In fact, it is not just the mainstream theaters in the United States, many mainstream theaters in other countries have rejected this movie in their theaters.
"Refused to release? What's the matter? Is there some misunderstanding in the sharing agreement?"
Zhu Yuxing couldn't understand.
There shouldn't be much of a problem with a movie hitting theaters.
It was Tukarev who told Zhu Yuxing about this. It would be night in the United States. He sat in his office in a bad mood and finally couldn't help but called Zhu Yuxing.
During this time his men have been trying to do theatrical distribution.
In the past, this was actually quite smooth, even if he was targeted last time, it did not affect his movie release in the cinema.
This time, however, there were some obstacles.
He continuously asked his subordinates to personally go to multiple chain theaters to negotiate, but the final results were not very good.
Tukarev made a sound of Russian scolding and explained: "It's not about the sharing agreement. They simply refused to talk to us about the sharing. Obviously, someone is behind the instructions.
" Tukarev made a few more classic Russian scoldings.
"Someone instigated? Instructing the entire film industry alliance, this influence is a bit large." Zhu Yuxing said with a tut.
"This should at least be something that the top ten film industry groups can do. They all have their own power in the cinema's guild, and I think there may not be only one film industry group exerting influence. Mr. Zhuyou, I am afraid someone It is targeting me, and it may also be targeting you, I am very sorry for affecting the release of your movie."
Tukarev's previous release of his Xinghai Infinite movie in the United States really angered some of his peers.
Many of them are influential figures in the industry.
Although the end result is that his film is a huge success, becoming one of the models of low cost and high return, many people still dismiss him.
"No, you don't have to say that, we are also friends, we must advance and retreat together."
Zhu Youxing was quite calm after hearing this.
It's quite normal to be targeted, but if a movie targets itself like this, it's a bit of a fuss for these people.
"Isn't there a way to let go?"
Tukarev shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Zhuyou, these people are very insistent this time, and they will not allow this movie to be released at all. Their persistence really makes me Surprisingly, in the past, they were never so difficult to talk about."
Zhu Youxing said after a moment of silence, "Wait and see, I feel that this matter may not be over yet, you contacted me after talking to multiple movie theaters. Is that right?"
"Yes, I called you right after the last negotiation with the last relatively large chain of theaters collapsed."
"Then wait, the movie is not in a hurry anyway, there is still half a year left. What."
Tukarev nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep, Suka..."
Tukarev hung up the phone in a depressed mood.
I have been in the film industry for so many years, and I have never been able to go smoothly, which is really annoying.
On Take Yusei's side, he was supervising the production of Final Fantasy 7 just now.
The main aspect is the rendering of special effects, and it is necessary to strive for perfection as much as possible. The final fantasy 7 Advent Son produced by myself has improved the picture quality more than the original.
The original was released in 2005, using technology from around 2003.
In this world, the overall technology has been advanced for ten years, which is almost equivalent to the level of technology in 2013, so special effects can also be done better.
Unexpectedly, the supervising Kung Fu will receive such a news that is not particularly happy.
As Tukarev said, it should basically be a few well-known film groups exerting influence.
These big film groups may not be able to easily shake their peers at the same level.
But a small film distributor like Tukarev can handle it with ease.
Forcing a movie out of theaters with their hands is one of the easiest ways to do it.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuxing felt that there was no need to continue wasting time on this. Let's wait and see if there is any movement from the United States.
Then he threw himself back into the development of the movie and Monster Hunter, ignoring what happened in the United States.
In fact, it was similar to what Zhu Yuxing had guessed, and things didn't end so easily.
I don't know what's going on, but a group of old guys from Hollywood in the United States took the initiative to stand up this time, and took the initiative to say that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was not professional in some propaganda platforms.
"First of all, I must admit that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has an unshakable position in its own industry. This is really powerful. One company can occupy such a dominant position, and other short-term companies competing with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment should be quite desperate. But I want to say that it is also a good thing for such a company to enter the film and television industry, and it can explore new industries, but what he has done has really touched my red line."
At the premiere of a movie, a very veteran filmmaker directly began to disparage Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in front of the media.
His expression was very disgusting, as if he had a deep hatred with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
The reporters almost put the interview microphone directly into the filmmaker's mouth, trying to find out more interesting news from the filmmaker's mouth: "Then what is your red line?"
"My red line is The director's dignity."
"The director's dignity?"
"That's right." The filmmaker nodded and said, "This man named Zhu Yuxing is an excellent game developer, and many people recognize this identity very much. Many people even gave him the title of God of Games, which is very powerful, but I want to say that this is not the reason for him to be a higher commander than the director. The director's commanding power should be respected. His behavior is Trample on the director's dignity, just this matter, I will absolutely boycott all the films of this Yuxing Electronic Entertainment."
"So that's the case, then besides you, are there many other filmmakers who have the same idea?"
"That is Certainly, now we have joined a number of cinema chains to boycott this kind of behavior, and we must give the director the highest respect, unless Yuxing Electronic Entertainment changes his mind and allows the director to regain the dominant position, otherwise we will not let go.
" A big news, a movie deserves to be boycotted by many well-known filmmakers, which is also a very rare thing.
Of course things are not so simple and simple.
"Is it too obvious? Is there anything more shameless than this? When will the United States return to the absolute responsibility of directors? Why haven't I heard of it?" When Tukarev saw this interview video I couldn't help but curse again.
American movies have gone through many stages of development, and this is an industry with a history of nearly a hundred years.
In the early days, movies were just very simple little pictures, and then gradually derived from the medium of movies.
In this process, the director is gradually born, and then becomes the general director of a film.
This situation changed after a major production that almost affected the entire industry hit the streets. Since then, the United States is no longer a simple director general responsibility system. On top of it, people such as producers are added to supervise the director's behavior. It is necessary to Time to stop the director from wasting too much money.
This kind of thing happened a long time ago, but it seems to have never happened to these filmmakers.
However, Zhu Yuxing's dominant behavior is actually a bit special.
Because Zhu Yuxing not only controlled the budget, but also imposed his own will on the film.
Zhu Yuxing provides the main creative content to the director, and the director is almost equal to the general scheduling, and there is no freedom to play.
But the director himself doesn't mind this kind of thing, and outsiders' accusations are really just dogs taking mice.
If there is no inside story, this is really cheating fools
