Fabricating the Rita Conroy incident was a source of sympathy, despite criticism from some.

But this incident is not completely unfounded, after all, the Americans did have some experience in Iraq.

So this matter can actually be explained, the key is the anti-war wave, and Jon, the distribution manager, did mention it.

It was also intended to be implemented in this way, but before it could be implemented, the anti-war wave broke out.

It is undeniable that Lionsgate had the idea of setting off an anti-war wave to attract audiences to the theater for "Buried Alive", which is the most important thing.

And the Rita Conroy incident did have a positive impact on the anti-war wave.

On the other hand, although Lionsgate does not want to get too close to the government, they also do not want to offend the government.

However, if the anti-war wave is confirmed, it is destined to offend the interests of a certain part of the government.

Now James Budge's words have undoubtedly put Lionsgate on the fire, and Lionsgate had to immediately activate emergency public relations.

"Mark, Mark, Mark, Am I dreaming?" said Jack Chen, who was far away in New York, with a look of disbelief.

Mark looked at Jack Chen, "Hey, man, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Do you know who called me just now?" Jack Chan couldn't contain his excitement anymore, "It's Justin Chen, he said he would consider it last time, and I thought there was no hope for it."

Now he told me that I could interview him. ”

"You've had a lot of luck, and it's good news to celebrate. Mark was also happy for his friend Jack Chen, who was a hot figure during this time.

An interview is enough to make a lot of people look forward to it, although the New York Times doesn't have to worry about sales at all.

"I have to apply to the editor-in-chief. I think flying to Los Angeles is more sincere. ”

Jim Roberts, deputy editor of The New York Times, granted Jack Chen's request. He also saw the news in the Los Angeles Times.

Chen Tian agreed to an exclusive interview under such circumstances. Naturally, he knew that he had some idea of using the New York Times to explain.

Lionsgate and "Buried Alive" as well as Chen Tian's official website have been attacked by many people, although the Rita Conroy incident has passed nearly four months.

But with the revelation of the "Los Angeles Times" that this matter was fake, many people found a reason to attack.

Although many people thought that this incident was fake at the time, neither Lionsgate nor Chen Tian publicly explained this.

At the same time, many people in the Directors Association also proposed that Chen Tian had broken the rules of the entire industry, and some people even proposed that there would be good scripts in the future and invest in them themselves, and then asked for such a sharing agreement.

Even after the "Los Angeles Times" was exposed, the director who had negotiated with several major companies to seek filming funds had an accident.

"Hollywood has its own set of rules for running now, but now there's something we don't want to see.

I don't know if we are the only ones who have been hurt, and I hope this matter is resolved. Rather than causing a worse impact. Matthew Lunt was the first to step up.

He is negotiating the release of superstar Mel Gibson's thriller "Paparazzi" and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" next year, both of which are at an impasse.

Especially the latter "The Passion of the Christ", he is very optimistic about this film, although this film is very controversial, Matthew Runt is confident that this film will box office hundreds of millions.

But Mel Gibson's offer of a sharing agreement is something he does not want to accept at all, and Mel Gibson demands a higher share than Chen Tian and Lionsgate.

All of a sudden, negotiations between the two films were suspended, and Matthew Runt naturally turned his anger on Sine Mans and MGM.

Almost at the same time, two films that Sony Colombia was negotiating, "Girl Next Door" and "Club of Horrors", also temporarily halted negotiations for the same reason.

This is not uncommon, and it has caused other companies to complain.

If it weren't for Chen Tian's sharing agreement, then these people would not have made such a request at all.

"Yes. Now they all blame us, and they can only say that I look easier to bully.

They didn't go to Spielberg or Michael Bay. They also have a lot of sharing agreements. Chen Tian replied with a sneer.

As he said, it is because of his low qualifications that he has this because of the color of his skin.

In the past, they longed for higher treatment even if they were dissatisfied, but after the struggle they failed, or they did not fight at all.

And now that Chen Tian's sharing agreement has been exposed, it just gives them an opportunity to put forward the goal they have long desired at this time.

Bullying the weak, such a word could not be more appropriate for these people.

"Justin, you're right, we're going to have a press conference in the afternoon to explain what happened, and then you come over too. Tom Thornberg says.

The press conference in the afternoon was used by Lions Gate to explain four of the five things that were revealed by James Budge.

In the same city, MGM did not respond, as if he did not know.

Universal's distribution manager, Nicky Rocco, has not complained publicly, although Universal's situation is the same today.

Nicky Rocco, who was sitting in the Universal Pictures Building, was browsing Chen Tian's official website, and the number of members of Chen Tian's official website officially exceeded the 10,000 mark during this time, approaching 20,000.

Looking at the news about the new film, Chen Tian's explanation on the official website is still low-cost.

Nicky Rocco recalls some low-budget sci-fi films in his mind, and as fans summarized, he has no doubt that Chen Tian will do it.

Seeing that Chen Tian has a high evaluation of "Saw Horror", he also believes that with Lionsgate's ability to distinguish between thriller and horror films, if there is no high quality, he will definitely not open such an exaggerated sharing agreement.

Like a film he negotiated today, if there is absolute quality.

He also doesn't mind snatching it from other companies with a high-share deal, but only if the film has the kind of quality that is worth the price he pays.

If there is really the quality of the two films "Buried Alive" and "Hard Candy", even if he is reluctant to pay as high a price as Lionsgate and MGM, he is absolutely willing to reduce it slightly and then higher than the normal sharing agreement.

"Starring Natalie Portman, low-budget, written and directed by Justin Chen, it might be worth trying. Nicky Loroko muttered softly.

Chen Tian didn't know that when many companies stood up to criticize him at this time, some people even caught his attention.

At 3 p.m., the conference hall of the Holiday Inn Santa Monica with a capacity of 100 people is full.

"How do you think they're going to explain this?"

"How to explain it, it must be in the good direction, and then try to avoid the unexplainable as much as possible. ”

Chen Tian clenched his fists, and he could imagine the impact of those words at today's press conference.

With a deep breath, Lionsgate CEO John Vlamere, Tom Thornberg and Jon Philtimmel pushed the door open and walked into the conference room.

The reporters in the conference room raised their shooting equipment one by one and quickly pressed the shutter. (To be continued......)
