Chapter 409

……

On the other side.

Across the ocean.

*The Matrix* had been promoting in North America for several days.

The effect was really good. After all, Qin Yu wasn't a nobody. Last year's *Now You See Me* also had nearly 100 million USD in box office in the US.

That's not a small amount.

Many Americans have a deep impression of Qin Yu.

Not just because Qin Yu is a director, but it was later dug out that he was also the screenwriter and lead actor.

Self-written, self-directed, self-acted, overflowing with talent.

Warner's focus in promotion was also this point.

Shaping Qin Yu into a genius director.

Many movie fans were very interested.

This is also a tradition in the US; they like geniuses, even geniuses with quirks are the same.

Many like Steve Jobs.

Many Americans worship him, even thinking his paranoia is cute.

Geniuses, after all, have some small quirks, otherwise why call them geniuses?

……

Warner Headquarters.

Premiere at midnight, Warner also held a special meeting.

In the conference room.

Jeff sat at the top, looked at the group of people from Warner, and asked.

"You've all seen *The Matrix*, right?"

Hearing this, the executives present were a bit embarrassed. That's right, they had all seen it.

How should I put it?

Good.

Especially good.

Much better than *Pacific Rim*.

As veteran filmmakers, they weren't blind.

Now *The Matrix* hasn't finished its run in China, and after being released for more than twenty days, it's actually about the same as their *Pacific Rim*.

Yesterday, *The Matrix*'s box office was 27 million, *Pacific Rim*'s was 30 million.

A difference of less than 3 million.

You have to know that it had already been released for twenty-three days.

It's outrageous.

Luckily they didn't release it at the same time, otherwise, they could have lost their pants.

Everyone looked at Jason, who was sitting on the side resting with his eyes closed. This guy saved them once.

"Steve, what do you think?"

Steve, the head of the production department, didn't know what to say.

Damn it.

His face was incredibly red. He had strongly opposed it before.

But he wasn't stupid. As an elite of Warner, he could bend and stretch.

And anyway, Warner had already cooperated with Qin Yu, so I'll just pretend what happened before didn't happen.

"Mr. Jeff, I think we should go talk to the cinema chains again."

"2,000 premiere screens are too few."

Steve looked excited.

"I've watched *The Matrix*. Qin is a true genius, an absolute film genius. We should maintain a good relationship with him."

"Although *The Matrix* will only be released in a few hours, I have confidence it will achieve good results."

"Also..."

Steve continued.

"I heard Qin refused to come to the US for a roadshow. This won't do. Qin must come. Don't forget *The Matrix* has sequels; this is only the first one."

"What about later? Are we going to hand it over to others? Let Qin Yu come to the US, come to Hollywood."

"Let Warner become Qin's friend. Warner is the first film company to enter China, we have good reputation and friendship."

"I believe as long as we show sincerity, Qin won't refuse."

"And as Warner's production minister, I am duty-bound!"

After Steve finished speaking, the entire conference room was silent, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

The executives present looked at Steve with quite strange expressions.

Surprise, weirdness, admiration, disdain.

If they remembered correctly, just half a month ago, this guy was still strongly opposing cooperation with Qin Yun Culture at the meeting.

Even proposing to compete with *The Matrix* in China.

His face was full of arrogance.

Looking down on Qin Yu and his *The Matrix*, even thinking he was an opportunist.

Now actually...

Shit.

Steve, you're really shameless.

……

Even Jason, who was usually very calm, opened his eyes and looked at Steve.

Seeming to re-recognize this Warner production minister.

Jeff, sitting at the top, was very happy to hear this.

As an absolute top executive of Warner, Steve is very qualified.

Shameless?

This is necessary for an elite.

Being able to bend and stretch is a real man.

"Steve said it well, what do you think?"

Hearing Jeff's words, if the executives present still didn't understand, they were truly idiots.

Mr. Steve had already given them an on-the-spot lesson.

……………………

PS: Brothers, it's the 1st, begging for monthly tickets.

Updated 600,000 words last month, the author didn't slack off.

Support me.

Ten tickets for an extra update, kneeling in thanks!

215: Shameless Steve, snatching people, *The Matrix* released, the shock of the Americans! The storm is rising.

"BOSS, I agree with Mr. Steve. Qin is indeed a genius. I suggest investing another 3 million as promotion funds."

"Yes, BOSS. Warner has always attached great importance to talent. I am willing to go to China with Steve."

"..."

"I agree. I suggest contacting the cinema chains immediately. I believe *The Matrix* will bring us unimaginable and rich profits."

"Well said. Americans are curious about Chinese kung fu to begin with. The fighting scenes in *The Matrix* are very exciting. I believe they will love it."

"..."

"..."

The executives present started bragging.

Must say, being able to sit in the position of Warner executives, everyone is very proficient in how to brag. ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
