――――――

Just after Xiao Bufan, Shengli Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment held a grand press conference to announce the premiere date of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liao Zhai", which shocked all local media and entertainment circles, Dimei Pictures also used its huge network of contacts in Hollywood to invite many local media in the United States to come and grandly announce the release date of a movie.

"The Pacific Showdown", premiering on July 17!

The premiere date of this movie of Dimei Pictures is the same day as "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai", even if because of the time difference, the time in the United States is half a day later than that of Huaxia, but Dimei decided to arrange the release date of this movie, and the information released outside is too obvious.

That is, it is determined to meet with Oriental DreamWorks' "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", and the two movies will not fight hard in the summer file, and it seems that they will never give up.

In fact, most of the media in the United States know that Dimei now seems to be going to play against Oriental DreamWorks, and the schedule is not deliberate, but a plan that has been decided a long time ago.

A blockbuster film with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan will make a release plan half a year in advance in Hollywood, and there is a clear schedule for both filming and publicity.

This "Pacific Decisive Battle", which has long been promoted by Dimei Pictures, is the highlight of Dimei Pictures' film plan this year, how can the media outside not know this?

Before this, whether it was the plot of the movie or the cast, it had been reported by the media countless times, and the information that should be dug up had already been dug up, and even the approximate release date of this movie was guessed by the media.

It's just that because Oriental DreamWorks attaches great importance to this Chinese-language blockbuster with the theme of ancient Chinese war history, it is even more menacing in publicity, and it not only invests heavily in various channels to promote this film, but also arranges this film as a condition for film cultural exchanges between the two countries through official channels.

Of course, the official agreement of the United States to this condition is not because of the strength of Huaxia, but because the two countries have already agreed to cooperate, and the Huaxia side will also return the favor by arranging a movie selected by the official of the United States to be released in local theaters in China on a large scale.

It is precisely because Oriental DreamWorks has spent such a huge effort to take the lead that the Hollywood media gradually thought that Dimei Pictures was likely to change the premiere date of "Pacific Showdown".

Anyway, the summer file has more than two months, and it is staggered for half a month, so there is absolutely no big problem.

The most important thing is that not long ago, Dimei Pictures and Oriental DreamWorks had a quarrel because of the copyright of a comic, and because of this, Dimei Pictures suffered a big loss, according to some people's revelations, Dimei Pictures paid a very painful price to let Oriental DreamWorks withdraw the lawsuit.

And the copyright of "Superman" is one of the conditions.

But in this case, Dimei Pictures resolutely felt that it would be released as scheduled, and chose to meet with Oriental DreamWorks, so that the two blockbusters formed a comet collision with the earth in the summer file.

How can this not surprise the media in the United States.

You must know that on the side of Dimei Pictures, except for the theme of Oriental DreamWorks' movie this time, which is a Chinese-language movie, in other aspects, the right time and place will basically not have much advantage.

Could it be that the production cost of the film is claimed to be 300 million yuan, plus the publicity expenses, it has reached a sensational 400 million yuan, even in Hollywood, there has never been such a big deal.

The media in the United States don't care why Dimei Pictures has such confidence and want to fight with Oriental DreamWorks in the summer, but these problems are not what they care about, and countless media are extremely excited to start reporting the news announced by Dimei Pictures.

The two blockbusters were released at basically the same time, and this kind of scene of Mars hitting the earth is not long in the film industry.

In terms of distribution, the Hollywood film industry generally tries to avoid this situation.

Barber, who is in charge of Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks in the United States, was also shocked when he heard the news, and he didn't expect that Dimei Pictures, which had suffered a big loss before, would have such courage, and still chose to play against Oriental DreamWorks.

However, think about it, Dimei Pictures is an old giant in Hollywood, for so many years, I have been used to calling for wind and rain on the territory of Hollywood, how could I be afraid of Oriental DreamWorks because of a small setback.

It's impossible to think about.

Although Bobble was surprised by Dimei's decision, he did not panic or fear, and even in his heart, there was a trace of anticipation.

Guiwei used to be the general manager of Pan American Entertainment, a Hollywood giant, and it is impossible to say that he does not have some ideas in his heart, or he has a lot of ideas.

Being ruthlessly purged from Pan American Entertainment by that Collier guy was undoubtedly a big blow to Barber, who had been with the company for decades.

Later, he joined Oriental DreamWorks, and was even more disdained by other Hollywood people, thinking that he was too old to make such a ridiculous choice.

In the face of the invitation of other Hollywood film companies, although there are no giants, there are many sincere invitations from first-tier film companies, but he, an old guy, chose a third-tier Hollywood film company whose capital came from Huaxia's acquisition.

It can be said that since Barber joined Oriental DreamWorks, he has long remembered the comments of the outside world, and he always has a kind of anger in his heart that wants to vent and tell everyone that they are all wrong.

Obviously, this is the chance, the chance to prove his Barber ability and vision.

Even if he obtained the copyright of "Superman" from Dimei Pictures with his help before, he can not defeat Dimei in an upright way now, telling everyone that even if he is old, his vision and wisdom will never grow old.

After receiving the decision of Dimei Pictures to release "Pacific Showdown" on July 17, Bobble's actions suddenly became like a raging wind, and he personally asked about the various publicity plans of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" to prevent a half-point difference.

All kinds of lace news about the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", from the cast to the shooting scenes, Barber has a planned arranger to hype.

In order to shoot one of the scenes, Yang Ming used tens of thousands of manpower to truly shape the war scenes 2,000 years ago. ”

A set of aristocratic costumes of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" was auctioned in Paris for 50,000 euros and was collected by a wealthy man who has a deep study of Chinese history. ”

According to the research of well-known historians in the United States, I have to admit that the war that occurred in China 2,000 years ago, in which there were countless cold weapons, which exceeded the European Roman Empire at the same time, and even some cold weapons had a great impact on the later cold weapon wars. ”……

Barber knows very well that it is a pure Chinese-language movie, and it is also a movie with the theme of Chinese historical wars, no matter how high the production cost is and how luxurious the cast is, there is still a congenital gap for the people of the United States.

However, Dimei Pictures' "Pacific Decisive Battle" is a well-known piece of history in the hearts of the people of the United States.

One is the past of someone else's family, and the other is the history of one's own family, no need to ask, Barber knows that in this regard, what is the tendency of fans and audiences to choose to watch movies?

Therefore, he did not use Oriental DreamWorks' promotional ideas in Europe to promote Chinese history and culture, and to drive the appeal of the movie at the box office, he seduced the curiosity of fans and audiences about this Chinese blockbuster through other aspects.

The history of the war between the United States and Japan in the Pacific Ocean, for the people of the United States, this is a history that everyone knows, and there is nothing worth excavating.

Anyway, everyone knows that in the end, it was the United States that won the war.

But the Chinese blockbuster "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is different, in addition to the novel Chinese history, it is an epic ancient war picture, whether it is the manpower and material resources of the shooting, or the special effects shots, it is definitely not comparable to "Pacific Decisive Battle".

All of a sudden, under Barber's arrangement, the promotional strategy of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" by Oriental DreamWorks on the Hollywood side can be described as a strange trick, whether it is the media or the fans and audiences, they are dazzled.

Coupled with Yang Ming's popularity in the United States, as well as the reputation accumulated in the past few movies, countless fans and audiences are more and more eager to see what this so-called Chinese blockbuster is like?

Yang Ming learned about Barber's actions in the United States in China, and went to several portals in the United States to browse, and when he saw the news above, he almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

"2012, "Transformers", from disaster to science fiction, and now war, this genius from China has never let us down. ”

"I'm a fan of Hua Xia Yang, and I admire his unparalleled talent so much, whether it's music, or movies, it never seems to stump him. ”

"Oh my God, even now when I think of the camera in "Transformers", I still feel like screaming, so I still have a very, very big interest in the Chinese movies directed and acted by Hua Xia Yang. ”……

Yang Ming dares to guarantee that the interviews of these fans are definitely arranged by Barber to do it.

Although he knows that these interviews must be true, but this is too numb, or too one-sided, Barber must have arranged interviews with many people, and then found out the interviews belonging to Yang Ming's die-hard fans and put them in the media, sparing no effort to hype, relying on these to achieve influence on the fan audience.

Damn, it's really an old fox, and such a disgusting means can be used.

To be honest, if it was Yang Ming himself, he would definitely be embarrassed to use this method, after all, this tout is too obvious, and Nima is numb.

At least on Huaxia's side, he will definitely not use these means, too much to show personal heroism.

However, there is no problem with these for the United States.

Personal heroism is the most desirable dream in the hearts of countless people in the United States.

Yang Ming slandered Barber's actions, but he didn't say anything, after all, for Barber, his new film "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is a movie with Chinese history as the background.

Although "2012" and "Transformers" were also Chinese movies before, Yang Ming knew that these two movies were actually dressed in Chinese, but they were the core of Hollywood's commercial blockbuster model.

The success of these two Chinese-language films in the United States was not unexpected by Yang Ming.

After all, Yang Ming knows the provenance of these two movies better than anyone else.

Therefore, he now attaches great importance to the final results of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the rice film market, and the final box office data will also truthfully reflect whether today's Chinese films have potential in the film market of the United States, and how much potential is there?

At that time, the box office performance of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the United States will also determine his own layout in the United States film market.

It was precisely because of these unknown reasons that Yang Ming didn't say anything more about Barber's actions.

Hollywood's Dimei decided to fight with Oriental DreamWorks, and the same is true in China, Xiao Bufan joined forces with Zhonghuang Entertainment and Shengli Pictures to collide head-on with "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" in the summer, he didn't expect this, and the outside media was also broken glasses, and was taken aback by the courage of these three companies.

You must know that the title of Yang Ming's disaster film director not only has a certain influence abroad, but also has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of many domestic film companies.

In the past three years, all the blockbusters in the same schedule as Yang Ming have not hit the head.

As for the so-called film companies that once vowed to suppress the box office of the movies directed by Yang Ming, after the collision, those blockbusters basically did not end well, and death without a place to be buried may be serious, but the dismal ending is definitely inevitable.

It can be said that all the movies that are scheduled and directed by Yang Ming meet in the same schedule, except for movies with different types and themes, the box office of other films has been suppressed by Yang Ming's films, and the more blockbuster the movie, the more it is suppressed at the box office.

After all, the box office potential of a schedule is limited no matter how much it grows, and Yang Ming pockets most of the box office, and other movies can only eat the leftover cold soup, for movies with low production costs, these leftovers are enough for them to eat enough.

But for blockbusters, even food and clothing can't be solved.

Now that a movie is suddenly running out to fight with "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", how can it be impossible to surprise and shock the media in China!

Yang Ming's evil in movies is well known in the entertainment industry.

However, when the media saw that this movie was jointly distributed by three film companies with strong strength, they were not only surprised, but also had a feeling that maybe these three companies might really be able to compete with Yang Ming together.

Regardless of the quality of the film itself, the combined distribution ability of these three companies will not be inferior to Oriental DreamWorks, or even much stronger.

Yang Ming saw this situation and sighed in his heart, it seems that it may be because he deliberately targeted Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment in the financing of Maoyan Film and Time.com, which has made these two companies together, and the Xiao family behind Xiao Bufan is likely to be the lubricant for these two film giants.

However, he is not afraid of this at all, everything still depends on strength!
