At eight o'clock in the morning, as soon as Yang Lei and Li Lan came in, employees greeted them along the way. Yang Lei was in front, and Li Lan was half a step behind. Both of them looked serious.
"Yeah." The two of them walked in the wind and entered the elevator. The employees behind them were talking about it.
"What happened today?"
"Mr. Yang and Mr. Li didn't have a quarrel, right?"
"When did you see them arguing? Something must have happened."
"What can happen to our company? With Director Lin here, the box office of "Sword Fairy" has also been booming..."
"I heard that early in the morning all the company's department managers were notified of an emergency meeting. Something must have happened."
"Ah? This..."
…
And here, in the elevator, Yang Lei said seriously: "I have to communicate with the CEOs of several other companies about this matter. You should worry more about the company these days."
Li Lan nodded and said, "Don't worry, you have a good chat with them. Now is not the time for us to argue."
"Don't worry, I've made an appointment with Mr. Yuan from Huaying this time." Yang Lei said with a smile, "This is not a family affair."
"That's right, we can't just let our Xiaojuan charge outside all the time. They have to give some support while they take advantage." Li Lan rolled his eyes and said.
"Ding..." When the elevator arrived, the two people's expressions instantly became serious. They walked out of the elevator, walked through the aisle, and arrived in front of a conference room. It was already full of people. As soon as the two opened the door and entered, there were more than ten departments.
The manager and deputy managers all stood up and shouted: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Li."
"Okay, everyone, sit down. This is an emergency meeting. Let me tell you straight. Now Hollywood has united to prepare a global blockade alliance..."
As the meeting progressed, everyone present became very popular. This is so shameless. If we want to destroy the alliance and do it ourselves, should we clone Spider-Man, Iron Man or something?
If you really want to pursue the copyright, the lawsuit will drag you on for several years.
"So the Propaganda Department will make preparations next. The news will not be hidden for long, so you must be prepared."
"There is also the legal department. I have already booked the flight tickets. You must prepare the relevant documents for negotiation immediately..."
"Production department, you need to prepare your manpower to go to the United States to assist Director Lin in taking over several crews."
"Issuance Department..."
"..."
Things were announced one by one, and finally Li Lan said seriously: "Everyone, it has not been easy for us to get to where we are today. The alliance is the key to our company being able to get to where we are today. All of us must protect it. This is what we have encountered."
The most severe challenge is that the opponent is the entire Hollywood, and the battlefield is the global box office market. Distribution department, please express your opinion first, do you have confidence?"
The manager of the distribution department stood up and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be confident about. Although Hollywood is powerful, it doesn't cover the world with just one hand. If it's a big deal, it's just a fight! We have Director Lin here, so who are we to be afraid of making movies?"
Who is it?"
"Yes! Our Propaganda Department has also made a statement. As long as Mr. Yang agrees, I can put the advertisement in their Times Square."
"And we..."
Everyone is united, just like what the distribution department said, who is afraid of whom? In this era, who still wants to cover the sky with one hand, let alone dreams of covering our sky!
The worst case scenario is a beating!
…
Bona, Chairman's Office.
Old Yu showed up in the office with a gloomy face early in the morning. He had been in a bad mood these past few days. The reputation of "War of the Lich" has declined more and more as time goes by. Even the special effects that cost a lot of money can't save this.
The only thing that gave him some relief about the movie was that the foreign box office bucked the trend and rose...
"How much is the overseas box office?" Old Yu asked his secretary seriously.
"Currently, the total foreign box office has exceeded 130 million U.S. dollars. Including domestic box office, the total box office has reached 400 million U.S. dollars." Secretary Hui reported, feeling uneasy.
"Yes." Lao Yu nodded and sighed in his heart, feeling a little complicated.
Unexpectedly, "Sword Immortal" helped them instead.
Yes, it was the influence of "Sword Immortal", an alliance he had always been hostile to, that made many foreign movie fans interested in the Chinese fairy tale, and thus chose to watch "The Lich War", which is also a Chinese film, and also made "The Lich" popular
There has been a lot more filming abroad.
It can be said that "Swordsman" unintentionally saved "Clash of Liches". Otherwise, "Clash of Liches" would have lost Bona's market value due to domestic box office alone.
But even now, the cost of "Lich War" has not been recovered, and it is estimated that it will just recover the cost later.
"A big river~"
Suddenly, Lao Yu's cell phone on the table rang. Lao Yu frowned when he saw the caller, Yang Lei?
Why is he calling? Is he here to mock me?
After thinking for a moment to no avail, Old Yu simply answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Mr. Yu, long time no see. I wonder if you have time to appreciate the glory today?" Yang Lei's rich voice came with a smile, and Old Yu's frown deepened.
What are you doing? What are you doing? I know you very well and you want to invite me to dinner?
Hate……
"Mr. Yang is treating you to a treat. Logically speaking, I must accompany you, but unfortunately, I have been busy with trivial matters recently. If Mr. Yang has nothing important to do..." Lao Yupi said with a smile, and his refusal was obvious.
, I don’t have time to listen to you show off.
"Then I'll tell you the truth..." Lao Yu said, recounting the treatment Lin Jian received in Hollywood. The focus was on Hollywood's attitude.
"Mr. Yu, I think the benefits that the alliance has brought to everyone are well understood. Even if we don't talk about your company's "The Lich" this year, let's talk about whether the popularity of our Chinese-language films in foreign markets has changed in recent years.
Much higher? I dare not say that this is all due to Lin Juan, but he is definitely the mainstay. Do you have any objection to Mr. Yu?"
After thinking for a while, Lao Yu swallowed the words that were against his will. For people of this level, there is no point in telling lies to deceive himself. He said in a deep voice: "No."
"In the past few decades, because of the dominance of Hollywood, American movie fans never bothered to watch foreign-language films. Of course, Mr. Yu, don't tell me about island country romance films. They are not conventional films." Yang Lei said and opened the screen.
He made a little joke to lighten the atmosphere, and then he continued: "Now Hollywood is feeling the pressure and wants to ban the League series. This will not only ban the League."
"So we must help Lin Juan continue to expand the league into the United States. I believe everyone has their own distribution system in the United States and around the world. Mr. Yu, I, Lao Yang, ask for your help."
"Help us spread the alliance to the world, we need the alliance in the front." Yang Lei said sincerely.
Lao Yu was silent for a while, and after a while his voice sounded: "I have an hour at noon. You decide the location. Don't find some place with a per capita of two or three hundred to perfuse me. Give me your private money."
."
Yang Lei's bold laughter sounded: "Definitely."
After hanging up the phone, Old Yu suddenly smiled and murmured: "I never thought I would help the Alliance one day."
"Damn it, this is such a shitty Hollywood, I have long disliked you."
