Chapter 464: Breaking the Game
Rao is Yan Qingyu thought that he already knew the huge influence of computers, but when Shi Nansheng took a detailed report and handed it to him, he realized in a trance that he had almost missed something that might cause the whole world to change.
Little did he know that one-third of households in the United States already had a home computer.
He didn't know that EMAIL, which is a fast-moving mail that is cheaper than the telegraph, has been born in the United States for nearly 20 years, and now it has become a must-have for the work, life, study and even entertainment of the vast majority of people, including ordinary white-collar workers and even students in the United States.
What Yan Qingyu couldn't forgive the most was that he didn't know that on the Internet, there was already an online database of movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, video games, and movie productions.
Last year, Col Needham and others were in the Usenet newsgroup at rec.arts.movies to film and exchange information.
They created a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) containing biographies of actors, directors and filmmakers who have passed away.
And now, their FAQ has included nearly 10,000 movies and TV series.
Moreover, this number jΓΉ library has appeared in the campus network of major colleges and universities in the United States.
Back in 1986, NSF set off an upsurge in Internet connectivity as NSF established five supercomputing centers in the United States to provide powerful computing power to all users, especially universities.
The campus network has become a channel that has changed the way modern college students communicate.
"Whew!"
After exhaling a long breath, Yan Qingyu pinched her eyebrows a little depressedly.
He was really not very familiar with the "new" things like the Internet and computers.
That's right, this can be regarded as a thing that can be popularized to thousands of households in the United States, for Yan Qingyu, for Hong Kong. For China, and even for the whole of Asia, I am afraid that it is a relatively trendy novelty.
However, this is something that must not be let go.
After turning his heart thousands of times, Yan Qingyu shook his head and pressed this thought into his heart, this is not something he can think about now.
It is not a question of funds and talents, but the Internet, a communication channel that originated from military services, and the United States will definitely not let a Chinese make it big at the source.
So, even if he wants to be a part of the event. At present, it can only be carried out in the form of equity participation at most.
However, now that his eyes are dark, he has no clue, and even the inspiration in his mind does not remind him to make any choice.
Yan Qingyu also put the project on hold for the time being, but he found a publicity channel that was completely different from the TV platform and the print media platform.
The Internet, especially campus networks in colleges and universities across the United States.
There are many universities in the United States. Since the Puritans, who immigrated to the United States more than 300 years ago, founded Harvard University, the nation's first university, American higher education has inherited the tradition of old European universities such as Cambridge University and Oxford University in the United Kingdom.
Today, there are more than 2,600 four-year universities that award bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
There are more than 15 million college students in the United States this year.
This number then radiates to their families, friends, and classmates at other times. It can almost wipe out the entire population of the United States.
The most important thing is that most of the American colleges and universities have college movie screening halls.
Although the ticket price is only two-thirds or even less than the normal fare, one-half. But as long as these college students are caught, it can be said that the entire film market has been seized.
Most importantly, it has gained the reputation of young people. You can basically get the influence that Yan Qingyu needs most.

"Tom, the focus of your propaganda is no longer on talk shows on major TV stations, but on going to major colleges and universities in the United States. Our gimmick is the game that the three of us played last time, to find the connotation. Whoever is looking for the most and the most complete will be the smartest and coolest! What's more, we'll set up big prizes! Fly on a luxury private jet and visit Hong Kong! β
Yan Qingyu smiled at Tom. Hanks said, and Tom looked a little strange when he heard this.
He scratched his hair and said with some hesitation: "Xiao Yu, this ...... This kind of propaganda tactic seems to ...... Like, our movie is a big cast, this ......"
Tom. Hanks is a kind-hearted person, and he is not embarrassed to directly say that Yan Qingyu is messing around.
Yan Qingyu explained with a smile: "In addition to this, we have other ways to publicize, but you don't have to worry about this aspect, just do your thing well." I promise, this time it will be a surprise for those people. β
Tom. Hearing this, Hanks blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Qingyu, and said solemnly: "Xiao Yu, I believe in you." It's just that Forrest Gump is the best film I've ever made, and I really hope it succeeds. I believe that this must be a film that can go down in the annals of film history. β
Yan Qingyu knew that he was still not at ease, so he laughed and said, "Tom, I understand your worries, but you can rest assured. I watched the edited movie three times in a row, Tom, and I promise that this film will go down in the history of world cinema. There are no secrets in Hollywood, and you must know some rumors that are not good for us here.
In the United States, for some unspeakable reasons, we can't get a good schedule, we can't get a good publicity platform, and we can't contact all the popular TV programs. Tom, we've been targeted, we've been sniped and even banned.
But we will not be afraid, we will not compromise, and we will not surrender. So, I found a new path of publicity for our film. We go to colleges and universities to give lectures and speeches, which is just one of the ways.
Equally important, our people are planning to communicate. Believe me, what we're doing is something that's going to change Hollywood. β
Looking at Yan Qingyu, whose face was as handsome as an elf prince, full of confidence, Tom was in a heavy mood. Somehow, Hanks suddenly became happy.
As Yan Qingyu said, Hollywood is a broken sieve that shows the wind everywhere, and it can't keep any secrets.
The unfavorable schedule of "Forrest Gump" is rare throughout the 100-year history of Hollywood.
Because it is not in line with the principle of profit maximization.
And the movie was banned by major media channels, and it was even more popular.
As the star of the movie, Tom. Hanks has been affected a lot lately.
Americans are not as reserved as Orientals, and they should be made fun of when they are having fun.
When the movie was finished, Tom. Hanks has advertised everywhere that this is the best film he has ever made.
Now that this situation has become a situation, how can he not be without pressure and resentment...... (To be continued......)
