Chapter 214

No matter what, no matter how they curse China for being bad, in fact, most people still have national pride in their hearts.

It’s just that the cruel reality makes them a bit disappointed.

But now, seeing Qin Yu’s movie directly scare off a Hollywood blockbuster, any Chinese person would feel their national pride explode.

It’s as if they had won a great battle.

“Wow, Director Qin is mighty, I’m going to have a drink today, *The Matrix* is really amazing, damn it, it directly scared *Journey* away.”

“Haha, it cracked me up.”

“……”

“Agreed, seeing *Journey* withdraw from the schedule, it’s really funny. I thought this guy was going to fight hard, after all, it was going to be released tomorrow, but I didn’t expect it to run.”

“Really boring, I was waiting for *The Matrix* to beat the Hollywood blockbuster to pieces, this damn Universal actually has no backbone, running?”

“Deserter.”

“Deserter plus 1.”

“……”

“……”

“Do you really think people are stupid? If it were me, I’d run too, what the hell, 300 million in four days, damn, fight your mother’s hammer, only a fool wouldn’t run.”

“Well said, when everyone is so excited, let’s go support it again, 3D isn’t tight anymore.”

“That’s right, brothers, how can we not support this?”

“……”

“……”

“Damn, are you two internet water army?”

“Plus 1, too obvious, but what you said makes sense, I haven’t watched 3D yet.”

“Plus 1.”

“……”

*The Matrix* exploded in popularity again because of *Journey*’s withdrawal, and the next day’s box office reached 72 million.

It actually rose.

The people in the circle were instantly stunned!

It can still do this?

Damn.

What the hell.

Now, as long as anyone with eyes can see that no one can stop *The Matrix*’s footsteps.

*Journey* withdrew, the next Hollywood blockbuster to be released is *Pacific Rim*.

Separated by more than twenty days.

These twenty days in between.

*The Matrix* is going to kill it.

Meanwhile, Qiaosen was also furious; he knew Qin Yu was tricky, but he didn’t expect him to be this tricky.

He received a call from Warner Bros.; a group of people from Qin Yun Culture had gone to Hollywood and were bragging about *The Matrix*.

Especially after *Journey* withdrew, they bragged even more.

After watching the movie, they also felt it was a good movie, and many people contacted Qin Yun Culture.

If Warner Bros. didn’t make a move, Fox, Universal, Sony, and Disney wouldn’t be polite.

Even CEO Jeff told Qiaosen that he must act immediately.

Hurry and take *The Matrix* into their pocket.

Qiaosen had no choice but to act.

“Sendi, where are Qin and the others now?”

Qiaosen was speechless; Qin Yu wasn’t even in the capital right now, he was still on a roadshow.

He had to go find him.

“Minister, they might be in Hangzhou or Chongqing now, specifically, we haven’t received accurate news.”

“Because they are afraid of leaks and being watched, Qin usually decides in the morning.”

Qiaosen: “……”

Seeing Qiaosen’s bad expression, the assistant hurriedly added.

“Sir, you can call Qin.”

“No, this kind of thing can’t be explained clearly on the phone. Going in person counts as sincerity; you must remember this.”

“Chinese people value a word called sincerity; before, Qin Yu cooperated with Brown.”

“Brown came from Hollywood in person.”

“……”

Sendi nodded upon hearing this; it was indeed so.

“Is it in Chongqing or Hangzhou?”

“Very likely in Chongqing.”

“Good, let’s act immediately.”

“Yes, Minister.”

“……”

Arriving in Chongqing, Qiaosen and his group hurriedly contacted local partners.

They were furious; Qin Yu and the others had already gone to Hangzhou.

Thinking about it, Qiaosen decided to rest for a day.

But he didn’t expect that when he went to Hangzhou the next day, Qin Yu and the others had already finished the roadshow and gotten on a plane.

They chased for three days in a row.

Finally, Qiaosen had no choice but to call Qin Yu.

Finally, on the tenth day of *The Matrix*’s release, he met Qin Yu in Shenzhen.

Coffee shop.

In a quiet private room.

Qin Yu was looking at a magazine, taking a sip of coffee from time to time, and then added a sugar cube.

Damn it, what kind of broken coffee is three hundred a cup, it doesn’t even taste as good as iced red tea.

And it’s Blue Mountain.

Foreigners can really brag.

……

What iced Americano, Qin Yu bought it once when he was working in his previous life.

How should he describe this taste? Anyway, he had lived for decades and had never eaten such bitterness.

The kind that kills you.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei next to him was looking at her phone and drinking coffee, laughing like an idiot.

Having so much fun.

“Pay attention, what’s so funny, your gums are showing.”

“Hate you.” Liu Yifei hurriedly retracted, but the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile involuntarily.

She shook her phone in front of Qin Yu.

Looking proud.

“Look, our movie has broken 700 million in ten days! 730 million! My fans all say I acted very well.”

“Before, it was just those directors who delayed me; in fact, my acting skills are the best among my peers.”

“……”

Qin Yu: “……”

……………………

PS: Second extra update.

Thanks to the brothers for the monthly tickets.

Continue, continue. ===== CHAPTER 395 =====

Last day!!

208: Overseas cooperation reached, gambling agreement, 1 billion box office record broken, the main event is here, *The Matrix* aims at *Avatar*!

But Liu Yifei felt that what the fans said was very right; she was a professionally trained actor.

She was the female lead as soon as she debuted. The following years were the same.

The reason she failed for a few years later was because she met a group of stupid directors.

Otherwise, with her acting skills and conditions, her popularity should have exceeded those big-name stars long ago.

Why wait until now~

Liu Yifei had doubted herself before, it was really unnecessary, I am indeed the best.

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched; there were too many points to complain about, and he didn’t know how to complain for a moment.

Seeing Liu Yifei like this, she shouldn’t have taken it seriously, right?

She believes this too?

No wonder a scumbag like him can live so well; it’s all because you women have no brains~.

To be honest.

In Qin Yu’s view, Liu Yifei’s acting skills were far worse than those big-name stars.

Even among the little flowers, Liu Yifei’s acting skills were at the bottom.

Not as good as Liu Shishi, not as good as Zhao Liying, and even worse than Yang Mi.

The reason why *The Matrix*’s female lead chose this woman was because Liu Yifei had an advantage in character suitability.

This woman’s physical skills were quite good.

Another reason was naturally that Liu Yifei could help him make money.

Acting skills?

You have the acting skills of a hammer.

“What are you happy about? 730 million, have you thought about what position you’ll use? Do you like from behind or from the front?”

Liu Yifei: “……”

“Bastard, go away.” Liu Yifei blushed incredibly.

Qin Yu shrugged and ignored the woman; anyway, unless you run away, you definitely won’t be able to escape.

Liu Yifei also felt a bit scared, and after a while, she gently pulled Qin Yu’s sleeve and negotiated.

“How about I help you, don’t do that!”

Qin Yu gently touched Liu Yifei’s little face and said gently.

“No, I want you!”

“Wuwu!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle, but you’d better prepare some painkillers.”

Liu Yifei: “……”

Sure enough, smiles don’t disappear; they just transfer from one person’s face to another’s.

Liu Yifei hung her head, and Qin Yu laughed happily.

Not long after, the main person arrived.

“Director Qin, Miss Liu, long time no see.”

Qin Yu looked at the dusty Qiaosen and his assistant and almost laughed out loud again.

He also asked and found out how unlucky this guy was again.

He chased for several days before catching up.

“Sit down, my friend Qiaosen, would you like a cup of coffee?”

“It would be an honor.”

Not long after, the waiter brought the coffee up; at first, the two didn’t talk about the movie, just chatting about everything.

Chatting about everything.

Slowly, Qiaosen felt incredibly surprised.

The Qin Yu in front of him had a wide range of knowledge, completely unlike a young man in his twenties.

“Director Qin, why do you think Marvel will fall into the abyss?”

“Marvel is incredibly popular right now.”

“It’s very simple, they are too anxious, and, you know the US better than I do, in order to cater to political correctness.”

“They stuffed in a lot of strange things.”

Qin Yu curled his lips.

“It looks fair and just, but it’s actually walking the wrong path, and I heard Disney is preparing to replace Scarlett and Robert Jr.”

Qin Yu looked at Qiaosen and said with a smile.

“Do you believe that as long as they dare to, then this *Avengers* will fall by half?”

“This……”

Qiaosen didn’t know what to say; he also knew the difficulties Marvel was facing.

If they didn’t replace the actors, the high salary would probably cause the movie to collapse, but if they replaced them, they were afraid the audience wouldn’t accept it.

Qin Yu looked at Qiaosen’s conflicted look and found it funny.

This world is moving much faster than Marvel in his previous life; now *Avengers 3* has already been released.

It seems it was released in 2017 in his previous life.

But it didn’t affect anything, the plot was about the same.

The reason why *Avengers 4* hasn’t come out after nearly two years is because they can’t afford it.

Robert Jr., Scarlett, and Chris are too expensive.

They are still negotiating, and it would be good to see *Avengers 4* next year.

However, Thanos isn’t much to look at; the first three *Avengers* movies were not bad, but the later ones were a bit lagging.

“Qiaosen, what do you think they will choose?”

“They should still keep them; if they really replaced them, many fans probably wouldn’t accept it.”

Qin Yu nodded; Qiaosen is worthy of being an elite at Warner Bros., his judgment is very strong.

“Alright, Qiaosen, let’s not talk about other things, you want to talk about the overseas release of *The Matrix*.”

Too lazy to chat with Qiaosen, Qin Yu decided to cut the Gordian knot.

Talk this matter over early.

In fact, he also liked Warner Bros.; among the major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros. was the first to enter China.

And it was considered relatively friendly to China.

Hearing this, Qiaosen also became serious.

He even straightened his clothes and reached out.

“Qin, please speak.”

“It’s very simple, I only want 15% of the global box office share, copyright joint development, but it belongs to me in China.”

“You can buy out the peripherals for four million US dollars, and I want 60% of other copyright revenue.”

“……”

“……”

Qiaosen frowned when he heard this.

Qin Yu’s conditions weren’t harsh, but they were definitely not low.

And many of them were pinching the lifeline.

Wanting to agree, Qiaosen felt it was a loss.

“Qin, why don’t you want peripheral shares?”

“Qiaosen,” Qin Yu looked at him, his face full of mockery.

“I heard that the last *Harry Potter* seems to have lost money again.”

Qiaosen: “……”

“Fine, I can agree to this condition, but 15% share and 60% revenue is too much.”

“How about 13 and 50?” ===== CHAPTER 396 =====
