Chapter 413: Propaganda (2/5)
"Up to now, the box office of "Super Body" has exceeded one billion in the mainland, $110 million in North America, and $500 million in the world.
By the way, I posted a selfie...
was a big hit at the box office, and Zhang Junsheng's every move attracted the attention of fans.
Immediately there was a bunch of replies: "Come on!"
"Come on Chinese movies!"
Of course, there are also people who have nothing to find fault with: "How much are you going to donate to the Ya'an earthquake?"
"Super Body" garbage, agree to the like!"
……
He was interviewed by a well-known New York Times reporter named Robert Daniel.
This man is a racial man, and he is wary of everything outside of America!
Therefore, the first question made Zhang Junsheng a little difficult to deal with, and he asked: "You have a close relationship with the Chinese government, how can you ensure the purity of burning after reading?"
"Walter?"
"Yes!"
"It's true that I'm the number one shareholder, but I never interfere with the development of the burning!"
"What if the Chinese government asks you to burn and promote China's image after reading it?"
Zhang Junsheng smiled speechlessly, in fact, when many Chinese companies acquire in the United States, the United States will always use national security and other excuses to create an image of Chinese invasion, especially some American media like to exaggerate propaganda and advocate the theory of China's economic threat.
Even Chinese companies buying donkeys in Africa can be threatened...
CNN once published an article entitled "Why China Buys Donkeys All Over the World", the central idea is: China's needs are too great, and these African countries must take good care of them, otherwise their resources will be exhausted.
Buy some donkeys, they are all crooked, you are riding horses and fighting all over the world, why don't you say it?
The tube is so wide!
Regarding this, many netizens ridiculed:
'Because the donkey is a close relative of the horse, and the president of the United States is called Obachi!'
'After Oba Donkey steps down, it is estimated that he will be tied up and sold to Shandong, China...'
Zhang Junsheng smiled: "You underestimated the Chinese government, and even underestimated that you will be burned after reading!"
"Really?"
“… If the United States were an open country, this kind of question should not be asked!"
Robert was stunned for a moment and changed the topic: "In the past few years, Wanda has entered Hollywood in a big way, acquiring AMC, acquiring Legendary Pictures, in contrast, you seem to have stopped acquiring, why?"
“… I'm out of money!"
"Really?"
"Just kidding!"
Sorted out the language: "If it was the first few years, I might consider merging and appointing more content producers, now there is no such idea, the peak, the development of the burning after reading is enough, next, we will improve big data, Tonghua City will invest more money in the development of new technologies, I always believe that technology is the biggest factor to promote productivity!"
"What's new?"
"For example, AR, artificial intelligence, and cloud data!"
"Artificial intelligence?"
"Yes, the 4G era has arrived, I believe that the 5G and 6G era will catch up, and artificial intelligence will change the world!"
……
After that, the question is some clichés, what kind of censorship, will the arrival of Chinese capital change the United States and so on...
Zhang Junsheng did not eat oil and salt, kept calm, and answered very decently.
"What are your thoughts on how the global entertainment industry will evolve in the next five years?"
"The opportunities in the entertainment industry are mainly in developing countries, especially in China. In North America, both the film industry and the sports industry have seen a slowdown in growth over the past few decades. While the average spending is 10 times that of China, there is little room for growth. In contrast, I think for China, the growth has just begun, and the Chinese population is more than four times that of the United States!"
"Different cultures, different audiences, how do you ensure the popularity of Sino-US co-productions?"
“… What we do now is to learn, and I believe that professional things are left to professional people to do, whether it is the top or the burning after reading, there is a professional team!"
Robert Daniel finally asked a question: "It seems that there is no plan to enter China after reading, right?"
“… No, China's streaming business is actually more complex than the United States, and the regulation is very strict!"
"So, you also think that the Chinese government..."
"No, I think that any company that wants to enter China must abide by the relevant systems and regulations, otherwise, you should not go in! Just like me, some time ago, "The Great Wall" was not suitable to be protested by a group of democrats, and then I added a few black characters in the sequel, I am willing to abide by the American system, because I want to continue to develop in the United States!"
Robert Daniel is a little embarrassed...
Anyone with a brain knows that the reason why "The Great Wall" was boycotted was entirely because of the red eyes of those black people.
It's as if Star Wars was also forced to add a black male lead!
Political strive to be complied with in any country!
In the past, information was not equal, and the United States could advocate war and peace, democracy and freedom.
……
Not only the New York Times, Catherine helped arrange several interviews, The Hollywood Reporter, Vanity Fair...
The purpose is simple, to attract the moviegoers!
"Mission Impossible 4" has a very good reputation, and it is hard to imagine that a series that was almost sentenced to death actually set sail again in the hands of Tom Cruise and Brad Bird!
Tom Cruise has encountered a word-of-mouth crisis in recent years, starring in the movies "Dangerous Spy War", "Action Target Hitler", and "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" are not very prosperous in terms of word-of-mouth or box office...
Coupled with the issue of religious beliefs, almost no one is optimistic about the "Mission Impossible" series...
And director Brad Bird, the Pixar Five Tiger Generals, has made countless achievements in animated films, but what, the other Five Tiger Generals, Andrew Stanton, just messed up "Alien Battlefield"...
Even the distributor chose the most secure strategy of screening and public screening, and then the word of mouth exploded!
The IMDb score is as high as 7.6 points, creating a miracle of action movies in recent years, with a Rotten Tomatoes index of 94%, known as the most exciting action movie in 2011...
"Mission Impossible 4" has exploded in word-of-mouth, and the saddest thing is "Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", the audience of these two films overlaps in various ways!
"Super Body" is a little better, focusing on special effects...
But it also received a succession, and the weekday box office fell by $5 million...
Therefore, the main creators frequently see newspapers and various publicity.
The effect is okay, "Super Body" has ushered in a rare contrarian growth of the film in the short term!
Each film has a certain value retention period, and the film theater chain with special effects as the main selling point has a relatively shorter value retention period.
"Super Body" experienced a hot situation in the early stage, and the box office declined seriously after fifteen days of release, but fortunately, at this time, Zhang Junsheng arrived in North America and started the publicity mode...
As of January 15th, the North American box office of "Super Body" was 150 million US dollars, and the mainland also hit a new high at the box office, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.3 billion, but it has fallen to less than 10 million in a single day...
