Chapter 498 The appeal is strong, and the sedan chair carries people

"Generally speaking, it is usually very troublesome to release a Chinese film to be released in European and American theaters in large quantities, because in addition to contacting the distributor, we also have to carry out a lot of preparations, such as free test screenings and a small number of screenings, which will cost us a lot of time and energy, even films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" are no exception!"

Jiang Zhiqiang held the microphone and talked eloquently, which can be regarded as a preliminary explanation of the steps and difficulties of contacting foreign distribution, and then he smiled and said: "But this time I am very lucky, really lucky, because when I said to the person in charge of the European and American theaters I am familiar with: I have a great movie that I want to release in your theaters, do you have any questions?" As a result, the other party hurriedly asked me: "Jiang, is it the police and bandit/action movie starring China Tang?" ”

Speaking of which, in the whispers of the guests, in the inexplicable excitement of the reporters, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, looked at someone smiling, and said with great admiration: "Everyone guessed right, the movie "The True Colors of Men" can be released around the world only one week behind the release of Asia, and this is indeed because one of the leading actors of this film, Tang Xiao Tang Sheng, because he also has a strong appeal in Europe and the United States, at least the audience of this drama - countless young people know him, and even like and worship him. ”

At this time, the discussion in the audience has suddenly become louder, and the reporters have all pointed their camera lenses at someone who is smiling, and the shutter press is called a ruthless, and the sound of clicking pictures can't be stopped.

"I'll it! Although I have known that he is very hanging, I can't imagine that he can be hung like this! No wonder "The Hollywood Reporter", a global industry vane, shouted the slogan of $20 million + profit sharing for him! This is really extremely powerful and domineering! ”

A reporter from the mainland muttered to himself, his expression was so excited, and he couldn't stop chanting: "This is called a world-class superstar, and this is the real appeal that can influence the global market!" ”

"It used to be Bruce Lee, and now it's Tang Xiaoshi, why can there always be world-class superstars in the Chinese film industry? Why has our Imperial Japan never been able to go out of Asia and influence the world in terms of film actors? We have the world's second-largest box office market and the world's second-largest economy. But why in terms of commercial films. But it has never been able to surpass a small Hong Kong? ”

A reporter from the entertainment section of Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun whispered in Japanese in frustration how he hoped that one day, his country would also have a real world-class superstar in the entertainment industry!

Although Japan also has two world-renowned directors, Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki, but in terms of general influence, big directors are not as good as big stars, just like basketball stars and teams, everyone knows Jordan, but few people definitely know that he started with the Bulls.

"Oh my God, this is a real world-class star! Relying on his own name alone can make European and American theaters agree to release movies. Isn't this a clear manifestation of the appeal? When will we have such an emperor superstar in the Republic of Korea? ”

South Korea's KBS reporters are also very impressed, although they always put their own domestic first-line stars and groups. They are all called Asian superstars and Asian celestial groups, but to tell the truth, at least so far, there has really been no well-deserved Asian superstar in South Korea, let alone a world superstar.

If you don't believe it, look at their salary, which can be compared to Li Lianjie's $12 million. Can it be compared with Fang Chenglong's $15 million + box office dividends?

Of course, if you want to compare at this time, you must compare it with a certain 'pervert' who was publicly shouted by The Hollywood Reporter that he should take 20 million US dollars + dividends.

"The mainlanders have produced another international-level king, it seems that the Hong Kong entertainment industry has indeed declined over the years! Except for Xie Tingfeng and Chen Guanxi, they can't even find a decent new-generation actor, let alone an international king! ”

The reporters of Hong Kong and Taiwan are also very helpless, because compared with the mainland, it is easier for Hong Kong and Taiwan to get out of the emperor superstar. Because the media in these two places are more in line with international standards, and they are also good at making stars, and they are also more high-end in the Asian entertainment industry (Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are indeed more valuable than mainland artists, I don't understand why) ......, but unfortunately, with so many favorable conditions, a new king has not been discovered, and Jay Chou has this potential, but it is only potential.

……

In fact, after listening to Jiang Zhiqiang's narration, it was not the reporters who were most shocked, because they sighed at most, and then there was no more, after all, it was none of their business, and they were not stars, anyway, there was news.

And the ones who were really shocked were actually the big stars, the bosses of film and television companies, and some directors who came to the scene.

Because before they heard Jiang Zhiqiang say this, they knew one thing at most, that is, Tang Xiao seemed to be able to eat well in Europe and the United States, and there were hundreds of thousands of pure European and American official fans, and then everyone didn't know much about other and more specific things.

But now, after really hearing the emotional description of Jiang Zhiqiang, the "promoter of Chinese films", everyone couldn't help but gasp, and finally had a preliminary estimate of someone's strong appeal in Europe and the United States.

Your sister, just the name of an actor can open the door to the theater chain, isn't this Nima like in the 8th and 90s of the last century, when Hong Kong films were the hottest?

At that time, as soon as the theater side in Southeast Asia heard that there was any one of Zhou Runfa, Fang Chenglong, and Zhou Xingchi in a play, then it was ok, there was no need to say anything, let alone arrange the release, you can find the theater party to pull investment!

There is no doubt that after such a change of direction and comparison, someone's box office appeal is immediately vividly reflected! The insiders also immediately understood what it means that the train is not pushed, and Mount Tai is not piled up.

"I lost it, no wonder such a bird movie can sell so well in Europe and the United States, and it is always in the headlines! This j8 is like looking for Tom. Cruise, Johnny. Like Depp playing the leading role, it's hard not to attract attention! ”

", if this kid really has such a strong attraction, if I were willing to spend a lot of money to invite him to make a film, would it sell so well? The global $200 million, even after sharing, at least $60 million, even if he is given $20 million in salary, I can make a net profit of $40 million, and then there is DVD income and copyright income, so if you calculate it, it seems to be a bit of a trick! Hey, this must be studied, it's a big deal for a few companies to cooperate, and you can't die if you lose money! ”

"Oh my God, is he really that strong? If you can cooperate with this guy and play a couple, will you be able to be as famous in Hollywood as Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing now? This opportunity...... It's so rare, I wonder who will be the first 'chic girl'?! ”

……

"I'm a slot, old ~ Jiang, don't praise me to death like this!"

The guests at the scene were all kinds of excitement and feelings, but someone sitting on the rostrum was about to lose his composure, and his fart~ thigh seemed to be sitting on a nail, with a constipated face.

Nima, if Brother's name is really so easy to use, then why didn't "The True Colors of Men" simply be released simultaneously around the world? Why didn't the theater company insist that I have to go to the local area and interact with fans?

Your sister, theaters in Europe and the United States are not as superstitious as celebrities in China, they should still be tested for screening, and if they should be released on a small scale and for a long time, they will definitely not be released on a large scale, because they are super formal.

European and American theaters will have a pre-evaluation of the movies scheduled, such as the big casts above the A level, if the expectations are high, and the quality is OK when watching the film, then everyone will release it on a large scale across the country (global).

If it's B-grade, due to the lack of budget for this kind of movie, the quality is usually not very good, and there are few big stars involved, so the market prospect is not very good, so when arranging the release, it will generally not be a large-scale release in more than 2000+ theaters in the United States, but from a few - hundreds of this arrangement.

Therefore, in Europe and the United States, where the system is strict, it is impossible (rarely) to have a large-scale release without looking at the quality, which is what makes someone feel blushing the most.

But then again, no matter what, Jiang Zhiqiang, a famous movie promoter in the industry, was able to make up such a story in front of so many industry insiders and media reporters, and the protagonist was himself, which made someone feel very satisfied.

Because he understands the reason why the sedan chair carries people, even famous figures in the industry admit that their appeal is strong and abnormal, so what about the ordinary people in the circle? What about the onlookers and fans outside the circle?

Therefore, he is actually very grateful to Jiang Zhiqiang, and he seems to understand why this little old man who is not good-looking can actually sit on the very pronoun of "Chinese film promoter", the reason is very simple, people can do favors!

Just like now, he helped himself to do a live advertisement, so would he turn a blind eye and ignore it? Or even stand up and refute him with great enthusiasm?

Brother Chic groaned slightly, but still took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "Jiang Sheng is too exaggerated, I am not so famous in Europe and the United States!" The main reason is that Jiang Sheng's relationship network and business ability are too strong! ”

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed, seemingly happy, but a hint of approval flashed in the corner of his eyes.
