Chapter 1059 Xiao Bufan, who is aggrieved
Regardless of the European film market or the American film market, with the early arrangements made by Oriental DreamWorks and the integration of various favorable resources, in terms of film promotion, it is not much inferior to Di Mei Pictures.
In the United States, Imperial Pictures may still have a slight advantage, but in Europe, Imperial Pictures' advantage is not so obvious.
Even, in some countries, it was overpowered by Oriental DreamWorks.
Especially in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, Huaxia has a deep influence. Manager Liang even used the opportunity of the East-West Cultural Exchange Festival to promote "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" to everyone.
Many European media joked that the princes and princesses of the British royal family were loyal fans of Yang Ming. For Oriental DreamWorks, the land of England is their home ground.
However, even if the promotion of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" abroad took the lead and created a lot of momentum for a while, the gap between Eastern and Western cultures is not so easy to eliminate.
For foreign movie fans and audiences, in terms of their inner movie viewing preferences, there is no doubt that Di Mei Pictures' "Pacific Battle" is still ranked ahead of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
But in China, "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" has become the first choice movie for countless movie fans to watch during the summer.
In the past three or four years, Yang Ming has become more and more popular in the Chinese entertainment industry, and his reputation is at its peak.
His talent, his legendary life, his independent personality, and his unique temper have made him the most outstanding superstar of the new generation in the Chinese entertainment industry. Even the popularity of some veteran superstars has long been surpassed by Yang Ming.
China's local film market is Yang Ming's home turf. Even if Xiao Bufan joins forces with Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment, two film giants, to jointly increase the promotion of "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", they still cannot suppress it.
Lower the momentum of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff".
In fact, after "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" was announced, it has completely attracted the attention of countless movie fans in East Asia and has become the most anticipated movie for countless movie fans during the summer vacation.
Moreover, the charm of this movie has radiated to all countries with Chinese culture in East Asia.
Probably because the cast of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is simply too luxurious. Not to mention that the main actors who occupy the majority of the scenes are basically actors and actresses at the level of actors and actresses. They may only have one scene in it, but they are the history of the Three Kingdoms.
The actors who play the characters whose names are passed down through the ages are either well-known figures in the entertainment industry or newcomers who have made their debut but are extremely popular.
The cast of this most expensive Chinese-language blockbuster in history has simply blinded the eyes of countless movie fans.
For ordinary movie fans and viewers, a movie that brings together countless stars, and then coupled with the attraction of special effects shots, the charm produced by this blockbuster is simply unparalleled. Gods will kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas, at least until it is released now.
In terms of publicity, this movie has already occupied the attention and thoughts of countless fans and audiences.
Even if Xiao Bufan used the power behind his family, used various media resources, and with the help of Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment, spent a lot of money to vigorously promote his starring role in "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", he was still ignored by "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff".
》The farther and farther away you get.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Bufan, Victory Pictures, and Zhonghuang Entertainment could only act anxiously, but they had no choice.
The advantages of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" are too great, and the influence of the cast is also terrifying.
No matter how much money Xiao Bufan and the others spent, they couldn't make up the difference.
In addition, because Dimei Pictures was suspected of maliciously poaching Chinese companies and stealing creative ideas, "Pacific Battle" was ordered by the Chinese Ministry of Culture to suspend its release. According to relevant sources, this movie wants to be released in China.
It will take a month at the earliest.
At that time, "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" was almost coming to an end.
An order from the Ministry of Culture of China has made it impossible for Dimei Pictures' film to be released in other countries in East Asia. Who calls the whole of East Asia the back garden of China?
Faced with this result, Dimei Pictures was unable to resist and did not dare to resist. It was because their methods were caught this time. The evidence was irrefutable and irrefutable. Even the American media faced this paper from the Chinese Culture Department.
The ban was obviously targeted, but they did not jump out to complain for Dime Pictures like before.
There is no way, what Di Mei Pictures has done is so clumsy, it has become a laughing stock in the global entertainment industry. Even the American media are embarrassed to mention it, so how can they stand up for them and call out their grievances?
Therefore, in the summer season of the East Asian film market, "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" has only one opponent, and that is the sudden appearance of "Legend of the Snow Fox".
But in the eyes of many people, this movie is not worth mentioning compared with "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
The advantages of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" are really huge.
Just when Xiao Bufan was worried about the unfavorable situation in domestic publicity, another news was reported in the media. When he saw this news, his eyes were dizzy and his confidence suffered a big blow.
"Donghai Cinemas invested 200 million yuan to acquire four cinemas in Luzon and Xinhua. After the integration, Donghai Cinemas has become one of the largest cinema chain companies in East Asia."
In addition to the local film market in China, the film market in East Asia is also the main market for Chinese-language films, and Luzon and Xinhua in East Asia are the back gardens of Chinese-language films in the East Asian film market.
Compared with Japan, North Korea, Annan and other countries, Chinese-language films still need to be accompanied by translated subtitles, but in Luzon and Xinhua, there is no need for translation, and direct copies can be released in both countries.
Now Donghai Cinema Line has suddenly acquired most of the shares of four theater chains in the two countries and integrated them. It has become the largest theater chain company in the two countries and has a very large influence even in East Asia.
And everyone knows that Donghai Cinema is actually Yang Ming's industry. Now, everyone with a discerning eye will know that "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" will have an advantage in arranging films in these two theaters. That is unquestionable.
In fact, not to mention Luzon and Xinhua, even Japan, North Korea, Annan and other countries, Xiao Bufan also feels the influence of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" in the hearts of movie fans in these East Asian countries.
Even if he uses the power of his family to gain support from some media in these countries and increase the publicity of "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", the result will still be to no avail.
In the month before the release of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", it was like a huge hurricane that broke out from China and swept across East Asia. No matter which country it is, it is inevitable that it will be affected by the hurricane.
Especially when Xiao Bufan heard that the Japanese entertainment media regretfully reported that there were no Japanese superstars in this movie with the theme of the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms, which made Japanese movie fans feel disappointed, and he felt even more depressed.
When he personally went to Japan to promote "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox" and saw this news from the Japanese media, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
The neglect from the media is the most unbearable feeling for Xiao Bufan.
You must know that the reason why he entered the entertainment industry is because he is extremely obsessed with the feeling of being worshiped and admired by thousands of people, and then becomes crazy and obsessed. Whenever he stands on the stage, in the spotlight, looking down at the countless pairs of people in the audience, he is obsessed with him.
With his fascinated eyes, his heart is filled with a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
But now, he has come to Japan in person to promote, but the headlines of Japanese entertainment media are news about competitors.
How could Xiao Bufan, who always thought highly of himself, endure this?
"According to relevant sources, Tibetan Xiaocun once recommended himself to the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" to play the role of Cao Cao without any salary, but unfortunately he was declined by Yang Jun. It is quite regrettable, but Mr. Bao Guoan's role as Cao Cao is also very exciting.
Extremely looking forward to it!”
"Although Tibetan Komura is a rare actor in our Japanese entertainment industry, he is still a little inferior to Mr. Bao Guoan."
"Tibetans in Xiaocun have been very fond of the history of the Three Kingdoms of China since they were young, and Cao Cao, a historical figure whose name has been passed down through the ages, is the person whom Tibetans in Xiaocun admire the most!"...
When Xiao Bufan saw the news reports in the Japanese entertainment media, he was so angry that he almost wanted to curse the Tibetans in this small village.
He is no stranger to this well-known actor in the Japanese entertainment industry. He has even met with this Japanese star several times. This Komura Tibetan is not only a movie star-level actor in the Japanese film industry, he is also well-known in the Chinese entertainment industry.
, often plays major roles in Chinese-language films.
But it happened that such an influential Japanese star revealed his disappointment and regret at not being able to get the role of Cao Cao in an interview with reporters, making "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" suddenly become an extremely heated topic in the Japanese media.
.
"Nah, you're just a bitch."
When Xiao Bufan saw the Japanese media's interviews with Tibetans from Xiaocun, he couldn't help but curse.
You said that you, a good Japanese actor, had to lower your status and play the role of Cao Cao without even getting a penny of salary. Isn't this a shame?
The most important thing is that you put your warm face on the cold butt of Oriental DreamWorks. You can't help but not be angry at all. Instead, you sing praises for this movie that ruthlessly rejected his recommendation. Isn't this mean?
Even if you have loved the culture of the Three Kingdoms since you were a child and the person you admire the most is Cao Cao, you wouldn’t be so mean-spirited, right? There are many words from Wucuo Novel Network
Xiao Bufan was so angry with this cheap little Tibetan villager that he wanted to shoot him directly with a machine gun. It was such a shame.
Even if you do something mean, don't do it when he comes to Japan?
Now all the focus of the Japanese entertainment media has suddenly been put on the news that Tibetan Komura was disappointed and failed to be selected for "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms". As for the news that he came to promote "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", although it was also included in the entertainment section,
The news quickly stole the spotlight.
This made Xiao Bufan bearable.
In a fit of anger, he canceled his promotion in Japan and returned to China. North Korea was originally on his itinerary, but when Xiao Bufan revealed on the Internet in North Korea that a celebrity self-recommendation similar to that of Xiaomura Tibetan was declined.
After the news, I decisively gave up the idea of going to North Korea for propaganda.
He didn't want to be upstaged.
Especially when his opponent didn't exert any force and it was just the media's subconscious, Xiao Bufan couldn't stand this kind of gap.
But unexpectedly, when Xiao Bufan returned to China, Chinese entertainment media also began to report news about heavyweight actors from other East Asian countries who wanted to join the cast of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" but were rejected. As soon as this news came out, it immediately became a
The news focus has made countless people in the country talk about it, and the pride deep in their hearts can't be suppressed. At the same time, they are also looking forward to the release of the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
Faced with this situation, Yang Ming did not expect that the news that he refused foreign stars to join the crew of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" would be dug out. He had a serious discussion with Liu Xinsheng, in order to prevent foreign movie fans and audiences from criticizing the company and the film.
A misunderstanding arose and a press conference was immediately held solemnly.
"The Three Kingdoms is one of the most splendid historical cultures in Chinese history. In order to ensure the authenticity of Chinese history and culture, the crew did not consider arranging foreign actors to join the crew after careful consideration at that time. We cannot expand the influence of the film.
And not respecting history!”
"In addition, we are very grateful to actors from other countries for favoring our company's film. We believe that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Movies about Chinese history must be performed by Chinese actors themselves. Yang Ming did not want to be like in his previous life, where in order to expand the publicity influence of the movie, and some inexplicable relationships, he placed foreign actors, especially Japanese actors, in the crew.
Even though today Japan has been castrated by China and has become a member of the Greater China Cultural Zone in East Asia, his inner distaste for Japan will never disappear.
After the press conference of Oriental DreamWorks, although there were some people who deliberately suggested that Oriental DreamWorks has a tendency to discriminate against foreign actors, they were immediately flooded with saliva from countless people. Are you kidding? Of course, the history of the Chinese people must be performed by Chinese actors.
, how could it be possible to choose non-Chinese actors?
This has nothing to do with skin color, ethnicity, or discrimination. This has nothing to do with respect for history.
In this regard, the media in Japan, North Korea and other East Asian countries have also expressed a high degree of recognition and respect for history. No one will object to this reason. You can't make your own country's history nondescript for the sake of the box office market, right? Novel Novel
There are many words on the net
After Xiao Bufan returned to China, although he continued to increase the promotion of "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox", he had to admit in his heart that his movie lagged far behind "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in terms of movie promotion.
Now we can only wait for the movie to be released and then see the market's feedback.
Bai Chongshi has always looked at Xiao Bufan's actions with cold eyes and has not intervened too much. His Zhonghuang Entertainment has been very cooperative in terms of money and efforts, but he himself did not say much in front of the media, unlike He
Like Xing Han, he praised Xiao Bufan's movie in front of the media.
Only Bai Chongshi himself knew that the shadow Yang Ming cast on him was too deep. If it weren't for the great influence of the Xiao family behind Xiao Bufan, he would never stand together with him and compete with that guy's movie.
.
As the release time of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" gets closer and closer, fans and audiences are becoming more and more eager to look forward to this movie.
I can't wait for the movie to be released tomorrow.
However, what makes the media curious is that as the release date gets closer, Yang Ming seems to have disappeared. There is no news at all, and he is not traveling to various cities to promote and support like before.
At this time, a media suddenly discovered a major revelation in their own news. Yang Ming did not promote "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" before its release. That was because he was busy filming a new film.
