Chapter 471 Destructive (Earth)
The news that "The Battle of Jinling" was reviewed was also mixed with another piece of content that a certain director was removed from the review team. However, one of the two pieces of news was posted in the social news or entertainment news section, and the other was just an online announcement. , and it didn’t attract much attention.

Scheduled for June 6th.

Releases February 7.

There is only one month left, and the time is very tight. Various propaganda machines are running at full capacity, and large budgets are invested in various media. Suddenly, all news in the mainland is blooming, and news about "Blood Battle in Jinling" is everywhere.

Fans were excited about it, and all kinds of "tap water" energetically started to spread the news in various media. Even passers-by couldn't help but be concerned. After all, everyone had previously judged that "The Battle of Jinling" could not be launched on the mainland.

Given the sensitivity of the subject matter, the previous trailer was so "non-mainstream", how could a few foreigners fight the enemy heroically in Jinling, how could it still pass the trial?This also aroused a lot of curiosity.

Naturally, the domestic release will be confirmed at the same time as the overseas release. As a rising star in Hollywood, it is not a problem for Netflix to secure global theaters. According to the original habit of the Truman movie, it is also preparing to have a global simultaneous release, and the premiere ceremony is naturally indispensable. Fei has a good relationship with major directors and stars, and is planning to hold an "Oscar-level premiere ceremony" for Truman.

Half a month before the premiere, Truman, Dwayne Johnson, Cage and Matt Bomer began to appear frequently in Europe, America and mainland China for film and television promotions.

When promoting in the Mainland, traffic niches that were difficult to hire in the past will cooperate, which makes every promotion very powerful and makes the promoters think a lot, because "fighting for position" is a fatal problem in the film industry. happens sometimes.

Since among the four protagonists, only Truman is promoted in China, the young artists, although they are all supporting roles, will have a fight from time to time to see who is second only to Truman, and all kinds of weird news releases are even more It was an eye-opener for the audience. It turns out that the feud between XX and XXX has reached the point of breaking up on the spot...

As far as publicity is concerned, all publicity is good publicity, no matter whether it is good or bad. It is expected that until "The Battle of Jinling" is released, the publicity of this movie will be sufficient at least in mainland China, and it will be seen on hot searches every day.

Everything is going on in full swing, looking at this movie like flowers blooming, rushing all the way in the direction of great sales, and the time has come all the way to July 7th.

A movie called "The King" is quietly circulating in the DVD market in North America and Europe.

……

Rewind time half a month ago.

Lu Linlang handed a hard drive to Little in front of him.

Submissions for review in Mainland China require that the film be copied to a hard drive in a specified format in accordance with the requirements. During the screening period, a dedicated person will operate the screening. Officials participating in the review are not allowed to use mobile phones, cameras, camcorders and other electronic devices during the review process to ensure the absolute confidentiality of the film under review. .

There will be no problems with the review, but there will be problems with the review process. Because of Netflix's trust in The Truman Studio, although it has its own confidentiality regulations, when it needs to deal with mainland officials, it will still temporarily hand over the backup to Feng Zikai , and when Lu Linlang asked Feng Zikai for a COPY, Feng Zikai was naturally unsuspecting.

Little wanted to take the hard drive.

"What about what you promised me?" Lu Linlang withdrew her hand again.

"How can you prove that the movie on the hard drive is a true copy of that movie?" Little asked rhetorically.

"The video files in the hard drive are marked. The last modification time and place was 15 days ago at the Netflix Film and Television Production Center in Los Angeles. The last playback time was XX movie 2 days ago. These are enough to prove that it is the movie worth 5 billion-dollar movie," Lu Linlang said. "Very good." Little said, "3 million yuan will be remitted to your overseas account after we confirm it. This money is enough to get you out of trouble."

"If this is all, then there is no need to continue the transaction." Lu Linlang took back the hard drive.

"If you don't trade with me, you know what the consequences will be." Little didn't panic. He said: "I can find another chance to deal with Truman, but your chance is only this one. Once I send the evidence to the United States and China's tax bureau, you will become...what do you Chinese say, right, a street rat."

"If I give you the hard drive, you can do all of this." Lu Linlang sneered, "The 'rats' who stab people in the back have no credibility to win people's trust."

Both of them used the metaphor of "rat", obviously full of contempt for each other.

"So, you want to know who is behind me." Little, "This is not an equal handle."

"That's right, you can name a main messenger at will, but what I need is the proof of the source of the 3 million yuan of funds." Lu Linlang said, "Money will never appear out of thin air, as long as you trace its source, you can confirm who it is Leading all this behind the scenes.”

"I have to say, Ms. Lu Linlang, you are very smart." Little sighed, "In this case, I need to ask for advice."

10 minute later.

Little handed a document to Lu Linlang and took the hard drive from her hand. Both parties began to verify whether the things in their hands were authentic. After another half an hour, the two parties shook hands.

That's how the whole thing went.

……

a DVD.

There was an uproar.

The DVD market in North America and Europe is also like the film market. It is under strict government control. Contrary to what some people think, film and television supervision outside the mainland is not looser than in China. They are just Blood, violence, pornography and other aspects involving human nature have relaxed restrictions, but when it comes to ideology and copyright patents, the red lines are even worse than those in China.

Under this circumstance, this DVD called "The King" should not have appeared on the market. However, in some European countries, DVD review and film review are two different systems, and the two sides do not overlap. Generally, movies are TV Review first, and then enter the sight of the DVD review committee. Therefore, a pirated disc with genuine content may appear in these countries.

After passing through the unified review channel of the European Union, it then enters the U.S. and Canadian markets in North America and then flows to other countries. In theory, there is such a loophole, but it will take a long time, at least 20 days, so hurry up before " Before the release of "The Battle of Jinling", the simultaneous release of "Jinling" in North America and Europe required a large and rigorous organization.

Although the title of the content on the DVD is "The King", its starring roles are still Truman, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Nicolas Cage and Matt Bomer. Soon, this DVD attracted the attention of all media Attention, some media called it "an unprecedented case of commercial espionage in the film industry, which destroyed a masterpiece worth US$5 million!"
