Chapter 622 Tearing a hole in the blocked Hollywood!
"What! The first heart-stopping movie in the United States. This Chinese is so arrogant! Who is he? Does he think we don't have horror movies in the United States? Chinese people have always been humble when they come to the United States. I have never seen such a
people!"
"This is a movie that only the brave dare to watch. Not for the faint of heart. This guy uses all kinds of dirty tricks to sell movie tickets. He even dares to write this kind of promotional headline. Aren't you afraid of being criticized?"
"Lu Yuan, I admit, maybe China is your territory, but this is Hollywood, in Hollywood! You...are nothing, Lu Yuan, get out of Hollywood!"
"I request that this arrogant guy be banned!"
"'Saw'? The name doesn't sound like a good movie. Can such a movie have box office? Yes, I also request that Lu Yuan be banned. This person is simply disgusting in our Hollywood!"
"What the hell!"
"..."
When Allen saw this series of curses, instead of showing any joy or relief on his face, his expression gradually became serious.
This is good news from the assistant!
The advertising slogan for "Saw" is indeed very arrogant, making many horror film directors filled with indignation.
They felt that Lu Yuan was arrogant and was even provoking the entire Hollywood horror director circle!
After seeing this, many Hollywood directors stood up and scolded this arrogant Chinese on major social media!
At the same time, I don’t know how many media outlets also got involved and started to talk about "Saw"!
"Saw" has a bad reputation on the Internet. Lu Yuan himself was scolded for "Saw" and was unanimously ordered to be banned. This was originally a good thing for Allen, and it can also be said to be good news.
After all, the more enemies Lu Yuan makes, the better!
However……
When Allen browsed the hot spots on the Internet, he realized that the more gossip on the Internet, the louder the scolding, and the more publicity he had for Lu Yuan.
Moreover, these people are clamoring for a ban?
The so-called ban is useful to other people, but what's the use to Lu Yuan=?
right!
Apart from calling someone online to increase Lu Yuan's presence so that Lu Yuan can get some benefits, what's the use of this?
Are theater chains threatening not to show his movies?
good!
He just bought a theater chain by himself, and no media was willing to report on Lu Yuan?
good……
He actually founded a media company of his own, and the media business was running pretty well, and it even made him miserable!
Yes!
After the previous scandal spread all over the world, Allen specially investigated Novi, and finally found out that the man behind Novi was Lu Yuan!
After hearing the news, Allen's lungs almost exploded with anger. He wanted to take a kitchen knife and cut Lu Yuanda into eight pieces!
He sued the media company called Novi.
But what’s the use of filing a lawsuit?
Order an apology? Clarify?
right!
Apologized!
The day after the lawyer's letter was sent, Novi issued an apology statement. The apology was very sincere and it was willing to pay a certain amount of compensation!
Now that this has happened, what else can Allen do?
What else could he say?
He can only choose to forgive.
This was the first time Allen had seen such a shameless media like Novi.
At this moment, when he sees countless people on the Internet scolding Lu Yuan, can he still be happy?
Now that more people are criticizing, isn’t this giving Lu Yuan free publicity and advertising?
The harder you scold him, the greater his fame in Hollywood and the media...
Even if you call "Saw" a stinky piece of shit, looking at the queue, there will still be a large number of people going to smell how stinky this stinky piece of shit is.
"Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen?"
"What's the bad news..."
"The bad news is that one theater chain seems to have started trying to communicate with Lu Yuan..."
"What, communication?"
"right!"
"..."
When Allen heard the news, he just felt a tightness in his chest that couldn't come out no matter what.
Hollywood……
Lu Yuan was indeed banned and restricted in all aspects like a big net.
However, Lu Yuan used his crazy way to tear a hole in Hollywood!
Moreover, as time goes by, if Hollywood does not respond accordingly, then this hole will get bigger and bigger, and eventually...
The ban will become a joke!
…………………………
It's late at night.
Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue talked about some recent situations and had a good night's sleep before preparing to have a good sleep.
but……
At this time James came.
James came with a tall young man with glasses.
When the young man saw Lu Yuan, an attentive smile appeared on his face, and then he slowly put down the gift he was carrying.
Lu Yuan did not recognize this tall young man with glasses.
However, Lu Yuan still showed a warm smile and hurriedly asked the young man to sit down while helping him make tea.
This is the courtesy that a Chinese should have.
This has nothing to do with the gift mentioned.
The young man's expression looked a little restrained, but at the same time he was a little flattered.
"Boss... his name is Louis, he is the son of the owner of the Meihua Cinemas, and he is also the person in charge..." James looked helpless after looking at the young man.
This evening, when he was about to go home, this young man came to him.
Moreover, it’s like a piece of brown candy that can’t be shaken off...
After learning the young man's identity, James could only bring him over to see Lu Yuan.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Please forgive me for being reckless... I'm really sorry... but I really can't help it..."
"It's okay, it's okay, don't bother, don't bother... Hello Louis." After Lu Yuan saw James' helpless expression, his expression did not change much, and he still had a bright smile.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, here I want to scold my stupid father. Before, when you were banned, I didn't know about it in India. I didn't realize it until I returned to the United States.
When my father committed a huge stupid thing... I hope I can apologize to you..."
"Oh? Mr. Lewis, you don't have to be restrained, just like at home. Well, by the way, you are here this time..."
"Mr. Lu Yuan, this time I come here to talk about cooperation with sincerity. I hope that our American-Chinese Cinemas can get the screening rights of "Buried Alive" and "Saw"..." Louis exclaimed deeply.
One breath.
Although he and Lu Yuan are about the same age, but...
Lu Yuan put too much pressure on him.
Especially the way Lu Yuan looked at him with a smile on his face really made him feel uncomfortable.
but……
He still had the courage to say this.
He is a smart man.
"Buried Alive" became a hit in the United States, and some random comments on the Internet told him one thing.
That means Hollywood has absolutely no way to block Lu Yuan.
As a qualified businessman, he knew that he could no longer suppress Lu Yuan like other theater chains.
He understood that if he continued to engage with Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan would not lose anything and still make money without any changes, but he might let go of a huge gold mine that was irresistible!
Leaving money without making any money and talking about suppression at the same time is simply a fool!
Louis cannot be a fool!
"Buried Alive" has a lot of audiences in the United States. If it is released at this time, it will definitely make money with the popularity. Moreover, "Saw" is not as popular as before it was released. If it is released and the reputation is not bad, then...
Another sum of money!
When he thought of this, Lewis came to Lu Yuan shamelessly!
He needs cooperation!
Yes!
Cooperate with Lu Yuan one step ahead of others, so that you can gain more benefits than others.
"Sorry, Mr. Lewis, we don't plan to license it to any theater chain now..." Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "If Mr. Lewis is here for this today, then I think you will be disappointed, Mr. Lewis. I haven't yet."
The decision to authorize..."
"No... Mr. Lu Yuan, please don't refuse it yet... There will definitely be benefits to cooperating with us!"
"Sorry, Mr. Lewis, you may not understand my current situation now. I currently have a theater chain, and judging from the trend in the past two days, my theater chain is not bad for the time being... Mr. Lewis, you are also a theater
Line, you should know that we are now competitors, right?"
"Yes, I know! You are right, but if your movie is only released in your theaters, don't you think it will make a lot less money? The box office may not lose money, but it is unlikely to be a big loss.
Explode!" Lewis looked at Lu Yuan seriously.
"Haha! Mr. Lewis, I'm not as interested in money as you think. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you make more or less, as long as you don't lose money... Mr. Lewis, please go back. It's too late. I'm going to bed.
, after all, I will be releasing "Saw" at noon tomorrow..."
"Ah...Mr. Lu Yuan, I am very sincere..."
"Mr. Lewis, I don't doubt your sincerity. When Mr. James asked you to cooperate before, we were also very sincere... But in the end, the cooperation was still unsuccessful, right?" Lu Yuan laughed, "We Chinese people pay attention to three things.
word, that is to argue for your tone, you
It's unfair to me to reject me and come to me now. Moreover, Mr. Lewis, I am a very face-conscious person, and I am very thin-skinned... At the same time, I am also very fragile inside. You have hurt me,
I can’t possibly let you hurt me a second time, right?”
"This... Mr. Lu Yuan, this was done by my damn father. This was not done by me. I don't know anything. Mr. Lu Yuan, can you please give me a chance?"
"Please come back, Mr. Lewis."
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I am very sincere...Really, you might as well listen to my cooperation plan. Yes, yes, the cooperation plan is here..." Louis slapped his head and quickly took out a contract, pretending to think
I need to explain it to Lu Yuan.
but……
"Mr. James, please help me see off Mr. Lewis... I feel very tired now... Well, I feel a little dizzy. Sorry, I'm sorry..." Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, not looking at that at all.
contract without even looking at Louis.
He stood up, touched his head, and finally turned around and walked back to the room.
and closed the door.
"Okay!" James was a little surprised.
He really couldn't understand why his boss was so angry.
"Mr. Lu Yuan? Mr. Lu Yuan..." Lewis suddenly became anxious and knocked on Lu Yuan's door without saying anything.
"Mr. James, can you help me talk to Mr. Lu Yuan? I... We, Meihua, really know that we have done something stupid! Really! Moreover, it is really beneficial for you to cooperate with us, and I can cooperate with you
Divided into…”
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this matter, you go away!" James shook his head, "We...we were indeed deeply hurt by you...it was really difficult to get out of the shadows for a while..."
"..."
…………………………
Early morning.
When Louis returned home, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became!
The more I think about it, the more my heart beats!
The popularity of "Saw" on the Internet is getting higher and higher.
Although they are all scolded, but...
But Louis had a hunch that this movie might be a hit!
just in case……
Are other theater chains taking the lead?
no!
Must win!
Their Meihua Cinemas chain is not a big one among the cinema chains in the United States, it can only be considered an ordinary cinema chain. At the same time, the customer traffic in the cinema chain is not much, and it has always been tepid...
Although it will not go bankrupt, but...
There is no way to develop further.
Other theater chains may be able to remain indifferent.
But he...
no!
He must win at the starting line!
As dawn approaches and "Saw" is about to be released, Louis takes another look at the cooperation contract!
Then he gritted his teeth and wrote "64" on the dividing line.
Then, he called James again.
"Mr. James...I wish we could talk!"
"..."
"Mr. James, I will write our division into six and four for this "Saw", six for you and four for me, and I hope you can help me talk to Mr. Lu. After the matter is completed, I will definitely benefit from you.
!”
"..."
"Mr. James, we are really sincere..."
There was always silence on the other end of the phone.
Just when Louis was getting colder and colder, James finally spoke.
"Mr. Lewis, please wait a moment. I'll talk to the boss. Of course... I don't guarantee anything... After all, our boss's identity is unique."
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, Louis kept waiting for James' call.
pity……
James never called.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
About an hour passed...
Just when Louis felt a little cold, the phone finally rang.
"Mr. Lewis... come here, the boss's anger has subsided... However, I hope you are sincere..."
"Thank you, Mr. James, thank you, thank you very much!" After hearing this voice, Louis suddenly felt extremely pleasantly surprised!
but……
What he didn't know was that James and Lu Yuan showed weird smiles at the same time in the office.
