853 In the Same Era as Him

| | | -> -> Although many Hollywood directors look down on Huaxia movies, thinking that the special effects in Huaxia movies are 50 cents special effects, Huaxia's so-called blockbuster movies are all boasting, Huaxia movies...

However, they attach great importance to the Huaxia market.

China is a big cake for Hollywood. For every Hollywood movie, as long as it can be released in China, about one-third of its box office results must come from China. Therefore, most Hollywood directors look down on Chinese movies. I am trying my best to make good use of the name of Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese film circle to occupy a hole through various channels of publicity!

Hollywood movies are golden signs.

This golden signboard is very useful.

There used to be a bad Hollywood film called "Killing Alien", after putting up this golden signboard, it forcibly cooperated with all kinds of hype and publicity, and made a lot of money in the Chinese film circle.

Even director Jenkins said a word in private very confidently.

"If it wasn't for the sudden rise of Lu Yuan's "Wanderer", then "Alien Killing" could have made more money in China. After all, although "Alien Killing" is indeed not very good in my opinion, compared with Chinese movies The special effects... tsk tsk... actually it's not a problem to call it a blockbuster..."

Jenkins' words really sounded crazy.

but……

But no one refuted.

When Jenkins said this, Jackson Jr. was there at the time, and he deeply agreed with it.

In his opinion, the signboard of Hollywood movies is really useful. Although China's economy has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, this movie...

Well, still not much progress.

Although I don't know what the future will be like, but the past few years, Huaxia Films has really failed to live up to expectations. This kind of investment has been completely compressed. Jackson couldn't help laughing...

The birth of Lu Yuan has indeed changed the status quo of the Chinese film industry. Many directors were awakened by Lu Yuan and began to pay attention to the quality of the film itself.

This made little Jackson actually a little wary, but the scene of Hollywood movies raging in the Chinese movie circle in August, causing many Chinese movies to hit the street, made little Jackson a little less vigilant.

He feels that no matter how hard Huaxia Movies is at present, they still can't surpass Hollywood movies, at least, it's impossible in the past two years!

Of course, he did not relax his promotion to China.

"Arrival" has actually been widely promoted in China. He has come to China himself several times, brought Hollywood stars to China to interact with fans, and even held a few special events and meetings.

He originally wanted to rely on these publicity, and take advantage of Lu Yuan's absence in Huaxia to create a huge wave of popularity.

but……

He crashed into the giant ship "Symphony of Destiny", and after crashing into "Symphony of Destiny", he encountered the death of Brando...

The huge amount of money invested in the promotion of "Arrival" can't even make a splash in China, and it can't even make it into the top five popularity.

After all, the top five were basically taken over by Lu Yuan.

This is a very sad story.

Then, the bad luck seemed to be just the beginning. Although the premiere of "Arrival" was not dismal in China, it was also extremely disappointing. Even when the movie was released, some people had never heard of it!

This is a Hollywood movie!

Moreover, "Arrival" is not a bad movie like "Alien Killing".

…………………………………

Los Angeles.

In the cafe.

"Director Karl... According to the premiere data in the morning, the occupancy rate of our "Arrival" in China is very unsatisfactory, and what's worse is that no matter how much our company in China promotes, there is no way to generate a little bit of it." The popularity, although the theaters are trying their best to promote and cooperate with the publicity, but the effect is very poor... Wait, damn it! What kind of piano piece is this, change it for me, change it to another piano piece!"

"Sir, this piano piece is Mr. Lu Yuan's most famous "Dream Wedding"..."

"I know! I said, change this piano piece! Change to another one!"

"what?"

"..."

Carl sat across from Jackson Jr.

Little Jackson originally had a calm expression on his face. Even though his voice was full of distress, Little Jackson was still very calm on the surface.

However, after a piano piece played in the coffee shop, Little Jackson slapped the table fiercely in an instant, and his calm expression suddenly became a little ferocious.

Afterwards, the waiter nodded timidly and asked someone to change to a piano piece.

However, when the new piano sounds sounded, little Jackson was so angry that he was going crazy!

"I said, replace it! Didn't you understand?"

"But, sir, we have complied with your request..."

"I mean, don't want Lu Yuan's piano music, you don't understand?"

"Ah... ok, ok..."

When the waiter saw that little Jackson was angry like a bull, his face turned pale with fright, and then he turned away and changed to another piano piece.

After all, this is a small coffee shop, and it was booked by Little Jackson, so the waiter didn't dare to say anything.

When another piano piece of "Autumn Elegy" sounded, little Jackson's expression became slightly better...

"Are you okay?" Carl silently looked at Little Jackson's expression.

It was the first time he saw little Jackson making such a gaffe.

"Director Carl, I'm okay... Maybe I've been a little sensitive recently." Little Jackson sighed quietly. "I used to think he was nothing. What a disgusting thing it is to be in the same era as this guy. His disgust is not only in movies, piano music, and even other aspects... The failure of our "Arrival" promotion is largely due to the collision When it comes to him... the popularity of the three films under his company in China is really crazy..."

"Jackson, you called me suddenly, shouldn't you be talking about this?" Carl asked seriously after listening to little Jackson.

"Director Carl, I want to save "Arrival". Of course, your "Skull King Kong" also needs to be saved. Although your "Skull King Kong" premiered in China not bad, but in fact, its influence is not as good as Lu Yuan's three Movies, and, have you found out? In the United States, we have put in so much effort, and the popularity of our movies is still the same as Lu Yuan's movies?"

"How do you want to save?"

"I think……"

"Sorry, I have a call."

"it is good."

Just when Carl was about to listen to little Jackson's words seriously, his cell phone rang.

He answered the phone, and after saying a few words, his expression changed.

"What's the matter?" Little Jackson asked strangely after seeing Carl's expression.

"The "remote" called me..."

"what phone?"

"Wei Wuji, the director of "Batman", wants to chat with me. He has been calling me for the past two days. I think he might want to recruit me to join the remote..."

"What! Go crazy! You are Carl, the great director of Century Company. He is a long-distance company. How dare he do this for a company that is not large in Hollywood... Wait, my call is coming, and I will answer it too. Phone..." Little Jackson touched the vibrating cell phone and answered it.

Carl watched little Jackson pick up the phone, at first he showed a smile, but then his expression changed instantly!

Then……

"Fart, what qualifications do you "remotely" have to cooperate with me!"

"Our film situation is not ideal? Fart! Wei Wuji, don't be too complacent! Your "Batman" may not be able to beat my "Arrival"!"

"Don't think about it, I think very clearly, don't treat me as a fool!"

"You are remote, what qualifications do you have to invite me!"

"Stop dreaming!"

More than ten minutes later.

Little Jackson hung up the phone as if he had seen a ghost.

The whole person even wanted to scold her!

The call was from Wei Wuji from the remote side.

He didn't know how his phone number was leaked. In short, Wei Wuji called him and asked him to meet, discuss various cooperations, and even chatted with him about the situation of "Arrival" in China, almost "Arrival" If this movie doesn't manage well in China, it will be a burp on the street.

Anyway...

Little Jackson was very angry.

"Mr. Carl, I will try my best to show this arrogant guy!"

"..."

"When did Hollywood movies get looked down upon so much by Huaxia directors? What is he? He really thinks that I value Huaxia's box office, and dare to compare Hollywood's box office with me? Does he have the qualifications? It's a joke! Invite me to dinner ...Where did he get the courage! Just Lu Yuan, I don't believe it, he can cover the sky in China, even if China is his world, but in Hollywood, I don't believe it!" Jackson's face became extremely flushed.

"..."

Little Jackson became more and more angry as he talked. He felt insulted.

Moreover, the one who insulted him turned out to be a Huaxia director whom he had never looked down upon before.

Can he not be angry?

Carl saw Little Jackson's grumpy appearance, and fell silent for a moment.

Although he didn't like that Andor had been saying bad things about Andor in public, deep down in his heart he didn't seem to dislike this Wei Wuji of Huaxia.

He felt that the Huaxia director seemed very sincere.

"Director Karl, let's take a good look at the next publicity, your "Skull King Kong" is also very dangerous... Maybe he is good on Huaxia's side, but on Hollywood's side, our propaganda is still stronger than him, and it is impossible to be He pressed it!"

"..."

afternoon.

"Arrival" Screening Room.

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo!"

Lu Yuan, who was far away in China, sneezed several times in a row.

He touched his nose.

Do you have a cold?

That's not right, I seem to be paying attention to my body.

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo!"

After Lu Yuan sneezed, Fatty Wei, who just came back from the bathroom, sat down and sneezed several times.

"Ah Yuan... Some people just toast and don't eat or drink as fines. They say that he threw himself into the street, but he still doesn't admit it. You see, this is the first day, and there are so many movie seats vacant in front..." Fatty Wei sat down. After coming down, he adjusted his comfortable sitting posture and muttered uncomfortably.

In Wei Fatzi's eyes, I don't know how "Arrival" is doing in Hollywood, but it's over in China.

"Director Wei, did you call Director Little Jackson?"

"Yeah, I was just looking for him to talk about cooperation, and I wanted to meet him for a meal, but that guy looked down on me. We are all directors, who looks down on who! His movies are famous in China. There is a dead end, am I wrong?" Fatty Wei shook his head.

When "Arrival" played on the screen to the middle part, Fatty Wei yawned.

The plot of the movie is okay, and the special effects are okay, but compared with other movies released, this "Arrival" is really uninteresting.
