China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 509: Scared to death

After being teased, Wei Lianlian reacted, cleared his throat, and then rolled his eyes.

"So we just... do nothing?"

It always feels a bit unreliable.

Lin Gao shook his head and supported his chin with his hands folded.

"Just guide the direction of public opinion. There is no need to do more. The quality of this movie is here and it will prove everything."

Wei Lianlian remained silent and nodded "yeah".

"Then I'll arrange for someone to contact him."

……

After all, Lin Gao also owns his own company.

Therefore, asking the public relations departments to hire some internet trolls to guide public opinion is just a simple matter that can be done easily.

I didn't specifically notify or tell Stephen Chow.

The Internet is flooded with praise for "Kung Fu".

From the director to the actors, it can be said that everyone was praised.

The posts and Weibo posts by professional film critics are still very appealing.

The articles written are ornate.

Regardless of other things, from a sensory point of view, you can see at a glance that it is beautiful.

"A cross-era top-notch production, the pinnacle of comedy, Kung Fu is not just a comedy, but also a Hollywood-style filming method, shot-by-shot transitions, and even the soundtrack is comparable to Hollywood! I have to share a little secret: the delay of Kung Fu is due to a problem with the original soundtrack, which needs to be completely replaced from the beginning. The subsequent new version of the soundtrack was specially composed by the professional music production team responsible for Titanic, and the symphony orchestra of the Shanghai Grand Theater recorded the sound overnight! So, a good work can be seen in every detail!"

"If you keep thinking about it, it will definitely resonate with you. Kung Fu is a masterpiece that is worth watching over and over again. Every time I rewatch it, I can experience something new and gain new insights. There are so many metaphors in a comedy. I can only say that Stephen Chow is really amazing. He wrote this script so well."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a good work. The control of the audience's emotions is also very good. Although the jokes are dense, they are not dry. The foreshadowing is also very good. After laughing and thinking about it again, there is still a trace of dull pain in my heart."

"This is a self-evident work by Master Xing. Who else can criticize Master Xing's status as the King of Comedy?"

"We are all family, so I will say it directly. There are too many people praising Stephen Chow, so I decided to open up a new track and praise our leading actor, Lin Gao! Kung Fu is Lin Gao's first comedy movie. Before this, some people doubted and questioned Lin Gao, thinking that Lin Gao was arrogant and looked down on mainland comedians and directors. What about now? What do you think? Are you convinced? If you ask me, Lin Gao's vision is really sharp. Not only is he good at choosing scripts, he also sees the strength of Stephen Chow, and he is handsome and strong. Damn, what a perfect man!"

"..."

On the third day, the screening rate increased by twenty percentage points.

So the box office on that day once again set a new record, reaching 3.61 million!

Once again, a group of people were scared to death!

The movies released in the same period were also suppressed and could not even raise their heads, let alone try to share the box office of "Kung Fu".

But it may also be because Lin Gao and Stephen Chow brought the entire creative team to randomly land in a movie theater in Shanghai within a week to distribute group autographed photos.

Therefore, the box office of these seven days is getting better and better.

On the eighth day, the first week box office is released.

Just 0.3 away from reaching 20 billion.

This data confirms what Lin Gao said to Wei Lianlian in the office a week ago.

A good movie will never be forgotten.

Time will tell.

The box office will prove it. What?
Do you want to ask what Lin Gao is doing now?
Oh.

Lin Gao is with Stephen Chow at this moment.

Taking into account Lin Gao's influence abroad, and because Stephen Chow's base is not in Shanghai but in Hong Kong, it is not feasible to receive "foreign friends" in a temporary studio.

Also because Lin Gao is also an investor in "Kung Fu".

All the remuneration was put into the crew.

So, after thinking about it, Stephen Chow brought his people to Lin Gao's door without any burden or worry.

cough cough.

When he was “visited”, Lin Gao was also startled.

It was quite unexpected.

However, Stephen Chow also found time to pull Lin Gao over to explain.

It wasn't because of anything else, the main reason was that the foreigner came in a hurry and he didn't have time to receive him, so he notified Lin Gao at the same time.

Lin Gao expressed his understanding.

With a serious expression, he immediately invited everyone to the conference room and asked Wei Lianlian to make some coffee and bring it over.

"This screening rate is a bit low." Lin Gao's expression was serious. After looking at Stephen Chow, the two found the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Lin Gao narrowed his eyes, sorted out the negotiation language skills in his mind, and then began to persuade sincerely.

"I believe that you, Mr. Robert, and AMC behind you also saw the excellence of this movie, so we are sitting here together today. If it wasn't excellent enough, I'm sure you and the people behind you wouldn't have made this decision, right?"

"How about adding another five percentage points to bring the screening rate to 20%?"

Lin Gao tried step by step, hoping to gain more benefits for the movie he invested in.

The company behind Mr. Robert is one of the top five media companies in the United States, with cinema chains spread across the country. In recent years, it has even shown a tendency to take the top spot in the cinema chain.

The reason why Lin Gao was able to sit in this position and discuss this matter with Mr. Robert was vaguely because he was the dominant figure. One of the reasons was that Lin Gao was the major shareholder of this film.

Secondly, due to the huge success of two movies, the Chinese name and face Lin Gao became famous in various Western countries. He is the one who will make a big splash if he succeeds.

The directors behind the two films shot are both famous Hollywood directors.

Cameron is the best in the world.

Having caught the boat of these two big fish, Lin Gao's net worth also rose.

This time, Mr. Robert flew all the way from Eagle to China to purchase the overseas theater agency rights of "Kung Fu" because he took Lin Gao into consideration.

Lin Gao's 20% directly scared Robert.

His beard twitched twice, and his wrist shook so much that he almost spilled coffee on his trouser legs. After calming himself down, he put the cup on the table and then quickly waved his hands.

"No, no, no! This won't work!"

He added a series of "No" before his words, which shows how dissatisfied Mr. Robert is with the screening rate.

Even his expression could be described as terrified.

"Please forgive my impoliteness, I cannot accept this number. The best we can offer is 15%. To be honest, this rate is the result of our negotiation and we have raised it by three percentage points."
