Chapter 1059: The aggrieved Xiao Bufan
Whether it is the European film market or the film market in the United States, under the early arrangement of Oriental DreamWorks, it has integrated various favorable resources, and in terms of film promotion, it is not much inferior to Dimei Pictures.
In the United States, Dimei Pictures may still have a little advantage, but in Europe, Dimei Pictures' advantage is not so obvious.
Even, in some countries, it was crushed by Oriental DreamWorks.
Especially in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, Huaxia has a deep influence, and Manager Liang took advantage of the opportunity of the East-West Cultural Exchange Festival to publicize "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
Many European media jokingly said that the princes and princesses of the British royal family are loyal fans of Yang Ming, and for Oriental DreamWorks, the land of England is their home turf.
However, the publicity of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" abroad, even if it took the lead, created a great momentum for a while, but the gap between Eastern and Western cultures is not so easy to eliminate.
Foreign fans and audiences, in terms of their inner viewing choice tendency, there is no doubt that Dimei Pictures' "Pacific Decisive Battle" is still in front of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
But in China, "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" has become the first choice for countless fans to watch movies in the summer file, and there is no one.
In the past three or four years, Yang Ming's popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry has become more and more popular, and his reputation is also booming.
His talent, his legendary life, his independent personality, and his unique temper have made him the most outstanding superstar of the new generation in the Chinese entertainment industry, even if the popularity of some old superstars has long been surpassed by Yang Ming.
The local film market in China is Yang Ming's home turf, even if Xiao Bufan unites the two film giants of Shengli Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment to start increasing the publicity of "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai", it still can't suppress the momentum of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, after the announcement of the launch of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", it has completely attracted the attention of countless fans in East Asia and has become the movie that countless fans are most looking forward to during the summer vacation.
Moreover, the charm of this movie radiates to all countries in East Asia, the entire Greater Chinese culture.
Because the cast of this "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is simply too luxurious, not to mention that the main actors who occupy the majority of the scenes are basically the lineup of actors and actresses, that is, those who may have only one shot in it, but are the actors of famous characters in the history of the Three Kingdoms, who are not well-known names in the entertainment industry, or newcomers who have debuted but have extremely high popularity.
The cast of the most expensive blockbuster film ever produced in Chinese language has simply blinded the eyes of countless fans.
For ordinary fans and audiences, a film that brings together countless stars, and then coupled with the attraction of special effects shots, the charm generated by this blockbuster is simply incomparable, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, at least in the publicity before the release now, this movie has occupied the attention and minds of countless fans and audiences.
Even if Xiao Bufan used various media resources through the power behind his family, with the help of Shengli Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment, he spent a lot of money to vigorously promote the "Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai" starring him, but he was still thrown farther and farther away by "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
Faced with this situation, Xiao Bufan, Shengli Pictures, and Zhonghuang Entertainment could only be anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
The advantages of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" are too great, and the influence of the cast is terrifying.
No matter how much money Xiao Bufan spends on them, they can't make up for the gap.
In addition, because of the case of Dimei Pictures suspected of maliciously poaching Chinese enterprises and stealing ideas, "Pacific Decisive Battle" was ordered to suspend the release by the Ministry of Culture of China, according to relevant sources, if this film wants to be released in China, it will be a month later at the earliest.
At that time, "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" was almost at the end of the painting.
An order from the Ministry of Culture of China made the film of Dimei Pictures also unable to be released in other countries in East Asia.
In the face of this result, Dimei Pictures is powerless to resist, and they dare not resist, it is really because their methods have been arrested this time, and the evidence is ironclad and irrefutable.
There's no way, this matter is too clumsy for Dimei Pictures, and it has become a laughing stock in the global entertainment industry, and even the media in the United States are embarrassed to mention it, how can they come forward to cry out for them?
Therefore, in the summer file of the East Asian film market, there is only one opponent of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", that is, "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai" suddenly appeared.
But in the eyes of many people, this movie is not worth mentioning at all compared with "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms".
The advantages of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" are too great.
Just when Xiao Bufan was anxious about the unfavorable situation of domestic publicity, another news was reported in the media, and when he saw the news, his eyes were dizzy, and his confidence suffered a great blow.
"Donghai Cinema Line invested 200 million yuan to acquire four cinema chains in Luzon and Xinhua, and after integration, Donghai Cinema Line has become one of the largest cinema companies in East Asia. ”
In addition to the local Chinese film market, the East Asian film market is also the main market for Chinese films, and East Asian Luzon and Xinhua are the backyards of Chinese films in the backyard of the East Asian film market.
Compared with Japan, North Korea, Annam and other countries where Chinese-language films still need to be accompanied by translated subtitles, while in Luzon and Xinhua without translation, direct copies can be released in both countries.
Now, Donghai Cinema Line has suddenly acquired most of the shares of the four cinema chains in the two countries, integrated them, and has become the largest cinema company in the two countries, even in East Asia, it also has a very large influence.
And everyone knows that the Donghai Cinema Line is actually Yang Ming's industry, and now, discerning people know that when the time comes, the advantages of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the theater schedule in these two countries are beyond doubt.
In fact, not to mention Luzon and Xinhua, even Japan, North Korea, Annam and other countries, Xiao Bufan also feels the influence of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the hearts of fans in these East Asian countries.
Even if he used the power of his family to obtain the support of some media in these countries and increase the publicity of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liao Zhai", the result was still to no avail.
In the month before the release of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms", it was like a huge hurricane, erupting from China and sweeping across East Asia, no matter which country is under the influence of the hurricane, it is inevitable.
Especially when Xiao Bufan heard that the Japanese entertainment media regretted that there were no Japanese superstars in this movie with the theme of the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms, Japanese fans were disappointed, and his heart was even more depressed.
When he personally went to Japan to promote "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai", he almost didn't vomit a mouthful of blood when he saw the news from the Japanese media.
From the neglect of the media, this is the feeling that Xiao Bufan can't bear the most.
You must know that the reason why he stepped into the entertainment industry is because he is extremely obsessed with the feeling of being admired and admired by thousands of people, and then crazy obsession, whenever he is standing on the stage, in the focus, looking down at the countless pairs of eyes that are fascinated by him in the audience, his heart is full of satisfaction with achievement.
But now, he has come to Japan himself to promote, and the headlines of the Japanese entertainment media are news about competitors.
This makes Xiao Bufan, who has always regarded himself very highly, how can he bear it.
"According to relevant sources, Tibetans in the small village once recommended themselves to the crew of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms", and they did not need any salary to play the role of Cao Cao, but unfortunately they were rejected by Yang Jun, which is quite regrettable, but Mr. Bao Guoan playing Cao Cao is also very exciting!"
"Although the Tibetan from the small village is a rare actor in our Japanese entertainment industry, he is still a little worse than Mr. Bao Guoan. ”
"Tibetans in the small village have been very fond of the history of the Three Kingdoms of China since childhood, and Cao Cao, a historical figure who has been passed down through the ages, is the person most admired by the Tibetans in the small village!" ......
When Xiao Bufan saw the news reports in the Japanese entertainment media, he hated it so much that he almost wanted to scold the Tibetans in this small village.
He is no stranger to this well-known actor in the Japanese entertainment industry, and even he has met with this Japanese star a few times, this small village Tibetan is not only an actor-level actor in the Japanese film industry, but also has a certain reputation even in the Chinese entertainment industry, and has played the main role in Chinese movies.
But such a Japanese star with great influence, in an interview with reporters, revealed the loss and regret of not being able to get the role of Cao Cao, which made "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" suddenly become an extremely heated topic of discussion in the Japanese media.
"Nima, it's just a shit. ”
When Xiao Bufan saw the Japanese media's interview with the Tibetans in the small village, he couldn't help but blurt out and curse.
You said that you are a good Japanese actor who is not right, you have to lower your own value, and you have to play the role of Cao Cao without a penny, what is this a crime?
The most important thing is that you put such a hot face on the cold ass of Oriental DreamWorks, and you can't help but be not the slightest annoyed, but instead sing praises for this movie that ruthlessly rejected his self-recommendation, isn't this a cheapness?
Even if you have liked the culture of the Three Kingdoms since you were a child, and the person you admire the most is Cao Cao, you won't be so cheap, right?
Xiao Bufan hated this cheap Tibetan in this cheap village so much that he used a machine gun to shoot directly at this guy, and Tai Nima was cheap.
Even if he is cheap, don't be cheap when he comes to Japan?
Now all the focus of the Japanese entertainment media is suddenly on the news that the Tibetan people in Komura were disappointed that "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" was defeated, and as for the news that he came to promote for "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai", although it was also on the entertainment section, it was quickly stolen by this news.
This made Xiao Bufan bearable.
In a fit of anger, he hastily made a mess of propaganda in Japan, and then returned to China, originally in his itinerary, there was also North Korea, but when Xiao Bufan also exposed the news of celebrity self-recommendation of Tibetans in North Korea from the Internet in North Korea, he decisively chose to give up the idea of going to North Korea for propaganda.
He didn't want to be robbed of the limelight.
Especially when the opponent did not exert his strength, it was completely just the subconscious of the media, this kind of gap, he Xiao Bufan couldn't stand it.
But I didn't expect that when Xiao Bufan returned to China, Huaxia's entertainment media also began to report the news that heavyweight actors from other countries in East Asia wanted to join the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" but were rejected.
In the face of this situation, Yang Ming did not expect that the news that he refused foreign stars to join the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" was dug up, he discussed it seriously with Liu Xinsheng, and in order to prevent foreign fans and audiences from misunderstanding the company and the film, he immediately solemnly held a press conference.
"The Three Kingdoms is one of the most brilliant historical cultures in Chinese history, in order to ensure the authenticity of Chinese history and culture, the crew will consider not arranging foreign actors to join the crew after careful consideration, we can't expand the influence of the film without respecting history!"
"In addition, we are very grateful to actors from other countries for their favor of our company's film, and I believe that we will definitely have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”
Movies about Chinese history must be performed by Chinese actors themselves, Yang Ming doesn't want to be like in his previous life, in order to expand the publicity influence of the film, and some inexplicable relationships, he installed foreign actors in the crew, especially Japanese actors.
Even though Japan has been emasculated by China and has become a member of the Greater Chinese Cultural Region in East Asia, the evil feeling towards Japan in his heart will never disappear.
After the press conference of Oriental DreamWorks, although there were some people who deliberately provoked Oriental DreamWorks to discriminate against foreign actors, they were immediately drowned in the saliva of countless people, what a joke, of course, if the history of Chinese people is interpreted by Chinese actors, how can non-Chinese actors be used.
It has nothing to do with skin color, nothing to do with ethnicity, nothing to do with discrimination, it is respect for history.
In this regard, the media in Japan, North Korea, and other East Asian countries also expressed a high degree of recognition that no one would object to respect for history, and that they should not make their own country's history indecent for the sake of the box office market, right?
After Xiao Bufan returned to China, although he still increased the publicity of "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai", he had to admit in his heart that in the promotion of the movie, his film lagged behind "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" too much.
Now we can only wait for the release of the movie, and then it will be time to see the feedback from the market.
For Xiao Bufan's actions, Bai Chongshi has always looked at it coldly, and he didn't interfere too much, whether it was money or effort, his Zhonghuang Entertainment was very cooperative, but he himself didn't say much in front of the media, unlike He Xinghan who pushed Xiao Bufan's movies in front of the media.
Only Bai Chongshi himself knows that the shadow that Yang Ming gave him is too deep, if it weren't for the too great influence of the Xiao family behind Xiao Bufan, he would definitely not stand with the other party and fight in the ring with the movie shot by that guy.
As the release time of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is getting closer and closer, fans and audiences are looking forward to this movie more and more urgently.
I can't wait for tomorrow to be the day the movie is released.
However, what makes the media curious is that the closer it is to the release time, Yang Ming seems to be missing, without any news, and without the same as before, he went to various cities to publicize and help.
At this time, a media suddenly found a major revelation in its own news, Yang Ming did not help promote "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" before its release, it was because he was busy making a new film.
After this news came out, countless people in the entertainment industry were dumbfounded, right?
