When Paul and his party arrived in Hengdian, although his speed was not slow, he was still greeted by an empty villa.

"What about people?" He sat on the sofa with an unkind expression, looking at the few people in front of him who were silent, and his black face became even darker.

"You tell me, where did the two bastards Camuel and von Kikallo run to?!"

His voice roared like thunder throughout the room.

Everyone knows that these two people have absconded in fear of crime, and they disappeared together, as well as millions of dollars this month.

"Mr. Paul, now that the two of them have fled, and they can't find the culprit, I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with the painted skin crew." Director Xu looked quite sorry, and then sat down on the sofa without caring about himself.

"Inform the Chinese police and the American police! These two bastards who don't know whether to live or die! I'll see where they can go! Paul gritted his teeth and roared, his heart feeling greasy.

Discounted a lot of money, and still have to talk to this crew about business with Yan Yue?

What can't be done with the crew, aren't you just sitting here waiting to see how I do it?!

He really wanted to slap his ass and leave.

But he couldn't, so when he heard Lin Xiao coming, his face changed for half a second before he gritted his teeth and regained his composure.

"Ask him to come in."

"Mr. Paul." When Lin Xiao and Qin Xin came in together, they first saw Director Xu, who had a one-sided relationship.

Director Xu nodded in a friendly manner and did not speak again.

"Oh, my Chinese friend, Time Warner is so sorry for this incident." Paul walked over with a smile on his face and gave Lin Xiao a big hug.

"It was just an accident, no one thought that they would do such a thing." Lin Xiao smiled perfunctorily, and everyone sat down on the sofa.

"Director Lin." Paul was the first to speak, "Once again, I sincerely apologize, my presence represents Time Warner. Although the contract has been terminated for this film, it is because it was done by Camul. In fact, this termination is still negotiable. ”

"No, we didn't expect Time Warner to come so soon, and there were already other companies willing to invest in the film." Director Xu duly refused.

"Oh, that's a shame." Unsurprising, Paul made a look of regret, spread his hands and continued, "However, this is a matter of Time Warner's credibility, and we must compensate accordingly." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, this is Steve Keys's last fight, it is related to whether he will still sit on the throne in a few months, or retire to the mountains and forests, and it will involve a huge market of 1.3 billion people, especially this year, the three major ministries have also issued important provisions on the industrialization of all films, Warner has to, and must save his reputation.

"Director Lin, do you have any ideas? If we can meet it, we will try to meet it as much as possible. ”

Lin Xiao smiled, he was just waiting for Paul's words.

"Since Mr. Paul said so, I should do it. I hope this film will be released worldwide. He restrained his smile, this is not the time to die to save face and suffer crimes, there is only one chance, next time I wait for the giant Warner to put down the shelf, I don't know which year it will go "I believe in the quality of this film, of course, overseas distribution, we will give full authority to Time Warner for distribution." ”

Paul pretended to hesitate, and after a few dozen seconds, he nodded his fat and dark head, "Yes, but we have to get the samples as soon as possible to decide which schedule to schedule." ”

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just this request, it was a bargaining chip that he had prepared before he came, and he was completely in acceptance.

China is really a country of etiquette, and it will not be painful to seize such an opportunity.

He couldn't help but cast a kind glance at the young man in front of him.

"Also, I want to know some of Warner's theatrical schedules in the United States."

"What?!" The next sentence immediately shocked Paul and almost bounced off the couch. My tongue almost snapped. Several people around, although they didn't dare to speak anymore, they all stared at Lin Xiao with unrecognizable eyes, and some even opened their mouths for a long time without closing them.

What about the ceremonial state?! I can't play happily anymore!

"Lin, Director Lin, do you know what you're talking about!" Paul was surprised to stutter for the first time.

Even Director Xu cast an incredulous gaze.

The schedule can be described as the nirvana of the box office war.

Thailand, China's 1.2 billion astronomical box office, Guangguang Media has reached a higher level and completely made a name. However, the secret of its success is two words, and it is too clever to be coincidental.

Schedule!

Originally scheduled to be released on December 21, it was released on December 11 because it was completed ahead of schedule.

Ten days of life and death, he missed the showdown with Chen Long's zodiac, blood droplets and other blockbusters. But on the eleventh, he faced Feng Xiaogang's 1942, and Lu Chuan's Wang's feast.

1942 is the only one of Feng Xiaogang's 100 victories that lost. And the king's feast also has a bad reputation.

This vacuum period has caused the sequel "Thai Embarrassment" to inherit the sequel of "People in Embarrassment", and even shocked the entire December schedule!

Some miracles cannot be replicated because their premise is a coincidence.

Lin Xiao wants a schedule, it seems simple, in fact, Warner will definitely not push Chinese directors, they will replace the copyright at most, that is to say, if Warner has its own director to push, then it will inevitably choose the vacuum schedule of blockbusters.

The schedule will not tell the theater, Warner can only get it by relying on its own relationships, and it must have a showdown first, for example, I don't want to use the Matrix to snipe your kill Bill or the like, but I want to push a newcomer.

In this way, it is possible to get the slots of other companies.

Now Lin Xiao is about to schedule as soon as he opens his mouth, obviously planning to eat the vacuum period!

Lin Xiao sighed secretly, he didn't want to do this, it would seem too big, but he had a few films that he had to avoid it!

First, it is the global box office hegemon in 03, the last installment of the Lord of the Rings series, and the most reputable one, Peter. The Lord of the Rings directed by Jackson. The King Returns.

The second part, which is the sixth in the world for the whole year, is led by Will. Favreau's blockbuster film, Christmas Elf.

The third part is Warner's own film, The Matrix Boildown Track, The Matrix 3. Revolution directed by Andy and Rice.

If you bump into these three, a painting skin with a very different style, the box office will usher in a tragic battle!

Paul undoubtedly knew the filming process of Revolution, although the Matrix 2 has only just been released, and no one guessed that Hacker 3 would be released at the end of the year.

"Director Lin, forgive me for not agreeing!" Paul's cold sweat was secreting, and he hung on his black face like pearls, "SORRY, WE CAN INCREASE YOUR OVERSEAS SHARE OF THE FILM, BUT I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS." ”

"Mr. Paul." At this moment, Director Xu spoke: "I can understand Director Lin's thoughts. ”

"It's the first time I've gone abroad and faced the world. Naturally, I want to have good grades. Chinese films, for the U.S. market, are tentative, not pioneering. ”

She didn't say much, but she hit the nail on the head.

Instead, Paul calmed down, and just now he instinctively refused. However, if you think about it carefully, the gap between China's film style and the European and American markets is too big, and there is almost one in ten who can get affirmation.

More importantly, this was what Director Xu said, and he could hardly refuse.

"Mr. Paul, as Mr. Xu said, I just hope that there will be no accidents, in fact, the schedule from November to January can be arranged." Lin Xiao said while the iron was hot.

"And I want to focus on the Asian market."

Paul breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought about it for a long time, but still said cautiously, "This proposal, I need to see Director Lin's sample before I can decide." And I can't promise you, I have to report to my immediate superior. ”

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, "Then I still hope ......"

And also?!

Paul's eyes were bulging.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to slap Li Kebao and the missing Kamuel von Kikalo to death.

The first proposal is still reasonable, the second proposal is a bit unbearable for him, and there is a third one?

"Director Lin, I think your proposal can be reconsidered, after all, there is still a long time......" he said implicitly, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the beads of sweat that flowed, and stood out on the dark head.

"Mr. Paul, you haven't been in Hengdian for a long time, I'm afraid you have to rush to Singapore to deal with Mr. Li Kebao's affairs, right? So I think it's better to tell some things all at once. Director Xu reminded him appropriately on the side, especially the three words Li Kebao.

These three words now strike Paul as harsh. His lips moved for a long time and he didn't say anything.

"Director Lin, please speak." It took a few seconds before he sighed.

"Third, I want to know the schedules of The Lord of the Rings and the Christmas Elves."

The audience was silent, as if the picture had been frozen.

At this moment, not only Paul, but also several other foreigners, as well as the bodyguards, looked at him like ghosts.

Is this possible?

The schedules of these two films are definitely a secret among the secrets of the two companies, and even Warner cannot get it.

"Director Lin! That's impossible! Paul almost cried out in a lost voice.

He wanted to give himself a mouth right now.

Say what is as satisfying as possible? How could I feel that there was a young man sitting across from him?

It's obviously a beast that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

Director Xu also sighed, although she hoped that the painting could win glory for the country, but she also knew how difficult it was.

"Mr. Paul, I don't necessarily need it, but if you can know, I'd like to consider the schedule of the painting as appropriate." Lin Xiao said.

OK.

Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes looking at Lin Xiao were already full of vigilance.

The first time I filmed, it was still a trinity, and I thought about it so clearly, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to eat the vacuum period. Each of them seemed difficult to do, but in fact, there was hope that it could be done, so that he could not find a reason to refuse.

Especially when there is a Director Xu next to him.

It's a silent threat. And there is no need for Lin Xiao to say anything, Director Xu's identity is there.

He suddenly felt like he was dumb and ate coptis.

"So, Mr. Paul said yes?"

"Discretion, discretion......" The fat black man struggled to get a few words out between his teeth.

Lin Xiao nodded, "Okay, I still have one last ......"

"And ?!?!"

Paul almost screamed, and now he literally bit his tongue.
