Due to the time difference, although Lu Lin and his party flew for 12 hours, they arrived in Los Angeles at 11 noon local time on the 5th. The issue of food and accommodation is still arranged by the old partner Warners.

Warner has lived a mediocre past two years, and its performance has always been in the middle among the six major Hollywood companies, neither good nor bad. Although there are no popular series like "Avengers" and "Star Wars", with the advantage of a large number of releases, they have not fallen to the bottom like Sony and Paramount.

Speaking of 2015, it is also a year of relative decline for Warner, and the top ten films released at the North American box office are only one "Three-Body Problem". The top ten at the global box office is still "The Three-Body Problem".

In other words, if they don't cooperate with Longlin Pictures, the films produced and distributed will not even be in the top ten at the box office, but they are still the top six in Hollywood, which is also a very amazing thing.

Therefore, Longlin Pictures is becoming more and more important to Warner today. As for the criticism made by certain Hollywood media outlets, what kind of "beauty traitors," "luring wolves into the house," and "no discipline"? Warner's executives have always turned a deaf ear.

No matter how low our discipline is, it's still a little bit higher than the Wall Street gang. It's a little higher than their gang of penmen who take whom's money to speak for whom, and Richard DeFox and others comfort themselves with this.

It was still his old friend Fox who came to greet him. As for the president of Warner, he said that he was on a temporary business trip, but he was actually in Hollywood, but he was a little self-conscious and felt faceless. In fact, except for the refusal to come to pick up the airport, the rest of the activities are mostly to be accompanied.

After Lu Lin and his party stayed in the hotel, how many hours did they rest, Fox came over to invite afternoon tea, Jing Yan was bored, and stayed in the room to play with his mobile phone. Lu Lin walked slowly with Fox at the hotel's fitness facility, occasionally glancing at a passing big-breasted foreign woman.

"Lu, the schedule of December 11th is not good, you really should be earlier!" the old man was the first to speak.

Lu Lin smiled, knowing why he said that. After all, his films are basically released globally at the same time, not only to watch the same domestic films, but also to look at them internationally, especially Hollywood.

In fact, in the North American market in December 2015, there were not many competitive films, and the most awesome was "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". It was released on December 18, only a week away from "The Battle of the Deer". $120 million on the first day of release and $238 million in the first three days of the opening weekend.

Converted into RMB, it is more than 800 million in a single day and 1.6 billion in three days. Lu Lin's special effects blockbusters are invincible at the domestic box office, but they can compare with the performance of Hollywood blockbusters in the North American market, that is, "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." ”

But Lu Lin's idea is that China is his basic plate, and his performance on weekdays is also based on domestic and does not please foreign audiences. If you are afraid of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and raise the file, so that North America will watch the movie earlier than in China, the character design will collapse.

Moreover, North America is still the world's largest film market, and the domestic side is gradually able to accommodate two blockbusters to be released on the same schedule, even if it will be affected by "Star Wars", it may not be much.

"Fox, you know, I can't let the audience in Chinese mainland see this movie later than North America!" Lu Lin explained with a smile.

Fox was helpless and complained: "This is just a commercial behavior, I really don't know why the audience in your country always likes to interpret a simple commercial behavior with such a strange meaning!"

Lu Lin laughed, "Maybe it's because we did too much reading comprehension when we were in school!"

"Okay, I'll try to understand some!" Fox loosened the tie around his neck and tried to lift a barbell. Don't look at this old guy's hair has turned a lot gray, he still has some strength.

"Hey, do you want to try it, maybe a pretty girl will notice you and ask you out for something!"

Lu Lin smiled, "I don't have to make myself covered in stinky sweat, I can still do this, hey, let's talk about some good news!"

"The good news is that the opening theaters of "The Battle of the Deer" will be more than 4,000. As long as the quality of the film is okay, the top ten box office of an year should be indispensable!"

"You've also seen the movie, don't you think it's bad?" Lu Lin asked rhetorically.

Fox said: "In my eyes, it is still above the level, no worse than "Thor" and "Avengers". But the audience is sometimes very confused, and sometimes it is difficult to figure out. The 'luck' dispute between the Terrans and the Witches, we Yankees, may not be able to understand it!"

Lu Lin thought about it and felt that it was better not to correct the word "luck". After thinking about it, he said: ""Transformers 4" was scolded very badly!"

Seeing that the old guy nodded, he smiled and said, "What about the global box office?"

The old man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. In fact, the North American box office of "Transformers 4" is very average, and it is not as high as the box office in the mainland. But the global segment is very good, more than $1 billion, which has brought a lot of benefits to Paramount.

Warner is not only responsible for the North American distribution of "The Battle of the Deer", but also for the distribution of Japan, South Korea, and other places in Southeast Asia. The current Warner production capacity is not as good as before, that is, the remaining distribution network is still more awesome. If one day they can't get along and want to sell their shares, they can really consider buying some shares.

In addition to "Star Wars", there is no need to worry about other films at all, but those low-budget Hollywood films that were released on the same day as "The Battle of the Deer" are worried about being squeezed by the film schedule, and they scold Warner.

On December 6th, the North American premiere of "The Battle of the Deer" was held, and many international students and Chinese Americans, as well as some local fans in the United States, came to the scene. If you do the math, it's about seven to three.

In terms of celebrities, "Dousen" and Gai Erjiaduo, who have cooperated with Lu Lin, have come to congratulate. After all, the Chinese-speaking market is becoming more and more important to Hollywood. The six major film companies all have the intention of "currying favor" with the Chinese market, and these artists have a good relationship with Longlin Pictures, and they often make cameos in two films, gaining some popularity in the mainland, which is also very beneficial to their development in Hollywood.

These two are both "leg spirits", and it is said that Jing Yan is also quite tall, but standing with these two, it seems that he feels a little worse.

Harvey Weinstein, an old regular, didn't come this time, and I don't know if the old guy went to pick up girls.

On the media side, I am also a frequent visitor to deal with it. They all write articles based on the direction of the wind, and sometimes criticize Warner for "luring wolves into the room", complaining about some small details in Lu Lin's films, and showing off the superiority of the Yankees.

But when "The Three-Body Problem" was released, these guys were able to sing praises and praise without hesitation, which is also strange and interesting!
