   Chapter 495 Multi-party boycott

   In fact, it is not just the mainstream theaters in the United States, many mainstream theaters in other countries have rejected the movie to be shown in their theaters.

   "Refused to release? What's going on? Is there any misunderstanding in the sharing agreement?"

   Take Yusei is somewhat incomprehensible.

   It shouldn't be a big problem for a movie to be released in a movie theater.

   It was Tukarev who told Zhu Yuxing about this. It would be night in the United States. He sat in his office in a bad mood and finally couldn't help but called Zhu Yuxing.

   During this time, his subordinates have been trying to do theatrical distribution work.

   In the past, this was actually quite smooth, even if I was targeted last time, it didn’t affect my movie release in the cinema.

   But this time, he encountered a lot of obstacles.

   He continuously asked his subordinates to go to multiple chain cinemas to negotiate in person, but the final result was not very good.

  Tukarev explained while scolding the Russian state: "It's not about the sharing agreement. They simply refused to talk to us about the sharing. Obviously, someone is behind the instructions."

   After speaking, Tukarev made a few more classic Russian scoldings.

   "Someone behind the scenes? Instructing the entire film industry alliance, this influence is a bit big." Zhu Yuxing said with a tut.

"This should at least be something that the top ten film industry groups can do. They all have their own power in the cinema's guild, and I think there may not be only one film industry group exerting influence. Mr. Zhuyou, I am afraid someone It is targeting me, and it may also be targeting you, I am very sorry for affecting the release of your movie."

  Tukarev's release of his Xinghai Infinite movie in the United States before has really provoked some of his peers.

   Many of them are influential figures in the industry.

  Although the final result was that his film was a great success and became one of the models of low cost and high return, many people still dismissed him.

   "No, you don't have to say that, we are also friends, we must advance and retreat together."

   Zhu Yuxing was quite calm after listening to it.

It's quite normal to be targeted at   , but if a movie targets itself like this, these people are really making a fuss.

   "Isn't there a way to let go?"

Tukarev shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, Mr. Zhuyou. These people are very insistent this time, and they don't allow this movie to be released at all. Their persistence really surprised me. They didn't do this in the past. It's hard to talk."

  Zhu Yuxing was silent for a moment and then said, "Wait and see, I feel that this matter may not be over yet. Did you contact me after talking to multiple movie theaters?"

   "Yes, I called you right after I broke down with the last relatively large chain theater chain."

   "Then wait, the movie is not in a hurry anyway, there's still half a year left."

  Tukarev nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep, Suka..."

  Tukarev hung up the phone in a depressed mood.

   I have been working in the film industry for so many years, and I have never been able to go smoothly, which is really annoying.

   On Take Yusei's side, he was still overseeing the production of Final Fantasy 7 just now.

   It is mainly about the rendering of special effects, which needs to be improved as much as possible. The final fantasy 7 Advent Child made by myself has improved the picture quality more than the original.

  The original work was released in 2005, using technology from around 2003.

   In this world, the overall technology has been advanced for ten years, which is almost equivalent to the level of technology in 2013, so special effects can also be done better.

  I didn't expect that the supervising effort would get such a news that was not particularly pleasant.

   As Tukarev said, it should basically be several well-known film groups exerting influence.

   These big film industry groups may not be able to easily shake their peers at the same level.

   But a small film distributor like Tukarev can handle it easily.

   Forcing a movie out of theaters with their hands is one of the easiest things to do.

   After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuxing felt that there was no need to continue wasting time on this. Let’s wait and see if there is any movement from the US side.

   Then he devoted himself to the development of the movie and Monster Hunter again, ignoring the affairs of the United States.

   In fact, it was exactly as Zhu Yuxing had guessed, and things didn’t end so easily.

   I don't know what happened, but a group of old guys from Hollywood in the United States took the initiative to stand up this time, and took the initiative to say that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was not professional in some propaganda platforms.

"First of all, I have to admit that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has an unshakable position in its own industry. This is really powerful. One company can occupy such a dominant position. Other short companies competing with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment should be quite desperate. But I want to say that it is also a good thing for such a company to enter the film and television industry, and it can explore new industries, but what he has done has really touched my red line."

   In a movie premiere, a very veteran filmmaker directly began to disparage Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in front of the media.

   His expression was very disgusting, as if he had a deep hatred with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  The reporters almost put the interview microphone directly into the mouth of the filmmaker, trying to find out more interesting news from the filmmaker's mouth: "Then what is your red line?"

   "My red line is the director's dignity."

   "The director's dignity?"

"That's right." The filmmaker nodded and said, "This man named Zhu Youxing is an excellent game developer. Many people recognize this identity very much, and many people even give him the title of God of Games. , this is very powerful, but I want to say that this is not the reason for him to be a higher commander than the director. The director's commanding power should be respected. His behavior is trampling on the director's dignity. It will absolutely boycott all the films of this Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.”

   "So that's the case, so besides you, are there many other filmmakers who have the same idea?"

   "That's for sure. Now we have joined a number of cinema chains to boycott this kind of behavior. We must give the director the highest respect. Unless Yuxing Entertainment changes his mind and allows the director to regain the dominant position, we will not let go."

   This is somewhat of a big news. A movie deserves to be boycotted by many well-known filmmakers, which is also a very rare thing.

   Of course things are definitely not so simple and simple.

"Is this too obvious? Is there anything more shameless than this? When will the United States return to the absolute responsibility of directors? Why haven't I heard of it?" When Tukarev saw this interview video I couldn't help but curse again.

   American movies have gone through many stages of development, and this is an industry with a history of nearly a hundred years.

  A long time ago, movies were just very simple little pictures, and then gradually derived from the medium of movies.

   In this process, the director is gradually born, and then becomes the general director of a film.

This situation changed after a major production that almost affected the entire industry hit the streets. Since then, the United States is no longer a simple director general responsibility system. On top of it, people such as producers are added to supervise the director's behavior. It is necessary to Time to stop the director from wasting too much money.

   This kind of thing has existed for a long time, but it seems that it has never happened in the mouths of these filmmakers.

   However, the dominant behavior of Zhu Yuxing is actually a bit special.

   Because Zhu Yuxing not only controlled the budget, but also imposed his own will on this film.

   Zhu Yuxing provides the main creative content to the director, the director is almost equal to the general scheduling, and there is no freedom to play.

   But the director himself doesn't mind this kind of thing, and the accusation by outsiders is really just a dog taking a mouse.

   If there is no inside story, this is really a fool
