Other cinema chains are indeed unable to sit still.
Following the sudden popularity of "Saw", a lot of negative public opinions followed like ignited flames, gradually igniting a raging fire!
There was a lot of criticism online.
Basically, the questions are why only Migos Cinemas has it and other cinemas don’t, and whether it is true as the entertainment news says, that Hollywood is jealous of talented people, doesn’t let them come to the fore, and deliberately suppresses them?
There were even many people who inexplicably started the trend. I don’t know when it started, but the voice of Hollywood suppressing Lu Yuan suddenly turned into news about 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, many second- and third-tier celebrities from other countries saw this wave of popularity and shamelessly stood up to talk about how they were also suppressed and bullied...
Then these things spread internationally, and many people who did not know the truth became indignant.
Hua Xia’s fans were particularly excited and started to curse on Twitter.
This is not a good thing for Hollywood as a whole.
So you mean cinemas?
These theaters finally couldn't sit still anymore.
They hope to get the rights to broadcast Saw!
After all, the opening day box office of "Saw" has already said so much!
This movie can make money, and a lot of money, even as much money as the "King Kong" series!
However, because they had indeed expressed their voices of boycotting Lu Yuan in major media before, many things gradually became awkward.
Early in the morning, their people were still rejected from the "remote" entertainment side.
Even Lu Yuan's people were not seen.
This moment...
They suddenly thought of something.
That is...
They needed a scapegoat.
And the choice of scapegoat...
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
…
June 16th.
After the official Weibo account of the Meihua Cinemas announced that "Saw" would be released this morning, cinemas in major regions were instantly packed with people holding movie tickets and ready to watch "Saw".
After seeing this grand occasion, Louis smiled.
"You...are really good. I seem to be really old..."
"Dad, it's not that I'm good, but I noticed something earlier than them..."
"What's up?"
"All the movies he made, including those he participated in, were huge hits. Not a single one of them failed at the box office!"
"this……"
"You haven't checked his resume?"
"No……"
"This is his resume..."
In the office, Louis looked at the old man in front of him.
His own father.
He saw the white hair on his father's head and his father's 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 took the resume, he was shocked.
Then……
Then fell into a long silence.
The old man had definitely never paid attention to this Chinese man before.
Because in his opinion, this Chinese man is famous internationally. Maybe Hollywood can't ban "The Legend of 1900", but after "The Legend of 1900", this young man will have no way out...
But……
No one could have imagined that this young man actually bought a cinema chain!
Moreover, despite the ban from many Hollywood entertainment companies, he was able to revive this cinema chain.
This is simply incredible!
"Everyone thought that his first movie in Hollywood would fail. Everyone thought that he would fall into a big pit. But why would he fail? How could someone like him who always creates miracles fail?" Louis stared at his father. "Dad, you... were too arrogant like them before. Arrogance will hurt us. People who really want to succeed can't be proud or arrogant..."
Louis is laughing.
Smile brightly.
He made the right bet.
It was absolutely the right thing to do to get the screening rights for Saw.
In fact, after he read Lu Yuan's resume, he suddenly realized something...
That's how history always repeats itself!
Three years ago, there was a low-budget movie that was not shown in any theaters, and the two young people ran into obstacles everywhere.
In the end, a cinema chain called Tianhe played the movie.
Then……
This movie shown in Tianhe Cinemas is a hit!
Many cinemas were stunned after seeing the premiere performance of this movie.
After the movie became popular, a young man entered the Chinese entertainment industry...
From then on, this young man stirred up waves in the Chinese entertainment industry and even had an international impact!
This young man is Lu Yuan, and that movie is the "Buried" which is a big hit in the United States again!
This time, "Saw" is so similar to the previous experience of "Buried".
No one paid attention to this movie either.
No theaters are willing to play it either...
Similarly, when this movie became a hit, many theaters regretted their decision.
but……
That young man, however, is no longer the young man who had nothing at the beginning.
Louis had a strange premonition that this young man would soon stir up the Hollywood scene just as he had done in China!
In the sunshine, the old man remained silent.
“Dad…” At this time, Louis suddenly showed a serious expression.
"What……"
"Leave the theaters to me!"
"What! Leave it to you?" The old man stared at his son who usually didn't talk much.
"You are old now, you should have a good rest. Didn't you want to travel to China before? Now I think it's time..."
“…” After hearing Lewis’ words, the old man looked extremely complicated.
Then.
He closed his eyes.
Continue to remain silent.
“Now is the time for the young ones…” Louis mused.
“…”
…
"Cheers, Mr. Bliss."
"This time the public opinion was very positive. Mr. Wilson was furious and called Allen to his office to give him a good scolding."
"Hahaha! I wish Mr. Bliss a successful start!"
"Haha, not yet. We have to wait for the right opportunity. It depends on how popular Saw will be. If it becomes so popular that Mr. Wilson feels powerless, then... Alan may have to be replaced. Mr. Wilson is a practical person."
"Haha, Mr. Bliss, have you seen this movie? How much do you think it will do at the box office?"
"That depends on what Mr. Lu Yuan does next."
"What do you mean?"
"If Mr. Lu Yuan is willing to cooperate with these theaters, then the box office will naturally be extraordinary. If Mr. Lu Yuan is not willing to cooperate, then the box office is estimated to be only around 30 million US dollars..." Bliss laughed.
"Mr. Bliss, do you think our Mr. Lu Yuan will cooperate?"
"As for other people, I'm sure they can cooperate, but Mr. Lu Yuan... I can't see through him..."
"Why?"
"Sincerity! Yes, it is sincerity. Judging from Mr. Lu Yuan's detailed resume over the past three years, he personally pays more attention to 'sincerity'. If there is a certain degree of 'sincerity', we can cooperate. But if there is a lack of sincerity, Mr. Lu Yuan probably won't cooperate... No one should be able to take advantage of him."
"Mr. Bliss, you are right." Zhou Shuai laughed.
"Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
In a bar in Hollywood, Zhou Shuai looked at Bliss in front of him, and Bliss was also looking at Zhou Shuai.
Then……
The two smiled at each other, and each saw a hint of ambition for the future in the other's eyes.
Under the dim light, the two men picked up their wine glasses and clinked them together.
There is a newspaper on the table...
There was a lot of unfavorable news about Allen in the newspapers.
All the conflicts between Hollywood and Lu Yuan seemed to be placed on Allen.
When they were halfway through drinking, Zhou Shuai's phone rang.
Zhou Shuai answered the phone and then a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Mr. Bliss, here comes another life."
"What kind of work?"
"Other theaters are planning to provide evidence of their transactions with Allen, hoping that our media can report it... and even hope to hold a press conference..."
"Oh? That's good!"
"Yes, that's good. Let's put some more pressure on Mr. Allen!"
"Um!"
…
A thought to heaven.
One thought to hell.
Alan was depressed.
Wilson scolded him harshly early in the morning.
Anyone would be depressed by this.
However, this depression seems to be just the beginning.
What's even more speechless is yet to come...
After coming out of Wilson's office at noon, the assistant ran over to him in panic and said that something bad had happened.
He looked at today's entertainment headlines.
Is the popularity of "Saw" making headlines?
He saw it the first time, but when he saw it the second time, he suddenly saw countless bad news coming one after another...
The many inexplicable pieces of evidence made his eyes widen.
"We at Cobia have never done anything to suppress or ban anyone. From the beginning to the end, we have always welcomed Lu Yuanxian to Hollywood. We even sincerely hope that Mr. Lu Yuanxian can win more awards at this year's Oscars. As for the claims of suppression and banning, these things are nothing but fabrications in Chinese idioms. Perhaps Mr. Allen of our company occasionally made some improper remarks, but Mr. Allen's remarks and actions do not represent our company..."
“…”
After seeing this evidence, Allen felt suffocated.
His face flushed, but...
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then……
He continued reading.
then.
He saw many statements from theaters below, which were basically about him discussing cooperation with them, but...
All the dirty water was thrown on him.
And what about their cinemas?
It's all fucking gone.
What does this mean?
You guys are the good guys and I'm the bad guy?
Alan was furious.
but……
He didn't know what to say.
What can he say?
Can he say that he had talked to the company and the company condoned his suppression?
Can he say that these theaters used to be close friends with 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...
So he could only keep this grievance to himself for now.
…
evening.
Lu Yuan finally came out of remote entertainment.
When he saw the heads of these theaters coming back, he laughed, and then his expression became ashamed.
"Everyone... this... I never said that you guys suppressed me before. The reason why I didn't cooperate with you is that I also set up a cinema chain, and I was afraid of forming a competitive relationship. I wanted to make more money. Later, I thought about it carefully and realized that I was wrong. I can't make enough money by myself, not even in my lifetime. I deeply realized my shame, and also realized my pettiness and mistakes. Everyone, thank you for your sincerity. Please come in and talk. We can talk about the contract... In fact, it's not a 37% and 46% relationship. Actually... Haha, everyone, come in and talk, come in and talk..."
“…”
Lu Yuan politely welcomed all these people into the conference room, and asked Forrest to make some tea quickly...
Forrest looked at Lu Yuan's sudden change of attitude in surprise.
I don’t know why…
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at Lu Yuan's attitude towards these people...
It suddenly dawned on him.
He suddenly remembered dates and sticks?
Give you a big stick, then give you a date, and at the same time give you a way out to take the blame on yourself?
this……
The boss is smart!
etc!
Panax notoginseng?
Didn’t they agree to 4:6?
Why did the boss say 37?
wrong!
boss……
When I think of this...
Forrest cheered up!
