Chapter 148 I will dominate the August schedule, who agrees and who disagrees? !
Chen An had no idea about the praise that Xiao Ma Ge was giving him in his heart. Even if he knew, he would just say that it was all left over from your fun.

You are the genius!
Brother Xiao Ma was so excited that he wanted to rush back to develop these things, but Chen An held him back, "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

Let him eat his meal first, otherwise it will be wasted.

"And what I said can only be used after your user base grows to a certain level. The main task now is to increase publicity, reduce advertising, and simplify the interface so that users can operate better."

"I understand Director Chen. I really admire you for thinking so much."

"We all come from studying movies, and we know what the audience likes to watch and what they like. We are all the same."

Chen An smiled and waved his hands. Of course he couldn't say that I was repeating all your mistakes from the future.

After the chat, Xiao Ma Ge’s appetite was greatly increased. He drank three bowls of rice directly with his thin body and ate very happily.

The brief explanation made him feel like he was seeing the blue sky after the clouds had cleared. It was simply the best thing that could have happened to him to have Chen An join.

Chen An was also very happy. His last wish had been fulfilled. This was how his life would be. He could just go and have fun watching the movie.

Both parties were very happy and felt that they had made a huge profit.

That night, Xiao Ma Ge flew directly back to the company to prepare for the next operation.

Not long after, Chen An's funds were transferred to the other party's account. It was transferred so quickly that he had to seize the opportunity as it was not to be missed.

For the next few nights, I dreamed of laughing.

It's a pity that Jack Ma can't get involved. He has ideas and thoughts, and he is good at speaking and fooling people. Now he has no shortage of funds.

In the following free time, Chen An could only make movies for entertainment.

It was not until July that Chen An boarded a plane to Hollywood.

Warner's optimism about "District 9" can be seen from the fact that it has been moved up to the summer schedule.

Various publicity efforts have basically already begun, and movie promotions can be seen everywhere on the Internet, but they are also meant to shock the audience, with all the clips edited containing special effects.

Including the spaceship that only appears a few times throughout the article.

There is still more than a month before the release, and Chen An has already started cooperating with the film's promotions.

However, this time there is a heavyweight actor. Although he is not a first-line superstar, he is a well-known actor with good acting skills and he still has some attention.

Ever since Marlon Brando went around saying the movie was rubbish because he wasn't paid, and only started praising the movie after he was paid, Warner has written the cooperation in publicity into the contract.

As expected of a heavyweight actor, his every word and action can lead to institutional reforms in Hollywood.

"Chen, how was the movie?" Jerry in the screening room asked director Chen An.

He has watched it several times and thought it was good. Now he wants to ask director Chen An what he thinks of it.

Chen An nodded and thought there was nothing wrong after reading it. He adopted all the suggestions he had made in the later stages. "Jerry, get ready for success. My goal this time is to make over 100 million in North American box office alone!"

Compared to the last passionate death schedule, this time it can be said that there is no rival, and the popular movies in July have been released.

Films such as "Current Danger" and "X-Men" have been released in July, and the subsequent hit films will be released after October.

Warner Bros. was even ready for a global simultaneous release after the first weekend box office results came out.

"You really dare to think about Chen, but I hope so too." Jerry was quite satisfied and said with a happy smile when he saw Chen An.

We have entered the competitive summer season again. Even though it is the end of the season, it is also the most competitive period. Compared to the nervousness last time, we are full of confidence this time.

Warner's ample publicity funds made the publicity overwhelming, and the screening range of 3049 theaters made Jerry full of confidence. Chen An appeared on three shows under Jerry's arrangement.

One with Jerry, one with Sean, and one with Naomi.

There are also some media interviews.

"Chen, as a director from China, are you confident in the science fiction film you made?"

There are media outlets that are pessimistic about this. Science fiction movies are a rare type of film for Chinese-language films, and the ones that are generally good at it are Hollywood. Chen An cannot deny this kind of pessimism.

Facing the media microphone and the camera, he said: "I have never failed. Whether in China or in Hollywood, my movie will dominate the entire August schedule. If you don't believe me, let's give it a try!"

This was the first time that he made such outrageous remarks in front of the media, which shocked the reporters below. In their impression, Chen An was just like other Asians, but they did not expect him to say such outrageous words this time.

The next day, the Hollywood Daily reported Chen An’s words in the newspaper:

'The lucky guy from China thought he could make such a boast just because he won an Oscar. He arrogantly declared that a 30 million-dollar R-rated movie would dominate the August schedule. Please prepare to see the joke, audience!'

The disapproval of Chen An has turned into ridicule, but Chen An doesn't care. At least he put the report in the first and most conspicuous place, which can be regarded as a kind of exposure.

It's no wonder that the other party mocked him. Besides the fact that Chen An's remarks were a bit arrogant, the movie was an R-rated movie, which was second only to NC-17 movies that were prohibited for minors to watch.

Audiences under the age of seventeen must be accompanied by a parent or adult.

Warner also seized the opportunity and tried to gain exposure, every bit counts.

The chain reaction has also been hotly discussed by people online in North America. Most of those who are at the forefront of the Internet are teenagers, who are also the largest group of moviegoers:
"Oh, the arrogant Chinese boy, has anyone seen his movie?"

"Run Lola Run is his movie, and last year's Little Miss Sunshine was also his movie."

"It's a joke that a young director who made road comedies is making a science fiction movie! And it's an R-rated movie!"

"I'm thinking about R-rated movies. I have to go watch them. If you're a little brat, just go home and sleep with your mom."

"Does China have science fiction? Aren't they just fighting all day long, like Jackie Chan."

"Maybe the Oscar gave him confidence. He is the first director to win this award, hahahaha"

Chen An, who only had one movie released in Hollywood, was not well received, but the publicity effect was indeed achieved.

"Chen, is this really okay?" Naomi, who was lying on Chen An's chest, said worriedly.

Chen An said that there was no problem and turned over without even bothering to answer.

If it was last year, there would definitely be some concerns, but this year, it's just a casual fight. It's not that Chen An is being arrogant.

Even if it is slightly worse than the previous life, it is still the only one in this August's schedule.

The only pity is the R-rated movie restrictions, which may lose some teenage audiences.

On August 17th, Warner arranged a pretty good grand premiere in Hollywood!
Some celebrities were invited to come and support, and Cisco, who was there last time, was also there.

Fang Long also arrived at the scene as scheduled, and as soon as he got out of the car, he caused cheers from the audience and the flashes of the media!
"Chen, is this your invitation?" Jerry asked curiously.

Chen An nodded and said, "I have a collaboration with him in China, which I am filming this time when I go back, and I invited him."

Van Loon is quite famous nowadays. He is not a top-tier star, but he became one thanks to the movie "Rush Hour". By the time his second movie was released, he was already a top-tier star and entered the 20 million box office club.
