Chapter 166: Europe Is Terrible, I Want to Go Home (Two in One)
"What is the reaction of public opinion in China?"
In the cabin of the plane, Wang Wei asked Wang Chuanqi as if he didn't care.
This is a flight chartered by the crew on a flight to New York, the last stop of North American propaganda - for overseas publicity, Dunhuang chartered a medium-sized aircraft capable of transoceanic flights.
The rest of the crew, who were quite sleepy by the intensive publicity activities, had already slept in the guest bedroom in the second half of the plane, but Wang Wei still had to discuss official business with Wang Chuanqi, who came from China.
Lao Wang knew that the first question he cared about was not a business.
He cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Cough, in one sentence - your character design is collapsed!" ”
"First of all, Xiaozhen. Well, everyone said that she had only seen her skills in movies and TV series, but she didn't expect it to be staged in real life! ”
"Now on the domestic Internet, netizens almost have only one voice - kneeling for her, really kneeling!"
- This is called bullshit's "character has collapsed", don't think I don't know that you worship this little girl even more!
Wang Wei complained in his heart, but after all, he didn't interrupt Lao Wang's words.
"And you, the character has collapsed."
- Come on, come on, I know I can't escape!
Wang Wei's face was impassive, and he roared angrily in his heart.
The smile in Lao Wang's words couldn't be suppressed, "In this way, I'll retell some representative remarks on the Internet——"
Some netizens said that he couldn't understand how Xiaozhen could have such a great charm and make you give up a forest for a tree; Now he knows that Xiaozhen's charm is really big, so big that if you dare to cheat, she can beat you into a meatloaf......"
Another netizen said that he understands you very well. If you are a boyfriend, you should be pressed by your girlfriend, just like when your husband comes home, he has to be controlled by his wife......"
Some netizens said that he was very envious of you. After accepting Xiaozhen's new personality, not to mention, as her boyfriend, she has a special sense of security, and she is not afraid of meeting gangsters when she goes out in the middle of the night, and when she encounters a roadblock robbery, she hides behind her, with the average strength of those gangsters, a few are not enough for her to fight ......"
"Okay, needless to say!" Wang Wei said with a black line on his face.
Lao Wang laughed.
In fact, it is not enough to say that Wang Wei's people have collapsed.
At the first moment when he encountered danger, he was able to stand up and block in front of his sister, which was at least able to beat ninety percent of men.
But who let him have a bullish girlfriend, so that the comparison is too "tragic"!
"Actually, people don't really think you're unproductive, it's just ......"
"Jealousy! Jealous that I'm handsome, and finally have the opportunity to see me embarrassed, and you can't make a big mockery? Wang Wei said that he had already seen through everything.
"Uh......" Lao Wang, who was also secretly laughing in his heart, was a little weak-hearted.
Well, Wang Wei also saw it, and looked at this "lovely" family member with disgust.
Before being scolded by him, Lao Wang quickly changed the topic-
"Look at the good place, this time it's a little more thrilling...... Well, it's very thrilling, but as the saying goes, there is a reward for paying. ”
"For example, Xiaozhen's popularity in the Western market was originally far inferior to the charming villain of 'Hannibal', but now, her popularity is estimated to be overtaking."
Of course, Wang Wei knew this, and even felt it more deeply than him.
One of the most direct consequences of Xiaozhen's skyrocketing popularity is that the sales of DVDs of her first two works in North America have skyrocketed.
"Peking Holiday" and "Genius Gunman" were not screened on a large scale in North America, but were directly pushed to the DVD market.
Although it can't make a lot of money, it is better to accumulate a lot of money, so Dunhuang did not buy out the copyright.
Now it seems that this decision could not have been more sensible!
- Xiaozhen has a large number of fans in North America, they are crazy to dig up everything about idols, and the two DVDs that collect the movie version and a lot of behind-the-scenes footage, almost one for everyone, can they not sell well?
The old works are still benefiting so much, not to mention the popular "The Silence of the Lambs".
And when it came to the box office of this movie, Lao Wang's eyebrows danced,
"Now, the domestic box office has accumulated 860 million yuan, and it is a certainty to break the billion mark, while in the North American market, it has earned 170 million US dollars in the second week alone, and it seems that its box office curve has not shown the slightest sign of diving."
"In addition to the world's top two box offices in the overseas market, its cumulative box office has also reached nearly 800 million yuan, there is no doubt that there is still potential for follow-up."
"Therefore, both domestic and foreign box office forecasting agencies have invalidated the original box office estimates - they all said that this is not a movie that can be measured with common sense, and whenever people think that its topic is almost as hot as the potential moviegoers, it can always set off a new wave of explosions and attract new audiences......"
Wang Wei also showed a smile.
Sure enough, when it comes to tickets, it makes people feel more comfortable.
In the current situation, even if it is him, it is indeed impossible to predict the final landing point of the global box office.
But what is certain is that the film will be the number one player for the global box office number one in 1992.
As a thriller, it's nothing short of a myth!
"However, apart from the domestic market, most of the other box office revenues were eaten by others!"
Lao Wang suddenly smiled and sighed.
If anyone thinks that such a popular movie can make Dunhuang achieve "financial freedom", it is really naïve.
After all, there are too many people who want to share this cake.
Like the box office revenue released in North America, Dunhuang may not even get 1/4; In other overseas markets, which are larger and more fragmented, this proportion will be further reduced.
A considerable part of this has been put into the pockets of overseas distributors.
Lao Wang even speculated indignantly, "They may take more on the cake of box office revenue than Dunhuang." ”
That's the frustration of that.
Although Dunhuang sent people to supervise it, the popularity was too high and it was very convenient for them to falsely report their costs - it is difficult to tell which media outlets were spontaneous propaganda, but the publishers said that they were the work.
Anyway, judging from the current feedback, the cat is not small.
Wang Wei also nodded helplessly.
This touches the pain point of Dunhuang, and it is also the global distribution system of the goal!
Without global distribution capabilities, the cost of being exploited by large companies is too great!
In the case of the movie "The Silence of the Lambs", that is a loss of hundreds of millions.
It's just that after communicating with Zhou Wen, the head of the North American office, Wang Wei deeply understood one thing - in terms of the current situation in Dunhuang, it is too much to consider establishing a global distribution system by himself!
In Zhou Wen's words, "In fact, it is not too difficult to distribute in various countries, and the publicity and marketing before issuance is the problem." If you can't have branches or offices in most countries like the Big Five, it is impossible to do a good job of relevant marketing work in a short period of time......"
It's not a question of willingness to spend money.
For example, Dunhuang doesn't care about money, it fills all the branches, recruits all the people, and then ...... Do you have so many films released worldwide every year?
If not, I'm sorry, it's impossible for the real industry elite to get into this kind of distribution department where they may only release one or two films a year and don't have much future.
What's more, with the current scale of Dunhuang, it is a joke to open dozens of branches.
"It's better to maintain a few offices in North America, Europe, etc., and then increase the production capacity, and then think about the rest — if nothing else, if you can have two 'The Silence of the Lambs' a year, everything will be easy." Lao Wang shook his head and said.
Wang Wei rolled his eyes, "You might as well expect me to be shot twice a year!" ”
Lao Wang showed a thoughtful expression.
- What do you really think about the shit!?
Wang Wei roared again in his heart.
Of course, this is a joke, Lao Wang's trip to the United States this time is mainly because Zhou Wen has selected two small studios suitable for acquisition - this is the starting point for Dunhuang to improve the level of global production.
Two acquisition targets, one in Hollywood, Los Angeles and the other in ...... New York.
Not to mention, New York's film and television industry is quite developed.
Therefore, after the plane landed, Wang Wei continued to lead the crew to carry out publicity in full swing, while Lao Wang took people to inspect the target company in a low-key manner.
……
Lao Wang's side will have no results for a while, but the crew didn't stay in New York for too long, so they were ready to cross the Atlantic and fly to Europe to carry out propaganda.
The first stop in Europe was the United Kingdom.
Although theoretically, the European film market treats Hollywood and China Entertainment equally.
However, there is no cultural barrier between Hollywood and European countries, and there is no strategic offensive and defensive consideration of cultural export, so it cannot be said that Europe is Hollywood's backyard, but the share of Hollywood films in Europe far exceeds that of Chinese films.
Of course, this is not a problem for the promotion of "Lamb".
Now that this film is a global trend, the crew is not so much here to promote as to develop contacts.
In the UK, for example, a large number of colleagues – actors and directors – welcomed the arrival of the Chinese.
It's not hard to see why.
The basic skills of British actors are generally relatively solid, but like European countries, the domestic market is too small and cannot be truly united, so it cannot support the ecological chain of its own film and television industry.
In this way, you will have to "go to sea to make a living".
Hollywood, of course, is their priority, and in fact, in Hollywood, the British gang is not small.
But Huaguo is the world's largest film market, and there are many British actors who want to eat in it.
And Wang Wei happens to be the most potential new generation of directors in China, hasn't he become a sweetheart?
As for Wang Wei himself...... Of course, it's a joy to see!
On the one hand, British actors have always been known for their high quality and low prices, and if you need British and American actors, they are still quite fragrant to use;
On the other hand, Wang Wei was very disapprehensive and arrogant about the British Empire that had sunset, but he also knew that there were really many good people in the world-
From North America to Asia, there are many "elites" around the world who like the British aristocracy.
- There is a chance, these people's money is not earned in vain!
In this way, the two sides hit it off until—
At a party, when a handsome young actor greeted Wang Wei, his eyes involuntarily fell on his broad shoulders, back and hips, and his face turned red.
Wang Wei felt a strange feeling in his heart.
I caught another glimpse of a well-mannered man, staring at him, licking his lips and looking at him in a blur.
The feeling that something was wrong in Wang Wei's heart became even stronger.
Finally, a male investor with a somewhat feminine appearance held Wang Wei's hand tightly when he introduced himself, and gently scratched his palm when he let go.
Wang Weiru was struck by lightning!
- I'm TM this is being teased? Or was you teased by a man?
Gan!
He finally understood that something was wrong!
With the name of the British Rotten Country, it is as famous as its dark cuisine style, how can he forget it?!
Realizing this, Wang Wei's face turned green!
- I'm a straight man in the truest sense of the word, what do you think I look like I'm interested in the same sex??
As everyone knows, they may not think that Wang Wei is "Ji", but they can't suppress their interest in Wang Wei!
Handsome, tall, with a good smile, beautiful eyes, and smooth skin...... The point is, it's still "weak", and it's okay to accept it!
Wang Wei didn't know, and if he knew, he would probably be angry...... Well, it's almost gassing now!
"MMP, if I don't let the name of the corrupt country spread all over the world, if I don't let people think of selling the base and selling corruption when they mention the British, I won't be surnamed Wang!"
After returning to the hotel, Wang Wei couldn't wait to use boiling water to disinfect his hands, and swore viciously.
Shen Zhenyi, who knew the ins and outs, looked at Wang Wei with an expression of "Britain is too dangerous", and giggled heartlessly.
They didn't know that this was just the first blow to Wang Wei's trip to Europe!
As soon as he arrived in France, the second stop, Wang Wei was hit again!
The French, as we all know, the pursuit of romance is in their genes.
Regarding the explosion caused by the crew of "Lamb", they are not like people in other countries, who are most concerned about the murderer who surrenders, or the charismatic dark idol Hannibal, or Shen Zhenyi's extraordinary skills, but-
"When a man really loves you, he will do the most sincere thing in the clumsiest way; The king of Huaguo is the kind of man who moves all women. ”
When danger hits, he subconsciously uses his physical body to block bullets for his lover; He is so weak, but so fearless, admirable......"
Admire your sister!
Seeing the overwhelming "he is so weak but so brave" in the French media, Wang Wei almost blew up his lungs!
"Gan! If the French didn't have women and foreigners to lead, who did they win single-handedly? ”
"His combat power is like a baguette, it seems to be like that, but in fact, it is not decent; I don't even know why they say I'm weak, a French man who fights like flirtatious? Dare to go heads-up? ”
"MMP, Europe is too unfriendly, I can't stay there, pack up and go home!"
Shen Zhenyi looked at Wang Wei's appearance of jumping on his feet while complaining, and couldn't hold back a smile, and the corners of her mouth drew a conniving arc.
She thinks such a little bamboo horse is so cute!
These days, so many media, so many people, or maliciously, or ridiculed, are emphasizing that he is "a weak chicken".
She believes that in such a situation, most men will consciously or unconsciously anger the person who makes him "make a fool of himself".
But Wang Wei didn't!
He complained, he scolded people, he had a poisonous tongue, but he didn't mean to anger her in the slightest - Shen Zhenyi's perception of people's emotions is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and she is sure that she doesn't.
On the one hand, it is probably that he has absolute self-confidence and knows that he is not "weak";
On the other hand, presumably because of ...... He's so cute!
……
Ah, this is my milk method again? Definitely not intentionally~~~
