Emperor Superstar Cultivation System
Chapter 458: Wrath and Ingratiation
When Paul and his party rushed to Hengdian, although his speed was not slow anymore, they were still greeted by an empty villa.
"Where are people?" He sat on the sofa with a bad expression, looking at the silent people in front of him, his black face became even darker.
"Tell me, where did the bastards Camuel and Von Kicarlo go?!"
His voice roared like thunder, resounding throughout the room.
Everyone knows that these two people have already fled in fear of crime, and disappeared together, as well as this month's several million dollars.
"Mr. Paul, the two of them have fled now, and we can't find the culprit. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the Painted Skin crew." Director Xu looked rather regretful, and then sat down on the sofa without having anything to do with himself.
"Notify the Chinese police and the American police! These two bastards! Let's see where they can go!" Paul roared through gritted teeth, with an indescribable taste in his heart.
After discounting a large amount of money, you still have to negotiate business with the crew in a pleasant manner?
What can't do business with the crew, aren't you sitting here just waiting to see how I do business? !
He really wanted to slap his ass and leave.
But he couldn't, so when he heard Lin Xiao coming, his face changed for half a second before he gritted his teeth and regained his composure.
"Please come in."
"Mr. Paul." When Lin Xiao and Qin Xin came in together, they first saw Director Xu who had met once.
Director Xu nodded in a friendly manner and said nothing more.
"Oh, my Chinese friend, Time Warner is very sorry about this incident." Paul walked over with a smile on his face, and gave Lin Xiao a big hug.
"It was just an accident. No one expected that they would do such a thing." Lin Xiao smiled perfunctorily, and everyone sat down on the sofa.
"Director Lin." Paul spoke first, "I would like to express my sincere apologies once again. I am here on behalf of Time Warner. Although the contract for this film has been terminated, it is because it was created by Camuel. Actually This termination can still be discussed.”
"No need, we didn't expect Time Warner to come so soon. There are already other companies willing to invest in this film." Director Xu refused in good time.
"Oh, that's really very regrettable." Paul was not surprised at all, and made a regretful expression, spread his hands and said, "However, this is related to the reputation of Time Warner, and we must make corresponding compensation."
Lin Xiao nodded. This is Steve Case's last fight. It is related to whether he will still sit on the throne in a few months or retire to the mountains and forests. It also involves a huge market of 13 billion people, especially in this year. , The three major films also issued important provisions for the industrialization of all films, and Warner had to and must restore its reputation.
"Director Lin, do you have any ideas? If it can be satisfied, we will do our best to satisfy it."
Lin Xiao smiled, he was just waiting for Paul's words.
"Since Mr. Paul said so, I will do my part. I hope this film can be released globally." He suppressed his smile. This is not a time to face and suffer. There is only one chance. Next time, wait until the giant Warner puts down his airs, no Knowing which year has passed, "I believe in the quality of this film. Of course, for overseas distribution, we will hand over full authority to Time Warner for distribution."
Paul pretended to hesitate, and nodded his fat and dark head after a few tens of seconds, "Yes, but we must get the samples as soon as possible before we can decide which schedule to queue."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just this request, it was a bargaining chip he had prepared before coming, and he was completely accepting it.
China is indeed a country of etiquette, and if you catch this kind of opportunity, you will not kill it.
He couldn't help casting a kind look at the young man in front of him.
"In addition, I want to know some schedules of Warner's theaters in the United States."
"What?!" The next sentence immediately shocked Paul and almost bounced off the sofa.Tongue almost bit off.Several people around, although they didn't dare to speak anymore, they all stared at Lin Xiao with unfamiliar eyes, and some even opened their mouths for a long time without closing them.
What about the state of etiquette? !Can you still have fun playing!
"Lin, Director Lin, do you know what you're talking about!" Paul stuttered for the first time in surprise.
Even Director Xu cast an unbelievable look.
The schedule can be described as a must-kill in the box office war.
Lost in Thailand, China's astronomical box office of 12 billion, so Enlight Media has taken it to a higher level and completely established its name.However, the secret of its success is only two words, and they are two words that are too coincidental.
schedule!
Lost in Thailand, which was originally scheduled to be released on December 21, was postponed to December [-] because it was completed ahead of schedule.
Ten days of life and death, he missed the duel with Chen Long's Zodiac, Blood Droplet and other blockbusters.But on the 1942th, they faced Feng Xiaogang's [-] and Lu Chuan's Wang's Feast.
1942 was the only one in Feng Xiaogang's [-]-win record that lost.The King's Feast also has a bad reputation.
This vacuum period caused the sequel "囧囧 in Thailand" which succeeded "People on the Journey" to kill all directions, and even shocked the entire December schedule!
Some miracles cannot be replicated because their premise is a coincidence.
Lin Xiao asked for a schedule, which seemed simple, but in fact, Warner Bros. would definitely not recommend Chinese directors. They would replace the copyright at most.
The schedule will not tell the theaters, Warner can only rely on his own interpersonal relationship to obtain, and he must show his cards first, for example, I don’t want to use the Matrix to snipe your Kill Bill, but I want to promote newcomers.
Only in this way can it be possible to get schedules from other companies.
Now that Lin Xiao asked for a schedule as soon as he opened his mouth, he obviously planned to have a vacuum period!
Lin Xiao sighed secretly, he didn't want to do this either, it would appear too ambitious, but he has a few films that must be avoided!
The first is the global box office hegemony in 03, the last and most prestigious one in the Lord of the Rings series, The Lord of the Rings. The Return of the King directed by Peter Jackson.
The second one is the sixth in the world in the whole year, the blockbuster directed by Will Favreau, Christmas Elf.
The third part is Warner's own film, The Matrix summary track, The Matrix 3. Revolution directed by Andy and Rice.
If you run into these three films, a painted skin with a very different style, there will be a fierce fight at the box office!
Paul undoubtedly knew the filming process of Revolution. Although the Matrix 2 has just been released, no one guessed that the Matrix 3 will be released at the end of the year.
"Director Lin, forgive me for not agreeing!" Paul broke out in cold sweat, hanging like pearls on his dark face. "Sorry, we can increase the overseas share of your film, but I can't accept that."
"Mr. Paul." At this moment, Director Xu said, "I can understand Director Lin's thoughts."
"It's the first time to go abroad and face the world. Naturally, I hope to have good results. Chinese films are tentative in contact with the American market, not pioneering."
She didn't say much, but she hit the point.
Instead, Paul calmed down. He just refused instinctively just now.But if you think about it carefully, the gap between the style of Chinese films and the European and American markets is too great, and almost one out of ten will be affirmed. This proposal seems absurd, but in fact it is just a step back.
More importantly, it was Director Xu who spoke, and he could hardly refuse.
"Mr. Paul, just like Mr. Xu said, I just hope that there will be no accidents. In fact, it can be arranged in the schedule from November to January." Lin Xiao said while the iron was hot.
"Also, I want to focus on the Asian market."
Paul breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it for a long time, and still said cautiously, "I need to see Director Lin's samples before I can decide on this proposal. And I can't promise you, I have to report to my immediate superior."
"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, "Then I still hope..."
and also? !
Paul's eyeballs were about to pop out.
At this moment, he really wanted to slap Li Kebao and the missing Camuel von Kicarlo to death.
The first proposal is still reasonable, but the second proposal is a bit too much for him, and there is a third one?
"Director Lin, I think your proposal can be reconsidered. After all, it's still a long time..." He said modestly, took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his face, and wiped it on his dark forehead. conspicuous.
"Mr. Paul, you haven't stayed in Hengdian for a long time. I'm afraid you have to go to Singapore to deal with Mr. Li Kebao's affairs? So I think it's better to finish some things at once." Director Xu reminded appropriately, especially Bite the word Li Kebao heavily.
These three words now make Paul feel extremely harsh.His lips moved for a long time but he didn't say anything.
"Director Lin, please tell me." After several seconds, he sighed dejectedly and said.
"Third, I want to know the schedule of Lord of the Rings and Christmas elves."
The audience was silent, as if the picture had been frozen.
This time, not only Paul, but even several other foreigners and the bodyguards looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
is it possible?
The schedule of these two films is definitely a secret among the secrets of the two companies, even Warner can't get it.
"Director Lin! This is impossible!" Paul almost cried out.
He wants to give himself a mouth now.
What to say to satisfy as much as possible?Why did I feel that the person sitting opposite me was a gentle young man?
It is obviously a beast that eats people but does not spit out bones!
Director Xu also sighed. Although she hoped that Huapi could win glory for the country, she also knew how difficult it was.
"Mr. Paul, I don't necessarily need it, but if you can know, I hope to consider the schedule of the painting skin as appropriate." Lin Xiao said.
Fortunately.
Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lin Xiao with vigilance.
The first time I made a film, it was still Trinity, and I thought so clearly, with a very clear purpose, that is, to have a vacuum period.Each one seems to be difficult, but in fact there is hope, so that he can't find a reason to refuse.
Especially when there is a Director Xu next to him.
It's an unspoken threat.And there is no need for Lin Xiao to say anything, the identity of Director Xu is there.
He suddenly felt like a dumb man eating coptis.
"So, Mr. Paul agrees?"
"As appropriate, consider as appropriate..." The fat black man struggled to utter a few words through his teeth.
Lin Xiao nodded, "Okay, I have one last point..."
"besides?!?!"
Paul almost screamed out, this time, he really bit his tongue.
"Where are people?" He sat on the sofa with a bad expression, looking at the silent people in front of him, his black face became even darker.
"Tell me, where did the bastards Camuel and Von Kicarlo go?!"
His voice roared like thunder, resounding throughout the room.
