Chapter 1023: Support from the Government
There are more and more foreign attention and news reports on Yang Ming's new film "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", especially the costumes and various cold weapons of the Three Kingdoms period shown in the trailer, which have expressed great interest.
Foreign media have devoted a large amount of space to reporting and commenting on these issues.
Seeing this situation, the high-level government officials naturally did not give up this good opportunity, and immediately arranged for the media, which are inextricably linked with China, to popularize and introduce the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms period in China on a large scale.
"This is an era of nearly 100 years of war and more than 40 million casualties!"
An ordinary introduction exhausted the frequency and damage of wars during the Three Kingdoms period, and also shocked countless foreign fans and people.
One hundred years, more than 40 million people.
Foreign people who are familiar with history, after checking the relevant information, the period of the Three Kingdoms of China is equivalent to the period of the Roman Empire in Europe.
And the number of casualties caused by the war during the Three Kingdoms period in China was almost equivalent to that of the Roman Empire, which brought a great shock to foreign fans.
It also made countless foreign fans and audiences suddenly become very interested in this history of the Three Kingdoms period in China.
In this case, the introduction and popularization of the history of the Three Kingdoms by the Chinese government played a key role.
After all, the state apparatus and individual companies are not at the same level at all, as long as the national level starts propaganda, even abroad, the influence brought is very huge.
Especially in today's world, China is still so powerful, and there are public opinion media controlled by the Chinese government in every foreign country.
For example, the Voice of China, a giant media, from radio to newspapers, from television to the Internet, the media headquartered in New York, represents the voice of China in the West.
With the publicity and support of the high-level government officials, the influence of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" is also increasing abroad.
surpassed the intensity of Yang Ming's previous movie promotion, and what made Barber happiest was that with the instruction of the high-level officials of the Chinese government, many theater companies in the United States have contacted Oriental DreamWorks to introduce this movie for release.
Things have developed to this point, and they have taken on a certain political overtone.
Of course, this is also an unspoken rule between countries.
It is an exchange of interests.
It's just that Yang Ming's advantage makes other domestic film companies too jealous, and with the official endorsement, it is impossible for this movie to be released on a large scale abroad.
How can this guy have such good **** luck?
With the reform of the market, it was more than ten years ago that films like this with political tasks were introduced and released, and now it is almost impossible to obtain support from the government, distribute them abroad, and release them on a large scale.
Of course, this is also related to the lack of popularity of domestic films.
To be honest, the top level of the government still hopes to see excellent domestic films exported abroad, cultural export to the West, and popularize Chinese values.
It's just that local films have been distributed to the outside world in the past ten years, basically exporting 10 movies and losing 9!
If you lose money, forget it, but the key word-of-mouth is not good, foreigners are basically in the clouds after watching it, and they can't figure out what the movie is about.
Except, of course, those action movies.
is like a movie with a historical theme, which is simply the annihilation of the whole army, exported abroad, and not even a wave has been turned.
This makes it possible for the top officials to use small actions to support the distribution of local films abroad?
Isn't that a shame?
All domestic film companies, including those giants, suddenly won the favor of the top management of the government for Oriental DreamWorks, and they did not hesitate to open the back door to help Oriental DreamWorks promote and distribute, which is really more human than human, and it is infuriating!
Many film company bosses and some well-known industry insiders said sourly that it seems that Oriental DreamWorks' "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is going to be a big hit again!
This sentiment has also affected the Golden Dragon Award Reform Conference, which has already begun.
In order to better adapt to the development of the local film industry, the reform of the Golden Dragon Award is imminent, Tao Lao and the organizing committee after discussion, simply convened a conference, invited many well-known figures in the film industry to participate in the conference, and evaluated some reform measures.
The conference was held at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.
Only Yang Ming and Zheng Wen received invitations from Oriental DreamWorks.
Zheng Wen's "Passerby A" has already been completed, and the premiere will be two days later.
"Mr. Yang!"
As soon as Yang Ming walked into the Grand Theater, he heard someone calling him, but it is estimated that it may be the owner of a film company, if it is a director, then he will call him Director Yang.
Sure enough, he turned his head to see that Wen Jingtao, the president of Baoli Company, was waving his hand to greet him with a smile.
He whispered a few words to Zheng Wen, then walked over to Wen Jingtao and greeted, "Mr. Wen, long time no see." ”
Wen Jingtao heard Yang Ming's words, smiled elegantly, and said politely: "It's been a long time, but I didn't expect that in a short period of time, the momentum of your Oriental DreamWorks will become more and more fierce, your new film actually has the above to help you endorse, it's hard to sell it big!"
Hearing this, Yang Ming clearly saw a look of envy on Wen Jingtao's face, and he was naturally very clear about the things that the film industry was envious of because of the high-level support of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", and smiled faintly: "It's nothing, maybe Mr. Wen's next film will also get support from above!"
It is a well-known fact that the government's support for promoting Chinese history and culture and exporting Chinese values and entertainment culture has become an inevitable trend, and as long as there are film companies that can meet the above conditions, they can also get high-level support, which is also a well-known thing.
Just after Yang Ming said this, he heard a cold snort, and a middle-aged man with a powerful aura standing next to Wen Jingtao looked at Yang Ming with a disdainful expression.
Wen Jingtao heard this cold snort, his expression did not change, and with a smile on his face, he introduced Yang Ming: "Mr. Yang, this is He Xinghan, the president of Shengli Pictures, and Lao He, this is the young and promising Yang Ming president of Oriental Dreamworks. ”
To be honest, when Yang Ming encounters this kind of introduction, he will shake hands very politely, but through the disdain just now, he estimated that even if he stretched out his hand, people might not give him face.
"Hello, Mr. He!" he said lightly, without stretching out his hand.
Since the other party's attitude is not good, there is no need for him to put a hot face on someone's cold ass.
Today, he, Yang Ming, does not need to wronged himself in the face of reality, because he has the confidence to despise everything.
Seeing Yang Ming's appearance, the face of Mr. He of Shengli Pictures was even more ugly, but just when he wanted to break out, Wen Jingtao saw the situation and hurriedly said: "There are many reporters at today's conference, don't let people see jokes." ”
After saying this, Wen Jingtao explained to Yang Ming with sincerity: "Mr. Yang, Lao He may not be very comfortable because the manager of his company was recorded by reporters before, and he tried to cooperate with your company Maoyan Movie and Time.com a while ago without success, and there may be some misunderstandings about your company, don't take it to heart." ”
Yang Ming saw Wen Jingtao looking like a good old man, and glanced at him meaningfully, in the film industry, everyone is really an actor.
