Chapter 1268 - Brilliant Achievement
In the previous life, Qionghai Island was lively when it was built as a province, and other impressive things were that there were several waves of speculation that swept across the country.
One is that the reselling of cars is famous all over the country, and almost all powerful departments are involved, which also makes countless children of rich families and official families rush here like carp across the river. These people use all their means to smuggle cars and sell them to the whole country to make ill-gotten gains, so that many people have evil thoughts and just want to take illegal shortcuts to get rich.
The other is to puff up the bubble of real estate and land, speculate the wasteland and uninhabited real estate into sky-high prices, and then deceive people to take over, which makes the people of the whole country excited for a while, thinking that Qionghai Island is the cradle of the rich and a paradise for adventurers.
Indeed, there are countless people who have benefited from it, and there are not a few who have become rich. But it's more about the dreamers who are stuck in the mud. More people have become disappointed with this land, and many people have changed color when they talk about Qionghai.
Qionghai Island did these two eye-catching events, and then fell silent. Although there was a bit of a tavern and restaurant slaughtering tourists, it was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, after all, there were a lot of stealing customers all over the country, and there was not only a lack of Qionghai, the ideological and moral standards of all places were declining, and Qionghai Island was just drifting with the tide. At least there is no Nanjing lady or something on Qionghai Island, which is not bad.
In this life, because Guo Zhuocheng is in charge here, it is naturally impossible for the corpse to be a vegetarian meal, and there will be no reselling of cars, and some individuals or small groups engage in smuggling, which is a crime and a crime.
As for speculating in real estate and land, in the previous life, it was because of the explicit or implicit support of the Qionghai Island Zhèng government, and in this life, Guo Zhuocheng would never give them a side of the net, and they couldn't be fried at all.
However, because of Guo Zhuocheng's efforts, Qionghai Island has still attracted the attention of the people of the whole country and even the whole world, which is because of the rapid economic development of Qionghai Island and the rapid improvement of people's living standards; It is because of the rapid and large-scale infrastructure construction of the zhèng government; It is because of the beautiful natural environment and strong advertising campaign of Qionghai Island; It is because Qionghai Island successfully applied for the Olympic Games; It is also because a film "The Sinking of the Petrel" was filmed here with the natural scenery here as the background.
Although "The Sinking of the Petrel" has been set in theaters in the United States and North America, only a few theaters are still insisting on showing it when they see that the box office is still good, and most theaters have replaced them with new films. Even Maple Leaf Film Distribution itself only retains a third of its theater screenings, but the advertising effect it has achieved has been as brilliant as the box office value it has achieved, and it has surprised countless people and made them memorable.
"The Sinking of the Petrel" has achieved an unprecedented box office of two billion US dollars in the United States and North America, this figure even Guo Zhuocheng himself was stunned, but it is normal to think about it, you must know that "The Sinking of the Petrel" is a combination of the advantages of Hollywood blockbusters, which is equivalent to the screening of the popular "Titanic" nearly 20 years in advance, although the imitation in it is not so perfect, although some shooting skills still cannot be compared with "Titanic", but because of the advantage of time, Because everyone has not seen those techniques, they are naturally amazed by the audience, and naturally seduce countless viewers to watch them over and over again, so as to achieve this jaw-dropping result.
Countless critics still comment on the film as a milestone and ushering in a new era of cinema.
Most critics evaluate the film in a positive light, but there are also some sour critics who evaluate it in other ways, some saying that the film is opportunistic, not only imitating and borrowing from Hollywood in terms of shooting techniques, but also deliberately pandering to Americans in the choice of events and the choice of the protagonist.
The background of the events chosen in the film is World War II, and it is the U.S. military fighting the Japanese in the Pacific, which makes the audience feel a sense of pride when watching the movie. Secondly, the male protagonist chosen is a young American, this young man is very in line with the characteristics of young American rebellious, righteous, unworldly and loyal to love, which is very pleasing to American audiences, so that American audiences do not have the sense of estrangement from other Asian films or even European films.
Some people even elevate this film to the point that China's view of the U.S. military in World War II has undergone a fundamental change, and it has completely seen the tremendous role of the U.S. military in resisting Japanese fascism. You must know that in the past, China's government never publicized the US military's attack on the Japanese in the Pacific, and often said that the United States connived at Japan's invasion of China, and after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, the United States also exported crude oil, steel, rubber, and other strategic materials to Japan. At most, it is said that the US military was deceived by the Japanese, and it was not until Pearl Harbor broke out and the Japanese hit the Americans' homes that the US military began to resist.
It is precisely because the film has added so many things that Americans love, and the American audience is curious that Chinese can also make movies and shoot well, so more people watch it. These audiences include a lot of curious, scrutinizing audiences, and if China makes another film of similar quality, there will definitely not be so many audiences, because the audience's curiosity has been greatly reduced.
Guo Zhuocheng laughed at these sour comments, in fact, he laughed at all the comments, anyway, his purpose has been reached, anyway, many people in the world already know Qionghai Island, and know that Qionghai Island is very beautiful and an excellent tourist destination, which is enough.
In fact, he also recognized some of these negative comments, and felt that these negative comments were to the point, Guo Zhuocheng wrote this drama to cater to the American audience, which deliberately showed the US military positively, deliberately took the American rebellious teenager as the hero, and the people who fell into the water in the end were rescued by US warships, not with passing cargo boats, local fishing boats, and even in order to make the audience angry, in order to make the American audience proud, near the end of the movie, There was also a footage of a Japanese submarine sneaking up on a cruise ship being blown to pieces by the US Navy with depth charges.
If you want to make other people's money, you have to give them a little sweetness, right?
Because the film is mixed with so many American elements, Guo insisted on the premiere of the film in the United States, despite Pedro Almodóvar's objections, insisting that it should be shown in the United States and then moved elsewhere, rather than starting with Hong Kong, Macau and Europe in China. For the screening of this film, Guo Zhuocheng even bought the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, which is definitely a pioneering feat in the history of film, and no producer or distributor has dared to do so, even if they have the financial strength.
The result is that Guo won the bet, not only gained a huge box office, but also made a film distribution company in vain, especially with Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox Film Company to establish a strategic cooperative relationship, this is the best thing, in the future, whether it is to use American blockbusters to make money, or to help Chinese mainland films, Hong Kong films into the United States, North America, have a good foundation, Chinese films can also make money from foreigners.
Because of the success of "The Sinking of the Petrel" in the United States and North America, film distributors in Europe, Australia, South America, the Middle East and other places have asked for screenings, and of course Hong Kong and Macau have also made demands, and even Japan, which is the opposite object of the film, has also asked to buy copies - as long as there is money to be made, as long as the film is good-looking, it doesn't matter whether it is negative or positive.
This time it was not Pedro Almodóvar who wanted to be screened, but hundreds of times more than he had previously prepared to screen in cinemas. Moreover, you must know that before he begged others to screen, but now people are begging him to screen in turn, from passive to active, and the price or share is not the same as before.
Now Pedro Almodóvar admires Guo Zhuocheng so much, even some activities held in the American film industry have been pushed off, and Guo Zhuocheng has been entangled from time to time, with no other purpose, that is, I hope Guo Zhuocheng can write another drama for him, it doesn't matter if he invests or not, now not only does he make a lot of money, but also has money, and now there are many people waving money to ask him to invest, and some people even claim that as long as Guo Zhuocheng writes a play, as long as he Pedro Almodóvar shoots, he will invest as much as he wants, There is no limit, and the proportion of the share is as preferential as possible for him, the director, and Guo Shucheng, the screenwriter.
With the east wind of "The Sinking of the Petrel", and the theaters of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Fox Film Company, even if this new movie is not good, its box office revenue will not be bad, no matter what.
It's a pity that Guo Zhuocheng was very busy, Pedro didn't even have a chance to meet him, and waited on Qionghai Island for more than ten days, and he couldn't wait any longer before going to the United States to deal with things.
Affected by the film "The Sinking of the Haiyan", Qionghai Island is now almost overcrowded with tourists, and there are some problems related to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of tourists, which need to be solved by the government. This is also the reason why Guo Zhuocheng wants to go down to investigate and inspect in person. It's just that he can only spare half a day today, and there is still a highway groundbreaking ceremony to coordinate the demolition of the construction site.
Although part of the purpose of the construction of the expressway is also to facilitate the travel of tourists and facilitate tourists to visit the entire island, the problems reported by tourists such as poor accommodation conditions, few beds, and less food suitable for them to eat still cannot be solved.
At this time, Guo Zhuocheng's car was already approaching the vegetable market.
