This time Cheng Xiaoyu received a higher evaluation, but Peter. Kopla wasn't without his gains, as his film Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 rebounded at the box office and returned to third place this week.

And "The Grim Reaper is Coming" continues to top the weekly box office charts with a box office of 44 million, and for other films, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is really staged, and from this point of view, both parties are beneficiaries.

Peter. Kopla's sailors have also given up on continuing to lower the rating of "The Grim Reaper" on "IMDB" and "Rotten Tomatoes", and now its rating has returned to a relatively fair position, "IMDB" with a score of 8.2.

It's just that Cheng Xiaoyu is still not loved by American film critics, and the freshness of "Rotten Tomatoes" is only 23%, but all this can't affect the big hit of "Death is Coming", because it is a phenomenal popular idol Justin. Bieber's first film.

As the topic of "LightsOut" continues to become popular, Cheng Xiaoyu and his supernatural videos and supernatural stories that he constantly updates on "Whispers" have also become popular, and the public's curiosity about the "Cecil Hotel Documentary" repeatedly mentioned by Cheng Xiaoyu is also increasing day by day.

Originally, the Cecil Hotel was a notorious hotel that the American people had heard of, especially during the "Lan Keer Disappearance" last year, this hotel in Los Angeles occupied the front page of various newspapers, and now there is a documentary called shocking, naturally everyone is looking forward to Cheng Xiaoyu getting the reporter's broadcast rights and releasing it.

It can be said that Cheng Xiaoyu's publicity was a great success.

And there was a lot of controversy within "Universal", of course, because of Cheng Xiaoyu's pseudo-documentary called "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow Record", which took a week to complete the filming of a movie, and Cheng Xiaoyu did it.

Filming started on February 8, the camera shot for three and a half days, and the post-production took four days, if you have to strictly count from the casting and determining the script, of course, it will be more than a week, but no one will compare with Cheng Xiaoyu at this point.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care how long it took to complete the film, and the executives of Universal sat together today, arguing over whether to give up the theatrical schedule of the upcoming "Heroes on the Road" to "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow".

Since Cheng Xiaoyu taught the American film industry, how to play "viral marketing", the head of the "Global Publicity Department" Jeff. Messi has been paying attention to Cheng Xiaoyu, and saw Cheng Xiaoyu use his strength to beat Peter. Kopla played with applause, both promoting the film and hitting the opponent, and I have to sigh that this young man is not only a directorial genius, but also an advertising genius.

Naturally, he also watched Cheng Xiaoyu's short film, and also felt the huge influence of this matter, so he proposed to give the schedule of "Heroes on the Road" to "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", instead of letting Cheng Xiaoyu's film only be screened in art theaters in advance!

When Cheng Xiaoyu contacted "Universal", he naturally hoped to release it in commercial theaters, but the head of the "Universal" purchasing department, John . When Krum heard that this was a DV movie that Cheng Xiaoyu had shot in a week, he immediately said that Cheng Xiaoyu's request for a release time was too hasty, and the screening plans of all movie theaters had already been arranged, so there was really nothing he could do.

Of course, in order not to offend this collaborator with great potential, "Universal" took the initiative to help him contact the art theater line, and said that if the attendance rate is good, he will definitely try to help him go to the commercial theater line.....

Cheng Xiaoyu also felt that his request was indeed a little too impersonal, so he didn't try his best to fight for it, but asked "Universal" to help contact the art theater chain, as for the commercial theater line in the future, he planned to hand it over to the theater division of "Xichu", although the cooperation with "Universal" was quite pleasant, but his own theater relationship still had to be established.

Jeff. Messi first played Cheng Xiaoyu and Peter before the meeting. Kopera's short film, and then said: "If this "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow" is of the same level as this short film, I can guarantee that it will be a big hit!" Do you know how long it took him to shoot this short film? Less than three hours! ”

Jeff. Messi held his breath and said: "He's a genius!" ”

Hear Jeff. Messi's words, Universal's president Adam. Ferguson frowned and said, "What if he's a genius?" He has his own film company, and when you see the A-grade films that he dares to invest $400 million in, you can see how ambitious he is! Do you still want to make a seventh-largest film company? ”

Jeff. Messi said with some dissatisfaction: "Can we still stop the rise of Mr. Cheng's 'Xichu' now?" If not, why can't you cooperate well and strive for a more piece of the pie on the road of his growth? ”

Vice President Lang. Meyer said noncommittally: "We may not be able to, but he may be able to himself, the investment of $400 million is too risky!" And he didn't invite us to 'Global' to invest..... Why do we want to hand an olive branch to this Chinese American? Just because we had a good time working together? ”

Staven. Bell sighed and said, "He didn't invite us to participate, can't we bring it up to cooperate?" I don't think Cheng Xiaoyu will refuse our friendship, everyone knows that Hollywood movies are not a solitary era......"

Vice President Lang. Meyer pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Mr. Staven, we are not optimistic about his 'big production', now there is no IP A-grade film, the possibility of loss is too high...... "Future World" is a lesson from the past, he Cheng Xiaoyu loses, and we 'Universal' can't afford to lose." ”

President Adam. Ferguson didn't want any contradictions within the company, and immediately corrected the topic: "What we are discussing now is not this issue, but whether we need to give up the schedule of "Heroes on the Road" to Cheng and his movie. ”

Bright. Meyer raised his voice and said, "Let the schedule out, what do you think of Hoffman?" He's the director of our 'Universal'! It has been more than a year since the warm-up of "Heroes on the Road", and now because of a movie that may be a hit, it is about to give up the schedule, how can our "Universal" directors appease? Is it that after Cheng Xiaoyu finishes filming a movie, we will have to fully cooperate? We can't just look at the benefits that don't exist yet....... What do you think? Director of Staven? ”

Donna Langley, the head of the "Universal" film division, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up: "Although I haven't seen how the movie was made, but the pseudo-documentary with hand-held photography? How can that kind of movie with dangling shots become popular? Being able to play it on the big screen is to give Cheng Xiaoyu face! And this propaganda of his is a kind of cheating! He told the audience that it was a documentary he had received, and that he was falsely propagandizing......"

See Donna. Langley said so, Jeff. Messi couldn't help but defend Cheng Xiaoyu: "He just said this in his own 'whispers', did he say this on TV, in newspapers, and in other media?" It's not an advertising ..... at all."

Donna. Langari said noncommittally: "That doesn't change the fact of false propaganda!" ”

Stephen Bock, the head of the publishing department, although he and Stavon. Bell relationship, but in this matter he intends to stand by Lang. Meyer, so he said: "Not every movie is suitable for the theater industry, and the tricks of deception also damage the reputation of our 'Universal', if the movie is not good, the audience feels fooled, it is an irreparable loss for our distributors." It is undeniable that Cheng is a genius, and his publicity is also very good, but unfortunately the time is really wrong, "Heroes on the Road" is also a movie that we have high hopes for, maybe we can discuss with Cheng and come up with a suitable price, so that he can hand over the VCD and DVD distribution of this movie to us to be responsible......"

President Adam. Ferguson nodded and looked at Staven. Bell said, "Yes! That's a good idea! We can't deny Cheng's genius, but this movie can't be promoted under his name, right? No matter how good his film is, it is meaningless! ”

Since President Adam. Ferguson has spoken, which means that the dust has settled, Jeff. Messi could only close his eyes helplessly, he had already seen that "Universal" had missed a hit movie.

Staven. Bell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since everyone thinks it's good not to let the schedule out, then don't let it!" ”

A group of executives sitting around the ring table met Staven. Bell didn't slap the table angrily, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and many people began to clean up the table and prepare to leave.

Staven. Bell stood up and asked, "We've been arguing for a long time, has anyone seen Cheng's movie?" Krum, when Cheng Xiaoyu called you, did you ask to watch the video? ”

John. Krum didn't expect to be beaten by Stavin in the end. Bell called the name and said with some astonishment: "I heard Mr. Cheng say that the DV movie was completed in a week, so I didn't mention him coming." And then John. Krum immediately explained: "Mr. Cheng did not recommend his film very strongly, I told him to help him contact the art theater, and he agreed very happily and was not dissatisfied...... I think maybe he doesn't have that much confidence in his work......"

Staven. Bell smiled and said meaningfully, "Okay! Then you can contact this kid Cheng and see if he is willing to hand over the DVD and VCD to us 'Universal' to distribute it for him! ”
