The Return of the King?"

The Hollywood Times published the news that Wu Jianye had come to Los Angeles, but a big question mark was added after the return of the king.

The news that Wu Jianye landed in North America with a new movie spread far and wide, but if you want to say how many people are optimistic about Wu Jianye's new movie, it is not enough.

Even if the director is Wu Jianye, this movie is also a complete Chinese movie, which makes it difficult to be optimistic, if Wu Jianye directs a Hollywood movie, then it will become a big problem for various film companies.

Even if the film is a drama.

But now a pure Chinese movie, it will be too difficult to succeed.

Now the universal value of Hollywood, that is, this movie will be a movie that is not popular.

They believe in Wu Jianye's ability to make movies, but they don't believe in how popular a Chinese film can be in North America!

Wu Jianye also saw this report at this time, and he was writing all over the book "The World of Chu Xing", and the movie "The World of Chu Xing" would encounter Waterloo at the box office in North America.

It is undeniable that Wu Jianye is a great director, but any film has its own cultural attributes, and the reason why Hollywood films can succeed in the world is because North America has a high degree of inclusiveness and can find a good balance in the global film market.

Please forgive me for saying this, Huaxia films are still more suitable to participate in those film festivals, where is their main battlefield, it is obvious that Wu Jianye chose the wrong direction this time, if he takes this film to participate in the three major European film festivals next year, I believe that with Wu Jianye's directing skills, he may win some awards.

But now that he's bringing a film to the mainstream commercial scene, I think he's in the wrong place.......

This is an excerpt from the Hollywood Times in the entire story.

However, this report also represents the thoughts of most people in Hollywood.

"Many people are not optimistic about this movie now!" Linda sat in Wu Jianye's study at this time, with a somewhat calm expression on her face.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "If you don't like it, you won't watch it, when the two movies "Ghost Love" and "Jurassic Park" were released, wasn't no one optimistic about it?"

Linda remembered the situation when the two movies were released, and smiled slightly, "Ghost Love" is the first movie shot by Wu Jianye in Hollywood, and naturally it will not be favored, and Wu Jianye's opponent at that time in "Jurassic Park" was the famous Spielberg, and everyone was not optimistic.

Thinking of this, Linda asked, "So, you are also very optimistic about the current "The World of Chu Xing"?"

Wu Jianye nodded, but then shook his head again, and said: "I am very optimistic about the income of this movie, but the Hollywood Times is right in one place, that is, it is impossible for this movie to reach the height of the first two movies at the box office in North America!"

Even Wu Jianye is confident, and he understands that it is impossible for a purely Chinese film to stir up trouble in the North American film market, at least at this stage, in fact, even the original "Truman's World" only achieved a box office of $126 million in North America, and it did not even enter the top ten box office lists of Hollywood that year.

And this is only the box office with Jim Carrey's strong box office appeal.

Now this version directed by Wu Jianye, what kind of box office can it achieve in North America, in fact, Wu Jianye's heart is not very bottom.

But one thing is certain, and that is that this movie is definitely making money.

Linda said: "This is understandable, after all, this is a pure Chinese movie, and most of the people who can watch this movie in North America should be your die-hard fans!"

"By the way, so let's get this movie released in independent theaters?" asked Linda.

Johnson's acquisition of North American theaters has not stopped in recent years, and after several years of development, Oceanwide Cinemas has become the largest theater company in the United States.

The Oceanwide Cinema Line was also divided into two this year, divided into mainstream commercial cinema chains and independent film cinema chains.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said categorically: "No, this movie must be released in commercial cinemas!"

"You can't define this movie simply as a feature film or a commercial film, if it is put in a literary film theater, it is basically a characterization of this movie!"

There is actually a clear boundary between commercial films and independent films, if "The World of Chu Xing" is released in independent theaters, then in the end, it will be at most one or two million at the box office.

If such a box office is placed on other domestic film directors, it must be a good box office, but if it is placed on Wu Jianye, it will be a real failure!

"Alright then, I'll get in touch with Johnson, but the release rate of this movie shouldn't be too high in the first place!" Linda argued.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "This is okay, you can watch it." ”

Linda's last question: "What about the premiere of this movie?"

Wu Jianye understood what Linda meant, and said: "The scale of this time doesn't need to be as big as "Jurassic Park", but what needs to be done still has to be done!"

In Hollywood, there is a hierarchy for each movie, and this classification does not mean that the film is rated R-13 or R-10, but that the film will be graded according to the proportion of investment in the film, and there are different publicity strategies accordingly.

The investment in the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is only 10 million yuan, which is less than 2 million US dollars, so it is naturally a film with a small cost investment.

However, who made the director Wu Jianye, so the corresponding publicity level must be improved, but compared with movies like "Jurassic Park", there will definitely be many inferiorities.

Linda nodded, then she was relieved, to be honest, she was really worried that Wu Jianye would let the movie "Chu Xing's World" be promoted at the level of "Jurassic Park", if this is the case, then it will be a very big pressure for Phantom Pictures.

When Linda wanted to leave, Wu Jianye called Gong Yan in.

This time, Gong Bin followed Wu Jianye to Los Angeles, originally to open channels for angel underwear in the European and American markets, and if he could sign a few big-name European and American stars, it would be of great benefit to the promotion of angel underwear.

It's not the first time Linda has seen Gong Bin for the first time, when Wu Jianye was filming "Under the Bridge" in Shanghai, the two met again because of "Alive", and at that time it was this woman who accompanied Wu Jianye to the publishing house.

Unexpectedly, at this time, this woman was already Wu Jianye's woman, and she also had her own brand.

After Wu Jianye briefly introduced the situation, he said: "My personal suggestion is to use the development of Victoria's Secret as a blueprint, sign models from various countries, and hold the secret fashion show of angels regularly every year!"

The Victoria's Secret fashion show has been held in 1990, but the influence of the Victoria's Secret fashion show in the first ten years was limited, and it was not until after 2000 that Victoria's Secret began to truly become the top fashion show of the world's underwear brands!

Now if Gong Bin wants to open up his sales in Europe and the United States, he has to compete with Victoria's Secret for the market.

However, Gong Bin also has advantages that Victoria's Secret does not have, that is, Hera's brokerage and ABC TV network.

As an independent company under Phantom Media, Hera Brokerage also has its own plan, after more than a year of development, Hera Brokerage is no longer limited to the ordinary film and television industry, but in sports, writers and other fields of all-round attack.

Relying on the powerful power of Phantom Media, the development of Hera's brokerage can be said to be very rapid.

Now Hera's agency can also cooperate with Angel Lingerie to carry out its own business in the modeling circle.

After listening to Wu Jianye's introduction, Linda nodded and said, "Then Miss Gong, let's find a time in the next two days, I will ask the general manager of Hera's agent to come out, and let's discuss it together!"

Gong Zhen naturally has no opinion on this.

"No problem, this matter will trouble Linda!"

"You're so kind!"

"By the way, you also have to help Angel Lingerie find top designers in Europe and the United States, with them in charge, you can better improve the style of Angel Lingerie!" Wu Jianye said on the side.

Maybe ordinary people don't know more about the profession of underwear designer, but in places like Europe and the United States, they are very respectful of designers in the clothing industry.

Gong Bin frowned slightly, if everything went according to Wu Jianye's plan, the funds in his hands would definitely not be enough.......

But at this time, Gong Zhen didn't say anything.

Linda agreed to Wu Jianye's request, this kind of thing is not a big problem for Linda at this time, plus Linda thinks that although this business is taken care of by Gong B, she still thinks that this is Wu Jianye's own industry, and the funds involved in the establishment of an underwear brand are not a matter at all for Wu Jianye.

In the end, Linda and Gong agreed on a time to meet and left.

After Linda left, Wu Jianye took out a check with 50 million US dollars in his drawer and handed it to Gong Yin.

"This is the activity fund of Angel Underwear in the United States, if it is not enough by then, you can tell me again!"

Gong Yan looked at Wu Jianye and didn't know what to say.

"Take it, are you still so polite to me?" Wu Jianye smiled.

Gong Bin accepted it.

Although Wu Jianye has arrangements for Wu Qichen's future, there should still be some expressions, which is also an act of appeasement, Gong Zhen's own industry must be left to Wu Qichen in the end, and Wu Jianye, a father, naturally can't be stingy.

Wu Jianye said to Gong Bing: "Since you want to hold an angel's secret fashion show, you can let your models wear wings at that time, of course, not everyone can wear wings, and when the time comes, you will wear wings as a status symbol, and only the top models can wear ......."

Wu Jianye told Gong Bin about the operation process of the Victoria's Secret fashion show in the future, although the Victoria's Secret fashion show was also being held at this time, but the big wings had not yet risen, which was also Gong Bong's opportunity.

.......

At this time, on the streets of Los Angeles, you can already see the huge poster of "The World of Chu Xing", the content of the poster is actually no different from the domestic one, the only difference is that Chinese is replaced by English.

Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin strolled the streets of Los Angeles, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Zhou Huimin's popularity in Xiangjiang makes it impossible for her to be able to shop on the streets as easily as she is now, which is why domestic celebrities like to travel abroad.

The most fundamental reason is that domestic stars, their popularity is limited to domestic, and they will not have too high popularity abroad, or they will not be popular at all, and naturally there will be no onlookers of 10,000 people.

As for Wu Jianye, he has already transformed into a director behind the scenes, even though he is very popular in North America, but after all, he doesn't have much time to appear on camera, so there are not many people who know him, only some old rock fans, or senior fans will recognize Wu Jianye.

Gong Bin and Li Xiuming are both busy with their careers now, Gong Bin is busy discussing the cooperation between the two sides with the general manager of Hera's brokerage, and Li Xiuming's advertising agency has also gradually improved, and there are also various jobs to deal with.

It was Zhou Huimin who really came to relax.

Wu Jianye was also busy and accompanied Zhou Huimin to Los Angeles.

Zhou Huimin took a bag of snacks, just like an ordinary girl, walking happily in front, Wu Jianye was embellished in the back, looking at Zhou Huimin's happy appearance, at this time Wu Jianye also let go of many plans in his heart and decided not to think about anything today.

When it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Huimin hugged Wu Jianye's arm and said, "I'm a little tired!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "There is a café in front, let's go over and take a rest!"

Zhou Huimin nodded with a smile.

After the two came to the café, Wu Jianye touched his pocket, only to find that he had no money in his pocket at all, so he had to let Zhou Huimin go in first, and beckoned Dai Zhen and others who were following behind to protect him to come over, and asked for a few hundred dollars before going in.

But when he entered, he saw a young man standing next to the place where Zhou Huimin was sitting.

Step in and listen.......

"You are Miss Zhou from Xiangjiang, hello, I am Yan Baiyang from Wanwan, I didn't expect to be able to meet Miss Zhou in Los Angeles, Miss Zhou's popularity in Wanwan is not small, do you have any idea to hold a concert in Wanwan, I am ....... Wanwan"

Yan Baiyang was trying to sell himself to Zhou Huimin, but he felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and he glanced back dissatisfiedly and found a man standing behind him.

"What are you doing?" Yan Baiyang said dissatisfiedly.

If you want to say where Wu Jianye is the least popular, then it must be in Wanwan, since he became famous, he has never been to Wanwan, so Yan Baiyang does not know Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Are you picking up girls?"

Yan Baiyang said gentlemanly: "Why are you talking so rudely?"

Wu Jianye looked at Yan Baiyang disappreciatively, and said with a smile: "Boy, pickled girls are not like this, learn to do it!"

After speaking, Wu Jianye stood in front of Zhou Huimin and said a little frivolously: "Beauty!"

Zhou Huimin blinked innocently and looked at Wu Jianye.

Yan Baiyang looked a little dazed from the side.

Wu Jianye directly dragged Zhou Huimin up, and then slowly lowered his head.......
