Chapter 1224 GOX Network(1/2)
Yang Ming took the main members of the "Fast and Furious" crew to promote the film in North Korea and South Korea, which aroused the pursuit of countless enthusiastic fans in both countries. When these news scenes were transmitted back to China, they not only surprised many film company colleagues, but also provided
Yang Ming was shocked by his terrifying appeal abroad.
And it also caused a strong response among local fan groups in China.
When these fans see that there are so many young people abroad who like them crazily worship Yang Ming and pursue everything about Yang Ming, their common idol makes them feel proud in their hearts.
Did you see that this is the idol we worship? Not only does it have strong appeal at home, it is also so charming even abroad.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of the entertainment and cultural industry, the phenomenon of young people chasing stars has become very common.
These young people are often reprimanded and taught by their elders and the media.
Now that Yang Ming is treated like an emperor abroad, these young people can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least the idol they worshiped did not let them down.
All of a sudden, the various forums of Yang Ming's fan groups on the Internet became extremely active, and they enthusiastically discussed the matter of Yang Ming taking the crew to promote abroad this time.
Oriental DreamWorks staff responsible for artist image and fans immediately discovered the anomaly on the Internet, and it was related to the big boss, so they immediately reported it to Sister Zhu.
When Sister Zhu heard the news, she thought for a moment and then called Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was still chatting with Huang Xiaofeng, Xiong Zhuang, Zhao Sheng and others in the bar. Anyway, this floor has been blocked by the hotel, and they were the only ones in the whole bar. It was still early, so the quiet bar became a few of them.
A place for people to chat.
He received a call from Sister Zhu, thought carefully for a moment, and then explained some things to Sister Zhu.
After he hung up the phone, Huang Xiaofeng, who had been listening to the call between Yang Ming and Sister Zhu with a curious expression on her face, and who had been silent, finally spoke: "Looking at your voice, why does it sound like you are trying to push the fans away?
"
Xiong Zhuang and Zhao Sheng also looked at Yang Ming curiously.
After hearing this, Yang Ming looked up at a few people, sorted out his thoughts, and explained: "Don't you notice that more and more tragedies have occurred due to excessive star chasing in recent years?"
Even though most of China's citizens in today's China are highly educated and their quality is among the best in the world, it is still impossible to avoid over-worship of celebrities.
Huang Xiaofeng, Zhao Sheng, and Xiong Zhuang couldn't help but look thoughtful after hearing Yang Ming's words.
In the past few years, they have all seen media reports about tragedies caused by crazy star chasing and the unbelievable behavior of some fans.
Not long ago, there was a report in the entertainment industry about a fan who was so obsessed with an actress that he quit his job, saved tens of thousands of dollars, went to the actress's company, climbed up a telephone pole on the side of the road, and held up a banner saying, "Ask to meet my idol."
So-and-so' has brought a lot of trouble to the actress herself and to the safety of the surrounding public.
Later, after the police gave him a lecture and asked him to leave, the fan found out the actress's address in Yanjing from somewhere, ran to the actress's downstairs and put up a banner, hoping to meet his idol.
All kinds of incredible star-chasing behaviors are breathtaking.
In fact, this is excessive star chasing.
Celebrities naturally hope to have the support of more and more fans, so that their popularity will last long and their works will be popular.
Faced with such a situation, celebrities don't know what to do.
Compared to Huang Xiaofeng, Zhao Sheng, and Xiong Zhuang, Yang Ming still has memories of his previous life. Thinking of the Korean Wave in his previous life and the various things Korean fans did, it makes people feel speechless.
At a certain World Expo held in China in a previous life, nearly 10,000 local Kazakh and Korean fans surrounded the Expo Cultural Center and even caused chaos. Most of the crowd were students in their 20s. They claimed to be the fan team of each star.
There was chaos for a time, but thanks to the armed police force's vigorous efforts to maintain order, no accidents occurred.
What made these Korean and Korean fans flock here like crazy and act like this regardless of reason was precisely because Korean stars appeared at the Expo Cultural Center.
However, after the incident, Korean celebrities did not issue any statement to comfort fans.
In previous lives, discerning people knew that as China became one of the top three economies in the world, in the eyes of all walks of life in South Korea, China was a place to make money, and the entertainment industry was no exception.
There can be no true love.
However, Chinese fans continued to support their idols one after another.
Yang Ming is not against chasing stars, but he must have a certain limit.
It's a pity that various chaos such as Kazakhstan, Korea, and Japan occurred frequently in the past life due to various reasons. It is obviously unreasonable to blame such reasons solely on young people. At least the media, government and parents must attach the blame.
A big part of the responsibility.
In other words, the education system in previous lives is also one of the important factors.
At least, Yang Ming has not seen any outrageous star-chasing things happening frequently in this life.
"As a star, it would be a bit pretentious to say that I don't like people to admire me; but I really don't want my popularity to be based on the support of fans. This is like a castle in the air. Once a big wave comes, it will be very difficult.
It will soon collapse and disappear." Yang Ming said slowly, "And if we keep taking advantage of the fans' enthusiasm, this enthusiasm will eventually disappear one day!"
"In the end, artists must rely on their works to speak for themselves."
Yang Ming said loudly.
Examples of consuming fans' enthusiasm are rare in today's entertainment industry, but they were common in previous lives.
Isn't that the example of "Big Time" with several box-office hits in succession, an example of using the enthusiasm of fans to drive an increase in box office?
This film had a very bad reputation. Although several consecutive films were successful at the box office, they also successfully consumed the enthusiasm of fans. Therefore, after the director was confident enough to make a so-called fantasy blockbuster and released it, the box office results were extremely poor.
Fame is fake, fans will eventually mature.
Once they discover that the idol they support is not worthy of their reputation, stars like this who rely on the support of their fans will fall faster than a meteorite falling.
Later, Yang Ming did not hide anything and told several people that Sister Zhu arranged for him to establish various formal rules and regulations in the fan group to restrict the behavior of the fans.
In this way, it can not only satisfy the desire of fans to have communication channels with idols to a certain extent, but also Yang Ming will show up from time to time to interact with fans, shorten the distance between him and fans, and let all fans realize that in fact, he is Yang Ming
He is just an ordinary person.
Previously, Sister Zhu's arrangements did not involve Japan and South Korea, so this trip to Tokyo was the reason why so many fans came to pick her up at once, causing a huge security risk to the airport.
If it were in China, Yang Ming's fan organization would not do this. Even if there was a pick-up operation, there would not be too many people.
Moreover, once the person in charge of the fan organization deems it necessary, he will contact the company's senior management and organize some activities after consultation. At that time, Yang Ming will go to the scene to interact with all the fans.
Yang Ming's fan club's slogan of "famous all over the world" has only one sentence, and that is: We want to be the most sensible fans in the world.
Yang Ming believes that with the golden finger in his previous life, he will continue to bring classic works to everyone. If everything speaks for itself, there is no need to worry about no one supporting him.
He sincerely does not hope that all kinds of unbelievable star-chasing incidents in his past life will happen in this life, which will not only cause trouble to him, but also greatly affect the fans themselves.
Huang Xiaofen, Zhao Sheng, and Xiong Zhuang benefited a lot from chatting in the bar all night long.
In other words, through what Yang Ming said tonight, they can have a clearer understanding of Oriental DreamWorks' future ambitions and become more confident in facing challenges.
The next day, the promotion of "Fast and Furious" in Japan officially began.
Yang Ming took Huang Xiaofeng, Zhao Sheng, and Xiong Zhuang to attend several previously arranged publicity occasions to promote the film's release.
Through this publicity event, countless people in Japan were able to get in touch at a closer distance with Yang Ming, a young Chinese genius who has been blown to the sky by the media. In a talk show, Yang Ming's wise and free temperament,
It left a deep impression on all Japanese people who saw this program.
In addition to Yang Ming, Huang Xiaofeng, Xiong Zhuang, and Zhao Sheng, their popularity has increased to varying degrees with the exposure of this event.
Compared with Huang Xiaofeng, Zhao Sheng originally had a certain degree of popularity in East Asia, but Xiong Zhuang definitely became an instant hit.
In fact, after that casting, Xiong Zhuang's name was included in the media news reports, but as Yang Ming said, star artists without the support of their works can only be famous for a while, but not for a lifetime.
The media hyped up the news that Xiong Zhuang became the male lead in Yang Ming's new film, but it only lasted a short time and was quickly attracted by other news.
After all, no matter how much hype, Xiong Zhuang is just a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Before this, he had no successful works at all.
Xiong Zhuang has become more and more aware of this as Yang Ming travels around for publicity these days.
However, he believes that as soon as the movie is released, everyone will remember his name, instead of just knowing him through Yang Ming now.
After Yang Ming and his team stayed in Japan for two days, they flew to the United States without stopping to continue the final promotion of "Fast and Furious".
Compared with the East Asian film market which is China’s back garden, the American film market is other people’s territory.
It can be said that in the eyes of American movie fans, except for the director Yang Ming, who has a certain box office appeal, the other actors, no matter how famous they are in East Asia, have nothing to do with them.
the difference.
Los Angeles is still the Datang Global Hotel Chain.
Or it’s called Datang Inn, but according to foreigners’ translation, it’s really called Datang Hotel.
Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks.
After the plane arrived in Los Angeles, Yang Ming and his group first rested for a night at the Datang Hotel. Seeing that they had plenty of time, he took a few of them to the company's branch in Hollywood.
After entering the company, Huang Xiaofeng, Zhao Sheng, and Xiong Zhuang curiously followed several others to visit, while Yang Ming was pulled into the office by Barber.
"Is the news about Gox TV network you said on the phone true or false?"
As soon as he entered the office, Barber asked anxiously, his eyes full of excitement and disbelief.
Yang Ming called him last night and told him that Oriental DreamWorks was very likely to become a shareholder of Gox TV Network, one of the five major TV networks in the United States. If it weren't for the fact that he could meet Yang Ming today, Barber wanted to go to the Datang Hotel immediately to find him.
Yang Ming's heart was filled with excitement.
"Mr. Barber, do you hope this news is true or false?" Yang Ming chuckled and joked. He had rarely seen Barber show such a complex expression of shock and disbelief.
For this old fox who has experienced countless ups and downs in Hollywood and has decades of professional experience, there are too few things that can surprise the other party.
