"Well, I like your character. Kevin, just now, my assistant belicha told me a very bad news. The North American box office champion "Star Wars of the century" will be released in the UK in a week. This film was introduced by the monteron film and television company Hoffman said it directly.
"Montron studios? The film and television company that produced the night in Manchester. "Star Wars of the century is very skillful, and it's also the box office champion. It's a good thing that it can be shown in the UK."
Although Kevin's mind is only in his company and articles, he has heard a little about the current movie, and "Star Wars of the century" is so hot that he can't be unaware of the existence of this movie.
"My God, Kevin, this is not a good thing, especially for Wuthering Heights. You know, "Wuthering Heights" will be on in half a month, and "Star Wars of the century" will be premiered in England in a week. The time of the two shows is so close that it is bound to greatly lower our box office. " Hoffman explained.
After hearing this, Kevin realized that the other party was worried that the release of "Star Wars of the century" in Britain would affect the box office of "Wuthering Heights".
The reason why Kevin didn't think that it would affect the box office of Wuthering Heights at the first time was because of his absolute confidence in the film.
Wuthering Heights has been regarded as the "most peculiar novel" in the history of English literature since it was published on the earth. It is a "strange book" with "mystery". The reason is that it is contrary to the sentimentalism in contemporary works. But the deep sadness and melancholy are replaced by the strong love, the violent hatred and the merciless revenge. It is just like a peculiar lyric poem, full of rich imagination and violent emotions between the lines, with a shocking artistic power.
Although it was once regarded as a naive fantasy of young female writers divorced from reality, combined with the fierce class struggle in the region and the social phenomenon in Britain, it was soon highly affirmed by the critics and warmly welcomed by readers. The film and television works adapted from this novel have been going on for a long time.
And every adaptation and release can cause a huge sensation, so that the film industry is shocked. Why should Kevin worry about the box office of such a work?
Yes, now "Star Wars of the century" is really a raging wind in the world, and there is another saying: you can't be a real fan without watching "Star Wars of the century".
However, Kevin has absolute confidence in Wuthering Heights. This classic and great work can cause a sensation in the earth where there are so many literary and film works. Naturally, it will not be worse in this parallel world, and it will not affect the box office because of a star wars of the century.
So, Kevin confidently said: "Dear Mr. Hoffman, what you are worried about is this! Don't worry, "Wuthering Heights" box office won't have too much influence because of any film works. "
However, Hoffman shook his head, and then seemed very unsure: "Kevin, you are a writer, you don't understand the film industry. A popular film will pull away many box office of its peers during its release. Therefore, the general directors will try their best to avoid the particularly popular films before they choose to release them. "
"Dear Mr. Hoffman, of course I know this, and I have experienced such examples. Remember my Jane Eyre? Yes, many people only know the box office miracle created by Jane Eyre, but they don't know everything when Jane Eyre was released. " Kevin said.
"Oh, tell me."
"When it was announced that Jane Eyre was going to be shown in cinemas all over the country, it was also met by the very popular couple clinders. You know, Clintons has a special meaning for the British. So at that time, many people persuaded the director of Jane Eyre to postpone the release. Because their point of view is: "the clinders will lower the box office of Jane Eyre."
"And then?"
"Then director Hudson came to me and consulted me. Of course, as a writer, I can only give advice. But I told guide Hudson that a good and great work is loved at all times. It won't be dimmed for one reason or another. Therefore, there is no need to delay Jane Eyre. I'm glad that director Hudson finally listened to me, and then he had everything about Jane Eyre Kevin explained.
As soon as Hoffman heard it, he remembered everything about Jane Eyre. Yes, the British film industry at that time was laughing at Hudson's stupid decision. But in the end? That's a miracle at the box office! It's considered one of the best emotional movies in Britain!
"Kevin, do you mean wuthering heights can be released as planned, just like Jane Eyre?" Hoffman confirmed.
"Yes, it's my confidence and my advice. I think the story of Wuthering Heights is no worse than any other works, and you have such professional directors and actors. It must be a great and excellent film. Nothing can hide its light. " Kevin's words are always full of confidence.
Kevin's self-confidence is suddenly infected by Hoffman who is on the phone. Hoffman decides to follow Kevin's advice like director Hudson. After all, it was because of the importance of Wuthering Heights that the film and television copyright of Wuthering Heights was signed at a high price? How can we shrink from star wars now?
"Kevin, that's right - a good and great work is loved at all times, and it won't be dimmed for one reason or another. I support you as well as director Hudson Hoffman said.
"Dear Mr. Hoffman, don't worry. I can assure you that Wuthering Heights will be a box office blockbuster, and it will be as popular with fans as Jane Eyre."
"Well! I'll express my opinion after the meeting. May God be on our side this time. I'll go to the information meeting first. Kevin, bye. "
With that, Hoffman hung up and prepared the information.
