As the news of the release of "Fast and Furious 3" continues to spread, more and more fans can't wait and start watching "Fast and Furious 1 and 2".
At this time, Hengdian Cinemas saw an opportunity and obtained the exclusive screening rights of "Fast and Furious 1 and 2" with Tianwang Film Company to re-screen it in major cities across the country.
"The midnight show of "Fast and Furious 1 and 2", all priced at 10 yuan, will allow you to rediscover the exciting journey of the past!! Hengdian Cinema is waiting for you!!"
As soon as this screening plan came out, it immediately aroused the support of fans. That night, dozens or hundreds of people entered the cinema to watch "Fast and Furious 1 and 2". In the following days, more and more people came to watch.
The more there are, the more popular they are even than those new movies.
Other theater chains suddenly woke up and rushed to Tianwang Film and Television Company: "I want to get their screening rights too!"
"I'm sorry, Hengdian Cinema signed the exclusive screening rights."
"Exclusive? WTF!!"
A more eye-catching theater chain suddenly set its sights on the completed "Apocalypse 3" and secretly approached the distribution department: "We, the Wanda Cinema Chain, want to get the exclusive screening rights for "Apocalypse 1 and 2"."

On April 7, Wang Shang appeared at the closing party of "Iron Man".
"This is a great movie!!"
"Our goal is a box office of 600 million US dollars!" At the closing banquet, Disney's producer Oni confidently told the reporters and guests.
He is indeed very confident in this movie. It has a large fan base. It has an elite production team, and the 3D technical team is the top special effects team of Tianwang Special Effects. The most important thing is that after producer Oni watched the filming footage
, I discovered that Robert Downey Jr. simply played Tony Stark to perfection.
Everything indicates that this movie will have a high box office in the future. It also indicates that "Iron Man" will become a series of movies. As long as the sequel is not bad, the box office will be as high as "Spider-Man"!!
At this time, producer Oni couldn't help but look at Wang Shang, who was chatting and laughing with others. His heart was complicated, admiring and jealous at the same time. The Forbes rankings had come out, and Wang Shang's net worth also appeared in the top 200 of the world's richest people.
above.
Oni looked at his young face and looked at his old appearance. He sighed helplessly.
Wang Shang did not know the feelings of Disney producer Oni. At this time, he was chatting with some reporters and celebrities. Wang Shang did not think socializing was a difficult thing, but it was a pleasure. He could learn more about himself through chatting.
Things you don’t know can help you adjust your mood and expand your horizons. At the same time, you can also get to know these guests, which will be helpful in the future.
The guests who chatted with Wang Shang also felt that Wang Shang was an approachable person, easy to talk to, and very humorous. Coupled with Wang Shang's identity and wealth, they couldn't help but want to make friends with him.
Amy is a reporter for "Variety" newspaper. Today she got the opportunity to come to the wrapping party of "Iron Man" and interviewed many stars. She learned a lot and was very happy.
Just when the wedding banquet was about to end, suddenly Amy's cell phone rang.
"Amy. I heard that the boss of Tianwang Film and Television Group was at the closing banquet, right?"
Amy: "Yes."
The other party said anxiously: "Quick, interview him. I just saw a piece of news on the Internet that his company's "Fast and Furious 3" will be officially released in China on May 1."
"Ah!" Amy exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth. She had quickly seized a huge opportunity and nodded repeatedly with a blushing face, "I understand what you mean."
After hanging up the phone, Amy calmed down her excitement, looked around at other competitors, and then came to Wang Shang pretending to be nonchalant: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Amy, a reporter from "Variety Show".
Nice to meet you."
The people nearby saw a beautiful woman with wavy blond hair approaching Wang Shang. Their eyes couldn't help but think that Wang Shang blinked ambiguously, and then left knowingly.
Wang Shang looked at the pretty beauty in front of him and took the initiative to come closer. He couldn't help but take a closer look. She looked good and had a strong charming style. Unfortunately, the pores on her face were a bit enlarged. Wang Shang made a vague comment and stretched out his hand politely: "You
good!"
"Mr. Wang, I am a fan of "Fast and Furious". I heard that "Fast 3" is scheduled to be released in China on May 1st. When will it be released in North America? I can't wait!" Amy said smartly
He asked in the tone of a fan, which made Wang Shang feel much more comfortable.
"For the release in North America, we still need to contact the distributor, go through censorship, and negotiate with major theaters to arrange the schedule, so May is probably too late."
Amy then asked some questions about the release of "Fast and Furious 3" and Wang Shang's new movie. In order to promote his movie, Wang Shang answered them in detail.
Soon after, under the host's announcement, the closing party of "Iron Man" came to an end.
The entire wrap-up party was very successful. In the afternoon of the same day, major entertainment times in North America reported on the wrap-up of "Iron Man". At this time, "Iron Man" also released stills in a timely manner, triggering a large number of fans of the Iron Man hero to watch.
At this moment, the "Variety" Times broke the news that "Fast and Furious 3" has been completed and is ready to be released. It also reported in detail the interview with Wang Shang. Not long after this newspaper was released, it was criticized by countless fans
It was sold out, and then more and more news about "Speed 3" spread to the United States through the Internet.
The fame and fans accumulated over a long period of time are ten thousand times better than any publicity. The news instantly spread throughout North America, and then spread across the ocean to Europe and the world.
Countless hungry fans are excited!!
While Wang Shang was still resting in the hotel, the distribution executives from Paramount, Universal, Disney and other companies came to the hotel in an attempt to grab the distribution rights before the competitors could react. The result was seen as soon as they arrived at the hotel.
The eggs of those "acquaintances" were all shattered on the ground.
When Wang Shang was found, the distribution directors of several companies almost started fighting.
Seeing a few people glaring at me, I stared at you, as if they were about to perform Chinese martial arts such as killing pigs in their arms, severing the legs of descendants, etc. Wang Shang quickly stopped: "Don't look for me, I will do it later."
Arrange for someone to negotiate with you."
That night, Wang Shang was invited to Robert Downey Jr.'s home. Naturally, he received a warm welcome and a lot of toasts to express his gratitude to Wang Shang.
"My new movie has a character who is not the protagonist. I wonder if you would like to come in." Wang Shang asked while continuing to drink.
Downey didn't say anything, and directly agreed: "Absolutely no problem, I'll be there when you call."
"You will never regret it." Wang Shang patted him on the shoulder and said.
The next day, Wang Shang took a shower in high spirits, and then exercised for a few minutes in the sky garden on the roof of the hotel.
The cinema acquisition team quickly made an appointment to report the situation to Wang Shang.
The reporter is Li En, the leader of the acquisition team, a person with rich negotiation experience. "Boss, the movie theater acquisition is not going smoothly. Those movie theaters clearly have plans to sell, but they insist on not letting go, or they know that we
There is a lot of money to be acquired, so the lion might as well go big."
Wang Shang was still slowly practicing Tai Chi, which he had just learned, and said: "If they don't sell it, go to the next one to negotiate. Anyway, we only acquire one cinema in a large city, and there are many choices. If he doesn't sell it,
Others will sell it too. Let the other party beg you instead of you begging the other party."
"Are there any special requirements for the cinema to be acquired? As long as the location is good, the population is large, and the transportation is convenient?" Li En is not the kind of person who pretends to understand, and he is bold when asking questions.
Wang Shang thought for a while, dismissed the others, and said to Li En: "I will tell you everything here personally, remember to keep it confidential."
It can be seen that Li Enmian is a person who can keep his mouth shut, and he nodded expressionlessly.
"Now the company has invented a new technology that can make movies bigger. According to the current technical specifications, the cinema needs a large screen of 22 meters by 16 meters in a theater. Do you understand what I mean?"
"22 meters by 16 meters? Isn't that as high as an 8-story building?" Li En and his friends were shocked!!
This width and height are too exaggerated!!
Li En said absentmindedly: "It must be really fun to watch this movie."
"This is just a standard size. In fact, it can be expanded to 29 meters × 22 meters to ensure that the movie is not distorted, and the number of audience seats has to be expanded from 200 to 500-600. So, do you understand what I mean??"
The meaning is obvious, that is to say, the cinema must be renovable, otherwise there would not be such a high and large auditorium.
Li En left with the acquisition team again. With Wang Shang's authorization, Li En could free his hands and feet to raid the entire North American movie theater.
In the following days, Wang Shang visited Tianwang Special Effects Company, and then went to visit the crew of "Thor". At this time, "Thor" was about to be finished, and it is expected to be edited and released by the end of the year.
On April 13, the North American distribution company of "Fast and Furious 3" was finally decided, and it is Disney. Part of the reason is because Tianwang Film and Television Group and Disney Pictures are currently in the honeymoon period. As for the release schedule, Disney and the theater will decide
The production line will coordinate to solve the problem, but with the title of "Fast 3", the filming rate will definitely not be low.
On April 14, Wang Shang took hundreds of special effects artists on a plane and returned to China. Before returning, Li En led his team to successfully acquire 5 movie theaters in North America, with prices ranging from several million to tens of millions of dollars.

When Wang Shang returned to the company, the news that Wang Shang wanted to choose the second secretary had already spread.
