China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 183

Hearing Wang Zuxian's reminder, Zhang Nanyi joked: "Xiaoxian, why don't you use any means? I like you to be a little crazy."

Wang Zuxian's eyes suddenly became moist, and she said: "Do you have time tonight? If I had known that I would have so many women, I would never come back. When will it be my turn?"

Wang Zuxian came suddenly, and it was indeed not her turn tonight.

Zhang Nanyi said: "Good things are never too late. See you tomorrow night."

After saying this, Zhang Nanyi saw Liu Xiaoli waving to him and knew that the interview was about to begin, so he walked towards the stage.

On the stage, Zhang Nanyi stood among the four beauties, and Huang Xiaoming also came on stage, standing at the edge.

The reporter asked: "Zhang Nanyi, this is your first time acting in a movie. Are you confident about this movie? What are your expectations at the box office?"

"I am very confident in the film, mainly because I worked with director Yu Feihong. I feel that she has great ideas. Teacher Yu has a new look and unique interpretation of love from a female perspective.

I find it very interesting.

What's more, there are excellent actors like Xu Qing, Dong Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Xiaoming in the movie.

Everyone gave excellent and professional performances in the movie. This is the source of my confidence.

As for the box office, my personal expectation is around 2000 million. "

Zhang Nanyi was very honest. His expectation for the box office was 2000 million. The actual filming cost of "Love Is Afterlife" was about 600 million. The total publicity and distribution just reached 1000 million, which was considered to be all Yang Shoucheng's investment.

This movie has a box office of 2000 million, plus various copyright income, it will definitely be no problem to make money.

For a literary romance film to have this achievement, it is considered to be very outstanding. After all, it is only 2004, not an era where the box office will easily exceed [-] million in the future.

Another reporter asked: "Ms. Wang Zuxian also came to the premiere of the movie today. Is she here because of you? Are you a couple?"

Zhang Nanyi looked at the reporter's sign. He was from Xinlang News. He was really good at causing trouble.

He said unhurriedly: "Xiao Xian and I are very good friends. She made a movie last year called Beautiful Shang Hai, and I helped write a theme song for this movie.

That's how we got to know each other.

As a good friend, it is normal for her to come to support my film. I hope media friends will not over-interpret it. "

The reporter arranged by Liu Xiaoli immediately stood up and changed the subject: "Zhang Nanyi, when it comes to movie theme songs, you wrote four songs for the movie Love After Life.

Would it be too crowded to have four songs in one movie? "

"No, I think it's just right. There are four emotional entanglements in Love After Life. You will know after watching the movie.

The four songs correspond to four relationships, and they all talk about the reincarnation of time and space.

These songs were all inspired by me when I was filming this movie, so they fit perfectly with the movie.

I believe that many viewers have heard these four songs. I met a fan the day before yesterday. She told me that just because of these four songs, she felt that the quality of the movie would not be bad and she would definitely buy a ticket to watch it in the cinema. Our movie. "

Subsequently, reporters asked questions. Because Zhang Nanyi was so popular during this period, most of the questions focused on Zhang Nanyi. Half were serious questions related to the movie, and the other half were various scandals and gossip.

Zhang Nanyi's answer was impeccable.

After the interview session ended, the movie started playing.

Zhang Nanyi has watched the completed film Love Is Afterlife several times. Watching it again, I really feel nothing.

But most of the audience was fascinated, especially a Japanese man in the back row, who was completely immersed in the movie.

The beautiful scenes in Yunnan Village, the excellent soundtrack of the movie, and the analysis of reincarnation and love all made this Japanese man extremely addicted.

She feels that every frame, every dialogue, and every interlude in the movie Love is a perfect hit to her own aesthetic.

After watching the movie, there was a burst of applause in the cinema. Although it was not particularly enthusiastic, it was also a kind of positive feedback.

As the host, Yan Yu began to randomly ask some of the guests and the audience about their viewing experience.

Zhao Yanzi: "I like this movie very much. It really demonstrates the complexity and contradiction of love. After watching this movie, I also want to be a director and make a youth romance movie.

We female directors do have a unique perspective in love movies. "

Fan Bingbing: "I give this movie 10 out of 9 points. One point less because Zhang Nanyi is so handsome. Seeing his face on the big screen always distracts me."

Huang Xiaoming: "I can't believe that I actually participated in such a great movie. I'm really honored."

……

Celebrities are here to support me, and of course they give me all kinds of compliments.

The interview with the audience is the most uncontrollable. Yan Yu was about to find a person who had prepared it in advance to ask a few questions.

Unexpectedly, a female audience member in the back row stood up and shouted in not very standard Chinese: "Here, here, I want to speak!"

Everyone noticed the female audience member. Yan Yu looked at Zhang Nanyi. After Zhang Nanyi nodded, she walked to the back row and handed the microphone to the female audience member.

Just listen to her say: "Hello everyone, I am the film purchasing manager of the overseas business department of Japan's Asahi TV, and my name is Ishisai Mimotoko.

I want to say that this movie was very well made. It is a great film work. On behalf of Toei and Asahi, I want to introduce this movie to Japan.

Such a good work must be released in Japan! "The audience was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, among the audience at the premiere was the film purchasing manager of Japanese TV station.

Han Sanpin looked at the calm Zhang Nanyi and suddenly felt that this young man was very interesting and came up with such a clever trick to market his movie.

In Han Sanpin's view, all this was Zhang Nanyi's arrangement.

The Chinese love movie conquered Japanese professionals at the premiere, and the film purchasing department manager of a Japanese film company wanted to buy the film's distribution rights in Japan on the spot.

This is a huge publicity stunt.

After all, the overall public opinion atmosphere in China at this time is that the moon abroad is relatively round.

If something can be recognized by foreigners, the domestic audience will be interested in it, and even feel proud and honored.

This method is exactly the same as that used by Very Sweet to win the favor of mainland audiences by using the popularity of Hong Kong and Bay Island areas. No wonder Han Sanpin misunderstood.

But Zhang Nanyi said that this was really just a coincidence, and the name of the film purchasing manager really represented the Japanese people, Ishizai Mimotoko, who was really unqualified.

This is already a very euphemistic expression.

Zhang Nanyi stood up and said: "Ms. Mi Suzi, we will talk privately about the release later. Now it is interview time. Do you have any other opinions on the movie?

There is no need for us to interview other viewers first. "

Ishisai Mimotoko said a lot more excitedly, all of which were full of praise for the movie. It was obvious that the movie scratched her itch.

After Ishizai Mimotoko finished her speech, Yan Yu interviewed a few more audience members, and the premiere ended.

The media reporters all left with satisfaction, and so did the film critics. When they came today, they not only saw many celebrities and big shots, but also received a retouching fee, which was a huge profit.

Zhang Nanyi began to see off the guests. Li Xiaoran and Yan Danchen still knew each other very well, hugged Zhang Nanyi, and left together.

The same is true for Wang Zuxian.

Han Sanpin even came over to chat with Zhang Nanyi. He felt that Zhang Nanyi's marketing skills were very powerful and he was a young man with great potential.

As for Yang Shoucheng, he said: "Mr. Zhang, Love After Life will be released on Hong Kong Island on February 2. It's a pity that you can't go to Hong Kong Island to promote it."

Zhang Nanyi smiled and complimented: "Mr. Yang is in charge of Hong Kong Island, so we are relieved."

Then he whispered: "Mr. Yang, please take some time to participate in the competition for the Golden Phase Award."

Yang Shoucheng said cheerfully: "No problem, I'll take care of it!"

After chatting for a few more words, Yang Shoucheng left.

After sending all his celebrity friends away, Zhang Nanyi, together with Liu Xiaoli, Yan Yu and Yu Feihong, received Japan's Ishizai Mimotoko.

The appearance of this person was completely unexpected, but it did bring a surprise to Zhang Nanyi, and it was also a major publicity stunt.

After chatting with Ishizai Mimotoko for a while, Zhang Nanyi learned about her situation.

This person came to China from Japan specifically to find Nanyi Culture and buy the broadcast rights of Legend of Sword and Fairy in Japan.

TV Asahi is one of the largest TV stations in Japan, but its audience is relatively older, and it is even nicknamed the "TV for the Elderly."

Beginning in September 2003, TV Asahi began to reform, not only changing the station's logo and moving the company headquarters from Akasaka to Roppongi Hills, but also changing the program style.

We want to vigorously develop the young market.

On the one hand, TV Asahi began to produce imaginative and creative dramas such as Black Notebook that young people like to watch. On the other hand, the overseas business department is responsible for introducing foreign TV dramas that suit the tastes of young people.

The Overseas Business Department's main focus was on the United States, Korea and Bay Island. It turned out that Legend of Sword and Fairy was a big hit on Bay Island. After research, they found that the main audience for this drama was young people.

East Asia is a great Confucian cultural circle. Since young people in the Bay Island like the show Fairy Sword, it will definitely be popular when introduced to Japan.

As a result, Ishisai Mimotoko was appointed by the company to come to China to discuss the purchase of the fairy sword because she could speak Chinese.

She was originally planning to go to Mobai, but she happened to see the news about the premiere, and accidentally came to watch the movie Love After Life. She was so excited that she wanted to bring in the movie as well.

After Zhang Nanyi understood the situation, he asked: "I don't know the operation model of Japanese TV station very well. Does your TV station also have a film distribution business?"

Mimotoko Ishisai explained: “Toei Co., Ltd., the major shareholder of our TV station, is one of the five major film companies in Japan.

Our overseas business department not only helps TV Asahi introduce TV dramas, but is also responsible for introducing movies to Toei Co., Ltd. "

After hearing what Ishisai Mimotoko said, Zhang Nan became interested. Selling TV series and movies to Japan could be regarded as cultural export.

In Japan, the most popular Chinese culture is definitely the Three Kingdoms. The speechless Red Cliff was a piece of shit. The upper and lower parts still grossed a combined box office of 106 billion yen in Japan, or more than 5 million national dollars.

In addition to the Three Kingdoms, the most popular Chinese dramas in Japan are The Legend of Zhen Huan and the 06 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and The Return of the Princess is also okay. It can be seen that these costume dramas are very popular in Japan.

Otherwise, Ishisai Mimotoko wouldn’t rush over to buy the broadcast rights.

TV Asahi and Toei do have a lot of influence in Japan. Selling the series to them will help increase the influence of Sword and Love Afterlife and lay a solid foundation for the company's future film and television works to be exported overseas.

But Zhang Nanyi has his own ideas and requirements.
