Chapter 409: Propaganda in South Korea
28 December, 2009.
Seoul International Airport.
In the VIP room, Wu Yuan, who had arrived for almost two hours, finally waited for a flight from the capital to Seoul to land.
It didn't take long for the group to wear masks and hats and walk into the VIP room in a low-key manner.
"Sissi, you're finally here."
Wu Yuan looked at the girl in the lead.
Although she was fully armed, with sunglasses, masks and hats, Wu Yuan could still recognize at a glance that this was his fiancΓ©e.
"How's it going, everything is going well in the country?"
"Smooth, "Walking with God" and "Painted Skin 2" are very good at the box office, and now the first box office in the mainland is already "Painted Skin 2", and "Walking with God" ranks third."
"If it weren't for the appearance of "2012", it would have been able to win the top two."
"Zhang Yimou's new movie "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is a big surprise, although the box office has reached 200 million, but the scolding on the Internet is particularly loud."
Liu Yifei shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "I also went to the cinema to watch this movie." β
"Really. It's hard to put into words. β
"After watching it, I can't believe that this was filmed by director Yimou."
"It's so disappointing."
Since Wu Yuan's marriage proposal, Liu Yifei has entered Wu Yuan's career more deeply.
When Wu Yuan is not in Huaxia, she will shoulder the responsibility of "work assistant", help Wu Yuan keep an eye on the company's recent situation, understand the company's operation, as well as the recent situation of opponents, etc., and sometimes read some reports for him.
Of course, these reports will also be sent to Wu Yuan's mailbox for him to personally review.
However, Wu Yuan wants to exercise Liu Yifei's heart, which can be regarded as a well-known passer-by in the company.
My husband has a big company, and he is very busy with his work, so he must train his wife to share part of the work pressure.
Liu Yifei did not do a bad job.
Her brain is still very bright, and after following Wu Yuan for so many years, she can still be competent as an assistant.
""Three Guns Shooting Surprise"!"
Wu Yuan smashed his mouth and sighed: "This movie is indeed not the handiwork of a director, it was promoted by Zhang Weiping. β
No matter what, the audience has always been "all the orders and settle the accounts after the autumn" for Zhang Yimou's movies, and the box office performance of this movie will definitely not be bad, but it is also deservedly to be scolded afterwards. β
"I guess Director Yimou was already mentally prepared when he made this movie."
Zhang Weiping, the producer of this movie, tried all the publicity tricks when the movie was filming, in addition to using Xiao Shen Yang, Yan Ni, and Sun Honglei, who became popular in the Spring Festival Gala, he also created several topics.
first led the female lead in "changing the role door", and then it broke out that Xiao Shen Yang and Sun Honglei were at odds, and then revealed that director Zhang Yimou would join hands with Xiao Shen Yang to contribute to the ending song of the movie.
He used all means to get a high box office when the film opened.
As for word of mouth?
Didn't Zhang Yimou know that this movie was a bad movie?
Of course he does.
Some people on the Internet said that Zhang Yimou was forced to shoot him by Zhang Weiping with a knife on his neck.
Although Zhang Weiping does like to interfere with Zhang Yimou's movie shooting, he has not yet reached the point where he can really be forced by Zhang Weiping to make bad movies.
The reason why there is this "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is that Zhang Yimou himself was moved by Zhang Weiping.
Because of the Olympics, Zhang Weiping's new picture has not started work for two years, and he is waiting to be fed, so he sells miserably in front of Zhang Yimou, and he urgently needs Zhang Yimou to come up with a small-cost, but high-box office movie to generate income for the company.
Zhang Yimou couldn't grind him, after all, he had been a "good brother" for many years, and he really couldn't bear Zhang Weiping's company to "drink the northwest wind", so Zhang Yimou postponed the preparation of the literary film "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which seemed to be not profitable, and temporarily launched this "Three Guns Shooting Surprise".
From the beginning of the establishment of this film, it was rushed to sell the box office, and Xiao Shen Yang was invited to shoot it, just to convert his popularity of the Spring Festival Gala into money.
Zhang Yimou also knew that he would be scolded after the release of this movie.
Zhang Weiping's behavior of wasting his reputation to make money for the company, although Zhang Yimou didn't say it, there was still a crack in his heart.
The two have been in a relationship for more than ten years, and it is almost time to part ways.
"This is Director Zhang's own choice, so we outsiders don't need to comment on it." Wu Yuan shook his head and said to Liu Yifei: "Let's go, tomorrow we will start the promotion of "Ghosts". β
He glanced around the VIP room, there were quite a few people coming to Seoul from Huaxia this time.
In addition to Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, the two leading actors, several executives in light and shadow express, as well as some staff of the company's publicity department, add up to the 20th person smaller.
The publicity work of "Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts" is an important work for Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, two actors, to expand their popularity in Asia.
For the two companies of Light and Shadow Express and Light and Shadow Times, it is also an important project for the company's business to go overseas.
Both sides are now in high spirits and ready to fight a big battle to the sea!
No, Wu Yuan, the chief leader of the two companies, personally betrayed his hue to play the leading role!
In the evening, Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi met with the Korean leading actors of "Ghost" at the hotel.
Not to mention how Yang Mi and Lee Dong-wook's eyes are drawn, how excited the Korean actors are to see Wu Yuan again.
After everyone gathered, the first stop was the tvN studio.
tvN has launched a new TV program for the TV series "Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts", which is similar to an artist talk show, inviting its own TV drama stars to promote its new drama.
In South Korea, the three major free-to-air TV stations dominate the Korean TV drama market, and other cable pay stations have no capital or appeal to make TV dramas.
tvN and the CJ Group behind it have the courage to open up the drama market and cooperate with major film and television companies from China is enough to become a hot topic in South Korea.
Now that "Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts" is about to be broadcast, the leading actors of the crew have come to Seoul, South Korea, which naturally attracts the attention of many Korean media and competes for interviews.
Not to mention anything else, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei are still very well-known in South Korea.
In addition, the production company of Light and Shadow Times is not small in the Korean industry.
You must know that each of Zhang Guorong's movies has been released in South Korea, and all of them have achieved millions of viewers!
Now "Walking with God" is still preparing for a Korean release plan, and it is expected to be released on a large scale in South Korea at the end of January.
"Painted Skin 2" also relies on the fame left by its predecessor in South Korea, and it is scheduled earlier than "Walking with God", and it will be released in South Korea on January 10th!
And the production company behind these two films, "Light and Shadow Era", has long been famous in South Korea.
Now the brother company of the light and shadow era "Light and Shadow Express" came to explore the Korean market with the TV series "Ghost", which has triggered the turmoil of the entire Korean entertainment industry!
It was the day after Wu Yuan and others arrived in South Korea.
All major newspapers in South Korea coincidentally published the news of their arrival in the most eye-catching position as the headline of the next day's newspaper!
