Chapter 653 Shabby Press Conference
In previous lives, as China's film market grew larger, Hollywood also paid more attention to China's film market.
Therefore, in order to please the mainland audience, Chinese elements were added to the plot and actors.
The scene in "Transformers 4" that travels from Hong Kong to Wulong, China, is really too much to complain about. Moreover, this movie is also the blockbuster with the most Chinese elements, and it has even reached the point where it is unbearable.
.
Although this sequel was a hit at the box office, "Transformers 4" had a poor reputation and received negative reviews from Chinese and American audiences. The American media even analyzed in an article: "A large number of Chinese scenes, Chinese actors, and Chinese elements (or...
refers to the placement of Chinese advertising), which is the reason for the success of this film in China."
At least a third of the scenes in this movie are about "China"!
The film not only stars Chinese actors Li Bingbing, Han Geng, and Zou Shiming, but also has a large number of scenes shot in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hong Kong and other places. I saw familiar Chinese actors in Hollywood blockbusters, using familiar territory.
Chinese communication is another enjoyment besides the cool transformation of Transformers.
In addition, there are many brands familiar to Chinese audiences in "Transformation 4", such as Pangu Grand View, Zhou Hei Ya, Shuhua Milk and other brands, which are also novel to Chinese audiences. Although many viewers will, after watching the movie,
They complained about the implantation method, but no matter whether it was good or bad, it always attracted more viewers to watch the movie.
"Transformers 4" contains a large number of Chinese elements, making the domestic audience's acceptance unprecedentedly high.
In Yang Ming's mind, this Hollywood blockbuster in its previous life could be said to have gone to great lengths to add Chinese elements to please mainland audiences.
The final result is a box office hit and a poor reputation!
Yang Ming doesn't want his "2012" in this world to be like "Transformers 4" in his previous life, just to please the American audience and adding various local elements regardless of logic.
Maybe doing this will achieve satisfactory box office results, but it will probably get a bad reputation.
But you can't make any changes at once, otherwise it might be overkill, but it can't be as exaggerated as in the previous version of "Transformation 4".
There are still some important roles in "2012" that can be played by Hollywood actors.
However, Yang Ming could only confirm it after carefully revising the script.
However, the general direction has been determined. The male and female leads are still Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling, and the background of the script is in China!
There is no room for negotiation.
After hearing Yang Ming's decision, Barber thought for a moment and said nothing more. After all, this young man who had just become his own boss wanted to use this model to open up the Hollywood film market. It has yet to be verified by the market.
, to know the effect.
As for Yang Ming's previous hit in the United States, "One Goal to Fame", Barber doesn't think this is a normal phenomenon.
After the global box office of "Deep Sea" was severely humiliated by Yang Ming's film, he also studied the film seriously.
Although this is a classic sports inspirational movie, if it happened to encounter the World Cup, the box office data of this movie would never reach such high heights.
It's all just coincidence and luck and cannot be generalized.
Yang Ming chatted with Barber for a while, and since there was a press conference in the afternoon, he invited Barber and the company's senior management to the hotel to get closer to everyone.
At the same time, Smith also sent invitations to many large entertainment media in Hollywood, announcing that the company would hold a press conference.
It’s just that there are very few people who respond.
Because Serial Pictures really didn't have a memorable place in Hollywood.
"Chairman, Mr. Barber, there are only 8 media confirmed to attend the company's press conference."
At two and a half o'clock in the afternoon, Smith walked in and said to Yang Ming and Barber with a look of remorse and shame.
No wonder he was so ashamed. The press conference with only 8 media outlets was so shabby that it couldn't even be considered a press conference.
However, this is the status of Serial Film Company in the industry!
"Mr. Barber, it seems that you are going to attend the most deserted press conference in your life." After hearing Smith's report, Yang Ming couldn't help but joke with Barber with a smile.
It seemed that he was not affected by the amount of media coming so shabby at all, and he was still chatting and laughing with Barber there.
Seeing Yang Ming's relaxed look, Smith, who was very self-blame and ashamed, couldn't help but feel relaxed. The nervous mood when he just came in felt much relieved.
Barber saw that Yang Ming still looked calm and composed after hearing the news, and he secretly praised his new boss's fortune, he was definitely a man who could do great things.
"I believe the second press conference will not be so dian!" Barbour also said with a relaxed and confident look.
In this regard, both Barber and Yang Ming are full of confidence.
After all, none of the media at this press conference knew that Barber, the famous Hollywood tycoon and former general manager of Pan American Entertainment, would choose to join a third-tier film company.
I believe that if the outside media learns of this news in advance, they will definitely swarm in and break the company's threshold.
However, after discussion, Yang Ming and Barber decided not to make any advance exposure at this press conference. After all, the company had just been acquired and Barber had just come to the company. Both parties were very unfamiliar. It was better to wait until Barber became familiar with the company.
Let’s talk about it later.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Several reporters came to the Film Company and sat in the temporary press conference area, which was not very large. It was not that empty.
At this time, Smith took the press release and walked to the front microphone. He looked at the reporters in the audience and felt extremely complicated. This was the gap.
For all those Hollywood giants, any big news will be enthusiastically pursued by countless media. Which press conference is not held in a famous and luxurious hotel?
It's not as shabby as Serial Film Company. Just setting up a simple scene in the company can be regarded as a press conference.
However, Smith believes that all this will change after today.
Because the company was acquired.
Before starting, Smith couldn't help but count the reporters on the stage, six!
There were actually two reporters who hadn't come yet, but he didn't think that these reporters were late and stuck in traffic or something. He could even conclude that there were two reporters from entertainment media who must have let their pigeons go, and they would definitely not come again.
Came over.
This is the tragedy of a small company, but Smith was secretly cruel and had already blacklisted the two media reporters who let him go.
Don't expect to get a piece of news from him in the future.
"Everyone, let's get started, no more waiting!" Smith knocked on the microphone and said decisively.
Several reporters in the audience didn't pay attention to what Smith said. They all looked at Smith listlessly. If it weren't for the fact that the task of interviewing large companies had already been done by others, they really had nothing to do, and they couldn't agree to Smith's request.
Come here to attend such a shabby press conference.
Therefore, none of the reporters took Smith's words to heart.
There were even two reporters who were still whispering to each other after Smith spoke, regardless of the quiet order at the scene.
Smith seemed not to notice the two reporters who were still talking to each other, and said directly: "The board of directors of Online Company has reached an agreement to sell all its shares. The company was officially acquired yesterday. The company will be named Oriental DreamWorks as a new company.
name, continues to grow in Hollywood."
The online company was actually acquired?
Several reporters in the audience were a little surprised when they heard the news, but they didn't take it to heart. It was not a big news.
Because in Hollywood, companies go bankrupt or are acquired every day. As for Cable Films being acquired, this is really a normal thing in their eyes.
However, for some reason, the two reporters in the audience always felt that the name "Oriental DreamWorks" sounded so familiar.
Suddenly, a reporter suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but stood up in surprise and asked: "Is it possible that LAN was acquired by a Chinese film company? The same film company that produced "One Shot to Famous"?"
"I think so." Smith admitted without any concealment, nodding his head directly.
——Shua
There were a total of six reporters in the audience. When they heard the confirmation, they couldn't help but look shocked, and they all looked at Smith uniformly.
"One Goal to Fame" was the most popular movie during the World Cup. Even in the football desert of the United States, many people have watched this movie, and as a self-directed and self-acted Yang Ming, many people have watched it.
People who are the focus of the entertainment media.
"Did China's Yang acquire the Online Company?" the reporter asked anxiously.
To be honest, for their reporters, there is no need to report whether Oriental DreamWorks is different from DreamWorks, but it would be different if it were Yang Ming who just swept the box office in the United States.
"Now let's invite Yang from China to answer some of your questions!" Smith said.
When several reporters saw Yang Ming walking in, everyone immediately became highly focused, which was a completely different attitude from the previous insouciance.
Although Yang Ming is not American, his popularity in American Hollywood is no different from that of newcomers who become famous overnight.
But at least it’s better than no news coverage!
In particular, the previous incident involving Barber, who had resigned from Pan American Entertainment, was photographed while eating, caused an uproar and is still fresh in the minds of these reporters!
"Mr. Yang, why did you choose to acquire a Hollywood film company? Does it mean that the focus of your career will shift to the United States in the future?"
"Mr. Yang, what made you acquire the American C-line Film Company?"
"I would like to ask about the news about you and Barber having dinner together not long ago. Can you reveal the topic you and Mr. Barber discussed?"
...
Although there were fewer reporters, they asked more questions. In a short period of time, many questions were asked one after another, especially about the topic of Barber who had a relationship with Yang Ming not long ago. Several reporters present were very concerned about it.
