollywood company, not even a small company, and this time it is Chu Qing, an actor who writes and directs it, and there is Hansen's version of "Sword Heart" in front of him, and it is a martial arts movie of the same name......

To sum up, these theaters are even less optimistic at all.

The fact that they were able to leave half of the screen behind them was already a great gift in their eyes!

When Pete saw this, he hurriedly called Chu Qing......

He was a little desperate!

Because of all kinds of signs, he smelled the smell of "Kenshin" hitting the street......

In Huaxia, Chu Qing has an absolute reputation and appeal, and it is impossible to make a fortune on the street, but in Hollywood, this "Sword Heart" seems to be a failure......

Miracles, you say?

There are miracles, but do miracles happen so casually?

………………………………

"Boss, the advance tickets haven't been sold out yet, and they will be released tomorrow, or let's pay for the advance tickets." ”

"If we don't sell out, we don't sell out, it doesn't matter, and even if we buy the rest of the advance tickets, will it help us at the box office?"

"This ...... Boss, I didn't mean that, I meant ...... At least in terms of cinemas......"

"Pete, don't be so nervous, we are making a movie, the quality of a movie is not the final say of the audience who has not seen it, but the audience who has seen it, and besides, the number of screens of my first movie is not half of that of this "Kenshin", and then the box office is not still good? What are you afraid of. Chu Qing faced the panicked Pete, he was quite calm.

"But, boss, this is your first movie in Hollywood, if the box office does not meet expectations or you directly start early, this will have a great impact on your future......"

"What's the big deal, now, we've done everything we need to do, and the rest, don't care...... Oh yes, Pete, there's one thing I'd like to ask you. ”

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"What's in Hollywood lately that is about to go out of business or is not doing well?"

"Uh, boss, why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to buy those theater chains?"

"Well, I do have that idea......"

"Boss, the acquisition of a cinema chain is not cheap, at least hundreds of millions of dollars, even if the theater chain is not well managed, it cannot be too cheap, this ...... And if we don't do well, we will lose money every year, which ...... Boss, calm down. ”

"I have money. Chu Qing looked up at Pete.

"Huh?" Pete opened his mouth, though he didn't know what to say.

The boss said that he had money, what else could he say?

He has money, he can lose, can he not let him lose money?

"Hurry up and prepare, find me some original information in the next few days, and I'll sift through it. ”

"Oh......"

After Pete left Chu Qing's office, Chu Qing silently looked out of the busy window.

At the farthest end is one of Hollywood's most beautiful beaches, which glow golden when the sun sets.

It's really beautiful.

Chu Qing smiled.

Since the theater chain is so powerful, then I will buy the theater chain myself.

Anyway, I still have a lot of spare money now.

Chu Qing closed his eyes.

I'm a tyrant now......

Chu Qing was inexplicably a little proud.

Well, the villain has a will......

………………………………

At the end of September, all the movie promotions were on the list of major theaters, although the number of screens of "Kenshin" has dropped a lot, but the promotion of "Kenshin" has not fallen, which is enough to be compared with "Dragon Knight 2" and "Thor 2......

The promotional video of "Kenshin" is very well done, and when the theater officially promoted it, some netizens became interested after seeing something different in the promotional video......

Because of this, the online advance tickets for "Kenshin" were finally sold out a few days before September 28.

This made Pete breathe a sigh of relief.

Sold out, this avoids the embarrassing scene of empty seats in the cinema on the opening day.

Of course, none of Hollywood's studios value Kenshin.

Even if the advance tickets are sold out, no one thinks that "Kenshin" is a dark horse and will be a hit.

And the things discussed on the Internet are basically "Dragon Warrior Knight 2", either "Thor 2" or "Magic Heroes".

Everyone thinks that box office champions will be produced in these movies.

Even if Chu Qing has made movies such as "Insomnia" and "Machine Demon", which have a good reputation and box office, no one thinks that Chu Qing's self-written and directed movies can be successful!

Don't you see, Hansen has failed, can you, a fledgling new director, succeed?

Isn't that a joke?

Can sows go up trees?

The disapproval on the Internet did not discourage Chu Qing, Chu Qing stayed in the company and still played happily with the computer every day, and the content in the computer was naturally very simple, only League of Legends......

After watching the popularity of other movies on the Internet getting higher and higher day by day, and his "Sword Heart" was still tepid on the Internet, he was really a little anxious, looking at Chu Qing's calm appearance, he instantly remembered a Chinese idiom.

Typical: "The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!"

"Boss ......"

"Did you find the theater I asked you to find?"

"I searched for it, but ...... It's too late to put our movies on these theaters now!"

"I didn't mean that, after all, we signed contracts with other theaters, and we can't find other theaters to broadcast it for the time being......"

"Hmm. ”

"What do you mean, boss. ”

"Show me first, if I see the right thing, I'll talk to these theater owners about the acquisition. ”

"Oh, boss, it doesn't seem like we're the time to pay attention to these now, what we want to focus on now is the release of "Kenshin"!"

"We have done everything that needs to be done, we just have a clear conscience, and when the premiere ends tomorrow, won't we know the box office?"

"This ......" Pete watched Chu Qing playing League of Legends, and was obviously a little absent-minded and suddenly speechless!

Is the boss really planning to buy these broken theater chains?

What if the acquired cinema chain loses money?

That's really ......

No, it's not about buying theaters, it's about thinking about the premiere of "Kenshin", right?

But what do I do?

But no matter how worried Pete is and how anxious he is, nothing can change anything.

After all, "Kenshin" is about to officially start being released......

October 1st, unexpectedly arrived......
