Chapter 290: Passerby Interview
The time entered mid-August, and the post-production of "Painted Skin" was nearing completion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is expected that it will take another ten days for "Painted Skin" to be officially completed.
Now, Wang Meng is busy with dubbing, editing, etc., and is very concentrated, putting aside all the miscellaneous things, and concentrating on the production of "Painted Skin".
At the same time, during the production period, the publicity of "Painted Skin" did not fall.
All over Asia, all-round publicity.
ββββ
In Japan, programs to investigate passers-by continue.
"Excuse me, do you know the Chinese classic "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai"? Do you know "Painted Skin" in it?" The reporter interviewed a young Japanese man.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I know, Sun Wukong, don't you?" β
When the reporter heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Reporter: "It's not "Journey to the West", it's "Painted Skin", or it's the new work of the production company of "Chainsaw" released some time ago. β
Passerby: "Nani? Chainsaw is another horror movie, I like it." β
The reporter was speechless and said: "It's Wang Meng, the screenwriter of "Chainsaw", and the new film "Painted Skin" directed by Wang Meng is a magic film. β
Passerby: "Nani, isn't he a screenwriter, how did he become a director?"
"This gentleman, he is not only a screenwriter, but also a director, and the recently popular "Transformers" is also his work, including "Spider-Man". "The journalist lost hope.
"Oh, he's a cartoonist, and he's amazing, didn't you say it earlier?"
"Uh......" The reporter really wanted to curse, so he had to say: "Thank you for this gentleman for the interview, thank you." β
"Well, you're welcome, seeing that this Wang Meng you said is very powerful, I will go and see "Painted Skin". Passerby said.
Since then, the reporter has interviewed many people.
found that more than thirty percent of the people over the age of 30 had heard of "Liao Zhai", and after they were still the screenwriters of "Chainsaw", many people said that they would go back to support it.
One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, knew everything about it.
"Are you talking about "Painted Skin" in "Liao Zhai"? I know, I like Chinese culture very much, I have read many famous Chinese novels, and I like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most. I have time to go back to watch this movie you said, it's a magic movie, and I like the magic theme. However, the Chinese kung fu and costumes are very powerful, of course, some time ago "Chainsaw" also broke my mind, and now there are magic films, I am looking forward to it. β
"Thank you, sir, for your answer, thank you. "Journalists.
Speaking of which, Japan's favorite classical Chinese masterpiece is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Even according to the survey, it is even more obsessed than China. This is inseparable from the fact that Japan has been absorbing Chinese culture from the beginning to the end since the establishment of this country.
Japan changed from primitive to civilized, starting from the Han Dynasty in China, learning from China from where, until the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, the Tang Dynasty's kind of heavenly / dynasty / spirit that embraced all rivers and rivers made them learn a lot, and since then the small island of Japan has a civilization.
In the Song Dynasty, Japan found that it was civilized, not a savage, and was dissatisfied with its short identity.
Therefore, many Japanese women began to go to Song for vaccination.
Speaking of which, there are many Japanese who are the seeds of China.
During the Ming Dynasty, Japan also admired China, especially the fleets of Ming and Zheng He.
However, Europe and the United States drove warships to colonize and kill, and we went to promote prestige and fraternity.
Japanese Navy Admiral Heihachiro Togo engraved the words "bow your head and worship Yangming all your life" on a seal he carried. Wang Yangming is also the Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty, a master of heart and learning.
Until the 'I Daqing' Dynasty, I 'went to the special'.
The Manchus' policy of fooling the people led to the near-complete destruction of China, and from then on they were called 'slaves' and 'foreigners' into 'foreign masters'.
The rule of the Qing Dynasty completely broke the backbone of the Han people, and it was not until the 60s of the 19th century that it began to slowly recover.
β¦β¦
Therefore, the Japanese have some knowledge of Chinese classical masterpieces, especially the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, there are also people who know "Liao Zhai", but they are all a little old.
Later, the reporter found that some of the older people know, but not much of the young people.
However, some of the girls surprised the reporter.
"Are you talking about Mengjun's new film "Painted Skin"? I know, I've been looking forward to it, I like Mengjun the most, he is so handsome, he has a good figure, I have seen all Mengjun's works, do you know "You at the Same Table"? Among them, Mengjun's figure is so good, it's really like a monkey for him. Ahh
The female passerby's answer let the reporter know that it seems that Wang Meng is somewhat well-known among young Japanese people.
DreamWorks has spent a lot of money, not only for interview programs, but also for promotional posters, as well as for some movie websites.
Among them, Wang Meng is the biggest propaganda candidate, and the propaganda slogans are even more varied
-- What is the world's first soft science fiction pioneer.
- What is behind the scenes of "Saw Horror".
ββWhat "Transformers" and "Spider-Man" are original.
ββWinner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the Venice International Film Festival.
Wait a minute......
Even, there is talk - the rumored boyfriend of Hollywood beauty Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson.
In short, all kinds of propaganda.
As the starring role, Zhao Wei is also the main force of publicity.
The original "Huanzhu Gege" was not only famous in China, but also very powerful in Asia, so the promotion of Zhao Wei was also in full swing.
A huge poster shows Wang Meng wearing armor, holding a halberd in his hand, and an invincible appearance, which is very popular with Japanese girls.
And Zhou Xun is even more charming and bewitching, which makes many male fans who have seen the poster look forward to it.
In South Korea -
After discovering that the passer-by was very good, the Korean side is also doing it, and it is jointly launched by DreamWorks and the Korean distributor.
Reporter: "Hello, do you know China's "Liao Zhai"? Do you know that a recent Chinese magic skin "Painted Skin" will be released in China?"
The subject of this survey is obvious, middle-aged.
Because I have suffered losses in Japan.
The uncle who was interviewed was stunned for a moment and asked, "I know, but? Isn't "Liao Zhai" Korean? How can it be Chinese?"
"Uh......" journalists were defeated by their own compatriots.
"We are talking about the recent world-renowned newcomer director Wang Meng of China, the new film "Painted Skin". The reporter had no choice but to change direction.
The passer-by was stunned again and asked: "Wang Meng, I know, it is said that he is very famous in China." But I read the newspaper and said, "Wang Meng is Korean!" How can he be Chinese?"
Reporter:......
Later, the reporter interviewed young people, and it turned out that young people knew more than middle-aged people.
I know, he's so handsome, I like his films, I like it. β
"Wang Mengoba is the most handsome. β
"So handsome, so handsome,"
Sure enough, South Korea is a country that looks at faces, so Wang Meng is very popular among young people.
There is no such publicity in Southeast Asia and other places, only in front of the movie theater, there are a few posters alone.
As for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places, now Wang Meng and DreamWorks' reputation is called a fire, basically the same as the mainland, many newspapers, media and netizens are looking forward to Wang Meng's works.
In general, in Asia, Japan is more middle-aged, South Korea is young, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are almost all killed.
In Europe and the United States, because they have not yet seen the finished film, these guys in Europe and the United States dare not decide to release it.
After all, the competition here is too big, one wrong step is one wrong step, and before they can't see the finished film, these guys don't dare to say that it will definitely be released.
So, there's not much publicity here.
However, "Saw Horror" is very famous in Europe and the United States, especially the easter egg promotion at the end, and many people are looking forward to "Painted Skin".
In Europe and the United States, among the ten people who know Wang Meng, ninety percent of them believe that "Chainsaw" is Wang Meng's operation, as for Liu Zhiyuan, uh...... Not many people really know.
This is inseparable from Wang Meng's fame and some newspaper reports.
In other places, although Wang Meng gained the most from "Chainsaw", at least, there are a few who know director Liu Zhiyuan.
In Europe and the United States, it is almost extinct.
This is also the reason why Comrade Liu is very reluctant.
β¦β¦
In late August, more than five months from the start of filming to the present, "Painted Skin" was finally completed.
In the previous life, "Painted Skin" didn't take so long.
This time, Wang Meng used "Painted Skin" as a blockbuster production, the plot has changed a lot, and the special effects have increased the proportion, which takes more time than in the previous life.
Now that "Painted Skin" is finally completed, Wang Meng, who has watched the finished film, breathes a sigh of relief.
He watched it all heartily after reading it himself.
The feelings are simple and clear, the fighting is hard and the special effects are world-class, and they are completed in their own hands.
"This is definitely a work whose reputation is no less than that of "Chainsaw", and the box office will be exceeded, Director Wang Congratulations, you have succeeded again. Wu Ershan said.
"Well, I hope so. Wang Meng nodded.
He himself is very satisfied, as Wu Ershan said, such a magic film will definitely succeed.
At present, who can make such a work in China, only I, Wang Meng, have done it, only me!!
Wang Meng's blood is boiling, the plot is complete, the special effects are exquisite, and the production is excellent......
"Started the official promotion and contacted the publishers in Europe and the United States. Wang Meng stood up and said.
Zhang Lantian and others said that they understood that now that "Painted Skin" is completed, they are waiting for the publicity and release.
And everyone who saw the film was very confident.
I dare not say that the world-famous magic masterpieces have their own merits. There is also a taste of China, which presumably Chinese fans will like and fans around the world will be shocked.
The next day.
DreamWorks officially sent out the news that the production of "Painted Skin" was completed.
It is scheduled to be released in the mainland on September 18, 07, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan on the 19th, and in Asia on the 20th, and it is unknown in Europe and the United States......
As soon as such news was released, the country was completely boiling.
"Painted Skin" has never let go of publicity, just talking about Wang Meng, he took the crew to participate in many program interviews, as well as a lot of text interviews and so on.
Now the country has reached a boiling point. Next is the promotion of Asia, and after the release date of Europe and the United States is set, the promotion of Europe and the United States.
So, after such a message is sent,
China is boiling, and all the countries in Asia that have promoted it, there are promotional videos on the film websites and video websites of these countries.
This is a propaganda that spends a lot of money on the main attack, and this wave of publicity has made many people know about "Painted Skin".
