Chapter 228 trailer popularity
"The 02 Beijing Film Academy undergraduate acting class reunion, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen and others showed up."

Online, some reporters have posted news about a dinner party for several people, along with photos of them entering and leaving a hotel restaurant.

It can be seen that Liu Yifei had a lot of fun throughout the whole process and had a smile on her face all the time.

Considering that Zhu Yawen successfully won the male lead in director Lu Yang's new movie, many people were secretly envious. With a classmate like this who has a big director behind him, there is no need to worry about not being able to develop in the circle.

...

Throughout the National Day holiday, the domestic film market was dominated by main-theme movies. Among the many tribute-themed films, "Wolf Totem" which tells the story of ancient romance is undoubtedly the most unique scenery. The "wind" in October is very tight, but the "wolf disaster" is expected to be even worse!
This film is adapted from the original work of the same name by national treasure writer Yasushi Inoue, and was created by Tian Zhuangzhuang over 15 years. It stars the stylish Japanese actor Joe Odagiri and the sexy mixed-race actress Maggie Q. Oscar-winning Emi Wada serves as the chief stylist, and the international team is luxurious.

However, in reality, some movies, even if they have good content, lack effective publicity methods, resulting in unsatisfactory box office results.

After the release of "Wolf Totem", the box office on the first day was only a few hundred thousand, but Tian Zhuangzhuang did not feel disappointed when facing media interviews.

As the backbone of the fifth generation of domestic directors, the international copyright fees for this film have already recovered the cost and even made a lot of money.

Otherwise, the investors are not fools and would invest in Tian Zhuangzhuang's works again and again.

Unlike those old guys who rely on funding from China Film, this guy does have the ability.

As a company in the circle, Xingguang Canlan is not as well-known as other big companies, and it only has one artist, Jingtian.

After Wanda Pictures entered the film production industry in a high-profile manner, Lu Zheng's status as one of the shareholders of Wanda Pictures suddenly rose several levels.

The love-themed movie "My Beautiful Boss", starring Jing Tian and He Rundong, held a high-profile opening ceremony.

Many people from the circle went to show their support, and even Ning Hao went there despite his busy schedule.

"I used to play the role of a playboy who cheated on others, and people always thought I was showing off. This time I want to play a poor and ugly IT white-collar boy. In short, I am penniless."

At the ceremony, He Rundong revealed his identity as the male version of "Cinderella" in a self-deprecating way. He turned misfortune into fortune and fortune into misfortune, and was always in embarrassing situations.

It has to be said that Lu Zheng really put in a lot of effort to promote Jingtian. In addition to the male and female protagonists, Tao Hong, Yin Xiaotian, Wu Dawei, Wu Chenjun, Bao Xiaobo, Fan Ming, Li Zixiong, Jiang Chao and others have also joined.

"Mr. Lu, Director Gu asked me to tell you that he has been busy with his new movie recently and has not sent it over.

But he asked me to wish the film a big success.”

Hearing Ning Hao's words, Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged and the smile on his face remained.

"Thank you, Director Ning."

"The film is positioned as a fashion romance film, and will feature luxurious scenes and props, such as full-length shots of coastal cities, luxurious private mansions, top-level apartments, yachts, and sports cars."

"In addition, a lot of effort was put into the character's styling. The producers ordered limited-edition accessories from the world's top luxury brands. The clothing and accessories used by the heroine Tian in the play alone are worth millions in total."

When Lu Zheng took the stage and faced media interviews, he kept revealing some specific information.

This also led to a lively atmosphere at the scene, with reporters raising their hands to ask questions from time to time.

Director Li Hong and the main creative staff also answered questions with a smile throughout the whole process, and the scene was no worse than the premieres of many big productions.

...

"The 3D blockbuster "Avatar" is about to hit North America, with stunning special effects."

The publicity for "Avatar" has been overwhelming in North America. In addition to "Avatar Day", a new viral marketing campaign has also been launched on virtual websites.

This virtual website will "build a bridge between the two worlds of Earth and Pandora" in the form of text, pictures and videos.

In addition, it set a record of 400 million hits in a single day on apple.com. The attention paid to this movie is rare in recent years.

Some people compare "Avatar" with "Interstellar". Major media outlets around the world are eagerly waiting for it, and some have already published comments in advance.

"This movie is different from Interstellar, it is in pure 3D mode."

When Cameron was interviewed by the Los Angeles Entertainment News in the United States, the other party responded.

"This movie is a pioneer in the 3D era, and I think it will break all previous movie records."

The British newspaper The Times put it more directly.

Cameron's team then released the latest trailer. Once it was released, even the domestic official media specifically reported this in the news.

Thanks to Gu Wei's early promotion, the number of 3D cinemas in China is now increasing rapidly, and this movie is likely to surpass the box office record of the original time and space.

At 20th Century Fox, James Cameron and Fox President Thomas are still communicating on the follow-up matters of "Avatar".

With the trailer out and the anticipation of fans, it can be predicted that this movie will definitely achieve super high box office.

The uneasy hearts of Thomas and the directors of 20th Century Fox gradually calmed down as the news became more popular online.

It's not their fault, it's mainly because it's so difficult for Cameron to make movies.

Whether it was the original "Titanic" or the current "Avatar", the filming process was full of twists and turns. Cameron's habit as the big brother was to overspend again and again, which almost drove the people at Fox crazy.

The $1.4 million budget for "Titanic" was spent before the film was halfway done, and the company almost went bankrupt.

Unexpectedly, "Avatar" continued this style again. The filming funds were increased again and again, which almost made the people at Fox collapse. In the end, everyone had to follow Cameron to gamble.

"Thomas, believe me, this movie will pay off Fox's efforts many times over."

Cameron smiled and said that he had been alone on the throne for 12 years, the gap between the challengers behind him was too big, and he was eager for an opponent. As a top director, what Cameron lacked the least was magnanimity, and "Avatar" was still in his hands. He believed in this masterpiece that had been honed for ten years.

"I heard that Gu Wei is also preparing a new 3D movie, and the investment is expected to be no less than ours."

Thinking of the recent news released by Tomorrow Star Films and Warner, Thomas said thoughtfully, "Gu is a very talented person. I am looking forward to the day when he breaks the record."

Cameron smiled and didn't seem worried. Only someone who had shot a 3D movie himself could understand the difficulty involved.

Besides, it’s a good thing that other people are filming, which will help promote 3D technology in the global film industry.

“Yes, he is very talented.”

.........

"Boss, the Hollywood media are all reporting crazily about Avatar. When will our movie be released?"

On the other side of the ocean, Reid, sitting in his office, called Gu Wei.

In recent days, there have been constant reports about Cameron appearing on the Internet, and Warner Bros. is also constantly urging the launch of a new movie.

Hearing this, Gu Wei was shocked. It was finally coming, but this did not make him feel afraid. On the contrary, he felt a little bit of anticipation.

“Continue to intensify the doomsday propaganda efforts for “2012”.

In addition, I have told Warner Bros. to come to China before the end of the month to discuss cooperation on this film.”

"Should I go over there too, boss?"

Reid was a little confused. In the past, when shooting Hollywood movies, Gu Wei always came here to make the decisions. Why did he suddenly change his mind this time?

"Well, come together then."

This time, China and the United States are co-producing the film, and there are several domestic companies participating. People from Warner Bros. were invited to come over to confirm the investment first. The project approval of the film still has to be done in Los Angeles.

However, Gu Wei plans to let Reid handle these matters.

"Okay, Boss. I haven't seen Crystal for a long time either."

Hearing what Reid said, Gu Wei smiled.

...

I heard that the "The Biography of Sun Tzu", which was invested and filmed by Xing Guang Canlan, made a lot of money from selling the copyright recently.

“The graphics and sound effects are pretty good, but the plot has been changed a lot.

But I heard that the island country has already decided to purchase the copyright, and the price is not low. "

Wang Chen, who is in charge of the company's TV series, has recently focused his attention on TV series in the circle.

"This is normal. Even in other domestic historical dramas, there are imprecise fictional characters and plots."

The island country likes this type of domestic film and television works, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and even mythological and historical themes such as Journey to the West and The Romance of the Gods.

Recently, a film and television company called Xiao Rizi asked him about the copyright of "Painted Skin 2".

However, Gu Wei perfunctorily brushed it off, saying that, just like with Painted Skin 1, the copyright issue would be discussed after the movie was released.

When talking about Journey to the West, we have to mention the IP of Sun Wukong, which still has some influence in the global market. Just look at the remakes in various countries in later generations.

In this regard, Xiao Rizi is definitely a die-hard fan of "Journey to the West". Major TV stations have filmed at least 5 versions of "Journey to the West". Unfortunately, the role of Tang Monk has always been played by popular actresses.

The South Korean version of "Journey to the West" is even more ridiculous. It actually sets the time in modern times. I guess they want to learn from Marvel. Unfortunately, they have Marvel's ambitions but not Marvel's technology, and the things they filmed are difficult to understand.

In addition, there are Australian version, American version, and South Vietnamese version, each of which is so eye-catching that people can't bear to watch it.

Anyway, for TV series like the Four Great Classical Classics, it is basically CCTV that takes the lead in remaking them in China, and other companies have no chance to get involved.

“How is the TV script writing going?”

After saying this, Gu Wei asked about the recent work content of the company's screenwriters.

"I have created many scripts, including urban, ancient costume, and spy war dramas, such as "Parents' Love", "Nirvana in Fire", and "Ode to Joy".

Many of them are adapted from novels, and the specific details of the scripts are still being revised and polished.

It’s just that we have too few TV drama directors, and the idle scripts cannot be filmed.”

Hearing the names of these scripts, Gu Wei felt a little emotional, as most of them were projects in which Noon Sunshine participated in later generations.

After a pause, Wang Chen continued, "Kang Honglei has a script about a modern urban romance."

Wang Chen said a lot, but these are also one of the weaknesses of Xingchen Film and Television, which lacks a large number of excellent TV drama directors and related filming personnel.

"There are two ways. One is to find other directors to work with, and the other is to start new directors. Don't make them fail. Shoot more and you can train new directors."

After thinking for a while, Gu Wei continued, "You can contact Director Kang for that TV series. As long as the script is good, we can invest in it."

"Okay, boss."

"What's the name of the script?"

“Capital Love Story.”
