"I'm convinced. I've never encountered such a shameless thing in my life!" Boss Jia complained to Jon Landau, who was sitting next to him, at the premiere of Mouthbag Monster: Rogia's Explosion.
This time, 21st Century Fox was still one of the distributors of Pokemon, so Jon Landau, who had the best relationship with Boss Jia in the company, naturally attended the premiere as a representative.
Boss Jia had been angry for several days because of this matter, but what Boss Jia didn't expect was that after listening to Boss Jia's complaints, Jon Landau said in disbelief, "This kind of thing shouldn't be possible. How could Koreans do such a shameless thing?"
"Why, Mr. Landau, do you think I would lie about this kind of thing?" Boss Jia was a little unhappy.
"Of course not!" Jon Landau shook his head and said, "I just think that this is a little different from what I know before. In fact, I've represented the company and dealt with some copyright disputes and conflicts with Korea."
"Generally speaking, we don't even need a lawyer's letter. As long as our company sends an official document, Korea will immediately send a letter of apology, and at the same time, correct the mistake and guarantee that similar mistakes will never be made again. Some companies will even take the initiative to compensate. I've never seen such a shameless thing like what Mr. Jia said. I didn't expect these Koreans to have such a shameless side! "Jon Landau said in disbelief.
"Hehe, that's because you're a citizen of the United States. 21st Century Fox is also a United States company. Korea is a dog raised by the United States. Of course, they wouldn't dare to disobey!" Boss Jia curled his lips and casually complained.
But in the next second, Boss Jia's eyes lit up, as if he already had an idea in his mind.
"But Mr. Jia, don't you think that today's premiere is a little quieter compared to the last one?" Jon Landau suddenly said in a meaningful tone.
"Yes!" Boss Jia's face darkened again. This time, the guests who came to participate in Mouthbag Monster: Rogia's Explosion were much fewer than the previous two times.
It was normal that there were fewer people than the premiere of Titanic. After all, Titanic had such fierce publicity in the early stages. It was a certainty that it would get a huge box office. Stars were willing to join in the fun.
As for a sequel movie like "Pokemon", it was generally impossible for the guest lineup to exceed that of "Titanic".
But this time, the number of guests was even less than the number of guests of Pokemon: Super Dream's Counterattack, which was very strange.
One had to know that when "Transcendent's Counterattack" was released, Da Qian was still a complete newbie in the American film industry. All the guests were basically there because of 21st Century Fox. However, even so, there were still about 50 guests of various statuses added up.
But this time, there were less than 20 people of status, and most of them were guests under 21st Century Fox and the Daqian themselves. This was equivalent to almost the entire Hollywood circle directly ignoring the invitation to the premiere of the Daqian film. This was an extremely abnormal thing.
Now, Mouthbag Monster: Rogia's Explosion had a global box office of 700 million US dollars as a guarantee. Even the most pessimistic person estimated that it would have a global box office of 300 to 400 million US dollars. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of Hollywood people who came to the premiere of this movie to make their presence known, and to make a good impression on the Daqian film. How could it suddenly become so quiet?
"You really don't know?" Jon Landau looked at Boss Jia curiously. Boss Jia nodded, and Jon Landau said, "Well, don't tell anyone that I told you. The Oscar committee secretly said that whoever dares to support you will not have anything to do with the Oscars for three years!"
Jon Landau said. "That is to say, an old man like me has nothing to do with the Oscars in this life, so I don't care about this. Otherwise, anyone who is a little disappointed in the Oscars would not dare to approach you!" Jon Landau shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's fine that you're making an animated movie, but I'm afraid that the Harry Potter movie you're planning to make will encounter a lot of trouble recently!"
"The Oscar committee!" Boss Jia froze for a moment, then remembered the scene of him leaving angrily at the Oscar ceremony. He said with some disbelief, "These guys are so vengeful!"
"Come on, you're the first person who dared to leave at the Oscars. Plus, you're not from the United States. Of course, they'll want to punish you!" Jon Landau sighed and said, "If you ask me, you might as well give in. When you're interviewed by the media, express your apology for leaving at the beginning, and then donate a few hundred thousand dollars to the Oscar committee. That's about it. They won't continue to make things difficult for a big boss like you!"
"Do you think that's something I'll do?" Boss Jia rolled his eyes. Jon Landau thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Oscars can't really affect the box office of a commercial blockbuster. As for the premiere, it's just for show. There's no other meaning."
"You can just ignore them and pretend that these guys don't exist!" Jon Landau comforted him. Indeed, the Oscars were useless as long as you didn't take them seriously.
"Then, my Titanic, they won't just ignore me, right?" Boss Jia suddenly thought of something and asked with narrowed eyes.
"I'm not sure!" Jon Landau was stunned for a moment, then said, "Logically speaking, your Titanic is unparalleled in terms of art. I'm afraid it's hard to find another movie that can surpass Titanic in terms of romance. In terms of business, who knows how many years it'll take for someone to break the global box office of 2.4 billion dollars. So, Titanic should sweep all the Oscars! "
"But I don't know how much the people at the Oscars hate you now. That's why I'm advising you to give in. Otherwise, the award in your hands may really be gone!"
"How dare they!" Boss Jia raised his voice and said with a cold expression, "If they dare to defame my Titanic, I'll make the Oscars disappear from this world!"
"Oh, okay, as long as you're happy!" Jon Landau shrugged his shoulders. Obviously, he treated Boss Jia's words as nonsense. How could the Oscars, the top award in the United States, just disappear? Jon Landau was just saying it out of spite.
Following the conversation between the two of them, the premiere ceremony quickly entered the official screening stage. Due to the lack of people who had agreed to attend the premiere ceremony, there were more than 200 loyal fans of "Pokemon" in the cinema this time, besides the celebrities who came to attend the premiere ceremony, there were also more than 200 loyal fans of "Pokemon" who were selected through the lucky draw. They would be watching the movie together with Boss Jia.
Therefore, before the movie started, the entire venue wasn't as quiet as before. Many fans were excitedly watching the movie's creators. Of course, most of them were guessing what the plot of the movie would be like, and what was going on with the sudden appearance of Rogia in the movie's name.
After all, in the entire "Pokemon Gold: Silver", there had never been a Pokemon called Rogia!
