Chapter 212: Retreat is Advance

As for Europe and the United States, whether they can find a film company willing to release it is still two words!

But in Yue Song's eyes, in addition to the fact that Devil May Cry is definitely a big hit in Japan, the real big head should be placed in Europe and the United States - more precisely, North America.

Yue Song has long been prepared for this, he will fight unscrupulously in this play, completely enjoy it, and at the same time make the "action special effects" of this play more perfect than in the game!

For Lao Meilai who likes freshness, a movie like this, even if it is a typical cult film, can definitely make a fortune!

It just took this opportunity to let his skills be completely displayed in front of the world, instead of just being a "new kung fu star" as he is now.

For Yue Song, even the three words "Little Martial God" are not enough to reflect his true value, only the three words "God of Kung Fu" are his ultimate goal!

What Yue Song longed for was the title of "God of Kung Fu" recognized by the world.

What he has to do at this stage is to take one step at a time, make rapid progress on the basis of steady and steady, and let the world truly realize that a super kung fu superstar that has never been seen before is about to be born!

But this is all for later, and at the moment, Yue Song is still discussing with the old devil Junichi Moto about the start of Devil May Cry filming.

Junichi Shomoto hopes to postpone it a little longer so that Shochiku Co., Ltd. can be fully prepared, after all, for Shochiku, it has been many years since a real drama has been filmed.

This move was in Yue Song's arms, and he didn't plan to start filming this drama too early. After all, his current popularity base is a little weak, and he still needs to ferment and precipitate for a while, and after the second part of the martial arts trilogy: Wuxia - The Rise of Heroes, as well as the full release of the man-wolf war and the teleporter, it is foreseeable that his popularity and popularity will be a blowout, especially in Asia.

On this basis, the filming of Devil May Cry will surely bring him the support of a large number of super game fans.

Don't underestimate these people who like to play games, most of them are willing to invest money in games, once Yue Song can highly repay the fight scene in Devil May Cry. and even form a transcendence on the basis of the original. Then the supporters of this drama will inevitably form a fixed group.

Although only a handful of films based on roaming games have been successful in recent years, Yue Song still insists that in the following years. A movie based on a roaming game. There will be a new life. Regain the favor of the audience.

In comparison, he has the upper hand in shooting this kind of movie!

Whether it's "CG special effects" or "action stunts". Yue Song has a natural advantage, and even a sense of realism that can surpass Hollywood, which is his advantage, and he needs to make use of it.

In fact, Yue Song came to Shochiku Co., Ltd. today, the original purpose was not pure, on the one hand, it was really to cooperate with Shochiku, after all, eggs can't be put in one basket, as the old saying goes, it's dead.

On the other hand, it is also because of Yue Song's warning to Dongbao: Don't think that buddies can't play without you, in this place in Japan, there are people who are willing to cooperate with buddies!

The quick effect of this move also greatly exceeded Yue Song's expectations.

Less than a few minutes after he left Shochiku on his front foot, Hideyuki Takai, the president of Toho, called him.

Yue Song coped with a few words a little impatiently, and quickly hung up the phone, and at the same time secretly laughed in his heart, it seems that several companies were far from being as friendly and harmonious as they seemed on the surface, at least they all had inside lines in secret, otherwise how could Takai Hideyuki know his itinerary immediately?

However, when he came to Shochiku, he also frightened Hideyuki Takai, thinking that he had suddenly changed his mind and was ready to cooperate with Shochiku.

To say that the filming of Rogue Kenshin is definitely the top priority of Toho and even the Japanese film industry this year, and the investment of 4 billion yen can also be called a large amount, in case this matter is messed up, I believe that whether it is Shochiku or several other film companies, they will be happy to take over.

After all, everyone knows that this drama is not easy to film, and the director has it, but there are very few people who can perfectly reproduce the incredible fight scenes in the comics.

With Yue Song's current popularity and popularity, he is definitely the best action director in this play, but to say that he is directly the director, Takai Hideyuki is still unwilling, which is also the main reason why he has been implementing delaying tactics before.

As soon as the situation changed now, Yue Song ran to Songzhu in a blink of an eye, so of course Hideyuki Takai had to adjust his strategy immediately and invite him back again.

It was on the phone that the dignified President Toho changed his previous tough tone and began to become undisciplined, and all kinds of sycophants and other sensual words came out as if he didn't want money, as if the unhappiness between the two just now had never happened at all.

Yue Song couldn't be as shameless as him, so he naturally sent him away first and asked him to wait for a while, until he couldn't bear this torment and had to call again, this time was a good opportunity for Yue Song to slaughter the fat sheep.

In the next few days, Yue Song lived a happy life in Masami Nagasawa's apartment, while patiently waiting for the wind released by Shochiku to see what Takai Hideyuki would do.

At the same time, he also kept an eye on martial arts - the box office growth trend from scratch through Dai Wentao's report from the capital.

On January 16, 2006, the box office statistics for the third week of the martial arts debut came out.

The mainland box office in a single week is 45 million, a drop of only about 15%!

In three weeks, the total box office in the mainland is 230 million, and the 250 million set by the hero is close at hand!

By this time, discerning people have already seen that the first film of martial arts is actually stepping on Wuji's upper position, and at the same time, it has also pushed Chen Kaige to the bottomless abyss.

The day before the box office statistics of the third week of martial arts came out, Wuji had been fully painted in the mainland on January 15.

In the past month, Wuji has experienced great joys and sorrows and ups and downs, and it has also made the media and the audience watch a good show.

From the box office exceeding 100 million in the first week, to the big shrinkage in the second week, the direct decline exceeded 70%, until the last week only increased by millions.

In the end, Wuji only got a "pitiful" 150 million.

That's only about half of the ultimate goal that Wuji had set at the beginning.

Originally, Brother Chen Kai was already silent, China Film suffered a lot of losses this time, and he didn't plan to sing praises for Wuji anymore, but the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, in the mainland entertainment industry in recent days, except for the martial arts that came out like a box office bomb - starting from scratch, only the video about Wuji is constantly fermenting.

Regarding the bloody case caused by a steamed bun, Yue Song originally laughed out loud after reading it, and quickly forgot about it, but he didn't expect that the influence of this "bloody case" had just begun.

In just ten days or so, the negative impact of the bloody case on Wuji has been overwhelming, no matter how much it is covered up, it will be useless, even Yue Song is secretly frightened when he sees it, and feels that he needs to make some preparations to deal with the Internet tide that he may encounter in the future.

This bloody video is even worse for Wuji, so why not warn Yue Song not to underestimate the power of those netizens?

Although the number of netizens in the mainland is skyrocketing with the development of the Internet, the traditional media and filmmakers still seem to underestimate the power and voice of netizens.

If the video of the murder had not been spontaneously disseminated among netizens, it would never have been so influential that even traditional media reported on it.

There have been many reports, and everyone's interest in the steamed bun bloody case has surpassed that of Wuji, in the end, what the steamed bun said is the real thing, and Wuji has become a fake foil, and Chen Kaige and his Wuji will not be able to turn over.

Dai Wentao told Yue Song that the Wuji crew was very annoyed by this, and even Chen Kaige, who was far away in Germany and was preparing to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital because of this incident. ”

Yue Song laughed directly when he heard it, it's hard to say who is more shameless, anyway, Brother Chen Kai's move is definitely a stinky move, he can be sure of this.

The general public has a mentality of favoring the weak, and it is foreseeable that the more Chen Kaige scolds fiercely, the more popular the video of the steamed bun bloody case will become.

Yue Song sympathized with this, but if he had the opportunity to secretly step on a few feet, he would definitely not be relentless.

Driven by a certain bad taste mentality, Yue Song immediately instructed Dai Wentao that if Chen Kaige and Zhongying really planned to sue Hu Ge, the author of the video, they would send someone to send him a sum of money, so that he must hold on, and he must not take half a step back, let alone apologize!

With Yue Song's character, not to mention jealousy and hatred - at least he is not a good bird himself, and he has no position to say such a thing - but at least he is an acute person who is too late to take revenge overnight, and a while ago, the media collectively spread rumors under the influence of Yan Ershao, so that a group of people, including the three major directors, took turns to fight, and almost drowned him with saliva and spitting Xingzi.

Later, although Yan Ershao clarified the matter through many media, the negative impact of this incident also existed objectively, such as the soul and mental power in Yue Song's divine consciousness was reduced by nearly 10,000 in just a few days, which was his most sensitive matter, so he wrote down this account.

All those directors who have made a bad evaluation of him or not, have been silent throughout the whole incident, whether it is before or after, they are like dumb, even if the media has clarified for him, these people still don't say a word, why do they need to say anything?

Obviously, Yue Song is now an out-and-out outlier in the film industry!

Maybe many media outlets were spreading rumors before, but what they said may not be what these directors are talking about. (To be continued......)
