China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 238 First Day Box Office and [-]v[-]
He Fang and his party got off the plane and took photos with fans, signed autographs, thanked the fans for their support on the spot, and then went to downtown Seoul.

Cineclick Asia is in charge of handling the ground, and they are very good at handling Hollywood's global releases in Korea.

Therefore, the airport pick-up fan group was convened by their company, which made He Fang and the others suddenly realize.

According to Park Fangli, the person in charge of the ground pick-up team, this is very normal in South Korea, especially young boy and girl groups will hold fan meetings, and they will organize fan pick-ups and car pick-ups wherever they go. Live support.

"Look, in the future, domestic companies need to learn a little bit. They have different methods of packaging and gathering popularity." He Fang complained to the crew by the way.

Huang Xiaoming shrugged approvingly, Deng Chao nodded thoughtfully, and the others echoed.

Everyone was chatting and looking at the itinerary letter for the second day sent by the reception team, three fan meetings, one at the cinema, one at the mall, and one at the campus.Then I will accept collective interviews from nearly [-] media, that is, a press conference. In the evening, I will participate in the recording of a variety show called "Haha Dream Show", a program on SBS TV, which is currently very popular in Korea.

According to this schedule, don't think about some activities at night, go back to the hotel early to sleep and refresh yourself is the kingly way.

"Tsk, they did this event very meticulously. The venues are fully equipped very reasonably. They try to cover the target audience as much as possible. They also asked us in detail how to treat fans in the event center." Huang Xiaoming shook his head after watching it.

Which brokerage company and event organizer in China would do this in such a detailed way, it would be nice to maintain order.

"This is the reason why Korean stars are popular in Asia. The reason why we can't even go abroad is not because the works are not as good as others, but because the marketing is not done well." He Fang added.

"I heard that the Koreans learned this from the island country?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

"It's not all the methods of the island countries. There are also their own methods, such as the trainee system, the celebrity packaging promotion system, and their development model for boy and girl groups. It can be said that they are all variants and inheritance of their culture."

"For example, the trainee system originated from the 'apprenticeship system' of their music company in the 80s. At that time, South Korea's entertainment theory and university education were insufficient, and they all relied on the 'apprenticeship system' to learn relevant professional knowledge. And where did the apprenticeship system come from? Hong Kong TVB's artist training class, the Hong Kong model was the best entertainment model in Asia back then."

"After talking about the trainee system, Korean entertainment companies have selected batches of young people in their teens or teens to learn music, performance, dance, etc. from an early age..."

He Fang chatted with everyone about the Hallyu, which has only been developed in Korea for more than ten years. What He Fang said was wonderful, and the listeners were so excited that they arrived at the hotel without knowing it.

Although everyone was not satisfied with what they heard, they took their room cards and went back to their rooms to sleep for the promotion of the next day, and there was no time to eat supper in Seoul.

Because He Fang said that apart from barbecue and stone pot with rice, that is army hot pot and kimchi, there is nothing to eat, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

However, after He Fang returned to the hotel, Park Fangli, the person in charge of the ground reception team, called and asked if he was free to accept a visit from the star of the Korean girl group.

"Now?" He Fang looked at the time and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

"Yes." Pu Fangli replied.

"Forget it, next time, it's too late now, and there are many things to do tomorrow."

"Oh, that's a pity, the person who came here was Kim Taeyeon, the beauty director of Girls' Generation, the most popular girl group in Korea." Park Fangli said on the phone.

"Uh..." He Fang struggled in his heart. He didn't know if it was the celebrity who was arranged by the local pick-up company to receive him, or if the celebrity wanted to come, but when he thought that he had just arrived in a strange place...don't be fooled by someone. Woolen cloth?
I heard that the Korean entertainment industry is also very chaotic, most of them are controlled by gangsters, and they can use any means.

After thinking about it, He Fang still refused.

"Next time, let's talk about it next time when I have time."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, good night, I wish you sweet dreams."

……

He Fang on this side just rejected a seductive temptation, while the fans on the other side were watching a zero-time movie in the theater and were excited.

After 120 minutes, the movie ended, and fans left the movie theater one after another, and then they had their own understanding of "Three Dozens of Bones".

Some movie fans turned on their computers and surfed the Internet as soon as they got home, expressing their views on the movie one after another.

"Some people are either bad or stupid. You take the rhythm and say that this is a bad movie. Obviously I bought tickets to the movie with my girlfriend tomorrow, but I was afraid of seeing a bad movie, so I secretly went tonight tonight. First, I went to the zero point scene. After watching the movie, who told me that it was a bad movie? You stand up and say who in China can make a better "Journey to the West" now, come on, find it out for me. "

"I went to watch it at zero point. Anyway, "Three Fighting the Bone Demon" is at least not deviated from the main line. Therefore, I can accept a certain degree of enrichment in the plot and character. He Fang is right. This is a commercial film, and it is a global film, and it must take care of those audiences who have not seen the original. Therefore, I think there is no problem with proper commercialization, and it is very interesting."

"Thank you to those who scolded bad movies. Once you scolded bad movies, I lowered my expectations. As a result, when I went to the theater to watch it, it surprised me everywhere. The setting of the movie is magnificent, and it feels like it used a lot of Northwest China. The scenery of the province. Not to mention the special effects, anyway, I think it is not worse than "Pacific Rim". The actors and performances are very good, at least I like it very much, the plot is not bad, and the play is very good. I don’t know what they call bad movies. Well, maybe I don't understand."

"I think the adaptation is very good, why? It's because the adaptation of Tang Seng is very in line with what I think is correct. Especially the image of Tang Seng in the TV series is too misleading for everyone. The Xuanzang who has made contributions to all living beings and Buddhism Master Zang was photographed as a cowardly and cowardly monk who only relied on his apprentices to obtain the scriptures. I think this is wrong. And the Tang monk in He Fang's version of "Three Beats of the Bones" is the real Tang monk who sacrificed his life to save others... ..."

"Absolutely top-notch good film, the main points are: first, the special effects are top-notch... second, the popcorn shows a certain amount of thoughtfulness... third, the action scenes and camera use are good... and the fourth is excellent art design... "

"Why is He Fang so stubborn? This is obviously a bad movie. For those who play He Fang, can't you see that this is a bad movie..."

……

Even though it was midnight, the Internet in China was very lively. Fans who went to see "Three Attacks of the Bones" were arguing and discussing.

When He Fang woke up the next day, he checked the domestic Internet, and the public opinion was relatively correct.Douban's current rating is also 7.8 points, and most movie fans agree.

That's right.

By the way, he took a look at the box office of 291 million at the zero point show. This figure is nothing to say. Let's look at the box office trend in the first week, it will be more informative.

"Where, where, where..."

When the crew of "Three Dozens of Bones" came to Hongdae CGV Cinema in Donggyo-dong, Seoul, the audience cheered enthusiastically.

"Young Annihashi!" He Fang also learned a sentence of Korean to greet everyone.

Although it is a recent study, the effect is very good. The audience screamed excitedly, but why do He Fang feel that there are mostly girls?
Faced with He Fang's sudden greeting in Korean, the accompanying creators were stunned for a moment. He Fang has learned this Korean way of interaction in just one night?
"Everyone, is the movie any good?" the host asked.

"nice……"

"Okay then, let's ask the famous international director, Light of Asia, what Director He Fang said..."

Interaction, those questions, those touts, the focus of the activity is not to answer questions, but to get in close contact with movie fans.

As "Three Dozens of Bones" was released one after another in various Asian countries, film critics and professionals from all over the world also went to see it like movie fans.

On the Korean forum theqoo, many discussion posts have sprung up one after another.

"Ah, I have to admit that He Fang made a really good movie. It fits my imagination of "Journey to the West". Korean directors are really damned. When will we be able to make such a blockbuster with mythical special effects? I think our nine The tail fox will definitely look better when photographed."

"I heard that Chinese movie fans didn't buy it, and they all scolded He Fang, saying that this movie is a bad movie. Anyway, I didn't understand what was bad after watching it. It's pretty good."

"Bad movie? The quality of Chinese movies is so high now? Is this kind of movie still a bad movie? Ah... our Korean movies need to work harder."

"Ha, I also think it's a bad movie. The movies made by the Chinese are all bad movies. Long live Korean movies."

"Is the upstairs crazy?"

"I'm a professional director, and I went to see He Fang's "Three Dozens of Bone Demons". Although I was dissatisfied, it turns out that our Korean film technology is really inferior to that of China. We can't make such a blockbuster with special effects, alas, I really don't know what to say..."

"I just watched it for the third time, and I tried to find fault with this movie. Indeed, I found some loopholes in the plot and imperfections in the characters. However, its success is more obvious, otherwise I would have You don't have to read it three times to find out..."

"I heard that He Fang is in Seoul today, I have to meet the director of Light of Asia with my own eyes..."

……

In addition to the Koreans who are commenting, the islanders are also commenting, because "Three Dozens of Bones" has been promoted in the island country as early as a month ago, and everyone has long been familiar with it.

People who have watched the movie on the 2CH forum have expressed their opinions:

"Chinese father is Chinese father. The scenery of the movie is so magnificent that I almost suffocated. The big snow mountain and the big mountain are really shocking. Are these beautiful scenery real in China? Ah, the big country is different. , let me be a Chinese in my next life.”

"Yes, I saw it too. Their tiger is so big, and the dragon is so big and scary, it's so beautiful. And those three goblins are really beautiful, tsk tsk, slick, it makes people drool. This is what I think "Journey to the West" and the "Journey to the West" depicted by the islanders are all wrong, the culture of Chinese fathers is really awesome, envy."

"Ah, this is the movie made by Light of Asia. It has a different momentum. It's not like the movie of an island country. What we see is always depressing, careful, and small everywhere... oh..."

"Come on, I heard that He Fangjun has bought the copyright of our two comics, I believe he will make a good story."

"Ah, yes, directors of those island countries, don't make trouble for good stories, leave it to Mr. He Fang."

"Ha, the tram was not squeezed, and I missed the latest one. Well, I have to wait."

"I just met a pervert on the tram, why didn't Monkey King come over and get rid of all these old people?"

"Hey, don't talk about those old people, I feel that they are robbing us everywhere. Jobs are robbing us, women are also robbing us, and then they scold us young people for not knowing how to endure hardship. Ah, Baga..."

……

Come and see what Hong Kong people say.

"Today I went to see Mainland director He Fang's new film "Three Dozens of Bones". To be honest, it is indeed a higher level than "Legend of the White Snake". The special effects in the Mainland have really improved, and the production is not inferior to Hollywood."

"The adaptation is good. Tang Seng is no longer a timid person. The last responsibility, sacrificing his life to save others, touched me."

"I look forward to what He Fang said will lead Hong Kong films out of the predicament, but is there still hope? As a member of the Hong Kong film industry, I am a little skeptical."

"How Fang said, the cultural integration of the two sides still needs to collide. Generally, the strong side merges with the weak side. Hong Kong filmmakers are unwilling to admit that they are the weak side."

"Three Dozens of Bone Demons" I admit that Tang Seng's portrayal is very successful, the special effects are very good, and the performance of the bones is good. I think everything else is average. However, it is still an excellent commercial film."

"He Fang tried to tell the audience a depth in the movie. I think he did it, at least it didn't make people disgusted."

……

At night, the crew of "Three Dozens of Bones" finally realized how tiring it would be if they were a Korean star.

Don't see that they only promote in one city, Seoul, but the intensity is really not low.

When they finished recording "Haha Dream Show", it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Everyone was exhausted, but they had no time to stay and had to rush to Tokyo overnight.

Those Korean female stars who hoped to get to know and establish a relationship with He Fang were disappointed. They didn't expect He Fang to leave in such a hurry when he came to Korea for the first time.

Fortunately, the plane only takes two and a half hours to reach Tokyo, and they are very close.

"Huh? Arriving so soon? It feels like it's not far from the capital to Shanghai." Huang Xiaoming, who didn't have enough rest, complained a little.

"It was originally a tiny country..."

"Hey, everyone, the latest box office information is out. Let me tell you a good news, the domestic first-day box office is out." After He Fang turned on his phone, he received a message from after midnight.

"How much, how much?" Deng Chao asked anxiously.

"Hey, guess what?" He Fang raised his eyebrows.

"Seeing how happy Director He is, it should be 9000 million." Huang Xiaoming laughed.

"I think it should be hundreds of millions, otherwise he wouldn't be happy like this." Deng Chao guessed.

"How many of you?" He Fang asked several girls.

"How do you guess, Director He, tell me quickly." Pan Zhilin said.

"Okay, then I won't keep it up, the box office on the first day was 10836 million."

"What, what is more than 1 million... ah, more than [-] million? Oh my god, it broke [-] million in a single day?"

"Ah, so high? Today is only Friday, so the day after tomorrow..."

"So, don't sleep for a while, I'll treat you tonight and celebrate!" He Fang waved his fist excitedly.

"Haha, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Everyone is excited, what does this mean?It means that these actors have achieved great success in commercial films, can you not be excited?
This is even fiercer than the Spring Festival, which shows that He Fang's film appeal is really terrifying, and it also shows how violent the growth of the Chinese film market is.

The development of the Chinese film market in this time and space came earlier and more vigorously than in another time and space, because of the disruptors and boosters of Hefang, the industrialization of Huying, and the expansion of theaters driven by Huying International Cinema. With a bigger market.

After getting off the plane, seeing a group of people who were already excited and going crazy, the ground reception team of the island country was shocked, and when they figured out the reason, they all expressed their congratulations.

And He Fang quietly moved to the side of Yan Ran and Pan Zhilin and whispered in their ears: "Tonight I will play one against two."

As soon as He Fang finished speaking, the two of them blushed immediately, but they were excited...

Tonight, the breeze is blowing gently, blowing my heart, so much enthusiasm and anticipation, just waiting for that moment...It always takes hundreds of turns and thousands of times to know the deep meaning...
