Chapter 275


At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, Merika, Hollywood


Third Round Table Conference.


"James, how are box office sales in Heaven Country?" Ask the low voice sitting in the north. To compete with "Sky Sword and Saber Dragon: Pugilistic World" at the box office, Hollywood has held three Round Table Conferences. They seem to make mountains out of molehill.


However, orders from above should not be disobeyed. Their main goal right now is to fight Pugilistic World while it is playing, so the better the "Trump Card Air Strike" is done at the box office, the better, the higher the odds of reducing the box office take of Pugilistic World. They had no choice but to take it seriously.


James looked at his laptop, his face smiling. “At present, we have passed five million in box office numbers, and the number is still increasing rapidly. I believe it's possible. Today's box office takings can easily surpass the eight million dollar mark! Haha, it is quite good that the film we invested seven million can get extraordinary results. ”


They invested seven million dollars, but the film had already reached the eight million dollar mark at the box office. It was actually an achievement to be proud of.


The faces of all in the meeting room smiled at James' announcement. Someone said, “Yes, it's really not bad. If the current situation continues, the box office final result should be around fifteen million dollars. ”


Another person said, “Yes, in this case, I think the box office take for their Pugilistic World opening day will definitely not be high. Hehe, they invested twenty million into the Pugilistic World. If the box office take doesn't even reach ten million, I imagine Hong Dali's face will look very bad. ”


Thomas laughed hysterically. “I can almost see Hong Dali's defeated expression, haha! Against Hollywood, hmph, how can we let him win? He may have had tremendous luck, but luck has no say in box office picks! "


The third person said, laughing, “That's right. Let's see what expression he'll have this time. We will stick to this tempo and fight the Heavenly State film industry. As long as it's an epic film, we'll definitely compete with them at the box office. We will continue until they lend us the Big Turtle. ”


Everyone laughed . James suddenly asked, “But, according to the World Film Protection Regulation, will the State of Heaven allow us to continue doing that? To be honest, I found even this one time hard to believe. ”


The fourth person said, laughing, “We have already established contact with their side. The price is quite expensive. There is an old saying in the Heavenly Country — money can make the devil do your job. So, dear James, you don't have to worry about any of that. ”


James said out loud, “That's great! This time, let's win the fight beautifully! ”



Heavenly State, State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television


A middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting with the Head of the National Security Bureau Bureau on the sofa. He chuckled softly as he said, “Keke, Head of Bureau, Hollywood has invested a large sum of money this time. Ten million Merikan Dollars, hehe. What are your plans, Bureau Chief? "


The Bureau Chief sipped tea and replied casually, “Since they came first to offer us money and jumped into the grave themselves, there is no reason for us not to accept it. Keke, I think they still don't know what kind of opponent they will face this time. I hope they will be a little surprised when the time comes. ”


The middle-aged man asked carefully, “But the Bureau Chief, are you so sure that things will go smoothly on our side? I was actually planning to surprise the opening two films. Pugilistic World is a rare epic production today. I've seen the preview of the movie, and it has pretty good special effects and animations. However, if it is going to go head-to-head against a Hollywood blockbuster, the chances of success are the most fifty-fifty. If it should fail … "


The minister calmly said, “Keke, you are still underestimating the scope of Hong Dali's influence. Have you heard the phrase we have in Tianjing City now. ”


The middle-aged man was surprised. "Oh, what's that saying?"


The Bureau Chief chuckled lightly and said slowly, “That word is rather interesting. Even if you question the validity of 1 + 1 \= 2, you definitely should not question the luck of Hong Dali. ”


Youuuu !!! The middle-aged man spat out the tea in his mouth and asked, surprised, “That's strong? However, box office sales are not something that can be completed with luck alone! ”


Minister said, laugh, “Wait and see. Hehe . As of now, I have not seen anyone who has ever fought Hong Dali and ended up unscathed. ”


The middle-aged man agreed. "Keke, that's right. That is for sure . Oh yes, Bureau Chief, ten million dollars Merikan … "


The Bureau Chief took a bank card from the middle-aged man and said, “Hong Dali will probably need funds in the near future, let's sponsor him personally with these ten million dollars. Ha ha . ”


"Agreed! I'll sit and watch, then. Let's see what our lucky mascot can cook this time! ”



The first wave of excitement from the "Air-Raid of the Trump Cards" had just subsided before the second wave of madness descended.


Charity auction location, Mingjing Building. Level 18, Penghui Film Operations Office in Tianjing City, Prime Screening “Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword: Pugilistic World. ”


Hong Dali's classmates, Ling Yi, Du Xinzhen, and the others had already requested tickets to Dali for the premiere.


It must be understood that this is a precious and rare commodity. There are many that pull all kinds of ropes and pass through many back doors, as well as asking, pleading, flattering, and even bribing to lay their tickets for the premiere of the Pugilistic World.


The guest list for this premiere is very difficult to improve, especially since there are many entertainment stars helping them. All the actors who worked at Pugilistic World, as well as the popular stars in "I Am a Singer" who helped with the soundtrack, will all be present today. The set was extremely luxurious and clearly surpassed everyone's expectations.


Most importantly, Penghui Films' president, Lao Deming, would probably announce some earth-shattering news, much to the surprise that they would make entertainment headlines.


Based on Lao Deming's position, the news must have been very shocking. If it was connected to Pugilistic World as well as Hong Dali's myriad of connections, then it would definitely be entertainment headlines as he claimed. Obviously it's not an empty claim.


Ling Yi asked as they rushed to the spot. "Xinzhen, did Big Bro Dali say that he would be here today?"


If Big Bro Dali had not attended the premiere today, it would have lost a bit of his excitement.


Du Xinzhen thought about it. "Let me predict .. Who knows? Big Bro Dali always came and went as he wished. Who knows if he'll show up today … "


Ji Zhiruo said softly, “I didn't see Young Master Dali's car procession. I guess he hasn't come yet. ”.


Ling Yi shook his head. "Not here yet? Poor . ”When they reached the 18th floor where the Penghui Films Operations Office in Tianjing was located, they were attacked by a wave of bright camera flashes.


Journalists from all major media outlets were present there with full "battle" equipment, as well as laptops on their backs and recorders in their hands, blocking the entrance. The heads collected numbered at least four or five hundred. The atmosphere was electric, and they were so excited that they almost pushed their microphones into the mouths of the guests present.


Luckily Ling Yi and his group were definitely not celebrities. The staff led them to the hallway to the side. After all, the red carpet was only for production team members, actors, and other celebrities.


The ground suddenly resounded with screams and the crowd pushed forward. A swarm of overzealous reporters rushed forward. "Y!!! Director Lin is here! " Ling Yi and his friends turned their heads and saw a man pouching all over, licking a lollipop. It was Director Lin Hao. The old man had the popular singer Jiang Ruoyu in his arms. The two walked together on the red carpet, waving to everyone as greetings.


Many cameras flashed suddenly, flashes coming faster than rain.


"Director Lin, I'm Star Weekly Magazine reporter Tang Anqi. Everyone is watching the Pugilistic World. Now before the premiere, can you share with us your thoughts? ” Tang Anqi, who is in the game fest, feels with her sharp intuition that the premiere of this movie will be big news all over the country. He has requested, and obtained the consent of his superiors, for the permission responsible for this report.


Tang Anqi got there first, followed by another journalist who came in haste. In the blink of an eye, Lin Hao was surrounded by a microphone. Its head was very large and looked like a single bud amidst many leaves.


To be honest, Director Lin was a director and an important person, but there was no need for them to work hard. However, it did show how much attention Pugilistic World was garnering. Ultimately, what caught the attention of the reporters was the battle between locally produced movies and Hollywood movies. They have heard that Hollywood has lined up two films, "Moment of Screaming" and "Air-Raid of the Trump Cards," to open against Pugilistic World at the box office. It is not easy to handle the look of Hollywood dominance.


Director Lin was well aware of the inner thoughts of these reporters. He smiled and said, “Today is a war, but I am sure we will win. Thank you . "He then walked slowly down the red carpet with Jiang Ruoyu and signed a huge poster of the Pugilistic World on the wall on one side. They then left the reporters behind and continued on their way.


Many reporters exclaimed, "Very cool, I like this type of guy!"


However, Tang Anqi was clearly much smarter, her mind much sharper. As he watched the backs of the two, he pondered. "There was no problem with Director Lin Hao appearing here, but why was he accompanied by Jiang Ruoyu? One is from Penghui Films, the other from Caiwei Entertainment. They only worked together in this one film, they should not have such a close relationship. Maybe they have something else going on?


The more he thought about it, the more frightening his mind was. There must be some kind of shocking conspiracy going on, he just doesn't know what it is. As he was torn between various possibilities, he suddenly saw the President of Penghui Films, Lao Deming, wearing the armband of Caiwei Entertainment on his upper arm. Tang Anqi was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue. He mumbled blankly, "Can't be ... The two companies are so close?"
