"Mr. Anderson, I also know that it is a bit difficult for people to do this." Ye Jin looked at George Anderson with a sincere face and said, "However, the movie "Star Wars" is the result of my heart, and I can't bear to hide it. I also hope you can understand my mood.

Furthermore, one of the reasons why "Star Wars" was not favored at that time was because the director and starring were not well-known enough. But now that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released before, George Lucas and Harrison Ford's reputation will increase greatly.

And I also have a work like "Dragon Hard Boy 2", which can make my popularity go up to a higher level. I think "Star Wars" has the blessing of these fame, which should have a certain box office appeal."

"Well..." George Anderson couldn't help but ponder when he heard Ye Jin say this.

Indeed, the reason why Star Wars was rejected for release was that the star lineup was not strong enough and lacked box office appeal was a very important reason.

At that time, George Lucas had disappeared in the film industry for three years, and his box office appeal had disappeared; Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia were both Chinese, and his box office appeal was not advantageous; Harrison Ford was a complete newcomer...

Such a lineup is naturally not enough to be a box office appeal. In addition, the story of "Star Wars" is messy and incredible, so it discourages the major giants.

But now Ye Jin is likely to soar with "Dragon Hardwig 2" and Harrison Ford's popularity is likely to soar with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", becoming a popular star at the top and second-tier.

George Lucas is also likely to turn the tables with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and become the first-class producer and director in Hollywood again.

In this way, "Star Wars" will naturally benefit from it and have a certain box office appeal. Even if you only get 20 to 30 million US dollars in box office, you should be able to earn back the release fee.

"Can I let me think about it?" George Anderson then said to Ye Jin.

"Okay, but hurry up. The summer season is coming soon, and the promotion of new films has been put on the agenda. If you cannot make a decision as soon as possible, the promotion will be a long way behind." Ye Jin reminded.

Schools in Asiatica have a summer vacation, which basically lasts for two months from July to September, and now it is mid-June.

The promotion of movies should be preceded by the release of the movies. Most movies will start promotion one month or even half a year in advance.

It seems that "Mulan" starring Tianxian has been putting posters and trailers since July last year. Its original release date was March 27 this year.

Marvel's "Black Widow" is also scheduled to be released in November this year, but its first trailer was released in December last year.

The reason why it is promoted so early is to constantly brainwash the audience. Through high-density and high-frequency publicity, people can remember this movie. When it is released, people will naturally have the hope of buying tickets to watch it. This is called - [Advertising effect].

If the promotional schedule is insufficient and the promotional effect is not achieved, then no matter how good the film is, the box office will not be high, and the publisher will suffer losses. Therefore, there is not much time left for Warner, and it must make a decision quickly.

George Anderson naturally knew this, so he nodded with his lips tightly.

...

Ye Jin then visited several giants such as Universal, Fox, Paramount, Colombia, etc. with a copy of "Raiders of the Lottery", except for Disney.

It’s not that he is hostile to Disney, mainly because the movies produced and released by Disney are all family-friendly movies, that is, G-level, suitable for watching together for the whole family and young, without any restrictions.

However, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Dragon Hard 2" and "Star Wars" have fighting, murder and horror scenes, so they are all PG-level and above, that is, they can only watch movies under parental guidance, which does not meet Disney's distribution standards.

Even if these movies are handed over to Disney for release, they will be cut into pieces and damage the quality of the movie. Therefore, Disney has never been the object of Ye Jin's cooperation.

After watching "Raiders of the Lost Ark", giants such as Universal, Fox, and Paramount are also very satisfied with the quality of this movie and hope to release this movie.

Ye Jin also took the opportunity to propose his [bundled sales] strategy again and explained his reasons again.

After hearing his words, the major giants responded differently.

Like Universal, Paramount responded coldly and said he had to consider it, while Fox and Columbia were very interested in this matter. Fox even agreed to accept Ye Jin's condition on the spot, which made Ye Jin overjoyed.

The reason why major giants react differently is that their situations are different.

In recent years, Universal Pictures has produced and released movies such as "Jaws", "The Battle of Midway", and "Other Side of the Mountain", all of which are among the top ten in the annual box office rankings.

Paramount Pictures also has "Heroes Without Tears", "King Kong", "Little Stick to the World", "Godfather" series, etc., which are also the top works in the box office rankings.

Therefore, these two companies have relatively good performance, and when facing Ye Jin, they have more chips and are less likely to accept his conditions for bundling sales.

In comparison, Fox Pictures and Columbia Pictures are both facing funding shortages and on the verge of bankruptcy.

For example, Fox Pictures has failed in investment in the past two years, and its films produced by them such as "The Fight", "Crazy Violation", "A Trouble", "Thunderbolt Fire" have lost consecutive box offices, losing nearly $50 million.

The same is true for Columbia Pictures. Its films such as "Driving in the Desperate", "Shadow Eagle", "Fighter", and "The Rich" also lost both box office and reputation.

For this reason, both companies are in a bad situation now and urgently need movies that can be sold well to help them overcome difficulties. Ye Jin brought out "Dragon Hard Boy 2" and "Raptors of the Lost Ark" are in line with their needs. As for "Star Wars" although it is a little worse and may cause losses again, it cannot take care of so many.

For them, as long as they can alleviate the current dilemma, they will recognize it even if they release a few more bad movies.

...

However, although Ye Jin was very happy that the two companies were so proud of each other, he did not agree to the request from both companies immediately. The so-called [shopping comparison] is that only two of them agree now, and they are still two troubled issuing companies.

Whether they still have enough strength to release Dragon Hard 2, India's Lost Ark and Star Wars is still a question.

If their funds run out and the company declares bankruptcy halfway through the issuance, it will be a very deadly matter. Therefore, Ye Jin is planning to wait for another two days. If Warner, Universal, and Paramount do not agree, he will consider Fox and Columbia.
