There are several kinds of film viewing meetings, and the film and television company organizes internal executives to watch the movie that has just been produced together, and then determines how much publicity money to invest, which is an internal viewing meeting.

There are also film and television companies that call people from the distribution company to watch movies together, and let the distribution company look at the quality of the movie port and decide whether to release it, which is also a kind of film viewing meeting.

At the film festival, buyers from all over the world are actively invited to watch movies together, which is also a kind of film viewing party.

Lin Ziyi invited Xu Nan to participate in the cinema viewing party, which was organized by Warner and invited leaders or executives of large and small cinemas in the United States to participate.

Here, the theater chain can intuitively feel the quality of the movie and determine how many films to be scheduled when the movie is released.

There are several movies released in the United States every day, and the theater chain is not charity, so it is necessary to carefully arrange the film schedule to ensure that the audience can see the most attractive movies and ensure the flow of people in the theater.

However, a film from a big company like Warner, or a famous production like "Pacific Rim", even if the quality is really rubbish, the theater chain will ensure a certain schedule.

Of course, if the quality is good, the theater chain will also give a higher schedule as appropriate, which is the meaning of the film viewing meeting.

"In other words, the infrastructure here in the United States is very average, it is difficult to move an inch without a car, and I have made so much money, is it so difficult to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a car?"

On the highway, Lin Ziyi couldn't help but complain while driving.

Xu Nan, a famous director, actually wanted to rub her car, which really made her speechless.

If it weren't for this guy's talent, I would have wanted to kick him down.

In the co-pilot seat, Xu Nan was almost lying down: "I won't stay long in the United States, just rent a car, there is no need to buy a car." ”

"Besides, isn't this still you?"

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

For talented people, people's tolerance is always higher, not to mention that Xu Nan can make money for her.

Maybe this is the little quirk of the famous director.

Lin Ziyi was an idle person, and continued to chat: "Then how long do you plan to stay in the United States?" ”

Xu Nan said: "When the film and television company is on the right track, I will go back, it is estimated that it will not be long, at most half a year." ”

"And then?" Lin Ziyi asked.

"What, then?"

"And then what are you going to do back?"

"Making movies, what are you asking, why do I make movies if I don't make movies as a director?" Xu Nan rolled his eyes.

"Keep making your bad movies?" Lin Ziyi laughed.

"Who said that I made a bad movie, strictly speaking, I made a thunder movie, do you think the movie is bad because you don't know how to appreciate it?" Xu Nan was furious.

The audience is always so vulgar that they rashly define and label a thing without an in-depth understanding of it.

"Okay, good, thunder films, thunder movies, not bad movies, then you plan to make thunder movies all the time, and you haven't thought about making a really wonderful movie, like those big directors?" Lin Ziyi did not dwell on the meaningless titles of thunder and bad movies.

"Why can't you, those big directors earn as much as me?" Xu Nan asked rhetorically.

Lin Ziyi shook her head: "Money doesn't mean everything, the influence of a truly famous director is not something that can be achieved by relying solely on money, if you keep making thunder movies like this, you will definitely make money, but your social status will never be improved." ”

"Money is not important, only a rich second generation like you is qualified to say that in fact, money is very important, and nothing can be done without money." Xu Nan looked ahead with his eyes empty: "Moreover, it's not that I can't make those big-budget and wonderful movies you said, but I don't want to make them for the time being." ”

"Poof." Lin Ziyi smiled, with a bright smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Nan's eyes widened.

Lin Ziyi's face is very good-looking, her smile is even better, bright and moving, but why is this smile so unpleasant.

"I remembered something glad of me." Lin Ziyi shrugged: "I once saw a joke where a man said that I didn't last less than ten minutes, but because I didn't want you to be too tired, it only took one minute." ”

"Hahahahaha

Lin Ziyi laughed even louder.

Xu Nan pouted: "Okay, you can laugh if you want, and when I become a great director, I will return this joke to you as it is." ”

"Well, I believe in your talent, that day won't be too far away." Lin Ziyi nodded solemnly: "I should be able to see it when I die of old age." ”

"Hahahaha." Lin Ziyi couldn't help but laugh again.

While laughing, the two came to a theater, which was also the location of Warner's viewing party.

At the door, Benjamin, the vice president of Warners Inc. and the director of "Pacific Rim," was welcoming the theater representatives at the door.

Lin Ziyi got out of the car, her long hair naturally poured behind her back, her eyes were bright, her facial features were brilliant and beautiful, and her black suit gave her an amazing aura.

It's like a queen descending.

"Hello, President Lin."

Vice President Warner and Benjamin greeted them with a smile, and the two bigwigs in the circle had an almost humble attitude in front of Lin Ziyi.

"Hello."

Lin Ziyi said hello, but her attitude was very cold.

What's the use of these two people having a good attitude, the key benefits are not given at all, if she doesn't want to tear her face, she really doesn't want to come to this movie.

"Hello, director Benjamin, I am your fan, I have seen several movies you made, they are all very exciting, and they are the guiding light in my life."

Xu Nan very enthusiastically shook Benjamin's hand in "Pacific Rim".

Benjamin had thin-haired, almost bald hair, and a face full of flesh, looking less like a director than a gangster.

But in fact, he is a famous director in the United States, and has shot several movies, one of which even exceeded $300 million at the box office.

Seeing Xu Nan so enthusiastic, Benjamin was a little happy in his heart.

This kind of flattery, since he became famous, has been heard countless times, but this time is different.

Xu Nan came with Lin Ziyi, and was obviously a high-level executive of the Imperial Cinema Line.

A high-level cinema executive admires him so much, and the benefits can be said to be innumerable, not to mention anything else, just in terms of cinema scheduling, there is such a cinema executive who admires him, and he is still worried about what film scheduling problems.

Before this, Benjamin heard that Warner and Emperor Cinemas had a conflict, and he was more worried that Emperor Cinemas would secretly reduce the schedule of the movie "Pacific Rim".

Although he is a famous director, in front of the two entertainment giants, he is still a little insufficient.

But now seeing Xu Nan worshipping him so much, Benjamin's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he chatted with Xu Nan with a bright smile.

As he chatted, Benjamin had the feeling of discovering a treasure.

This executive of the Imperial Cinema Line knows a lot about movies!

He actually knows the relationship between the camera and the space!!

God, he's my bosom friend!!

Benjamin and Xu Nanyue chatted more and more happily, and the two of them seemed to be friends for many years, and they laughed heartily from time to time.

Warner's vice president and Lin Ziyi both looked at this scene with strange eyes.

After a long time, Warner's vice president finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Director Benjamin, the movie is going to play soon."

Hearing this, Benjamin knew that this chat was coming to an end, and for the first time, he actually had a feeling of reluctance.

It was so pleasant to chat with this Imperial Cinema executive.

"Xu, you have an extraordinary understanding of movies, and I even think you are more suitable to be a director than me."

"It's a pity, the movie is about to be released, so let's exchange a contact information and talk after the movie is over."

Benjamin took the initiative to exchange contact information with Xu Nan, obviously unsatisfied.

If it weren't for the upcoming movie, he would have been able to continue chatting with Xu Nan.

Xu Nan's expression was similar to his, and there was light in his eyes: "Director Benjamin, in my heart you are the best director in the world, and I believe that your new work "Pacific Rim" must be a wonderful work." ”

"Hahahaha." Benjamin laughed happily: "Trust me, "Pacific Rim" will not disappoint you, this is a wonderful commercial special effects production, and it will definitely drive the audience crazy." ”

After exchanging contact information, Xu Nan and Benjamin reluctantly said goodbye.

When Lin Ziyi and Xu Nan disappeared from sight, the vice president of Warner finally spoke: "Benjamin, why are you chatting so happily with Xu." ”

Even though Xu Nan is gone, Benjamin still has a smile on his face, which is the happy smile when he meets his confidant.

"Don't you think he's funny and humorous, really, if it weren't for the fact that I'm married, I would even think I've met my soulmate." Benjamin smiled.

The vice president of Warner couldn't help but twitch: "Do you know his identity?" ”

Benjamin nodded: "Of course, he is a person from the Imperial Cinema Line, and maintaining a good relationship with him will help us improve the schedule of "Pacific Rim" in the Imperial Cinema Line." ”

"I'm here to work, you should be able to understand me."

The vice president of Warner couldn't hold back: "No, no, no, he is not an executive of Emperor Cinemas, he is the director of "The Hobbit Era", and what he is best at is touching porcelain big-budget movies." ”

"Benjamin, you've been lied to by him."

Bang.

A bolt from the blue.

Benjamin looked incredulous like a fool.

I thought we were friends, we were confidants, but I didn't expect you to have ulterior motives.

He felt a pain in his heart, as if his wife had been robbed, sour and unspeakable.

"So, this Xu came to watch the movie for" Benjamin said with difficulty, remembering that Xu Nan chatted with him just now, there was a kind of pain that Xiao Feng knew about his life experience.

The vice president of Warner nodded solemnly: "If I am not mistaken, his purpose is likely to be to touch our movie, just like "The Hobbit Era" touched "The Hobbit". ”

"This should be what Lin Ziyi means by the Imperial Cinema."

The vice president's expression was a little solemn, he knew that his company would not give Emperor Cinemas a share, and Lin Ziyi would definitely counteract.

But at most, he thought that Lin Ziyi would do tricks in the film arrangement, but what he didn't expect was that she actually brought Xu Nan over.

This trick is both unexpected and a little disgusting.
