With such a low screening rate, a premiere with zero guests in Screening Hall 14, and a time when humans have yet to break out of Earth and enter outer space, based on the criticism and popularity we're receiving now, we're definitely going to become a laughingstock and a disgrace to outer space!
Lu Xiaoliang clicked on another piece of news. To be precise, it was yesterday's old news.
The title was "A premiere without guests. I heard that they still want to fight for the Oscars? An oriental joke from an ancient civilization with five thousand years of history. "
The guy who wrote this news was quite vicious and sinister. Unlike others who attacked Chen Guang's acting skills from all aspects, he found a very tricky angle to ridicule and satirize the premiere of "Women."
This article catered to many people's tastes. Since it was published on the Internet, it received a high number of clicks, reposts, and replies.
Even some local TV stations specially used this article to talk about it, making this guy earn a lot of royalties in one day.
Although this guy called Lebron Antonio was unknown, and he was purely trying to ride on the hot news, he did have some channels to find out a lot of inside information, and he caught hold of Chen Guang and the Tianguang Group's weakness.
Lu Fang and Lu Xiaoliang sighed. It was already embarrassing enough, and now people were writing about it and ridiculing it. What a scam!
They should have brought a team from China, at least Qiandu's Boss Li or the two Ma's, and then let Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage bring in some industry stars, such as Brother Long or Master Xing. They were considered heavyweights in the world, and they could handle the scene.
But it was too late. What should they do now?
Find someone by force?
The boss of some small company under Tang Xiaokai that had a market value of tens of millions?
The American soldier who made a living in China?
Ci Shiping, who had some fate with China and was working as a water cooler manager for the Los Angeles Lakers?
Or Marbury, who refused to retire from the Yanjing Basketball Team?
Stop messing around. Who knew them?
Today's movie will be released on the same day, and the cast members are A-list superstars such as Cameron, Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Lil Lee, Blessedcurls, Moldy, Tremblingwoods, Hermione, Eminem, and so on. We might as well not bring this lineup!
You might be shameless, but others were. In this situation, even if you offered money, you wouldn't be able to invite them.
Most importantly, the premiere is only seven hours away, and we can't even afford such a shabby lineup!
So bitter!
In the next room, Chen Guang was not as calm as he appeared. He was so angry that he wanted to chop someone up.
But what could he do?
Kidnap him?
Was he really going to spend money to hire a fake army?
The media wasn't stupid. Now that he was full of flaws, it would only be more embarrassing if they found someone to expose him.
F * ck, how much have you wronged me today? When the Old Man writes his monograph, when the Old Man becomes the Best Actor, how ashamed will you be?!
I want all of you to feel ashamed of yourselves!
However, he was also a little worried. Did he go too far?
If he really couldn't force people into the cinema even with a knife, it would be like what Tang Xiaokai said about a three-day cinema tour. He would be in big trouble.
Sigh, forget it. I don't want to think about this. I have to have confidence in myself.
At most, I'll go to the forum and play the patriotic card. First, I'll trick the Chinese into joining, then I'll get my fellow countrymen to help me with MLM!
He was really quick-witted, coming up with an idea in a flash.
Forget it, I'll just continue writing my novel.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. No matter how painful Fang Tianyu and Lu Xiaoliang were, they still had to leave six hours earlier.
Although the Tianguang Group team in Los Angeles had more than 60 people, the two idiots were still the ones in charge. They wouldn't feel at ease if they didn't see some key points with their own eyes.
After leaving, the two of them went their separate ways. Lu Xiaoliang went to the Hollywood Huaxia Theater, while Fang Tianyu went to the Tianguang Group's temporary office in Los Angeles. It was an office building that Tang Xiaokai had just rented yesterday. It was about a ten-minute walk from the Flemington Hotel.
At this time, the office building was filled with dozens of people. People came and went, and it was very busy.
There were only people in the office, and the desks were empty. The employees of the Tianguang Group really didn't have time to prepare desktop computers. Fortunately, most of the elites who came here had brought their own laptops.
If they didn't, the boss was rich!
The laptops were a little short and small, so the desk looked empty, but it didn't affect their work efficiency.
"Get in touch with Youtube and follow up on their public opinion data. If they need information to support it, get the headquarters to organize the documents and send them over immediately. All the information must be categorized, and the items must be clear! "
"D * mn, this is obviously Dog Three's job, but I'm the one doing it."
"Xiao Zhang! Call Valiant Company. The top right corner of the billboard in Times Square has been flashing non-stop. It's blinding! "
"Xiao Zheng, have you contacted the publisher and the printing company? The boss will bring out the book the day after tomorrow. We want to create a global publishing miracle! The boss will publish the book in the morning, and we will send the fragrant book to every newsstand in the US in the afternoon! Before dawn in China, we want all the Xinhua bookstores to be filled with the boss's books! We want Amazon, Jingxi, Taobao, and all the big Internet celebrities on Weibo to sell the boss's books! Remember, the price in China is 39.9 USD, and the same in Europe and the US! Not one cent more, not one cent less! "
Xiao Zheng: "Manager Fang, we will lose money this way!"
Fang Tianyu: "If we lose money, so be it! The boss said that the main goal of the first printing is to maximize sales. As long as the losses are within the company's bearable range, there won't be a problem! If we make money, he will only ask me for it! "
Xiao Zheng: "What about proofreading and refinement? Will the boss just print it after he writes it? "
Fang Tianyu grunted. "You're finished. You're questioning the ability of the world's number one language master. Will the boss make a typo? Impossible! Even if he's wrong, he's still right! Have you heard of Lu Xun's story? Do you want me to tell you about it? "
"Xiao Hu, immediately contact all the major cinema chains that have decided not to go back on their word. I just talked to President Tang's distribution company. We will continue to reduce the film's commission by 10% and give the cinema chains 80% of the box office commission! Damn, I don't believe they won't be tempted! Every cinema will subsidize 5,000 USD for publicity and let them make their own posters! The screening rate is 0.67%. F * ck! Tell them that for every additional screening, our distribution company will reward them with 1,000 USD! "
"Xiao Zhou, contact the ticketing company and ask for special tickets! Group tickets! Discounted tickets! The average ticket price in the US cannot exceed 4.50 USD! Give out popcorn as soon as you enter! Three days later, there will be a big gift pack. 39.9 USD for the big gift pack. The movie tickets and the boss's book will be bundled together! Wait, the big gift pack will only cost 29.9 USD! "
Chen Guang had gone crazy. Fang Tianyu had also gone crazy. He was dead set on the financial budget given by Su Li. He was going to spend every cent of the Tianguang Group's money, and he was going to spend it wisely.
After the initial publicity, the focus of the work had shifted to increasing the screening rate and attendance rate as the top priority!
As for how to change the reputation of the movie and the boss's image after he got them in?
This was beyond the scope of his ability. It was not something he could manage.
Whether a work was good or not, the Internet Water Army and public opinion could play a role. But in the end, the boss had to be as awesome as he said.
But as the boss had said, it was not a problem that he needed to worry about or consider. As the boss's right-hand man, he only needed to carry out the boss's will!
Anyway, he would do his best and leave it to fate. Bundling the boss's book with the movie tickets was a genius idea that Fang Tianyu had suddenly come up with.
Oh, one more question. What about the premiere?
Thinking of this, poor Old Fang sighed again. Buttface should be about to explode.
He had also tried his best. He had even inquired about the interpersonal relationships that he had built up after working in the United States for so many years. But he could not get anyone to come.
I tried my best, but I couldn't do it!
Forget it. Anyway, the boss has already given up. We are not Superman. We can't do anything about it.
Fang Tianyu's guess was right. At this time, Lu Xiaoliang was standing in the huge square outside the Huaxia Theater in Hollywood. He had a feeling that the wind was howling and the water was cold.
"Manager Fang, the venue I arranged for you is not bad, right? But aren't your posters and banners a little too shabby? You can't even fill one-third of the venue. This empty space reminds me of the layout of your cities when I traveled to Huaxia 20 years ago. Also, what is this narrow red carpet? Is it a footcloth? "
Donard Joshtan, who was supposed to be extremely busy today, ran over to Lu Xiaoliang's side and teased him with great interest.
As the manager of the Huaxia Theater for many years, he would not make himself work so hard.
Although the Huaxia Theater had to hold the premiere of at least eight movies at the same time, Donald did not need to worry about everything. The theater company had a complete staff structure, and there were people who could help him.
As the general manager, Donald only needed to deal with some core affairs, such as wrangling with Tang Xiaokai in the office. Of course, that also included him running over to Lu Xiaoliang's side to add insult to injury.
Although work was important, maintaining a happy mood was more important. The premiere of Women is also part of the Huaxia Theater's business. Now that I'm here, I can show my professionalism!
Lu Xiaoliang's face was livid. "Mr. Joshtan, this is not what we agreed on. The venue is a little too big. Also, Mr. Joshtan, my surname is Lu. I am not Manager Fang. "
Donald's expression did not change. "Oh, I'm sorry. In my eyes, you Huaxia people all look a little similar. Also, doesn't your company like a bigger venue? Since your company's boss, Chen Guang, wants to win an Oscar, you can't just want a small corner, right? People will think that you are a troupe from China. I heard from a friend that there is a Chinese idiom to describe this kind of people. It's called … Grassroots Troupe, right? "
One had to admit that Donald's Chinese pronunciation was very good, and his pronunciation was very accurate.
Obviously, he had expected Chen Guang's people to question him, so he had practiced his lines on purpose. He had prepared his lines in advance to add insult to injury.
Lu Xiaoliang was about to explode. Damn it!
If it wasn't for the fact that you have a high status in the North American film industry, I would have slapped your face.
Damn it, you are the grassroots troupe. Your whole family is a grassroots troupe!
