Chapter 1507 Kim Mi-young's Anxiety

The news that Warner Bros. was going to import "The Host" excited everyone in the conference room.

It's important to understand that, unlike MGM, a second-tier film company, Warner Bros. is one of the top three entertainment giants in the world, and its power and influence in Hollywood are much greater.

If there are still concerns about cooperating with MGM, then SG Group has absolutely no reason to refuse Warner Bros.

“But,” Lee Hae-jin questioned from the still-persistent Kim Dong-hyuk faction in the meeting room, “could this news be fake? It seems too unbelievable…”

This time, Kim Mi-young's face turned completely cold, and she narrowed her eyes, saying, "Director Lee, are you doubting the truthfulness of what I said?"

Li Haizhen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "That's not what I meant."

"I'm just curious, Warner Bros. has never imported any Korean films before, so why did they choose 'The Host'?"

This was a question on the minds of many people present, and everyone turned their attention to Kim Mi-young.

Warner Bros. is one of the largest film production and distribution companies in Hollywood. Logically speaking, an industry giant of this size would be very arrogant and would rarely import foreign films for screening.

On stage, President Kim Jae-nam also asked, "Mei-Ying, do you have any contact with Warner Bros.?"

"No." Kim Mi-young shook her head.

How did SG Entertainment and Warner Bros. get together? Everyone was puzzled.

Kim Mi-young continued, "However, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably because of the screenwriter of the movie 'The Host'."

"The screenwriter of this movie is Ye Zhi Qiu. Not long ago, media reported that he had just reached a cooperation agreement with Warner Bros. to co-produce a brand new IP series of movies called Twilight, which is said to be a rare vampire theme."

"Warner Bros. must have highly recognized Ye Zhi Qiu's talent, and they also knew that 'The Host' was written by Ye Zhi Qiu, which is why they were confident in importing it."

After Kim Mi-young's analysis, everyone felt that this was indeed the most likely reason, and they secretly sighed in admiration.

For a screenwriter to wield such power, influencing the decisions of a global film and television giant, with even the SG Group relying on their influence, truly represents the pinnacle of the industry.

How important is the distributor for a foreign film that wants to be released in Hollywood?

First, major distributors like Warner Bros. have long-term and stable partnerships with theater chains around the world. With their strong resources and influence, they can arrange more theaters and screenings.

At the same time, these large distributors have more extensive publicity teams and experience, and their brand effect and trust in the minds of the audience are also higher, which will greatly affect box office revenue.

It's fair to say that if MGM had imported the film and released it in fewer than 100 theaters, The Host would have had a hard time even breaking the $100 million mark at the box office.

However, if Warner Bros. were to handle the production, the chances of it being a box office hit in Hollywood would be much greater, and it's not impossible that it could even break the previous record for the highest-grossing Korean film in Hollywood—$510 million.

This record is even more important than the highest-grossing film in South Korean film history.

One is a domestic honor, and the other is an honor in the American market. For South Korean society, where mainstream culture and values ​​are heavily Westernized, it goes without saying which one is more valuable.

Correspondingly, this has greatly enhanced SG Group's brand awareness and influence.
