Chapter 356: The Insidious Davis

"Resident Evil" was postponed for a week after its release a month later, and the final box office was fixed at 4.1 billion.

As an opponent, "Zombie Attack" is a bit anticlimactic, and the final box office is fixed at 2.4 billion.

This box office is naturally not low, but don't forget that the investment in "Zombie Attack" is also surprisingly high, so in the end, it can only be regarded as capital preservation.

In addition, the most important point is the bet between Davis and Qin Yan, he obviously lost.

According to the original bet, the loser will lick the soles of the winner's shoes.

So now after seeing Davis lose, many netizens who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement have run to Davis's Weibo to make a fuss.

"Davis, don't be cowardly if it's a man, be brave enough to lick it!"

"I hope you can broadcast live when you lick the soles of Qin Yan's shoes, and I will definitely brush rockets for you."

"I wonder now if Qin Yan will deliberately step on shit."

"Cut, what a bullshit international director, it's not a defeat when he arrives in Xia Kingdom."

"Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, can't the people of the United States even be willing to gamble and lose?"

“……”

A group of netizens tried their best to satirize Davis, and Davis was furious.

He is a dignified international director, and he is one of the top 20 people on the list of directors of Hollywood, but now he is ridiculed by a group of poor and remote buns.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Davis was furious, but he really lost the bet.

He couldn't understand why his movie would lose to the other party, "Zombie Attack", as a typical Hollywood-style blockbuster, definitely couldn't find any fault, but why did the box office only achieve a mere 2.4 billion?

Is it that the audience of Xia Guo does not have a level of appreciation?

Or is the popularity of the male and female protagonists not popular enough, which in turn affects the box office of the movie?

He didn't think the heroine Xiao Muyu was very good, and he liked Yu Fei, the heroine of "Resident Evil", more than that.

Alas, a headache.

Because of his unfamiliarity with the Xia Guo market, Davis was really unsure of the reason for his loss for a while.

But whether he wins or loses, it is impossible for him to lick Qin Yan's soles.

When he said this bet, on the one hand, he didn't think that he would lose, and on the other hand, it was to attract the attention of Xia Guoren.

But who knows, he finally lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot.

Damn, you have to find a way.

If he really licked the soles of Xia Guoren's shoes, he would definitely be beaten to death by the arrogant and self-righteous Mi Guoren when he went back.

Just as Davis was frowning, a phone call came.

It turned out to be the chairman of Mikle Films, the boss behind Davis.

Davis answered the phone respectfully, not daring to catch a breath.

The big boss was very disappointed in his performance, not to mention losing to a Xia countryman, and the movie "Zombie Attack" didn't make any money, which is simply a shame!

Looking at the movies released by Hollywood in the Xia Kingdom, which one is not making a lot of money.

According to the survey of the major film companies of Hollywood, the people of Xia seem to have an inexplicable admiration for Hollywood movies, and subconsciously think that Hollywood movies are synonymous with "well-made, blockbuster, and worth watching", so they will give priority to Hollywood films released in the same period, which also makes the box office of Hollywood movies released in Xia Kingdom generally very high.

And what about Davis's "Zombie Attack"?

The script is provided by the Hollywood company, the main production team is also the past of the Miklele film company, and the special effects are also ...... by the special effects company of Hollywood, so it can be said that this film is a complete Hollywood film except for the actors.

But the result?

Not to mention that he didn't make any money, he even lost in the competition with a Xia Guo film!

Davis is really disappointing, the first shot to enter the Xia Guo Film Market did not go unt, but it was embarrassing.

One can imagine how angry the big boss of Mikle's company was at this moment, so he unceremoniously scolded Davis.

Davis can only endure it, who makes himself incompetent.

Fortunately, although the big boss scolded himself, he also gave a way to redeem himself.

He originally wanted to compare the box office with Qin Yan, and he also said that the movie would be released in Xia, but being released in Xia does not mean that it cannot be released in the Western Continent, and the final box office can also be the total box office in the world!

So, this game is far from over.

So, Davis had a sneer on his face, since the big boss has promised to let "Zombie Attack" be released in the Western Continent, then he will win.

With the influence and publicity ability of Mikle Films, the final box office of "Zombie Attack" will be at least doubled, and what will Qin Yan's "Resident Evil" compare with himself at that time?

Hehe, I'm afraid his movie won't even be released in the Western Continent!

The most xenophobic people will never watch a home-grown Xia Guo movie, so few film companies will take over the distribution of "Resident Evil".

Looking at the more and more comments on Weibo, Davis can't wait to refute them now, but it's not time yet.

Before that, he was ready to go and pit that nasty Li Yunlong.

Damn the dog, how dare you disrespect me Davis.

Dialing Li Yunlong's movie, Davis said: "Dear Lee, I have great news for you, I guess you must want to know very much!" ”

"No, I don't want to know at all."

Li Yunlong said unhappily: "Mr. Davis, I almost lost money by investing in your movie, so I don't plan to have any cooperation with you." ”

Davis was a little angry when he heard Li Yunlong's words, but his goal had not yet been achieved, so he could only temporarily suppress the unhappiness in his heart and said: "God, is our friendship measured by money, I am too sad for you to say that." Recently, I was planning to find a way to bring "Zombie Attack" to the Western Continent for release, and I wanted to take you to make money together, but now that you are like this, it will be ......"

Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this, and then became ecstatic.

What?

"Zombie Attack" is going to be released in the Western Continent?

It's a pie-in-the-sky thing!

So he hurriedly changed his attitude, suppressed his excitement and said, "No, Davis, you misunderstood me now. That ......, do you really plan to bring "Zombie Attack" to the Western Continent for release? ”。

The bustling film market in the Western Continent has always been a place for Hollywood's blockbusters!

If "Zombie Attack" can be released in the Western Continent, then it is certain that he will make a lot of money, and Ji Jialiang and Xiao Muyu can also take the opportunity to enter Hollywood.

And when Ji Jialiang and the two become famous in Hollywood, isn't King's Landing culture equivalent to gaining a foothold in Hollywood.

At this moment, Davis also smiled.

Look, the fish has taken the bait.
