After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 366 Shame on Bollywood

"What happened to America? What happened? The president stepped down? Another major attack, or are they going to war again."

"Forehead"

Guo Yongwen was speechless, what Chen Tianhong said was related to other people's politics, where would he know where to go.

"Nothing, Mr. Chen, it's because the negotiations on the copyright of "The Ninth District" in the United States are not going well. They are not very willing to buy. Most of those who are willing want to buy out the copyright at once, and are willing to share the box office with us. Yes, there are so many requests, currently there are only two distribution companies that are willing to follow our share, but the theater resources they can use are limited.”

The bad news from Guo Yongwen's mouth is also a common phenomenon at present, because compared with Western science fiction blockbusters, domestic sci-fi movies are much worse in terms of reputation and quality.

As a result, few foreign film and television distributors are willing to purchase the copyrights of domestic science fiction films.

For example, "The Ninth District" has a film and television distribution company willing to buy it, which is already very good, but most of it is because of Hongwen's reputation, but fame is not everything. After all, foreigners now recognize Chen Tianhong as a writer, not a writer. screenwriter.

"There are only two! They are so uncompetitive!"

Chen Tianhong was also very surprised. He thought that American film and television distribution companies would compete to bid.

Guo Yongwen blushed when he heard this. He is the person in charge, and the things he explained were not done well. Even if there are objective reasons, the responsibility cannot be escaped.

"Mr. Chen, we have reorganized the team and plan to fly to the United States tomorrow to discuss with the local area."

"Chinese New Year is coming soon, why are you flying to the United States! Just look for those two."

"But."

"It's nothing, but it's a waste of time for you to go back and forth. I want "The Ninth District" to be released in the United States as soon as possible. You can talk about it in other countries when the time comes. Lao Guo, don't worry, they are the ones who don't cooperate with us. Let’s do it this way, finalize the box office sharing contract as soon as possible.”

Chen Tianhong directly set the tone.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll do it right away."

Guo Yongwen agreed, Chen Tianhong is not only the screenwriter of "The Ninth District", but also the second boss of Yajue Company, so he still has some rights.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Mr. Chen is so anxious to let "District [-]" be released in the United States.

The reason is actually very simple. The US presidential election will begin in one month, and it is not known who will win by then. Chen Tianhong wants to get some insight into Besley before the election.

As for being so anxious, Chen Tianhong is not worried at all whether the theater's resources and film schedule will be affected.

Because when "The Ninth District" was released in the previous life, it was also not favored by the industry, but in the end it counterattacked and became the number one box office movie in the same period, and won the Oscar Award and won numerous praises.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianhong didn't continue to catch up on sleep. He took the laptop on the side, turned it on, logged into the mailbox, edited an email and sent it to Besley.

"Hello, Mr. President, I have seen your letter. I have to wait for the prequel of "Three-Body Problem". I am currently busy with the release of the sci-fi movie "District [-]" in your country."

Chen Tianhong replied to the email for two purposes, one is etiquette, and the other is to imply that Besley pays attention to this movie, otherwise the effect will not be achieved.

At this time, it is raining lightly in Kyoto, and the United States on the other side is full of stars.

The White House, the official residence of the President of the United States.

Besley has been very busy recently. In addition to handling the daily work of the president, he also has to prepare for the general election in a month.

Rubbing his eyes to relieve the soreness, he picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip. Besley regained his energy and planned to read the draft of tomorrow's speech soliciting votes again.

At this time, there was a new email notification in his private mailbox, and he opened it curiously, and found that it was just sent by Hongwen.

"Sci-fi movie? "The Ninth District"? Will it be released here?"

The amount of information revealed in just a few dozen words in the email, Besley was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized that he really didn't know about Chen Tianhong writing the script and investing in the movie, but he was quite interested.

""The Ninth District"..Why do you feel that the name of this movie is a bit familiar? The Ninth District, Nine, Nine Nine 81"

After looking back and forth at the movie title several times, and doing a math problem, Besley was stunned.

Even if he doesn't know the plot outline of "The Ninth District", he knows that the name of the movie is definitely not simple, and it is very likely to be alluding to something.

But Besley didn't think about himself, because in his heart he thought that he and Hongwen had a good relationship, not just a relationship between a book fan and the author, but a friend!

It is called Wangnianjiao in Chinese dialect.

So, the next email from Besley was like this.

"Mr. Hongwen, is there anything I can do for you?"

The reply was: "Thank you, Mr. President, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to go to the theater to support you then!"

Obviously, Chen Tianhong didn't want to owe Besley a favor.

"Well, let me see the time, Mr. Hongwen, I still hope that you can write the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible."

1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes without new email reminders.

"Well, Hongwen may have already gone to write."

Besley comforted himself in this way.

This is the helplessness in the relationship between fans and authors. Sometimes no matter how high your status is and how much money you tip, as long as the author is unwilling to write, there is really no good way.

After spending 10 minutes, Besley memorized the speech and checked the time, it was exactly a quarter past ten.

He picked up the phone and called his secretary Doris. In addition to explaining the schedule for tomorrow, he also asked her to pay attention to the release of "District [-]" in the near future.

Here, Chen Tianhong has fallen into a deep sleep again. Years ago, he had no plan to start writing, and he didn't want to write any books. He wanted to be a young man of the new century who lay flat.

In the next week, he stayed with his family and Yifei all the time, enjoying the beauty of life.

During the period, the release of "The Ninth District" in the United States was finally finalized. In fact, the contract had already been signed on the day Guo Yongwen called.

The review of the film took two days. Fortunately, some critical content in the film did not specify which country, and the connotation of Area 81 did not specifically mention any military secrets, so it was not deleted.

Then there is the work of publicity. The film and television distributor also borrowed Hongwen's fame to release "The Ninth District" and "Three-Body Problem" as a series of gimmicks, which really attracted the attention of many "Three-Body" fans .

The official release time has also been set, it is the second day of the Lunar New Year in China, but a premiere ceremony will be held on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and some entertainment stars, directors, and representatives from the local art circle will be invited to the premiere. Celebrities come to watch.

It's a pity that there are not many celebrities who accepted the invitation and decided to come. This is because the energy in the industry that bought the "Ninth District" film and television distribution company is not enough.

However, when the date of the premiere was approaching, the film and television distribution company suddenly broke a sensational news that the President of the United States, Besley, and his family would be there to watch the premiere!
Now not only those who received the invitation, but even those celebrities who did not receive the invitation said that they would be there then.

In addition, Huaxia's ambassador to the United States will also be present in his personal capacity to support. The news has spread to China. Li Maocai, the general manager of Yajue Film and Television, and Guo Yongwen, who has been promoted to deputy manager, urgently organized a delegation to charter a flight directly to the United States.

I have to pay attention!Not to mention that Besley is still in the position of president, who dares to say that he will not be re-elected in the next presidential election.

For this reason, Miao Mingjie, the behind-the-scenes director of Yajue Film and Television, even called Chen Tianhong and asked him if he would like to come over. After all, Besley's support at the scene must be for Chen Tianhong's face.

Chen Tianhong was also very surprised when he heard the news. He sent an email to ask Besley to pay attention to "The Ninth District" and go to the theater to support it if he had time, but this is just a polite way. How can the president of a country have time to go to the movie?
At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed. Is it impolite to insinuate others with such strong support?

Because of this, Chen Tianhong rejected Miao Mingjie's proposal, but he thought of a way to make up for it, writing the prequel of "Three-Body Problem" during the holiday.

The time soon came to the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the premiere of "The Ninth District" was no less lively than the Chinese New Year's Day, even the Bollywood annual awards ceremony not long ago.

It's just that the status of the guests present is too precious, compared to the stars and directors in the entertainment industry, they are nothing.

The one who can talk to President Besley in the circle is the famous Bollywood director Bobaka Williams. His films have won the best film of the year in Bollywood International for many times, and he can be called the leader of the American entertainment circle. national treasure.

But he could only sit behind Besley, and besides his wife and daughter, the person sitting with Besley was Tian Jiachuan, the ambassador of China, and Li Maocai and Guo Yongwen were behind Tian Jiachuan.

"Mr. Li, I have to congratulate you! I heard that "The Ninth District" has already surpassed 50 billion at the domestic box office. "The Ninth District" has become a new milestone for domestic sci-fi movies!"

"Thank you Ambassador Tian. This is inseparable from the hard work of all the crew of "The Ninth District". Of course, the most important thing is our President Chen. Without the script written by him, we would not have achieved this achievement."

Li Maocai spoke very modestly, and he cleverly put the credit on Chen Tianhong.

"Hongwen is an excellent young man, I really want to meet him if I have the opportunity!"

Speaking of Chen Tianhong, Tian Jiachuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Ever since Besley became obsessed with "The Three-Body Problem", even the diplomatic work with the Tian family biography has become easier.

"Hehe, Mr. Ambassador, I also want to meet him, and ask him when the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem" will be finished. I have been waiting for a long time."

Besley joined the chat with a smile.

"Mr. President, I heard from Mr. Chen before I came here that I will start writing in the near future, and it is expected to be written by the end of the holiday."

Li Maocai shared the news he got with Besley, and his actions drew him into the distance.

"Oh, that's right, it's good news, so I'll wait and see. Hehe, Mr. Li, why don't you tell me about the plot of "The Ninth District"?"

Besley was very happy when he got the confirmed news, and his interest in "District [-]" became stronger.

"Dad, I don't want to listen to spoilers, spoilers are not good!"

Besley's daughter pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, okay, no spoilers, no spoilers."

Besley dotes on his daughter very much and is a proper daughter slave.

This time he came to the premiere, apart from being curious, he also wanted to be with his family.

In fact, it didn't take too long, the premiere began immediately, and then the vicissitudes of life male monologue sounded, leading everyone present into the deep starry sky.
Because Chen Tianhong was planning to screen it abroad when he was writing the script, he made the international version separately during the post-dubbing. In the monologue of the international version, there is also an extra sentence.

"Humanity may have discovered extraterrestrial life, but it was deliberately hidden."

Then the huge Chinese and English words of "The Ninth District" were enlarged on the screen, and then the feature film began.

This extra monologue caused whispers at the scene, and many people subconsciously looked at Besley's position.

Everyone is not stupid, who can't play digital games!

But this sentence makes sense!

The mysterious Area 81 in our country is likely to hide the secrets of aliens, but the "hateful" government has never admitted it positively.

Besley felt suspicious looks from people around him, including his family members.

"Hehe, it seems that he is really alluding to Area 81! He is alluding to the government. I am currently in power. Could it be that he is also implicating me?"

At this moment, Besley murmured in his heart, and was soon attracted by the video on the screen.

The 2 hours passed quickly, and the movie screening was over before many people had finished their popcorn and drinks.

As in China, none of the people present left the venue, and they began to exchange views on the content of the film and its ideological connotation.

"Dad, why do humans treat shrimp people like that? Why are businessmen and politicians so bad? Will Kaqi come back in three years?"

Besley's daughter opened the three questions of the soul. She was born relatively late and is only in junior high school now. She often speaks a little childishly.

"Nisa, the way humans treat shrimp people in the film is definitely wrong. Businessmen and politicians are not all bad. Human nature is complicated. When you grow up, you will understand this problem."

Besley explained that he didn't want to extend this topic, and the current occasion was not suitable for preaching with his daughter.

In fact, as a politician and the president of a big country, the dark side he has seen is far more cruel than the insinuations in the film.

"As for the third question, I don't know the answer, Mr. Li, you should know?"

"Mr. President, please forgive me. Mr. Chen has not written the script for the second part. I really don't know."

Li Mao would give an affirmative answer if it was someone else, but the opposite is the president!Then we can only tell the truth.

"That's it! Nisha, when I go back, send an email to ask Mr. Hongwen."

Besley touched his daughter's head, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw Williams still staring at the big screen in a daze.

"Hehe, Mr. Williams, why don't you say a word, what do you think of this "Ninth District"? Williams?"

After shouting twice in a row, Williams finally came to his senses. When he heard the president's question, he had a complicated look on his face.

"Mr. President, this is a forward-thinking movie, a parable about life, it made the annual awards ceremony not long ago a joke, it puts the whole Bollywood to shame!"
