Chapter 271 Round Table Conference
Four changes tomorrow, ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket!
———————
Hong Dali told Yu Meiqin and other children his glorious stories, from the concert to buying a house and land, and then to the family meeting to save the big turtle. It was clapping and applauding after listening to it, and I was hooked.
And at the same time, on the other side of the ocean, Kenrimei, Hollywood.
A huge conference room.
In the center of the meeting room is a super huge round table. There are a total of eight seats around the round table, and one person sits on each seat. But at this time, the indoor light deliberately created a dim effect, making it difficult for everyone to see clearly, full of a sense of mystery.
Today, the occasion where these eight people are present is one of the most important meetings in Jianlimei Hollywood, the round table meeting.
The eight people who can sit here are all the top figures of several major Hollywood companies, and they can be called the kind who can make Jianlimei entertainment circle tremble a few times by stomping their feet.
It can be said that every round table meeting is held when Hollywood is facing the most important issues.
And at this moment, one of the eight people, holding a report in his hand, was reading slowly: "Hong Dali, the only son of Hong Weiguo, Hong Family, a giant family in the Kingdom of Heaven, is idle and idle, nicknamed the super prodigal son. "
"However, this person is very lucky. He likes to engage in any industry, but he has made a lot of money in everything he does. Recently, he rescued the big turtle Xuanwu, which triggered the era of great economic development in the kingdom of heaven."
The voice of the person reading the document was vaguely James who had had contact with Hong Dali before!
"Well, these are just a general idea, is there any specific content?" At this time, a slightly older person sitting on the other side asked: "Dear James, you know, it's just these, for us Nothing works. The only information I get from these materials is that this is a man with good luck—and nothing else."
"Specifically..." Mentioning this, James spread his hands helplessly: "After all, this person has only recently entered our field of vision. Helpless. But this Hong Dali usually does everything, and he doesn't have a specific goal, which makes our intelligence personnel helpless. The only thing we know so far is that this Hong Dali is very lucky, that's all."
He said very helplessly,
And so it is.
Hong Dali is involved in almost all walks of life, one day in catering and the next in land. The day after tomorrow, I went to play games again—such a person. Who can catch his exact information?
"Just kidding." The other smiled disdainfully. He said: "The higher ups asked Hollywood to suppress Hong Dali, but they didn't even have detailed information. How can we do this? There have been legends of the Four Holy Beasts in the Kingdom of Heaven since ancient times, and now the big snapping turtle is deliberately promoted by the Kingdom of Heaven as a fetish." Worship. It has a great impact on morale. Last time you went to ask for a rented snapping turtle and failed, what should we do now to suppress the morale of the opponent?"
"What can I do?" James shrugged his shoulders: "The kingdom of heaven has always been our most important enemy in Jianlimei. It is absolutely impossible to start a war, so we can only fight economic warfare. Now the higher-ups want us to find a way by ourselves, saying To be honest, I have nothing to do right now.”
"It doesn't matter if you can't help it, sir." At this time, the third person said slowly, "We are a film and television group, and we can't get involved in other aspects. But we only need to suppress the film and television industry in Heaven. Well, Is their "Eternal Dragon Slaying the Great Rivers and Lakes" already in post-production? We just need to make a fuss about it. James, the "Magic Age" filmed by your company is about to be released? Maybe we can consider, It was put on the same day as their "The Great Rivers and Lakes Relying on Heaven and Slaying Dragons"..."
"I refuse this!" James shook his head resolutely: "My "Age of Magic" still needs at least two to three months to be able to premiere, if it is brought forward. Obviously, the preparation is not sufficient, and the audience is not happy. Will buy it."
"Then who still has a movie that will be released soon?" The third person asked slowly: "This time we just need to snipe their box office revenue. Let them understand that even if there are big snapping turtles, their movies are worthless." Let me mention it. In this way, we will re-open technical support as a weight when the time comes, and I believe they will seriously consider our suggestion of renting snapping turtles. At that time, hehe, the myth of Xuanwu will naturally be self-defeating."
"I agree with this idea." At this time, the first person who spoke nodded and said: "However, I suggest that, just to be on the safe side, we can consider increasing the number of films to two, so that at the premiere of "Yi Tian Slayer: The Great Jianghu" , it must be very nice.”
"I second." "Second." "Second."
Now everyone seconded the proposal, and the third person nodded and said: "Well, then this one will be considered passed. Does anyone know which two films will be released in the near future?"
"Well..." James thought for a while: "Currently, there are two films "Scream Hour" and "Ace Air Strike" that will be shot with a budget of about 10 million yuan. One is a horror film and the other is a war film. Although the production cost It’s not as good as the 15 million yuan cost of “The Great Rivers and Lakes of Relying on the Heaven and Slaying the Dragon”, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. At that time, we just need to compete with them at the box office.”
""Scream Hour" and "Ace Strike"?" The third person thought for a while, nodded and said: "Alright, let's play with them first with these two low-cost movies, by the way, these two companies The strength is not enough to enter the core of our Hollywood, so we need to publicize it well, so it is best if we win, and if we lose, it is not a big deal."
James smiled and said: "I understand, I will deal with this matter when I go back. These two companies must be very happy to get the support of our Hollywood." After saying this, James asked again: "By the way, because the world We want to compete head-on with the local film protection regulations, and we need a lot of public relations expenses, how much do you think is appropriate?"
The third person said slowly: "Ten million dollars must be enough."
"Okay, that's no problem!" Having said this, James laughed immediately: "Two small companies that are not well-known can overwhelm them so much that they can't hold their heads up. From this point of view, they must be very uncomfortable. ,Ha ha."
It was interesting to hear what he had to say. The other seven people in the conference room also laughed.
At this moment, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the third person asked with a smile, "Well, is there anything else? Does that Hong Dali have any other actions recently?"
"Others, wait for me to see." James looked at the report in his hand: "Tomorrow is the first game carnival he created. It seems to be related to things like online games."
"This Hong Dali is really messing around with everything." The third person smiled and said with disdain: "Okay, it's a waste of time for a little guy who spends money recklessly to hold a round table meeting just for him. .Since there is nothing else to do, let’s adjourn the meeting. Just wait for the good news.”
...
Early the next morning. The ninth floor of Chenhui Building. Caiwei Film and Television Company.
Lao Deming walked around the conference room profusely in sweat, checking the time from time to time, and finally, the door of the room was pushed open. Hong Dali walked in leisurely. Lao Deming rushed forward and said anxiously: "Young master, it's a big deal, a big deal!"
"What's the big deal, why are you in such a hurry?" Hong Dali said strangely, "No big things happened recently!"
"It's Hollywood!" Laudming said gloomily, "The two Hollywood films "Scream Hour" and "Ace Strike" have announced their premieres and release dates in our country. It's... on July 6th. Day, two hours ahead of us!"
"Oh?" After hearing what Lau Deming said, Hong Dali understood: "They plan to compete with us for the box office?"
"It must be!" Lao Deming said: "July 6th is the weekend, and these two films are released in China at the same time. I'm afraid our box office will..."
"The box office, it doesn't matter if it's high or low. Besides, isn't the edited film pretty good?" Hong Dali said strangely: "But speaking of it, why can their films be shown in our country, but ours can't be shown in theirs?" Release? What is the reason for this?"
"It's because of the national film and television protection regulations." At this time, Zhang Cai explained to Hong Dali: "All countries have protection measures for local films. For example, our country only imports about 30 American films and releases them domestically. There are only so many under the WTO agreement, otherwise there are fewer. These films have to go through layers of approval. Not only is there a quality problem, the key problem is that the number of screens in a country is limited, there are so many movies every year, etc. Go up, naturally the golden water tower will get the moon first."
"That's kind of interesting." Hong Dali rubbed his chin and smiled, "In other words, they got stuck on our "Eternal Dragon Slaying the Great Rivers and Lakes", and then their "Screaming Hour" and "Ace Air Strike" didn't work." Got stuck by us?"
"That's almost what it means." Lao Deming said bitterly: "This group of people is obviously planning to compete with us for the box office, but we can't protest this kind of thing. It's really maddening!"
"That's okay, just do your job well," Hong Dali was not worried at all: "Anyway, I believe the eyes of the masses are discerning!"
"Okay, then, then I'll go back first." Lao Deming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went out.
In fact, it is no wonder that he is so nervous. After all, the film and television industry here in the Kingdom of Heaven is much worse than Hollywood, and he is inherently lacking in confidence. Now that he hears that Hollywood blockbusters are going to compete with him for the box office, anyone will feel uncertain.
Hong Dali didn't care. Mr. Jin Yongjin's books had been sold in dozens of countries. The plots in this "Jianghu" were almost all dry stuff. He really didn't believe that "Jianghu" would not be able to beat the other party at the box office.
"Sister Cai, where is Xiaoyi?" After Lao Deming went out, Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai and asked, "It seems that she went out after arriving here, do you know where she went?"
"Young master, have you forgotten?" Zhang Cai smiled and said, "Today is the day of the first game carnival. Xiaoyi went there to check."
"Oh," Hong Dali said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot! Let's go and have a look together at that time!" ()
