Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 594 The Rise of the Chinese!

This live broadcast public class is not only Li Zhifan's personal show, but also a platform for him to promote his patriotism.

In front of tens of millions of Americans on a live TV program in the United States, Li Zhifan made this bold move, based on Chinese music, and incidentally praised the prosperity of China at this stage.

This not only allows many Americans to know a different China, the China in the eyes of a Chinese star, but also makes all Chinese in the United States proud of it.

Li Zhifan is not the first Chinese star to appear on an American TV show, nor is he the first star to promote himself in this way, but he is the first Chinese star to stand on the American stage and talk about his patriotism.

The news came back to China two days later.

Because the video copyright of "Talk Tonight" was purchased by a large domestic Internet video platform, the platform will post the edited new video on the Internet on the third day after each episode is broadcast.

This episode was recorded on Friday, US time, but it was already launched on Sunday in China.

Except for the website's internal promotion, there was no special hype outside, and it seemed that everything broke out in a low-key manner.

It wasn't until the news hit the headlines that Timeline began marketing and expanding the publicity. The purpose of the publicity was only to have a relationship with "Wolf Warrior".

Online.

Li Zhifan's patriotic remarks were picked up by netizens, and the tap water was repeated over and over again.

Some of the clips made netizens feel particularly relieved after watching them:
The host Alan Harvey asked Li Zhifan with a slightly contemptuous attitude: "Li, you are already a very famous star in China, but why don't you come to Hollywood to develop? This is a worldwide stage. Is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to develop, and you will end up returning home in despair?"

"I am a Chinese person, and I will never forget my roots. The first condition for me to work in Hollywood is to respect China and respect the identity of the Chinese, not because I want to rely on Chinese stars to gain the Chinese market!"

Li Zhifan said relaxedly and comfortably, "You know, in the past five years, many so-called Hollywood commercial films have been actively inviting Chinese stars to participate in them, but their purpose is not to really appreciate our ability, not because American films need us, but because Because of our familiar faces, their movies can sell more in China, that’s all. This kind of behavior has already disgusted Chinese audiences, and we can’t help the bad guys anymore. As for the world stage, I’m sorry, if you Saying that the stage of sex is Hollywood, I agree, but the world is not just Hollywood."

Alan Harvey couldn't catch up with Li Zhifan's words, and even had a momentary speech blockage. Fortunately, he adjusted in time, and at the same time adapted his strategy, and asked Li Zhifan the second prepared question: "Li, if you After entering Hollywood and achieving good results, will you become an American citizen? Because it will make it easier to work in Hollywood.”

This question was originally a continuation of the previous question, and these two questions were temporarily changed by Alan Harvey himself, because Li Zhifan didn't come to review the draft with him earlier, and he was suspected of getting angry and revenge.

However, he didn't expect that Li Zhifan's on-the-spot response was so good, his eloquence was far superior to his, and his answers were in pure spoken English, and even the cold jokes were American-style humor.

Li Zhifan smiled lightly: "We Chinese are not like some countries, who change their American citizenship because a movie has a slight influence in Hollywood. For example, Chen Jie, who entered the Hollywood market as early as more than ten years ago, oh, it is the Jack you are familiar with. Chen, no matter how he develops in Hollywood, he will return to China to dedicate some works to fans. This is the character of our Chinese. By the way, Alan, I heard that you are Australian, right?"

"Ok!"

Alan Harvey's face turned blue, but he still forced himself to calm down. He didn't expect Li Zhifan to refute this question so neatly, and the last rhetorical question made him feel like he stretched out his fist and hit him in the face.

Under such circumstances, he answered completely involuntarily, and after he finished his answer, he felt that he had fallen into a trap, and immediately defended: "Although I am Australian, my parents are of Irish origin. Americans are the second largest ethnic group, so there is nothing wrong with me becoming an American citizen."

"Hehe, this question is not in our discussion!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Today I mainly talk about music, and what I bring to the students and audience is Chinese music, and it has nothing to do with where you are from."

To fight back like this is to tell Allen that his two questions just now are completely irrelevant to today's topic, please don't show it again.

Allen was at a disadvantage, and couldn't find a better way to fight back against Li Zhifan on the spot, so he had to continue to follow the script. In addition, the producer had given him countless hints from the sidelines. Smart people knew that it was time to end up.

In this passage, Li Zhifan spoke in pure English. His fluent and natural English won praises from many netizens, and what he said was even more praised by netizens.

The comments of the following large group of netizens are all positive comments, which is enough to explain everything.

……

Director Zhou Shilei's new film "Transformed Men and Women" has finished filming, and according to the plan, it will be completed in two weeks. After all, this film has only been filmed for more than a month, which is in line with the current production of most domestic films. process.

Men help film and television.

In the conference room, discussions are underway about the release date of "Transformed Man and Woman".

FHM plans to produce four films this year. In addition to "Wolf Warrior" and "The Truman Show", this "Transformation" is also one of the planned projects. As for the plan for the fourth film, it is still under consideration. Even if it is to start shooting We have to wait until after "Wolf Warrior" and "The Truman Show" are released.

"Zhifan is back!"

The door of the office was pushed open suddenly, and Wang Yue walked in with a smile. Behind him were two assistants with drinks and pastries in their hands, followed by Li Zhifan.

Li Zhifan already had a cup of coffee in his hand, drinking it happily.

"Come back, sit down!"

Zhou Shilei pulled a chair for Li Zhifan, "You, you have caused such a big commotion when you traveled abroad, and now you have caused such a big commotion at home and abroad."

"Why? The online reviews should be pretty good, right?" Li Zhifan asked.

"It's definitely applauded in China, but it's miserable abroad, especially in Hollywood!"

Zhou Shilei smiled wryly, "Many extreme American netizens have criticized you and scolded you. It is estimated that the six major Hollywood companies will also formulate plans against you."

"Don't worry! Today is different!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Do you know who I've been with these few days in the United States?"

"Didn't you go home to see your parents?"

Wang Yue asked in surprise, "Who else have you been in contact with?"

Li Zhifan pretended to be mysterious and said, "Guess!"

"Who? Do we know each other?"

"Come on, don't be a fool!"

Under everyone's urging, Li Zhifan said with a smile: "It's not just one person, but several. These people are not only known to you, but also to the people of the whole country!"

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.

Zhou Shilei subconsciously said: "You can't be meeting the President of the United States, are you? I can't do that!"

"What are you thinking!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "They are all our own!"

Seeing the longing looks on everyone's faces, he just said, "That's it. I met Fang Xiao, Zhu Tianwen, Sun Yuanshan, and Li Fulei in the United States. We stayed together for two days and witnessed a series of big moves."

"Huh!"

"These four?"

"Three of them are the top three in Asia's richest list, and Zhu Tianwen is also a rich man who should not be underestimated. What have you been doing with them?"

"It's not about investing in us, is it?"

"Or do you want to make us bigger and promote us to go public?"

"..."

Li Zhifan was all smiles. In fact, he just had a meal with these people. That is, after he finished the live broadcast of "Talk Tonight", Zhu Tianwen took the initiative to call him, invited him to dinner, and had some entertainment in the evening. Played golf again the next morning.

But during the contact process, Li Zhifan learned several very important news.

"We big brothers are ready to enter Hollywood in the United States!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Let's start with the one with the smallest amount of investment. Zhu Tianwen acquired two theaters in the United States. There are thousands of movie theaters in the United States, nearly 11000 screens, and a total investment of 50 billion US dollars. In the future, Chinese films will be in the market." Mr. Zhu has the final say on the release of this piece in the United States.”

"Hey! 50 billion? Dollars?"

Everyone was stunned. They counted with their fingers and added up the RMB, and finally got the result - more than 300 million RMB. This Zhu Tianwen threw four-fifths of his worth into the United States, so bold ?
Only Li Zhifan knew that Zhu Tianwen completely withdrew from the real estate industry in the three northeastern provinces and transformed into a theater chain and distribution company.

And he seems to have some secret agreement with his younger brother Zhu Tiancai, instead of developing in the whole country, he ran to buy theaters in the United States instead. There must be some unknown reasons.

"Don't be surprised!"

Li Zhifan continued, "Let me go on, and then Sun Yuanshan, he! He also did a small thing, these are his own words, that is, the acquisition of Columbia Entertainment Group."

Columbia Entertainment Group is an old-fashioned American entertainment company. In the early days, film and television songs developed in an all-round way. Especially in the 70s, it produced hundreds of stars. There are TV series, many famous classic American dramas are produced by Brother Entertainment, and there are four TV stations under him, who used to be the second child of Meiyu!

However, since the turn of the millennium, GEG Entertainment has started to go downhill. The shrinking record market and the decline of rock music have wiped out GEG Entertainment's enthusiasm in this sector, and now there are only two projects left: music distribution and performances.

The TV drama market is quite satisfactory. One TV station went bankrupt and sold one, and now there are only two left in hand.

On the contrary, the film market has grown up. Relying on a few American manga IPs in its hands, it firmly occupies the No. 3 seat in the industry in the field of commercial films.

"And then?" Zhou Shilei asked anxiously.

Li Zhifan picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and said slowly: "Li Fulei is quite a legend. He started to enter the American market three years ago. He just bought American game companies at the beginning and became the world's number one game giant." , You must all know this, it is already old news, but because many game companies sold their own derivative film and television IP to many film and television companies when the game was launched, Li Fulei frantically acquired dozens of companies, large and small. The Hollywood film and television company, and the studio with only two people. But now he has integrated them into a film and television company, and it is estimated that in the near future, it will become the seventh largest entertainment giant in Hollywood."

"Such a beep!"

Everyone sighed with emotion: "It's good to have money, you can buy whatever you want."

"Hey, if you listen to the action of the last one, you will know what a bull beep is!"

Li Zhifan laughed, "Fang Xiao, the second richest man in Asia, he is the one who has really done something big, no, how many!"

"Which company did you buy again?"

Zhou Shilei had already seen Li Zhifan's tricks, and asked with a smile.

Colleagues also began to search for relevant clues on the Internet. After searching for the keyword "Fang Xiao's acquisition of the United States", there will inevitably be results, but what everyone sees are expected acquisitions, or some financial companies.

What Li Zhifan wanted to say would certainly not be this kind of news without solid evidence.

"He, he became a shareholder of the Walt Disney head office, took control of Disney Burbank Entertainment Group, and at the same time acquired DreamWorks, the largest special effects production company in Hollywood, and 50.00% of William Entertainment, the number one Hollywood company. Er's controlling stake, now two of the six major entertainment companies in Hollywood want to listen to him, plus Zhu Tianwen, Fang Xiao and Sun Yuanshan, in the future, Hollywood will really listen to us Chinese."

"Such a cow?"

Everyone's surprise turned into horror. This kind of horror is not fear, but a natural psychological reaction when facing a behemoth.

I didn't expect the Chinese to have such a day. Although the biggest power in Hollywood is still the Jews, the Chinese can only be said to be ranked second after doing so much, and it is purely by means of capital, but this change is enough to shock the whole world. .

"So, it is very easy and easy for our movie to be released in the United States?"

"Of course!"

Li Zhifan said, "However, the entertainment industry market in the United States is relatively complicated. It's not just that you have these companies. There are lighting guilds in the United States. These guilds strictly guard the level of Hollywood. Money can buy a company, but it is impossible to buy a guild! And the only way to break into these guilds is to rely on works! "

Speaking of this, Li Zhifan was silent for a long time, and after several deep breaths, he said: "I have already discussed with Mr. Zhu and Mr. Li. They will be responsible for the distribution of all our films in the United States in the future, and the biggest good news is , If we make some banned films that may not be released in China, we are no longer desperate, and we can directly bring them to the United States for release!"
