Chapter 365 "Independence Day" vs. "Godzilla"

The Global Chinese Martial Arts Competition concluded with an unexpected success.

The success of this event has also accumulated rich experience for the next one. Although it is held every two years, sporadic local performances and fighting competitions will still appear occasionally.

After the global martial arts competition, the popularity and influence of Chinese Kung Fu in the world has reached a higher level. It has overwhelmed other martial arts. It has been a long time since Japan, South Korea and Thailand will hold any unrestricted fighting competition.

Very big relationship.

The purpose is naturally to restore some of the reputation and market that have been impacted by Chinese Kung Fu.

Naturally, the best way to restore the reputation and market is to take advantage of the current Chinese Kung Fu. However, Zhang Yi does not believe that the alliance of the martial arts circles of the Three Kingdoms can suppress Chinese Kung Fu.

Nowadays, Chinese Kung Fu is not what it was in the previous life. After Zhang Yi's interference, many lost things have emerged. Moreover, what was originally going to be lost is now developing rapidly.

Zhang Yi wanted to take Zhou Huimin to the mainland, but he had to postpone it until next year. At the end of this year, Zhang Yi has to go to the United States. "Independence Day" is released. This movie is written and invested by Zhang Yi.

It would be bad not to attend, because the role of president in this movie is played by George W. Bush.

Of course, Zhang Yi went to the premiere not just because of George W. Bush. After all, it was him who asked for Zhang Yi, not Zhang Yi who asked for him.

I went there to cheer for "Independence Day" of course.

The production of "Independence Day" was actually completed long ago. It was just chosen to be released during the Christmas period, which would be more effective at the box office. Of course, the main reason was to snipe the monster movie "Godzilla" produced by Columbia Pictures.

!

The conflict between Columbia and Jiying Films is no secret in Hollywood. Moreover, it is also known to everyone that Zhang Yi invested in "Independence Day" to compete with Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla".

Now, the two movies were released on the same day, which naturally caused a lot of discussion.

Which one is better and which one is worse? Who will win or lose? Countless people are looking forward to it.

The affairs between Zhang Yi, the Japanese martial arts world, and the Japanese consortium are like open secrets. The business competition on the surface, and some shady fights secretly, have been reported by the media in a clear and exciting way.

Whether it is commercial and financial competition or secret competition, Zhang Yi seems to have the advantage. In terms of overt commercial competition, Japanese martial arts schools have been impacted by Zhang Yi's martial arts building and have withered terribly. And the products of those consortiums

The market has also been completely impacted by the products of Zhang Yi's industries.

As for the secret fight, let alone that. Many of the leaders of the consortium died, and they invested a lot of bonuses and hired mercenaries. In the end, they were wiped out by Zhang Yi's mercenaries. As for who would take the bonus...

Zhang Yi's assassin has disappeared long ago and does not dare to show his face.

Nowadays, the competition over movies has become fierce. Neither of the two movie companies is a vegetarian. They have no shortage of funds and their publicity efforts are staggering.

The media was in an uproar over these two films. However, most media, especially the American media, were biased towards Zhang Yi's film.

"Godzilla" is obviously a remake of a Japanese monster movie from decades ago. Originally, the Japanese acquisition of Columbia Pictures, which owns the American Statue of Liberty trademark, has stung the American pride. I don't know how many Americans are looking forward to it at this time.

"Godzilla" was beaten by "Independence Day".

To compare again, Zhang Yi previously shot a purely American film, which perfectly interpreted the American spirit. It swept the Oscars and was recognized by almost all Americans.

And now there is a movie written by him, and it has a strong American brand. And even the name is so American.

Although "Independence Day" is not about an independent American film, it is undoubtedly a large-scale production with typical American taste.

Zhang Yi's own box office appeal is unmatched by anyone. He is the screenwriter of this movie, and he is the only one to win the Oscar for Best Screenplay this year. He even won three at the age of 23.

Oscar for Best Screenplay.

Screenwriters like this have extremely high appeal. As for Zhang Yi's own legendary character, the number of fans he has in the world is definitely a huge number.

"Godzilla" has inherent deficiencies, and its failure seems to be a foregone conclusion. But the Japanese don't have much else and have a lot of money these days.

Don't argue about good or bad, just argue about the reputation. Regardless of whether the movie "Godzilla" can make money or not, as the first movie after acquiring Columbia Pictures, it should build its reputation and gain sufficient momentum.

So in terms of promotion intensity, "Godzilla" is more than one level higher than "Independence Day".

"Colombia's publicity can be said to be fatigue bombing. Nowadays, there is probably not a single person in the United States who doesn't know that such a film is about to be released. I have seen the finished film of "Independence Day" and it is indeed good. But if it fails in terms of publicity, it will inevitably be a bit regretful.

"

Balidile picked up Zhang Yi at the airport and said to Zhang Yi in the car on the way to the company.

"They are stupid to throw money at it. We don't have this need. Nowadays, which media mentions "Godzilla" without also mentioning "Independence Day"?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, ""Godzilla"

The investment is over 100 million, and now that they have spent so much money on promotion, I guess it will be difficult for them to recoup the cost. If we can trick them once, we can trick them again. If we don’t want to make a good movie, make "Godzilla"!"

Zhang Yi recalled that after this movie was released, it caused a lot of criticism from monster movie fans.

Neither the reputation nor the box office can compare with "Independence Day". Although both films were released a lot of time, Zhang Yi believes that there is not much difference between the two.

Before the premiere, Zhang Yi also watched the finished film of "Independence Day". Although some actors were changed, there was not much difference in the film. Some scenes were even better than the original version, but of course some were not as good as the original version.

But overall, they are quite similar.

As for "Godzilla", Zhang Yi has naturally not watched it, nor does he plan to watch it, because he really has no interest in that movie.

On December 20, 1990, the two movies "Independence Day" and "Godzilla" were released at the same time. Movie fans are still looking forward to it.

The premieres of the two movies each invited many big names. There is no doubt that many more people went to the premiere of "Independence Day" than to the premiere of "Godzilla."

Moreover, in terms of the number of media, many more people went to "Independence Day" than to "Godzilla".

There is no way, who makes Zhang Yi so attractive to the media? And this may be one of the reasons why Zhang Yi attended the premiere of "Independence Day".

Zhang Yi was naturally the most dazzling center of attention among those attending the premiere. He was not only the focus of celebrities and big names, but also the focus of media interviews.

The person present with Zhang Yi was not Bali Diller, but his soy sauce apprentice Schwarzenegger.

Today, like Zhang Yi, he is wearing a Tang suit, cloth shoes, and a smile. Although he does not have Zhang Yi's elegant temperament, he still has a different temperament.

However, when paired with Zhang Yi, he seemed a bit nondescript.

After walking on the red carpet, he seemed to realize this and immediately regretted it.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang. Will "Independence Day" written by you beat Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla"?" a reporter asked loudly.

"Defeat? These two words will only appear when you meet an opponent. So, I can't answer this question." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Mr. Zhang, do you mean that Colombia's "Godzilla" is not worthy of being your rival for Jiying Film Company's "Independence Day"?" When the reporter heard this, he was immediately excited. This was a breaking point. Although Zhang Yi just didn't

Direct answer. But sharper than direct answer.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just stating a fact." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Explaining a fact, Zhang Yi's meaning is very clear. What he means is that "Godzilla" is not worthy of being the opponent of "Independence Day".

He's not even an opponent, so he can't even talk about "defeating".
