Chapter 482: The First Bomb to Conquer the Wa Kingdom
On the first day of its release, "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" set off a storm in the entire Asian region.
In the mainland, this storm is high box office and high reputation; In regions and countries outside the mainland, it is a high reputation, a high reputation beyond everyone's imagination. Whether it is an ordinary audience or a professional filmmaker, the score is above 8 points, and 9 points and 10 points abound.
If "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" completely replicates the version of the previous life, it will definitely not be as sensational as it is now, but after adding 3D special effects and making luxurious changes in clothing styling, makeup technology, etc., it not only retains the essence of the previous life, but also adds elements of the new era, which will naturally be a sensation as soon as it is released.
According to the survey, up to 7 percent of people are willing to buy a CD collection after watching it, as many as 5 percent of people want to watch it a second time after watching it for the first time, 3 percent of the respondents said they have watched it a second time, and many people said they want to watch it ten times!
In China, because of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it is the core country of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" to harvest the box office.
In other Asian countries and regions, limited by cultural barriers, the box office will definitely not be as huge as in China, and after the release, it completely relies on word-of-mouth to attract audiences into the cinema.
Therefore, most of the publicity of the leading actors of the film is outside of China, mainly the two important ticket bases of the stick country and the Japanese country, especially the Japanese country.
On the second day of the release, Zhou Bing, who had just finished the promotion of the capital, took a plane to the Japanese country, accompanied by Tang Xinya and the staff of Red Star Media, including Zhang Tianlin, the general manager of Red Star Pictures Investment.
When you come to the Japanese country to publicize, of course, you have to choose actors who have influence in the Japanese country.
Among the major leading actors in "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East", Luo Ye is the least famous, and Tang Xinya is because of the relationship between "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The most famous, followed by Zhou Bing. So this time, Red Star Media chose Zhou Bing and Tang Xinya.
Zhang Tianlin is responsible for arranging, and the other is to deal with the cinema operators on the side of the Japanese country.
Zhou Bing originally did not have much influence in the Japanese Kingdom, far less than Zhao Ziyi, and even less than Cheng Jie, Lin Yunfa and other big names. But. As soon as she got off the plane, Zhou Bing was almost dumbfounded, because nearly 100 fans came to the airport to greet her, and they all held up her stills in the film and shouted: "Touhou Fuhai!" Touhou Fuhai~"
"It feels pretty good!" Zhou Bing immediately laughed sweetly, then waved at her fans while saying loudly: "Don't empty Nichiva!" ”
However, Zhou Bing was still a little unhappy, because her limelight was actually overshadowed by Tang Xinya.
Among the hundreds of fans who came to pick up the airport, most of them were holding stills of Tang Xinya's "Huang Rong" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As soon as she saw Tang Xinya walking out behind her, there was immediately a burst of terrifying screams and shouts, and then she desperately squeezed forward, forming human-shaped waves, and the momentum was extremely huge.
"Don't empty Nichiva!" Tang Xinya smiled and waved.
What does it mean that women and children know? That's it!
Zhou Bing sighed secretly, and then suppressed his unhappiness, thinking: "She has Huang Rong, and I have Dongfang Undefeated." It's better for me to have more influence! ”
The person in charge of picking up the airport here is Liang Yongtao, the person in charge of the Red Star Media branch in the country. There are also two Japanese actors, one is Kitano Wen who plays "Ape Not Sun and Moon" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", and the other is Hitoaki Yamaguchi who plays "Hattori Thousand Armies" in the film.
In his previous life, the role of "Ape is Not Sun and Moon" was played by Qian Jiale, and "Hattori Qianjun" was played by Li Zixiong, both of whom were old drama bones. The performance feels pretty good. But when it comes to Saturn, Stephen Zhao can no longer simply use Chinese actors to play, because he has to take care of the box office on the side of the Wa Kingdom.
Japanese people, you use Chinese actors to act, is this fooling the audience's IQ? Cost savings are not such a thrift-saving method. It's too cheap.
A 3D blockbuster, even a small detail, will cause a complete collapse of the film's reputation.
The devil is in the details!
So in this life, Stephen Zhao will use actors from any country where he should use actors, and there will definitely be no bad thing that Chinese people use actors from the stick country to play.
Of course, it is impossible to use Japanese actors to play the two supporting roles of "Ape Fei Sun and Moon" and "Hattori Thousand Army", it is impossible to use first-line celebrities, it is too wasteful of money. Later, after some investigation, I chose Kitano Fumi and Yamaguchi Hitoaki, two second-tier actors of the Japanese Kingdom, and the salary was actually not high.
Because of this, Red Star Media did not take Kitano Fumito and Yamaguchi Hitoaki as the core, but everyone went into battle together.
Facts have also proved that Red Star Media's decision was right, because during the publicity, the Japanese media or the fans who came to the scene did not pay special attention to these two, and they all dealt with them with a very normal mentality.
Outside a movie theater.
The famous children's writer Shumasa Ogawa was pulled out of the house by his girlfriend Maki Horikita, saying that they would go to a movie together, and the two of them hadn't been like this together for a long time.
Ogawa Zhou was very impatient, because he was writing a martial arts novel that belonged to the Wa Kingdom, but he couldn't resist Maki Horikita's request, so he had to reluctantly agree.
Of course, there is another reason why he agreed, Ogawa Zhou thought hard at home for many days, but his inspiration dried up and he was speechless.
"It's good to take a break and take a break." Ogawa Zhou comforted himself in his heart, and then walked to the street with his girlfriend Maki Horikita in a relaxed mood.
"Hey, there's a lot of people over there." Maki Horikita suddenly looked at the large square outside the movie theater with an expression of excitement and confusion: "What are they doing?" ”
On the square, there was a sea of people, and the flashing lights of the media continued to sound, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.
"Really?" Xiao Chuanzhou asked casually, and then turned his head to look at the square.
It's okay not to watch it, but at a glance, Xiao Chuanzhou's heart rose with anger for no reason, and his face became gloomy, and he said loudly to his girlfriend: "A Chinese movie is just doing publicity, there's nothing to see, let's go." ”
Maki Horikita was puzzled at first, but after seeing the giant posters around the square, she immediately came to her senses and smiled, "Let's go." ”
On top of a giant poster. It reads "Mr. Zhao Xingchi, the first martial arts writer in China, wrote "The Undefeated East of Smiling Proud Jianghu", adapted from the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" ......"
You don't need to look at the back, Maki Horikita understands why Ogawa Zhou's face has changed so much, because of "Stephen Zhao".
Last time, the literati of the Wa Kingdom went to China for literary exchanges, and in the competition, Ogawa Zhou first beat many Chinese writers. The majesty is immeasurable, and as soon as Zhao Xingchi came, Xiaochuan Zhou was defeated and lost. This matter, Horikita Maki didn't hear Ogawa Zhou say it, because this matter was regarded as a great shame by Ogawa Zhou, and Horikita Maki listened to Ogawa Zhou's friend say it.
Subsequently, the two took a detour into the movie theater.
"Wow, there are so many people, why are so many people watching movies today?" One in. Maki Horikita was surprised.
Xiaochuan Zhou frowned, not because there were too many people, but because the posters and electronic screens in the cinema had the introduction of the film "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated".
Xiaochuan Zhou wanted to leave very much, but when he saw his girlfriend's happy look, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to continue to comfort himself in his heart: "It's all here, and it's too shameless to leave now." ”
The two waited for a while. Finally, I was able to buy a ticket.
"What's a good movie to talk about?" Maki Horikita asked the female conductor.
"You can watch the movie Dongfang Undefeated from Huaxia, which is very good. Many people like to watch it, and after watching it, they all say it's good......" The female conductor enthusiastically introduced.
The anger that Xiao Chuan Zhou had just calmed down rose again, and he was almost about to curse.
Or Maki Horikita was clever and interrupted the female conductor first, asking, "Are there any other movies?" What about the cinema of our country? ”
The female conductor was enthusiastic and turned to say: "There are no films from our country released today. Or if you watch the blockbusters of American imperialism Hollywood, there are "Dawn of the Ages" and "Crossfire", both of which are films about future wars. ”
"That's ......" Maki Horikita was a little disappointed, and then turned around and discussed with Ogawa Zhou which movie was better.
Ogawa Zhou thought for a moment. said to the female conductor: "Two tickets for "Dawn of the Age", when will they be?" ”
The female conductor looked down: "There are tickets after eight o'clock tomorrow night." ”
Ogawa Zhou was immediately depressed.
Maki Horikita said: "What about "Crossfire"? ”
The female conductor said, "Tickets will be available after half past one tomorrow afternoon." ”
Maki Horikita and Ogawa looked at each other.
"Hey, you two, do you want to buy tickets? Go away without buying a ticket and don't waste my time. A big fat man as fat as a pig shouted behind them.
Ogawa Zhou compared the physique of the two and decided to back down very wisely, so he said to Maki Horikita: "Maki, let's buy tickets today and come tomorrow, right?" ”
Maki Horikita raised her lips: "I'm free today." ”
Ogawa Zhou immediately became embarrassed.
The female conductor was also impatient, and said angrily: "There is a ticket for "Undefeated in the East" at 8:15, do you want it?" Hurry up and decide, wasting other people's time is not good behavior. ”
Xiao Chuan Zhou finally gave in, and said with anger: "Give me two tickets for "Undefeated in the East". ”
No matter what, you can't lose face. Anyway, not many people know about his feud with Stephen Zhao. But now if he doesn't buy a ticket, he will lose face.
"It's hard to find a ticket for American imperialist sci-fi films, but Stephen Zhao, you still have tickets left for your film, it seems that you are not very good!" Ten minutes later, Xiao Chuan Zhou, who took the movie ticket and followed the flow of people into the theater, sneered.
After another five minutes, the movie begins.
At the beginning of the film, it is the plot of the Fuso samurai making chaos along the coast of China, which makes Xiaochuan Zhou feel very uncomfortable, because as long as it is an individual, it can be seen that this is an allusion to their Japanese country.
However, Xiao Chuan Zhou didn't hear the scolding, and looked around the inside of the theater, but there was no sound.
Ogawa Zhou endured and endured, he felt that if he endured it, he would become a ninja.
When Zhou Bing's "Undefeated in the East", who is both male and female, upside down and upside down, appeared on the screen in a domineering manner, Xiaochuan Zhou subconsciously exclaimed, with an extremely shocked look on his face.
Ogawa knew that he wouldn't be turning into a ninja.
Xiaochuan Zhou knows that this movie is going to be a big hit in the Japanese country! (To be continued......)
