Chapter 425. 【Listing of the company】

I am a man, not a god!

This sentence made the front page of major media and newspapers the next day.

For this young Chinese director who took the initiative to step down from the altar, countless people praised him.

After all, in this era of glittering and drunken gold, there are very few superstars who can know themselves so clearly.

Many of the superstars of their time tend to lose themselves in praise and glory, and really regard themselves as god-like beings, which are worshiped and worshipped. A few more people were able to take off their golden mask of Tutankhamun and release themselves from the altar to tell everyone that I am also an ordinary man, and I am like you, with joys and sorrows, worries and fears......

Facing the challenge of the great director Cameron, Yi Feiyang, who has created countless legends and is known as the god of miracles, openly admitted that he was afraid of failure and afraid of losing to Cameron. It can be seen that we have seen a more real China Yi, and for this alone, we must support him! Easy, come on! - The Hollywood News.

"is no longer the self-confident god-like man, but a young director with troubles and worries, China Yi, who stepped down from the altar, once again showed us a true self." - New York Entertainment News.

"The war has begun, and China Yi has no scruples about expressing his fear of losing, which not only allows us to see a different him, but also a more true self and emotional him!" -- Los Angeles Daily News.

Corresponding to these personal comments are the film reviews after the premieres of the two dramas "Avatar" and "Havoc in Heaven".

On the whole, the two dramas are basically likes, especially on the Internet. It can be said that there are endless disputes. Everyone thinks that the movies they support are the best. The best! Only a very small number of people stand in the middle of the road, believing that both dramas are very good, "one uses magic to spread Chinese mythology all over the world", and "the other uses science fiction to call for peace rather than war".

But as a competitor, there is never a middle ground, either lose or win.

Therefore, both dramas began to exert force, and various companies also began to do word-of-mouth publicity and box office public relations. I hope to be able to win the first place in word-of-mouth and box office in the future, and win over each other.

First of all, MGM Pictures and Columbia Pictures produced a special edition of "Avatar", and began to hold activities such as gift distribution and online voting to select the best fans.

These are not counted, in order to push this drama to the highest point, the gambling king Kirkrian did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. On both sides of Hollywood Boulevard, tall models of Avatar were created. So much so that anyone can see this huge model at a glance, making this area of Hollywood immediately a tourist destination, many domestic and foreign tourists will ask to take a photo with the Avatar model when they come here, and this shape has also been uploaded to Weibo, triggering a wave of Avatar fever in the Weibo industry.

Compared with MGM's fanfare and toss, Dream Entertainment started online marketing, not only through online ticket sales to drive the number of audiences, but also to use online evaluations to select loyal fans, and then combine those excellent evaluations, post them into posts, and publish them continuously on the Internet.

Of course, this is not enough, whether in terms of popularity or popularity, "Havoc in Heaven" is slightly inferior to "Avatar", in order to make up for the gap as much as possible, Yi Feiyang made a decision, announcing on Facebook that Dream Entertainment will cooperate with Babybaby Toy Company in the United States to develop the "Monkey King vs. Transformers" series of toys, and at the same time collect millions of dollars for story ideas and so on.

This solicitation was like a thunderclap on the ground, leaving everyone dumbfounded. No one expected that Yi Feiyang would be so cunning to bundle the Monkey King with Transformers for marketing.

In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang did this was because in his previous life, he had seen the story of the Monkey King and Transformers fighting in a pirated children's publication, which was particularly interesting and novel. The combination of mythology and science fiction seems nondescript, but there are actually a lot of interesting sparks, the most notable is the "Avengers" in the previous life, which actually tied together a group of people such as Thor and Iron Man in Greek mythology, which is actually a very interesting idea.

In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang came up with this idea, in addition to tying up the Monkey King and the Transformers together, the most important thing is to imperceptibly integrate traditional Chinese culture into the United States, and all this must be grasped from the doll.

I have to say that Yi Feiyang's trick is very poisonous. You must know how pure American children are, there are almost no people who don't like Transformers, and now there is suddenly a furry monkey, which is more novel and fun. Therefore, the Monkey King immediately spread in the United States, and the children saw it.

Immediately afterwards, the children shouted to watch a movie, and of course they watched this "Havoc in Heaven".

……

The New Year's battle for supremacy is in full swing.

In just half a month, the two dramas took turns to dominate the weekend box office charts.

Other movies have all become cannon fodder in front of these two monster-level movies. The film industry was full of mourning, and rivers of blood flowed.

In half a month, the North American box office of "Havoc in Heaven" reached 560 million US dollars, breaking the record of almost all fantasy entertainment movies. And even more powerful is "Avatar", and the North American box office reached 677 million US dollars in half a month!

In other words, in the fertile soil of North America, Cameron is still a well-deserved king, his movies beat Yi Feiyang, and the North American box office is the best.

Of course, that's not all, and when a month passes, the distance between the two increases again.

Dream Entertainment "Havoc in Heaven", the monthly box office is as high as 100 million US dollars!

MGM's "Avatar" has a monthly box office of up to 100 million US dollars!

It's against the sky!

Absolutely against the sky!

No one would have thought that the box office of these two dramas could exceed one billion in just one month!

And "Avatar" is as high as more than 1.3 billion!

The whole world shook because of these two plays!

The entire film industry was turned upside down because of these two plays!

The box office competition has reached this stage, and it seems that the winner and the loser have been distinguished.

Yi Feiyang's Chinese-language movies still failed to beat Cameron's sci-fi films in the end!

All the media have reported this very enthusiastically.

"Cameron, the king of the world, overwhelmed the magic of Young, and the magic of Yang was no more. The Monkey King was defeated by the Avatar! ”

"Yi Feiyang has created a new box office myth. But the total box office is still inferior to Cameron. Avatar is proud of Hollywood, the king is the hegemon! ”

"Halfway through the box office war, the winner has been divided, and China is easy to lose to Avatar!"

……

It can be seen from the many comments above that basically most of the media are not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's "Havoc in Heaven", thinking that he has lost the first half of the game, and there is no chance to turn over in the second half of the game.

"The gap at the box office will only widen!" This is the conclusion given by the most authoritative box office speculation website.

In response to such a conclusion, there are at least a small number of loyal fans and supporters of Yi Feiyang. Death does not admit defeat, in their opinion, there is still a month to go, and any miracle can occur.

"What's more, these are just North American box offices, not global box offices, and anything is possible in the end!" A fan argued.

Those Cameron supporters scoffed at this.

"Even the North American box office has lost like this, and the global box office, it will only be worse!"

Laughter. The taunt rang out.

……

Cameron soaked in the hot springs. The turquoise waters soaked him comfortably, and beside him, the gambling king Kirkrian, chewed his cigar and enjoyed his wine.

Next to the hot spring, a shriveled Akio Morita is lying on a massage chair, asking a blonde hottie to help him with a massage.

"Congratulations, dear Cameron, and congratulations on your movie grossing over 1.3 billion!" The gambling king Kirklian said very happily as he bit his cigar.

"Yes, we invested more than 500 million yuan this time, and we were able to get a box office of 1.3 billion, which is already a bumper harvest!" Akio Morita said with a snort.

Cameron didn't speak, he just held the water to his face and felt the warmth comfortably.

Suddenly, Kirklian said: "These are actually not the most important things, the most important thing is that we have seen that the Chinese Yi boy is deflated!" God, although that kid's movie box office has exceeded one billion, it's still too much worse than us, and I guess he won't be able to catch up even if he takes a rocket! ”

"That being said, isn't 13 a very unlucky number for you in the West? Maybe there will be some variables in the future! Akio Morita said cautiously.

That's when Cameron spoke, "What variables will be?" It's just that my box office is getting higher and better, and China Yi can only obediently admit defeat! ”

"Good! Dear Cameron, what I want is your domineering, only in this way can I be worthy of the title of your king of the world! Kirklian gave a thumbs up.

Cameron smiled ruefully, then picked up the red wine and said, "Now, all we have to do is wait a month for the champagne to celebrate!" ”

……

"Ayan, what should we do, are we going to lose this time?" The fat man Gao Jiabao asked Yi Feiyang worriedly.

Everyone else also gathered around Yi Feiyang, looking at him with a very worried mood, as the backbone and spiritual pillar of fantasy entertainment, everyone pinned their last hope on Yi Feiyang.

This young man, who has always been good at creating miracles, has always been able to turn things around at the most critical moments, and now, can he still do it?

Looking at everyone's worried looks, Yi Feiyang didn't know what to say. He tried to comfort everyone, but felt that no matter what he said, it was in vain.

After pondering for a while, Yi Feiyang suddenly said: "Maybe there is only one way to increase our box office......"

"What's the solution? Say it! Everyone said anxiously.

Yi Feiyang got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and then lit a cigarette, which curled up.

Looking at the ant-like crowd under the high-rise buildings, Yi Feiyang said: "It is our company that announces its official listing!" ”

"What, is it a dream listing?" Everyone was stunned.

For a long time, Dream Entertainment has been reluctant to go public on Wall Street under the strong pressure of Yi Feiyang, which makes it impossible for countless large companies that want to acquire Dream to start, but now ...... Yi Feiyang actually said that he wanted to make the company go public, didn't this give the enemy a chance?

"That's right, I just want to go public at this time, first of all, I will only disperse 30% of the equity to go public to ensure that the controlling stake is in our hands; Secondly, with the help of going public, we will be able to raise enough funds to further expand and even acquire other companies that are against us! In the end, as soon as the news of our dream listing spreads, it will immediately push our drama to the top, and the box office will increase significantly! ”

Yi Feiyang slowly said the plan in his heart, his tone was flat and determined, but everyone listened with surging hearts and was extremely nervous.

"Dear boss, no matter what you say or do, we have your back!" Vice President Dures was the first to speak.

"yes, we'll do whatever you say!" Fat Jack said.

"Grass to death those bitches!" It's Bill the Rabbit exploding.

"Go public, buy them!"

"Defeat MGM, defeat Sony!"

"We want to win!"

The crowd shouted in unison. (To be continued......) u
