Chapter 1129 shocked the United States

Harvey himself is quite optimistic about this movie, but he is really optimistic about it is not the artistic value of the movie or the simple commercial value of the movie, but the value of in-depth operation.

Harvey is like an extremely excellent plastic surgeon. He can see through the facial features of a movie at a glance and find the best plastic surgery plan. Such changes seem small, but they can play the finishing touch and make the film stand out.

For "Hero", he had already had a complete operating plan. The most important thing about this plan is how to incorporate Quentin's name into this movie and then use Quentin's reputation to attract the box office of North American audiences.

Because Harvey knew very well that North American audiences did not understand Chinese martial arts culture, they just watched the excitement, visual effects, and exotic style.

From the visual effect level, "Hero" is no longer a problem, and what is missing now is a little gimmick to fool the audience.

It is precisely because the audience cannot understand such a movie that it is best to be fooled. If you put the name of director Zhang Da and invest 30 million US dollars in North America to promote it, you may not be able to get a box office of 30 million US dollars. However, if you put the name of Quentin, even if you only put the promotion of 300,000 US dollars, you can get a box office of at least 30 million US dollars. This is Quentin's appeal.

Moreover, Quentin himself is a very obvious director. Even if his audience doesn't understand his video after watching it, they will definitely promote how Quentin's style and awesome the movie is. No one wants to admit that they can't understand Quentin, but they are proud of being able to understand Quentin.

Harvey is Quentin's mentor, and he is absolutely sure that Quentin can work with him, so as long as he gets this film and adds Quentin's name, the movie can make a lot of money in North America. And the most important thing is that the Chinese themselves have no confidence in the North American box office of this movie, which means that he has a great chance of buying out the movie at a low price, and then getting a hot topic in North America and making a lot of money.

This was indeed the case in his previous life. Harvey used the shell of Miramax Pictures to buy out the North American distribution rights of "Hero". The so-called buyout means that after buying at a price, the things belong to others. The more you make, the more you earn, it has nothing to do with the original copyright owner.

If Harvey pays one million dollars to buy out the North American box office of "Hero", then even if Harvey uses this movie to earn tens of millions of dollars in North America, it has nothing to do with director Zhang Da and the producer. Apart from the one million dollars to buy out fee, the only thing they can gain is reputation, which is the capital to increase their value and brag.

However, although the box office of "Hero" packaged in this way sets a box office record in the history of Chinese films overseas, in fact, for North American users, most of them are paying for Quentin. Maybe they don't know who director Zhang Da is at the end.

Originally, the producer of "Hero" hoped to confirm cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible, so as not to stop Li Mu from catching on to "Hero" in the future, his overseas development route would be cut off. Therefore, if the copyright was sold to Harvey as soon as possible, he could get rid of the risk of being surrounded by Li Mu.

Harvey himself was also planning to determine the copyright agreement with the producer of "Hero" as soon as possible, but when he learned that "Hero" had a very bleak box office in China, he immediately played a trick of going back on his word and decided to use the box office failure as an excuse to further reduce the copyright buyout fee that had been agreed upon, which made the producer of "Hero" particularly annoyed.

However, Director Zhang Da suggested that the producers should not worry about money for the time being and establish cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible. Because Harvey has a great influence in Hollywood, if this movie wants to win the best foreign language film at the Oscar, it is inseparable from Harvey's lobbying. If he does not determine his cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible, if Li Mu takes the initiative, he might even think that something will happen.

The producer and capitalist also realized Li Mu's potential threat. After several discussions, they decided to agree to Harvey's request and packaged the North American distribution rights of "Hero" to Harvey at 40% of the originally agreed price.

The loss of 60% of the buyout income made the entire producer of "Heroes" particularly depressed, but there was no way. I could only pray that Harvey could hype the influence of this movie in North America, so that although everyone did not make money, they also gained some reputation.

For Harvey, who is far away in Hollywood, this news is amazing. His favorite thing is to use this conspiracy trick to get other people's copyrights at a low price, and then make the most profit through his own operations.

For people like Harvey, strength is completely inconsistent with character. Director Feng Da once publicly scolded Harvey, saying that his usual trick in China was to first lure domestic filmmakers with high prices, such as buying out North American copyright for 8 million. This price would scare away all other intentional competitors. Then Harvey paid a small deposit to reassure Chinese filmmakers. But after the movie was finished, he immediately repented and said that the movie would not be needed. He would rather give up the deposit than buy the copyright at the agreed price. However, it would be too late to find a new seller at this time. In the end, he could only be bought by Harvey at an extremely low price. The earliest quotation of 8 million may be only one million.

The excited Harvey immediately sent a representative to China to sign a final buyout agreement with the production company of "Heroes", but he never dreamed that just when his signing representative was sitting on a plane to China, yy users across the United States received a pop-up of news.

The information entered in this pop-up news point is extremely large, including the entire process of the Muying ticketing system from its birth to its development, and then to being strangled by dozens of film and television companies. It not only contains many articles, reports, but also a large number of pictures and demonstration videos.

In this push, Harvey, who had a very keen sense of smell, had no time to see the whole story clearly, and immediately realized the magic of the Muying ticketing system, and immediately shone his eyes at this extremely awesome product!

Even though he has the ability to turn the world in Hollywood, Harvey still admires the Muying ticketing system. The more awesome a person is, the more he knows respect. He has not been so shocked for a long time. So when he saw this push, his first idea was to bring this system to North America!

With Harvey's deep understanding of the film and television industry, he knew very well that once this system can be popularized in North America, it will definitely bring huge changes and improvements to the entire North American box office. By then, the entire Hollywood will benefit from it. In Harvey's view, this system is also very easy to transplant to the United States. As long as Alipay is replaced with paypal, this system can be fully popularized in North America!

Harvey was excited to send a text message to his subordinates who sent to China, asking him to find a way to contact Makino Yingxiang after he landed. He wanted to buy the North American use rights of this system. Once he got the system, coupled with his influence in Hollywood and the entire North American film and television industry, he would be able to quickly popularize it in the entire North America. The benefits are so great that even Harvey himself dared not imagine.

However, just after Harvey sent the text message, he continued to read the content of the push and was surprised to find that this system was actually boycotted by film and television companies in China. Looking down, Harvey's eyes were almost falling out!

During this global synchronous push, Li Mu published all the list of companies that secretly strangled the Muying ticketing system, including many evidences of their stabbing in the back, such as the records of the transfer and remittance of the domestic naval army team by "Hero", the records of emails from "Hero" and other business owners, and even the photos they were secretly taken while having a dinner at a restaurant, as well as the recordings of secretly recorded.

In short, the sufficient chain of evidence released by Li Mu this time will definitely make these dozens of film and television companies rack their brains and cannot get rid of it!

When Harvey discovered that there was a company that produced "Heroes" and even played an important role in it, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!

First of all, Harvey had no doubt about Li Mu's influence. He knew how powerful Li Mu had in the world and appeal, but he didn't expect that Li Mu's counterattack was so ruthless, and he directly used all his resources to counterattack his opponent;

Secondly, he did not expect that the company he was going to cooperate with was actually Li Mu's biggest enemy to openly counterattack;

Again, if you continue to cooperate with this company, you will inevitably offend Li Mu. At that time, the possibility of buying the Mu Film ticketing system from Li Mu is almost zero. The most important thing is that if Li Mu also regards himself as an enemy, he will not be able to withstand his attack at all. Although he is awesome in the film and television industry, compared with Li Mu, the gap in strength is too great and is not in the same dimension at all.

The cunning Harvey almost immediately made a decision and counterattacked Li Mu against the production company of "Hero". He said he could not take any of the North American copyright of "Hero". Even if the movie had a lot of profit margin, he had to give up, because this thing was to attract hatred. Whoever held it in his hands would offend Li Mu. Harvey himself would continue to hang out in the film and television industry. He could not offend a super big guy like Li Mu for the profit of a movie.

After making this decision, Harvey immediately sent another text message to his subordinates whom he sent to China: Give up the copyright of "Heroes" and stop talking to them anymore. You will only have one task in the next few days. Try to contact the senior management of Makino Yingxiang!
