The reason why Qi Pengduo's remark has such a huge effect is that China has never said this or similar kind of cruel words before.

There are too many interpretations of this sentence, but many people think that China said this sentence purely to show that China will take the road of strength, and it is likely that as the war progresses, China will send troops to Grenada to help the island nation against the United States.

Some people also analyzed China's appearance during the Falklands War, believing that this was a pretext for China to openly sell weapons to Cuba and Grenada, and that it would seriously threaten the security of the US military.

Some even assert that the US aircraft carrier fleet will suffer a heavy blow......

It seems that in order to corroborate the statements of these current affairs analysts, the United States and the Soviet Union have sent special envoys to China urgently.

Just when the world powers were urgently mediating over the Grenada affair, under the "guidance" of the relevant departments of the US government, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Film Company were forced to sign a new cooperation agreement with the new Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company on "The Sinking of the Petrel."

Obviously, the U.S. government was also guided in some way to do this in order to show its closeness to China.

After some bargaining, Maple Leaf Film Distribution, which was acquired by IIC, reached the following conditional cooperation with Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Films:

If "The Sinking of the Petrel" receives a good response from the audience at Maple Leaf Film Distribution, the two companies will support the screening of "The Sinking of the Petrel", and the specific requirements are: if the attendance rate of the 300 theaters under the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company exceeds 50% within two weeks, the two companies will immediately allocate no less than 300 theaters to screen "The Sinking of the Petrel", and the proportion of their share is determined according to the average attendance rate of each week:

When the average weekly attendance rate is less than 50 percent, the split ratio is 3:7. When the average weekly attendance is 50 to 70 percent, the split ratio is 4:6.

When the average attendance rate for a week exceeds 70 percent, the split ratio is 5:5. When the average weekly attendance rate exceeds 85 percent. It is divided into 6:4 ratios.

It was also agreed that when the average weekly attendance rate exceeded 85 percent, each company would immediately provide no less than 1,000 theaters to screen "The Sinking of the Haiyan", at least half of which were in large and medium-sized cities.

The breach of contract and economic losses incurred by the two companies as a result will be borne by the two companies themselves.

When the representatives of the two companies came at the request of the government, they were very worried that the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company would take the opportunity to blackmail them into signing an unreasonable agreement that was too harsh, and they were very disgusted by the government's behavior, but after the agreement was signed, they found that the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company was still kind, and offered to gradually increase the share by meeting the conditions. Gradually provide more theaters.

In the view of the two deputies, it would be good if the Chinese-invested "The Sinking of the Haiyan" could reach 20 percent of its attendance, and it was impossible to achieve 50 percent of the attendance, even if the average American blockbuster wanted to achieve this attendance rate within the first two weeks.

The regular attendance rate of excellent foreign films screened in the United States is about 20 percent at most. Foreign films that have a lot of publicity, are of good quality, and are more in line with the tastes of American audiences have an attendance rate of about 30 percent. It is difficult to exceed 40 percent at the highest, not to mention that there are not so many theaters showing at the same time, and those foreign films that have achieved 30 percent attendance are at most dozens of theaters at the same time. Three hundred, do you think you don't want the audience to fill in? Hehe.

Regarding the conditions proposed by the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company itself, the two representatives laughed secretly in their hearts. But in order to prevent accidents, they also proposed that the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company could not distribute movie tickets for free to the outside world, and could not organize overseas Chinese in the United States to come to watch.

Of course. If the attendance rate of "The Sinking of the Haiyan" really exceeds 50% by then, they will not be disgusted by giving up 300 companies to screen this movie, after all, there is still money to be made, and its profits are higher than ordinary movies. Its 3:7 split is also in line with their psychological expectations.

As for the ratio of 5:5 and 6:4. That's not even a matter of thinking about it, it's just that it's written beautifully and it seems that your company is generous. If it's not for lawyers, they want to write "If the average attendance rate for a week exceeds 99 percent." The ratio is 10:0", which makes it look even better. Aren't you very confident? Then you can increase the attendance. When the attendance is 100 percent, we will hand over all the income to you, hehe.

On the look, both of them believe that this agreement is not a loss, and it can be regarded as a fair and reasonable agreement. What they don't know is that fortunately they don't have a fever in their heads, and they don't write the sentence "If the average attendance rate of the week exceeds 99 percent, the ratio is 10:0", otherwise they would have to vomit blood in anger.

The two delegates happily returned with the signed agreement between the two parties, after which they put them on the shelf. Both executives believe that their companies have nothing to do with "The Sinking of the Petrel" anymore, and there is no reason for the government to trouble them anymore and force them to contact Maple Leaf Film Distribution.

The only thing that made the Universal Pictures representative a little depressed was that he had just bought Maple Leaf Films Distribution from the company's CEO, Jianyì, and found that IIC had already taken the lead and bought it in a short period of time. Although that company is heavily in debt, their 300 theaters are high-quality resources.

With the backing of the IIC, the new Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company will definitely increase its influence and will likely become a competitor to Universal Pictures, because everyone knows that the IIC is not bad for money, and what they have is money.

……

Soon, Pedro's film reception took place as scheduled.

The number of guests was so large that even the Chinese embassy could not have imagined that so many people would attend the reception, more than the premieres of American blockbusters.

Not only did the directors and entertainment journalists invited by the embassy and Pedro appear, but also several famous film critics, as well as many chemical counselors from many countries who did not receive invitations, including those from the Soviet Union and East Germany.

The Chinese Embassy also arranged for some overseas Chinese in the United States to make up the number of people who came to make the reception look more lively, but now those places are occupied by reporters who have flocked to the hospital, and those overseas Chinese who have been invited to come have to be arranged to rest and drink tea in another place.

After giving a warm welcome speech, Pedro led the actor and actress and several other main supporting actors to thank the guests. After that, the organizers of the conference began to screen "The Sinking of the Petrel".

At the beginning of the film, there was some low voice in the room, and with the light reflected from the screen, Pedro could see the disdain on the faces of many people. In particular, the film critics and entertainment reporters who came at the orders of their superiors were full of impatience, and in their view, the film was purely taking advantage of the political crisis in Grenada, and the psychology of the United States desperately wanting China's support, or at least not to make trouble, so that they all had to come and cheer.

Even in Western countries, which boast of their freedom, they can't do anything without politics, and many times everything they do is out of the same need for politics.

However, as the film progresses, and as the plot reaches its climax, the sound in the venue gradually becomes quieter and quieter, leaving only the voices of the actors and the sound of the projector.

After half an hour of screening, someone began to exclaim: "My God, isn't this movie really made by Americans?" ”

Some people exclaimed: "Isn't this an American blockbuster?" ”

However, these voices soon died down, and everyone was immersed in the atmosphere created by the film, rejoicing and sorrowing with the joys and sorrows of the heroes and heroines.

When "end" appears on the screen and the music of the film plays and the lights on the ceiling come on, the audience still sits quietly, and the crowd bursts into muffled sobs.

While the actors and embassy staff were still wondering if the film had failed, Pedro was filled with ecstasy, because he knew that the film had succeeded, at least it had touched the audience.

The audience here is not an ordinary audience, but the most discerning audience.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Suddenly, there was a monotonous applause in a corner.

In less than a second, the entire screening hall burst into ......applause, and the audience all stood up.

When Pedro led the heroes and heroines and the main supporting actors to the rostrum, the applause poured in like a tide, and countless people shed tears of excitement and sorrow on their faces, and they were still immersed in the great love of the hero and heroine......

The next day, the New York Times published a film review entitled "The Incredible It, Him and Them." This chapter is not long, saying that he as an audience was fortunate to see the movie "The Sinking of the Petrel" invested by China and shot by a famous Spanish director in advance, he was stunned by the content of the film and the fact that China and Spain can produce such a wonderful movie, and until now he has not let his love be normal, he can't say anything, he can only say that this is definitely a good movie, and it is a great movie that may surpass "First Blood".

I don't know if it's because of a coincidence, or because someone is organizing it behind the scenes, or because film critics and reporters are jealous, anyway, although the relevant media in the United States reported the news of "The Sinking of the Petrel", they all said that the movie was good and incredibly good, but no media made a detailed analysis, affirmation or refutation of the content, plot, and skills of the film.

On the contrary, it was the countries outside the United States that gave the film real reviews, most enthusiastically in Spain and the friendly European countries of Spain, and the long reviews appeared not only in entertainment newspapers and magazines, but also on radio and television.
