The reporter's question session ended without danger, and Liu Zhenwei breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally completed the task assigned to him by Lin Youlun.

At the same time that the audience walked into the screening hall to watch "Da Lang Laughing and Immortal", a small-scale screening was also underway at the headquarters of Jiayi Cinema Line, and the organizer was Lin Jianyue.

After a year and a half, costing 130 million Hong Kong dollars, carrying Xu Ke's dream of an oriental special effects blockbuster, "Zhu Xian's Qingyun Tribulation" was finally completed, before the release schedule of this film was scheduled, Lin Jianyue, as a director of Jiayi, specifically requested to hold such a small-scale test screening, on the one hand, in order to strive for the largest number of screenings for this film, and on the other hand, it also had the meaning of demonstrating to Lin Youlun.

Back then, you weren't optimistic about Lu's movie, but now it's made with my support, and I invite you to come and watch this movie in advance, just to see how you regret it!

Lin Jianyue thinks so, it doesn't mean that Xu Ke thinks so too, in fact, he has strongly opposed this internal test screening.

It's not that Xu Ke doesn't have confidence in his own works, on the contrary, with the technical support of Aurora Special Effects Company, the movie "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation" has basically achieved the pinnacle of visual effects of the same type of movie, and the special effects scenes in the film can be said to have made leaps and bounds compared with "Storm and Cloud Dominating the World" 3 years ago.

Because of this, Xu Kecai was worried that Lin Jianyue invited Lin Youlun over to watch this movie with a show-off purpose, which would backfire in the end, making Lin Youlun jealous of this movie, and then sparing no effort to suppress it.

Lin Jianyue is not stupid, of course he can think of this, but he believes that Lin Youlun will not do this. Because of Lin Youlun's pride. and Lin Youlun himself set the rules in Jiayi Cinema.

The number and scale of subsequent screenings are determined by box office performance - last year's opening film "Family Carnival" was able to achieve a box office of more than 30 million. It has a lot to do with this provision.

Otherwise, with Lin Jianyue's 5% stake in Jiayi Cinema Line, he is not qualified to decide the specific number and scale of a certain film, Lin Youlun only needs to press on the number of screenings, and it is difficult to say whether the box office of "Family Carnival" can exceed 20 million.

Lin Jianyue believes that Lin Youlun will not do this, but it does not mean that he is completely defenseless, so he also invited the directors of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in Jiayi this time, although it is impossible for them to join forces to change Lin Youlun's absolute controlling position in Jiayi, and Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are unlikely to join forces with Lin Jianyue. But there are others present to witness that if Lin Youlun really wants to suppress it, he will have more worries in his heart.

Among all the invitees, the first to arrive was Fang Yihua.

Shaw Brothers' directorship in Jiayi Cinema Line has always been held by Shaw Yifu himself, but every time he holds a board meeting, he only sends a representative to attend, and when he encounters a particularly important matter, he will personally come forward or ask Fang Yihua to come over.

Fang Yihua's arrival surprised Lin Jianyue and Xu Ke.

Xu Ke is okay, he has dealt with Shaw Brothers before. He is also familiar with Fang Yihua, and he behaves naturally when he meets and greets.

Lin Jianyue was a little uncomfortable. The reason is that his father Lin Baixin's ATV and Shao Yifu's wireless are rivals, Fang Yihua came this time, and Lin Jianyue always felt that she came to see her own show.

Suspicion is suspicion, Lin Jianyue still politely invited Fang Yihua into the screening room, and when he turned around, his face became very gloomy.

Just now, Fang Yihua asked about the investment in "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation", Lin Jianyue told the truth, he thought that the investment of 130 million would make Fang Yihua amazed, but he didn't expect Fang Yihua to only say lightly, Lin Jianyue's courage is not inferior to Lin Baixin, and then there is no follow-up.

This sound like a quarry Lin Jianyue on the surface, but in fact, it is a sarcasm that Lin Jianyue is the same as his father Lin Baixin, who is willing to spend money. In front of Shao Yifu and Lin Youlun, their father and son are still laymen.

Xu Ke just saw Lin Jianyue and Fang Yihua chatting for a few words, and he didn't know the specific content of Lu Dao, and then saw that Lin Jianyue came back with a gloomy face, so he couldn't help but didn't ask more.

Not long after Fang Yihua entered, He Guanchang also arrived.

Golden Harvest and Lin Jianyue's Huanya, and Lin Baixin's ATV have no direct conflict of interest, so He Guanchang came this time purely out of curiosity about Xu Ke's new film.

"It's been 8 years in a blink of an eye, and I still remember the sensation caused by the release of "New Shushan Swordsman", and Director Xu's new work this time will not disappoint."

A very ordinary polite remark, but it had a different effect in the ears of Xu Ke and Lin Jianyue.

Xu Ke sighed with emotion, 8 years ago, he was as ambitious as now, but the result backfired, 8 years later, he filmed this "Zhuxian Qingyun Tribulation" because he was unwilling, I don't know what the result will be.

Lin Jianyue wondered if he had ulterior motives for saying this, the "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" that Xu Ke started filming for Jiahe back then was a typical example of whether it was popular or not, He Guanchang brought up the old things, and the feeling in his words was that he had already decided that "Zhu Xian's Qingyun Tribulation" would follow the old path of "New Shu Mountain Swordsman".

Lin Jianyue can't be blamed for being suspicious about this, because before Xu Ke asked him to invest in the filming of "Zhu Xian's Qingyun Tribulation", he had also asked Golden Harvest to invest, but was rejected by Golden Harvest. With Zou Wenhuai's old scheming and He Guanchang's shrewdness, if he is really optimistic about this movie, it will not be Lin Jianyue's turn to invest in this movie.

Lin Jianyue's confidence in this film has begun to waver after some contact with Fang Yihua and He Guanchang, although he himself refuses to admit it.

Whether it is Fang Yihua or He Guanchang, their evaluation of this film is not very important to Xu Ke, the most important thing is what Lin Youlun thinks.

A sound of footsteps from far and near pulled Xu Ke and Lin Jianyue back from their respective thoughts, and the two of them looked up together, and the thoughts in their hearts after seeing the person who came were very consistent.

It's finally here!

Lin Youlun came, and he didn't come alone, he was followed by a foreigner. Lin Jianyue recognized the other party's identity at a glance: Thomas Thomas, president of Asia Affairs of United Arts Cinema Line.

Lin Jianyue once thought about inviting Thomas over, but considering that this was just a small test screening within Jiayi Cinema, he invited Thomas alone, which might be rejected by Lin Youlun, but Lin Jianyue never imagined that Lin Youlun actually took the initiative to bring Thomas over.

Seeing that the two had come closer, Lin Jianyue could only suppress the doubts in his heart and greeted Xu Ke together.

Lin Jianyue and Thomas shook hands, and Xu Ke shook hands with Lin Youlun, this meeting was very in line with their respective mentalities and positions.

The film "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation" has invested hundreds of millions of yuan alone, and if you want to recover costs or even make a profit, it is impossible to rely on the Asian market alone, and you must strive for the large-scale release of the film in North America, and the United Arts Theater Line is the most active in introducing Hong Kong films. Lin Jianyue showed such enthusiasm for Thomas as soon as they met, and the purpose was self-evident.

And Xu Ke is now working hard to promote "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation" to become the opening film of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and if this matter wants to succeed, Lin Youlun's attitude is very important, although because of Zhong Liti, Lin Youlun inherited Xu Ke's favor, but Xu Ke didn't think that he could sit back and relax, in fact, whether this favor could be exchanged for Lin Youlun's support, he was still hesitant in his heart, so when he saw Lin Youlun at this time, he naturally had to be more active and enthusiastic.

"I heard Mr. Lin say, Mr. Lin, you made a very interesting movie, so I asked him to take me over to take a look, and I ask Mr. Lin to forgive me for my presumptuousness." Thomas speaks Chinese fluently, but two Mr. Lin appeared in his words, and although everyone understood what he was trying to say, it still sounded awkward.

Lin Jianyue heard Lin Youlun take the initiative to mention the movie "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation" in front of Thomas, and his doubts were even worse, and he couldn't figure out what Lin Youlun wanted to do for a while.

By the way, he must have felt that in the demo tape used for the test screening of this movie, English was not added to the subtitles, although Thomas knew some Chinese, but it would look the same as it would be very difficult, and then the perception of this movie would plummet!

Lin Jianyue thought about it, he could only think of such a possibility, but this time he was sure that Lin Youlun would be disappointed.

The positioning of the movie "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation" was aimed at overseas markets at the beginning, so at the beginning of the subtitles, it has always been Chinese and English double subtitles.

Lin Jianyue didn't know what to say, he actually thought like a villain, and Lin Youlun was not optimistic about the results of the film adaptation of "Zhu Xian" in overseas markets from the beginning, so he agreed to hand over this movie to Lin Jianyue for investment.

Thomas came to watch this movie with Lin Youlun, it was completely accidental, he came to visit Lin Youlun today, in fact, he discussed with Lin Youlun about the release of another movie in the United States, and then during the conversation, Lin Youlun inadvertently mentioned the movie "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation".

After learning the lesson of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Thomas no longer dared to underestimate the market potential of such oriental films in North America, especially when he heard that the cost of this movie was not inferior to other Hong Kong blockbusters, his interest was even stronger, and he took the initiative to come with Lin Youlun.

"Is everyone else here already?" Lin Youlun asked Xu Ke, and then Xu Ke nodded.

Lin Youlun then interrupted Thomas and Lin Jianyue's conversation, "Let's go in, otherwise the others won't be able to wait." With that, he went straight inside.

Lin Jianyue originally wanted to talk to Thomas for a while, but Thomas was obviously more willing to listen to Lin Youlun's arrangement and follow inside, Lin Jianyue had no choice but to accompany the Americans to go in.
