Among the invitations placed in front of Wang Xiaohu was that of Long Mayer, president of Universal Pictures, who invited Wang Xiaohu to play a round of golf at noon. [Full text reading]

MGM's president, American gambling tycoon Kirk. Kercorion invited Wang Xiaohu to Las Vegas for a very wonderful evening.

Paramount's head family, Barry. Diller invited Wang Xiaohu to visit their company and have dinner together

The eight major Hollywood film companies, except for 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros., the other six have expressed their goodwill to Wang Xiaohu in their own ways.

20th Century Fox does not need to please Wang Xiaohu, because since 73, they have established a friendly partnership for 7 years, and the two companies can be regarded as helping each other, Concord needs 20th Century Fox's connections in Hollywood, and 20th Century Fox needs Concord's strong films with box office guarantees.

As for Warner Bros., they have been in a cold war with Concord for 7 years, and the two sides have not had much negotiation since they tore their faces in 73, but this time Warner Bros. has made a lot of efforts to get the media to smear "Myth", although they know that this will not do it at all, but as long as they can hit Concord, it is something they like to do.

Wang Xiaohu took out one of the invitations, which belonged to the wealthy MGM company, and when he saw this invitation, he smiled and threw it back on the table: "Las Vegas?" It's a pity I'm not interested in gambling. ”

"Golf is a very luxurious sport, and I don't have that spare time to waste on it!" Wang Xiaohu rejected Universal Pictures' invitation again.

In the end, he simply called Winterdur into the office, "Old Wen, in the coming week, I will pay attention to the filming of "First Blood", and as for all the calls or companies that come to me, you will carry it for me!" ”

Winterdur smiled like a fox and said, "Boss, you are such a cunning fellow, and I am responsible for this thankless work." ”

Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dividends"

“ok,ok！ Boss, I really like to do these nasty jobs for you. Winterdur hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, what a joke, now anyone can see the box office value of "Myth", he doesn't want to lose a good job in retirement.

Judging from the current box office results, even if there are no other companies to cooperate with the distribution, the box office of "Myth" will grow steadily, and you can see at this time how important it is to have its own cinema distribution agency.

Today, "Myth" is still screened by 920 theaters, the number seems to be a little small, but it can ensure that the attendance rate reaches 85%, and many audiences are queuing up outside the door to buy tickets, after all, there are too few theaters, and other theaters do not show it, so the tornado from China will still maintain such a force of more than ten winds.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wang Xiaohu doesn't understand the truth that the more theaters, the higher the box office profit, he decided to delay it a little longer, let the gangsters be anxious first, and take advantage of this rare time for him to experience M16 on the set of "First Blood".

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu, John Woo, and the recovered Stallone rushed to the set, and all the crew members applauded warmly for Wang Xiaohu's arrival.

Brian as Sheriff. Dannelly exclaimed, "Hey, boss, your movie is amazing, we watched it and talked excitedly for a night." ”

"What are you talking about?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Of course, it's a question of who is more powerful, the ancient kingdom of the East or the Roman Empire, and whether your weapons are as powerful as in the movies." Brian. Dannelly said.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, unexpectedly this Brian who played the sheriff in "First Blood". Dannelly, who would be interested in the military of the Cold Weapon Age, shrugged and said, "The comparison is not interesting, for me he is far less attractive than the saber and M16 in Rambo's hands." ”

Richard. Kriner, who plays the role of the colonel, said: "I agree with Tiger's statement, and in comparison, hot weapons are more deterrent and lethal. ”

"Ha, Richard, I wonder how good your shooting skills are?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Tiger, you're embarrassed, you know, there's not a single shot of me shooting in the script." Richard. Kriner said depressedly: "I think there should be more shots. ”

"Well, how about adding a shot of you shooting Rambo?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of the audience scolding you to death, you can give it a try." ”

"No, no, no, resolutely don't!" Stallone interjected, "It's very stupid to let a hero die, Kirk. Douglas insisted on that, and I had a big fight with him. ”

Kirk. Douglas was the original candidate to play Colonel Samuel, but he insisted that Rambo in the film should die at the end of the novel, and Douglas eventually quit due to disagreement.

A group of people began to discuss the ending of "First Blood", and Wu Yusen suddenly frowned and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Ah Hu, how did you arrange the ending of "Myth", I always feel that this is very unfair to the princess. ”

"How is it unfair?" Wang Xiaohu looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Do you mean immortality?" ”

"That's right! According to the plot, Tiger is the reincarnation of Meng Yi, and the princess is taking the elixir, she will always be young, I think even if the princess comes out of the suspended heavenly palace to find Tiger, after a few decades, Tiger is dead, the princess still leaves an empty dream, and the Meng Yi she wants still hasn't come back. Wu Yusen said very seriously.

Wang Xiaohu laughed: "Ah John, it seems that you haven't seen a lot of details, first of all, I let the princess be hit by Professor Gu, what does this mean?" I can explain that as long as she sheds a drop of blood, the effect of immortality will end, and her metabolic function will return to the level of a normal person, don't say anything like becoming an old witch all at once, we are making a movie. ”

"The princess became a normal person, so she naturally went out to find Meng Yi, and then she learned a lot of knowledge in society, and also knew that Tiger was not Meng Yi himself, but Meng Yi's reincarnation and other knowledge, and the next thing was a logical thing."

Wang Xiaohu explained patiently.

"But the real Meng Yi is dead! Before Wu Yusen's words were finished, he saw Wang Xiaohu raise his hand to interrupt him, Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I just said that the general of the Qin Dynasty raised his sword, but I didn't say that he really killed Meng Yi, can you understand this?" ”

"Ahh Wu Yusen's mouth grew when he heard this, and he stammered: "Also, also, that is to say, "Myth" can still shoot a sequel? ”

"I can say without ha!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "As for the sequel or prequel, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll think about it when I have time and mood, now I just want to burst m16!" Which of you will bring me an M16 and two magazines, and get me a better trainer. ”

Watching Wang Xiaohu happily go to practice guns, Wu Yusen was stunned and pondered in place for a long time, what Wang Xiaohu just said fully inspired his creation, it turns out that a successful movie can leave so much foreshadowing, and can also leave so much to continue the plot development

When Wang Xiaohu was in "First Blood" and suddenly slammed into M16, the distributors of the entire Hollywood were in a mess, and the box office results of "Myth" in the second week were still soaring, although there were only 920 stores, but the audience's enthusiasm for "Myth" was still undiminished.

To this end, the searchlight company increased the number of broadcasts of "Myth", from 3 to 5 shows per day, and the 200 theaters under Concord also made changes, but this still could not meet the demands of the enthusiastic citizens.

Audiences who have watched "Myth" want to go to the theater again to enjoy the shocking taste, and those who have not seen it are squeezed through the queue to buy movie tickets, but there are too many people who want to watch it, and 920 cinemas are far from enough.

For this reason, many American citizens called other theaters and asked them to release "Myth" as an agent to satisfy their viewing **.

The theatrical distributors didn't want to release "Myth", but Winterdur, the manager of Concord, said that their boss was not at home and he had no right to sign a contract.

Among the six major Hollywood studios, Luen Mei and Universal are the most anxious, and Luen Mei is now burning his ass, and Danny blames Victor to death for this.

"Consider, let the consideration hell, now it's okay, even no one can be found! If we had agreed to his request, we would have already started counting the money by now! Danny's fire was burning vigorously, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't wait to eat Victor's stance.

Victor also has a hard time saying that he regrets dying, but now not only Lianmei can't find Wang Xiaohu's figure, but even Universal can't find it.

Universal was anxious because they didn't see the value of "Myth" at the beginning, and they always thought that "Jaws" had box office appeal, but they didn't expect them to go away this time, and the box office of "Myth" almost exceeded 10 million US dollars in the first week, maybe this result is not very high, but don't forget that this movie was shot in the East, and it can be said that this is the best box office performance of the Oriental movie.

To this end, Robert, the representative of Universal's distribution department, squatted in Concord every day, waiting for Wang Xiaohu to appear.

At the same time, Paramount, Columbia, MGM, and Disney also sent representatives to live in the office of Concord and inquire about Wang Xiaohu's whereabouts from Winterdur every day.

They're in a hurry! Is Wang Xiaohu missing?
