Golden Age 1990

Chapter 238: Using foreign countries to respect yourself? (4000 words)
"No, let's just say that Bai Feng is really so generous this time?"

"Whether he is righteous or not is not the key. The key is that it can be released. Moreover, this schedule is quite good. Many people are paying attention to this schedule now."

"What you said makes sense, but..."

"My big brother, no matter what, the movie has to be released now, so we might as well think of some better ways."

"Then you mean..."

"Let's take the initiative first."

"Well, that makes sense."

Naturally, the Wang brothers also heard the news about the release of "Swordsmen of Two Flags Town 2" from He Ping, and this schedule... He Ping really didn't hide it at all, she made it clear directly.

It was Bai Feng who helped.

However, this schedule is also well arranged.

In fact, even now, we really can’t say for sure which schedule is better in our mainland’s domestic film market.

Let’s just look at it for now… Is the summer season good?

I really didn't see it.

Because this year is the year when the Hollywood blockbuster "The Lion King" made a big move, and their methods are indeed very strong.

Not just various outdoor advertisements, but also poster campaigns in movie theaters.

There were even a lot of advertisements on TV stations, and the music of this movie is very outstanding. Although the movie is indeed plagiarized, the music is really strong.

Not only TV stations, but MTV also promoted it.

Of course, for now, we in mainland China cannot see the so-called MTV channel. We can only see some of the programs, some of which are from RTHK, and some of which are in cooperation with mainland TV stations.

Although MTV is not that fixed at the moment, just like the MTV channel in the United States, this program is very Western-style.

It's really like this, very attractive to young people.

And, for our time, music is really great!

Well, people who live in this era will definitely not imagine how bad the Chinese music scene will be in 30 or [-] years.

No matter how good it is, in fact, in terms of global trends, music as a whole is in a downward trend.

Regardless of these circumstances that people today are not aware of, speaking of current music, it is indeed very well done.

Ever since, this "The Lion King" really gave a very bright box office performance.

There are experts in film, and they have basically seen it.

If the summer season was created by the movie "Jaws," then the summer season of our Chinese film market would have to be "The Lion King."

Although we haven't passed this year yet, and we still don't know what next year will be like, but to put it simply, the summer schedule is available, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But what about the performance of our Chinese films in the summer season?

It seems like there's really nothing eye-catching about it.

Right now, it's still the same as before, with Hong Kong's summer schedule being even more impressive.

So, how to arrange the schedule?

This matter... our former domestic film workers, that is really interesting.

It can be said that most people actually don't care about the schedule issue at all.

That is, studios don’t really care when a movie is released.

It's really about highlighting a free-spirited movie, like the previous successful "Farewell My Concubine".

This movie is released in March, which is a notoriously slow month.

Let’s just say, if you are really serious about it, you should do it after the Cannes Film Festival.

Fortunately, now there is Bai Feng's operation.

That is to say, "Farewell My Concubine" was released in March in Hong Kong, and it was at the stage of winning awards in our mainland.

In fact, if the situation in the original time and space were to be followed, this movie would not have been successful at the box office.

It only got more than 900 million in Hong Kong, and the box office statistics in our mainland were actually not much. After all, the box office statistics in our mainland were still a bit messy at that time.

After going abroad, I actually made a lot of money, which is what makes that bitch Xu Feng happy.

Now it's the Wang brothers' turn. This time they have found a big director and finally a good project.

So how should the schedule be arranged for the sequel to "Two Flags: Swordsmen"?
In fact, this is not a sequel to "Two Flags: Swordsmen". There is not much connection in the plot, but it is a continuation of the previous work in terms of style.

Whether it is the shooting location, the scenery shots that were originally praised, or the makeup of the characters, it is almost the same as "The Swordsman in Two Flags".

He is also wearing the kind of sheepskin jacket from the northwest, which is also the customs and customs there.

However, the name is actually "Sunlight Canyon".

But compared with the previous part, this drama is completely different from the previous one!
The male protagonist in this film is Feng Yi, and the female protagonist is Yang Guimei, a well-known Taiwanese actor.

Don't underestimate the actress Yang Guimei, she is not an ordinary person.

Her movie "Mom Love Me Again" really made everyone's tears in our mainland.

It's really like this. Many organizations organized viewings of this movie, and many people burst into tears after watching it.

The song "Only Mom is Good in the World" has spread all over the country.

Moreover, with Ms. Yang, this is a typical co-production.

The boss will take it seriously.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this work directed by He Ping is definitely very exciting.

The current consideration of the Wang brothers is... just looking at the schedule.

It really must be said that there is no problem with the arrangement of that guy Bai Feng.

And, to be exact, they are now strongly emphasizing that the movie will be released during the Chinese New Year!
Why?

This is their 'first move'.

Berlin Film Festival!
Skillful!

Next year’s Spring Festival coincides with the opening of the Berlin Film Festival!
Get the prize!

If it can win an award, it will be the best advertisement!

Yes, it can indeed play such a role at the moment.

The Wang brothers are actually still in the learning stage, but they still understand the significance of winning the award.

It's like why our current movie studios or many filmmakers don't care much about when it will be released.

Because if it can win an award, especially if it wins an award at a well-known overseas film festival, then it will be easy to say whether it will be released or not.

To start this mode, you have to mention "Red Sorghum".

This movie is a typical example. After winning international awards, it set off a movie-watching craze in China.

It was through this film that Zhang Yimou suddenly suppressed his old classmate Chen Kai.

There are many more examples later.

And this year it feels so good, oh yes, it’s next year.

What a coincidence, next year's Berlin Film Festival will be during our Spring Festival.

The opening there seems to be a few days before our Spring Festival.

This time is amazing.

Therefore, as long as this "Sunlight Canyon" can win the grand prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

Does this need to be said?
The film their brothers have invested in this time will definitely achieve excellent box office results!

As for competing with Bai Feng's movie...the Wang brothers are also confident.

Even if you, Bai Feng, have contributed to the reform of the cinema chain system in mainland China, you have indeed achieved success and you have indeed controlled some cinema chains.

However, this "Sunlight Canyon" is a collaboration with Taiwan.

This is what the higher-ups are concerned about!

With this factor, you will definitely not suffer in terms of film arrangement.

What's more, winning a prize?

So, how to do this?
The Wang brothers were not fools, and they immediately contacted Yu Xiaosheng.

……

"What? Marco Muller?" "Yes, this is the person. As long as we get rid of him, it will be easy to win the prize."

"This person..."

"The previous "Red Sorghum" and many movies actually have his shadow."

"so smart?"

"I went to school in the Northeast before, so I can be considered a fellow from the Northeast."

"Really or not? Hey... wait a minute, I seem to have heard of this person getting married in China."

"Correct!"

"Well!"

Yu Xiaosheng has been relatively quiet for a while. After all, he is still quite powerful in controlling agents.

Even though it’s all garbage time, garbage time is also a time period, and if you get a lot, it’s quite scary.

Currently in the advertising industry, Yu Xiaosheng is still the one who has received the most medical advertisements.

Well, to be precise, medicine and health products.

Therefore, the strength is still very strong.

But now, Yu Xiaosheng also found it difficult to move forward.

That guy Bai Feng's strength has grown rapidly, and he has a lot of resources at hand.

There is no way, Yu Xiaosheng occupies the medical field, while Bai Feng mainly makes TV series and movies, and he is also very creative.

In this way, many 'technological innovation' products like to come to him.

Well, our scope needs to be wider, such as household appliances, naturally, cell phone video recorders and the like.

In short, in comparison, Bai Feng seems very foreign.

So fashionable.

Look at it this way... In fact, as far as the advertising market is concerned, the ones that pay more attention to advertising and are very powerful are foreign companies.

But those guys from foreign companies tend to trust foreign advertising companies, and Ogilvy is still a behemoth.

Yu Xiaosheng and Bai Feng are already top figures in the domestic advertising field, but Ogilvy can get advertising business from major international companies and brands, so there is really a huge disparity in strength.

But putting Ogilvy's affairs aside first and fighting Bai Feng is what Yu Xiaosheng should do.

After all, there are some things that we can’t help. Those big international brands, tmd, just don’t believe in us, so what can they do?
Of course, the actual situation is not that bad. There are already some international brands, and they have noticed that to cater to the actual situation in China, they also plan to find local Chinese advertising companies to cooperate.

But right now...it's still important to deal with Bai Feng.

Now that the Wang brothers are here, what's going on with them?
Is this a good opportunity?
"I already understand what you two said."

Yu Xiaosheng looked like an old man who repaired cars at the door, but he was very smart. Of course, he immediately understood how to do this method.

To get rid of Marco Mueller, just give him money.

In fact, awards and other awards these days cost money.

Some people boast that foreign countries are clean... How many foreigners have you seen among those big bosses?

It's not like Yu Xiaosheng hasn't tried to deal with big foreign brands. There are many pharmaceutical companies abroad. Why doesn't he want to make money?
But each one of those guys is losing more money than the last one. Damn it, I gave it to them, and they still haven’t done anything about it!

Therefore, those who are incorruptible abroad are just a bunch of trespassers, even worse than the corrupt officials in China.

That is to say, even if you give me money, you won’t get anything done.

However, this Marco Muller seems to be quite reliable. After all, he has already produced several movies before and they were all successful.

So……

At this critical moment when the Wang brothers were glaring at each other, Yu Xiaosheng said it simply.

"I can take this money, it's nothing, but if I suppress Bai Feng, so what?"

This question is really serious, and ordinary people may not understand it.

Before the second child of the Wang family could react, the eldest child laughed first.

"Uncle Yu, we brothers are newcomers in front of you, and we need more learning and support from you. If we can give Bai Feng a hard blow during the Spring Festival next year, then we will seize the film and television opportunities. Resources... we brothers are willing to give you [-]%, Uncle Yu!"

Good guy!As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaosheng laughed.

"Not bad, not bad, we have a happy cooperation."

Eighty percent?

Wang Laoer's eyes widened, but his brother had already shaken hands with him, so there was nothing he could do.

In fact, the two Wang brothers have no choice now. They took out loans before they started making movies.

Naturally, there is no extra money to deal with Marco Muller.

Let's just get this thing done. In fact, Marco Muller didn't take it all. He had to take care of many people. He couldn't take the money alone.

In fact, everyone understands this truth, so no matter what, you have to pay for it.

Their brothers didn't have the money, so they came to Yu Xiaosheng. After all, Yu Xiaosheng was known as the God of Wealth in the circle.

This old guy is really fucking rich!
In the advertising agency market, it is almost in a monopoly position.

Without Bai Feng, apart from those big international companies, he would be the only one left.

However, such an old guy must be given some sweetness.

Eighty percent...this sweetness...

"Brother, did you give me too much?"

"Shit! If you don't say so much, can this old guy agree to help us?"

The Wang brothers took the check and talked about it on the way back.

This is indeed the truth. How could Yu Xiaosheng do something that is not beneficial?

It's just that the Wang brothers are making this plan now.

Can they succeed?

Can the film "Sunlight Canyon" be the best in the Spring Festival movies?
However, their brothers did not know that at the same time that they were asking for money from Yu Xiaosheng, Bai Feng and He Ping were drinking tea in a teahouse in the capital.

This is quite interesting.

Of course they weren't here to drink tea, so what on earth were they talking about?

What's even more interesting is that Bai Feng talked about movies with He Ping at the very beginning, and he also directly talked about the "God of Cookery" that he was going to introduce during the Spring Festival.

"Fengzi, I really thank you."

"Teacher He, what you said is totally out of context."

"But I really don't understand. Are you really so confident in your help this time? Or are you confident in that Mr. Zhou?"

What He Ping said is no problem.

Bai Feng also felt that these were all things that should be asked, but he asked the other way around inexplicably.

"Teacher He, what means do you think the two Wang brothers can use to compete with me?"

"This……"

He Ping could actually think of it, but he couldn't say.

Bai Feng said directly, "Next year's Spring Festival happens to be the Berlin Film Festival. If your film is selected, I hope it will be shortlisted for the main competition."

Good guy!Is your guess so accurate?
He Ping nodded, "Fengzi, you are really smart, but..."

Bai Feng was modest, "I'm not that smart. Many people can think of this trick."

Yes, after all, the timing is quite coincidental.

However, from Bai Feng's point of view...the original "New Year" episode was almost the same as next year.

It's just that "New Year" didn't really enter the Berlin Film Festival.

But what about this time?

Bai Feng asked again simply, "Foreign awards can have a significant impact on the box office of our Chinese movies. Teacher He, do you think this is right?"

Such a question made He Ping frown!
He was speaking from his heart. Why did Bai Feng's words sound like curses?

　Thank you all for your support. It’s a new month and I will work hard. Thank you all.
