Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 662

After the college entrance examination, the summer vacation comes, and it is the annual summer vacation. The major film and television companies start to compete for this summer, and variety shows frequently appear.

The all-star lineup is scheduled for July [-]th. At the beginning, the film lineup was the highest in the entire summer. In terms of box office appeal, with so many stars and Nanjing's signature, it is difficult to meet opponents.

In order to avoid the edge, other film and television companies have changed their files or postponed the release time of their own films.

However, there is one exception, and that is Baichuan Film and Television Company, one of the top ten domestic film and television companies, because the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which they cooperated with the United States, will also be released.

In terms of production team, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was filmed by the world-renowned director Quentin Quentin and the Hollywood team, while Nanjing’s is just a bunch of domestic directors.

In terms of the cast, half of the entertainment industry in Nanjing has been dispatched. In fact, there are many movie kings and movie stars. In Hollywood, Oscar winner Xiao Li played the leading role, and the Golden Globe actress played the supporting role.

Whether it's appeal or influence, Xuezhong seems to be a bit short.

Seeing the business opportunity, the domestic cinemas temporarily withdrew part of the Nanjing film and added it to Hollywood's past.

A few days before the release, Fang Jing opened the premiere ceremony in Yanjing, and he invited almost all the big shots in the circle, including Cheng Long, Pu Cunxin, He Ling, Huang Lei, etc., dozens of directors and screenwriters, and more than 30 first-line artists .

Hu Ge is the protagonist, so of course he had to join the premiere, and many friends in the circle who developed him came to join him.

Those who knew it was the premiere of the movie, but those who didn't know it thought it was some grand awards show.

"Your movie is good, the special effects are very good!" Watching the movie, Cheng Long whispered to Fang Jing next to him, "The actors are also good, it's a blockbuster movie, and the one billion yuan is not in vain."

Fang Jing blushed. Although the publicity was one billion, there was a fart of a billion. It was just a gimmick, and the real investment was more than 4 million.

"Ahem, one billion is a bit exaggerated, but we are still very sincere in terms of special effects. We specially hired the top special effects company in China to do it at a high price, more than 8000 million."

The actor's salary was saved, and Fang Jing invested all the money in the production. More than a dozen special effects companies joined forces and spent more than 8000 million yuan, which is no worse than Hollywood special effects.

Every second burns money, and a lens can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

"I know, some experts on Hong Kong Island told me." Cheng Long said with a smile, "Your movie caused a big sensation before it was released. Is it going to be released on both sides of the Taiwan Strait this time?"

"Yes, together with Hong Kong Island and mainland China, if the box office is good in the later stage, I will consider releasing it overseas, but I am afraid that this film will not go well abroad, so I am mentally prepared."

Foreigners may not be able to appreciate domestic martial arts films, because of cultural differences.

Seeing Fang Jing's countless, Cheng Long didn't say anything, and after a while, he said, "What do you think of the past in Hollywood?"

"Hehe, I will boycott him tomorrow, it's not a big problem."

Hollywood released it overseas a few days ago, and the box office broke Quentin's previous record.

Originally, it was a mouthpiece, but it was knocked to the ground two or three times, and then the head was ridden by the buttocks. It is said that the actor repeatedly protested and changed it a little, and fell to the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

This part of the film caused the most heated discussion abroad. Many Chinese were angry after watching it. Bruce Lee's fans were even more angry and cursed. His wife directly sued Quentin.

Nodding his head, Cheng Long said calmly: "After the millennium, Hollywood has been occupying the mainland market, and our Chinese films have won glory in the past few years. Otherwise, they would have been the box office champions every year."

"Just go ahead and do it. Don't worry if the film schedule is low. The box office on the first day is good, and it will definitely rise later. As long as you press Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for a week, the summer vacation will be your Nanjing after a week."

Fang Jing was puzzled, "Really?"

"You can't do what I said?" Cheng Long said with his legs crossed, "Hollywood has long been disliked. In order to make money, they will do everything they can, even coaxing and defrauding many of our artists."

"Li Lianjie was tricked into going to The Matrix, and in the end all the martial arts scenes were copied, and he didn't appear on the scene for a second. The same is true for Wu Jing. His name was used for publicity, but the scene was cut to nothing...

Cheng Long told Fang Jing a lot of Hollywood inside stories. In order to enter the domestic market, they will invite Chinese actors to play, but they will play some insulting roles, or they will not let you play at all.

Delete all the scenes you shoot every day when you join the group, and put your name on the poster before it is released to attract domestic audiences.

Fang Jing was depressed, and looked at Cheng Long speechlessly, as if saying that you still asked me to go?

"Our domestic movie tickets are all taken away by foreigners. This is not good. There was no way to do it before, but now it is different. I will discuss it with the Film Association and resolutely boycott the bad atmosphere. Controversial movies, in the future Films are not allowed to be screened."

Fang Jing clicked his tongue, he just wanted to get rid of the old Hollywood movies, but he didn't expect Cheng Long to go straight to take them off the shelves, good guy, ruthless enough, but I like it.

……

At the end of the premiere, the data showed that millions of viewers bought tickets in advance.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Nanjing offered various discounts and paid tens of millions to invite people to watch movies for the sake of publicity. The second and third tier cities were almost full.

Hu Ge and others starred in road shows in more than a dozen cities, day and night, in order to capture more audiences into the cinema.

Baichuan Film and Television has not been idle either, trying its best to promote the Hollywood past, attracting people under the banner of Hollywood.In the evening, Fang Jing posted on Weibo, saying something about rejecting the script of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, adding fuel to their fire.

In an instant, the Internet exploded.

"I don't want to watch this movie, it's disgusting!"

"Quentin has been making money under the banner of claiming to be a Bruce Lee fan. This will show his fangs."

"It's a good thing Fang Jing didn't answer, otherwise this would probably be sprayed to death."

"Foreigners are good at it. They have discovered it a long time ago. As soon as they use the slogan "I love China", there are a lot of Chinese paying for it. For example, those foreigner anchors play this trick very well, but they laugh at us as fools in private."

"Chinese people, wake up, don't be fooled by foreigners again."

"God, if Fang Jing didn't say it, I can't believe this is Quentin's style, Hollywood style."

Fang Jing was not the only one who stood up to boycott Hollywood's past, some older film stars also said they were treated unfairly in Hollywood.

"Unless Chinese actors want to be at the level of Brother Cheng Long, they have no status in Hollywood. Calling you around and cursing are commonplace."

"For actors who want to go abroad and go to Hollywood to develop, I advise you to be cautious. There is not as good as you think, everything starts from scratch, insults, being looked down upon, and laughing at ordinary things..."

Refund, refund!
After a large number of celebrities and entertainers came out to boycott, the film platform has received a lot of refund notices for Hollywood past events every day for a few days.

In order to boycott this movie, Fang Jing even spent money to lock up the movie theaters in some small counties, forcing the movie theaters to show an extra episode of Snowfall.

On July 8000th, Xue Zhong and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were screened together. Just after 600 o'clock in the evening, the box office on the first day came out.

The next day, Xuezhong's single-day box office broke 200 million, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood reached [-] million.

Before the third day, the theaters directly removed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with millions of box office every day, so it’s not as good as joyful, it’s purely standing in the pit and not shitting.

"boom!"

The chairman of Baichuan Film and Television, Yang Baichuan, had a ferocious face and directly smashed the teacup. At this moment, he wanted to kill someone.

"The clay figurine is still angry, the one whose surname is Fang, wait for me, if this matter is over, I will take your surname!"

Yang Baichuan was originally a gangster. He seized the opportunity to start in the 90s. Over the years, film and television have grown bigger and bigger. He is usually kind, but he is definitely a ruthless person behind his back. He used to do things like breaking arms and legs for business. The king of heaven is here. He also has to obediently coil his head, whether he can leave or not depends on his face.

He has restrained himself a lot over the years, but that doesn't mean he's easy to bully.

He invested more than [-] million in the past in Hollywood, plus nearly [-] million in mainland promotion, now that the money is in vain, how can he be reconciled?
