Chapter 271: Round Table
Tomorrow's fourth watch, ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a referral ticket!
————————
Hong Dali told Yu Meiqin and other children his brilliant story here, from the concert to buying a house and land, and then to the family meeting to save the big turtle.
And at the same time, across the ocean, Jianli Mei, Hollywood.
A huge conference room.
In the center of the room is a huge round table, surrounded by eight seats, each with a person seated. At this time, the indoor light deliberately creates a dim effect, so that everyone can't see the appearance clearly, which is full of quite a sense of mystery.
Today, the occasion where these eight people are located is one of the most important conferences in Hollywood, the Roundtable.
The eight people who can sit here are all top figures from several major Hollywood companies, which can be called the kind that can make the Jianlimei entertainment industry tremble a few times by stomping their feet.
It can be said that every roundtable is held when Hollywood faces the most important thing.
And at this moment, one of the eight people, holding a report in his hand, was reading slowly: "Hong Dali, the only son of the Hong family of the giant family of the Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Weiguo, is idle, not doing business, and is nicknamed Super Loser. ”
"But this person is quite lucky, he likes to engage in any industry, but he has made a lot of money in everything he does, and recently he rescued the big turtle Xuanwu, which led to the advent of the era of great economic development in the kingdom of heaven."
The voice of the person reading the document. It is vaguely the James who has had a contact with Hong Dali before!
"Well, these are just a rough outline, is there a specific content?" At this time, a slightly older man sitting on the other side asked, "Dear James, you know what you are saying, but these things don't do anything to us. The only thing I got from this information was that it was a lucky guy - nothing else. ”
"Specific ......" mentioned this, James spread his hands helplessly: "After all, this person has only recently entered our field of vision." The above survey is relatively late. There is no specific information on many things, and the above is also very helpless. However, this Hong Dali usually gets everything, and he doesn't have a specific goal, which makes our intelligence officers helpless. The only thing we know at the moment is that this Hong Dali is quite lucky. That's all. ”
He said helplessly. And that's exactly what happened.
Hong Dali is playing in almost all walks of life. Today is engaged in catering, tomorrow is engaged in land, and the day after tomorrow he will run to play games - such a person, who can catch his exact information?
"Just kidding." The other smiled dismissively. said: "The above asked us Hollywood to suppress Hong Dali, but we don't even have detailed information, how do we do this?" There have been legends of the Four Holy Beasts in Heaven since ancient times, and now that big snapping turtle is deliberately used as a sacred object by Heaven to promote and worship, which has a considerable impact on morale. The last time you went to ask for a big snapping turtle loan, it didn't work, what do we need to do now to suppress the morale of the other side? ”
"What can I do about this?" James shrugged his shoulders: "Heaven has always been the most important enemy of our Jianlimei, and it is absolutely impossible to start a war, so we can only fight an economic war." Now it's up to us to figure it out on our own, and to be honest, I don't have much to think about at the moment. ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, sir." At this time, the third person slowly spoke and said: "We are a film and television group, and we can't interfere in other aspects, but we only need to suppress the film and television industry in the kingdom of heaven." Well, what of their "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has entered post-production, right? We just need to make a fuss about that. James, your company's "Age of Magic" is about to be released, right? We may consider putting it on the same day as their "Heaven and Dragon Slayer......"
"I refuse this!" James shook his head decisively: "It is currently at least two to three months before the premiere of my "Age of Magic" can be held, and if it is advanced, it is obvious that the audience will not buy it if the preparation is not sufficient." ”
"And who has a film coming soon?" The third person asked slowly: "This time we just need to snipe their box office revenue." Let them understand that even if there is a big snapping turtle, their film and television are not worth mentioning. Then we'll reopen the technical support as a weight, and I'm sure they'll seriously consider our suggestion to lease the giant snapping turtle. At that time, hehe, the Xuanwu myth will naturally be self-defeating. ”
"I'm in favor of the idea." At this time, the first person to speak nodded and said: "But I suggest that for the sake of insurance, we can consider increasing the number of films to two, so that at the premiere of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it must be very good." ”
"I second." "Seconded." "Seconded."
Now that everyone seconded, the third person nodded and said, "Well, then this article will be passed." Who knows which two films will be released in the near future? ”
"En......" James thought for a while: "At present, there are two upcoming films "Screaming Hour" and "Ace Air Raid" with a capital of about 10 million, one horror film and one war movie. Although the production cost is not as good as the cost of 15 million yuan in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it should not be a big problem. When the time comes, you just need to grab the box office with them. ”
"Scream Hour and Ace Strike?" The third person thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay, let's play with these two small-budget movies first, by the way, the strength of these two companies is not enough to enter the core layer of our Hollywood, so we need to promote it well, so it is naturally best to win, and if you lose, it is nothing." ”
James smiled, "I understand, I'll deal with this when I get back." These two companies will be happy to have the support of us in Hollywood. After saying this, James asked again: "By the way, because of the local film protection regulations in the world, we want to compete with them at the box office." There is still a lot of public relations costs, how much do you think is appropriate? ”
The third person said slowly: "Ten million US dollars, it must be enough." ”
"Okay, that's fine!" With these words, James suddenly smiled and said: "Two small companies that don't enter the stream can suppress them and can't hold their heads up, at this point, they must be quite uncomfortable in their hearts, haluha." ”
Listening to what he said funny, the other seven people in the room also laughed.
At this time, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the third person asked with a smile, "En." Is there anything else going on? Has that Hong Dali done anything else recently? ”
"Something else. Wait for me to see. James looked at the report in his hand: "Tomorrow is the first game carnival he made, it seems to be something related to online games and stuff." ”
"This Hong Dali is really messing around with everything." The third person smiled and said disdainfully: "Okay, a little guy who spends money indiscriminately." A round table was held specifically for him. It's a bit of a waste of time. Since there is nothing to do. Then we will dismiss the meeting and wait for the good news. ”
……
Early the next morning, on the ninth floor of the Chenhui Building. Caiwei Film and Television Company.
Lao Deming sweated profusely and walked around the conference room, looking at the time from time to time, and finally, the door of the room was pushed open, and Hong Dali walked in leisurely. Lao Deming's whole person pounced, and said hurriedly: "Young master, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!" ”
"What's the big deal?" Hong Dali said strangely: "Nothing big has happened recently!" ”
"It's Hollywood!" Lao Deming said depressedly: "Hollywood's two films, "Scream Hour" and "Ace Air Raid", announced their premieres and release times in our country, which are ...... It was July 6th, two hours ahead of us! ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard Lao Deming's words, Hong Dali understood: "They plan to compete with us for the box office?" ”
"It must be!" Lao Deming said: "July 6 is the weekend, and these two films will be released in China at the same time, I am afraid that our box office will be ...... by then."
"Box office, it doesn't matter if it's high or low, isn't it good to have a revised film?" Hong Dali said strangely: "But speaking of which, for Mao's film, their films can be released in our country, and ours can't be released in them?" What is the rationale for this? ”
"It's because of the national film and television protection regulations." At this time, Zhang Cai, who was on the side, explained to Hong Dali: "All countries have protection measures for local films, for example, China only imports about 30 American films for domestic release every year, which is still so much under the WTO agreement, otherwise even less." These films still have to go through layers of approval. There is not only a question of quality, but the key problem is that the number of screens in a country is limited, and there are so many movies waiting to be released every year. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Hong Dali touched his chin and smiled: "In other words, our "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Great Rivers and Lakes" was stuck by them, and then what of their "Screaming Moments" and "Ace Air Raid" were not stuck by us?" ”
"That's pretty much what it means." Lao Deming said hatefully: "These people are obviously planning to compete with us for the box office, but we can't protest this kind of thing, it's really infuriating!" ”
"That's fine, you just do your job," Hong Dali was not worried at all: "Anyway, I believe that the eyes of the masses are bright!" ”
"Okay, then, then I'll go back first." Lao Deming said as he wiped the cold sweat on his head and went out.
In fact, it's no wonder he's so nervous, after all, the film and television industry here in Heaven is a lot worse than Hollywood, and he is congenitally lacking in confidence.
Hong Dali doesn't care, Mr. Jin Yong's books have been sold in dozens of countries on the earth, and the plots in this "Jianghu" are almost all powerful dry goods, and he really doesn't believe that the box office of "Jianghu" will not be able to do the other party.
"Sister Cai, where is Xiaoyi?" After Lao Deming went out, Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai and asked, "It seems that she went out of Lu after she arrived here, do you know where she went?" ”
"Young master, have you forgotten?" Zhang Cai smiled: "Today is the day of the first game carnival, Xiaoyi went over there to check." ”
"Oh," Hong Dali laughed, "You don't say I really forgot!" Then wait for the evening, let's go and see it together! (To be continued......)
