Chapter 654: Robbery

In fact, when "Forrest Gump" was not half screened, Michael Shaw knew that Warner Bros. was really going to bleed this time!

This bleeding is not a one-star bleeding, it is at least 5% of the distribution rate!

But even so, Michael Shaw has no bottom in his heart. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if it is to pay 5% of the distribution commission, it is unknown whether Warner Bros. can win this movie!

And when the film ends in that feather constantly fluttering, Michael Shaw really has the idea of killing!

It is because of his own carelessness that he has caused this situation of great possibility of losing this movie, which Michael Shaw cannot bear.

Looking at the faces of the "old guys" around him, Michael Shaw's face became even worse.

If it is common sense that since Warner Bros. has chosen Warner Bros. for this movie of the Grandmaster, then Warner Bros. should hold an internal preview first and then decide whether to sign the film.

But Michael Shaw really didn't expect a rookie director to make such a wonderful movie, and he was personally very disgusted with the Grandmaster's "not doing his job" practice of often crossing the line, so he didn't hold an internal test screening, or he didn't pay attention to this internal test screening at all.

Michael Shaw knows very well that among the hundreds of subordinates in his department, there are many undercover agents from other film companies. In fact, in the distribution departments of other film companies, there are also undercover agents arranged by Warner Bros., which is a common occurrence in Hollywood now.

If it is changed to a film by another big director, then the news of the internal preview meeting is absolutely confidential, and only a very small number of high-level executives can see the new film before signing the contract.

But it was because of his carelessness that the news of this new film leaked out, and as a result, it attracted so many wolves......

Michael Shaw knows very well that this mistake alone is enough for the board to remove him, and if he can't win this film, then he may not be able to mix in Hollywood in the future.

Michael Shaw, who has been in the publishing department for more than five years, knows how greedy and ruthless the guys above the top are!

For the sake of his position, for his career, this movie must be won!

Although Michael Shaw hated it so much, he had to start to talk to the grandmaster wholeheartedly at this time.

No way, who let this movie Warner Bros. not sign?

As long as there is no contract, then this movie has the possibility of falling to his family!

This is definitely a god-level movie that can be a big hit at the box office, and it can also be a big hit at next year's Oscars!

Michael Shaw has no doubts about this. And it can also be seen from the faces of the high-level executives of the distribution departments of several other film companies!

So many Hollywood executives are smiling and smiling at that young rookie director, which is enough to say it all!

Even the new films made by Zheng Zesheng or Zhou Weidao may not be able to be sought after by so many Hollywood film company executives!

Thinking of this, Michael Shaw cleanly drove out all the negative emotions in his heart, rubbed his face, replaced it with the most sincere smile, and inserted it very strongly from among the guys surrounding the grandmaster.

"Hey, master, I'm sorry for being late, the main thing is that this movie of yours makes me a little overwhelmed, I really don't know how to describe this movie, perhaps, this movie is the best movie I've ever seen in my life!"

Isn't it just stammering and complimenting? Who wouldn't! This is a basic skill that a publisher must practice when making his debut!

Although this kind of basic skill has long been stopped in these years, the basic skill is the basic skill, and even if you die, this kind of basic skill will not be forgotten.

"Hey Michael, I have to thank you for this preview today. Thank you very much for your support of me for this non-film. The Grandmaster shook Michael Shaw's hand very warmly.

For Michael Shaw, the grandmaster is still grateful, if it weren't for others, the road to the overseas distribution of his film would undoubtedly be a lot more tortuous.

Seeing that the Grandmaster and Michael Shaw were talking happily, the executives of several other major film companies also looked at each other.

With such a good movie, they don't want to give up either, even if it's a Warner Bros. test screening!

After all, the film hasn't been signed yet, has it?

Since there is no signing, then everyone has a chance to compete!

This is not a movie that grosses tens of millions of dollars, and these guys may not compete with Warner Bros. for the sake of face, but this is a good film that can definitely exceed $600 million or more at the global box office!

This is tens of millions of dollars in distribution, if you count the VCD distribution after release, video tape rental, network on-demand, TV station replay rights and peripheral development, this film may be able to bring hundreds of millions of dollars in returns to the film company responsible for distribution!

In the face of such huge interests, there is no face that can be stopped!

"Hello Master, I'm Bobby Brighton, the distribution manager at Universal Pictures. I think if you were to give us the film to be distributed by Universal Universal, you would get the most favorable distribution percentage for your film, say 12%?" As the top distributor in the circle, Bobby Brighton is ready to impress the Grandmaster with the most convincing stuff.

With 12% of the global box office excluding Dahua, this distribution commission is definitely very low.

You must know that in Hollywood, even the top directors, if the movie is not amazing enough, then the producer must pay at least 15% of the distribution commission.

Bobby Brighton opened his mouth at 12 per cent, which is definitely a pretty low percentage.

A group of people around him gasped directly, Bobby Brighton was really ruthless enough, and he started a price war without saying a word.

But they are helpless, although they are also the managers of the distribution departments of major film companies, they do not have the power of Bobby Brighton. If they give a price of less than 15%, then they have to go to the board of directors to study it.

Michael Shaw glared at Bobby Brighton, but he had no choice but to step back slightly, pull out the phone and call the boss upstairs.

I have to say that the saying that the building near the water gets the moon is also suitable for the United States.

After all, this is the headquarters of Warner Bros., and the president of Warner Bros. is working on the fifth floor, and within two minutes of receiving this call, Chris Wade appeared in the small screening room.

After discussing with Michael Shaw in a low voice, the anger on Chris Wade's face flashed, and after glaring at Michael Shaw and the others fiercely, he changed into a smiling face as if his face had changed, walked up to the grandmaster and said: "Hello Master, I am Chris Wade, the president of Warner Bros., and I think I can offer you such a price on behalf of Warner Bros. for this movie." ”

After a pause, Chris Wade slowly said something that made everyone present change their faces.
