『Chapter error, click here to report』

On April 21, 1978, the premiere day of "Moonlight Panic" arrived, the film investment was only 500,000 US dollars, but the publicity fund reached 2 million US dollars, and the investment in this film was even lower, only more than 300,000 US dollars, so that the actors needed to prepare their own clothes.

As for the release, because after the film was filmed, no film company was willing to release it, and finally forced the producer to set up a distribution company to distribute it himself, and through various means to hype up the popularity of the movie, one movie theater after another to talk about the release, and finally with the high reputation of the film, it won a box office result of nearly 60 million US dollars.

And now, because of Lei Weidong's financial operation, "Moonlight Panic" got 630 screens on the first day of release, of which 180 were provided by National Entertainment, and the other 450 were provided by MSI's cooperative theaters.

The leading theater under the National Entertainment Company not only hangs a large poster of "Moonlight Panic", but also a hydrogen balloon hangs a banner floating in the air.

Although the National Entertainment Company is not a professional film distribution company, the publicity is still impressive.

"Mr. Harry, what's the matter, are you not confident in your own films?" Lei Shidong held a cigar in his mouth, and said with a smile, although his speech was a little unfavorable and had an American flavor, Lei Weidong listened very clearly.

"How is that possible! I was just surprised, I didn't expect National Entertainment to put such a big effort into helping me promote the video! Lei Weidong responded with a smile.

"How do you know Chinese!" Lei Weidong, who had just answered, suddenly remembered that the old man in front of him seemed to be speaking Mandarin, and there was a surprised expression in his eyes.

"Haha! What is the difficulty of Chinese, you must know that I am a doctoral student at Harvard University, how can I be difficult in the language! Lei Shidong smiled: "This beautiful lady next to you, why don't you introduce me to it!" ”

"This is my wife Xu Xiaoying! She's going to college in the United States! Xiaoying, this is Mr. Lei of National Entertainment, a famous entertainment tycoon in Hollywood, if you have anything that can't be solved in the United States, you can just find her! Lei Weidong introduced the two.

"Welcome to America! Beautiful lady! Lei Shidong smiled: "I don't know if you want to go to that school, do you need my help!" ”

"No need, my husband has already arranged it for me! It's Columbia University in San Francisco! Being called his wife by Lei Weidong in public, Xu Xiaoying was very happy, and her face was full of smiles.

"Columbia University! It is one of the eight Ivy League universities, one of the five oldest universities in the United States, and one of the universities that has produced the most Nobel Prize winners. Lei Shidong said with a smile.

Originally, with Xu Xiaoying's level, that is, she could be admitted to a relatively ordinary American university, but Lei Weidong didn't want Xu Xiaoying to go through the motions casually and study abroad, and still hoped that she would enter a good school for further study.

So after looking for a Midea company and letting them operate it, Xu Xiaoying became a transfer student at Columbia University in a grand manner, and she can go in to study next month, now come over to familiarize herself with the environment, and at the same time help Lei Weidong deal with the affairs of the foundation.

Columbia University is very good, yes, but the Midea company, which specializes in serving the upper echelons of the United States, is also very powerful, and their face, the people on the board of directors of Columbia University naturally have to give, and of course, the cost between them will naturally not be less.

"Madame Ray! I have something to talk to your husband about, can you!! Lei Shidong said a little embarrassed.

"Absolutely!" Xu Xiaoying was very satisfied with the title of Mrs. Lei, and walked aside with a smile to chat with a group of female stars and wealthy ladies!

"Harry, why don't you call you Lei Shao!" Lei Shidong said: "I really envy you for having such a beautiful wife." ”

"If you are envious, you can find a confidant! There is nothing else in Hollywood, there are more beautiful women! Lei Weidong shrugged and proposed.

"Those women like my money, just play with it, there's no need to take it seriously!" For Lei Weidong's words, Lei Shidong was not angry. Hanging his cigar and continuing.

"Lei Shao, I didn't expect you to be a second-year student, you skip class every day, don't go to school, why do you bother to transfer schools!"

"How do you know I'm in Secondary 2 and there's a transfer to another school!! Are you sending someone to investigate me? Lei Weidong's tone changed, no matter who found out that he was investigated by others, he would not be happy, after all, everyone has secrets that no one knows.

"Lei Shao, don't be angry, I'm forced to do it." Lei Shidong said very frankly, "If it were you, you would know that others had evidence that was very unfavorable to you, and you would do everything possible to investigate it." ”

"What evidence do I have of you ignoring you?" Lei Weidong asked curiously.

"Is it true that you seized the shares of National Entertainment?"

"It's true, I've sent several groups of people, all of them world-renowned detectives, some of whom are retired FBI detectives. But none of them can figure out your situation, because you have never been exposed to this aspect of me again, and how did you get information about me. ”

Lei Shidong was also surprised, "To know what I did, I dare to guarantee that it has never been leaked, can you tell me how you know?" ”

Can I tell you that I really know about these things on the Internet in the afterlife, and if I did, I would probably have to send them to the laboratory for slicing. Regarding Lei Shidong's question, Lei Weidong said silently in his heart.

"Actually, I don't know, what you did!" Lei Weidong had a wry smile on his face, and his expression was ready to be an Oscar winner.

"Just because you squeezed my hand so much at the time, I said nonsense!"

"Nonsense!" Lei Shidong was taken aback and said, "How can nonsense be so accurate!" ”

"It's just a coincidence!" Lei Weidong shrugged: "I have studied your information and read your family history, and I was just joking with you at that time!" It's just that I didn't expect your reaction to be so big! ”

"That said!"

"Yes, I didn't think my joke was true! You've really embezzled a stake in National Entertainment! Lei Weidong spread his hands, looking like he believed it or not.

"What a superfluous act I am!" Seeing Lei Weidong's honest and harmless face, completely unaware, Lei Shidong wanted to commit suicide in annoyance, but now he didn't expect to give someone a handle in vain.

The scene was calm......

"Lei Shao! You're not going to leak this to the media, are you? Half a sound, Lei Shidong asked weakly, now Lei Shidong is a man-made knife and I am a fish, so I can only admit that Lei Weidong has slaughtered it.

"No, as I said last time, I am optimistic about the development of National Entertainment, and National Entertainment is now relying on the leadership of Mr. Lei Shidong to get better, how can I go against money!"

Lei Weidong replied with a smile, and not only me, but even Xiao Li, who was my translator last time, would not say it.

You must know that Lee Mingwoo has been in Hollywood for so many years, of course he knows what he can and can't say.

Listening to Lei Weidong's reply, although Lei Weidong didn't believe it, no matter what, Lei Weidong's answer always comforted Lei Shidong's mood, and the next topic of the two mainly turned to the movie "Moonlight Panic" that was about to be released.
