After the test screening of "Liu Changqing" in New York theaters, the hot response of ordinary fans and the bland silence of the media suddenly made the atmosphere quite weird.

The audience applauded, but the media remained silent.

There's an insider!

However, some well-informed people still analyzed and came up with a result through certain relationship channels and the reaction to the audience.

That is, "Liu Changqing" is indeed a good movie, but why the media has a mediocre response, there is only one possibility, the movie is a good movie, but the media just don't want to see it.

Barber did not take this to heart, and at the same time methodically took the opportunity to expand the publicity.

As long as the media does not help, for him, there will be no problems.

As for whether it can be praised by the media, it will become secondary.

Now he wants to take the opportunity to expand the word-of-mouth effect of "Liu Changqing", and through the praise of fans after the test screening, he will detonate the box office results of the large-scale release a week later.

Dimei.

Harrison was in his office watching the entertainment news about "Liu Changqing" on the Internet.

Overnight, countless posts and news about the hot screening of "Liu Changqing" suddenly appeared on several web portals in the United States, which made this Chinese movie more and more popular, coupled with the praise of fans, this Chinese movie, which was not outstanding, has become a key blockbuster in this year's Christmas schedule.

"What an idiot this Corkley is!"

Harrison cursed in his heart, slapped the mouse unhappily, and then leaned back in his chair and looked out the window.

Now Corkley is actually the news behind the "Liu Changqing" incident, which is already a well-known secret to Hollywood.

It's just that his reckless move this time made Hollywood quite passive.

If he succeeded, it would be fine, but now he not only did not succeed, but was caught by the Huaxia government, if it weren't for Hollywood to pay a certain price to resolve the anger of the Huaxia government, God knows if the group of crazy people from the Huaxia Ministry of Commerce would have restricted Hollywood movies from entering China again.

500 theaters!!

Harrison muttered silently, this is the price paid by Hollywood.

And he also knows that in order to calm the grievances in the heart of Oriental DreamWorks, it is estimated that Yang Ming's "Fast and Furious" released in the United States Film Market next year will also enjoy such treatment.

In this regard, he hated it in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Who called Corkley that idiot, who did things so carelessly, actually provoked the national sentiment of the Chinese people, if it weren't for this, Hollywood would not be so passive at all.

Even the official management body of the film industry in the United States is not easy to come forward.

Corkley did it this time.

It's just an excuse to get into the hands of others.

"Hmph, what a self-inflicted one!" a disdainful sneer appeared on Harrison's face.

Corkley's failed revenge this time not only lost fame and fortune, but also gave the other party a big gift.

Next year, Pan American Entertainment vowed to compete with Yang Ming in "Best Drift", which had already lost at the starting line before it was released.

With Yang Ming's popularity in the United States, the number of theaters released by "Fast and Furious" will definitely not be less than 2,500, and now because of the unfavorable factors of Cokeley, 500 theaters will be given away for nothing, and when the other party's blockbuster movie is released, the theaters will definitely exceed 3,000, and even exceed a lot.

After all, Yang Ming's appeal in the rice film market definitely does not belong to any big-name Hollywood director.

This guy is simply a genius, he makes Chinese-language movies, but he can always suppress local Hollywood blockbusters, I have to say that this genius does have good strength.

Even Dimei Pictures has suffered a lot at the hands of this guy.

Even now, whenever Harrison thinks about the copyright of "Superman", he still feels a faint pain in his heart.

What a pity!

Thinking of this, Harrison's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, Oriental DreamWorks is growing so fast, maybe it won't be long before it will have an impact on Hollywood's old interest pattern, especially the relationship between the other party's Chinese-funded background, Hollywood can't suppress the other party openly.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Commerce in China is not a vegetarian.

Especially as the world's major powers pay more and more attention to the influence of film culture, the Chinese government will never allow anyone to play tricks against their own cultural industry.

Harrison saw this better than anyone else.

Because he is also a beneficiary.

Dimei Pictures has cooperated with the United States official to shoot some films, and the cooperation with the military is extremely frequent, so it is natural to know that the cultural industry is currently occupying an increasingly important influence in national propaganda.

In fact, this is another kind of war without gunpowder in peacetime.

If "Liu Changqing" is a huge success at the box office now, then the influence of Oriental DreamWorks is bound to be even stronger.

We can't continue to allow this company to grow unbridled like this.

Harrison showed a determined look in his eyes, but he couldn't be in a hurry to deal with the matter of Oriental DreamWorks, otherwise he would be like Corkley, forget if he failed, and he would be caught by others.

Huaxia officials are not vegetarians.

It seems necessary to connect with the rest of Hollywood, it seems that they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Harrison thought to himself.

CAA！

"Hey, Cockley messed things up this time. Wayne sighed.

Edgar showed a hint of anger when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's not just a smash, I guess he is simply an undercover agent sent by Oriental DreamWorks, and this time he lost a lot!"

When Wayne saw Edgar so angry, he naturally knew why this was the case.

"Speed Drift" is now a production led by Edgar, whether it is the selection of crew members or the investment of funds, the other party has spent a lot of effort, even if the company has also given a strong boost.

But now for the sake of Corkley, Edgar's efforts, although not to say that they have come to naught, are definitely not as big as before.

The allocation of 500 theaters!

Wayne sighed helplessly in his heart when he thought of the condition that the other party always insisted on and gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

This time, in order to appease the anger of the Chinese side, Hollywood has spent a lot of money, since it includes the arrangement of two 500 theater schedules.

One is "Liu Changqing", which will be released in seven days, and the other is "Fast and Furious", which will be released next year.

This time Oriental DreamWorks made a lot of money.

"Would you like to consider choosing to switch gears?" Wayne asked, looking at Edgar.

Ed took a heavy puff of his cigarette, then shook his head, and said helplessly, "Can't change it!"

"It's not that you don't know Renard's character, I mentioned this to him a little, and he immediately expressed his firm opposition, if it is not released on the same schedule as Yang Ming's racing movie, then he told me that this movie can be taken over by other directors. ”

After saying that, Edgar sighed as well.

Renard now wants to prove that he wants to go crazy, especially recently some media have turned over the old accounts on last year's Oscars, thinking that Renard is not as good as Yang Ming.

As a result, this top Hollywood director has a fire in his stomach, and directors of this level have a very light view of money, and the important thing is reputation.

He is considered to be Hollywood's top commercial director, and has made several successful directors who have set box office records, and last year's Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture was a failure, and he didn't even get a nomination, which didn't make him feel angry about the award-winning Yang Ming.

It is estimated that if it were Edgar himself, he would definitely not be reconciled.

It's just that now Edgar thinks about those 500 theaters, and he feels a pain in the egg.

Originally, he was full of confidence that "Speed Drift" would defeat the opponent's "Fast and Furious" in the United States film market, after all, the United States is their home field.

But now that there are 500 theaters, it's a bit of a bad story.

At that time, the number of screenings of the other party's movie theaters will definitely not be less than 3,000, and there is no doubt about this number, it will only be more, not less.

So even if CAA is powerful and powerful, the screening theaters of "Speed Drift" are only 3,000 at best.

If the situation is not right, the number of theaters may be reduced.

How could this reassure Edgar?

After all, Yang Ming's box office appeal in the rice film market seems to be no less than Renard.

Especially in the minds of young people in the United States, this Chinese genius has an absolute advantage over Renard.

"Damn, it's all Corkley's idiot!"

At this time, Edgar was unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but curse again.

Wayne nodded approvingly.

Pan American Pictures.

In the past few days, Pan American Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants, has an extremely heavy atmosphere.

The boss Corkeley's mood doesn't seem to be quite right, and he often gets angry, and many people in the company have been reprimanded and can't hold their heads up.

In particular, those talents who were valued by Mr. Barber, the former general manager, have repeatedly become a window for Corkley to vent.

"I can't do this job anymore, and I don't know if I'm going to give a gun to a fool if I continue to do it. ”

A mid-level man who had been reprimanded by Cockley repeatedly said to the other two in the smoking room.

"Hey, who says it's not, the idiot doesn't know what medicine he's taken these days, and he's so angry?"

Another staff member said aggrievedly while smoking.

"I know a little bit of news about this, I heard that this time the fool wanted to target Mr. Bobble, but I didn't expect to be caught by others, and it took a lot of money to make this matter clear, and it was a big loss!"

The third staff member looked around, then whispered.

The first person showed a hint of disdain when he heard this, and said, "It's just a fool who wants to deal with Mr. Bobble, it's just a matter of not knowing the sky!"

His words were met with nods of agreement from the other two.

This fact is also the consensus of all the people under Pan American Entertainment.

The first man puffed out a puff of cigarette, as if he had made a decision, and said fiercely: "I'm going to resign, I'm not going to stay here, I'm going to be on Mr. Bobber's side." ”

"No, you're going to leave too?"

The other two looked surprised when they heard their colleague's words.

"If you leave again, I guess your department will collapse completely. ”

Barber resigned from Pan American Entertainment and took office at Oriental DreamWorks, but he did not take the initiative to poach people from his old club.

But because of him, some people who were not treated well by Corkley still resolutely chose to resign and follow Mr. Bobble,

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

The Chinese understand this truth, and the people of the United States naturally understand it.

Especially after Barber resigned from Pan American Entertainment, the company's business deteriorated and its efficiency declined rapidly, and many people felt that they had no future and left one after another, some chose to go to Oriental DreamWorks to continue to follow Bobble, and some chose to find another career and went to other film companies.

"I heard from the finance department that the company has suffered a serious loss this year, and if it continues like this next year, it may affect the company's development. The second person also revealed a piece of news.

"Won't it?"

"How is that possible!"

When the other two heard this, they both looked incredulous.

You must know that Pan Am Entertainment is one of the six giants of Hollywood, with dozens of movies released every year, and the company's market value is nearly 10 billion yuan.

Besides, when Barber left the company, the company's cash flow was very abundant at that time, how could there be problems?

"I heard that Corkley has dug too many pits this year, and they are all big pits! And as soon as Barber left the company, the idiot paid dividends to the shareholders, and almost didn't drain the company's cash, and now the company's funds for filming movies are basically financed by bank loans. The second man said slowly.

"Damn idiot!"

"Greedy Judas!"

Both of them scolded when they heard this.

But after all, they were just company employees, and they couldn't stop Corkley, and they couldn't do anything.

After all, Corkley is the majority shareholder of the company.

"I've decided, I'm going to submit my resignation letter now, I don't want to see this idiot again for a moment. The first clerk said flatly, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and walked out of the smoking room.

Soon after, Pan Am's employees close to the president's office heard a hearty laugh from the president's office:

"Goodbye, idiot, go home and eat your ****. ”

“88！”

Then, the employee who had just said that he was going to resign in the smoking room walked out of the office with a dashing face.

When many employees saw this scene, they secretly gave him a thumbs up.

- Bang bang.

There was a sound of smashing things coming from the president's office, and it was clear that Corkley was venting his anger again.

All employees keep their heads down and do things carefully to avoid being affected.

The Lion City.

Yang Ming, who had just finished filming the film and chased the big scene, gave all the crew members two days off to take a good rest.

Especially Xiong Zhuang, since he joined the crew, he basically has no more than six hours of rest every day, either thinking about the script, or looking for the teacher Yang Ming found for him to give him a lecture.

So, he let the crew rest for two days.

But instead of resting, he received an assessment team that had been waiting for him for two days.

"Mr. Yang, this is some of the investigations and analyses we have done recently, take a look!" A man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked like an elite, took out a thick stack of documents and handed them to Yang Ming.

"Hmm!"

Yang Ming nodded, took the document, and looked at it.

He looked down and saw that there was a line of words on the document: Market analysis of domestic film and television cultural bases.

Domestic film and television cultural bases began to develop in the fifties of the last century, and so far, there are more than 100 film and television bases in operation across the country, of which more than 30 have invested more than 100 million yuan.

However, 80% of the film and television bases currently operating in the market are in a state of loss, 15% can maintain breakeven, and only 5% can make a profit.
