Chapter 365: Independence Day PK Godzilla
Chapter 365 "Independence Day" PK "Godzilla"
The Global Chinese Wushu Competition came to an end with unexpected success.
The success of this session has also accumulated a wealth of experience for the next one. Although it is held every two years, there are occasional performances and fighting matches.
After the global martial arts competition, the popularity and influence of Chinese kung fu in the world have reached a higher height. The other boxing techniques were a little out of breath. For a long time, it has a lot to do with what unlimited fighting tournaments Japan, South Korea and Thailand are going to hold.
The purpose is naturally to save some of the reputation and market that have been impacted by Chinese kung fu.
And the best way to save reputation and the market is naturally to step on the Chinese kung fu that is now in full swing. However, Zhang Yi does not think that the combination of the martial arts circles of the three countries can suppress Chinese kung fu.
Nowadays, Chinese kung fu is not what it was in the previous life, and after Zhang Yi's mixing, many lost things have emerged. Moreover, what was supposed to be lost is now developing rapidly.
Zhang Yi wanted to take Zhou Huimin to the mainland, but he had to postpone it until next year. At the end of this year, Zhang Yi has to go to the United States. "Independence Day" was released, a film written and invested by Zhang Yi, and it was not good for him not to attend. Because the role of the president in this movie is played by George W. Bush.
Of course, Zhang Yi went to the premiere, not just because of George W. Bush. After all, it is he who asks Zhang Yi now, not Zhang Yi who asks him.
Go, naturally, to cheer for "Independence Day".
The production of "Independence Day" was actually completed long ago. just chose to be released in the Christmas file, which is more powerful for the box office. Of course, the main reason is that he sniped Columbia Pictures' monster movie "Godzilla"!
It's no secret in Hollywood that Columbia and Polar Pictures are fighting each other. Moreover, Zhang Yi's filming of "Independence Day" and sniping Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla" is also a well-known thing.
Now, both films are released on the same day. Naturally, it caused a great deal of conversation.
Which is better or worse. Whoever wins or loses, countless people are looking forward to it.
Zhang Yi and the Japanese martial arts world, the Japanese foundation, those things are like open secrets. The business competition on the surface, and some shady firefights in the dark, have been said by the media to be the first and the best.
Whether it's commercial and financial competition. is still fighting in secret, it seems that Zhang Yi has the advantage. On the bright side of the commercial competition, the Japanese martial arts hall was hit by Zhang Yi's Guoshu Building, and it has withered a little miserably. And the market for the products of those consortia has also been hit by the products of Zhang Yi's industries.
As for the fight in the shadows, that's not to mention. Many of the leaders of those consortia died, and a lot of bonuses were invested, and mercenaries were hired. As a result, he was wiped out by the mercenaries in Zhang Yi's hands. As for that, take the bonus. The killer who wanted to assassinate Zhang Yi has long since disappeared and does not dare to show his face.
Now, the battle over the film has entered the white heat, and neither film company is vegetarian. There is no shortage of funds in hand, and the publicity is amazing.
The media is even more noisy about these two films. But. Big media, especially the American media, is biased towards Zhang Yi's film.
"Godzilla" is clearly a remake of a Japanese monster movie from decades ago. Originally, the Japanese bought Columbia Pictures, which had the trademark of the Statue of Liberty in the United States. It has already stung the self-esteem of Americans. At this time, I don't know how many Americans are looking forward to "Godzilla" being beaten down by "Independence Day".
In contrast, Zhang Yi previously made a purely American movie, which interpreted the American spirit extremely well, and swept the Oscars, which was recognized by almost all Americans.
And now the film written by him is also deeply imprinted by the United States. And even the name is so American.
"Independence Day", although it is not about American independent films, is undoubtedly a large-scale production with a typical American taste.
Zhang Yi's own box office appeal is unmatched. He is the screenwriter of this movie, but he is the only person who has won the Oscar for Best Screenplay this year, and even won three Oscars for Best Screenplay at the age of 23.
Such a screenwriter has a very high appeal. And Zhang Yi's own legend, the fans he has above the world, is definitely a huge number.
"Godzilla" is congenitally deficient, and failure seems to be a foregone conclusion. But the Japanese don't have much else these days, and they have a lot of money.
Don't fight for good or bad, fight for breath. Regardless of whether the movie "Godzilla" can make money or not, as the first film after the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, it will make a name for itself and gain momentum.
So in terms of the intensity of publicity, "Godzilla" is more than one higher than "Independence Day".
"Colombian propaganda can be described as fatigue bombing. Nowadays, there is probably no one in the United States who does not know that there is such a film to be released. I've seen the finished film "Independence Day", and it's really good. But if you lose in publicity, you will inevitably have some regrets. ”
Bali Diller picked up Zhang Yi at the airport and said to Zhang Yi in the car on the way to the company.
"They are stupid when they use money to smash. We don't have to do that. Nowadays, which media mentions "Godzilla" and does not mention "Independence Day" in passing? Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Godzilla has invested more than 100 million yuan, and now it has spent so much publicity money, I estimate that it will be difficult for them to recover the cost." If we can yin them once, we can yin them again. What's not good to shoot, shoot "Godzilla"! ”
Zhang Yi remembered that after the release of this movie, it caused a lot of monster fans to spray.
Neither word-of-mouth nor box office can compare with "Independence Day". Although both films have advanced a lot of time, Zhang Yi believes that there is not much difference between the two.
Before the premiere, Zhang Yi also watched the finished film of "Independence Day", although the actors changed some, there was not much difference in the film. There are even some scenes that surpass the original, and of course some are not as good as the original.
But on the whole, it's pretty much the same.
As for "Godzilla", Zhang Yi naturally hasn't watched it, and he doesn't plan to watch it. Because he really didn't have much interest in that movie.
On December 20, 90, the two movies "Independence Day" and "Godzilla" were released at the same time, and fans are still looking forward to it.
The two movies premiered, and each invited a lot of celebrities. And there is no doubt that many more people go to the premiere of "Independence Day" than to "Godzilla".
Moreover, even in terms of the number of media, there are many more people who go to "Independence Day" than "Godzilla".
No way, who made Zhang Yi too attractive to the media. And this may be one of the reasons why Zhang Yi participated in the premiere of "Independence Day".
Zhang Yi is naturally the most dazzling focus of those who participated in the premiere. He is not only the focus of those celebrities, but also the focus of media interviews.
It was not Bali Diller who attended with Zhang Yi, but his soy sauce apprentice Swarzenegger.
Today, like Zhang Yi, he is wearing a Tang suit, stepping on cloth shoes, and smiling, although he does not have Zhang Yi's elegant temperament, but he has a unique temperament.
However, together with Zhang Yi, it seems a little nondescript to be set off.
After walking on the red carpet, he seemed to realize this and immediately regretted it.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang. Will "Independence Day," which you wrote, beat Columbia Pictures' Godzilla? A reporter asked aloud.
"Defeated? These two words will only appear when you meet an opponent. So, I can't answer this question. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"What does Mr. Zhang mean, is Colombia's "Godzilla" not worthy of being your opponent of "Independence Day" of Polar Films?" When the reporter finally heard it, he was immediately excited, this was a breaking point. Zhang Yi didn't answer directly just now. But sharper than a direct answer.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just stating a fact. Zhang Yi still said with a smile.
Explain a fact, and Zhang Yi's meaning could not be clearer. What he meant was that Godzilla was not worthy of being an antagonist to Independence Day.
Not even an opponent, naturally there is no talk of the word "defeat".
This is a kind of red fruit fruit disdain!
