"Hi bro—"

The fat-headed and big-eared Harvey had a bear hug with Wu Xiaozu very enthusiastically, and the strong cologne smell on his body could hardly conceal the scum smell deeply revealed.

The whole ugly face was full of excitement, and he took the initiative to introduce to the middle-aged Jewish man and Wu Xiaozu: "This is Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Film Company. This is Wu, the great director of HK."

"Hello, Wu, it's an honor to meet you."

Xie took two quick steps, stretched out his hand actively, smiled politely, and was full of enthusiasm like a Jew. When he saw Wu Xiaozu, it was like seeing a stack of 'Franklin' waving.

"Me too, it's a pleasure to meet Mr. Xie Yi." Xiaozu Wu shook hands with the other party with a smile on his face.

New Line is well-known in the North American independent film circle. At first, it released European and local low-cost horror films. It is a common second-hand dealer in the North American independent film circle.Later, he entered the production industry and made a living investing in low-cost B-grade movies.

New Line has also attracted the attention of the film industry because it purchased the copyright of Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in North America and its successful operation and distribution.In later generations, Brother Long's "Rush Hour" series was produced by them...

This time, the continued popularity of "Seven Sins" in North America is also due to the cooperation of New Line Pictures.Therefore, this is also the reason why the other party treats Wu Xiaozu so enthusiastically.

Compared with other Chinese-American filmmakers, Wu Xiaozu's entry into Hollywood seems to be much smoother, and he has not really encountered "difficulties".Unlike Li Lianjie and others in the past, who still had to be rejected, on the contrary——

Since knowing that Xiaozu Wu came to the United States to film, Shay is always ready to visit in person.

This can also be regarded as the "card face" that Director Wu has made internationally over the years, and the box office success of "Seven Sins" in the United States this time... This proves that his own film style is very suitable for the North American market, unlike many foreign films. The director is so uncomfortable.

"The number of screens of "Seven Sins" in the United States will remain at 900-1200. The performance prediction will increase rapidly with the spread of publicity and word of mouth." There are good friendships on the line.”

"I will try my best to let them increase the number of screenings, and increase the number of golden screenings. The word-of-mouth of this drama is very good. Although it has been released for more than a month, because it has been kept in Asian gathering places and kept in a small range of screenings, generally speaking, The market potential of the film has not been fully stimulated."

Shay smiled confidently, "According to the estimates made by our marketing department, if this movie can fully stimulate the market potential, it can reach at least 3200 million to 3700 million US dollars. I am very confident in this. I am confident in this The movie has confidence."

"Approximately how much is the investment in publicity?" Wu Xiaozu smiled, staring straight at the two Jews.

He is well aware of the troubles caused by the distribution.

But it's difficult for him to intervene in Hollywood for the time being... It doesn't mean he doesn't understand at all.Don't look at the excitement he said, but how much money can really fall into his own pocket is an unknown.

"I don't think it's going to be less than $200 million."

Xie Yi's eyes flickered, and he was quite surprised by Wu Xiaozu's focus. At the same time, he was not surprised to see Harvey, and he immediately understood that the other party was not Xiaobai who didn't understand anything.

He didn't have to blatantly cheat Wu Xiaozu, but if he had the opportunity to make calculations in his favor within the scope allowed by the rules, why not do it?
This is also the 'instinct' of being a second-hand businessman. Of course, he does have sincerity towards the cash cow that can make money.This may also be a Jewish instinct.

"It seems that this is not a small investment." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, not paying too much attention to such small thoughts.

No way, who made him an 'outsider'.

"I will control the overall investment ratio with Shay." Harvey said proactively.

Compared with Shay, Harvey himself can appreciate Wu Xiaozu's 'value' better.

"How do you want to promote it?"

"The film has a good reputation and has won various film critics' awards. We can focus on this. At the same time, I suggest that we increase the investment in Oscar's public relations." Shay came up with a plan very familiarly.

"I'm already working on the Oscars," Harvey said.

"?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at the other party, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "That's all? With all due respect, such a conventional promotional rhythm is not new."

"Wu, do you have other ideas?" Harvey asked proactively.

Did he know that Wu Xiaozu in front of him was not just an ordinary director.Seeing the other party smile, he knew that the other party seemed to have his own propaganda ideas.

Wu Xiaozu smiled.

Instead of continuing, he shrugged at the two of them.Just at this time, "Chinatown" will continue filming, leaving only the two Jews looking at each other.

"Are you willing to believe that he has other reliable methods?" Shay asked suspiciously.

Harvey grinned, noncommittal.

Xie Yi glanced at him, shrugged in the same way, and didn't continue to say anything... He also understood that Harvey was undoubtedly more inclined to Wu Xiaozu than himself.

Of course Wu Xiaozu has other methods. It can only be said that the current Harvey has not really cultivated to such a bottomless level.

The day of filming of "Chinatown" is over.

Wu Xiaozu and Harvey came to an ordinary bar on the street together.

"Two glasses of beer."

Harvey sat down next to Wu Xiaozu, "Shay's New Line Films is a rare company in the independent film industry that has perfect distribution capabilities in North America."

Wu Xiaozu picked up the cold beer on the bar and took a sip.

"If you really have a good way of publicity, you might as well talk about it." Harvey took the initiative: "If it is feasible, I will arrange it. You should understand that our interests are the same..."

Wu Xiaozu continued to drink indifferently until the beer in the glass was drained, leaving only a little beer froth, then he put down the glass and looked at Harvey beside him with bright eyes.

"Do you know where the most attractive part of this drama is?"

"Suspense? Human nature..." Harvey tried to guess.

"What do you believe in?" Wu Xiaozu suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was trying to induce the other party like Satan.

Harvey raised his eyelids, his eyes flickered, lost in thought.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Xiaozu took out his leather jacket, pulled out a $5 bill with 'Lincoln' printed on it, and pressed it under the cup.

"For a movie with word of mouth, huge controversy is not a bad thing." Wu Xiaozu got up and left, leaving a meaningful sentence.

seriously.

He didn't expect that Harvey didn't understand this at this time.

But think about it, Hollywood did not really realize the existence of 'Internet thinking' at this time.

What is the biggest controversy of "Seven Sins"?
In the previous life, this movie was able to sell hundreds of millions of box office in North America, not only because of the good reputation of this movie.

Or because of the huge controversy in this drama, and even got into a huge quarrel.

Many conservatives have even continued to lash out.

This kind of controversy has made this drama attract more and more people's attention.

Wu Xiaozu walked out of the bar with a wide smile on his lips.

Inexplicably, I felt the excitement of doing something bad in my heart, and this feeling seemed to return to the days when I used unscrupulous methods.

In this foreign country with no roots, he needs to be cautious while being 'impulsive'.

Wu Xiaozu walked towards a 'second-hand store' across the street.

　It's really hard to have a cold...
