"Mr. Ye, you don't need to comfort me." George Lucas waved his hand, "Disney has always only released [Family Fun] movies. Our Star Wars is full of violent elements, and it will never be released."

Since its birth, almost all Disney movies have been children-oriented, with no horror movies, thrillers, action movies, and almost all of them are children's movies.

It can be seen from the titles of the movies it has launched in recent years, such as "Computer Prodigy", "Chris' Growth", "Everything Athlete", "Magic Prodigy", etc.

"Star Wars" is full of violent scenes, such as Luke Skywalker's adoptive parents being burned to black charcoal, the Dark Lord and Obiwan fight, the Skant attacker robbed the murder tower, etc.

Disney Pictures will never do such a hairstyle. Even its subsidiary, which is released as a touchstone film, will not publish such a movie.

Ye Jin also knew that Disney could not release "Star Wars", and he said these words just for Lucas's heart.

"There are several independent publishers in Hollywood, so we might as well talk to them." He then suggested.

In addition to the six giants in Hollywood, there are actually several independent publishers. They are relatively weak and have limited distribution scope.

It seems that Xinyi Film is mostly about publishing horror films. Its theaters are mostly small theaters located in the community and campus; Miramax mainly publishes low-cost art films, and the distribution scope is limited to art film theaters.

Because independent publishers have weak strength and cannot be released, their distribution standards are low. Many movies rejected by the six giants will be asked to publish them.

But because their distribution capabilities are relatively weak, if you work with them, you basically don’t have to expect a box office miracle. Even movies that could have won over 100 million US dollars in box office after they are released, the box office may be only tens of millions of dollars.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Ye Jin is actually unwilling to cooperate with independent publishers.

...

"Mr. Ye, I'm done." George Lucas waved his hand.

If a blockbuster like "Star Wars" with an investment of up to $18 million is really reduced to being handed over to an independent publisher for distribution, it will really become a big joke in the industry.

Most of the movies released by independent producers are low-cost movies, and it is rare for more than 5 million US dollars. However, "Star Wars" is a real blockbuster and is handed over to independent producers to publish, just like a rich young man who has fallen to compete for food with beggars, which is really not embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, even if the movie "Star Wars" cannot be released, you will not be finished." Seeing that his will is so depressed, Ye Jin advised him again, "Your strength is there. If you make good movies in the future, you will definitely make a comeback."

"No, no one will invite me again." Lucas shook his head.

Some people do the beheading business, but no one does the losing business. He can't even release the movie, which makes Ye Jin lose 18 million US dollars.

Such a huge loss can probably be included in the top ten film history. After making so many mistakes, who else is willing to give him another chance?

"How could it be? I'm still there." Ye Jin said immediately when he heard this.

A large part of the reason why the movie "Star Wars" failed was, according to Ye Jin's estimate, that he did it. Without him being in a strife, the movie would definitely be as popular as in the previous life. Therefore, this matter was his fault and had little to do with Lucas.

Ye Jin still admires Lucas's own strength very much. A failure does not mean forever. He is still willing to give Lucas another chance.

"You?!" Lucas looked at Ye Jin in surprise, "You are still willing to invite me to film? Don't you hate me?"

"Of course." Ye Jin nodded, "I have worked with you, and I know you are a talented director. Moreover, the failure of "Star Wars" this time has my problems, so I won't blame you."

A kind word warms up in winter, and a bad word hurts people in June!

After hearing Ye Jin say this, George Lucas was immediately moved.

He caused Ye Jin to lose 18 million US dollars, but he didn't expect Ye Jin to believe him. This kind of grace of knowing him was really as heavy as Mount Tai, which moved him so much that his eyes were wet and his nose was sore.

"Mr. Ye, thank you." George Lucas said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Ye Jin smiled and said, "We are friends, I won't ignore you. Even if all Hollywood film companies no longer invite you to film, I will still invite you."

He knew that Lucas was the most vulnerable, helpless, most in need of comfort, and most easily impressed, so he took the opportunity to recruit, seize the opportunity, take advantage of the opportunity, and try to hit the target with one blow.

"Friend?!" George Lucas was stunned and nodded.

At this time, there are still people who are willing to be his friends. This kind of heartwarming feeling is really great.

"Okay, don't want those unhappy things, let's go and have a drink." Ye Jin pulled Lucas and said, "I'm drunk and have a good night's sleep. It's a new day to wake up early tomorrow!"

...

Ye Jin then took Lucas back to the hotel and asked the hotel for red wine, beer, steak, salad, etc., and then started drinking with Lucas.

Foreigners drink alcohol differently than Chinese people. They basically don’t have to prepare a dish, or a pack of salty biscuits, a piece of pizza, and an olive.

But Ye Jin still hopes to have some food, otherwise it would be difficult to swallow if he drinks it dryly. Moreover, he is not used to drinking red wine and thinks it tastes too astringent, so he only drinks beer.

"Brother Jin, are you okay?" Lin Qingxia couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw the two of them sitting in a silence.

"It's okay, you go back to your room, don't worry about us." Ye Jin waved his hand.

Lin Qingxia was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then walked out.

Ye Jin and Lucas immediately started drinking.

"George, don't worry, I will never abandon you in everything." Ye Jin said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Ye, you are such a good person." Lucas said drunkenly. He wanted to get himself drunk, and he fucked hard one cup of red wine, just like he didn't have money, so he had just started to get drunk.

"Of course, we Middle-earth people are talking about [loyalty]. Do you know what this word means?" Ye Jin smiled, "loyalty is to take risks for you for friendship, or even sacrifice for you. What is money? As long as you treat me as a friend, I can afford to pay tens of millions of dollars."

"Really?! You Middle-earth people are so great." Lucas said in shock, "Ye, I have always regarded you as your friend."

Ye Jin nodded with a smile, and at this moment, the phone rang.

"Brother Jin, the one you are looking for is the Warner Distribution Department." Lin Qingxia walked in and said.

Ye Jin and Lucas' eyes lit up suddenly. Could it be that the release has turned around?!
