398. American Propaganda (Part I)
PS: Thank you for the reward from the non-Safinn students, I have written more than a million words, and I am very excited to receive the reward for the first time! Thank!
The foreign number is calling today, and it is not surprising that it should be the news from Miramax.
Because today is not only the Chinese New Year's Eve, but also the premiere of "The Grandmaster" in the United States.
Not surprisingly, this phone call was to tell Ye Sumang about the box office on the first day.
Under Liu Yifei's curious gaze, Ye Sumang slowly pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear.
"Is it my dear leaf? Why did it drag on for so long. As soon as the phone was connected, the person on the other end complained loudly.
"Tell the point, Mr. Jack, or I wouldn't mind wasting you some more time." Ye Sumang frowned slightly and said.
As soon as these words came out, the other party's words were also stunned, but they quickly recovered.
"Ye, you Orientals really lack a sense of humor, okay, the purpose of my call is to tell you about the release just now." Jack's helpless voice came, making Ye Sumang's breathing slow down.
The hall was very quiet, and Ye Sumang did not shy away from Liu Yifei, so Liu Yifei also heard the voice of the phone clearly, and when she heard that it was the box office situation of "The Grandmaster" in the United States, her eyes also lit up, and her little ears were pricked up like a radar, and her face was also brought to Ye Sumang's mobile phone, obviously to understand.
After all, this is her first film to be released in the United States in the true sense!
"Ye, I think you need to pack your bags." Jack didn't answer directly, and continued to sell the off.
What do you mean by that? I said Jack, I hate you the most, it's really unpleasant, are you a? Ye Sumang was almost suffocated by Jack's words, how could he say that it was so difficult to get a result.
However, Ye Sumang's sentence of 'girl' obviously touched Jack's pain point.
"Leaves. Although you are a great director, although you are a rich man, you can't insult my personality! I'm protesting! Jack shouted loudly.
"Feel free to ask my lawyer to talk to you individually, and if you don't talk to me about the point, I don't mind talking to your company's top management. Is it to replace you as a middleman? Ye Sumang took the phone away slightly, and it wasn't until Jack finished arguing that he said calmly.
Just one sentence made Jack, who was still angry just now, instantly dumbfounded.
"Okay, Ye, please forgive me for my irritability, that's not really me...... OK, I'll say it now. Ye, I really didn't expect your movie to be so popular, you know, there were very few audiences in the first show, but by the time of the third show today, it would already have an attendance rate of 60%, and today's box office could also exceed one million, which is great! Jack said faster and faster. The more I talked, the more excited I became, and it was no longer at all like zuihou. It's all a jubberish of his own excitement.
But Ye Sumang didn't care, because he had already gotten it!
An indescribable mood came to his heart, and the corners of Ye Sumang's mouth couldn't help but hang a bright smile, and Liu Yifei beside him was the same, a delicate little face smiled like a flower.
has finally improved, and Ye Sumang's movies in Hollywood have always been very weak. There was only one "Youth Musical" that achieved good box office results before, but it was only adapted from his own movie, and he didn't make it himself, so there was really nothing to be proud of.
And this time, the good box office of the release of "The Grandmaster" really untied a knot in Ye Sumang's heart.
"Hey. Ye, are you still there, did you listen to me? Jack on the other end of the phone shouted depressedly.
After Ye Sumang heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Ahem, please repeat it." Ye Sumang coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and asked Jack to say it again.
Jack on the other end of the phone could only nod depressedly, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Sumang was a big customer, and he also wanted to earn an extra commission, he would have left the phone and quit.
"Ye, that's the case, Miramax Company hopes that you can bring your actors over to help promote it, after all, it's a waste not to publicize such a prospect, and you have the experience of winning the Oscar last year, and you have a certain popularity, I believe it will be helpful for you to lead the team to publicize." Jack said a lot, but there is actually only one meaning, that is, the box office is good, and you need to lead the team to promote it.
Ye Sumang nodded and agreed without thinking about it.
But as soon as he hung up the phone, he was dumbfounded, because he seemed to remember that after the Spring Festival, many artists in the company would organize groups to travel.
"Sissi." Thinking of this, Ye Sumang suddenly had a headache, and looked at Liu Yifei who was excited for help.
"Su Mang, there is also a movie starring me that has been released in Hollywood, it's great!" Liu Yifei was still immersed in excitement at this time, and she didn't know that her man had caused a little trouble.
"Sissi, you calm down first, I need your help with a little matter." Ye Sumang grabbed Liu Yifei's hands and said with a smile.
Seeing Ye Sumang's sudden appearance, Liu Yifei suddenly looked at him suspiciously.
"That, on the phone just now, it's Jack, and he said that Miramax wants us to go to the United States immediately in the next few days to help promote the movie, you see the company's travel ......"
"It's not easy!" In Ye Sumang's heart, Liu Yifei waved his hand, looking very confident.
Ye Sumang pretended to hurriedly cast an inquiring gaze, hoping that the girl could give a good solution.
"Publicity is the most important, I believe everyone can understand, but tourism can't give up, after all, we have been planning a ...... for a long time" Liu Yifei said while Ye Sumang nodded, speaking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly changed the conversation and said with a smile: "We can completely change the travel route with the publicity, since it is in the United States, then let's go to Hawaii!" ”
"Is that okay?" Ye Sumang's eyes widened, after all, he had seen these girls get together for a long time and didn't decide, how could this time the kung fu suddenly be determined.
Liu Yifei heard Ye Sumang's suspicious tone, and glanced at him, but still nodded affirmatively.
"If you don't believe me, I'll call right now." After speaking, Liu Yifei took out his small mobile phone and called the little sisters one by one, and sure enough, when he heard that he went to Hawaii, all cheers came from the other end of the phone.
This made Ye Sumang feel deeply hurt.
"I said that since it's so simple, what did you do for so long discussing at first, and you always pestered me to give advice, but I'm thinking about it very seriously!" Ye Sumang asked dissatisfiedly.
In this regard, Liu Yifei just snickered, and left a sentence that you don't understand the woman and disappeared, obviously going to find her mother to report the good news. (To be continued......)
