Chapter 242

Hua Lai Emperor Entertainment was stunned by the combined punches of Universal Pictures and the crew of "Cats and Dogs". The eldest young master of the Qi family, who was slapped twice on his body, suddenly exploded his lungs.

In line with the policy of "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside", Qi Jiaming first called the representative of Tonghuanqiu who couldn't help but blame him for dumping him.

The relationship between the two companies was originally a cooperative relationship. In order to protect the innocence of the "Planet" series, the representative of Huanqiu arranged for Hualai Emperor Entertainment, which is indeed somewhat untenable from a moral point of view.What's more, Qi Jiaming is not only the behind-the-scenes boss of Hualai Emperor Entertainment, but also the heir of the Qi Group.As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Universal Pictures wants to penetrate the Chinese market more deeply. Of course, the Qi Group, which is a local snake, will try not to offend it as much as possible.Not to mention that in addition to film distribution, the two companies also have a lot of cooperation in other fields.

In order to make up for this, the representative of Huanqiu behaved very low profile on the phone, even contrary to the faint arrogance and disdain shown by Hollywood filmmakers when facing their counterparts in China, he sincerely apologized to Qi Jiaming and patiently explained that he had to The reason for doing this is because the "Planet" series has been released for more than 30 years, and it has already become the belief of all M and even global star fans.

And in the Hollywood norm where feelings are money, such beliefs naturally cannot be lived up to.

"We can all do wrong things, but 'Planet Return' can't."

Qi Jiaming's face was ashen, and he accepted Universal Pictures' explanation for the time being.But acceptance does not mean agreement. During the period when the two companies are still cooperating, Universal Pictures can do things that harm the interests of the alliance for its own benefit. Qi Jiaming absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior.He demanded that Universal Pictures must give Hualai Emperor Entertainment generous compensation.If Universal Pictures does not agree, the cooperation between the two companies will be terminated.

This is a big matter, and the global representatives dare not make up their minds.Had to call back to Hollywood headquarters.Fortunately, the Global Headquarters had already anticipated Qi Jiaming's reaction when it hinted that the employees would throw the blame, so after receiving a call from their own employees, they also expressed their concessions.After careful discussions between the two parties, Universal Pictures decided to give Hualai Emperor Entertainment an extra [-]% of the box office of "Return of the Planet" in China.

Only in this way, the profits of Universal Pictures in "Return of the Planet" in China will not be much. After all, the distribution theaters will always account for the majority of the box office share of a movie, and the share to the actors and directors, as well as taxes What the hell... Universal Pictures really doesn't make a lot of money.

If it weren't for the fact that Universal Pictures and Qi's Group have too close a cooperative relationship in other fields, they would never have made such a low-key behavior if they went deep into Universal Pictures.

Fortunately, Qi Jiaming accepted it as soon as he saw it.After receiving this generous compensation, they immediately reconciled with Universal Pictures.

And after resolving the estrangement within the company, Qi Jiaming can finally free up his hands to deal with the doubts from the outside media and fans about "Return of the Planet" stealing the box office.

As the distributor of "Return of the Planet" in the Chinese film market, Hualai Emperor Entertainment immediately contacted several movie theaters that were reported to have stolen photos of box office stone hammers.After that, Qi Jiaming ordered Hualai Emperor Entertainment's public relations department to invite major media to participate in the press conference held by Hualai Emperor Entertainment on "Return of the Planet" to steal the box office.At the press conference, Qi Jiaming personally explained to the major media and movie fans who have been paying attention to this matter, indicating that Hua Laidi Entertainment and the crew of "Return of the Planet" did not know about stealing the box office from the beginning to the end. A unilateral, private act of cinema.Hualai Emperor Entertainment and the crew of "Return of the Planet" express strong condemnation and indignation for this behavior, and will pursue the reputation loss caused by the behavior of the theaters to the movie "Return of the Planet"...

All in all, when Lu Heng saw Qi Jiaming's speech forwarded by major media on the Internet, he could only sigh sincerely: "What a big white lotus!"

Wei Linxuan glanced at Lu Heng inexplicably, but he really didn't get what the white lotus was.

However, no matter how much the outside world questioned Qi Jiaming's speech, after the press conference of Hua Laidi Entertainment, several movie theaters that were caught by netizens to steal the box office stone hammer came forward to apologize for the practice of covering themselves. The "box office stealing incident" that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry barely came to an end.

And this time is the second week when the two films are released at the same time. The cumulative box office of "Cats and Dogs" broke through 5000 million, while "Return of the Planet" suffered from word of mouth Waterloo because of this box office stealing incident, and even the box office was also affected, barely breaking through [-] million.

The disparity between the two sides was so great that Qi Jiaming never mentioned in any public place that he wanted to use "Return of the Planet" to snipe "Cats and Dogs".Even after being asked by reporters, he would change the subject with an unhappy face.

However, "Cats and Dogs" is taking advantage of this trend and will be officially released in Hollywood, Europe and the United States.

As the director, leading actor, producer and investor of "Cats and Dogs", Lu Heng must take the main creative members of the crew to various parts of the world to cooperate with overseas distributors in their promotional work.

The first stop for overseas promotion, no doubt, is naturally Hollywood, which is known as the holy land of global movies.

On February 26th, the eve of Valentine's Day, the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar, facing the heavy snow, the main creators of "Cats and Dogs" rushed to Hollywood.

The hotel where I stayed was arranged by Warner Bros., who is the publisher.According to Lu Heng's preferences and habits, he still decided on the hotel that Lu Heng would stay in every time he came to Hollywood.

In view of the scandal that "Cats and Dogs" was stolen by "Return of the Planet" some time ago, Warner Bros., which is also one of the eight major film companies, has indeed watched a lot of movies along with it.So much so that when seeing Lu Heng and his group, the representative of Warner who was in charge of picking up the crew of "Cats and Dogs" was extremely enthusiastic.

However, for Warner Bros. to set the first screening of "Cats and Dogs" in Hollywood on February 14th, Lu Heng still rejects it in his heart.

Not only Lu Heng refused, Wei Linxuan, the little boss Wei Linxuan who came with the group as a family member in the name of a manager, also expressed strong protest!

However, no matter how strongly the two protested and refused, the next day's Valentine's Day movie still came as scheduled.

As the overseas distributor of "Cats and Dogs", Warner Bros. arranged the first screening of the film after it was registered in Country M at the Huaxia Theater in Hollywood.

At seven o'clock in the evening on February 2th, when couples around the world were busy showing their love for the festival, a large wave of media and loyal fans had gathered outside the Huaxia Grand Theater early.

The bright red carpet reflected the falling snowflakes, and the two sides of the red carpet were filled with journalists and fans holding movie posters and guns.

When the cast of "Cats and Dogs" appeared on the red carpet, amazing screams erupted from the otherwise silent crowd.Movie fans from all over M screamed, shouted, and kept shaking the posters and lights in their hands.The media reporters guarding both sides of the red carpet also quickly pressed the shutter.Flashes turned the red carpet into a sea of ​​silvery white.

Just as Lu Heng and other actors waved to the fans and the media with smiles and enthusiasm, a toy gun made of fluorescent plastic from "Return of the Planet" was thrown out of the crowd, drawing an arc in the air The line brushed the heroine Chen Mengyi's cheek dangerously, and finally landed on the red carpet.

Both sides of the red carpet caught off guard suddenly fell silent,

A voice roared: "Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, take your garbage movies back to your country! You are not welcome here, you are not welcome in Hollywood, and die-hard fans of the "Planet" series will never forgive you—— "

In an instant, there was an uproar on both sides of the red carpet.The sound of media reporters pressing the shutter and the unbelievable screams of fans are in stark contrast to the dead silent crew members.
