Although many Hollywood directors look down on Huaxia movies, they feel that the special effects in Huaxia movies are fifty cents special effects. Huaxia’s so-called blockbusters are all boasted, Huaxia movies...
However, they attach great importance to this market of China.
Huaxia is a big cake for Hollywood. As long as every Hollywood movie can be released in Huaxia, about one-third of the box office scores must come from Huaxia. Therefore, while most Hollywood directors look down on Huaxia movies, they also I'm trying my best to make good use of the title of Hollywood blockbuster in the Chinese movie circle to occupy a hole through various means of publicity!
Hollywood movies are a golden sign.
This golden sign is very easy to use.
Once there was a terrible Hollywood movie titled "Killing Alien" after hanging up with this golden sign, abruptly cooperating with various gimmicks and propaganda, making a fortune in the Chinese film circle.
Even director Jenkins said a word in private very confidently.
"If it wasn't for Lu Yuan's "Wanderer" that suddenly rose, then "Aliens of Killing" could still make a fortune in China. After all, "Aliens of Killing" is indeed not very good to me, but compared to Chinese movies The special effects of... Tsk tsk... In fact, it is fine to call a blockbuster..."
Jenkins's words really sound crazy.
but……
But no one refuted.
When Jenkins said this, Jackson Jr. was also there at the time. He believed it very much and agreed with it.
In his opinion, the Hollywood movie sign is indeed useful. Although China has experienced rapid economic development in recent years, this movie...
Well, I haven't grown much.
Although I don’t know what the future will look like, China’s movies are really unsatisfactory in the past few years. This investment has been completely compressed. Jackson couldn't laugh...
The emergence of Lu Yuan really changed the status quo of the Chinese film industry. Many directors were awakened by Lu Yuan and began to pay attention to the quality of the film itself.
This makes Little Jackson actually a little wary, but the Hollywood movies in August ravaged the Chinese film circle, and the scene of many Chinese movies hitting the street made little Jackson's vigilance a little relaxed.
He feels that even if China Films works hard, it still cannot surpass Hollywood movies. At least, it is impossible for the past two years!
Of course, he did not relax his propaganda on China.
"Arrival" has actually been widely promoted in China, several times he personally came to China, took Hollywood stars to China to interact with major fans, and even held a few special events and meetings.
He originally wanted to rely on these propaganda to make a huge wave of enthusiasm while Lu was far away from China.
but……
He crashed into the huge ship "Symphony of Destiny", and after hitting "Symphony of Destiny", he met Brando's death...
The huge amount of money invested in the promotion of "Arrival" can't even make the splash in China, even the top five of the popularity.
After all, the top five were basically taken over by Lu Yuan.
This is a very sad story.
Then, the doom seems to be just the beginning. Although the popularity of the premiere of "Arrival" in China is not bleak, it is also extremely disappointing. Even when this movie was released, some people had never heard of this movie!
This is a Hollywood movie!
Moreover, "Arrival" is not a bad film like "Killing Alien".
……………………………………
Los Angeles.
In the coffee shop.
"Director Carl... Judging from the premiere data in the morning, the attendance rate of our "Arrival" in China is very unsatisfactory. What's worse is that no matter how we promote it, our company in China can't produce a little Popularity, although the theaters are trying their best to promote cooperation with the publicity, the effect is very poor...Wait, damn! What kind of piano music is this, change it for me, a piano music!
"Sir, this piano piece is Mr. Lu Yuan's most famous "The Wedding in a Dream"..."
"I know! I said, change this piano song! Change another one!"
"what?"
"..."
Carl sat across from Jr. Jackson.
Little Jackson's expression was very calm at first, even if the voice was full of sadness, little Jackson was still calm on the surface.
However, after a piano song sounded in the coffee shop, little Jackson patted the table fiercely in an instant, and his calm expression suddenly began to become a little hideous.
Then, the waiter nodded timidly and asked to change a piano song.
However, when the new piano sounded, little Jackson's whole popularity was going crazy!
"I said, replace it! Didn't you understand?"
"But, sir, we have followed your request..."
"I mean, don't want Lu Yuan's piano music, don't you understand?"
"Ah... well, good..."
When the waiter saw that Jackson was angry like a bull, his face was pale in fright, and then turned and left and changed to another piano piece.
This is a small coffee shop after all, and it was booked by Jackson, so the waiter dare not say anything.
When another piano song of "Autumn Tragedy" sounded, little Jackson's expression was slightly better...
"Are you all right?" Carl silently looked at Jackson's expression.
It was the first time he saw little Jackson have such a gaffe.
"Director Carl, I'm okay... I may be a little sensitive lately." Little Jackson sighed quietly. "I used to think he was nothing. Although it was very strong, it could not affect us, but since I went to China, I realized that What a disgusting thing to be with this guy in an era. His disgust is not only in movies, piano music, and even other aspects... The failure of our "Arrival" promotion is largely due to collision. When he arrived... the popularity of the three films under his company in China is really crazy..."
"Jackson, you called me all of a sudden, maybe it's not about this, right?" Karl asked seriously after hearing what little Jackson said.
"Director Carl, I want to save "Arrival". Of course, your "King Kong" also needs to be saved. Although your "King Kong" premiered well in China, it is actually not as influential as Lu Yuan's three. A movie, and, have you found it? In the United States, we have put in so much effort, and our movie is still as popular as Lu Yuan's movie?"
"How do you want to save?"
"I think……"
"Sorry, I will answer the call."
"it is good."
As Carl was about to listen to little Jackson seriously, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone, and after a few words, his face changed.
"What's the matter?" Little Jackson suddenly asked strangely after seeing Karl's expression.
""Remote" called me..."
"what phone?"
"Wei Wuji, the director of "Batman", wants to talk to me. He has been calling me for the past two days. I think he might want to invite me to join the remote..."
"What! Are you crazy! You are Carl, the great director of Century Corporation. He is a long-distance company, such a company that is not of any scale in Hollywood. How dare to do this... Wait, my phone is here, and I will take it too. Phone..." Little Jackson touched the vibrating cell phone and answered the call.
Carl watched Jackson pick up the phone. At first he smiled, but then his face changed drastically!
then……
"Fart, what qualifications do you "remote" have to cooperate with me!"
"The condition of our movie is not ideal? Fart! Wei Wuji, don't be too proud! Your "Batman" may not be able to beat my "Arrival"!"
"Don't think about it, I think clearly, don't be my fool!"
"You are remote, what qualifications do you have to invite me!"
"Stop dreaming!"
More than ten minutes later.
Little Jackson hung up as if he had seen a ghost.
The whole person even wanted to scold his mother!
The call was from Wei Wuji from the remote side.
He didn't know how his phone number was leaked. In short, Wei Wuji called him to meet him, discuss various cooperations, and even talked to him about the situation of "Arrival" in China, almost like "Arrival". If this movie is not well run in China, it will burp the street.
Anyway...
Little Jackson was very angry.
"Mr. Carl, I will do everything possible to show this arrogant guy!"
"..."
"When did Hollywood movies be so despised by Director Hua Xia? What is he? He really thinks that I really value the box office of Hua Xia, and dare to compare me to the box office of Hollywood? Does he have this qualification? It's a joke! Ask me for dinner …Where is his courage! Just one Lu Yuan, I don’t believe him. Lu Yuan can cover the sky in China, even if it is his world in China, I don’t believe it in Hollywood!" Jackson's face became extremely flushed.
"..."
Little Jackson became more and more angry as he spoke, and he felt insulted.
Moreover, the insult to him turned out to be a director of China that he had never looked down upon before.
Can he not be angry?
Carl looked at Jackson's somewhat grumpy appearance, and fell silent.
Although he doesn't like Andorra's constant slander of Andorra in public, but deep down in his heart, he doesn't seem to dislike this Wei Wuji from China.
He felt that the Chinese director seemed very sincere.
"Director Carl, let’s take a good look at the next publicity. Your "King Kong" is also very dangerous... Maybe he is powerful on China, but on Hollywood, our publicity is still bigger than him. He pressed it!"
"..."
……………………………………
in the afternoon.
"Arrival" screening room.
"See, Sie!"
Lu Yuan, who was far away in China, sneezed several times in a row.
He touched his nose.
Did you catch a cold?
It's not right, I seem to pay attention to my body.
"See, Sie!"
After Lu Yuan sneezed, Fatty Wei, who had just returned from the bathroom, sat down and sneezed several times.
"Ayuan...Some people just toast and don't eat or drink fine wine, saying that he is throwing into the street, but he still doesn't admit it. You see, this is the first day, and there are so many places in the front movie..." Fatty Wei sat After I got down, I adjusted a comfortable sitting posture, and muttered uncomfortably.
In Wei Fatty's eyes, I don't know how this "Arrival" is going on in Hollywood, but it's finished in China.
"Director Wei, did you call Director Jr. Jackson?"
"Yeah, I just talked to him about cooperation. I wanted to meet him for a meal. That guy just looked down on me. Everyone is a director. Who looks down on whom! His movie is in China There is a dead end, did I make a mistake?" Fatty Wei shook his head.
When "Arrival" was played on the screen to the middle part, Fatty Wei yawned.
The plot of the movie is okay, and the special effects are okay, but compared with other movies shown, "Arrival" is really uninteresting.
After all, "Wolverine", "Batman" and "Superman" have good fighting scenes and characters!
"Director Wei..."
"I always feel that calling around like this is like pimping, it seems a bit low-level." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, looking at Fatty Wei and said.
"No, I'm persuading them to abandon the secret, oh, no, the food at noon is wrong, and I have diarrhea..." Not long after sitting down, Fatty Wei took the phone and walked to the bathroom again.
"..." Lu Yuan suddenly trembled at the direction where Fatty Wei was leaving.
He suddenly remembered what Fatty Wei had said before asking little Jackson for dinner...
What about eating in the bathroom?
This smell...
Lu Yuan realized that he suddenly couldn't imagine.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to continue watching "Arrival", his phone vibrated.
He glanced at the phone.
Ok.
It's McWeiss.
He went to the corner and answered the phone.
"Hello? Mike?"
"Lu Yuan, I was interviewed by the media just now. I said that your "Batman" can definitely get 200 million box office in the United States. Don't let me down!"
"???"
