Other theater chains are indeed unable to sit still.
After "Saw" suddenly became popular, many negative public opinions followed like a ignited flame, gradually igniting a raging fire!
There was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
Basically, it’s why only Michaels Cinemas has it and why other theaters don’t have it, and is it true, as the entertainment news says, that Hollywood is jealous of talented people and doesn’t let them get ahead, deliberately suppressing them?
There are even many people who have inexplicably started the rhythm. I don’t know when the voice of Hollywood suppressing Lu Yuan suddenly turned into the news of Hollywood entertainment companies and Hollywood theaters suppressing actors and companies from other countries!
Some people even cited many inexplicable examples besides Lu Yuan...
Of course, at the same time, after seeing this wave of popularity, many second- and third-tier stars from other countries shamelessly stood up and talked about how they had also been suppressed and bullied...
Then these things spread internationally, and many people in the world who did not know the truth began to be filled with indignation.
In particular, Huaxia fans were extremely excited and cursed on Twitter one after another.
This is not a good thing for Hollywood as a whole.
So you're talking about theaters?
These theater chains finally couldn't sit still.
They hope to get the broadcast rights to "Saw"!
After all, the box office of "Saw" on its opening day has truly revealed too many things!
This movie can make money, and it can make a lot of money, even as profitable as the "King Kong" series!
However, because they had indeed spoken out against Lu Yuan in major media before, many things gradually became embarrassing.
Early in the morning, their people were still rejected by "remote" entertainment.
Not even anyone from Lu Yuan was seen.
This moment...
They suddenly thought of something.
That is...
They need a scapegoat.
And the choice of scapegoat...
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
……………………………………………………
June 16th.
After Mehua Cinemas announced on its official Weibo that "Saw" would be released this morning, all the movie theaters in major areas were instantly full, with people everywhere holding movie tickets and preparing to watch "Saw".
After seeing this grand occasion, Louis showed a smile.
"You... are really good. I seem to be really old..."
"Dad, it's not that I'm good, but I noticed one thing earlier than they did..."
"What's up?"
"All the movies he made, including the ones he participated in, were all hits, and none of them failed at the box office!"
"this……"
"You haven't checked his resume, have you?"
"No……"
"This is his resume..."
In the office, Lewis looked at the old man in front of him.
his own father.
He saw the white hair on his father's head and his silent expression.
he……
I feel like my father is getting old.
At this time, he handed a resume to his father.
When the old man received this resume information, he was shocked.
Then……
Then he fell into a long silence.
The old man had indeed never paid attention to this Chinese person who appeared before.
Because in his opinion, this Chinese man is famous internationally. Maybe Hollywood can't block "The Pianist on the Sea", but after "The Pianist on the Sea", there is nothing this young man can do...
But……
No one could have imagined that this young man would buy a theater chain out of hand!
Moreover, despite being blocked by many entertainment companies in Hollywood, he was able to revitalize this theater chain.
This is simply incredible!
"Everyone thinks that his first movie in Hollywood will fail, and everyone thinks that he will fall into a big hole, but why would he fail? Why would someone like him who always creates miracles fail?
"Louis stared at his father, "Dad, you... were too arrogant like them before. Arrogance will harm us. People who really want to succeed cannot be proud or arrogant..."
Louis is laughing.
Smile brightly.
He made the right bet.
It was absolutely right to get the screening rights for "Saw".
In fact, when he read Lu Yuan's resume, he suddenly realized something...
That is, history is always surprisingly similar!
Three years ago, there was a small-budget movie that was not broadcast in any theaters, and two young people hit a wall everywhere.
In the end, a theater chain named Tianhe played the movie.
Then……
This movie played by Tianhe Cinema is a hit!
Many theaters opened their eyes wide after seeing the premiere results of this movie.
After this movie became popular, a young man entered the Chinese entertainment industry...
Since then, this young man has stirred up waves in the Chinese entertainment industry, and even affected the world!
This young man is Lu Yuan, and that movie is "Buried Alive", which is once again a hit in the United States!
And this time "Saw" is very similar to the previous experience of "Buried Alive".
No one paid attention to this movie either.
Likewise, no theater chain is willing to play it...
Similarly, when this movie became a hit, many theaters regretted it.
but……
That young man is no longer the young man who had nothing.
Louis had a strange premonition that this young man was about to stir up the turmoil in Hollywood just like he did in China!
Under the sun, the old man still fell into silence.
"Dad..." At this time, Lewis suddenly showed a solemn expression.
"What……"
"Leave the cinema to me!"
"What! Leave it to you?" The old man stared at his son who usually didn't talk much.
"You are old and should have a good rest. Didn't you really want to travel to China before? Now I think it's time..."
"..." After hearing what Lewis said, the old man looked extremely complicated.
Later.
He closed his eyes.
Continue to remain silent.
"Now is the time for young people..." Louis mused thoughtfully.
"..."
………………………………
"Cheers! Mr. Bliss."
"This time the public opinion was good, and Mr. Wilson was furious because of it. He called Allen into the office and gave him a good scolding."
"Hahaha! I wish Mr. Bliss will be victorious!"
"Haha, it's not possible yet. Now we have to wait for the opportunity to see how popular this "Saw" will be. If it can be so popular that Mr. Wilson feels powerless, then... Allen
He may have to be transferred to another position, Mr. Wilson is a practical person."
"Haha, Mr. Bliss, you have seen this movie, how much do you think this movie will have at the box office?"
"Then it depends on what Mr. Lu Yuan will do next."
"How to say?"
"If Mr. Lu Yuan is willing to cooperate with these theaters, then the box office will naturally be extraordinary. If Mr. Lu Yuan does not cooperate, then the box office will only be estimated to be around 30 million US dollars..." Bliss laughed.
.
"Mr. Bliss, do you think our Mr. Lu Yuan will cooperate?"
"If there are other people, I'm sure they can cooperate, but Mr. Lu Yuan... I can't see through..."
"Why?"
"Sincerity! Yes, it is sincerity. Judging from Mr. Lu Yuan's detailed resume in the past three years, he personally pays more attention to "sincerity". If there is a certain degree of "sincerity", he can cooperate, but if he lacks sincerity, it is estimated that
Mr. Lu Yuan will not cooperate...no one should be able to take advantage of him."
"Mr. Bliss, you are right." Zhou Shuai laughed.
"Mr. Zhou, happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
In a bar in Hollywood, Zhou Shuai looked at Bliss from a year ago, and Bliss also looked at Zhou Shuai.
Then……
The two looked at each other and smiled, each seeing a hint of ambition for the future in the other's eyes.
Under the dim light, the two picked up their wine glasses and clinked them.
There is a newspaper beside the table...
There was a lot of unfavorable news about Allen in the newspapers.
All conflicts between Hollywood and Lu Yuan seem to be focused on Allen.
When he was halfway through drinking, Zhou Shuai's phone rang.
Zhou Shuai answered the phone and then had a strange expression on his face.
"Mr. Bliss, he's alive again."
"What work?"
"Other theaters plan to provide evidence of their transactions with Allen, and we hope that our media can report it... and even hope to hold a press conference..."
"Oh? That's a good thing!"
"Yeah, good thing, give our Mr. Allen another straw!"
"Um!"
…………………………
A thought about heaven.
One thought about hell.
Allen was very depressed.
I was scolded severely by Wilson very early in the morning.
This would make anyone depressed.
However, this depression seems to be just the beginning.
What is even more speechless is yet to come...
After coming out of Wilson's office at noon, his assistant ran over to him in a panic and looked at him, saying that something serious was going on.
He looked at today's entertainment headlines.
Is the popularity of "Saw" making headlines?
He saw it the first time, but when he looked for the second time, he suddenly saw countless bad news coming one after another...
The numerous inexplicable evidences made his eyes widen.
"Our company, Gobia, has never done anything to suppress or block people. From the beginning to the end, we have always welcomed Mr. Lu Yuan to come to Hollywood. We even sincerely wish Mr. Lu Yuan can win more Oscars at this year's Oscars."
Award, as for the claims of suppression and blocking, these things are nothing to use in Chinese idioms. Perhaps Mr. Allen, our affiliate, occasionally makes some improper remarks, but Mr. Allen’s remarks and actions do not represent our
company……"
"..."
After seeing this piece of evidence, Allen felt suffocated.
His face turned red from holding back, but...
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then……
He continued to read.
then.
He saw statements from many theater chains below, basically about his discussions about cooperation with them, but...
They all poured dirty water on him.
And what about their theater chains?
Damn it all.
What does this mean?
You think of me as the good guy, and I think of myself as the bad guy?
Allen was furious.
but……
But he didn't know what to say.
What could he say?
Can he say that he told the company and the company acquiesced in his suppression?
Can he say that these movie theaters used to be brothers to him, but now they have turned against him?
He can't say!
After all, this is self-destructive!
There are many things that cannot be said openly...
Therefore, he could only keep this grievance to himself.
…………………………………………
evening.
Lu Yuan finally came out of remote entertainment.
When he saw the people in charge of these theaters coming back, he laughed, and then his expression turned very ashamed.
"Everyone...this...I never said that you suppressed me before. The reason why I didn't cooperate with you is that I also own a theater chain. I was afraid of forming a competitor relationship. I wanted to make more money. Later,
, I thought about it carefully, I was indeed wrong, money, I can’t make it all by myself in a lifetime.
Infinitely, I am deeply aware of my own shame, as well as my small-mindedness and mistakes. Everyone, thank you for your sincerity. Please come in and talk. We can talk about the contract... In fact, it is not 37 and 46.
The relationship between them, actually... Haha, you guys come in and chat, come in and chat..."
"..."
Lu Yuan politely welcomed all these people into the conference room, and at the same time asked Foris to quickly make tea...
Forrest was surprised to see Lu Yuan's sudden change in attitude.
Don't know why...
He suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Look at Lu Yuan's attitude towards these people...
It dawned on him.
He suddenly remembered dates and sticks?
Give you a big stick, and then give you dates, and at the same time give you a step down to take the blame on yourself?
