"That's interesting." Hong Dali stroked his chin and said with a smile, "In other words, our "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Great Rivers" was blocked by them, and then their "Screaming Hour" and "Ace Air Raid" were not available. Are we stuck?"
"Sister Cai, where is Xiaoyi?" After Lao Deming went out, Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai and asked, "It seems that she went out after getting here. Do you know where she went?"
At this moment, one of the eight people was holding a report in his hand and was reading slowly: "Hong Dali is the only son of the Hong family and the Hong Weiguo family, a giant family in the Kingdom of Heaven. He is idle and does not do his job properly. He is nicknamed the super prodigal son. "
"This Hong Dali really messes up everything." The third person smiled and said disdainfully: "Okay, a round table meeting was held specifically for this little guy who spends money randomly. It is indeed a waste of time. .Since there is nothing else, let’s end the meeting and wait for the good news.”
Lao Deming was sweating profusely and walked around the conference room, checking the time from time to time. Finally, the door to the room was pushed open, and Hong Dali walked in leisurely. Luo Deming rushed forward and said anxiously: "Young Master, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"
Early the next morning, Caiwei Film and Television Company was on the ninth floor of Chenhui Building.
"Oh?" Hong Dali understood as soon as he heard what Lao Deming said: "Are they planning to compete with us at the box office?"
"What's the big deal that makes you so anxious?" Hong Dali asked strangely, "Nothing big has happened recently!"
""Screaming Hour" and "Ace Raid"?" The third person thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's play with them first with these two low-cost movies. By the way, these two companies The strength is not enough to enter the core layer of our Hollywood, so we need to promote it well, so it is best to win, and if we lose, it will not be a big deal."
Now everyone agreed, and the third person nodded and said: "Well, then this one is passed. Who knows which two movies will be released in the near future?"
A huge conference room.
"It's over there in Hollywood!" Luo Deming said depressedly: "The two Hollywood movies "The Screaming Hour" and "Ace Raid" have announced their premieres and release times in our country, and they are... on July 6th. , two hours ahead of us!"
"I agree with this idea." The first person to speak at this time nodded: "But I suggest that, to be on the safe side, we can consider increasing the number of films to two, so that at the premiere of "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword" , I think it will definitely look good.”
Hong Dali is engaged in almost all walks of life. One day he is engaged in catering, the next he is engaged in real estate, and the day after tomorrow he is playing games - who can get the exact information about such a person
The third person said slowly: "Ten million US dollars must be enough."
James smiled and said: "I understand, we will deal with this matter when we get back. These two companies will be very happy to get the support of our Hollywood." After saying this, James asked again: "By the way, because the world Regarding local film protection regulations, we want to compete head-on with them at the box office, and it will require a lot of public relations expenses. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Hearing what he said was interesting, the other seven people in the conference room also laughed.
"It doesn't matter that we have no choice, sir." At this time, the third person spoke slowly and said: "We are a film and television group, and we can't get involved in other aspects, but we only need to suppress the film and television industry in Heaven. Well, Their film "The Heaven Slays the Dragon" has already entered post-production, right? We just need to make a fuss about it. James, your company's "The Age of Magic" will be released soon, right? We might consider it, Put it on the same day as their "The Heaven and the Dragon Slaying the Great Rivers and Lakes"..."
"Then who has any movies that will be released in the near future?" A third person asked slowly: "This time we only need to target their box office revenue. Let them understand that even if there is a giant snapping turtle, their movies are not worth it. Mention it. We will reopen technical support as a weight when the time comes, and I believe they will seriously consider our suggestion of renting the Snapping Turtle. By then, haha, the Xuanwu myth will naturally be broken."
"That's okay, just do your best." Hong Dali wasn't worried at all: "Anyway, I believe the public's eyes are sharp!"
In fact, it is no wonder that he is so nervous. After all, the film and television industry in Heaven is far behind Hollywood, and he is inherently lacking in confidence. Now that he hears that Hollywood blockbusters are competing with him at the box office, anyone would feel unsure.
"Oh, oh." Hong Dali smiled and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it! Let's go and see it together in the evening!"
Hong Dali told Yu Meiqin and other children his glorious story, from the concert to buying a house and land, and then to the family meeting to save the big turtle. The story was so exciting that the children were all excited. I heard it and clapped my hands and cheered, and I was hooked.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, there is Hollywood.
The voice of the person reading the document was vaguely James, who had had contact with Hong Dali before!
"As for the box office, it doesn't matter if it's high or low. Besides, isn't the revised movie pretty good?" Hong Dali said strangely: "But speaking of which, why can Mao's movie be released in our country, but ours can't be released in theirs?" Released? What’s the point?”
In the center of the conference room is a huge round table. There are eight seats around the round table, and there is one person sitting on each seat. At this time, the light in the room was deliberately dim, making it difficult for everyone to see clearly, and it was full of a sense of mystery.
…
Today, the occasion where these eight people are present is one of the most important meetings in Hollywood, the roundtable.
"I refuse this!" James shook his head decisively: "It will take at least two to three months for my "Magic Age" to premiere. If it is earlier, it will obviously be insufficiently prepared and the audience will not be able to premiere. Will buy it."
The eight people who can sit here are all top figures from the major Hollywood companies. They can be said to be the kind of people who can make the entertainment industry tremble a few times just by stamping their feet.
"Others, let me take a look." James looked at the report in his hand: "Tomorrow is the first game carnival he created. It seems to be related to online games and the like."
"That's pretty much what it means." Luo Deming said bitterly: "These people are obviously planning to compete with us at the box office, but we can't protest against this kind of thing. It's really annoying!"
"However, this person is very lucky. He likes to engage in any industry, but he makes a lot of money in everything he does. Recently, he rescued the big turtle Xuanwu, which triggered the advent of the era of economic development in the Kingdom of Heaven."
"It must be!" Luo Deming said: "July 6th is the weekend, and these two movies will be released in China at the same time. I'm afraid that our box office will be..."
"It's because of the national film and television protection regulations." At this time, Zhang Cai explained to Hong Dali: "Every country has protective measures for local films. For example, our country only imports about thirty American films for domestic release every year. This It is only under the WTO agreement that there are so many, otherwise there will be fewer. These movies have to go through layers of approval. It is not just a matter of quality. The key issue is that the number of screens in a country is limited, and there are so many movies every year. If you put it up, naturally the golden water tower will get the moon first."
"Specific..." Mentioning this, James spread his hands helplessly: "After all, this person has only recently entered our field of vision. The investigation from above was relatively late. Specific information was not available on many things. The above are also very helpless. . But this Hong Dali usually gets everything and doesn’t have a specific target, which leaves our intelligence personnel helpless. The only thing we know so far is that this Hong Dali is very lucky, that’s all.”
It can be said that every time a roundtable meeting is held, it is when Hollywood faces the most important things.
"Okay, that's no problem!" With these words, James immediately laughed and said: "Two small and inferior companies can suppress them and they can't hold their heads up. From this point of view, they must feel quite uncomfortable. ,Ha ha."
"What can I do about this?" James shrugged: "The Kingdom of Heaven has always been the most important enemy of our country, the United States, and the United States. It is absolutely impossible to launch a war, so we can only fight an economic war. Now the higher-ups want us to find a way ourselves, saying To be honest, I don’t have much to think about at the moment.”
He said it was helpless, and it was true.
"Well, these are just generalities. Do you have any specific content?" At this time, a slightly older man sitting on the other side asked: "Dear James, you know, these are just these, for us Nothing worked. The only information I got from the information was that this was a very lucky person—nothing else."
"Well..." James thought for a while: "Currently there are two films that are about to be released, "The Screaming Hour" and "Ace Raid", which were shot with about 10 million yuan, a horror film and a war film. Although the production cost is higher than The cost of "The Sky and the Dragon Slaying the River" is less than RMB 15 million, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I just need to compete with them at the box office."
"I second the motion." "Second the motion." "Second the motion."
"Okay, then, I'll go back first." Luo Deming said, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and going out.
"Just kidding." The other one smiled disdainfully and said: "We in Hollywood are asked to suppress Hong Dali, but we don't even have detailed information. How can we do it? There have been legends of the Four Holy Beasts in the Kingdom of Heaven since ancient times. Now that one The snapping turtle is deliberately promoted and worshiped by the Kingdom of Heaven as a god, which has a great impact on morale. The last time you went to request to rent the snapping turtle was unsuccessful, what should we do now to suppress the morale of the other party? "
The atmosphere was relaxed at this time, and the third person asked with a smile: "Well, is there anything else? Has Hong Dali done anything else recently?"
"Young Master, have you forgotten?" Zhang Cai smiled and said: "Today is the day of the first game carnival. Xiaoyi went there to check."
Hong Dali didn't care. Mr. Jin Yong Jin's books have been sold in dozens of countries on the earth. The plots in "Arms and Lakes" are almost all good stuff. He really doesn't believe that "Arms and Lakes" can't beat him at the box office.
