Chapter 1270: Film Culture Leads Out

General Administration of Culture.

Ye Wen was busy with the work at hand. The document contained a process chart for international cultural exchange activities.

Due to some force majeure factors, the event was postponed to a week later.

With more than twenty countries participating, there can be no mistakes in the event.

Rehearsals started a month ago.

During the rehearsal process, some programs were removed and some were added.

The flow chart that Ye Wen is holding in her hand now has undergone major changes compared to the first version.

Looking at the new program on the schedule, she had no objection.

The purpose of rehearsal is to check whether there are any inappropriate programs.

Ye Wen put down the process chart, opened the calendar on the computer, and glanced at the date.

There will be a final rehearsal in three days, and if there are no problems, this flow sheet will be the final version.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Ye Wen's thoughts.

"Come in."

The office door opened, and the assistant walked in. He walked to the desk, handed over the documents with both hands, and said, "Director Ye, we recently received an application letter from some Southeast Asian countries. They want to introduce Tan Yue's movie "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Moonlight Treasures."

Ye Wen, who was reaching for the document, paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Are you going to introduce Tan Yue's new movie?"

"Yes." The assistant said, "They sent me an application letter this morning. I guess they had discussed it. They want to bring "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box" to theaters for screening."

Ye Wen opened the file and looked at the countries listed. There were Singapore, Malaysia...

Ye Wen smiled slightly. She had to admit that this was quite unexpected.

After all, "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box" is a nonsensical comedy film. Unlike other types of films, the language and cultural barriers will make it difficult for foreign audiences to understand what the film is about.

Comedy movies are most about the laughs.

Many of the jokes in nonsensical comedies are in the language.

Ye Wen knew this clearly, after all, she had also watched "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box".

When Tan Yue decided to release the film only in China, she thought it was precisely this aspect that she took into consideration.

And now, countries in Southeast Asia are actually thinking about introducing it.

Ye Wen thought about it carefully and felt that perhaps they wanted to introduce this movie because of Tan Yue's fame.

When foreign netizens learned that Tan Yue’s new work would not be released simultaneously around the world, many of them were sad.

Ye Wen put the file aside and said, "I'll contact Brilliant Entertainment later. You go ahead and do your work."

"Ok."

Watching the assistant turn and leave, Ye Wen glanced at the documents at hand and felt very happy.

After all, this is a good thing.

Other countries want to introduce domestic films, which is also a disguised way to increase the influence of Chinese films.

Ye Wen stood up, took her cell phone to the window, found Tan Yue's cell phone number and dialed it.

She sighed in her heart: "It is still necessary to gain international fame so that it will be easier for the film to go abroad."

Just like now, other countries come directly to us and want to introduce movies.

But it is easier said than done. For many years, Tan Yue was the only Chinese director who made a name for himself in the global film market.

With a slight vibration, the call was connected, and Tan Yue's voice came from the phone: "Director Ye."

"What are you busy with, Mr. Tan?" Ye Wen was naturally in a very good mood now.

"I just got back from vacation and am processing company documents."

Ye Wen smiled and said, "I have good news."

"good news?"

Ye Wen explained: "Early this morning, we received applications from several countries in Southeast Asia. They want to introduce your film."

"Which one?"

"They want to bring the movie 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box' to their country, and they're calling you to see what you think."

Tan Yue was very happy to hear that it was this movie, and that it would be screened in a Southeast Asian country, so he answered without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem on my side."

He never thought of taking "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" beyond the domestic film market. If Southeast Asian countries wanted to introduce it, there was no reason to refuse.

"Okay then, I'll ask them to finalize this matter as soon as possible and see if it can be released next month."

"Okay, thank you Director Ye."

Tan Yue naturally understood why Ye Wen wanted the movie to be released as soon as possible.

Judging from the box office performance of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box", the release date will definitely be delayed.

If it is released overseas as soon as possible, it can earn more box office revenue.

"It's a small matter." Ye Wen said, "Once I confirm it, I will send someone to contact your company."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Ye."

The two ended the call.

Ye Wen immediately called her assistant to the office and arranged the next tasks.

Her goal is to promote domestic films to the world, and she is working hard step by step.

After finishing her work, Ye Wen picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Today's incident was not only sudden, but also a surprise.

Don't think of it as just introducing a movie, they are laying the foundation for the future.

……

Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

"Xiao Ye, ask Engineer Wu and Zheng to come over for a moment."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." After hanging up the phone, Chen Ye got up and took the elevator to the public relations department first.

After receiving the notice, Mr. Wu went to the president's office immediately.

Now that "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" is in theaters, he thought there might be something wrong with the movie.

Engineer Wu hurried to the president's office, knocked on the door and walked in, asking, "Boss Tan, is there something wrong with the movie?"

"No." Tan Yue said, "But this matter is also related to the movie. Wait for Zheng Tong first, he will be here soon."

Wu Gong nodded slightly.

moment.

Zheng Tong also came over in a hurry, thinking the same thing as Mr. Wu.

Tan Yue put down the documents in his hand and said, "I received a call from Director Ye Wen. Some countries in Southeast Asia want to introduce "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box"."

Wu Gong and Zheng Tong looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Zheng Tongdao: “This is a good thing!”

Tan Yue nodded and said, "That's right."

"Mr. Tan, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Engineer Wu said.

"You said."

"A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box is a nonsensical movie. I'm worried that they won't understand the content of the movie."

When this topic was mentioned, Zheng Tong, who was originally happy, suddenly became worried.

Not being able to understand the content of the movie means that it will not achieve good box office results, which will definitely have an impact on Tan Yue.

"I've thought about this issue as well," said Tan Yue. "This time the movie wasn't released globally, and that's why I'm worried about it. However, since some countries want to introduce it, let's just treat it as an attempt." Engineer Wu and Zheng Tong listened carefully.

Tan Yue continued, "If it succeeds, this kind of nonsensical movie can be shown in these Southeast Asian countries in the future. If it fails, it won't have much impact, just a few countries."

"That's right." Mr. Wu nodded.

"Boss Zheng," Tan Yue said, "Director Ye is trying to get the film released next month. We will be notified when there is a result. You will be responsible for connecting with the General Administration of Culture, including the preparations before the release."

"give it to me."

"Boss Wu," Tan Yue arranged, "Since it is going to be released, it will definitely need promotion. I'll leave the promotion plan to you."

"it is good."

Tan Yue said: "This opportunity is rare, so prepare well."

……

The office next door.

The secretary left with the documents, and Chen Ziyu stood up and stretched.

Several hours have passed since I came to the company in the morning, and I have been processing documents without stopping.

Looking at the empty desk, Chen Ziyu took a deep breath and gently rubbed his temples.

Whether it is a project they are currently collaborating on or a project they are about to collaborate on, she needs to check it carefully.

There were no more documents to be processed. Chen Ziyu glanced at the time and saw that he still had more than twenty minutes before lunch.

It was boring to stay in the office with nothing to do, so she was thinking about going to see Tan Yue.

moment.

Chen Ziyu came out of the office and took two steps when he saw Wu Gong and Zheng Tong coming out of Tan Yue's office. He thought to himself, "Could there be something wrong with the movie?"

Chen Ziyu immediately became worried and unconsciously quickened the pace of his steps.

"Mr. Chen."

Mr. Wu and Zheng Tong greeted at the same time.

Chen Ziyu responded with a "hmm", and looking at the smiles on Wu Gong and Zheng Tong's faces, he felt that there should be no problem with the movie.

"Mr. Chen, let's go back first."

"Go ahead." Chen Ziyu walked into the office.

"Tzuyu."

"I just saw Engineer Wu and Zheng Tong coming over. Could there be something wrong with the movie?"

"No." Tan Yue smiled and said, "Director Ye called and said that countries in Southeast Asia want to introduce "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box". I asked Engineer Wu, Zheng Tong and others to come over and arrange some tasks."

"We're going to introduce a new movie!" Chen Ziyu sat on the chair, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Good news! Good news!"

Originally, this film was not planned to be released abroad.

And as some other countries introduce the film, it will not only achieve box office results, but also provide an opportunity to expand Tan Yue's international popularity.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

Tan Yue said: "Director Ye is still discussing some details with them, preparing to release "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" next month."

"That would be even better." Chen Ziyu said.

The longer it is delayed, the greater the impact on the box office results will be.

Especially after the film is taken off the screen in China, it must be put on the video playback platform.

Tan Yue leaned back in his chair and said, "I guess there will be results soon."

One thing happened after another, and he felt a little tired.

"If it can be released, we should hurry up to promote it."

"I have experience in promoting movies in these Southeast Asian countries. Don't worry, there is still enough time."

Chen Ziyu nodded.

After all, the situation at home is different from that abroad, so it is reasonable to worry.

The two chatted.

Tan Yue had also finished his work and was ready to sit for a while before going to eat.

"Have you seen this video on Douyin recently?" Chen Ziyu held the phone upright in front of Tan Yue.

“I’ve seen a few.”

"A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" is very popular on Douyin, and many video bloggers are imitating the plot of the movie.

The most popular one is the one where Zhizunbao stands under the moon holding the Moon Box and recites a spell to travel through time.

Many bloggers imitated this scene to make up for their previous regrets, which caused great popularity on Douyin.

Chen Ziyu took back his phone and said, "This is quite interesting. It has both family love and patriotism. It makes people cry when they see it."

“Perhaps everyone has something regrettable, which can arouse everyone’s empathy.”

Chen Ziyu said: "Do you know that there is another topic that is also being discussed a lot? More and more people are discussing it recently."

"What topic?"

“Everyone is talking about when the second part will come out.”

The movie ends with "Supreme Treasure" accidentally traveling back in time five hundred years ago and meeting "Pansidaxian" who gave him three moles, also known as "Fairy Zixia".

"I don't know either. Let's look back."

Chen Ziyu looked at his phone and said, "Now many people are helping you write the plot for the second part."

"There are many talented netizens." Tan Yue smiled.

He has seen all kinds of hilarious comments in the comment section.

"Look at this." Chen Ziyu said, "In the end, Zhizunbao regained his memory and became the real Sun Wukong."

Every time she saw comments about the subsequent plot online, she would stop and take a look.

But I haven't seen any interesting ones so far.

This is a nonsensical movie after all.

If the plot is too mediocre, how can it be called a nonsensical comedy?

Tan Yue nodded and said jokingly, "How about I tell you the rest of the story now?"

"No." Chen Ziyu refused: "Now that I know the plot, there's no point in watching the movie again. I want to wait until the second part is released before I watch it."

Tan Yue said cheerfully, "You have to think about it carefully. We don't know when the second part will be filmed. It may take a year, three years, or even longer. Are you sure you want to wait?"

"The audience is waiting, and I think I can wait as well."

In fact, Chen Ziyu really wanted to know the rest of the story, but reason told her to go to the cinema to watch it.

"Well."

As for when to shoot the second part, Tan Yue really hasn't thought about this question.

Moreover, "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" has just been released for a week and will be released overseas later. Even if the second part is filmed after the first one, it will take some time to wait.

"This comment is quite interesting. It is possible that Zhizunbao will have a love story with Fairy Zixia. His basis for this is that Fairy Zixia gave Zhizunbao three moles." After he finished speaking, Chen Ziyu looked at Tan Yue.

Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu without changing his expression and said, "I'll think about it and write it like this later."

Chen Ziyu smiled slightly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Tan Yue stood up and said, "Let's go eat."

"Time flies!" Chen Ziyu felt like he had only watched two videos and more than 20 minutes had passed. "Sure enough, I can't watch Douyin while at work."

Two people came out of the office and took the elevator to the restaurant on the first floor.
