Chapter 1128: Plan Change

Rice country, Washington.

The Brown brothers are both high school students and are at the most rebellious time of their lives.

Big Brown loves rock 'n' roll songs, and any way to unleash his passion is what he likes.

And his younger brother Little Brown used to be obsessed with martial arts, and now he went to the Chinese martial arts gym a year or two to start learning kung fu.

The preferences of the two brothers are really a bit different from those well-behaved children with good academic performance, but their parents did not stop the two brothers.

Besides, compared to other people's children's **** and drug addictions, the Brown brothers are simply too pure.

Speaking of which, the reason why Little Brown likes Chinese kung fu is because of Big Brown's influence.

Because Big Brown likes to listen to Yang Ming's rock music, as a fan of Yang Ming, he naturally goes to watch Yang Ming's movies, and then pulls his younger brother on.

Unexpectedly, I watched "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" starring Yang Ming that time, and Xiao Brown suddenly fell in love with Chinese kung fu, and then found a Chinese martial arts hall to learn the peerless martial arts of flying eaves and walking on the wall in the movie.

Although Little Brown knew that everything in the movie was fake, this did not prevent him from continuing to practice Chinese kung fu.

He really likes this kind of Chinese fighting technique that can not only strengthen his body, cultivate his body, but also easily hit his opponent.

"Hey, have you read the recent news? I heard that the script of "Liu Changqing" was written by Yang!"

Big Brown rushed into the exercise room at home and asked loudly when he saw his younger brother, who was sweating profusely and still playing a wooden stake.

The events of "Liu Changqing" have a very great influence, not only setting off a lot of waves in China, but the country itself will naturally not be indifferent, but compared with the Chinese people's respect for history, the country is much worse.

After all, the history of the founding of the United States is only about 300 years, and it is also a country of immigrants, and various races from Asia, Africa and Europe can be seen everywhere in every corner of the United States society.

Another important reason is that the United States does not have its own national heritage.

In the previous life, the comparison of strength between major powers would always become a topic of conversation among countless Chinese people, and various remarks on the Internet were all over the place.

There are many people who think that if China starts a war with the United States, it will definitely be the losing side, and there are not a few people who hold this view!

Everyone is ironclad that the United States will not lose the war at all if it has a clear advantage in both economic and military strength.

But everyone seems to have forgotten that China, an ancient country that has been inherited for thousands of years, has never broken the terrible resilience and strength of the ancient country.

The Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are the best natural barriers for the United States.

It can be said that the United States has never experienced a real life-and-death war between countries.

Not to mention that compared with China, Germany, and Russia, even Japan and the United States are much worse in this regard, and the people's heartfelt loyalty to the country can be said to be extremely indifferent.

The history of China can be said to be a history of wars, and the country has been broken several times in history, but the Chinese once again established a new China on the ruins of their hometown, and then once again stood at the pinnacle of the world's nations.

This was true in previous lives, and it is also true in this life.

Therefore, the people of the United States may have the concept of the country in their hearts, but they are not as enthusiastic and direct as the Chinese people.

This is the case with the Brown brothers, who might be called the third generation of immigrants.

At that time, both parents' families immigrated from Europe and belonged to Polish descent.

To be honest, sometimes their parents pay more attention to current affairs in Poland than in the United States.

"I believe Yang Ming, that movie must be a real history. Little Brown gasped, stopped his boxing, and shrugged his shoulders as he removed the strip of cloth wrapped around his hand.

Regarding the incident of "Liu Changqing" this time, if it weren't for the fact that there were his favorite idols among them, he would definitely be indifferent.

As for history, why does he care so much?

100 years ago, the United States was not his motherland, and he was not obliged to bear the nominal burden for what the people of the United States did 100 years ago.

"Haha, we all think so, the guys on the football team are still ready to protest against the government's lack of attention to history!" said Big Brown with a grin, looking like he was not afraid of big things.

In fact, for the Chinese people, this news may involve their own national sensitive history, and rise to the glory of the country.

But the people of the United States obviously don't think so.

At least that's the case with the Brown brothers, and there must be quite a few people like them.

The media may be righteous and strict, pretend to be a righteous image, stand on the opposite side of the Chinese media, and do their best to maintain the so-called glorious image of the United States, but unfortunately the people below are not very cooperative, and they are not at all like Huaxia, and even spontaneously boycott the products of the United States for this matter.

This is simply unthinkable in the United States.

The two brothers chatted for a while and decided to watch "Liu Changqing" together, and after determining the time, the two were busy with their own work.

"Liu Changqing" was released in the United States, Yang Ming's original intention was just to add icing on the cake, through the small-scale trial screening of AMC, the box office results can be increased, and the number of screening theaters will be increased according to the situation, and he has never thought about what kind of box office results he wants to achieve in the United States.

According to Yang Ming's plan, the reason why pure Chinese films like "Liu Changqing" are now arranged to be distributed and released in the United States is mainly to cultivate the film market in the United States.

No matter what the box office performance is, we must first let the fans and audiences in the United States gradually become familiar with Chinese movies.

Among them, action kung fu movies are even more important to Yang Ming and are regarded as a weapon for Chinese films to open up the film market in the United States.

In addition to "Liu Changqing", Yang Ming contacted Hong Lao's side, and at that time, Hong Lao's side will also have a few action movies with a decent investment, which will be distributed through the operation of Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks and Barber, and will be released in the United States through AMC theaters.

In this way, a certain number of Chinese-language movies will be released in the United States every year, and fans in the United States will definitely accept Chinese-language movies faster and faster in the future.

Just like in the previous life, sometimes a pure rice movie is released in China, and its plot with unique rice culture jokes can be understood by Chinese audiences and laugh for it.

This is what Yang Ming wants.

But he really didn't expect that the "Liu Changqing" incident would make such a big fuss, and it became more and more out of the grasp of Oriental DreamWorks.

is now a craze by the media in the United States, and within a week, the title of the movie "Liu Changqing" has appeared on the front pages of major media several times, and it is impossible not to be popular.

Before, Yang Ming wanted to keep a low profile, even if the box office results were not good, there was no big problem.

And at this moment, it is obviously not possible.

Fans in the United States also know through the bombardment of news reports by the media, and they also know that there is about to be a movie called "Liu Changqing" that will be released in the United States, and even caused a media news war between the two countries because of this movie.

As for the plot of this movie mentioned in the news of his own media, it is suspected of seriously slandering the national image of the United States, and it has not been taken to heart by many fans at all.

Many fans have decided that if they have the opportunity, they will definitely go to see what kind of movie this "Liu Changqing" is.

The media and some celebrities in the United States have criticized the Chinese-language film "Liu Changqing", hoping that this film will not only be banned by the Film Association, but also want to nail this movie to the pillar of shame to achieve their ulterior motives.

However, fans in the United States have shown great interest in the movie "Liu Changqing", if this movie is really good, they are not opposed to watching this movie that caused a huge storm.

Barber, who is in the United States, sensitively discovered the different reactions of the media and fans in the first time.

He immediately made a phone call to Yang Ming, changed his previous plan, and "Liu Changqing" was released on a large scale, and at the same time made changes in publicity.

Yang Ming heard Bobble's report, thought carefully for a while, agreed to Bobble's plan, and let him do it.

After all, others are not in the United States, and they are not familiar with the situation in the United States.

Since Barber thinks it can, then arrange it according to his plan, after all, this former Hollywood bigwig.

After Barber received Yang Ming's support, without saying a word, he immediately rushed to AMC Cinemas and personally negotiated with Gerry Lopez, hoping that AMC Cinemas would change its previous strategy and release "Liu Changqing" on a large scale!

Although Yang Ming is the majority shareholder of AMC, Barber did not use this as a condition to put pressure on Gerry Lopez.

After AMC was acquired by Yang Ming and Li Xingyi, except for the change of the board of directors, the company's top management did not change much, and after Yang Ming and Li Xingyi discussed, AMC was still in the hands of Gerry Lopez and did not interfere with the company's decision-making.

Yang Ming did what he said, and did not let Gerry Lopez open the door to all the movies of Oriental DreamWorks after becoming a major shareholder of AMC.

Everything is still according to Gerry Lopez's strategy.

Gerry Lopez is also very grateful for Yang Ming's trust, and Yang Ming also does what he says, since the acquisition of AMC's shares, he has basically been in charge of the shopkeeper and rarely asks AMC.

However, even if Yang Ming didn't put any pressure on Gerry, how could Gerry not take care of Oriental DreamWorks at all.

The films shot by the Oriental DreamWorks division led by Barber in the past two years will basically get the full support of Gerry, of course, mainly because the box office potential of the movie itself is really good.

Under this premise, Gerry will try to take care of the films released by Oriental DreamWorks as much as possible.

Now that Barber finds Gerry and asks him to change his plan, he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.

In one of AMC's offices.

Seeing Gerry's frowning brows, Barber understood the other party's concerns, and immediately said: "Gerry, if it was before, I wouldn't have persuaded you to change your plans, but now the situation is different, there are countless Mi families who know the name of this movie, and it is still the focus of their conversations, I think we should make changes immediately." ”

Hearing Bobble's words, Gerry's brows loosened slightly, he naturally knew what Bobble said, but the curiosity of the audience does not mean that they will definitely buy tickets and walk into the theater.

Therefore, he still has a lot of concerns in his heart.

Seeing that Gerry still refused to let go, Barber immediately took out a survey document he carried with him, handed it to Gerry, and said, "This is the market research I commissioned a special investigation agency to do in the past two days, you can take a look!"

Gerry took the document and saw the name of the investigation company that came to the door, his expression eased slightly, the reputation of this investigation company is still quite strong.

Here is a summary of the investigation.

Immediately 1,000 people were randomly checked, of which 920 people knew about the movie "Liu Changqing", about 640 people were interested in this movie, 460 people said that if they had the opportunity not to exclude watching this movie, 320 people said they would definitely go to see this movie.

Guaranteed one-third of the audience base, which is already a very high rate.

But that wasn't enough for Gerry!

In the past, it was not uncommon for movies like this to have good investigation reports but poor box office results.

What's more critical is the current negative image of "Liu Changqing", which has been rendered by the media and some well-known people, as if the audience in the United States is a crime if they watch this movie.

Gerry gently put down the report and walked back and forth, thinking about Bobble's plan, still afraid to make up his mind.

To be honest, if it weren't for Bobble's brilliant qualifications in the past and Yang Ming's concern, he would now want to immediately reject Bobble's plan, the risk is too great.

If he can, he still wants to arrange a test screening of "Liu Changqing", and the box office results are okay, and then further expand the number of theater screenings according to the situation.

This is a very safe way to keep the risk to the minimum.

Seeing that Gerry still refused to make up his mind, Bobber knew that if he didn't say something serious, he would probably be hesitant to make up his mind.

So, he stared into Gerry's eyes and said slowly: "The expected success will never be appreciated, if it is an incredible success, this is the real success, the success that makes you famous!"

As a professional manager, Gerry instantly understood what Barber meant when he heard this.

If it is a safe success, for the managers of an enterprise, it can only be regarded as basically qualified, and it is not excellent.

Perhaps it would be considered conservative.

But if he overrides public opinion and achieves unexpected success, then his decision will be evaluated by everyone as wise and decisive.

Gilding his qualifications with a dazzling halo.

"And this time the opportunity is very big, there has never been a movie as full of contradictions in the history of Hollywood as 'Liu Changqing', and this will be a storm!" Barber continued.

After saying this, he didn't wait for Gerry to speak, took out another plan, handed it to Gerry, and said, "This is a new propaganda plan that I arranged for someone to make, you can take a look." ”

Now it is completely impossible for the media to do positive publicity for "Liu Changqing" on a large scale, so Barber thought about it and did the opposite, then continue to expand the contradiction and make the storm more violent!

When all the media are crazy about a movie, just because of an inexplicable reason, this is bound to make fans more curious about this movie.

Gerry carefully looked at the propaganda plan handed over by Bobble, his eyes flashed with surprise, and after a while, he slowly put down the document and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Bobble, your words are always so moving, I think there is no one in this world who you can't talk about!"

When he said this, the meaning was already clear.

Bobble laughed.

Before Yang Ming appeared, the two of them were already old acquaintances, a film company, a theater company, and there were too many opportunities to deal with each other.

Although Gerry has now agreed to Bobble's plan, he still reminds the other party: "You are walking a tightrope!"

Although "Liu Changqing" has aroused the strong curiosity of fans now, its negative image has long been ingrained under the media publicity.

As Gerry said, Bobble's plan was to walk a tightrope.

"Oh, don't worry!" said Bobble with a wave of his hand.
