One hundred and ten minutes of the preview of "Star Wars" was a disaster for Ye Jin.

During the movie watching, people kept complaining.

"What a mess of filming this, why is Obiwan so easy to die?"

"It's like the science fiction version of Lord of the Rings, and it doesn't seem to be innovative at all."

"The so-called war is a battle between several small spacecraft?! Such a war scene is too funny."

When Ye Jin heard these comments, he couldn't help frowning.

He was originally very confident in the movie "Star Wars". He felt that the reason why Lin Qingxia didn't know how to appreciate it was because she was a girl and was born to dislike this kind of science fiction action movie.

Just like in the past life, Marvel movies were so popular, but there were still many girls who didn't even watch them and didn't expect them at all.

But now, from everyone’s feedback, it’s not just Lin Qingxia who doesn’t know how to appreciate it. None of the dozen staff present praised it for its goodness.

This made Ye Jin very confused.

"Is this movie really badly filmed? It shouldn't be. I think it's better than the original." He wondered. Everyone's evaluation was so bad that he could not help but be disturbed and doubted his judgment.

Moreover, Ye Jin knew in his heart that people usually have inaccurate judgments about themselves.

Many traffic stars have such poor acting skills, but they feel very good, and even think that they are enough to win awards; many online writers write so bad novels, but they still think that they can have one fine work, two gods, and three platinum; many so-called martial arts masters have such bad kung fu, but they still think that they have peerless martial arts skills, stomping their feet to shake the eight wildernesses, and they are invincible in the world...

Therefore, the ancients said it well, those involved are confused, while those onlookers are clear.

"Did I make a similar mistake this time?" Ye Jin couldn't help but wonder.

If this is true, I'm afraid I'm going to have trouble this time.

He invested 16 million dollars in Star Wars himself, and if the box office was not good, he would lose about 10 million dollars.

This does not include the invisible loss of the destruction of the IP of Star Wars. It is a big business of up to $40 billion. If Star Wars' box office is not good, there is no way to talk about it.

"If I had known this, I would have participated in the filming of "Star Wars" for a long time." Ye Jin regretted it.

Perhaps it was his participation that the movie "Star Wars" deviated from its original track.

This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Movies are actually a very meticulous industry, and even a little change may affect the box office.

For example, the movie "Mulan" deleted the two characters Li Xiang and Mu Xulong, which made many old movie fans dissatisfied with it; "007's Top Secret" made Bond a widower, and its box office plummeted; "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" original story appeared in the world, because it happened to catch up with the new coronavirus, so the story was quickly deleted and modified to avoid evoking painful memories of the people and affecting the box office...

And because of his participation, this version of "Star Wars" is quite different from the original version.

For example, the two protagonists, Luke Skywalker and Princess Lea, have become Asians. Although no one complains about this at the moment, perhaps because those people dare not say it explicitly in front of him.

"I'm in trouble now." Ye Jin said nervously.

...

One hour and fifty minutes later, the movie was officially finished.

No one applauded, no one spoke again. The atmosphere in the screening room was solemn, and everyone's expressions were a bit subtle.

Ye Jin felt extremely embarrassed. This was the first time he had no applause since he had been in the shadows.

George Lucas' expression was also very embarrassing, his eyes drooped and his mouth was closed, as if he was being tried.

"Ye, this movie..." After a while, George Anderson finally spoke, "I think we, Warner Pictures, may not be suitable for distribution."

He thought this movie was terrible.

First, the story is very messy. The plot starts very abruptly, and the story elements are too messy. It is obviously a science fiction film, but it produces fantasy characters like Sith Warriors and Jedi, which makes people feel inappropriate.

Second, the movie's pictures are too bad. The special effects are made very realistic, but the more so the picture is, the ugly it looks. Because the special effects are too good, the spacecraft looks ragged and has no aesthetic sense.

It makes people feel that they are not watching a science fiction film, but watching a primitive tribal film. "Cleopatra" filmed in the 1960s was not that bad. If people in the future only wore this kind of clothing, it would be better to destroy it earlier.

Third, the characters in the play speak in a tone, as if they are acting in a drama, and they look quite funny.

Based on the above three points, George Anderson thinks "Star Wars" is a messy and pretentious big movie.

Although Ye Jin has invested in top-notch movies like "Dragon Hard Boy", "Ghost Street" and "Rocky", he obviously misunderstood this time.

Although George Lucas has previously had successful works like "American Style Painting", it is obvious that he has also played it this time.

It seems that both of them are only suitable for filming small-cost movies worth about one million dollars. When they encounter large productions worth tens of millions of dollars, they all show their timidity.

Warner Pictures will not release bad movies like this. Once the box office fails, I am afraid that even the distribution fee will not be able to be made back, and Warner will never take such risks.

"You mean, Warner won't release this movie?" Ye Jin froze his expression when he heard it and asked immediately.

"I don't mean that. This movie is indeed not suitable for us to release, but given that we have worked together happily before, we can consider giving you a chance." George Anderson waved his hand, "If you can advance the release fee, then we, Warner, may be able to consider release."

If Ye Jin paid the distribution fee, Warner Pictures would have no risk. At that time, if the movie loses, it will not affect Warner.

Moreover, Ye Jin is also a producer of three successful works, and no one is sure that he will not produce good works in the future. Therefore, because this work is absolutely mentally retarded. Even if this movie cannot be released in the end, he cannot be in a state of harmony with Ye Jin, so he still has room for each other.

"If I come to advance the issuance fee, then I will ask for 60% of the box office." Ye Jin said immediately when he heard this.

Generally speaking, the producers will get a box office of 40 to 50%, the publishers will get a box office of 5 to 15%, and the theaters will get a box office of 35 to 45%.
