Just when fans in China were pessimistic about the prospects of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in the Star Flag Country.

In the Star Flag Country, the news that Peng Yichen's movie is about to be released has not been reported at all.

In addition to Hua Na, the six major Hollywood film companies are now watching the performance of Peng Yichen's films in the North American film market.

They wouldn't help the young man in any way, and certainly weren't interested in putting any more obstacles in his way for the time being.

Except for Edward, the head of the Asia-Pacific region of Columbia, no one wants to have more conflicts with this "billion director" in China, after all, their co-production plan with Huaxia is about to begin.

Hollywood's bigwigs don't want to be hated by a director and film company boss who is currently the most influential in the Chinese film market at this time.

Everything is a business, and making money is the most important thing.

Even the Chinese community in the Star Flag Country now mostly don't know the news that "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" will be released in the Star Flag Country.

This makes the prospect of this film in the Star Flag Country even more confusing.

In the midst of a pessimistic voice, Peng Yichen has already led the publicity and distribution team sent by his company to connect with Legendary Pictures through Robinov.

On the afternoon of the second day after they arrived in Star Flag Country, he was at the headquarters of Hua Na Film Company in Los Angeles, and together with Robinoff, he opened an online video conference to negotiate the North American distribution of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" with the executives of Legendary Pictures, who are not headquartered in Los Angeles.

Although it was only a small release, Peng Yichen was a little excited, after all, this was the first time his film was officially released in North America, and his previous films had not even been released in the Japanese and Korean markets.

Before starting the video conference, Peng Yichen saw Robinov with his eyes closed, holding a cross in his hand and reading something softly, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

"Every time I release a movie by hand, I pray for them. I'm praying for the smooth release of "Double Treasure Demon Fight". Robinov spoke with a hint of reverence on his face.

When he had finished his prayer, he placed the cross back on his chest.

Peng Yichen saw that he finished praying, and then smiled: "You care so much about our movie." ”

Robinov looked at Peng Yichen and said very seriously:

"Director Peng, I know that we are not from the same country, but our love for movies is the same. I'm a businessman, but I'm also a person who has loved movies since I was a child.

Since the day this art appeared, countless people have been fascinated by him, and even changed their lives by him. I don't want movies to be controlled by money one day.

I don't know why you've been able to make so many different and wonderful films. But I know that you have this ability to make people fall for your movies.

This "Double Treasure Fighting Demon" is an anti-genre movie that I have never seen before, and it is also a movie that can make the world a little better.

So, I'm going to pray for it, do you understand?"

"Have you seen all my movies?" Peng Yichen said in surprise.

He could tell that Robinov was telling the truth, but it was because of this that he was extremely surprised.

It's not that he doesn't believe that Hollywood also has people who are obsessed with movie dreams, but how can an old fritter who has been standing in the center of film power like Hua Na for less than ten years still retain such pure ideals.

"Director Peng, you don't believe me, do you?

You don't have to believe me, you just need to believe your own movie. As long as your movies are always so good, then I will always support you.

It's true that I'm a profit-seeking businessman, but I also know deeply that if there were no good movies, the whole industry that I made a living from would disappear. So, my support is your movie, not you. If one day, your film isn't good enough, then you'll immediately lose my pursuit. ”

Robinov instantly understood Peng Yichen's thoughts, he smiled and finished saying this to Peng Yichen, and then connected to Legendary Pictures, without giving Peng Yichen a chance to ask again.

Link to the signal of the web conference, and this time they are connected by Denzel, the distribution director of Legendary Pictures.

This is a very capable, mature black man who looks young, as if he is only in his 20s, but his actual age is 37 years old.

He has been responsible for the distribution of thirteen films of Legendary Pictures, all of which are low-budget B-grade films, and mainly horror films, so he is very experienced in this type of film distribution.

"Mr. Peng Yichen, I am your movie fan, all your previous movies have been very wonderful, especially the "Beautiful Life", which reminds me of the great director Martin Scorsese.

I hope that we can have a good time working together during the release of this film. ”

As soon as Denzel appeared on the screen, he said to Peng Yichen with a smile.

Peng Yichen can see that Denzel said that he likes his movies, not a polite sentence, he has really seen all his movies.

He glanced at Robinov, and Robinov smiled lightly: "It seems that the two of us are both your fans." At the very least, now you have a little bit of an audience base in North America. ”

Peng Yichen smiled, and now he kind of believes that the company Legendary Pictures is the best person he can work with in Hollywood.

Robinov spoke first through the microphone: "Denzel, don't be excited, your idol Director Peng will often deal with you in the future." Let's get straight to the point, do you have any preliminary plans for the release of "Double Treasure Demon Fight" in North America? ”

Denzel is a very professional distribution manager after all, he suppressed his excitement to see Peng Yichen, and said in a calm tone: "Robin, I think the quality of the movie "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" is very high, and it is the most surprising and connotative of all the horror movies I have seen.

That's why we at Legendary Pictures plan to rent 500 screens for nationwide screenings before the Oscars.

It is conservatively estimated that at this stage, we will be able to recover about 15 million box office, so that the cost of the film will basically be recovered.

Subsequently, when Director Peng's "Life is Beautiful" won an award at the Oscars, we began to release it on a large scale and carry out large-scale publicity around the Oscar award.

Of course, as much as I love Life is Beautiful, the Oscars are unpredictable. If the film doesn't win any awards. We can hype up topics like the shady Oscar awards, which can also stimulate box office growth......"

This is the distribution plan of Legendary Pictures, Peng Yichen muttered a little in his heart.
