"No problem. Let's hand it over to the distribution department to negotiate." Su Lingxi agreed readily, not only because she trusted Tracy, but also because she had seen the director's editing ideas and had a general understanding of the film. "There is still a market for romantic comedies. But we'd better get this done before September. The Toronto Film Festival is coming soon, and they will have many distributors to choose from."

The Toronto Film Festival is different from the Cannes Film Festival. It does not repeat the model of other film festivals. It focuses on screening new films, does not give awards, and does not have competition units. It has always been an excellent trading platform for excellent films.

Tracy looked up at her in surprise. "You even took Toronto's influence into consideration. It seems your business sense is not just reflected in the media."

Su Lingxi was helpless. "If I don't know anything, I might be fooled by my employees and become an idiot boss who knows nothing about the company."

She doesn't have to do everything herself, but at least she has to take care of everything in the company. Even if she can't show up often, she has to keep abreast of the situation at all times.

Otherwise, who would treat her as the boss? They would just treat her as the company mascot.

Tracy shrugged. "You're right. I'll pass the matter along. The price should be under five million. The sooner the better."

Su Lingxi nodded modestly, accepting the figure of five million well.

The film distribution of "Death of Romanticism" was very successful. Even though the distribution process was a bit difficult at the beginning, Sunrise took this opportunity to establish a national distribution system. Now for the company, distributing a small or medium-cost film is no longer a difficult task, and it is easy to pay $5 million to buy out the distribution rights.

The male and female protagonists of "The Unexpected" look very well matched, and the agency companies behind them are also very powerful. There is no need to worry about publicity and promotion, and the possibility of the movie making a profit is also very high.

There was no reason for her not to agree to such an investment that was almost certain to make a profit.

Unfortunately, the serious work meeting between the two did not last long as a call from Disney's film purchasing director suddenly came in.

"Dear, do you mean tomorrow night? Of course, it would be my pleasure, but I need to check the schedule for tomorrow night..."

In fact, after the opening box office of "Freedom Road" was announced, Su Lingxi became a hot new figure in the Hollywood social circle. Countless celebrities called her and invited her to parties, dinners or movie premieres. Among them were not only big-name stars who loved socializing, but also the head of the production department of Warner Bros., the CTO of 20th Century Fox, and even Shirley Lansing of Paramount...Even invitations from various luxury brands came in like snowflakes, whether it was Chanel or LV's designer dinners, all of them were now open to her, even though her contract with DIOR was nominally due to expire in a month.

Hollywood has actively and proactively shown its most enthusiastic side. Su Lingxi is certainly not stupid enough to turn down these precious resources and opportunities, which has led to her work schedule becoming busier starting from this July.

Add to that the paparazzi in New York who follow her almost 24 hours a day, and the various interview invitations and variety show invitations, and the entire team is almost too busy to handle everything. It is no exaggeration to say that they are like frequent flyers.

In the busy work, time has entered August.

On August 8, "Freedom's Way" was released simultaneously in several European countries and achieved a good result of 9 million US dollars in the first week; on August 2000, "Freedom's Way" was officially released in Japan, South Korea and mainland theaters, and the mainland is expected to open with 8 million US dollars.

Compared to the explosive start in North America and Latin America, the performance of the Asian market was slightly weak, but it did not affect the global box office data of "Freedom Road" at all, which continued to rise and rushed straight into the 10-12 billion range.

This year's film market is different from last year's. There are big-budget science fiction films like "Game Hunter" that can get nearly 20 billion at the global box office. Once the global box office of "Freedom Road" reaches 12 billion, it will be able to secure the North American runner-up and the annual championship, and it is even possible to win the global box office championship.

Of course, there are many big-budget Hollywood films that have won both the North American and global box office titles.

But no film starring an Asian actor has ever received such an honor!

And it's just an art film.

If "Freedom Road" was a more pleasing and shorter commercial film, then the box office might be close to "Game Hunter", or even higher...

Hollywood film producers were excited, and Su Lingxi himself was shocked by the box office performance of the film in the later period: not to mention the Latin American market, the North American box office performance of "Freedom's Way" was really too amazing, with the cumulative box office exceeding 11 million US dollars in 2 days, and the box office on Friday of the following week did not fall but increased instead, raking in 3200 million US dollars in one day - most movies that are strong in the first week would be lucky if they did not plummet in the second week, and it is rare to have such a strong trend.

The phenomenal popularity of the film also had a positive impact on Su Lingxi's popularity. In the first few days, there were more comments online discussing the film's plot than the actors themselves. However, as word of mouth grew day by day, posts discussing the actors gradually increased on the Internet. Her and Sigourney's names began to be repeatedly praised and discussed by netizens, and even the film critics had the same attitude.

Even though there are some controversial topics about the film itself, so far, no audience, whether at home or abroad, has given any bad reviews to the two actresses.

There is no need to say much about the domestic public opinion situation. Whether it is Weibo, Douyin, or the Xiaohongshuban group, there are unanimous praises for Su Lingxi's acting skills - after all, her popularity among the public and the number of fans are there, and the base is large enough.

The foreign film review website Su Lingxi did not allow the team to interfere too much, but the audience's feedback was mostly surprisingly positive.

Seeing her interpretation of Charlotte being praised by audiences from so many different countries, races and skin colors, and seeing this artistic road movie raking in box office revenue in theaters...her heart felt warm, as if something was so full that it was about to overflow.

She has made many films and experienced the feeling of creating something from nothing many times, but for her, this is the first work that is truly aimed at audiences around the world.

Browsing the praises and affirmations from all kinds of audiences on the Internet, a small seed in Su Lingxi's heart quietly broke through the ground.

So what if she is a foreign actress? She can still break into North America, the world's largest box office market.

She proved everything with her actions.

Therefore, the movie "Freedom Road" means a lot to her.
