Chapter 345: Bickers' Thoughts
Originally, the people of the Star Flag Country were very forgetful, and no one remembered Peng Yichen's "Shocking Black Gold" released in the Star Flag Country a year ago.
But Sean Penn posted part of the video clip of "Black Gold" in his article.
This made everyone recall the cynicism of the major media about the Chinese director when the film was released in North America at that time.
Except for a small number of young people who feel that Zhou Chaoxian played by Peng Yichen is cool, most people regard this movie as a joke.
At that time, there were also some talk shows that took the movie as a joke.
Behind this, of course, there are the shadows of the seven major Hollywood film companies such as Columbia, and they were all a little hostile to Peng Yichen at that time.
It's just that the Chinese government opened up the restrictions on co-productions, and suddenly so many film companies wanted to cooperate with Peng Yichen.
That's why the premiere of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in North America appeared.
It can be said that Peng Yichen's success in entering the North American film market, in addition to his own efforts and borrowing the classics of the previous life, the biggest reason is the strength of the motherland of China and the rapid development of the film market.
After all, for Hollywood companies, it's all about making money.
If there was no crazy expansion of the Chinese film market, and there was no Peng Yichen's name as a director of the "billion box office", Peng Yichen would be a fart in front of these Hollywood film companies.
At this time, after the reminder of Sean Penn, a "warm-hearted person", everyone suddenly understood that the director of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" was the director of "Shocking Black Gold", which was once regarded as a joke.
And he seems to have brought a "Beautiful Life" with him, which is for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
When the news reached Time Warner's headquarters, President Bickers was very angry, and he had been trying to suppress the box office of Peng's first film in North America.
Even if this movie was sold by him to Legendary Pictures in the end, it was because he thought that the background of this movie was all set in China, the male protagonists were all Chinese, and there were no kung fu and martial arts elements in the movie, and the final box office of the movie would not be successful.
But now, Chen Jing Film Company's willingness to spend $10 million on publicity has exceeded his expectations.
What made him grit his teeth even more was that this "enthusiastic" Sean Penn still self-righteously stepped in.
"What a stupid idiot!" this is the pertinent evaluation of Sean Penn by Mr. President of Time Warna.
Is Pan's bombardment of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" suppressing Peng Yichen? It seems to be so.
At least Sean Penn thought he was attacking Peng.
But in this era of eyeball economy, he, a well-known figure in North America, attacks any unknown person, is just helping this unknown figure become famous.
Originally, although Legendary Pictures had a $10 million publicity fee from Chen Jing Film Company, because the seven major Hollywood film companies were unwilling to let Peng Yichen succeed, they secretly blocked their own media coverage of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons".
I hope that everyone will ignore Peng Yichen and his films.
This strategy allows Legendary Pictures to waste a lot of publicity funds in the publicity process in order to achieve a certain publicity effect.
weakens the fame of the movie "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" and Peng Yichen from the side.
can let Sean Penn, the New York-style-stirring stick, not need Legendary Pictures to spend a dollar, and focus the attention of a large number of audiences in North America on Peng Yichen and "Double Treasure Fighting Demons".
The out-of-fashion actor Sean Penn even publicly announced it in an interview with reporters.
He has already managed to get tickets for the North American premiere of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", and after watching this movie, he will smash a big sugar cane on Peng Yichen on the spot with reasonable evidence, so that this garbage director will be farther away from the North American film market. (He mistook the habit of the midnight audience in Xiangjiang to smash the director with sugar cane as the habit of the whole of China.) )
Sean Penn even posted a PS photo on his Facebook in which the stubborn veteran actor put himself holding a sugar cane next to a photo of Peng Yichen bending down and getting out of the car.
It was as if he was holding a sugar cane and was about to smash Peng Yichen, and Peng Yichen was so frightened that he bent down to dodge.
Of course, Bix, who is in his 50s, can see that this old actor who is in his 50s is just a representative of the New York faction as a pioneer.
It was a contest between New York traditionalism and Hollywood traditionalism.
Although these New York traditionalists hate the Wall Street capital behind them even more, they also don't like Hollywood's commercial film directors.
If Peng Yichen can pass their test, he can only conquer them with the quality of the movie.
Otherwise, they would never agree to allow Hollywood traditionalism to introduce the power of the Chinese film market to confront Wall Street capital in North America.
It is precisely because of this that Bix, as well as other Wall Street capital forces in Hollywood, have never interrupted Sean Penn's "grandstanding".
Because no matter whether Peng Yichen can conquer the old stubborn group of New York faction. If Wall Street intervenes to interrupt this test.
Because if they do, then the New York faction will dare to let the films invested by Wall Street not win any professional awards for three years.
That's the rule of the game, whoever breaks the rules first, will be punished. Even Wall Street, which is calling for rain in the financial markets, can't do whatever it wants in the world of movies.
But what makes Bicks hate the most is that the New York party seems to have no understanding of the film ecology and propaganda ecology of the new century.
Their attack and resistance to Peng Yichen brought Peng Yichen a lot of bad reputation.
But it also attracted many people's attention to "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", which made "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" a movie that many people are looking forward to watching.
The Argentine film "Mysterious Eyes" that Warner is going to promote this time will also be released in May.
just wants to suppress Peng Yichen's "Beautiful Life" and "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in an all-round way from the Oscar awards to the box office.
No one expected that the people from the New York faction would suddenly run out and hit Peng Yichen like crazy, but instead they gave Peng Yichen propaganda.
This disrupted Vicks' entire publicity plan for "The Mysterious Eye".
However, what makes Bix more fortunate is that public opinion is still only circulating among the actors' union and some professional fans.
The mainstream audience in North America still doesn't know much about this "Double Treasure Fighting Demon".
It doesn't pose much of a threat to Warner's "Enigmatic Eyes......
After all, the financiers behind the Big Seven Hollywood control most of the mainstream media in North America.
Even if Legendary Pictures has a large amount of publicity and distribution expenses, "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", which has been coldly treated by the Seven Majors, is still unlikely to be widely exposed before its release.
Bickers smiled coldly in his heart, Peng Yichen still expects to rely on Legendary Pictures and the traditional Hollywood film forces behind it to turn over?
There are no doors!!
