Chapter 1227 Exposure of the Film and Television City Plan(1/2)
Yang Ming led the crew to promote the film in the United States. After careful planning, it quickly attracted the attention of countless movie fans.
"The Fast and the Furious" has never escaped the attention of the American public due to Oriental DreamWorks' crazy spending. Now that Yang Ming and the crew have launched such an aggressive promotion, it has suddenly aroused the expectations of many movie fans.
In addition, Yang Ming's success in several films has already established his reputation in the minds of American movie fans, so the Chinese film "Fast and Furious" is still very much anticipated by American movie fans.
If it were another Chinese-speaking director, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.
Nowadays, various movie promotions have begun, gradually eliminating the advantage of "Speed Drift" as a local Hollywood blockbuster.
In addition, the cast of "The Fast and the Furious" also includes Bruce, who has a certain box office appeal to American movie fans. Barber also relied on his many years of connections to get many well-known actors and directors in Hollywood to support this film.
Although Yang Ming and the crew traveled around the United States to promote the film, the natural cultural gap between the two countries was not immediately eliminated.
It has not changed the suspicion of Chinese-language films in the minds of most movie fans, but "The Fast and the Furious" has quietly become a highly anticipated summer blockbuster for countless movie fans in the United States.
Even if Pan American Entertainment and CAA followed Oriental DreamWorks' lead and increased the scale of movie promotion, it was already too late.
Traditional movie promotion may be better. Whether it is Pan American Entertainment or CAA, relying on their own influence and spending a little more money, they can always keep up with the rhythm of Oriental DreamWorks.
But when it comes to online publicity and joint marketing with sponsor companies, Pan American Entertainment and CAA can't even keep up.
Time is too tight.
The next day, Yang Ming took the crew to stay in the United States for a week, and then quickly flew to Europe, which was the last stop for film promotion.
Although they have left the United States, the debate left in Hollywood has just begun.
However, the one that suffered the most was Victory Pictures' "Racing".
This film is the same as "The Fast and the Furious". Although they are both Chinese-language blockbusters, they are treated differently in the American market.
That’s not to say that Victory Pictures hasn’t spent money on publicity in the United States.
In fact, as the distributor of this film in the United States, Dime Pictures has done its best.
Whether it's the film's schedule or promotion arrangements, they are basically treated the same as their own films.
No matter how hard "Racing" was played, it failed to leave a deep impression on the hearts of local American movie fans. According to authoritative media surveys, American movie fans didn't have much interest in this movie.
In this regard, Dimei Pictures and Victory Pictures were also speechless.
Victory Pictures, which originally wanted to continue spending money on publicity, gave up the idea and focused its battlefield on East Asia.
Compared with the United States, in East Asia, "Racing" is highly praised by countless movie fans due to its all-star cast.
Three blockbusters of the same type, three different market reactions.
The situation is extremely complex.
Neither China nor American Hollywood can guarantee which film will have the last laugh.
Each has its own advantages and each has its own shortcomings.
Just when Yang Ming and the others had just arrived in the UK, news came out in China that shocked everyone in the industry.
Oriental DreamWorks has reached an investment agreement with the local government of Xin County, Fujian Province. Oriental DreamWorks will invest heavily in building the largest film and television base at home and abroad in Xin County.
This film and television base has an initial investment of 30 billion Chinese yuan, and will continue to invest another 20 billion Chinese yuan to improve the base facilities. The total investment will exceed 50 billion Chinese yuan.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of China.
When the local entertainment circle heard the news, they were all stunned and in disbelief.
Oriental DreamWorks, oh, no, maybe this Yang Ming is too rich, even richer than the rich!
Until this time, everyone in the entertainment industry will remember Yang Ming's other identity. His entrepreneurial history of starting from scratch is highly sought after in the business world.
But even if you are so rich, you can't be so willful, right?
Film and television base?
The entertainment industry is no stranger to film and television cities. They go to several places for filming every year, including many film and television cities.
But this thing seems to be basically operating at a loss now. Even if it is profitable, it is not enough for people to invest 50 billion in it at once, right?
With 50 billion, what can’t be done?
And the return rate is much higher than building a film and television city.
Not only everyone in the entertainment industry finds this unbelievable, but celebrities in other industries are also extremely shocked.
They really didn't expect that Yang Ming would be so dedicated to the film industry.
Historical changes have caused earth-shaking changes in many things.
Because we did not experience the chaos of the late Qing Dynasty, the civil war between the Communist Party and the Anti-Japanese War for nearly half a century like previous lives, the cultural heritage of China in this world has been preserved quite well. Many ancient buildings that were destroyed by war in previous lives are still intact in this world.
In perfect condition.
Therefore, compared with previous film and television productions, in order to pursue perfection, we had to build outdoor scenes, but this is rarely necessary in this world.
All kinds of ancient outside world needed in film and television production can be found in this world.
Various modern and historical buildings are well protected, but for ancient buildings with historical significance like this, you must be extra careful during the shooting process to prevent any accidents from happening.
But no matter how hard we take precautions, accidents will always happen.
Because of this, as the film and television industry develops faster and faster, there are more and more disputes between various film and television crews and the protection of cultural industries.
Domestic film and television cities, large and small, have become the first choice for many film and television crews.
Even so, it still cannot change the difficult nature of operating a film and television base.
This is 50 billion, not 5 million, 50 million, or 500 million.
If so much money was spent on big-budget productions, every film company would probably wake up from their dreams and laugh.
Yang Ming is like a local tycoon. He spent an astronomical price of 50 billion yuan to build a film and television city, which caused huge repercussions in the film and television circles and was also controversial.
Many people think that this young man is too impulsive and want to see his jokes!
However, when Oriental DreamWorks and the local government of Xin County announced the construction plan for this film and television city, it once again caused huge waves. Everyone was frightened by Yang Ming's ambition.
Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, palace buildings of the five major dynasties!
These dynasty palace buildings will strictly follow historical records and restore the heyday of the Central Plains dynasties.
In the blueprint for the construction of the film and television city, you can't help but be deeply attracted and excited by the grand plan of this film and television city.
Surging.
That’s not all.
In the Song Dynasty Cultural Zone of the Film and Television City, the Qingming Riverside Scene will be reproduced, which has made countless Chinese people remember and yearn for it.
"Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is one of China's top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. The picture of the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty in its prosperous times shown in the painting is impressive and has been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese history.
Now Oriental DreamWorks actually wants to reproduce this scene of the prosperous times in the film and television city, which is enough to shock the whole of China.
Big deal!
In particular, many celebrities in the cultural circle applauded and supported Yang Ming's approach.
No wonder it costs 50 billion yuan.
No wonder it's such a big deal.
Just recreating the Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival is enough to move countless people. This money is well spent.
That's not all.
In addition to the palace buildings of past dynasties, there are also various cultural scenic spots, all with certain Chinese historical characteristics.
It can be said that the entire film and television city construction plan covers thousands of years of Chinese history, from ancient times to the present, and includes everything.
Moreover, all buildings or streets with certain characteristics and historical significance in various parts of China have been condensed into the construction plan of the film and television city.
The Jiangnan water town, the Magic City and Guangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty, the two most representative urban scenes of the cultural conflict between East and West, will be truly reproduced in the film and television city base one by one, telling the story of that unforgettable period.
history.
When the blueprint of the Oriental Film and Television City was slowly unfolded and presented to the world, everyone was moved by it.
Over the past five thousand years of China, many unique historical and cultural buildings will be concentrated in this film and television city. After watching it, people will feel trembling. This plan is so majestic.
After looking at the construction blueprint of the film and television city, everyone suddenly realized that when the film and television city is completed, it may no longer be appropriate to call it a film and television city.
This is completely a small city.
Yang Ming's Oriental Film and Television City base plan was publicized by the media and passed through everyone's hearts like a hurricane. Countless people were severely shocked by this ambitious film and television base construction plan.
When the Xinxian County Government and Oriental DreamWorks held a press conference, the news immediately became the front page of most domestic media, completely dominating everyone's attention and becoming the focus of countless media reports.
Victory Pictures spent a lot of money to promote the influence of "Crazy Racing" in various media. At this moment, it is like a piece of tissue paper. It cannot withstand the impact of the exposure of the blueprint of the studio base. It will be destroyed with just a light touch.
, never seen again.
Even if Victory Pictures is a local giant, let alone Pan American Entertainment’s movie promotion in China.
It has always been relegated to the bottom, and now except for a few media outlets, there is no information at all about Pan American Entertainment's new film "Speed Drift".
Even Oriental DreamWorks' own film "Fast and Furious" has been greatly affected.
However, because of Yang Ming's relationship, this impact was minimized.
To be continued...
