Although the old American man Richard Fox wrote in the email is awe-inspiring, he has long made up his mind to buy the distribution rights of "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" in the European, American and Australian markets.

Movies, no matter how lofty they are, are just a business in the final analysis.

Just like the old Chinese saying: the world is bustling, and everything is profitable. The world is crowded, all for profit!

"No matter how much China protects domestic films, it doesn't need Hollywood blockbusters to attract audiences and fill their empty movie theaters. If it weren't for Avatar and a series of Hollywood blockbusters to nurture the market, their film industry wouldn't have risen when!"

After sending the email, Fox slandered in his heart, and immediately said to himself, "Hollywood blockbusters cannot completely occupy the Chinese market, and only one "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" will not let Chinese films enter the mainstream theaters in Europe and the United States, this is just a single film business!"

The old man sighed with emotion, and then washed up and went to sleep. Early the next morning, I brought my Chinese assistant, Pan Xiao, the head of Warner's office in China, to Longlin Pictures.

As a result, he met a vice president from MGM's headquarters and Rao Taofang, general manager of MGM Pictures in Pengcheng City.

While Fox was glad that he had only one rival, he went to the conference room to see the head of Columbia's Asian division, and the infamous Harvey Weinstein of the Weinstein Company.

Harvey is one of the more special bigwigs in Hollywood, he has a unique vision, and has produced and released many excellent films, such as "Shakespeare in Love", "Chicago", "Vulgar", "Kill Bill", "Shaolin Football" and "Heroes".

His films as producer and executive producer have been nominated for 22 Oscars, six of which have been won. The films he participated in the production and distribution have been nominated for more than 300 Oscars and won more than 70 statuettes.

However, I often walk by the river, and I don't have wet shoes. The bigwig was sexually harassed at least eight actresses in a few decades by an article published by the New York Times in 2017. Among them were "Little Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, and everyone shouted for a while, and many honors were taken back.

Although it hasn't been in that situation now, how can Fox not hear about what Harvey is doing in the circle.

"Oh, look, even Warner Bros. Fox is here, it's unbelievable!" Harvey got up and shook hands.

Fox stretched out his hand and said: "I was surprised, with your personality, dating a female star should attract you more than coming to China!"

Harvey said, "Hey, old thing, it's not a good habit to slander other people's reputations!"

Fox laughed: "You Harvey are still afraid of slander, and the peachy jokes about you are spread everywhere in Hollywood!"

Harvey laughed, "In Hollywood, everyone is selling their bodies and souls for fame and fortune, I don't believe you old thing, you haven't done anything out of the ordinary!"

Richard Fox's face was embarrassed, and he could only admit that he was not as thick-skinned as this guy, so he left stupidly after saying a few words, and found a chair to sit down.

The "unspoken rules" can be called "audition sofas" in Hollywood. According to what Mr. Xiaosong said in "Xiao Shuo", when many young actors meet the director or producer, the other party will say a word, thirty seconds, give me a reason to use you.

Thirty seconds, what reason can there be! Either you lie down on the "audition couch" by yourself, or you go out and turn right, and no one forces you. Nine times out of ten, Harvey thinks and does so, but the evening is not guaranteed.

Hollywood studios are all here, and on the Chinese side, Song Ge of Longlin Pictures, Yu Dong and Huang Minfang of Bona, and Wang Changtian and Li Xiaoping are glamorous.

Chinese films go abroad and then sell at the global box office, which is something that many domestic filmmakers have been thinking about all their lives, but they just think about it!

Now there are three of the six Hollywood majors, and Harvey, who is known as the "first promoter of the Oscars", which makes the hearts of Song Ge, Yu Dong and others extremely excited.

After all, when the project was first established, the viewing tastes of European and American audiences were not considered at all, and I did not have much hope for the release of the film in Europe and the United States. This will suddenly be favored by the "Hollywood Big Six", and Yu Dong and others are still a little unaccustomed.

As the landlord, Song Ge took the lead in speaking, read the names and positions of several people opposite, and said some words of thanks before saying: "I wonder if a few people have watched the movie "Houyi Shooting the Sun"?"

Harvey grinned: "I really haven't seen it, but the people below the company highly recommend it to me." To be honest, you China haven't produced a decent film for many years. Back then, I bought the distribution rights of "Wu Ji" in North America, but the film was so bad that I had to terminate the contract, otherwise it would have cost me a lot!"

Richard Fox's face was extremely ugly when he heard this, because after Harvey terminated his contract with the producer of "Wu Ji", it was Warner who took over the distribution rights in North America, which was released in 213 theaters and grossed only $270,000. Harvey is mentioning this now, isn't this a slap in the face?

However, director Kai Ge is also a famous director in China, and Song Ge and Yu Dong are not good at expressing any opinions on this matter, but Wang Changtian smiled and said: "Then I don't know if you have seen it?" asked Fox and other film executives who flew from the United States.

As a result, these people shook their heads without exception and said that they hadn't seen it, but it was strongly recommended by the people below, saying how well your box office is selling here, let's come and take a look. If the film is still successful, it is not a dream to buy out at a low price!

Song Ge secretly sneered when he heard this, and said in his heart: "These gringos, it's really hypocritical enough, I don't believe you haven't seen it in advance!" but invited them to go to the small screening room of Longlin Pictures and watched "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" again.

During this movie-watching, several Hollywood film industry bigwigs behaved very indifferently, well, it's okay to be so-so, barely able to catch up with the level of Hollywood special effects blockbusters, and if you take it for distribution, you can still sell some tickets.

Yu Dong was a little bluffed in his heart, because Bo Na has tried to cooperate with the "Hollywood Six" over the years, and today's reply is much better than before!

"These foreign devils, let's pretend!" Yu Dong said to Wang Changtian in front of the washstand.

The eldest king smiled, "Absolutely, I look at a few of them, talking to each other, their eyes are full of gunpowder, just said that, just to reduce the price, and then there will definitely be a fight." ”

After returning to the conference room, everyone sat down and discussed the distribution rights of "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" in Europe, America and Australia. Song Ge spoke on behalf of the producer: We want 40% of the box office!"

Fox, Harvey and several others exclaimed, 40%, what are you kidding?
