Chapter Seventy-Three: Xiangjiang Propaganda

In addition to "Spy on the Sea", the consistent co-production is not adaptable, and another "Toy Story 3" will be released in China the day before its release in North America, that is, on June 16, and in North America it will be released on June 17.

With a kind of respect for the Chinese audience, I want the Chinese audience to be willing to pay.

It's a pity that this Pixar classic anime, which broke $400 million at the domestic box office in the United States and $1 billion at the global box office, still encountered difficulties in China.

The box office on the first day was only less than 10 million yuan, on the contrary, on the first day in North America, "Toy Story 3" earned 41 million US dollars, and the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first weekend!

Some analysts believe that in addition to the lack of publicity, the main thing is the cultural differences between China and the United States, for most Orientals, American-style heroes, dreams and inspirational stories do not have fundamental appeal...

Of course, there are also Chinese people who usually regard animation as a toy for children, but unfortunately, Pixar does not just make animation for children.

In June's domestic box office market, "Once Upon a Time" has always been outstanding...

……

Hui Hui has never liked HK very much, of course, he likes HK movies very much.

This is not a contradiction, many people like Japanese Ivy, but they don't like Japan as a country...

I was probably disgusted by a bunch of reports.

It's too embarrassing to click in and take a look, it turns out that the little kid can't hold back, and the little kid's mother let him pee on the street...

Then a bunch of Hong Kong people accused mainland tourists of not being civilized.

Ay!

If Hong Kong people come to the mainland and can't find toilets, it is estimated that they will scold the government for not repairing toilets, and China needs to reflect on the stiffness of the authoritarian system...

Typical personality discrimination...

As a native of the mainland, it is normal for Pao Hui to have a little emotion!

In the original time and space, he had been to HK several times, of course, in the form of tourists, with a silk mentality, thinking that taking a photo with Li Xiaolong (bronze statue) and pressing his claws on Chenlong's footprints was to love movies!

Time is a little long, probably I only remember that the authentic Hong Kong wonton noodles in the fly restaurant taste good, but he always thinks that the people of Xiangjiang live very hard, and the prices are too high, especially the housing prices, and the only one in Asia that can be compared with the price of Hong Kong is Tokyo!

After his rebirth, he has been to HK many times, and before that he participated in performances as a member of SJ.

This time I came to HK mainly to promote the movie.

According to the schedule, in addition to media conferences, there must also be matching variety shows.

There is no better choice than "Qiang Qiang Threesome", he wants to participate in "There is a Play Tonight", but he has no chance...

……

HK's media is very... It's very gossipy, and it's crazy, treating celebrities, especially celebrities with news breaks, they will really monitor 24 hours a day, which is even more ruthless than treating prisoners!

The well-known "Next Weekly", "East Weekly", "Apple Daily", and "Oriental Daily" are all Hong Kong media...

Even the word paparazzi was invented by Xiangjiang, and the most authentic translation should be 'tracking photography team', the most prosperous period of Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, that is, when the paparazzi were most rampant.

It is said that in order to take photos of Sister Fei and Xiao Xie, when the two cars were driving side by side at high speed, the photographer climbed out of the window, put the lens against her car window and then shot wildly inside, and was not afraid of a car accident!

As for squatting for more than ten days, rummaging through trash cans and the like can only be regarded as a trivial matter...

Xu Hui came to HK for the first time as a director, and there were many follow-up reports.

The hotel where he stayed was surrounded by layers of paparazzi!

And these people don't care if they're exposed, they're blocking the door openly...

As soon as I got off the plane, I was surrounded by a group of people, and sometimes I really admired the well-informed information of these people, where did they find the news?

"Hui Zai, does your coming to Hong Kong mean that you are interested in cooperating with a Hong Kong film company?"

"Hui Zai, "Wong Fei Hung" is so popular in Xiangjiang, should we add a few more roles played by Hong Kong stars?"

"Hui Zai, there are rumors that you are going to cooperate with Liang Jiahui..."

The title of 'Hui Zai' was given to him by a bunch of media when SJ held a concert in Xiangjiang a few years ago.

That's right, Xu Hui is only 26 years old, so it doesn't matter if he is called Hui Zai...

Dealing with the media, Xu Hui has long been familiar with the road, smiling the whole process, and not saying a word.

In fact, the Xiangjiang media's attitude towards Xu Hui is quite ambivalent.

Two years ago, when Xu Hui announced the filming of the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife", the first to ridicule was the Hong Kong media, and when the mainland box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" exceeded 100 million, those media said again, 'Maybe it's a fluke, he doesn't have a second movie.'" ’

Moreover, the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in Xiangjiang is only more than 4 million, and they can still find an excuse to say, 'Mainland directors can't make movies that Hong Kong people like!'

It is typical to say that grapes are sour if you don't eat them.

Then, Xu Hui's "Those Years" was released, and the mainland created a series of box office miracles, and after the release of Xiangjiang, it quickly set off a whirlwind of 'those years', and the box office in this port reached 30 million!

The key 09 years of Chinese films in Xiangjiang City were weak, and "Those Years" actually won the box office championship of Chinese films in 09!

It's embarrassing, a slap in the face.

What's even more embarrassing is that "Once Upon a Time" won 46 million in three weeks after its release, directly leaving behind the 43.31 million set by "Ip Man 2"...

When will mainland directors be able to play a role in the Hong Kong film market?

However, Xu Hui's movies have a kind of magic that can attract audiences to watch them!

……

After all, I am here to do propaganda, and I always have to face the media.

On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, the crew of "Once Upon a Time" appeared at Plaza Hollywood.

Plaza Hollywood should be regarded as a stop in Xiangjiang where mainland movies have been released in recent years, and many crews have held media meetings here.

Fans have long surrounded the scene, judging from the age distribution, most of them are elementary school students in their twenties, that is, pure Xu Hui's face fans, carnal rice...

Deng Chao, Wang Kai, Chen Chuhe, and Jiang Chao were the first to get off, then Wu Jing, Tong Liya, and finally Xu Hui.

The sound is wave after wave, and it is obvious that everyone really loves this movie!

However, Xu Hui's appearance was several layers higher than the others...

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Hui, the director of "Once Upon a Time", and I am very happy to come to Xiangjiang..."

The host took the microphone and wanted to ask questions, but unfortunately, the screams of the fans in the audience directly drowned out the sound of the microphone.

"Everyone, calm down first, I really didn't expect that I wouldn't be an idol for so many years, and everyone still hasn't forgotten me!"

Xu Hui bowed slightly, smiled and waved to the audience...

"Xu Hui, we love you..."

The sound has risen by dozens of decibels...

Old Xu Muyang said

I hate colds when I write it...

I watched a few videos of Mr. Deer's Hong Kong event, and the fans are so crazy, I'm not exaggerating at all...

Also, you people, tsk, can't be evaluated, you actually like to look at big men and women's clothes...

It's embarrassing...
