Chapter 395 Go to China Propaganda - First Stop, the Ancient City of Xi'an!
"The Incredible Hulk" has been released for nearly a month, and in this month's time, "The Incredible Hulk" has achieved very good results, and the North American box office has exceeded 600 million, and the final North American box office results should be able to freeze at 630 million.
And on a global scale, this visual blockbuster has also achieved good results.
Especially in the Chinese film market, it unexpectedly achieved quite good box office results.
Jon was taken aback, and later made a sincere apology with Zhou Shaoming.
But Zhou Shaoming himself has other plans.
The release of "The Incredible Hulk" in China in August and September has already given fans the kind of visual shock they have never had before, and there is no doubt that the supernova film must have some fans in China.
Striking while the iron is hot, Zhou Shaoming thinks that it is time to bring his work "Fuse" to China to hype.
If the movie "Hulk" just let the audience know that Supernova can make such a high-level entertainment company.
Then, what Zhou Shaoming wants is to use the movie "Fuse" to make Chinese audiences fully recognize the strength of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company and earn brand and reputation in Chinese mainland.
Zhou Shaoming's ambition to be recognized in the Chinese film market in the short term can really be realized?
There are advantages, at least compared to other Hollywood big-name directors, Zhou Shaoming is Chinese, which is very advantageous.
But there are also disadvantages, that is, the style of Hollywood blockbusters does not seem to be well accepted by Chinese audiences in a short period of time.
But no matter what, Zhou Shaoming is willing to accept the challenge and needs to gain a head start for the long-term development of Supernova.
When he learned that Zhou Shaoming wanted to go to China to promote now, the other people in the company were a little different, especially Jon still had a lot of concerns. in the office. Jon said, "Zhou." Although "The Incredible Hulk" did achieve quite good box office results in the Chinese film market, it is still us who is still losing compared to the North American market. Now, you're spending a lot of money to go to China and hype "Fuse". Isn't that a bit overdone? ”
Zhou Shaoming looked at Jon's expression at this time and smiled.
After the last time he objected to the promotion of "The Incredible Hulk" in China, which caused some damage to the company, Jon apologized. But they are increasingly focusing on the Chinese market for supernova entertainment.
Zhou Shaoming said: ""Fuse" was originally a Hong Kong-style police film, if you don't go to China to hype, how can you be worthy of the Chinese audience? ”
Jon looked at the confident Zhou Shaoming and said, "I know this, but with 80 million publicity expenses, there is no need for such luxury." ”
Zhou Shaoming laughed and said: "How can there be a return without investment?" Don't you believe me? ”
Jon said helplessly: "When did I not believe you, but I am still very nervous, I don't know, can the movie "Fuse" earn back such a big investment in the Chinese market?" The investment in this film is really big, not to mention anything else. Just talking about these leading actors has to spend a lot of money, and you have to count the martial arts instructors, special effects departments, and so on."
Jon said pleadingly, "Just don't lose." Just don't lose. ”
Zhou Shaoming shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that you still don't have confidence in me. ”
Jon opened his eyes and quickly explained, "No, how could the movie you made not have a box office?" But there are still some worries. ”
Zhou Shaoming patted Jon beside him: "We'll see you in the future." If you're ready for a few days, give me a plan. ”
Zhou Shaoming believes in his own vision, and his heart is more looking forward to what kind of sensation the movie "Fuse" will cause in the Chinese market.
At this time, Jon, who heard Zhou Shaoming's order, couldn't help but take the frame of the mirror and said to Zhou Shaoming: "You can rest assured, this matter is on me." ”
On September 1st, there was still a month before the global release of "Fuse", and the post-production of "Fuse" was almost completed.
Zhou Shaoming's every move was warmly followed by the media, and when Zhou Shaoming first arrived in the ancient city of Xi'an, China, many media began to report on it.
"This time, I really feel that Smith Zhou's brain is in water, when "Fuse" is about to be released worldwide, he abandoned the important battlefield of North America and went to the Chinese market where there are no box office results at all, we don't need to look forward to it, no matter how "Fuse" is filmed, it is destined to end in a dismal ending." -- Kevin Clark, USA Today
"Smith Chow has once again done something that is simply unimaginable, and his failure has become a certainty, there is no doubt about it." - Kevin Reed, Los Angeles Times
"Something unexpected by people all over the world, looking at Hollywood blockbusters, who would pay too much attention to the Chinese film market? But Smith Chow went against the current, worrying about the box office performance of "Fuse", but he would have more or less expectations, after all, Smith Chow's talent was there. ―Mike Reed, Chicago Daily News
Christina's trip to China this time was with Zhou Shaoming, because the things in the company have now entered the formality, just leave it to Jon, it happens to accompany Zhou Shaoming.
Seeing these boring reports, Christina was angry, "I hate it, these people are too angry to talk." ”
Zhou Shaoming looked at Christina's flushed face, and she was so beautiful when she was angry, she couldn't help touching her face and said, "Why be angry about those boring things and hurt your body?" You don't look beautiful anymore. ”
Zhou Shaoming doesn't care what these media say at all? Because these media can't see the big situation at all, and since the filming of "Fuse" started, it has repeatedly made headlines in North America, does Zhou Shaoming still need to spend a lot of time to promote it in North America?
When "The Fuse" was filmed a few days ago, there was a poisoning incident of extras in the play, although it was a few months later, but when "The Fuse" determined the exact time of its global release.
These things about what happened to "Fuse" were moved to the media again, undoubtedly for the North American promotion of "Fuse".
plus Zhou Shaoming after filming "The Fuse". A thief chase was staged on the highway. makes people's eyes shine on Zhou Shaoming, a big-name director. I am looking forward to the release of "Fuse" even more.
With the news of the global release of "Fuse" on October 1, fans in North America are hot, when the audience has seen the magical movie "The Incredible Hulk".
Who doesn't look forward to Zhou Shaoming's "Fuse"? In such a situation, does Zhou Shaoming still need to spend a lot of time to promote it in North America with his own team?
This situation, even Zhou Shaoming did not expect.
Initially. Zhou Shaoming is thinking about how to arrange the publicity period of "Fuse" very appropriately, because the time is too tight.
Zhou Shaoming wanted to focus his promotion of "Fuse" on the film market in Asia, especially China.
But. In just one month, can you really promote "Fuse" in North America and Asia?
Obviously not, when Zhou Shaoming was still worried, he didn't expect Jon to remind Zhou Shaoming with a word.
Yes, in the past, when Zhou Shaoming was filming "The Fuse", there was some trouble caused by the poisoning incident and the arrest of car thieves, but now it is time to reap the rewards, and the two major news have made "The Fuse" accumulate a lot of popularity.
It is also on this basis that Zhou Shaoming had an idea and decided to focus on promoting China!
Over time. The posts of these two things have sunk, so Zhou Shaoming wants these two posts to float in front of people again. That's not a very simple thing.
When two incidents about "Fuse" resurfaced in front of people, Zhou Shaoming launched a promotional video for "Fuse" and announced the time of global release.
When Jason Statham, Wu Jing, Hugh. The shocking fighting effect of Jackman's three big men on the promotional video made the audience's eyes shine. On the same day, the number of hits on the online "Fuse" promotional video exceeded 150,000.
Zhou Shaoming looked at such a number of clicks, and couldn't help but sneer, and even Jon on the side admired the five-body throw.
Netizen Jack said: I have never looked forward to such a movie so much, just hearing about Director Smith Chow's courage to catch thieves makes people's blood boil, and I look forward to the "Fuse" movie he made even more.
Anonymous netizens left a message: Although I have never seen the movie made by director Smith Chow, I often hear people around me talk about the movies he made, and I watched the promotional film "Fuse" in boredom, wow! It's so shocking, it's the first time I've seen such a fierce fight scene, I'm looking forward to it!
Netizen Nike left a message: I have always been a big fan of Smith Chow, but I have watched all the movies he has made, and when I heard that his new "Fuse" promotional film has come out, I can't help but watch it. I really didn't disappoint myself, and I kept praying in my heart that time would come soon, and there was still a month to go, and I was really going to die.
The number of clicks on "Fuse" on the Internet and the messages of netizens gave the media a resounding slap in the face.
"Not only has a genius for filmmaking, but also has a market mind, Smith Zhou once again put everyone into a state of surprise and exclamation, and such a well-planned "Fuse" will definitely have the potential to surpass the box office results of "I Am Legend". New york times
Christina frowned and said, "Is there one?" Is it really that ugly for me to look angry? ”
Zhou Shaoming said with a serious look: "Just look in the mirror yourself." ”
When Christina was really about to take out the mirror to look, she realized that Zhou Shaoming was playing with herself, and said to Zhou Shaoming who was sitting next to her: "Ignore you." ”
Christina looked out of the window of the car and asked a little strangely, "Why, we chose the city of Xi'an for our first stop?" “
Zhou Shaoming took a puff of his cigar and said to Christina: "Didn't you just say that you ignored me, why did you take the initiative to talk to me now." “
Christina was coquettish for a while, grabbed Zhou Shaoming's arm, and asked, "Say it!" ”
Zhou Shaoming spit out a smoke ring and said to Christina: "The reason why I came to the city of Xi'an in the first battle is, of course, to promote "Fuse", but also to visit the scenery of the ancient city and see the grandeur of the terracotta warriors. ”
Christina pouted and said, "Don't lie to me. I don't know you yet. You must have something else to do. Hurry up. ”
Suddenly, the car stopped, and Zhou Shaoming said to Christina: "If you want to know, get out of the car with me." ”
Christina knows Zhou Shaoming too well, and Zhou Shaoming is not a person without a purpose.
However, when Christina followed Zhou Shaoming to get out of the car, she saw the crowded scene on the road, and saw only one bridge in front of her.
Christina was stunned, and when she saw Zhou Shaoming walking forward, Christina couldn't help but run forward, took Zhou Shaoming's arm, and asked a little impatiently, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" ”
When the two walked to the bridge, Zhou Shaoming's eyes looked at the theater in front of him and said, "Look over there." ”
Still a little confused, Christina said, "What do you want me to see?" Is it just a dilapidated movie theater? ”
Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "From now on, this West China Cinema will change its owner, and it will be changed to Supernova Entertainment Film and Television." ”
Christina was stunned, Zhou Shaoming has achieved a lot of results after the start of the plan to acquire some small movie theaters in North America, how can he pay attention to China now?
You know, it is much more difficult to have your own shadow in China than in the United States, both in terms of money and time.
But although it takes time and money, Zhou Shaoming is still going on as planned.
Christina pouted and said, "When did you complete the acquisition?" ”
Zhou Shaoming said with a sly smile: "Just a short time ago, Jon called and the formalities were all done. ”
Christina took a deep breath, but she didn't expect Zhou Shaoming to buy this theater company unknowingly while accompanying her.
Christina said, "So what do you plan to do in the future?" ”
Zhou Shaoming said without hesitation: "Still in accordance with the requirements of our Supernova Entertainment Company for theaters, we have begun to renovate all the theaters of this theater company, you know, this theater can have more than 200 theaters in China, and there are few theaters in China with such a scale." ”
Christina looked at the proud Zhou Shaoming beside her, although she was a little helpless, but she also understood that with the development of Supernova Entertainment Company, the company is very eager for the theater.
Christina looked at the dense crowd on the bridge and asked, "Where is this?" Why are there so many people in Xi'an? (To be continued.) )
