If Los Angeles is the jewel of the West Coast of the United States, then Hollywood is the brightest part of that pearl.

Seventy years later, and now.

It's just that Yang Qiu is in a hurry to experience the style of Hollywood in the 50s, so he glanced at the newly renovated 'Hollyood' sign in the middle of the mountain, and threw himself into the intense work.

Twentieth Century Fox's approach cannot be said to be crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, after all, they also agreed to the release of "Home Alone".

It's just that at this time, Yang Qiu is difficult to accept.

The Christmas family movie is not released on Christmas, and the atmosphere is not suitable, not to mention, Yang Qiu is a little distressed by the loss of money.

Another distribution company that Mr. Frostas introduced is called Luen Mei Pictures.

The company became less well-known in later generations because it was bought by MGM in the 80s. But before the fifties, Luen Mei was also one of Hollywood's eight major film companies.

But it's also the weakest one in it.

In fact, the original intention of the birth of United States was founded by some famous filmmakers to fight against those film trusts.

For example, the four major shareholders of United States, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Bikfu, Douglas Van Punk and David Griffith, are all outstanding talents in the independent film industry, either directing or acting.

When they first founded United States, they only intended to distribute their own films.

But because of the influence of these people, Wall Street's funds followed suit, and Luen Mei grew rapidly, once controlling more than 300 theaters in North America.

Obviously, with so many theaters, the annual output of these four people alone is not enough.

But because Luen Mei has never had its own studio, and several main creators resolutely don't want to let themselves become the next trust, Luen Mei has always had very little production in its own production.

As a result, Luen Mei's business tends to be more of an agent for the distribution of independently produced films.

If you explain it more intuitively, the Xiangjiang Film Company, which is most similar to Luen Mei, is the Golden Princess Cinema Line that supports the development of New Arts City, or the Golden Harvest of later generations is barely the same.

To put it more simply, it is actually the early satellite company model.

In the period when Luen Mei was first founded, it achieved a series of major successes with the great reputation of the four main creators, but as the world changed over the past 30 years, it seemed that Luen Mei had also reached a dull moment.

Mary Bickf and Douglas Van Punk have retired from United States due to their age, and David Griffith, a great director, has passed away.

Chaplin, the only one who remained in the United States, is also selling his shares in the United States because of the current situation in the United States.

There were no sets, no stars, and it happened to be in the depression of the American film industry.

Now Luen Mei is more like an elephant suffering from cancer, although it looks huge on the outside, it may have venom on the inside.

Of course, for Yang Qiu, an ant, no matter how sick an elephant is, it is also an elephant.

He couldn't eat the beast yet.

However, it is also a very good thing to be able to nourish his newly sprouted little seedling with the carrion that the giant beast has dropped.

As for United States, which is in domestic and foreign difficulties, it is logical that it did not produce its own films this Christmas, and represented some films of other independent companies.

On the morning of the next day when Yang Qiu arrived in Los Angeles, he was introduced by Frostas to meet the company's president, Mr. Mike Adu, at the Hollywood United States Company.

During this period, the two sides had a friendly and cordial conversation, Mr. Mike welcomed Yang Qiu's visit, and by the way, introduced the distribution of the film, and finally in the case of mutual friendship and joint promotion, the two sides basically successfully concluded the talks.

Everyone was happy.

Well, in a nutshell, Yang Qiu got the Christmas distribution rights of thirty theaters in the United States.

As for the other more than 250 theaters in the United States, they were given a movie called "African Queen".

There's no way, people are all-stars!

The director of "African Queen" is Oscar winner John Houston, the actor is Humphrey Bogart, who has been nominated for an Oscar, and the actress is even more powerful, Katharine Hepburn, who won the award.

As mentioned earlier, a foreigner plays the Chinese movie "Dragon Species", and the heroine is this Katharine Hepburn.

It can be said that Katharine Hepburn is a real goddess at this time.

However, at the internal test meeting of United States, a group of theater managers were not very optimistic about this film, because they felt that the director made the male protagonist old and the female protagonist ugly, so they were very afraid that the box office would not be good.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the Christmas box office, they also need to find a film to come to the palace.

Then Yang Qiu's "Home Alone" entered the sight of Lianmei.

Originally, the foreigners who watched the test screening at the beginning were dismissive of this film.

What good movies can Asians make?

That is, the recent neon movie, which can still be a little bit watching.

But as "Home Alone" played all the way, they followed the original Frostas.

All of them were full of amazement!

Wow!

How can it be!

How could an Asian make such a commercial film!

Isn't this a dream?!

Look!

This picture!

This character!

And the story of this stream!

And this is also a warm family movie, which almost meets all the requirements of theater operators.

It's just – incredible!

Forehead...... Except that the actors are basically Chinese.

So excluding the above 'failures', everyone present who participated in the test film was full of praise for "Home Alone".

Just the last......

A failure is a failure.

These people are worried about the attraction of Chinese films, and the importance of the local all-star lineup, the majority of the theater chain is still given to "African Queen".

In this regard, Yang Qiu is still quite satisfied.

At least these thirty are all more formal movie theaters in the United States, not like other Chinese film distribution companies, where to find seven or eight open-air old theaters in the community for you.

After discussing these matters, Yang Qiu left Zou Dingxin with 20,000 US dollars in activity funds, and hurriedly returned to Xiangjiang.

There's a lot of stuff waiting for him here.

The Xiangjiang promotion of "Home Alone" is also about to take action!

The four-day trip to the United States did not leave any image for Yang Qiu, as if most of the time was spent either in the car or on the plane.

He was a little distracted.

This morning, Yang Qiu drove Xia Meng to the Huada studio for the filming of "Rouge Buckle", but when the car just walked near Shi Kip Wei, it suddenly stopped.

Yang Qiu and Xia Meng sat in the car, looking at the four or five military trucks in front of them, as well as a dozen or so motorcycles, carrying nearly 100 foreign devil soldiers, and roared all the way to the north.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

When the two of them rushed to the set and were ready to start, Zhang Shankun, who had a gloomy face, finally brought a shocking news.

One or two hundred workers in Yonghua went on strike on the set this morning.
