Chapter 68: The World of "Batman 2" Promotion (Part II)
The movie "Parasite" is Kim Sung-kai's painstaking work, carrying the hope of director Kim Sung-kai all his life.
Although it is a science fiction film, the investment is not small, and it took a total of nearly 100 million US dollars before and after, and it took a year and a half to craft a film that was used to impact the Oscar for Best Picture.
Kim Sung-kai and his company Pictures attach great importance to this movie, and even before "Parasite" was officially completed, various posters and advertisements about "Parasite" began to appear one after another in large and small squares, around subway stations, major media variety shows, etc., and even before "Parasite" was about to be released, the film industry used enough relationships to vacate half of the Seoul Central Stadium for the advertising department of the "Parasite" crew to carry out activities, and major international cinema companies promised that if "Parasite" If the initial box office performance is not bad, I will definitely consider giving them a bigger backdoor......
All of this is an incredible treatment for a movie.
All kinds of propaganda, naturally, the appearance of the protagonist Li Minghao is indispensable, and the popularity of the protagonist Li Minghao is actually in the propaganda plan, although this kind of remarks make Chinese netizens very disgusting, but ......
When the advertising and publicity department of the crew saw that "Parasite" was swiped in major media in China, they opened several bottles of red wine and celebrated fiercely.
The gimmick is enough.
In the early stage, a gimmick was used to pull fans into the theater to watch the movie, and the box office exploded at the premiere......
After the box office explosion of the premiere, wouldn't the agreement with the major theaters be a direct success? The rehearsal rate has gone up, coupled with the quality of the film and the follow-up hype gimmicks, there is still no worry about a wave of phenomenal movies?
Well......
You said that Lu Yuan would respond and would play directly off the line?
It would be better if Lu Yuan could respond, wouldn't it be beautiful?
Isn't the heat more explosive?
In short, the company is fully prepared for all kinds of possibilities.
But......
"The first stop of the world promotion of the movie "Batman 2" will be set in South Korea! The venue will be set at the Seoul Center Stadium ......"
"Well, please look forward to November 10th!"
“......”
After seeing Wei Fatzi's smiling expression in front of the media, the person in charge of the company's "Parasite" fainted.
They did everything they could, but they didn't expect the movie "Batman 2" to suddenly appear.
What I didn't expect was that the remote, which had never been much engaged in propaganda activities, suddenly came a wave of abnormal propaganda activities that made people dumbfounded.
And......
What's the situation?
Seoul Central Stadium?
Isn't this where our "Parasite" comes in?
What do you mean?
And also!
November 10, isn't this the time for the promotion of "Parasite"?
Wait a minute!
Didn't the person in charge of the Seoul Central Stadium say that only half of the space can be rented anyway, and the other half must be empty?
How......
Suddenly sold to "remote" again?
"What does that mean? Are those people sick? How can they deceive us like that!"
"Oh my God, these guys ......"
“......”
In MK Company, director Kim Sung-kai was so angry that his face turned green.
Isn't this deliberately disgusting people?
....................................
"There are really very few promising young people like Mr. Jin who are very persistent in movies, thank you very much Mr. Jin for supporting "Batman 2", ......"
"Haha, where, where, this is not support, I have actually always been a fan of Mr. Lu Yuan, and I am satisfied when I know that Mr. Lu Yuan has been fine recently. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Jin, I will convey your concern to Mr. Lu Yuan. ”
"Then thank you, Mr. Wei, here, I wish Batman 2 a successful start in advance!
"Haha, cheers!"
“......”
No one knew that in the corner of Seoul, Wei Fatzi was chatting and laughing with a young man wearing gold wire glasses.
The staggered planning invisibly adds a bit of friendship.
Some people hate to see each other late!
The two translators also saw the friendship between the two sides, and their laughter was deeper.
This bespectacled young man is named Kim Dae-jong, a very powerful second-generation Kwon in South Korea.
After he got the news that the first stop of "Batman 2" was going to be in South Korea, he took the initiative to contact Wei Fatzi through his relationship without saying a word.
And then......
The other half of the stadium is Batman 2's.
Wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants......
Jin Dazhong and Wei Fatzi drank more and more, and chatted more and more.
He said he didn't think much about the rights of his fathers, and he didn't want to be in the shadow of his fathers.
He wanted to make something of his own.
They talked about dreams, talked about movies, and then, unconsciously, revealed the idea of wanting to make a movie together.
"Mr. Kim, you used to be a director?"
"Yes, haha, I have made a few movies, and the results are good, of course, there is a lack of a good script......" Jin Dazhong subconsciously looked at Wei Fatzi, and his heart began to heat up a little.
"Haha, a good script is really important, by the way, Mr. Kim, "remote" has no branch in South Korea for the time being, if I can, I can apply with Mr. Lu Yuan to see if we have room for cooperation, if so, the market in South Korea is not small, right......" Wei Fatzi subconsciously said this sentence.
"Ahh
"I want to talk to Mr. Lu Yuan, I don't guarantee if I can ...... it"
"Yes, Mr. Wei, I'm really eager to work with "Remote"!"
Under the light, when he heard the translator say Wei Fatzi's words, Jin Dazhong felt that he was about to suffocate.
His heart was trembling with excitement.
He's not a fool!
Naturally, I know that if Lu Yuan has an idea about South Korea, it will definitely be a great opportunity.
Future......
Wrong!
It's now!
Now, the entire entertainment industry feels that "remote" has begun to be overwhelming like a giant beast!
If you can get on this big ship, what can't be done?
"Haha, okay, I'll make a call first!"
"Well, please, Mr. Wei......"
"Okay, by the way, Mr. Kim, I need a quiet place......"
"...... over there"
"Good. ”
Wei Fatzi stood up, as if drunk, and staggered towards another box under Jin Dazhong's gaze.
Wei Fatzi, who originally looked a little dazed, instantly regained his clarity when he walked to another box.
He pulled out his phone.
"Ah Yuan...... I have an idea......"
“......”
"yes, I'm thinking ......"
“......”
Wei Fatzi told Lu Yuan about the form of Korea and all kinds of things that happened.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan suddenly came out with the name of a movie.
And then......
Fat Wei's eyes lit up.
About half an hour later, Wei Fatzi hung up the phone, and his originally clear eyes continued to become confused.
Then, he staggered back to his seat.
"Mr. Kim......"
"Huh?"
"Mr. Lu Yuan is very cautious......"
"Well, he means ......"
"Mr. Lu Yuan hopes to see your ability, the movies you made before are not enough to represent anything......"
"That ......" Jin Dazhong's heart suddenly cooled in half.
"But ......"
"What?"
"It's a literary sci-fi film "Parasite" promoted on the same stage as "Batman 2", right?"
"Yes!"
"Well, Mr. Lu Yuan verbally gave me an outline of a movie script called "Parasite"......"
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean......" Jin Dazhong's heart trembled.
"I'll make the script framework for this film tomorrow, and at the same time, the director of this movie is you and I to co-produce it...... It's the beginning of November, and next year's Oscar is April, so if you cut the line, you should have time......" Wei Fatzi laughed after finishing speaking, "Mr. Jin, are you interested in Oscar?"
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean, we ......?"
"No...... This is what Mr. Lu Yuan meant......" Wei Fatzi paused after finishing speaking, "If our cooperation can be happy and successful this time, then the "remote" Korean branch will also be no problem......"
"Good!"
The night gradually began to get hazy.
In a small dark and deserted bar.
Kim Dae-jong's mood is like a roller coaster, falling from a high place and then rushing into the sky......
This night......
He knew that his fate would most likely be rewritten.
..........................................
On the morning of November 10.
The entire Seoul Central Stadium was already overcrowded, and the outside was crowded with cars, traffic was paralyzed for a while, and even a few helicopters appeared in the sky above the Central Stadium......
The major well-known Korean media are already waiting for the arrival of today's protagonist!
Kim Sung-kai, the director of "Parasite", exhaled deeply after seeing this scene......
It seems that the company has completely invested in this "Parasite"!
Helicopters are all invited?
"You can't lose to Batman 2!"
He clenched his fists.
But......
When he saw the helicopter overhead throw down a huge poster banner of "Batman 2......
His expression began to change.
Half an hour later, when Wei Fatzi entered the scene with the crew of "Batman 2", and announced that a limited edition of 100 "Batman 2" Lu Yuan's exclusive signed posters would be sent from time to time at the event site......
He began to realize that today their Parasite is only a supporting role!
Another half hour passed......
Although there were not many people and reporters at the propaganda scene of "Parasite", there was a sense of lifelessness from beginning to end, even in the emotional part of asking questions, the voices of these reporters asking questions were weak, and they even looked at the other side from time to time, with a completely unprofessional attitude.
And the other side!
Bursts of applause, bursts of crazy screams, the sound has completely surrounded the side of "Parasite"!
Even, when the crew of "Batman 2" announced Lu Yuan's "Thank you Korean friends, Korean friends!"
After the video, many viewers of "Parasite" ran away, and there were a lot of vacant seats at the scene of "Parasite......
Lu Yuan, who had been silent for so long, suddenly posted such a video......
Can everyone not get excited?
Big news!
Most of the reporters have run away!
The leading actor on the stage, Li Minghao, looked at the vacant seats below and was embarrassed for a while......
You thought it was over here?
No!
"After the screening of "Batman 2", we will make a "Parasite", yes, you are right, "Parasite" is not "Parasite"! This is ...... Lu Yuan's script!"
When director Kim Sung-kai heard this sentence......
My lungs are blowing up!
The person in charge of the company was also angry!
What does that mean!
What the hell do you mean by this?
I'm promoting "Parasite" here, do you want a "Parasite"?
Can you play like this?
