This sounded like a kind of self-boasting to the other party, and he sneered in his heart. Even Pedro himself felt that this was a bit of a gold on his face. It didn't take long for one of them to know that Pedro's words were true, and that the loss was not small, it was simply too great.

This attitude is shared by almost every boss Pedro has found in all sorts of ways, no matter how nice and polite they say before they say no.

After returning to the hotel after a day of traveling, the tired Pedro came in and lay on the bed, and after the assistant went back to his room to rest, he couldn't help but curse something, and then picked up the phone and called Guo Zhuocheng's home. Now because Qionghai Island has installed program-controlled telephones, and Qionghai Island has been deployed to Hong Kong, so Qionghai Island can be directly connected to many countries, including the United States and Europe, for international long-distance calls.

Guo Zhuocheng's contact with Princess Madeleine is much more convenient now, and he always has time to talk for a while a week, but most of the time it is Princess Madeleine who takes the initiative to find Guo Zhuocheng, it is really because Guo Zhuocheng is too busy, not because Guo Zhuocheng is hypocritical or machismo.

Pedro didn't complain too much on the phone, and he didn't dare to complain, only asked Guo Zhuocheng to extend the time limit, not to put the screening schedule of the film in January next year, let alone expect it to be released in December this year. If they are so eager to release the film, those distributors who hold their heads high will be more proactive, they will be more arrogant, and their heads will be higher, so that not only will it be difficult to negotiate cooperation, but it will also be difficult to make high profits even after negotiation, and most of them will be eaten by the other party.

Listening to Pedro's low-spirited words and imagining the resentment in his heart, Guo Zhuocheng just smiled generously and said, "Since this way doesn't work, let's try another way." Then advertise in the media and charter a few theaters in the city at a high price. It's just that it costs a little more money, and now their refusal is not made after watching the film, but a decision made without watching the film, which shows that we still have opportunities and hope, doesn't it? Mr. Pedro. ”

Guo continued: "We are not like independent filmmakers, not people who don't have money, we have money, we just borrow their screening platform. Note that it's us who pay to rent their platform, which are not two concepts at all. I think there's going to be a chance, just wait. Spend a little money to do an outdoor advertisement and a newspaper advertisement. There may be a surprise waiting for you. ”

Pedro said helplessly: "Okay, I'll still find someone, I'll try for it." But I'm more expecting the surprise you have to say, and to be honest, I'm a little frustrated. ”

Pedro, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't need to be a director to find advertisers, and someone arranged by the IIC company would contact him. Because they are more familiar, the action will be faster.

Lying back on the bed, he was thinking about what the opportunity Guo Zhuocheng was talking about, and he felt that Guo Zhuocheng didn't seem to think that it would have to cost much money to achieve good results, as if he was just doing it to comfort me as a person: "What opportunities are waiting for us?" ”

Pedro had a good hunch. Guo Zhuocheng is indeed waiting for an opportunity, he doesn't want to really throw in 10 million dollars for the release of a movie, not reluctantly, but unnecessary.

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but look up at the world map on the wall. Xin said: "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" You won't stop moving in this life, will you? ”

The next day, some new face advertisements appeared on outdoor billboards in several major U.S. cities. New advertising images have also appeared in several newspapers, and the newly added advertising content is very simple, almost only one sentence, however, it can also be said that there are two sentences, one in English and one in Chinese, but the content is the same, that is, "a China you don't understand".

The content is so simple that many people don't understand what this advertisement means, whether it is the first part of a continuous advertisement, or just to promote China, in order to arouse readers, viewers, and citizens curious about China. Are they trying to lure Americans to China to find out?

People who saw it also thought about it after seeing it, and some ignored it, but because there were very few Chinese who advertised in the American media or outdoor billboards, and only some Chinese who opened restaurants in the United States had advertised in some other tabloids, it still attracted people's attention.

However, people pay attention not to the content of the advertisement, nor to the company that advertises, but only to the act of advertising: "Chinese also advertise? ”

The first day of advertising naturally helped Pedro with little help, and he and his assistants returned almost without success, but not without success, and sporadically someone promised to appear at the reception of "The Sinking of the Petrel".

The next day, the advertisement appeared on several TV stations, and the content of the ads on the TV stations and newspapers changed a little, but the change was very small, and it was still launched in Britain and China at the same time: "A China you don't know, a movie, a landscape".

But the next day, Pedro felt a little different, that is, someone noticed the advertisement, and some keen businessmen felt that the advertisement was not small. You must know that advertising on TV stations, newspapers, and outdoors is not something that can be achieved with a small amount of money, and it is impossible to do this without a hundred thousand dollars, and in such a short period of time, it is necessary to remove the advertisements of other companies before they can squeeze in, which is not even something that money can do.

Americans all advocate strength, and when they have strength, their attitude is different.

Not only did the publisher's tone change a little, but media reporters also noticed and began to look for the person and background who was investing in a large-scale ad in the United States for the first time.

Pedro was a little pleased to invite more people to the reception for The Sinking of the Petrel.

However, no distributor has agreed to buy and distribute the film, let alone disrupt the original plan to insert "The Sinking of the Petrel" into the existing broadcast plan.

While Pedro continued to run around, news appeared in the Western media: there were demonstrators, demonstrations, demonstrations and demonstrations on the streets of Grenada, demanding that the government provide the people with their livelihoods, demand that the government return the confiscated land and property, and demand that restrictions be relaxed on them......

However, these people were suppressed by the police, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Because the media used uncertain words, Gen didn't know how many people died and how many were injured there, and the pictures in the media were blurry, so it was impossible to tell whether the people who fell to the ground were dead or injured, or even whether they were police officers or civilians.

However, the Western media unanimously condemned the atrocities of the Grenada authorities, demanding that the Grenada government release the arrested people, severely punish the executioners, and give freedom to the people.

A day later, the Western media again hyped up the fact that a Torpedo Boat of the Grenadan military was chasing a normal fishing foreign-Barbados fishing boat in the open sea, and that the Grenadian soldiers on the warship not only used machine guns to strafe the fishermen, but also used the warship to ram the fishing boat, resulting in the tragedy of three dead and five injured and eight missing.

Western countries strongly condemn the use of bullets by the Grenadian army against unarmed fishermen and reserve the right to take military punitive action.

Soon after, the Eastern Caribbean Organization held an emergency meeting that night, and the participants unanimously demanded that the United States send troops to Grenada to completely overthrow this country that disregards human lives and wantonly kills civilians.

Hearing the news, Guo was happy: "This is the same as the historical US invasion of Grenada." America, you finally can't help it, okay! ”

Sure enough, the U.S. government soon issued a statement strongly condemning the humanitarian disaster caused by the military and police of Grenada, and the U.S. government is seriously concerned about the development of the situation, and at the same time expresses its grave concern about the expatriates living in Grenada, and if necessary, the United States will dispatch warships to withdraw the American expatriates here to the United States.

In the previous life, under the pretext of rescuing the American diaspora in Grenada, the United States concentrated its superior forces and made a quick decision to overthrow the coup regime and support a new pro-American government, while at the same time deterring the pro-Soviet and Cuban political forces in other Central American countries to resist the infiltration and expansion of the former Soviet Union and Cuba in Central America.

At the same time, the United States has stepped up diplomatic activities with their allies, as well as with China and other countries, and Guo has received a request from the relevant departments for the ambassador of the U.S. Embassy in China to meet with the Chinese foreign minister.

Guo was overjoyed and looked forward to the United States hitting a wall in Grenada and bleeding in Grenada. He knew that with Halleps' activities in Grenada and Cuba, the other side must have been prepared to welcome the US military and would definitely surprise the United States.

None of this is his concern, whether Pedro Almodóvar's activities in the United States will change as he expected. In order to establish good relations with China before the war, will the US government relax or even encourage the screening of Chinese films in the United States, just as China and the United States have allowed American films to be shown in China after improving relations?

If it weren't for the good relations between the two countries, China would not have allowed "The First Blood," a film that is invincible to Americans, to be screened on a large scale in China. You must know that China has always promoted that the United States is a paper tiger, and the Chinese are invincible.

Even "Superman" is not in line with China's consistent propaganda, how can Americans be the heroes who save everyone in crisis, and how can they use the film to promote the prosperity and wealth of the United States?

As soon as these blockbusters were screened, Chinese, especially many young people, knew that the United States was not a paper tiger in propaganda, but a country of cowhide coaxing, and their hearts slowly changed.

Some people are starting to look at the United States with normal eyes and see the outside world, which is of course a good thing. However, many people have gone to extremes and have begun to blindly worship the United States and Western countries.
