Originally, Liu Anran only planned to play on the island for three days, but it was too comfortable to stay here, and he couldn't hold back all of a sudden, so he played here for a week. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is still a little reluctant, his wife and children have to go back to Huaxia, and he will be bored if he is left alone here. However, the wedding needs to be prepared, and there is still the post-production work of the movie to be dealt with, and he can't play with them.

It is precisely because of this that he is more determined. You must be cautious when making movies in the future, otherwise you will have a lot less time with your baby.

sent everyone away, Liu Anran did not rush to deal with the follow-up of the film, after all, he had a general impression of the whole film in his heart, whether it was the first cut or the fine cut, it was not very difficult for him to come.

"Well, I heard that there are mysterious buyers in contact with those two theater chains?" After coming to Edward's office, Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"It's still a little uncertain if it's fake news, but it's more likely to be true." Edward nodded.

"Originally, they had about 35 percent of the shares, but now they have mentioned 40 percent. I decided to take a cold treat first, and I could also use this time to have a good contact with other theaters. ”

Liu Anran nodded, "You can just look at this, is the release of "Brokeback Mountain" confirmed?" ”

"It's confirmed, now two theaters have been contacted, and when it premieres, each one can give us two screens. I'll fight for it again, four screens are really pitiful. Edward said with a wry smile.

Even if it is these two theaters, they don't let you release it for nothing, they have additional conditions. It depends on the attendance, if the attendance is not high, it is the showtime of the day.

This made Edward very nervous, he didn't know what kind of results "Brokeback Mountain" could achieve. Now it's actually a bet that if it succeeds, MGM will be able to make a big splash at the Oscars in the future. If it fails, it will cause a chain reaction.

"Even if our "Brokeback Mountain" wins the Golden Lion Award, don't these theaters have the confidence to screen it?" Liu Anran frowned and asked.

Edward smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's because I won the Golden Lion Award, so the resistance here is also stronger." In fact, these theaters also want to release this film, but they are afraid that they will also be besieged after the release. ”

"Although the release date has been set, I don't dare to announce it to the public. It will be officially announced ten days before the release, and this is for the convenience of customers who book movie tickets online. ”

"Tsk, I don't know how much money these people who are fueling the troubles behind have prepared to make these people work so hard." Liu Anran touched his chin and said.

"No matter how much money it is, it can be said to be a success now." Edward said helplessly.

"At least the box office of this film has been limited, and it will not be too high. If their protests had been more successful, they might have had an impact on winning the Oscars. ”

"According to the information I have received, Goss has also made a big contribution this time. I just don't know if it's a personal reason or if he was instructed to do it by Paramount. ”

"We don't have to worry about them, let's just follow our own plan." Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"On our own, there is definitely no way to reason with those who protest, unless you don't say anything, and what you say is wrong."

Liu Anran wanted to say something, but the phone on Edward's desk rang, and Liu Anran motioned for him to answer the phone first, and then continue talking. But seeing that the expression on Edward's face was getting lower and lower, he also had a bad premonition.

"The most conservative state of Utah has issued an executive order banning 'Brokeback Mountain' from being shown in Utah." After putting down the phone, Edward said with a wry smile.

"Damn, what the hell is he adding to the chaos of a state government." Liu Anran burst into a foul mouth.

The promulgation of this ban is tantamount to adding insult to injury. Because the previous boycott of "Brokeback Mountain" was a non-governmental act, but this ban is equivalent to this boycott gaining official support.

This is especially true of the United States, which claims to be democratic and free, and the official can set such an example. Even if Utah is just a state, it does not represent the views of the U.S. government, and its influence is huge.

"I'm afraid the next boycott is going to escalate." Edward said with a sad face.

"It's okay, without his king butcher, let's still eat pigs with hair? They boycott if they love it, and when we choose the location of our film in the future, try to avoid the Utah area. Damn, they are really stupid if they don't make money. Liu Anran also said helplessly.

When he lost his temper with France, he could choose never to go to France again. Here in Utah, he also wants to have none of his films released here in the future, but he doesn't have that confidence.

Because this state is so special, it has the highest percentage of single religions in the United States. If you dare to do that, you're in big trouble.

So Rao is Liu Anran is constantly smart, and he has also seen some fragments of future development, and he has no curse when he encounters such a thing. He also vaguely remembered that there was such an order in Utah, but that was after the release of "Brokeback Mountain", not before the release, and the impact was greater.

In the normal trajectory, the release of "Brokeback Mountain" was very bumpy and received a lot of unfair treatment. Now, after running the film on its own, the road has become even more difficult.

"Fortunately, we now control a little more shares in MGM, and there won't be too much turmoil, otherwise I'm afraid the board of directors will have to quarrel now." Edward continued.

In fact, MGM's stock price has also been affected a bit, and the stocks that have risen with the box office accumulation this year some time ago have also fallen slightly.

The main thing is that this trend is still obvious, and it is estimated that the price of the stock will not be stable until this thing is over. If "Brokeback Mountain" is released, it cannot be recognized by the audience in terms of word-of-mouth, and it will not win much at the Oscars, and this film alone can deal a heavy blow to MGM.

No matter how good your other films are, people may not care too much, because they will worry about whether you will continue to release such films in the future.

The only difference with "Wind Whisperer" is that the investment in "Brokeback Mountain" is small, which did not cause a crash, otherwise MGM is really hard to say now.
