Chapter 140: The film dealer is coming
"Damn, it turns out that movies can be made like this? It's really exciting, I've always been hooked throughout the movie, don't you say? ”
Although the film has ended, there are many movie lovers gathered at the door of the theater, reluctant to leave for a long time, and even some people are waiting for the next few shows to see if there are any remaining movie tickets, go back and watch it again, it is Matt who speaks, this film is simply too handsome, he was deeply attracted, and now it is also deposited in excitement.
Karl stood beside him with a gloomy face, feeling terrible.
"Hi, Carl looks like you're going to lose your bet, this movie is fantastic, I haven't seen such a good movie for a long time, I really don't know what the director thinks." Matt teased gloatingly.
"I admit it's an excellent film and it's exciting, but I don't think it's going to win an award." Carl's cooked duck beak is hard.
"That is, there are many examples of good movies not necessarily winning awards, and we will not give up until the end." Pooh is very indifferent on the surface, but sad and sad in the heart.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, don't you find this movie exciting? I don't know how they got it, it's like it's real, it's not like the movies I've watched before, it's just a fake skin, and when I stab it with a knife, it flows out like tap water. Matt danced next to him and talked about his thoughts on the movie.
"Alas, it's so exciting, I don't know what the screenwriter thinks, the plot of the story is really amazing, I follow the plot all the time, this feeling is amazing." Movie lover Alan agreed next to him.
"I'm so excited today, it looks like I'm going to lose sleep, no, I'm going to watch it again, will you go together?" Matt said unconsciously.
"You just thought, I've asked Walker to buy a ticket, I don't know if Bob is really looking forward to seeing it after he gets the ticket." Alan was a little nervous.
"Got a ticket, got a ticket." As soon as Allen's words fell, Walker squeezed out of the crowd next to him, and he still had a few movie tickets in his hand.
"There's no more for the next one. I bought the midnight one, and this is the last few tickets, and the rest are all gone. Walker gasped tiredly and handed the movie tickets in his hand to a few people.
"Wouldn't it be more exciting at midnight, then wait a little longer, just after watching the midnight show, we can go and have a drink." Matt said, taking the movie ticket
After the screening. The effect was completely beyond Li Yihua's expectations, Li Yihua's movies made according to the Hollywood model, knew that his film would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be successful to such a point, and the audience applauded and cheered.
This kind of scene made Li Yihua and them very excited, he knew that after this premiere, his film already had the conditions to open the European and American markets, just looking at the reaction on the scene now, even if there is no film critic's film review, this enthusiasm alone can attract a lot of filmmakers, no matter what the comments, the box office is the first place after all.
"Sir, please stay, may we talk?" A voice came from the back in vain, attracting everyone's attention.
"Do we know each other?" Li Yihua looked at the visitor, a middle-aged white man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and thought for a while, not remembering that he knew the foreigner in front of him.
“no! I know you, but you may not know me, a magical director from the East. The middle-aged white man shook his head and smiled heartily.
"What's wrong?" Li Yihua spread his hands, and the smile on his face completely expressed his current mood.
"I'm William of Timon Films, and I'd like to talk to you about representing the North American distribution of Chainsaw." The middle-aged white man looked at the puzzled crowd and said sincerely.
Hearing his intention, Li Yihua didn't expect that a film company would come to the door so soon, which is definitely something to celebrate, you must know that since Bruce Lee's death, Hong Kong movies have rarely landed in American theaters.
"DimensionFilms, which specializes in horror and thriller films?" Hearing this name, Li Yihua's heart jumped unconsciously, as a person in the future, he knows how strong this company is, the "Death is Coming" series, "Scream" series, "Christmas" series, etc., all of them are blockbuster films.
In the United States, in California, there are countless film companies, the most famous of which are naturally the eight major companies in Hollywood history, including MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, United States, 20th Century Fox, and Disney; Of course, after so many years of evolution, with the "Paramount case", the law ruled that film companies cannot own theaters and movie theaters, and with the end of the era of big studios, the prestige of the eight major companies has long been gone.
They may become part of a media conglomerate, such as Paramount's acquisition by Viacom; or continue to struggle to support and stick to the identity of the production company, but at any time it will fall into a huge deficit, like MGM. However, they are still the bosses of the Hollywood film industry and the makers of commercial blockbusters. And Dimen Pictures has also survived in this era, and it has survived very well, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.
"You know our company?" William looked at Li Yihua so surprised and asked.
The current scale of Dimen Film Company is not very large, and it has always been the agency and distribution of small-budget horror films, and among the many film companies in the United States, it can only be regarded as a small company.
Originally, like everyone else, William didn't attach importance to Li Yihua's opening movie "Chainsaw", in their impression, for Hong Kong movies are still in Bruce Lee's era, even if some limited horror films can't be compared with European and American horror movies, they are some that Europeans and Americans can't understand, and some don't know what to call movies.
But as an acting manager in a company, it is their purpose to not let go of every film, and when he sat in the theater and saw the first scene, his eyes lit up. Such a film, if it is released in the United States, will definitely have a large part of the audience, and it is also liked by young Americans, and he decided to win the North American distribution and agency rights of this film without thinking about it anymore.
"No, I just don't understand why you know that I am the director of this movie, it seems that it has not been announced to the outside world yet." Li Yihua pretended not to know.
William shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile on his face: "Only one Oriental film was nominated at the Venice Film Festival, and now the only audience is that you are the face of the East." So, I made a bold prediction. ”
"Congratulations, you got it right! But among foreign friends, you are the best Chinese I have ever seen. Li Yihua said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Foreigners don't know modesty, so they quickly accept it.
