Chapter 1212: The Power of Idol Groups

In the past year, Kirin films have been co-screened throughout Asia.

That is, most countries and regions in Asia where the movie is released at the same time.

It's the same as in North American film.

Don't forget, North America is not just a country in the United States, there is also Canada, but Canada has always been a vassal of the United States.

If you want to achieve a co-screening of a movie in multiple countries and regions, there are actually many problems, first of all, a time zone problem, which stumped many people.

In this world, the span of time zones is very large, and it can keep Britain at night and China at noon.

This will definitely cause the absolute time of the release to be out of sync, and it is impossible for people to be released at 8 o'clock in the evening when they are still at 3 o'clock in the morning.

So you can only set the same date according to your own time zone, and whoever has the time zone that arrives first at that point in time will be released first.

The world premiere of "Titanic" in the previous life was held in Japan, not the United States.

It is impossible for Yin Jun to release all the films of Kirin Films worldwide now, in fact, only Hollywood blockbusters have this qualification.

That's not to say you have a strong distribution network.

No matter how powerful Hollywood is, there are times when the whip is beyond the reach of the whip in many places.

Not to mention the current 80s, when Marvel and the DC universe are rampant all over the world, the Chinese market, isn't it impossible for them to follow their own hearts?

As for poor and backward film markets in Africa and other countries, do you think it is interesting to have a global screening?

Therefore, only those big-budget and well-known movies can get some joint screenings in developed areas.

It's still Hollywood.

Yin Jun's films that are biased towards Asian tastes are impossible to co-screen in the United States and Europe, and he usually gives these distribution rights to Disney and United Arts Pictures to do the distribution.

Although the two film companies are Yin Jun's private enterprises, the distribution fees they collect are not low at all, and in the end, they fall into the account of Kirin Films, which is only 30% of the total box office in Europe and the United States.

In Asia, the average score of Kirin movies is around 45%!

That is, the economy of Asia is not as developed as that of Europe and the United States, otherwise with this piece, Kirin movies can make a lot of money.

Of course, now Kirin movies are also making a lot of money.

The three major overseas markets of Japan, South Korea and Treasure Island have been completely conquered by Kirin Films, and they have always sold high box office.

So this is a prerequisite for simultaneous release, and as for the condition that the time zone is about the same, it is only an additional.

It's the same time zone, your movie is not good, why should others agree to release it at the same time and let you get a share of the box office?

Qilin Movies also relied on a series of movies with a strong reputation and box office explosion, which gradually opened up these markets, forced them to recognize the strength of Qilin Films, and made them agree to release them at the same time, giving Kirin Movies a high box office share.

It was under such circumstances that "Happy Ghost" began to be screened throughout Asia.

In this era, there were still very few teenage girl groups, and the first large-scale teenage girl group in Japan was not established until three years later.

This group is called "Kitten Club", and the person who founded it is a fat man named Akimoto, that is, the producer of AKB48 girls who later became popular and dominated the Japanese pop group music scene for more than ten years.

To put it bluntly, in this era, Xiangjiang films are far ahead of Japanese films, especially commercial films.

Don't look at the fact that they have everyone like Akira Kurosawa, but Akira Kurosawa is just one, and there are many kinds of commercial films in Xiangjiang, and all kinds of high-quality products emerge in an endless stream, and the Japanese film industry is completely unstoppable.

This is true even for Japanese movies, let alone Korean movies that don't even sprout.

Therefore, when such an interesting movie as "Happy Ghost" came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island and other places.

Because Asia is basically a traditional Chinese cultural influence area.

What kind of ghost movie, zombie, Taoism, Buddhism...... Basically, everyone can understand this, and there is no obstacle at all.

"Happy Ghost" is undoubtedly a very good movie, at least in the 80s.

A good movie must have good elements.

The idea of "Happy Ghost" is a warm story of several young men and women helping Zhu Xiucai, and Zhu Xiucai also helping them.

plus ghost movies, funny, beautiful women, handsome guys...... and other elements together, it is naturally eye-catching.

If twenty years later, such a film can be classified on top of another category.

Youth films.

The strong strength of youth films will not be known until the beginning of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

But at that time, youth films sold feelings, not youth.

As for "Little Times", which can be classified as a youth film, it is youthful, and all that can be sold is disgusting.

"Happy Ghost" is the kind of youth film that is serious, so the happy girl group in the previous life has been very popular for a few years.

It's the same now.

Under the strong publicity of Qilin Films, boys and girls from all over the world, like the students in Xiangjiang, flocked into the cinema, and then flocked to influence their friends to let them also watch this good-looking and interesting movie.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the total Asian box office of "Happy Ghost" reached 80 million Hong Kong dollars in the first weekend.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the already recorded album "Next Stop Diva" has also officially started to be released throughout Asia.

Before the start of "Happy Ghost", after gathering five little beauties, Yin Jun already had a plan for a happy young girl group, and then on the one hand, the five of them filmed together, and on the other hand, they would also go to Qilin Records to learn various music knowledge and pronunciation skills.

Of course, such a short time is definitely not enough for them to learn.

But the so-called idol group doesn't need strength, as long as it has good looks, put it on the happy young female group, that is, appearance is justice.

The five of them, no matter which one of them shines out, are all first-class beauties.

In the next five years, if the happy girl group has not been disbanded, there will definitely be no group that can surpass them.

Because they are the essence of Xiangjiang's entertainment for 50 years, few female stars can compare with them.

From Yin Jun's point of view, in terms of appearance alone, Li Jiaxin can't compare to Li Lizhen.

Li Lizhen is too beautiful, if it weren't for her bad luck and not in line with the Xiangjiang movies of that era, if you put her in the mainland TV circle after 2010, she would have to be blown up by her.

Li Lizhen suffered a loss because she was deceived by Wang Jing and let her star in an X-level film, and then she was out of control and couldn't put her clothes back on.

In this life, Yin Jun will not let her suffer this loss again, after Li Lizhen grows up in a few years, there will be a lot of movies and TV series waiting for her.

Such a high-quality beauty and female idol can't be wasted like this.

The topic comes back.

What female idol groups need is youthful and energetic dance, catchy and beautiful singing, the intention does not need to be too deep, Zhang Guorong, Chen Yixun, Zhang Xueyou and other singers are not needed, the easier it is to understand, the better.

It just so happened that Yin Jun knew a lot of girl groups in his previous life, and there were many songs suitable for them.

Today's album is still dominated by 10-12 songs.

As a newcomer's first album, the 12 songs must be a little more sincere.

Yin Jun made three songs by himself, and handed over the rest to Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, and Li Zhiheng to create.

When it comes to the softness of the songs, the songs of Baodao far exceed the three streets of Xiangjiang songs, so there are far more idol singers in Baodao than in Xiangjiang, and it is a lot of benefits for Kirin Records to let the three future music masters try the music creation of the idol school.

As for Yin Jun himself, the three songs prepared for them also have a great background.

The first song, which is also the title song of the album - "Next Stop Queen", is a Cantonese song, and it is also the most representative song of Tins.

Then for the second song, Yin Jun chose SHE's "Not Full of Lovers", and the third song was "A Thousand and One Wishes" by 4 in love.

Both songs are full of little girls' beautiful yearning for love and youth, and they have been popular for a while, which is a very typical pop song.

It is still more than 20 years ago, and this kind of light and bright song is naturally more beautiful and more moving.

No way.

This is the first time that someone has created such a sweet and youthful song for their student group, and they will be fascinated by both men and women as soon as they hear it.

"Next Stop Diva" is the theme song of "Happy Ghost", while "Not Full of Lovers" and "A Thousand and One Wishes" are interludes.

In about 90 minutes, the appearance of these three songs in response to the situation, with the plot inside, can suddenly resonate with the audience.

Especially these students, who have not yet grown up, are really throbbing.

So, as soon as the album was sold, these students who watched "Happy Ghost" began the process of buying the album in groups, just as they lined up to buy tickets to watch "Happy Ghost" a few days ago.

This is also the second time people have seen the power of the students.

Tape recorders and music tapes are a bit more expensive than movie tickets, but that didn't stop the students' enthusiasm in the slightest.

If you have money, you will buy it yourself, and if you don't have enough money, you will buy it together, and everyone will listen happily when you buy it......

Xiangjiang, Treasure Island, Japan, Korea......

In most countries and regions in Asia, the video stores in the streets and alleys are filled with the sweet singing voices of happy young girls, and the records and tapes are sold out so quickly.

The phone calls from video stores and record stores urging shipments almost blew up the distribution department of Kirin Records!
