I'm tired. I've been really exhausted physically and mentally this year. I was very unhappy with my parents because of family matters a few days ago. I couldn't say anything, and I was in a very low mood. I even had the urge to be a eunuch. But after three days, I have calmed down. No matter what,

I still have to finish writing, and I have to be worthy of the readers who have always supported me. The book may not be well written, but a person must have a beginning and an end. I estimate that this book will be finished some time after the year. Thank you to the readers who have always supported me, thank you!

Just when Xiao Bufan, Victory Pictures, and Zhonghuang Entertainment held a grand press conference to announce the premiere date of "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", shocking all local media and entertainment circles, Dimei Pictures also

Hollywood uses its huge network of contacts to invite many local media in the United States to grandly announce the release date of a movie.

"Pacific Battle" premieres on July 17th!

The premiere date of Di Mei Pictures' movie is surprisingly the same day as "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox". Even though due to the time difference, the time in the United States is half a day later than that in China, Di Mei decided to arrange for the release of this movie.

Due to the schedule, the information released to the outside world is too obvious.

That is, we are determined to have a collision with Oriental DreamWorks' "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms". It seems that the two movies will not give up until they have a bloody battle in the summer release.

In fact, most of the media in the United States know that Di Mei seems to be competing with Oriental DreamWorks on the schedule of the drama. This is not intentional, but a plan that has been decided long ago.

For a blockbuster with a production cost of over 100 million, Hollywood will make a release plan half a year in advance. Whether it is shooting or promotion, there is a clear schedule.

"The Battle of the Pacific", which has long been publicized by Di Mei Pictures, is the highlight of Di Mei Pictures' film plan this year. How could the outside media not know this?

Before this, both the plot and the cast of the movie have been reported countless times by the media. All the information that should be dug has been dug up. Even the approximate release date of the movie has been speculated by the media.

are quite different.

However, because Oriental DreamWorks attaches great importance to this Chinese-language blockbuster with the theme of ancient Chinese war history, it is even more aggressive and aggressive in publicity. It not only invests heavily in various channels to promote the film, but also through official

channels, making the arrangement of this film a condition for film cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Of course, the U.S. official agreed to this condition not because of the strength of China, but because the two countries' officials had already agreed to cooperate. The Chinese side would also reciprocate the favor and arrange for a movie selected by the U.S. official to be shown in Chinese theaters on a large scale.

Precisely because Oriental DreamWorks spent so much effort to gain the upper hand, the Hollywood media gradually believed that Imperial Pictures was likely to change the premiere date of "Battle in the Pacific".

Anyway, the summer vacation lasts for more than two months, so staggering it by half a month will definitely not be a big problem.

The most important thing is that not long ago, Dimei Pictures and Oriental DreamWorks were at loggerheads over the copyright of a comic book, and Dimei Pictures suffered a big loss as a result. According to some people, Dimei Pictures paid

After paying a very heavy price, Oriental DreamWorks dropped the lawsuit.

The copyright of "Superman" is one of the conditions.

But under such circumstances, Dime Pictures still decided to release it as scheduled and chose to compete with Oriental DreamWorks. As a result, the two blockbusters formed a comet collision situation in the summer season.

Why doesn't this surprise the American media?

You must know that Di Mei Pictures will not have many advantages in terms of the right time, place and people except that the movie theme of Oriental DreamWorks this time is a Chinese movie.

Could it be that the production cost of that movie is said to be 300 million yuan, and with the promotion expenses, it reaches an astonishing 400 million yuan. Even in Hollywood, there has never been such a large sum of money.

The American media no matter why Di Mei Pictures has such confidence to fight with Oriental DreamWorks in the summer, but these issues are not what they care about. Countless media are extremely excited and start reporting on the news announced by Di Mei Pictures.

news.

The two blockbusters were released basically at the same time. This kind of scene of Mars hitting the earth is not a long time in the film industry.

The Hollywood film industry generally tries to avoid this situation when it comes to distribution.

Barbour, who is in the United States and is in charge of Oriental Dream Factory in Hollywood, was shocked when he heard the news. He did not expect that Dimei Pictures, which had suffered a huge loss before, would have the courage to fight like this, and still chose to work with Oriental Dream.

Factory fight scene.

However, if you think about it, Dimei Pictures is a long-established giant in Hollywood. It has been making all the changes in Hollywood for so many years. How could it be possible that it would be afraid of Oriental DreamWorks just because of a small setback.

It's impossible even if you think about it.

Although Barber was surprised by Dimei's decision, he was not panicked or afraid. Deep in his heart, there was even a bit of expectation.

Guiwei was once the general manager of Pan American Entertainment, a Hollywood giant. It is impossible to say that he does not have some ideas in his heart, or that he has many ideas.

Being ruthlessly kicked out of Pan American Entertainment by that guy Collier was undoubtedly a big blow to Barber, who had been with the company for decades.

Later, when he joined Oriental DreamWorks, he was looked down upon by others in Hollywood, thinking that he was too old to make such a ridiculous choice.

Faced with invitations from other Hollywood film companies, although there were no giants, there were many sincere invitations from first-tier film companies. However, this old guy chose a third-tier Hollywood film company whose capital came from China's acquisition.

It can be said that since Barber joined Oriental DreamWorks, he has long remembered the comments from the outside world. There is always a kind of anger in his heart that he wants to vent and tell everyone that they are all wrong.

Obviously, this time is an opportunity, an opportunity to prove his ability and vision.

Even if he had obtained the copyright of "Superman" from Di Mei Pictures with his help before, he could never defeat Di Mei in an upright way and tell everyone that even though he was old, his vision and his

Wisdom never grows old.

After receiving the decision from Di Mei Pictures to release "Battle of the Pacific" on July 17, Barber's actions suddenly became very popular, and he personally participated in various promotional plans for "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff"

Please ask to prevent any mistakes.

All kinds of tidbits about the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", from the cast to the filming scenes, Barber has planned and arranged people to promote it.

"In order to film one of the scenes, Yang Ming used tens of thousands of people to truly create the war scenes from 2000 years ago."

"A set of aristocratic costumes from "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" was auctioned in Paris for a sky-high price of 50,000 euros and was collected by a rich man. This rich man has a deep study of Chinese history. He thinks this costume is beautifully made and has complicated patterns.

Costumes have great collection value and are definitely rare.”

"According to research by well-known historians in the United States, we have to admit that the war that took place in China 2,000 years ago included countless cold weapons, which far surpassed those of the Roman Empire in Europe during the same period. Some cold weapons even had a negative impact on subsequent cold weapon wars.

, has a great influence.”…

Barbour knew very well that for a purely Chinese-language film, and a film with the theme of Chinese historical wars, no matter how high the production cost and the luxurious cast were, there would still be an innate barrier to the American people.

However, Di Mei Pictures' "The Battle of the Pacific" is a familiar piece of history in the hearts of Americans.

One is the past of other people's family, and the other is the history of his own family. No need to ask, Barber knows in this regard, what is the tendency of movie fans and audiences to choose to watch movies?

Therefore, he did not use the promotional ideas of Oriental DreamWorks in Europe to promote Chinese history and culture and drive the film's box office appeal. Instead, he used various other aspects to seduce the curiosity of movie fans and audiences about this Chinese blockbuster.

Heart.

The history of the war between the United States and Japan in the Pacific is a period of history that everyone knows about for the people of the United States. There is nothing worth exploring. Apart from reflecting on the anti-war, what else can be worthwhile?

Went to see it?

Anyway, everyone knows that the United States won the war in the end.

But the Chinese blockbuster "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" is different. In addition to the novel Chinese history, it also contains epic scenes of ancient wars. Whether it is the manpower, material resources, or special effects shots, it is definitely not "The Battle of the Pacific" in this regard.

Comparable.

Suddenly, under Barber's arrangement, Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks came up with various strategies to promote "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", which dazzled both the media and movie fans.

Coupled with Yang Ming's popularity in the United States and the reputation he has accumulated from his past films, countless movie fans are increasingly eager to see what this so-called Chinese blockbuster is like.

Yang Ming learned about Barber's actions in the United States at home, and went to visit several portals in the United States. When he saw the news above, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

""2012", "Transformers", from disaster to science fiction, and now war, this genius from China has never let us down."

"I am a fan of Hua Xia Yang. I admire his unparalleled talent very much. Whether it is music or movies, nothing seems to stump him."

"Oh my god, even now, whenever I think about the scenes in "Transformers", I still feel like screaming. Therefore, I am still very, very interested in the Chinese-language film directed and starred by Hua Xia Yang

.”…

Yang Ming can guarantee that these interviews with movie fans were definitely arranged by Barber.

Although he knows that these interviews must be true, they are too corny, or too one-sided. Barber must have arranged to interview many people, and then found out the interviews belonging to Yang Ming's die-hard fans and published them in the media.

, spare no effort to promote, and rely on these to achieve influence on movie fans and audiences.

Damn, he is indeed an old fox, capable of using such disgusting methods.

To be honest, if it were Yang Ming himself, he would definitely be embarrassed to use this method. After all, the flattery is too obvious and disgusting.

At least on the Chinese side, he will definitely not use these methods to show his personal heroism too much.

However, this does not pose any problems to the United States.

Personal heroism is originally the dream that countless people in the United States yearn for most.

Yang Ming denounced these actions of Barber, but didn't say anything. After all, for Barber, his new film "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is a movie that is completely based on Chinese history.

Although "2012" and "Transformers" were both Chinese-language films before, Yang Ming knew that these two films were actually Chinese-language films, but inside they were the core of the Hollywood commercial blockbuster model.

The success of these two Chinese-language films in the United States was not unexpected by Yang Ming.

After all, Yang Ming knows the origin of these two movies better than anyone else.

Therefore, he now attaches great importance to the final performance of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the American film market. The final box office data will also truly reflect whether and how much potential contemporary Chinese-language films have in the American film market.

By then, the box office performance of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" in the United States will also determine his own layout in the American film market.

It was precisely because of these unknown reasons that Yang Ming didn't say anything more about Barber's actions.

In Hollywood, Dimei decided to compete with Oriental DreamWorks. The same is true in China. Xiao Bufan joined forces with Zhonghuang Entertainment and Victory Pictures to have a head-on collision with "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the summer release. He did not

Anticipating this, the outside media also had their glasses shattered and were shocked by the courage of these three companies.

You must know that Yang Ming's title as director of disaster films not only has a certain influence abroad, but is also deeply ingrained in the hearts of many domestic film companies.

In the past three years, among all the blockbusters in the same schedule as Yang Ming, there is no blockbuster that has not suffered a bloody blow.
