Chapter 1080: .North American Premiere

Movies have always been a commodity since it was born, or it's a business.
In fact, if Wang Yifan is willing to help the platform publicize, the effect will definitely be some.
But Wang Yifan did not.
Because it's not necessary, in fact, Wang Yifan didn't know who did Ari's point-of-view strategy.
Although the targeted distribution of movies to specific ethnic Chinese groups does make Dianying’s reputation a lot better.
But this strategy itself is a great mistake, why?
Because, Ari Media’s attitude towards the movie "Infernal Affairs" and their expectations for this movie were not supported by the ethnic Chinese alone.
It can only be said that Ari Media continues to apply the domestic set to the North American market.
Because in China, most of the time, during the screening period, the mode of control and evaluation is basically adopted.
It is difficult for outsiders to know the true reputation of the movie.
But they overlooked that although the Chinese in North America also have many ABCs, they are different from the orthodox North American audience in many ways.
But by the way, they did it anyway.
Therefore, Wang Yifan is really a bit suspicious. Does the person who gave them this idea, or the person who made this publicity strategy, have hatred against them?
As for the media and film critics, this can only be said of Ari.
The movie "Infernal Affairs" is indeed the kind of movie that can be favored by film critics and media people.
Because compared with ordinary audiences, the two groups of media and film critics are not difficult to understand. The first is the media.
Because Ari Media is not stingy in spending money, the media will naturally not give any bad comments after receiving the money.
As for, why did Ari think that the media is particularly optimistic about "Infernal Affairs"?
That's because they are professional.
Maybe I don’t understand it at first glance, but because I want to give it a good comment, I will definitely learn about movie-related things.
In fact, if you can know the theme of "Infernal Affairs", then this movie is undoubtedly a pretty good movie.
Coupled with this movie, the story itself is indeed full of tension, so the media is naturally rare and dedicated.
As for film critics, because of the group of film critics, what they like never represents the market.
"Infernal Affairs" can be said to be in line with the appetites of film critics. First of all, this film is a Chinese film, but this film, the theme of fate, about infernal hell, etc., is scratching the hearts of these people. The itchy place.
Therefore, naturally all kinds of flattery.
Chinese National Theater in Los Angeles.
Ari Media is really good enough.
This time, the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have a very luxurious lineup.
Many Hollywood stars and directors came to join in.
Of course, the price paid is certainly not cheap.
The most exciting is Cao Meng, Chen Dahua, Chen Qingyun and other creative staff who came from China.
Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun are actually better. After all, they are not young anymore, and they have also experienced the golden age of Hong Kong Island. At that time, Hong Kong Island movies were also popular in Hollywood.
In the early years, there were also many Hong Kong Island stars who had mixed in Hollywood.
Cheng Hu is the most successful.
Although the film on Hong Kong Island later declined, Cheng Hu was not as good as every year in Hollywood, and finally had to return to China for development.
But in such a scene, for them, although they agreed to be full of expectations, it was more of an attitude of losing my life and getting my luck.
After all, for the two of them, their age makes it difficult for them to develop the idea of ​​going to Hollywood.
After all, it's long past the age of chasing dreams.
But Cao Meng is different.
Although Cao Meng is also a director from the golden age of Hong Kong Island film.
But back then, Cao Meng was not what could sell movies to Hollywood directors, so he had always been full of yearning for North America and Hollywood.
There is no way, once it can land in North America, then the reputation of international famous guides is far from what it is now.
Moreover, "Infernal Affairs" is indeed Cao Meng's most confident and proud work.
Coupled with this movie, the early publicity gained in North America, and the word-of-mouth show, etc., it all proves that this movie has a high probability of success here.
Once successful, then he Cao Meng can truly complete the transformation and become the truly unique director.
People like Wang Yifan may not be on an equal footing, but they are not as far apart as before.
Yes, in China, Wang Yifan, Yang Long, Ma Qingshan, Chen Hang, these directors, can be said to be recognized as top-notch.
It can be said that the same is the big director, but these people are unique.
Moreover, tonight, "Infernal Affairs" was able to hold its premiere at the Chinese National Theater in Los Angeles. It can be said that this is also a recognition in itself.
You know, the Huaguo Grand Theater is here in Hollywood, but not all movies can be premiered here.
And "Infernal Affairs" did it.
Of course, for now, no one knows Cao Meng here in Hollywood.
In fact, the success of Chinese directors in Hollywood is not without them, but most of them are ABC. The real Chinese directors who have achieved success in North America are very few.
For example, Wang Yifan can be said to be the most successful Chinese director in North America.
No way, a "Crazy Max Fury Road" made Wang Yifan full of popularity.
This movie can be said to be regarded as a cult classic, and the fans of this movie are definitely crazy enough.
The point is, the box office of this movie is pretty good, which makes people enviable and hateful.
And, to be more specific, if Wang Yifan is currently directing a blockbuster film in North America, the compensation will definitely be on the front line.
And Cao Meng, if he came to North America, no one would invite him.
No way, this is reality.
During the period, under the recommendation of Ari's people, I met a lot of Hollywood "big men", but what made Cao Meng extremely depressed and aggrieved.
Although these people are very polite on the surface, in fact, it is Wang Yifan who talks more.
How can this make Cao Meng not angry?
Therefore, he was aggrieved, but he was already looking forward to it. When "Infernal Affairs" conquered the North American market, then at that time, even if it was Wang Yifan, he didn't need to look up anymore.
Just thinking that the script of the movie "Infernal Affairs" is also from Wang Yifan, Cao Meng is somewhat internally injured.
Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's attitude, envied and hated his achievements, but deep down in his heart he had to admit that Wang Yifan was indeed not comparable to him.
No way, this is a wicked evildoer. Since working in the industry, he has never missed a shot. What a thing is this.
For many people, film is a high-risk and high-yield business.
But in Wang Yifan's hands, this high risk has to be a question mark.
Because he has been successful!
