If you want to win a war, you have to do enough work behind the parties.

It's the same with movies.

From planning, to preparation, to the start of filming, a film has gone through countless publicity and censorship. and then to post-production, planned release, release promotion, word-of-mouth praise, as well as box office collection, audience feedback, etc., it can be said that the whole process seems simple, but in fact it is complicated.

Now, with the two big companies of Columbia and MGM, coupled with the hidden power of President George W. Bush to strongly support the drama "Avatar", it is really difficult for Yi Feiyang's "Havoc in Heaven" to break through.

Sometimes I can't help but think it's funny that a shit movie can rise to the level of political struggle.

Just when Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly, a phone call came, but it was his old friend Clinton, needless to say, he invited Yi Feiyang to their house for dinner in a very friendly way.

Yi Feiyang, this time I was invited to dinner, just now it was the White House, and now it is the private residence of the former president.

It is said that Clinton has lived a very nourishing life in the past two years, writing personal biographies, making movies, and even recording songs, doing everything that a star should do. It can be said that Bill Clinton's biggest goal now is to be on par with President Reagan and become the first presidential star in the history of the United States.

In fact, this guy Clinton is really lucky, although he stepped down from the presidential throne, he unexpectedly joined Dream Entertainment, who would have thought that this company would be a rocket company, and the speed of development is simply amazing. Judging from the current situation, today's fantasy entertainment has simply become one of Hollywood's well-deserved giants.

Clinton has stepped down. But he became a part of fantasy entertainment and was praised as an entertainment star among political stars. made him a household name, and his fame was greater than when he was president. Why did he work so hard, because although Clinton stepped down, he still has ambitions, to be precise, his wife Hillary is very ambitious, and her biggest ambition is to be able to become the first female president in the history of the United States.

But she also knows that it is difficult for women to enter politics in the United States, and it is even more difficult to become president. So she had to accumulate enough political capital.

The hateful thing is that her husband is not angry, and when he was president, he couldn't control his subordinates, and caused a sex scandal, so that he was impeached and almost stepped down. It can be said that it is impossible to use her husband's political reputation, and he is thankful that he does not help himself. Fortunately, I met a good nobleman, that is, Yi Feiyang of Dream Entertainment. For this extremely legendary young man. Hillary's view is that there is achievement, ambition, and ability!

This kind of talent is a once-in-a-lifetime teammate, as long as he can stand with him, then in terms of public opinion media. They have a huge advantage.

Thank God, my family has been getting along well with China since the beginning, so now is the right time to strengthen intimacy.

That night, the luxurious villa was brightly lit up as a place where the former president lived. Clinton's gang has made a lot of benefits from fantasy entertainment, and it can be said that it is not bad money at all. Therefore, they can live such a prosperous life with dignity and integrity. Ignore the shit tax bureau and the anti-corruption bureau's audits.

At this moment, Clinton, who should have been leisurely drinking red wine and watching TV, was anxiously waiting for a friend at the door with his wife Hillary.

To be honest, they hadn't waited like this for a long time, and few of them had the qualifications to make them wait at the door.

But now, they have to wait patiently for someone to come, because that person is none other than Yi Feiyang, a celebrity who is now being wooed by many parties.

Politics is inseparable from the media, and a good media person or media tycoon must be a very good friend. Obviously, judging from the current situation, many American political bulls are willing to put down their bodies and associate with Yi Feiyang, a Chinese tycoon, for nothing else but for the future.

The car whistled belatedly.

As soon as Yi Feiyang got out of the car, Clinton went up and hugged him cordially, "Oh God, you're finally here, the food in the house is almost cold!" ”

"I'm sorry, there's been a delay in the middle!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.

Here, Clinton couldn't help but get closer to Yi Feiyang, and Hillary over there, taking full advantage of her duties as a "sister-in-law", invited Yi Feiyang into the restaurant, where everything was ready, a sumptuous dinner, and sweet wine.

However, what caught Yi Feiyang's attention was that there were four seats, not three. So Yi Feiyang asked, "Could it be that there are other people coming?" ”

"Oh yes, I'll introduce you to a friend later, a good friend!" Hillary Clinton smiled mysteriously.

Yi Feiyang didn't know what they were doing, but he hadn't seen any scenes, and he didn't pay attention to them.

Everything is ready and waiting for the guests to arrive.

That's when the doorbell rang.

Hillary smiled mysteriously at Yi Feiyang and said, "Okay, our last friend has finally arrived!" ”

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but look, but saw the door open, and a tall black man came in from outside, the man was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, hugged each other with Hillary, and said, "I didn't bring any gifts, I hope you will like this bottle of red wine." ”

The two walked over laughing, and the black man greeted Clinton, "Hi Bill, did you watch the game that the Chicago Bruins won recently?" It's amazing! ”

The words were casual and casual, and it seemed that he and the Clinton family were very familiar.

"Alright, you guy, come, I'll introduce you to a friend!" Clinton pulled Yi Feiyang over with a smile and said: "Even if I don't say it, you must know him, China Yi, a famous Hollywood director!" ”

"Hi, hello, I'm Yi Feiyang!" Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand.

"Hello, I'm Barack Obama!" The black man shook his hand and said.

Ahem, what?!

Only then did Yi Feiyang see clearly, wasn't the little tender black man in front of him the first black president in the history of the United States in his previous life?

Mother's head, it turns out that the friend the Clintons want to introduce is him!

If you remember well. In his previous life, after Obama took office, he appointed Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. It can be said that the two sides have worked together happily, but some say that Obama is paving the way for Hillary Clinton to move closer to the presidency. Of course, there are also those who say that Obama and Hillary Clinton are strong rivals in the Democratic Party, and the reason why Obama wants to promote Hillary Clinton is also to appease her unsuccessful candidacy, after all, we are all partisans.

In any case, Yi Feiyang can see clearly now, it turns out that the relationship between Obama and the Clinton family is so "unique".

"Nice to meet you. Dear Mr. Yi, I have heard of your name in the entertainment industry for a long time, and I also like your movies very much, how to say it, I think you are a rare director among Chinese directors, yes, your works are full of profound meaning. The characters you create have a very unique perception...... From your films, I see the emancipation of the minds of Hollywood directors......"

Nima, too good at talking, no wonder he will become the first black president in the future.

Yi Feiyang sighed at the strength of the other party's eloquence, and deep down he had to admit that such words sounded really comfortable, so that he had to have a very good impression of this black man.

People and people's first impressions matter.

At least. Judging from the current situation, Yi Feiyang and Obama's first meeting was very friendly.

The four of them sat down separately, and as the hosts, the Clintons were very warm and thoughtful, and the dinner they prepared was also very sumptuous. Everyone sat together and talked about movies, rugby. Talk about some of the current political situation.

Of course, there are some aspects of the topic that are superficial. Yi Feiyang understands that these are all post-dinner issues, just like the last White House, the real "big meal" is behind.

Sure enough, after the meal was over, Clinton chatted with them for a while with a little humor, and then got down to business: "Dear friends, let's go to the study and sit down!" ”

Exam, study again?

Could it be that the study rooms of American politicians are all places for self-interest? You can't change places!

In the study, everyone sat down very cordially and friendly, compared with the study of George W. Bush in the White House, the place here is not too big, but it is very warm, especially the colorful oil paintings hanging on the wall, which will give people a feeling of spring.

Yes, it's a great place to talk, at least not dull and depressing.

Hillary Clinton, who wisely took off her Iron Lady mask and played the role of a good wife and wife here, only to see her brewing coffee, cutting fruit, being warm and thoughtful, and generous.

"Well, dear friend, say whatever you have to say!" Yi Feiyang thought it was funny, how these politicians like to play this kind of game.

Clinton glanced at his wife, "Honey, why don't you talk about it!" ”

One sentence makes it clear who is actually in charge of this family.

Hillary is also welcome, it is time to rest after a long day of fatigue.

After Hillary Clinton sat down, she said to Yi Feiyang: "I heard that President Bush approached you not long ago. ”

"Yes, we had dinner together, just like tonight." Yi Feiyang shrugged, there is nothing to hide, not to mention the last time Bush Jr. invited him with great fanfare, for fear that others would not know about his relationship with himself.

"Oh, so I wonder if he told you something?" Hillary asked with a smile.

"They didn't say anything, they just hoped I could join their camp!" Yi Feiyang's tone was understated, but he made Hillary and the others look at each other, and said in his heart, sure enough, it's right.

"So easy, how did you answer?"

"Me? I'm just saying to go back and think about it, you know, the Republican Party in the United States is pretty strong right now, isn't it? Yi Feiyang said with a smile.

"That's right, you answered right, how can you agree to their Republican proposal so rashly, those guys are very cunning and will take advantage of people the most!" Hillary warmly refills Yi Feiyang's coffee.

"Having said that, now we in the Democratic Party also need your help, especially now that the Bush Jr. camp is mired in Iraq, this is a good opportunity, and we have a great hope of winning the next presidential election!"

Want to prevent George W. Bush from being re-elected?

Yi Feiyang made a difference, and he had the impression that George W. Bush's presidency had been sitting for a long time, and now it is estimated that it will be very difficult for the Democratic Party to fall by relying on public opinion.

But do you really want to join the democratic camp?

Yi Feiyang touched his chin, "I said it." I'm just a filmmaker, and I don't really like politics. Especially this kind of partisanship, I don't think it has much to do with me! ”

"It used to be," Mrs. Clinton said, "but now it's different, and if you're just a minor figure in Hollywood, no one is going to woo you into anything." But it's a pity that now you are no longer a simple filmmaker. Or a small director. Your every move is eye-catching, your wealth, your strength, and your influence in the film industry and even the media have gone far beyond the average entertainment star. ”

"Easy, you have to face reality, don't you, you used to be able to get away from everything very easily. Stay away from what you may think is a ridiculous political struggle, but now that you are in the middle of it, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to admit that you have to make a choice, and only then can you protect your all. Your career, and the movies you love! Hillary Clinton's words are sonorous and powerful, and people can feel her sincerity.

And in fact, what she said is also true, and it is impossible for Yi Feiyang to stay away from that damn politics. Who made him so influential?

"So you say, what am I going to do?" Yi Feiyang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Don't ask me. Ask yourself, you don't want your fantasy entertainment to be swallowed up by MGM and others, you don't want the results of your struggle to come to naught, you don't want to be driven by others, it's so easy, you have to stand with us! To be precise, we need your help too! "Hillary Clinton completely threw out her olive branch.

Yi Feiyang got up, he thought for a while, then turned around and smiled at Hillary and the others, "I don't like politics!" But, this time I want to play with you once! ”

Hillary smiled.

Clinton and Obama laughed too.

……

Two Hollywood blockbusters, "Avatar" and "Havoc in Heaven," have officially set their release dates, perhaps to better distinguish between winners and losers, and they both chose January 1, 2005 for their world premieres.

Now, with two months to go, all they have to do is promote their blockbuster.

In the past, when a Hollywood movie was released, posters would be put up, trailers would be inserted, and wonderful news about the play would be published in newspapers and magazines.

But now it's different, as competitors, Dream Entertainment and MGM both began to seize online media for the first time.

It is undeniable that with the advent of the Internet era and the development of online media, the entire online world has replaced traditional newspapers and magazines and has become the first platform for the public to receive information!

Therefore, these days, all kinds of websites in the United States, large and small, are full of gunsmoke and wars, all of which are waving their flags and shouting for their respective super blockbusters.

On the MGM side, the gambling king Kirkrian, together with the great director James Cameroon, spent a huge amount of money to release the news of the upcoming release of "Avatar" on many websites represented by Yahoo. Its big title is: Eight years of grinding a sword, the latest masterpiece of the great director Cameron is about to be supplied, and the world is looking forward to it!

Of course, under this heading, more content is a detailed report on the play "Avatar".

There are two main areas of focus:

First of all, it focuses on the wealth and blockbuster attack: Hollywood heavyweight director James, who once set a shocking box office record with "Titanic"? Cameron, after eight years of gestation, $500 million, and two years to make the sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar", debuted in early 2005.

James? Cameron won 11 Oscars (including Best Picture) in 1997 with "Titanic" and swept the world with a record of $3.5 billion for all audio-visual products. And every one of his previous works has always shaken the industry with the spirit of a pioneer, from "Terminator", "Alien 2", "True Lies", "Terminator 2" to "Titanic" The unprecedented 11 Oscars have set off high-profile topics with refreshing creations.

"Avatar" is about to be released, and fans and film industry people around the world are extremely enthusiastic and concerned about the film. At the annual European Film Festival held in Amsterdam at the end of June 2004, the 24-minute segment of "Avatar" was unveiled to a round of applause, and the audience stood up and applauded the film with excitement, praising Cameron for leading everyone into a new world and presenting it in stunning 3D.

It can be said that "Avatar" is definitely the most important Hollywood movie of 2005, both in terms of technology and investment, which is unprecedented.

Secondly, exaggerate the technology of the film, and the Cameron-esque special effects production: James? After directing the masterpiece "Titanic", Cameron believed that the use of sophisticated film industry technology and special effects could make an already brilliant plot more engaging, but special effects alone could not make a good movie.

The great director Cameron spent 5 years carefully conceiving and investing 200 million US dollars to capture photography technology with 3D virtual images developed by himself, and it took 2 years to shoot "Avatar". Oscar-winning producer Jon? Landau and Gold Award-winning soundtrack maestro James? Horner also followed "Titanic" and re-established a relationship with James? Cameron hand in hand.

After 2 years of filming and creation, "Avatar" brings the audience a new viewing experience, which is a film created using innovative technology, focusing on the emotions between characters and highlighting the storyline, which can be said to be highly anticipated.

The above two major plates directly pushed "Avatar" to the ranks of unprecedented super blockbusters, which is simply boasted of unprecedented and unmatched.

It turns out that the people's ears are soft, not to mention that Cameron himself is a representative of big productions, so it is not surprising that "Avatar" was hyped as a god film.

What is surprising is that Bush Jr. and a group of other politicians actually helped cheer for this drama.

It's incredible. 6
