"Hi bro——"

Harvey, who had a fat head and big ears, gave Wu Xiaozu a bear hug very enthusiastically. The strong smell of cologne on his body could not hide the smell of scum that was deeply revealed in him.

His ugly face was full of excitement, and he took the initiative to introduce the middle-aged Jewish people next to him and Wu Xiaozu: "This is Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Cinema. This is Wu, the great director of HK."

"Hello, Wu, it's an honor to meet you."

Shay took two quick steps and reached out his hand. He smiled politely and was full of Jewish enthusiasm. When he saw Wu Xiaozu, it was like seeing a bunch of waving "Franklins".

"Me too, I'm very happy to meet Mr. Xie." Wu Xiaozu smiled and shook hands with him.

New Line is well-known in the North American independent film industry. It initially distributed European and local low-cost horror films and was considered a common second-tier dealer in the North American independent film industry. Later, it entered the production industry and made a living by investing in low-cost B-level films.

New Line still attracted attention in the film industry because it purchased the North American copyright of Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and successfully operated and distributed it. In later generations, Long Ge's "Rush Hour" series was produced by them...

This time, "Seven Sins" continues to be popular in North America because of the cooperation of New Line Cinema. Therefore, this is also the reason why the other party treats Wu Xiaozu so enthusiastically.

Compared with other Chinese-American filmmakers, Wu Xiaozu's entry into Hollywood seemed to be much smoother, and he did not really encounter any "difficulties". Unlike Jet Li and others in the past, who had to be shut out, on the contrary -

Ever since he learned that Wu Xiaozu came to the United States to film, Shay was always ready to visit him personally.

This can be regarded as Director Wu’s international success over the years, and the success of "Seven Sins" at the box office in the United States... This proves that his own film style is very suitable for the North American market, and is not like many foreign films.

The director is so acclimatized.

"The number of screens in the United States for "Seven Sins" will remain at 900-1,200. The performance is expected to increase rapidly with the spread of publicity and word-of-mouth." Harvey said with a smile: "Shea and several major theaters in the United States

There is a great friendship between the lines.”

"I will try my best to get them to increase the number of screenings and increase the number of prime screenings. The reputation of this drama is very good. Although it has been released for more than a month, it has been kept in Asian gathering places and kept in a small range. Generally speaking, this drama

The market potential of the movie has not yet been fully unleashed."

Shay smiled and was confident, "According to the estimates made by our marketing department, if this movie can fully unleash its market potential, it will at least reach US$32 million to US$37 million. I am very confident about this. I am very confident about this."

The movie has confidence.”

"How much is the investment in publicity?" Wu Xiaozu smiled and stared directly at the two Jews.

He is well aware of the complications that arise in distribution.

But it's hard for him to get involved in Hollywood for the time being... but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand it at all. Despite what he said, it's still unknown how much money he can really put into his pocket.

"I don't think it will be less than $2 million."

Xie Yi's eyes flickered, and he was quite surprised by Wu Xiaozu's focus. At the same time, he saw that Harvey was not surprised at all, and he immediately understood that the other person was not a novice who didn't understand anything.

He didn't have to blatantly cheat Wu Xiaozu, but if there was an opportunity to make calculations that were beneficial to him within the limits allowed by the rules, why not do it?

This is also the 'instinct' of a second-rate dealer. Of course, he is indeed sincere about money-making trees that can make money. This may also be the instinct of the Jews.

"It seems that this is not a small investment." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, not paying too much attention to this small thought.

There is no way, who makes him an ‘outsider’.

"Shay and I will control the overall investment ratio," Harvey said proactively.

Compared to Shay, Harvey himself is more aware of Wu Xiaozu’s ‘value’.

“How do you want to promote it?”

"This film has a good reputation and has won various film critics awards. We can focus on this. At the same time, I suggest that we increase the Oscar's public relations investment." Shea came up with a plan very familiarly.

"I'm already working on the Oscars," Harvey said.

"?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at the other party, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "That's it? With all due respect, this routine publicity rhythm is not new."

"Wu, do you have other ideas?" Harvey asked proactively.

Did he know that Wu Xiaozu in front of him was not a simple ordinary director. When he saw the other person's smile, he knew that the other person seemed to have his own promotional ideas.

Wu Xiaozu smiled.

Instead of continuing, he shrugged at the two of them. At this time, "Chinatown" was about to continue filming, leaving only the two Jews looking at each other.

"Are you willing to believe that he has other reliable methods?" Shay asked doubtfully.

Harvey grinned, noncommittal.

Xie Yi glanced at him, shrugged in the same way, and said nothing more... He also understood that compared to himself, Harvey undoubtedly preferred Wu Xiaozu.

Of course Wu Xiaozu had other methods, but it can only be said that Harvey has not yet truly cultivated to such a bottomless level.

The day's filming of "Chinatown" ended.

Wu Xiaozu and Harvey came to an ordinary bar on the street together.

"Two beers."

Harvey sat down next to Wu Xiaozu, "Shay's New Line Cinema is a company that is rare in the independent film industry today and has complete distribution capabilities in North America."

Wu Xiaozu picked up the cold beer on the bar and took a sip.

"If you really have a good publicity method, you might as well tell it and listen to it." Harvey took the initiative: "If it is feasible, I will arrange it. You should understand that our interests are the same..."

Wu Xiaozu continued to drink indifferently until the beer in the cup was drained and only a little foam was left. Then he put down the cup and looked at Harvey beside him with bright eyes.

"Do you know what is the most attractive part of this drama?"

"Suspense? Human nature..." Harvey tried to guess.

"What do you believe in?" Wu Xiaozu suddenly spoke, as if he was tempting the other party like Satan.

Harvey raised his eyelids, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Xiaozu took out his leather jacket, pulled out a $5 bill with "Lincoln" printed on it, and pressed it under the cup.

"For a movie with good reputation, huge controversy is not a bad thing." Wu Xiaozu stood up and left, leaving behind a meaningful sentence.

Seriously.

He also didn't expect that Harvey didn't understand this at this time.

But think about it, Hollywood did not really realize the existence of "Internet thinking" at this time.

What is the biggest controversy in "Seven Sins"?

In the previous life, this movie was able to sell hundreds of millions at the box office in North America, not just because the movie had a good reputation.

Or because of the huge controversy surrounding this drama, it even got into a huge quarrel.

Many conservatives even continued to criticize it.

This kind of controversy has made this play attract more and more people's attention.

Wu Xiaozu walked out of the bar with a smile on his face.

Inexplicably, I feel a little excited about having done something bad. This feeling seems to go back to the days when I used to do whatever it takes.

In this foreign country with no roots, he needs to be cautious but also 'impulsive'.
