Chapter 384: Fantasy Shines into Reality

The movie-watching frenzy caused by the two episodes of the prequel "Magic Apprentice" "Turmoil, Turmoil in the Magic Kingdom" swept the whole world, on the one hand, because this film has been expected, on the other hand, it is also because of the expansion of the world film market, especially the development of the Chinese film market, so that the box office has an explosive growth, just from the number jù, the Chinese film market has gradually surpassed the box office of the Japanese film market, ranking second in the world film market, Therefore, Shen Zhenghui's identity as a Chinese is particularly convenient, and the films he directs will receive special treatment when they enter the Chinese film market, of course, in return, Shen Zhenghui will also help promote China's good films to overseas markets. "The Return of the Great Sage" is the most typical example, this movie broke a number of records of domestic animated films, broke the record of Shen Zhenghui, who seemed invincible before, and then even landed in the Taiwan market through the relationship between Guò and Japan, making the Taiwanese audience shout that the animation level of Ah Gongzai has reached this point, and it is about to surpass Taiwan!

In fact, Taiwanese films have reached a dead end, let alone the category of animated films. But sometimes the dead end is the way to survive, and since the market has reached this point, it doesn't matter who gets in and gets in two feet. Chairman Chai decided to let his contracted author direct his own work and find a group of young people to direct it.

In fact, the Taiwanese are doing a very good job in youth dramas, "Blue Gate", which talks about lesbian love and another small and fresh story about gay love, is really very small and fresh, but it is in line with the aesthetics of the Taiwanese, in this regard, the Taiwanese are naturally better than the mainland in the choice of themes. Of course, this is not enough. Because of the growth of the new generation, the film industry has gradually become a fan, which means that sometimes the importance of the film itself is not as important as the importance of the movie actors. This is for Zhou Tianwang's frequent filming, Liu Tianwang takes on bad movies, Taiwanese are one step ahead with Xiao Xianrou, and the mainland will be able to catch up immediately. In terms of size, China and the United States are the unrivaled giants of the film industry, Japan is a bit of a mistake in the tech tree, Indians tend to entertain themselves, and Europeans are torn apart. Because of Pandora's competitive advantage, China, the United States and Japan are one step ahead in the film industry.

As a result, the first and second episodes of "Turmoil, Turmoil in the Magic Kingdom" have been influenced by the opportunities of a certain era and have become a huge landmark event of the times. With Sony's assistance, the film was released simultaneously around the world, with the first episode being released two months after the release of the next, and at the same time the Pandora format film was released later. Those who thought they should be holding back to wait until the release of the Pandora-format movie to enjoy their own theaters, ended up not being able to stand the influence of publicity and friends and stepped into the cinema, of course. Because movie tickets are not expensive, if you watch a movie in the cinema, you think it's good. Then buying the Pandora format will naturally make up your mind.

So, even a crisis-stricken country like the United States has unexpectedly reaped remarkable attendance – and of course, it seems to be some common sense that the entertainment industry is booming during the financial crisis. In China, they seem to have an innate penchant for subverting the common sense that their country has long formed.

"So. Did the global box office reach 100 million on the first day? Mitsumi Fukuda looked at the box office number reported and was slightly surprised, "The reputation is very good, so it doesn't seem too great to continue to maintain such popularity and reach the global box office of 1 billion." This is only the first part to be released, if the second part can replicate the same box office trajectory," she looked at Shen Zhenghui, "you want to put James . Cameron squeezed off the second place. ”

"Spielberg has the same pressure." The secretary on the side reported, "We have received definite news, he has announced that he will shoot his new film "Lincoln" this year. Daniel. Wear. Lewis will star in Lincoln. Miss Secretary mentioned, "But this play may be for the Oscars." ”

"So the world Mr. Spielberg isn't worried about his box office record?"

"I don't think he really has the energy to do it, he's sixty years old, right? Confucius said: Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and sixty ears are obedient. He should know where he is. ”

"Very good, Miss Aota, thank you for your analysis, you can go out first." Mitsumi Fukuda said to her secretary. The other party nodded and walked out with a stack of Wen Jiàn in his arms.

"New secretary?"

"Not bad, right?" Mitsumi Fukuda glanced at the back of the person who walked out, "We want to celebrate in advance, maybe you will be ranked first in the all-time box office charts?" ”

"It's still early!" Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows, "But such a box office figure can probably attract Colombia to continue to invest in follow-up filming, right?" ”

"I think the specific decision will have to wait until the sales of the Pandora format come out." Mitsumi Fukuda glanced at Shen Zhenghui, "So, you and your wife just threw the child to your parents and came to Japan again?" ”

"She and I have to work," Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "but Japan, you know, is certainly not suitable for children." ”

"Oh, speaking of which," Mitsumi Fukuda looked at the ceiling, "it's clear that you and Liu Xin can stay and work in China, right?" ”

"The conditions are okay, but if I stay in China, it will be very annoying, and the same is true for Liu Xin." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands and said, "After all, if you stay in China, many people can't push back and forth, and for Liu Xin, his parents are a big problem." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda's eyes widened.

"Her mother probably thinks that her current status and achievements can be used as something to support her, and her attitude towards her is a little too condescending," Shen Zhenghui sighed, "She wants to use her daughter's status to suppress her ex-husband." ”

"Very good idea." Mitsumi Fukuda raised her eyebrows.

"His father hopes to restore his relationship with her, and he also hopes that we can promote her brother in the future."

"Wow," Mitsumi Fukuda couldn't help it, "Actually, it's all for you!" Compared to your fame, his father's real estate industry is nothing at all! ”

"I can't say that, I'm just a name." Shen Zhenghui said.

"Forget it. According to publicly available sources, the box office score of your two films is enough to put you in the billionaire ranks, and they are measured in dollars. The corners of Fukuda Mitsumi's mouth curled slightly, "If you really count, you are also in the top ten in the list of Chinese richest people." ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little helpless. "Personally, I don't think there's any point," he craned, "but when I was in China, I always felt like a fat pig, and I always felt that someone was going to kill me and eat meat." ”

"You're too worried," Fukuda Mitsumi said, "not to mention your worldwide reputation, just to say that with your relationship with Miss Wang Anping, who in the mainland will move you." ”

Shen Zhenghui shook his head slightly, "Their family? Those who are more powerful than their family may not be able to keep themselves. ”

"Oh? Is Miss Wang's family in trouble? ”

"Not really." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that every five years and ten years, the curtain of the metabolic drama will be opened, and this time the big theater that catches up with the world stage, maybe the scene in Chinese mainland is particularly exciting." ”

"Ah, speaking of which." Mitsumi Fukuda seemed to remember something, "Anyway, have you completed the transformation of the film "Japan Sinks"?" ”

"I finished it when I was making "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Shen Zhenghui bared his teeth. "I didn't like the story too much, so when I was making zuò. Make the special effects shots particularly eye-catching. ”

"To weaken the plot?" Mitsumi Fukuda muttered.

Shen Zhenghui did not respond, indicating acquiescence.

"Forget it, anyway, I didn't make this version of zuò to let them watch strange love plots."

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "I hope so." ”

The release of the sunken Pandora format in Japan contrasts with the reality of the nuclear power plant treatment that Japan is currently facing, creating a sense of wonder, as if cinema and reality are wonderfully intertwined in some magical way. Of course, this is perhaps a greater psychological trauma for the Japanese. Shen Zhenghui was able to experience this. It's like when he went to the China Pavilion at the World Expo and saw the so-called 3D earthquake propaganda video, he and his friends from the earthquake-stricken area felt uncomfortable. People who have experienced suffering are often reluctant to re-experience that feeling of suffering, facing reality is facing reality, and mental torture is mental torture. But Mitsumi Fukuda's actions may have their own significance. Shen Zhenghui didn't want to think about it.

However, the measures of the Japanese government in the disaster film and the measures of the Japanese government in the real disaster have formed a contrast like irony in a sense, especially when this ironic comparison is also the same comparison of the actions of neighboring countries when they suffered disasters, which is a greater spiritual blow to the Japanese people, so that public opinion is full of doubts about the release of the film "Japan Sinks" at this time in Kasuga. For creatures like humans, memory is a thing that is not reliable, especially for the Japanese.

Turning a blind eye, hearing without hearing, and pretending to be deaf and dumb seems to be their racial gift, and without the external beating of Yan zhòng, their self-consciousness in the future does not know how to interpret the Fukushima incident when reconstructing the history of consciousness. Although Kasuga seems to be doing a pretty good job in Japan, the bureaucrats who are afraid of taking responsibility at this time are deaf and dumb, and even fellow companies are not in a position to accuse Kasuga of selling his reputation at this time. After all, the current Kasuga is a behemoth, its strong economic power is turning it into a monster, it represents Nara and Tokyo devouring the labor force in the Fukushima area, Nara is the most active area to resettle the victims of the Fukushima area, Kasuga companies in Nara recruit a large number of people to expand, Nara and Kasuga can be expected to usher in a peak of development in the coming period, Nara's wood processing will also usher in a peak of development, other places are not unaware that for Japan manpower is a good resource and wealth, But none of them have the financial resources and capital to do such a thing. Who would have thought that after Abe came to power, he would do such a frenzied thing as the depreciation of the exchange rate? Mitsumi Fukuda has long been planning for Nara's future tourism and export processing industries.

Of course, in addition to "Japan Sinks", which upset the Japanese, the newly released "Turmoil, Turmoil in the Magic Kingdom" has also caused discussion in reality, given the political turmoil caused by a series of local regime instability in the Middle East. Everyone found some kind of metaphor in the movie. The Magic Emperors in the Magic Kingdom who pursue immortality are considered to represent the Middle East and North Africa region as unobtrusive, dictatorial and lifelong rulers, and the retrograde actions of the Magic Emperors are considered to be a metaphor for the cruel rule of those dictatorships, so the local people's pursuit of democracy and freedom and their resistance to dictatorship are also overshadowed by a layer of romance in the movie. It's a pity that unlike the handsome magicians, archers, warriors, monsters and other characteristic rebels in the movie, the rebels in reality are a little too unromantic.

Shen Zhenghui doesn't know who started to use his movies to make such publicity on a large scale, but it is obvious that such publicity is so effective that many countries in the Middle East have not allowed the release of "Riot, Turmoil in the Magic Kingdom".

Forget it, if it doesn't be released, it won't be released, anyway, the situation in your place is turbulent, and whether movie tickets can be sold is also a problem. Shen Zhenghui was relieved to think so, if you imagine this movie as a color revolution film, it is not impossible to explain it like this, but if you think that people in the wizarding world also pursue democracy and freedom, it is simply a joke. But the current propaganda is that although this propaganda idea seems very naïve, but the opponent it is aimed at seems to be even more naïve than it, and it really did such an act of banning the release of the movie, but the more it is banned, the more interested everyone becomes, and even those who can't see this kind of meaningful connection at the beginning, and then watch the movie again with a certain sense of expectation, and feel that they are full of the power of resistance.

The speed of propaganda in this world is like the speed of light, and soon Shen Zhenghui received a call from an official of the Film Bureau he was familiar with, and the other party asked hesitantly, "Director Shen, isn't your movie promoting the so-called revolution and resistance?" ”

No way? Shen Zhenghui was a little dumbfounded, did you actually sit down and bring yourself into the Magic Kingdom and the Magic Emperor's side?

The other party lowered his voice, "You'd better explain this, at least make an explanation to show that you don't mean that, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the top." ”

I was really getting shot while lying down. Shen Zhenghui was a little depressed, "This, hasn't the novel been released a long time ago?" I'm completely following the novel. ”

"This," the other party was a little embarrassed, "The main thing is that some people say that there are ten magic emperors in the magic kingdom, and this is not a magic emperor at all, it is **." ”

"Nonsense, isn't there only 9?"

"Isn't there a traitor among the Emperor of Magic?"

"Can't you explain it to me after reading the novel?"

"It doesn't work if I say it," the other lowered his voice, "It's better if you come forward and explain, how do we know what you think if you don't say anything?" ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little helpless, "Didn't I come out to speak without three hundred taels of silver here?" This kind of propaganda should not be said at all. ”

"This ......" the other party hesitated a little, "Why don't you come back, the leader wants to see you." ”

"Which leader?" Shen Zhenghui hurriedly asked.

"Uh,............ Vice-Chair. (To be continued......)
