Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 387 An episode before the release

Although I don't understand what Lin Daoqiu said about negative review marketing, but the matter has come to this point and he reiterated several times that he was not joking, so Langmeyer had to do what the other party said, and let the publicity department immediately follow what Lin Daoqiu said Request to execute.

"Negative review marketing is actually to make people curious about this movie, making them feel that since this movie is so bad, they will have an urge to go in and see how bad it is."

After Lin Daoqiu explained it this way, Langmeyer realized that there was so much knowledge in it. If Lin Daoqiu didn't say it, he would have thought the other party was crazy.

But even so Lin Daoqiu is not very confident in his heart. After all, the final comparison is not bad, but I hope that after the audience enters the theater and comes out after watching the movie, they will realize that this movie is not a super bad movie. film, but a very funny and heartwarming movie.

In the following time, because Universal Pictures added fuel to the fire, the topic of "Home Alone" was once again heated up. Even people who don't watch movies very much know that there is a super bad movie. coming soon.

Originally, the negative review marketing plan was implemented smoothly, but because it went a little too far, a small accident happened during this period.

After hearing the rumors outside, Anna, the mother of Dove Lai, the star of "Home Alone", worried that the film would affect her son's future stardom, so she quickly contacted Lin Daoqiu, intending to terminate the contract with him.

Even if it is possible, Anna even hopes that this movie is best not to be released, otherwise his son's image will be destroyed by then.

On this day, Anna invited Lin Daoqiu out. As soon as Lin Daoqiu sat down, he found that Anna seemed very angry, which made him feel a little baffled.

"Mr. Lin, I am very grateful to you for giving Devery this opportunity to play the leading role, but I think that if this drama is released, it will affect Devere's future acting career, so I want to share with you terminate the contract."

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that Anna asked him out to talk about this matter, but after the other party finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just looked at Anna and smiled without saying a word. He didn't expect that before others jumped out, she came out first I'm looking for trouble.

"Are you here today to terminate the contract with me?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Anna nodded, looking very determined. She must find a way to terminate the contract with Lin Daoqiu today, and she will spread the news by then. I believe that after doing so, this matter will not be resolved. Will affect the future of De Fulai.

But when Anna finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just looked at the impatient expression on the other party's face. He felt that Anna was a bit too whimsical.

You must know that it was stipulated in the original contract that if the other party were to forcibly terminate the contract without fault, they would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that Anna could get so much money at once, so he directly extended his hand to the other party.

"Since you want to terminate the contract, I believe you have prepared the money."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to see how strong Anna's belief in wanting to terminate the contract was.

"Money? What money?"

Anna looked at Lin Daoqiu in a daze, she didn't understand what the other party meant by money.

"Liquidated damages, didn't you read the contract when you signed it? If you want to forcibly terminate the contract, you will have to pay half of the production cost, totaling 250 million US dollars."

And when Anna heard that the contract would be terminated with a compensation of 250 million US dollars, she completely stayed where she was, with a shocked expression on her face.

When she signed the contract before, she didn't read the terms carefully at all. She only cared about the salary and didn't pay much attention to the more detailed contract terms.

Now hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Anna immediately showed an unnatural expression on her face, and she knew that she hadn't read those clauses carefully and came to Lin Daoqiu to terminate the contract in a hurry.

"What's the matter? Since you're coming to terminate the contract, take out the money, or else don't waste my time here, I'm very busy."

Lin Daoqiu was very dissatisfied with Anna's action of suddenly coming to ask him to terminate the contract. Now that the movie has not been released, she is in a hurry to come over and make trouble. Does she think that she is Chinese and easy to bully?

If it was another big Hollywood director or screenwriter, I'm afraid Anna would hold back even if she had such thoughts, and would not dare to trouble him at this time.

"me……"

It is impossible for Anna to have that much money. She was just an ordinary office worker before, and her family's savings, including the house, was less than 20 US dollars.

Now Lin Daoqiu has 250 million yuan per mouth, even if she sells her whole family, she can only get one-tenth of it at most, and Anna never thought of paying a dime to the other party when she terminated the contract.

"This contract is unreasonable, I object, I want to find a lawyer, and I want to sue you."

Anna was so anxious that she began to panic, but it never occurred to her that if she wanted to sue Lin Daoqiu, she would at least find out where the other party was at fault.

But the problem is that Lin Daoqiu is not at fault at all, the pay has been settled in time, and there are no accidents during the filming, if she can sue and win, it will be hell.

"Then go ahead, but I can tell you first that the distribution company of "Home Alone" is Universal Pictures, so from now on, it will be very difficult for your son to develop in Hollywood in the future."

Lin Daoqiu was actually just trying to scare Anna. After all, it is impossible for Universal Pictures to take the initiative to block a child. If they really do this, they will only be laughed at by other companies.

It wouldn't work if it was Lin Daoqiu who did this, because judging from his current popularity, the other seven companies would never buy him.

But Anna didn't know this, she didn't know anything about the situation in Hollywood, she was just a woman who wanted to push her son to the star throne.

"Mr. Lin, I...I..."

What Anna is most worried about is the future of De Fulai. If she really blocked her son's way because of this matter, then she will definitely regret her move to find Lin Daoqiu today.

"Miss Anna, I don't have time to drink coffee with you here. If you have money, you can use it to terminate the contract. If you don't, just shut up. I'm sorry."

If Lin Daoqiu had known that Anna asked him out to talk about these meaningless things with him, he would never have attended the appointment.

Watching Lin Daoqiu leave the coffee shop, apart from anxiety, there was no other expression on Anna's face.
