At the beginning of May, the second wave of promotional films struck, and it was officially announced that "World of Warcraft" would be released worldwide on June 1, and Warcraft fans around the world were in a carnival.

They had waited too long for this day, and now it had finally arrived.

"Thanks to Peter. Jackson, I can finally see World of Warcraft. ”

"In June, I will definitely buy a ticket."

"Long live the orcs, long live the natural disaster."

Yahoo, meager and all of them are news that Warcraft fans are swiping the screen, and the global media have invariably reported the news that "World of Warcraft" will be released on June 1, and film critics are gearing up to pick on "World of Warcraft", of course, if "World of Warcraft" is really good, they don't mind complimenting it.

"Why June 1st?"

In the Universal Movie Office, Li Lin frowned fiercely, "Children's Day on June 1st, that is the world of cartoons, although "World of Warcraft" is close to the second dimension, it is an adult fantasy, and it will be released on this day, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

And......

Obviously said that it was a good summer vacation, why was it suddenly released a month earlier, which was very bad for the box office of "World of Warcraft".

"Because of this."

Finkelstein pulls out a piece of paper from a drawer.

Li Lin glanced at it, and his pupils immediately shrank.

"Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadows", directed by Christopher Brown. Nolan, released worldwide on June 18. ”

"Batman."

Li Lin's heart trembled.

"Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" claims to be a prequel, but it is not actually a prequel. He's a kind of reboot of the Batman franchise.

The $600 million global blockbuster hook piqued the interest of Batman fans around the world and broke the record for "Spider-Man" on the first day.

Battling this kind of revival, it's no wonder that Finkelstein will advance the release of "World of Warcraft".

Although Finkelstein doesn't necessarily know how the Batman Begins 1: Shadow Mystery table is. But judging from the importance that Time Warner attaches to it, there is absolutely no good end to playing against it, and even if it wins, it may be a lose-lose victory.

"If you don't think Time Warner's Batman Begins 1: Shadow Mystery isn't enough to make way for World of Warcraft, then check this out."

Finkelstein took out another piece of paper, and this time, Li Lin was completely moved.

"War of the Worlds," directed by Spielberg. Starring:Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, a member of the 20 million salary club, will be released in North America on June 29. ”

"If it is planned to compete in the summer vacation on July 1st. Then we will face the double attack of "Batman Begins 1: Mystery of the Shadows" and "War of the Worlds". ”

"I don't think 'World of Warcraft' would be able to do a good job at the box office under such circumstances."

The box office in the United States fluctuates by an approximate range in a week, and if two blockbusters are released together, it will be an extremely tragic strangulation, and the winner will be crowned king. And the loser slipped into the abyss.

It's like when Titanic came. Movies from all over the world have been affected by this giant ship, resulting in a dismal box office.

And if the two works are similar, then the end will be affected by both, and no one will be pleased, so staggering the schedule is the only option.

Obviously, Universal Movies didn't want "World of Warcraft" to match "World of Warcraft" and "Mystery of the Shadows" and "War of the Worlds", so Finkelstein chose to release it a month earlier to avoid the sharp edges of "Mystery of the Heroes" and "War of the Worlds".

Anyway, half a month is enough time for "World of Warcraft" to attract money.

"It's me who was reckless." Li Lin shook his head. Needless to say, "The Mystery of the Shadow" is a masterpiece directed by Nolan. The brilliant work of the Batman series, and "War of the Worlds" is a masterpiece joined by Hollywood superstars and Spielberg.

Although Li Lin's "The King's Man" defeated Spielberg's "Memoirs of a Geisha" in South Korea, Li Lin will not be arrogant and think that Spielberg is nothing more than that.

You must know that "Memoirs of a Geisha" is a literary work, and Spielberg himself has never paid attention to the Korean market, even if it is publicity, he sent two actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, to South Korea to promote.

In such a situation, it is not surprising that "The King's Man" can win, after all, "Memoirs of a Geisha" is not "Titanic", and it can kill the global box office.

"That's fine, but some things have to be arranged in advance." Li Lin said: "I will let the cinema chain in Huaxia step up the pace of opening." ”

"If you want to publicize it, I will immediately go back to Huaxia to do publicity."

Originally, there were still two months left, so there was no hurry, but now that it was cut for a month, of course he had to hurry up and deal with these things.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Lin flew back to Huaxia.

On the third day, Li Lin, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin and Zhou Xun went to the happy base camp together.

With their status, they can go to the Happy Camp now as they want, and they don't need to make an appointment in advance or say good things at all.

They go to the Happy Camp, and they are happy to be at the Happy Camp.

"This issue was originally on us, why did they grab it as soon as they came." Li Lida sat in the dressing room with the rest of TVXQ, allowing the stylist to perform on his face.

"He's something, he's actually making us get way."

"There is also Mango Terrace, which actually directly took a short appearance to perfunctory us, and there is no TVXQ in our eyes at all."

Li Lida couldn't stop complaining.

He thinks that he is very popular now, in South Korea, in China, they TVXQ are very popular, not to mention Korea, to replace the popular combination of mythical groups.

In Huaxia, they caused a large cheer from fans as soon as they appeared.

Originally, they came here to promote their new album, and they went to the Happy Camp in the hope of boosting sales, but when they arrived, they found out that someone had taken over their show.

And this person is still his old rival Li Lin.

He was immediately furious.

"What's going on inside?" The planner of Happy Camp stood outside the dressing room, and stopped when he was about to knock on the door. turned to ask He Jiong next to him.

"I've been making a fuss, and I'm very dissatisfied with our program team." He Jiong didn't care very much.

The current happy base camp is different from before, and the happy base camp, which dominates the ratings championship all year round, faintly has the momentum of the boss of Chinese variety shows.

And as the host of the Happy Camp. He Jiong has also stepped into the ranks of top hosts, and he has no fear of these Hallyu stars.

Don't look at the K-pop stars who have a large number of Hallyu fans on the Internet, and even every time they come to China, there are a large number of fans to pick up the plane, which seems to have become the climate, but if you really look at it. It can be seen how empty Hallyu artists are.

Judging from this year, the highest sales of K-pop artists in China are the Beauty Age of Mythical Group Company, and their album "Gee" has become popular all over China. But the album sales in Huaxia have just exceeded one million, and the highest sales of many singers in Huaxia in South Korea have exceeded 1.3 million.

On the one hand, there is the mighty Hallyu, and on the other hand, the Hwa-yu that sneaks into the night with the wind, and the two are not the same at all.

In Huaxia. Hallyu continues to encounter resistance on the Internet. Many netizens scolded Korean singers, and in South Korea, there are almost no Chinese singers who scold.

They all passed by the record store and occasionally bought one, and occasionally bought one when they went to the online shopping mall, and no one went to variety shows, and no one did publicity, but the album went up bit by bit.

It's the same in Japan, where Hualiu doesn't have much organization. I don't go to the show, I just send the album to a Japanese record store and open the channel. It's not advertised at all, a picture of whether you like to buy it or not.

But that's it, the sales of Chinese singers in Japan have gradually increased, and there is a kind of golden age in the music industry, and Chinese singers dominate the Asia-Pacific region.

"Let's make a fuss, it's just a small role anyway." The planner waved his hand, and the original intention of going to see it also faded, "By the way, He Jiong, wait for Li Lin and they are coming over, you go and talk to them, don't ask some things that shouldn't be asked." ”

"Now they are different from before, they are big names, and they can't anger others."

Needless to say, Li Lin has been a super popular star for a long time, Zhou Xun is one of the four little flowers, Fan Binbin is the queen of topics, and Huang Xiaoming is also fierce.

Now the four of them are going to the Happy Camp to promote World of Warcraft, which is a big deal for them.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention, I will ask what I should ask, and I won't ask what I shouldn't." He Jiong played the package ticket.

It's not easy to do variety shows in Huaxia.

Because of the restrictions of the national scale, many questions cannot be asked, for example, some time ago the United States made a lot of news, 'Is the president of the United States GAY?' If this problem is changed to Huaxia, it will be stopped immediately.

But the audience doesn't see it that way.

The audience's tastes are becoming more and more picky, they can't stand the current hosting style, and they desperately hope that variety shows can be released on scale, not to mention that they have no scruples like the United States, but they have to be like South Korea, loosening the scale somewhat, but Chinese variety shows can't satisfy them, plus South Korea's variety shows flow through guò entertainment paradise, more and more audiences are snatched away by Korean variety shows.

At this moment, a staff member led Li Lin and others over.

"Coming so early?"

The planner raised his eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, he changed his smile and greeted him, "Mr. Li, welcome to Mango Terrace." ”

The planner held Li Lin with two hands, with a smile on his face, which was completely different from when he faced He Jiong just now.

"Brother Li, Zhou Gongzi, Binbin, Xiao Ming." He Jiong smiled and said hello.

In terms of qualifications, they are higher than anyone present, but the entertainment industry does not look at seniority and status, and the current Li Lin is almost at the top of the entertainment industry except for being slightly inferior to a few superstars.

Especially as soon as the news of Gul'dan, who recently starred in "World of Warcraft", came out, everyone understood that the shallow waters of Asia could no longer trap this real dragon, and his goal was the world

"He Jiong."

Li Lin also smiled and said hello, "It's nothing, so I came in advance, so I shouldn't have caused you any trouble!" ”

"No, no." He Jiong hurriedly shook his head, joking, don't say no, even if there is, you have to say no.

"Then let's go and do the styling, by the way, we brought our own costumes, wait for your help and cooperation, please." (To be continued......)
