The preview screening was held as scheduled, and representatives of various theaters and media critics attended.The theater chain reacted differently, the vast majority of theater representatives think that "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a good movie, and at the same time, some people think that such a film may be given a cold reception when it is released in the hot summer file, for no other reason, it is really "The Seven Deadly Sins" points to the essence of human nature, and it is too dark.I am afraid that such a subject matter will not be able to reach most female audiences and students, and I am afraid that the male market alone will not be able to support this movie.And many men won't be able to stand this movie, so let's honestly go to the award line!
However, representatives of several theaters said that they would do their best to schedule "Seven Deadly Sins", and the biggest supporter is undoubtedly Qingfeng Cinema, a subsidiary of Qingfeng Group.And the media film critics applauded, fully affirming the artistry of "The Seven Deadly Sins", in fact, Li He has never understood the so-called film art, in his opinion, what can make money is a good movie.For example, in "Tang Detective III", the criticism of the critics cannot stop the fact that its box office exceeded 4 billion.It can be seen that the relationship between box office and word-of-mouth is not so big, especially in the summer and Chinese New Year files.In the end, most cinemas only agreed to arrange the film schedule according to the schedule, and only Qingfeng Cinema promised to release the film in Qingfeng Cinemas across the country with no less than 35% of the film schedule.Although the result was expected, Li He was still a little disappointed, the cinema is not a philanthropist, it also needs to make a profit, and the box office promising movies are undoubtedly the target of the theater chain to chase Next, the test screening of distributors in Asia is next, and the rest is okay, but RB and South Korean distributors are very excited, and they are addicted, making other distributors think that these two are perverts.The distributors in both countries decided to sign the contract on the spot, and the distributors in other countries also signed the contract after a few days of bargaining, and now it's up to Warner Bros.
Pictures.And the entertainment media, after the film critics collected a lot of benefit fees, began to boast about "The Seven Deadly Sins", what is the best suspense movie in history, the most in-depth crime film so far, etc.In addition, Lee Hyuk is only in his twenties, and the second feature-length film directed by him is about to be released, and fans are also boasting about Lee Hyuk's reputation as a genius director.Throughout the ages, the land of China has been obsessed with the words genius and prodigy, and it is still popular.Many people are curious about Li He, who has made great achievements at a young age, and decided to go to the cinema in the summer to find out, and "Genius Gunman" is also rising in the click-through rate of Penguin Video.In Li He's office, Li He was frantically coding words in front of the computer, and the speed made the box and the orange feel ashamed.Tang Qianqian walked in with tea, saw Li He concentrated, and asked, "What are you doing?"
”Li He didn't even raise his head and said: "I'm thinking about the script.........""
Oh my God!"
Tang Qianqian raised her forehead and said, "It won't be a new script again, right?"
”"It's just a rough idea, the script still needs to be improved, and some places still need to be filled in by Xiuxiu."
Li He explained.Tang Qianqian rolled her eyes: "Isn't it?"
The movie hasn't been released yet, do you have a new idea?
”"It's just a conceptual idea, and it's not mature ......yet," Li Hyuk said."
What's the idea?"
Tang Qianqian curiously leaned in front of the computer: "Source Code, what type?"
”Li He replied: "Action sci-fi." ”"Sci-fi, that has to be a big investment, right?"
Tang Qianqian thought about it."
It's not that much investment, and the most important thing about this opera is the concept of its source code, which is actually an action movie in the guise of science fiction.""
Oh....., it's the movie you promised Brother Jing!
Action movies are quite suitable for him. ”Tang Qianqian said clearly.At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Yang Xuewu stood at the door and coughed.Tang Qianqian looked at Yang Xuewu suspiciously, and then realized that her posture with Li He was very enchanting, and she hurriedly left Li He's arms with a red face."
Director, the head of Warner Greater China is already waiting for you in the conference room, and Mr.
Cheng and Mr.
Wang are also here."
Yang Xuewu said to Li He."
Okay, I got it, I'll go right away."
Li He nodded.In the conference room, Cheng Zhiwen talked with the vice president of Warner Greater China in fluent English, and Wang Changtian next to him couldn't understand and didn't bring an interpreter, so he could only stare dryly.At the same time, he scolded in his heart: "This fake foreign devil, don't speak good Chinese, what kind of bird language do you speak......"
Of course, Wang Changtian didn't show it at all, and nodded in agreement from time to time, yes and Oak.In fact, Cheng Zhiwen did it on purpose, and Cheng Zhiwen remembered the account of the last meeting at Penguin Pictures, and he had to find a place sooner or later.Cheng Zhiwen is not arrogant, but if he takes this opportunity to reach a consensus with Warner, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Penguin Pictures.The vice president of Warner Pictures Greater China is a Mexican-American named Jack Wells, tall and muscular, wearing sunglasses like an FBI agent.Being able to sit in the position of vice president of Greater China, Jack Wells is obviously not a fool, and he always looks to him on the left and refuses to disclose any conditions, which makes Cheng Zhiwen very disappointed."
Director Lee Hyuk has arrived."
Assistant Zhu Xiuzhen opened the door of the conference room, Li He walked in, if there is BGM, Li He wants to put the one who is the God of Gamblers."
Xiao He is here, come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr.
Jack Wells, vice president of Warner Pictures Greater China, Jack, this is director Li He Li."
Cheng Zhiwen introduced."
Hello, Mr.
Wells."
Li He's English is not very good, but he still has no problem communicating in daily life."
Jimmy, I like it when people call me Jimmy."
Jack Wells and Leh shake hands."
Come, let's sit down and talk......"
The two sides took their seats one after another, and negotiators from both sides also attended."
To get straight to the point, we at Warner want to buy out the distribution rights of 'Seven Deadly Sins' in North America, Europe and elsewhere for $1 million."
Jack Wells was blunt.This time, Wang Changtian's translator came, and after listening to the translation's words, he frowned slightly, to be honest, the price was lower than he expected.As soon as he wanted to say something, Li He preemptively said: "Jimmy, to be honest, this offer is a bit low, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to accept such conditions." ”"It's okay, business!
Let's talk about ......it," Jack Wells said.At this moment, he didn't act like an American with a straight intestine at all, but like a Chinese businessman.Wang Changtian thought about it and didn't interject, after all, the project "Seven Deadly Sins" was forced to be inserted by the light, and the previous qualifications in front of Penguin Pictures and DreamWorks were useless, so he simply listened to them negotiate.Cheng Zhiwen glanced at Wang Changtian and said to Jack Wells: "I am good friends with Mr.
Holman at your headquarters, and I heard that he is about to be promoted to CEO of Warner Pictures. ”I don't understand what Cheng Zhiwen is doing, but Jack Wells still nodded and said: "The board of directors of the group has passed a vote, and Mr.
Holman will officially take office in July." ”"Oh!
Then I'm going to call him to congratulate him......," Cheng Zhiwen said.
