Chapter 367

But it must be said that he is indeed a very capable director.

Brought a Chinese film to the whole world.

Overseas box office 180 million USD, plus China's 900 million, it exceeded 320 million USD.

This number is not low.

It can also be ranked in the top 100 in world film history.

Although Qin Yu has never been to Hollywood, he is also quite famous here.

More importantly, they lost to Lionsgate last time they competed.

Letting Lionsgate earn at least 30 million USD for nothing.

A big sigh of relief.

"BOSS, I don't think we need to be afraid of Qin Yu, sci-fi films, Chinese people can't play."

"But that's Qin Yu, Steve, you haven't seen *Now You See Me*."

"……"

"So what, no director can guarantee success all the time."

"That's right, we don't need to change the plan. That would lose face."

"I agree too, Warner has never been afraid of anyone, and our *Pacific Rim* is also very outstanding in terms of box office worldwide."

"……"

Although some Warner executives didn't agree with releasing it together with *The Matrix*.

But most still supported it, the reason is simple, because they are Warner.

And *Pacific Rim* is really not bad.

At least the response in the US and Europe is okay.

Jeff didn't speak, listening to everyone's discussion.

Suddenly he saw Promotion Minister Josen hadn't spoken.

Still old and calm.

Asked strangely.

"Josen, what's your opinion?"

Everyone also looked at Josen, frowning.

A bit wary.

Although this promotion minister is not very old, he really climbed up step by step from the bottom.

Looks gentle, actually a ruthless person.

The position of promotion minister is not easy to do, without thunderous means, you can't deter the people below.

And he has sat in this position for five full years.

Josen looked around, looked at the executives, and smiled.

Said unhurriedly.

"I have no opinion, but I do have a suggestion."

"Please speak."

"I'm wondering what you guys are trying to prove?" Josen looked at the executives.

"Prove Qin is a genius? Or a lucky person? What does this have to do with our Warner."

"Joe, what do you mean?" Steve asked.

"Very simple, no matter if Qin is a genius or an idiot, we don't need to have any conflict with Qin."

"Now we haven't announced the release time in China."

"So Mr. Steve, there is no such thing as being afraid or losing face."

Steve: "……"

"Let's talk about the second point, I got news that *The Matrix* will premiere at the Great Hall in China, it has been tested by their high-level."

"This shows the quality is not bad, we are here to make money, not to fight."

Hearing this, the Warner executives present frowned.

Indeed, they were a bit impulsive before.

"And the last point, don't forget, we already missed *Now You See Me*, why not contact Qin Yu again."

"I think Qin must have the intention to release overseas, he also has this qualification."

"Qin should be very happy to be friends with our Warner, right?"

"……"

"But Lionsgate~"

"Do you think Durand can be compared with our Warner? Without exaggeration, if *Now You See Me* was distributed by our Warner."

"The box office would rise by 10% to 20%, as the promotion minister, I have this confidence."

"……"

Josen said his thoughts unhurriedly, as for how to choose, he didn't say.

In the conference room, the executives were silent.

Jeff above stroked his small mustache, looking at Josen with a satisfied look.

"Let's do this for now, Josen is right, since that's the case, let's watch the show first, anyway China's holiday is not short, there is plenty of time."

"Let Universal and New Line go try, we'll release it in late July."

"Yes, BOSS!"

The meeting ended, everyone left, Josen also, but was kept by Jeff.

"Mr. Jeff, anything else?"

"Interested in going to China?" Jeff looked at Josen and asked.

"Sir wants to……"

"It doesn't matter what I think, you can go or not, it's up to you."

Josen hesitated for a moment and said with a smile.

"I do want to go see what kind of person that genius director who is a bit famous is."

"……"

"Since that's the case, the promotion of *Pacific Rim* in China is also handed to you."

"Okay, sir."

A few minutes later, Josen left; he understood Jeff's meaning.

Go contact Qin Yu, if *The Matrix* is really good, try to intercept it.

By the way, make friends with Qin Yu.

Now China's film industry is developing rapidly, and Warner naturally wants to eat a piece of the cake.

On the other side.

*The Matrix* promotion is in full swing.

Qin Yu even went into battle himself, taking several commercial shows.

Endorsements are not urgent, wait until *The Matrix* is over.

Fame is bigger, although the price is very high in the eyes of others now.

Qin Yu is still a bit dissatisfied.

The reason he worked so hard is because Qin Yu regarded *Pacific Rim* as a potential competitor.

But he never expected that Warner actually retreated.

When he got the news, Qin Yu couldn't believe his eyes.

Qin Yu, who had just finished a day of activities, returned to the car.

Wiped his sweat, his face was a bit unbelievable.

Looked at Fatty on the side and asked suspiciously.

"Fatty, you're not joking, Warner announced the release time of *Pacific Rim* is July 24th?"

"It's true." Fatty Zhou was also a bit strange.

He didn't expect Warner didn't fight with *The Matrix*.

This is a bit inconsistent with Warner's consistent domineering style.
