Chapter 342. King of Asia!
I can't fail to mention that "Captain Touching Gold" is indeed a completely North American Hollywood action blockbuster, smooth and thrilling, intense, and extremely hot. Many viewers interviewed by the marketing department claimed that it was definitely worth it just to enjoy the tomb explosion at the end.
After all, in this era, no one seems to have filmed such a huge scene, although there is money in hand and the film industry is booming, but there is no super director who can control such a large scene.
In many cases, the gap between mainland films and North American films is here, not in terms of funding, nor in terms of story scripts, but in terms of directing ability.
Many Hollywood blockbuster directors are used to doing that kind of super blockbuster, starting from "True Lies", to "Titanic", to "Avatar", "Transformers", and "Fast and Furious 7", this series of super cast blockbusters all illustrates a problem, talent is the most important factor in whether a movie can stay in history.
Cameron, Spielberg, and Sam Raimi, which of these big directors is not filming with hundreds of millions of dollars?
In the mainland, the investment can reach 500 million yuan, but there is no one who can control the 500 million funds and shoot a blockbuster with a super lineup.
Fortunately, Yin Tianyou is one of them.
The world needs heroes because people need to have objects to worship.
The film industry is the same, people need a young and energetic hero like Yin Tianyou. The rise of "Touching the Golden Captain" opened a window to the altar for him.
Of course, this altar is currently limited to the Asian region, in North America. His fame is still a little worse, and he can't even compare to the great director Li Li.
But now. At least in Asia, in the interior. Yoon Tianyou's fame seems to have surpassed Director Lee, who has not had a work for N years. However, it is not only because this film is indeed an action blockbuster of the super era, and the quality is very good, so that every audience can get such a high box office. Also because of the publicity strategy of the marketing departments of the three major film companies, they have not stopped promoting the film even after its release, trying to find out those audiences who do not watch movies often.
Another reason is that the statistics of the media and film critics on the various data of this film have made audiences who did not want to watch it interested. Therefore, a high box office can indeed drive a lot of markets.
To put it simply. The box office is not only related to the quality of the film, but also the quality is not promoted and released, and no matter how good the film is, it can only rot in the stuffy quilt. In this marketing battle, which is definitely the most powerful in the mainland film industry, every staff member in the marketing department has grown rapidly, and this kind of experience is not something that everyone can gain.
Of course, the distribution departments of major companies have also experienced a very severe efficiency test, and as a director and producer, Yoon issued what seems extremely strict in this era: the film must be released in every region and country in Southeast Asia within 10 days of its mainland premiere.
This is simply a battle of honor for the distribution department of this play. Won. After all, with the development of the domestic film industry, the competition in film marketing has long become white-hot, and it can be superior in its peers. If you come out on top, that's the real big winner.
In any case, the distribution department did it. What Japan. South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand – the latest screening is Thailand, a country with a very low efficiency. It only took eight days in total. In the outside world, marvel at Tianyi Media, Wanda. When the light and Huayi Brothers actually had such an efficient ability to do things in each department, the head of the distribution department and his subordinates were so tired that they couldn't wait to find a place to sleep.
In any case, Yin Tianyou is very satisfied with this result, he can't control other companies, for Tianyi Media, he personally went to meet all the employees who worked for the company, and personally gave each employee a big red envelope.
The total box office of "Touching the Golden Captain" in Taiwan is 520 million, becoming the king of Taiwan's box office and directly rewriting Taiwan's box office record. In Singapore, Malaysia, Taifei and other places, the total box office of this film is 760 million, although it did not break the box office record, but it is the highest-grossing mainland film in those places.
It is precisely under such a popular situation that the drama "Touching the Golden Captain" will create an astonishing box office record of up to 4.5 billion in the mainland, breaking N records of mainland films in one fell swoop, and Yin Tianyou has since been known as the "king of Asia" in the film industry.
……
Just when Yin Tianyou was proud of his extraordinary honor, he received a call from Zhou Xingchi, the star master in Hong Kong.
Zhou Xingchi said very directly on the phone, "God bless, don't forget, you still owe me a role." ”
Yin Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, yes, it seems that in order to recruit Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark to shoot "Journey to the West: The Demon of the West", he promised to play a cameo role in the play, and even assured Xing Ye that no matter what the role is, it will be incumbent.
But I never expected that Xing Ye would call at this time.
However, what Yin Tianyou didn't expect was that the other party actually asked him to play the leading role - Tang Seng!
I have to say that Zhou Xingchi is definitely a person who knows how to use public opinion and the situation, and now "Journey to the West", which he is preparing to sharpen his sword for three years, is about to start filming, but the choice of the actor makes him very nervous.
The role of Sun Wukong should be made with special effects according to director Tsui Hark's intentions, after all, it is more realistic, and Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie's personnel are also first-line actors in the mainland, only this Tang Seng is the focus of the whole play, and there needs to be a person who can take the lead.
Just when Zhou Xingchi was distressed, Yin Tianyou's movie exploded, and his popularity was invincible, with a box office of 4.5 billion, and he was known as the king of Asia.
Taking advantage of this, Zhou Xingchi had an idea, why not find Yin Tianyou to play Tang Seng, you have to have acting skills, you want to be popular, and you can even be sure that as long as Yin Tianyou is willing to join this play, then the box office will definitely exceed 2 billion!
With this amazing thought, Zhou Xingchi's heart was as uncomfortable as being burned, so he didn't hesitate to call Yin Tianyou and tell him, you come to play Tang Seng.
……
Figured out what happened. Yin Tianyou couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this called moving a stone and hitting his own foot?
Originally, it was to win over Zhou Xingchi. I made a promise, but I didn't expect people to wait here. Cover yourself directly.
Tang Seng, don't say whether it's good or not, you need to shave your head just in appearance!
Since becoming a big star, Yin Tianyou cherishes his hair very much, because he knows that in this world, except for the flying Jordan, no one can be bareheaded and be supported by thousands of fans.
Not to mention celebrities, even the average person clearly knows how important a hairstyle is to a person.
With that in mind. Yin Tianyou first replied to Master Xing very tactfully, if you can, I can help you recommend a candidate-
Zhou Xingchi's answer is, I want you!
The deception is too much, Yin Tianyou didn't expect Zhou Xingchi to be so stubborn, and even wondered if it was because his movie broke his record of "Mermaid" of more than 30 billion, he deliberately took revenge on himself, and wanted to see himself shaved his head and make a fool of himself?
However, I swore to others before. Now I don't shave my head, who shaves my head?
As Zhou Xingchi expected, after slightly revealing to the outside media that the actor of "Journey to the West" will be Yin Tianyou, the king of the new box office, the entire film industry was shaken.
Who is Yin Tianyou?
Today, Asia deserves to be a great director. South Korea's talented singer and world-class entertainment tycoon......
Of course, people don't forget either. He is also a Korean actor, and he has nothing to say about his good acting skills.
That's the kind of person you have. actually wants to play the leading role in a movie directed by Tsui Hark and produced by Zhou Xingchi. Playing Tang Seng, who wouldn't be surprised?
Yes, even Yin Tianyou himself felt very surprised, thinking that the world was really wonderful, let alone other people.
But one thing is for sure, people are beginning to look at Zhou Xingchi with admiration, the reason is very simple, even a cow like Yin Tianyou can be invited, needless to say, Xingye himself is even better.
Yin Tianyou hates being used to make a show, but he has always liked to make fun of others, but this time he was scolded by Zhou Xingchi, which is in response to that sentence, it's not that the time has not come, but there will be retribution as soon as the time comes.
Alas, it looks like you shouldn't be so easy to play people in the future.
Yin Tianyou sighed.
……
Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark will not easily let go of Yin Tianyou, the best publicity tool, so when the filming of "Journey to the West" started, a unique press conference was held.
Yin Tianyou is going to shave and become a monk!
This was the biggest topic of publicity in the whole conference.
For a while, Yin Tianyou fans and fans in China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia went crazy.
I've always been used to Yin Tianyou's flowing hair, and now idols want to shave their heads, how can this be embarrassing?
Those media reporters were extremely excited to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and give a detailed report on this unprecedented "shaving ceremony".
Even some TV stations joined in the excitement to broadcast the scene of Yin Tianyou's shaved head, which was beautifully called: The king of heaven took refuge in the demon chapter, and once cut off three thousand threads!
No one expected that when the TV station broadcast Yin Tianyou's shaving, it would cause the ratings to explode.
At the same time, both the online media and the newspaper media reported on the matter in a big way.
With the overwhelming reports of these media, "Journey to the West" has become very popular before filming has started.
Zhou Xingchi was surprised and delighted at this.
I am happy that my drama is highly anticipated, and it will definitely be a big hit at the box office in the future; What is surprising is that Yin Tianyou's popularity is so huge, even when he was the most popular, he couldn't compare.
But either way, the big picture is decided.
"Journey to the West" was successfully launched in this much-anticipated manner.
……
As a director, Tsui Hark has always liked to go off the beaten path in filming, relying on special effects skills to win. Zhou Xingchi himself is also very fond of special effects, such as his movies "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", and "Mermaid", which are assisted by large-scale special effects.
It can be said that Zhou Xingchi is the producer and Tsui Hark is the director, and the two "smell the same", but this is bitter for Yin Tianyou.
Because when they were playing with the special effects, the two also played the role played by Yin Tianyou by the way.
As we all know, Zhou Xingchi filmed "Kung Fu" and "Shaolin Football", and the most talked about special effects are the protagonist's decisive battle with the Huoyun Evil God, as well as the decisive battle with the Devil Team.
The special effects make the whole battle thrilling, and then bring out the great feelings of the characters, which makes people cry.
This is the difference between Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark.
Tsui Hark's special effects are mainly to serve the story, while Chow Xingchi adds special effects to the movie to serve the characters.
For example, the special effects in Tsui Hark's "Di Renjie Tongtian Empire", the most impressive thing about the special effects in it is that it restores the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty. For the characters, there is not much foil.
Therefore, this time the two teamed up to create "Journey to the West", which perfectly complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses, integrating special effects and story characters.
However, this made Yin Tianyou suffer again.
Zhou Xingchi once filmed a very famous movie called "Journey to the West". This play is very cleverly based on the love story of Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy as the theme.
This time, Zhou Xingchi, as the producer, took a different approach and used Tang Seng as the protagonist to interpret a poignant love story.
In fact, in Zhou Xingchi's last "Journey to the West", the article that played Tang Seng fell in love with the demon hunter Shu Qi. But that love affair was platonic.
This time, Zhou Xingchi arranged a "past life" for Tang Seng, and in the previous life, Yin Tianyou and the **** princess talked about a vigorous love.
Looking at the entire mainland film industry, there are only a handful of actresses who can play opposite Yin Tianyou, either their level is not enough, or they are timid, after all, Yin Tianyou's identity is not trivial, if he smashes up when he plays a rival scene, what can he do.
Therefore, after some careful selection, the actress who was finally selected is definitely first-class in appearance, first-class in acting, and of course, first-class in popularity, she is a famous female star in China - Tang Wei!
As we all know, Tang Wei became famous by making movies directed by Ang Lee, and was banned in China for a while, and then made a comeback, winning huge popularity in China and South Korea.
Now Tang Wei, who has already married a wife, was invited to play with Yin Tianyou, which is absolutely suitable, first of all, her husband is Korean, secondly, she is very famous internationally, and finally, only she is worthy of playing with Yin Tianyou.
To be honest, although Tang Wei is very confident, she is not without pressure at all, she is also very nervous and excited about Yin Tianyou, a super celebrity, but his husband Kim Tae-yong gives her advice, don't be afraid, just treat him as your husband and my friend.
In fact, Yoon Cheon-woo and Kim Tae-yong have a really close relationship, they have filmed TV series and movies as partners and friends with each other, and now Kim Tae-yong's wife wants to cooperate with Yoon Cheon-woo, and he is really the only one who can cheer for his wife. (To be continued.) )
