Chapter 656: The Problem of Foreign Screening

After the domestic screening of "Infernal Affairs" was settled, Xiao Yunhai flew to Xiangjiang with the film early the next morning.

Originally, he wanted Ren Qiao and the others to go to Yanjing, but he needed to go to the United States, so he came to Xiangjiang on the way.

Ren Qiaoqiao and Zhao Xiyan personally went to the airport to pick him up. After lunch, in the screening room, everyone watched "Infernal Affairs" together.

Ren Qiaoqiao couldn't hide his shock and looked at Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Mr. Xiao, your movie is simply too surprising."

Zhao Xiyan said: "And it's very courageous. Not a single good person has died, but the bad person is at large, but it just confirms the theme of Infernal Affairs. Living is more uncomfortable than death."

Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao is really my bosom friend. It's a pity that those guys from the Huaxia Film and Television Bureau don't have such a high appreciation ability. I had no choice but to change the ending of the Huaxia version to Liu Jianming's arrest. Zhao President, President Ren, you shouldn't have this problem here, right?"

Ren Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "No. As long as there are no scenes that smear those Asian countries in the movie, there is no problem with the review. Mr. Xiao, I hope we can continue to sign the contract of "Fighting Heroes", what do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Yes. However, I have to tell you two in advance that my "Inception" is not so cheap."

Zhao Xiyan said: "As for the price, we can discuss it later."

Xiao Yunhai said, "No problem. And I hope this movie will premiere on February 16. What do you two think?"

Ren Qiaoqiao said with embarrassment: "Mr. Xiao, why can't it be shown in advance in other Asian countries?"

Xiao Yunhai asked, "President Ren, is there any inconvenience in your theater chain?"

Zhao Xiyan nodded,

Dao: "That's right. Because we signed a contract with Warner Bros., we will show their film "Kaiser the Great" on February 20, and the schedule should not be less than 45%. If "Infernal Affairs" is in ten If it is released on the sixth day, it may conflict with them. Therefore, we hope that you can stagger the schedule and try to advance the premise as much as possible.”

Xiao Yunhai nodded.

Zhao Xiyan said: "One week later, it will be released on February 12. The number of films will not be less than 40% in the first three days, and will be appropriately increased or decreased according to its performance in the future."

Xiao Yunhai thought about it and agreed with Zhao Xiyan's arrangement.

For Xiao Yunhai, "Infernal Affairs" four days ahead of schedule in other Asian countries is not all bad.

Although the trailer posted by Xiao Yunhai on the Internet has been well received by fans, there are still many people who don't approve of it, thinking that Xiao Yunhai just kept the most exciting paragraphs, and the other plots may not work.

Therefore, if "Infernal Affairs" can be popular all over Asia, and then reversely attack China, it is also a good method.

After signing the contract with the two, Xiao Yunhai left the film for them to copy, and flew to Los Angeles without any delay.

He needs to hand over "Infernal Affairs" to the Film Review Association as soon as possible, and after the review, immediately launch the publicity.

What is different from the promotion strategy of "Heroes of Jingwu" last time is that this time he will not only publish the trailer on the video website, but also promote it well on the homepage of major portal websites.

It is guaranteed that movie fans in the United States can immediately see the slogan of "Infernal Affairs" as long as they go online.

To this end, he prepared a full $100 million.

After coming out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai called Kerry, and after learning that he was in the company, he asked the housekeeper Ivor Spencer to drive to the headquarters of MGM.

Walking into Kerry's office, Xiao Yunhai said unceremoniously, "Man, help me, let the Film Review Association review my film? On February 16th, I will make it available in major theaters in North America. show."

Kerry said, "Have you finished your "Inception"?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "The post-production special effects of that film are a little troublesome, and it will take more than a month for it to be released. This is another film I made recently, and it's called Infernal Affairs."

Kerry asked in surprise: "Recently? What a joke, how long did it take you?"

It was less than a month since Kerry returned from Huaxia, and Xiao Yunhai did not make a movie at that time, which means that his "Infernal Affairs" took only three weeks at most.

how can that be?

But then, Xiao Yunhai's words made Kerry stupid.

"Seven days of preparation, six days to finish, and four days to complete the post-production."

Kerry sat in the chair for a long time before he said with an incredible look, "Xiao, you are crazy. Seventeen days, one movie, what kind of international joke."

Xiao Yunhai smiled proudly and said, "Your reaction is very similar to that of many of us in China. However, I want to tell you that you ordinary people don't understand the world of genius."

Kerry stood up and said, "Don't brag. Come with me with the movie first. I want to take a good look at it. How bad can a movie that can be finished in six days?"

Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "You will be very surprised."

After ninety minutes, Kerry walked out of the screening room in shock.

"Xiao, is this really the movie you shot in seventeen days?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "All Chinese movie fans know, why did I lie to you?"

Kerry shook his head and sighed: "Maybe you're right. The world of genius, I really don't understand. You guy is too powerful, and the acting skills of the actors in it are also very strong, no better than Oscar at all. Poor actor. Xiao, when the movie is released, you can apply for an Oscar for it. I think you will get several nominations. By the way, you can also apply for your "Fighting Heroes". Other awards may be choked, but The best motion design should have a good chance."

The Oscars ceremony in this world is held on April 12 every year. It was reported in February that Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" was screened too late, so he could only participate in next year's Oscars. But "Fighting Heroes" was released last year and fully met the conditions.

Xiao Yunhai said, "Kerry, how does this program go?"

Kerry said: "Write an application and send it to the Oscar jury. I'll handle this for you."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Great. Kerry, when will Infernal Affairs be approved?"

Kerry said: "Don't worry, in three days, I promise to do it for you."

Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Tonight, I will invite you to dinner, and I will also call Jesse."

"no problem."
