Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Originally, they chose to release "The Last Afterglow" instead of cooperating with Heye and refused to release "Cellmates" just because of something they did.

After all, Heye had no reputation at that time. Although they were very powerful in Hanxia, ​​was this Hanxia?

This is America, the real Jerusalem of the film and television industry. Film and television industries from any other country would be unwatchable here, not to mention that Hanxia itself is one of the worst regions.

We are not targeting them. In the beginning, it was just a matter of convenience and it was easy. After all, just by slightly suppressing an unknown small company, we can win the favor of a film and television industry tycoon like Twenty-First Century Fox.

How to do such a good deal? Do I need to be taught? No.

And the most important point is that "The Last Afterglow" itself has great momentum. It is the kind of work that is favored by everyone before it is released. It has extremely high potential. Whether it is the script, cast, or production scale, it has reached a very high level. The overall project rating is above AAA.

This is America's unique [3A system].

That is, the three A's: 'high cost A lot of money', 'high resources A lot of resources', and 'time investment A lot of time'.

This set of evaluation standards is not only reflected in games, but also in movies, TV series, music, and various 3A works.

"The Last Afterglow" is a project that was successfully rated 3A and has amazing commercial potential.

On the other hand, unknown small companies, coupled with low-cost projects that come from nowhere, have unclear business prospects.

How should I choose? Do I need to say more?
As for the other party's identity as the director of the Xia Olympic Games, this is not even a very good tag.

After all, Zhang Zelin is also the director of the Hanxia Olympics and has been to Hollywood before.

But what is the final result?
It was still a flop, with the box office plummeting and not even half of its cost recovered.

And America also has Olympic directors, and there are many of them, because they have hosted many Olympic Games.

But there are also Olympic directors who end up in disgrace.

So this identity is really nothing special in Hollywood and it is not a very valuable identity.

They made their choice without any hesitation.

Up to now, the box office of "The Last Afterglow" has collapsed, and now it seems to be continuing to collapse, and the online reviews are also constantly declining.

On the contrary, the low-budget movie "Cellmates", which they had previously ignored, has now become the focus of public opinion and its popularity continues to rise.

According to the feedback now, many cinemas under their cinema chain have received complaints from many people, questioning why they did not release "Cellmates" and demanding that they release it immediately.

These cinema chain bosses never dreamed that such a thing would happen, so they held an emergency alliance meeting overnight. Representatives from all major mainstream cinema chains were present, and they were all absolutely high-level figures.

In America, all walks of life have alliances, guilds, and they also communicate in groups. The same is true for the film industry, which has a film and television alliance and a theater alliance.

The meeting was held in New York. At the beginning, a white-haired boss asked, "Why did you all come to today's meeting? I'm sure you all know that we should make some changes to the arrangements for the recent projects."

"That's right. I think we should bring up the cooperation with Heye Film and Television again and release "Cellmates" as soon as possible." The fans below were urging us to do so!

Now everyone wants to watch this movie, but the problem is that even if they want to watch it, they can't, so they can only protest. So every second that passes is a loss of money, and it means a dollar less earned.

This seemed unacceptable to them.

Now that things have come to this point, naturally no one would be stupid enough to bring up the previous refusal to cooperate with Heye.

"Then each company should send a representative to negotiate as soon as possible. The earlier the film is released, the more losses can be recovered."

"Yes, as compensation, we can give them a higher initial screening schedule and reduce the screening schedule of The Last Sunset for them."

During this period, "The Last Afterglow" consumed a lot of their resources, and not only the resources for scheduling the film, but also the costs for publicity and promotion, and other miscellaneous costs.

All these costs added together are a terrifying number, and now it has become a bad project, so we must seek workarounds. Then, "Cellmates", which has the best commercial performance, is the best choice.

As for the public opinion storm and controversy?

They don't care at all. They accommodated those minority groups before only because they wanted to make money from them. Even if they didn't care about their feelings, they couldn't make much of a wave. In addition, given the current social environment and situation, they actually know it better than anyone else.

The normal groups didn't want to endure it any longer, and the new person in power was against L/_BGTQ. Now some rumors have been heard that even the Washington, D.C., is going to issue a federal bill to severely suppress these special groups as the first step in economic recovery.

As for economic recovery, the cultural industry is naturally crucial. It is highly likely that these minority groups will no longer be tolerated to mess around and create such a mess.

So the future is still uncertain. Will they care about the controversy surrounding "Cellmates"?

As for the conflicts and unpleasantness that had occurred before, and now that they were renewing their desire to cooperate, they had never cared about whether there would be any unexpected events on the Heye Film and Television side.

Again, who the hell has a grudge against money?

In the business world, there are never eternal enemies or eternal friends. Even if someone is the murderer of your father, if you can make money in the business world, you can sit down calmly and talk about making money in business.

Then after the talk, you can shake hands and say with a smile: You will always be my best brother and beloved friend!
Now the way to make money is right in front of us. The popularity and public opinion of the movie "Cellmates" has grown so rapidly, but there is no corresponding level of promotion. It is a complete waste of traffic. Traffic is something that will drop rapidly after its peak period, so it is a pure waste.

Now this movie is famous but has nowhere to be released. I believe that Heye Film and Television, as the producer, are the most anxious people.

Therefore, as long as the brain is not too dull, no normal person will refuse. If you feel unhappy for a while, just pretend it never happened. On the contrary, in the film and television industry, theaters are the real father among fathers. Without theaters, no matter how awesome you are, it will be useless. Therefore, generally no one dares to offend them.

I still say that, if I slap you it's purely because I respect you, and if you dare to fight back, you're wrong!

Didn't you see that we all gave in? We reduced the screening schedule of the 3A-rated "The Last Sunset" for you. This is already an apology, and you should accept it with a smile.

That's what they mean.

So, when representatives from the theater alliance came to Heye Films, Xia Yuan was stunned. (End of this chapter)
