The popularity of the movie will not only make film critics and audiences boil, but other film companies will also pounce on them like wolves smelling meat. After all, the film festival, to put it nicely, is for the competition of art, and to put it vulgarly, it is a film exhibition, and the distributor took a fancy to it, so he paid for the copyright to distribute it in his own country.

No, soon film companies from some European countries also came to the door, wanting to obtain the distribution rights of "Enter the Dragon" in their own countries. For these people, Walter handed them all over to Mike to negotiate, Bowei Film Distribution Company has rich experience in overseas cooperative distribution, knows how to choose partners, how to operate, and can obtain greater practical benefits.

In the guest room, as time passed, the three people who met smiled, and it was clear that another cooperation had been negotiated.

"Well, I agree to this condition, congratulations, Mr. Brooke, and I wish us a happy cooperation. After exchanging glances with Mike, Walter stood up and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"It's a pleasure to work with, it's great to get the distribution rights to this film, and I can't wait to see the British people get back to the blues craze. The middle-aged man stood up, smiled and shook Walter's hand, quite gentlemanly, although the words were very excited, but did not give people any discomfort.

The middle-aged man's name was Hal Brooke, one of the directors of the British Tuknan Film Company at the Venice Film Festival, and he had a typical British personality, arrogant and conservative, and said self-righteous humorous words.

"Again?" Vought repeated, asking in confusion, "Is Bruce popular in England?"

"Hmm...... He is still somewhat well-known, of course, compared to him, the British people pay more attention to his 'Chinese kung fu', "Jingwumen" and "Tangshan Brother" are all the same. We British people still have great admiration for the mysterious oriental culture!" Brooke thought for a moment, and said with confidence in his tone.

Seeing this, Walter just responded and said: "Indeed, Britain once knocked on the mysterious door of that country after all!" In his heart, he had actually scolded his mother, this John Bull's words have to be understood in reverse, what admiration for oriental culture, it must be Bruce Lee's previous movie, the results achieved are good, so he is embarrassed to excuse himself, after all, with John Bull's character who is about to fight impulsively when he drinks, Bruce Lee's fascinating aesthetics of violence is obviously to John Bull's taste.

"Of course, this is the glorious history of our Britain!" Brooke nodded, still smiling, but when it came to the glory of the empire on which the sun never set, his chin involuntarily lifted slightly.

Although Walter was amused when he saw this, his face did not show it, and after sending Brooke out, he turned his head and said to Mike: "The British are always so self-righteous, they even have to negotiate to the end, and they like to cover up their retrogression ......"

As he spoke, Walter made a helpless gesture, and then shook his head again, if it weren't for the fact that this Brooke's cooperation benefited the most, he would rather talk to another Englishman who asked for more from the previous stereotype, after all, the other party was good except for resolutely lowering the price.

"They're used to it, and they like to dwell on the glory of the past. Mike shrugged.

Walter couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect this guy to be sarcastic and merciless, and nodded in praise: "Acheson is right, 'Britain lost an empire, but didn't find a role'." ”

"The deceased Secretary of State?" Mike asked rhetorically.

"That's right. ”

Dean Gooderham Acheson, U.S. Secretary of State, who died on October 12, 1971, used the phrase "Britain lost an empire but failed to find a role" in the fifties to describe Britain's embarrassing situation and satirize their character. After all, it is a great irony that at that time, when Britain's political and international status was not as good as it used to be, the arrogant British had not yet woken up from the glory of their empire, and could only find some psychological balance in their words and deeds.

"Mike, I want to ask you, haven't you considered setting up a presence in Europe and distributing your own films? After all, we will undoubtedly lose a lot of money by co-distributing with local films all the time. Instead of thinking about the arrogant Englishman, Walter thought of something and asked rhetorically, he very much disliked the act of giving money to others when he could afford to eat more.

Now Bo Wei and Walter have the impression that Disney's distribution ability around the world is really a bit wrong, and it stands to reason that unless the world of the red forces at that end, with Disney's ability, should at least include the discoveries of the whole of Europe, but Mike's negative answer at the beginning really surprised him.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Mike asked rhetorically.

"Of course!"

"Frankly, we've been making similar comments with the board, but the board hasn't made a decision. ”

"Why?"

"Do you need me to say? Think about whose faction we belong to, and you should understand. ”

"Factions?" Vought blurted out, then suddenly thought of something, and asked rhetorically, "Miller, they don't agree?"

Mike didn't answer, just nodded, and everything was self-explanatory.

It's no wonder that Disney knows that establishing its own overseas distribution point can get more benefits, but it still has no decision, and in the final analysis, it is just family infighting.

Think about it, the distribution department belongs to Roy's faction, if Miller and they promise to establish overseas distribution points around the world, then it is undoubtedly a change of direction to help Roy cultivate his own power, this kind of loss-making business, obviously any opponent will not agree, so even if they know that this thing is beneficial and harmless, they are also strongly resisted by the Disney board members of Miller's faction.

What a drag, thinking that Roy later defeated Miller, invited the tyrant to take charge of Disney, and finally led Disney to rise, Walter felt that Miller was really unjustly defeated.

Family infighting is always the most stagnant internal cause of a business, but since he is here, he must let Disney grow in advance, provided that he takes over Disney on the day he takes over. That day, of course, will come soon......

When Walter was still lamenting Disney's infighting and losing a lot of money, it was time for the West Berlin International Film Festival to select awards, but the jury exploded, and the original reason was about the improper participation in "Enter the Dragon......
