Although Clarence, Arvid, and Johannes felt strange to Li Fan's sudden visit, they did not dare to neglect.
Clarence said: "Okay, Mr. Li Fan please. Well, wait, I will meet him personally."
After speaking, Clarence got up and walked out with the staff.
After a while, Clarence and Li Fan came back together. Clarence first introduced Avid, Johannes and others to Li Fan.
Li Fan greeted Arvid, Johannes and others one by one, and exchanged greetings.
Afterwards, Li Fan said: "Mr. Clarence, gentlemen, you seem to be upset about the Mansfield State Prison. Should it be demolished?"
Clarence said: "Don't hide from Mr. Li Fan, we are indeed arguing about this matter."
Afterwards, Clarence gave Li Fan a general overview of their dispute and the views of both parties in the dispute.
After hearing this, Li Fan was not surprised. Before he came, he had already inquired about the government department's affairs about Mansfield State Prison.
For him, it is not difficult to inquire about these things.
He is also a little grateful that Mansfield State Prison has not been demolished, otherwise, the movie he will release next will inevitably leave some regrets.
Because, this movie in the previous life was shot in Mansfield State Prison.
If shooting in another prison in this world, it would not have any impact on the quality, but for Li Fan, there would be a lack of special feelings.
In the previous life, after the movie was released, the Mansfield State Prison, which was originally planned to be demolished, was preserved because of the success of the movie.
Moreover, it has become a scenic spot for tourists to visit.
In addition, people began to call it "Mansfield State Prison" instead of "Shawshank Prison".
For the Chinese, "Shawshank Prison" is a transliterated name, if translated according to the meaning, it is called "Shark Castle Prison".
Both translations are fine, but the mainstream is called "Shawshank Prison", and the movie is also called "Shawshank's Redemption".
Now, the classics in that classic, even hailed as an unsurpassable classic by many people, will soon be brought to this world by Li Fan.
After listening to Clarence talk about related things, Li Fan smiled and said, "I have a way to resolve the dispute between you."
"Oh?" Clarence, Arvid, Johannes and others heard Li Fan say this, all with a happy expression. They had heard of Li Fan's name for a long time, and they had also heard some legendary stories about Li Fan. Li Fan said there is a way, maybe there is a way, they are looking forward to it.
Clarence said: "Mr. Li Fan, please tell us what you can do."
Li Fan said: "The way is to turn Mansfield State Prison into a tourist attraction, as Mr. Clarence said. And I can help you turn Mansfield State Prison into a tourist attraction. Attractions."
"Oh?" Clarence, Johannes and others who opposed the demolition of the prison were even more happy. Clarence said eagerly: "Mr. Li Fan really has a way? Please also Mr. Li Fan to help us, what can Mr. Li Fan have? If needed, we should go all out."
Even Arvid and others, who insisted on dismantling the prison, looked at Li Fan with anticipation. If Mansfield State Prison could really become a tourist attraction, they would naturally be willing to keep it.
Mansfield State Prison has a history of hundreds of years. If it were to be demolished, they would actually feel a little pity. If it can be turned into a tourist attraction and reserved, of course it is the best.
Originally, Avid and others didn't think anyone had the ability to turn a prison that had been abandoned for many years into a tourist attraction.
But now Li Fan is here, thinking about the legendary stories about Li Fan that are rumored, Arvid and others suddenly discovered that there may indeed be someone in this world who has that ability, and that person is Li Fan in front of them.
Li Fan smiled and said: "Presumably some of you don't know what happened at yesterday's Hollywood film exchange meeting."
"Hollywood Film Exchange?" Clarence, Arvid, Johannes and others looked at each other. Yesterday there was a movie exchange event in Hollywood. They naturally knew about this.
It's just that they really didn't know exactly what happened at the exchange meeting.
Also, how does what happened at the exchange meeting have anything to do with the method Li Fan said?
Clarence, Arvid, Johannes, and others were a little confused. Clarence said: "We are dissatisfied with Mr. Li Fan. We know that there is such an exchange meeting, but what happened in the exchange meeting is really not so good. clear."
Li Fan nodded. This is not surprising. Although yesterday's events have been raging on the Internet in various countries, there are still many people who do not know for various reasons.
Afterwards, Li Fan said: "Mr. Clarence and gentlemen, might as well go and get a general idea. This is very easy and it doesn't take too long. After understanding, everyone will know what I said and also know that I am here. The reason for the visit."
Rather than explain, it's better to let a few people understand for themselves.
Clarence, Arvid, Johannes and others nodded. Since Li Fan said so, they just need to find out. It's also convenient anyway, and they planned to learn about it.
...
A few minutes later, Clarence, Arvid, Johannes and others have already learned the general situation on the Internet.
The situation surprised them and understood the purpose of Li Fan's visit this time.
As for the method Li Fan said, they can also think of it, but how does it feel that it is not very reliable?
The way Li Fan said should be that after the movie he shot at Mansfield State Prison is released, Mansfield State Prison will be famous for his movies, and many people will come here, and Mansfield State Prison will naturally become A tourist attraction.
But this is not reliable!
First of all, Clarence, Arvid, Johannes, and others do not think that there is any market for films with the theme of "prison".
Secondly, almost all people on the Internet are watching bad news, and it is not the average bad news. Almost all people are saying that they will definitely not be interested in watching a movie about "prison". .
So, the final box office performance of this movie can be predicted to be very bleak.
How can Mansfield State Penitentiary be famous because of such dismal results?
Not reliable!
