The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 167 Europe is Terrible, I Want to Go Home ([-] in [-])

"What is the domestic public opinion reaction?"

In the cabin of the plane, Wang Wei asked Wang Chuanqi nonchalantly.

This is the crew's chartered flight to New York, the last stop in North America for publicity. For overseas publicity, Dunhuang chartered a medium-sized plane capable of transoceanic flights.

The rest of the crew, who were quite sleepy from the intensive promotional activities, had already slept in a ball in the guest bedroom in the second half of the plane, but Wang Wei still had to discuss official business with Wang Chuanqi who came from China.

Lao Wang knew very well that this guy's first question was not about official business.

He cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Cough, to sum it up in one sentence - your character design is broken!"

"First of all, Xiaozhen. Well, everyone said that she has only seen her skills in movies and TV shows. I didn't expect it to be staged in real life!"

"Right now, on the Internet in China, netizens have almost only one voice—kneel for her, really kneel!"

——This is bullshit "personal design collapsed", don't think that I don't know that you all admire this little girl even more!
Wang Wei complained in his heart, but he didn't interrupt Lao Wang's words after all.

"And you, the character set has also collapsed."

——Here it comes, I knew I couldn't escape!
Wang Wei's face remained calm, but he roared in his heart.

The smile in Lao Wang's words could not be suppressed, "Well, let me retell some representative remarks on the Internet for you—"

"A netizen said that he has always wondered how Xiaozhen has such a great charm that makes you give up a whole forest for a single tree; now he knows that Xiaozhen's charm is really great, as big as yours. If you dare to cheat, she can beat you into meatloaf..."

"Another netizen said that he understands you very well. A boyfriend should be suppressed by his girlfriend, just like a husband should be controlled by his wife when he returns home..."

"Some netizens said that he is very envious of you. After accepting Xiaozhen's new personality, not to mention, as her boyfriend, he has a special sense of security. He is not afraid of running into gangsters when he goes out in the middle of the night. If he encounters robbers, he will go behind her." Once you hide, with the average strength of those gangsters, even a few of them are not enough to fight her..."

"Okay, no need to talk about it!" Wang Wei said with a dark face.

Old Wang laughed out loud.

In fact, it is not true that Wang Weiren's establishment has collapsed.

At the first moment of danger, he can stand up and stand in front of the girl, which can beat [-]% of men at least.

But who made him have an arrogant girlfriend, so that the comparison was too "tragic"!
"Actually, everyone doesn't really think you're worthless, it's just..."

"Jealousy! Jealousy of my handsome looks, I finally got the chance to see me make a fool of myself, why don't I use my sarcasm?" Wang Wei expressed that he had already seen through everything.

"Uh..." Lao Wang, who was also secretly laughing inwardly, was a little guilty of being told.

Well, Wang Wei also saw it, and looked at this "loving and loving" family with a look of disgust.

Before being teased by him, Pharaoh quickly changed the subject——

"Let's look at the bright side. This time, apart from being a little bit more thrilling...well, it's quite thrilling, but as the saying goes, there is only reward if you put in the effort."

"For example, Xiaozhen's popularity in the western market was far lower than that of the charming villain 'Hannibal', but now, her popularity probably surpasses it."

Of course Wang Wei knew this, even more deeply than him.

Xiaozhen's popularity skyrocketed, and one of the most intuitive consequences was that the DVD sales of her first two works soared in North America.

Neither "Peking Holiday" nor "Genius Gunner" was screened on a large scale in North America, but were directly released to the DVD market.

Although it can't make a lot of money in this way, it is better than accumulating a small amount of money, and a steady flow of water, so Dunhuang didn't buy out the copyright.

Now it seems that this decision could not be more sensible!
——Xiaozhen has a large number of fans in North America. They frantically dig out everything about idols. The two DVDs that gather the movie version and a lot of behind-the-scenes footage are almost everyone's copy. Can it not be sold well?

Old works have benefited so much, let alone "The Silence of the Lambs", which is currently being screened.

When talking about the box office of this movie, Pharaoh beamed with joy,
"Now, the domestic box office has accumulated to 8.6 million yuan, breaking the one billion mark is already a certainty; and in the North American market, it raked in 1.7 million U.S. dollars in the second week alone, and so far, its box office curve has not plunged at all. signs."

"In addition to the world's top two box office overseas markets, its cumulative box office has reached nearly 8 million yuan. There is no doubt that there is still plenty of follow-up potential."

"Therefore, both domestic and foreign box office forecasting agencies have invalidated the original box office estimates-they all said that this is not a movie that can be judged by common sense. The moviegoing crowd is almost exhausted, and it can always set off a new wave of explosions and attract new audiences to enter..."

Wang Wei also showed a bright smile.

Sure enough, when it comes to tickets, it makes people feel more comfortable physically and mentally.

In the current situation, even for him, it is indeed impossible to predict the final destination of the global box office.

But it's safe to assume that the film will be the number one contender for the worldwide box office title of 1992.

As a thriller, it's a myth!
"However, apart from the domestic market, most of the other box office revenues have been eaten by others!"

Lao Wang suddenly suppressed his smile and sighed.

If someone thinks that such a hit movie can enable Dunhuang to achieve "financial freedom", they are really naive.

After all, there are too many people who want to share this cake.

For example, Dunhuang may not even get a quarter of the box office revenue from North American releases; and in other overseas markets that are broader and more dispersed, this proportion will be further reduced.

Among them, a considerable part has been put into the pockets of overseas issuers.

Lao Wang even speculated indignantly, "They may get more box office revenue than Dunhuang."

This is a very helpless point.

Although Dunhuang sent people to supervise, the high popularity also provided them with great convenience in falsely reporting costs-it is difficult for you to distinguish which media are spontaneous propaganda, but the publishers say that they are credited.

Anyway, judging from the current feedback, there are a lot of tricks in it.

Wang Wei also nodded helplessly.

This has touched the pain point of Dunhuang, and it is also the global distribution system of the goal!

Without global distribution capabilities, the price of being exploited by large companies is too high!
Take the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" as an example, that is a loss of hundreds of millions.

However, after communicating with Zhou Wen, the person in charge of the North American office, Wang Wei came to a deep understanding - considering the current situation in Dunhuang, it is too much to think about establishing a global distribution system by itself!

In Zhou Wen's words - "In fact, it is not too difficult to issue in various countries. The problem lies in the promotion and marketing before the release. If we can't have branches or offices in most countries like the Big Five, it is impossible to be in Do a good job in relevant marketing work in a short period of time..."

This is not a question of willingness to spend money.

For example, Dunhuang doesn't care about money, it has opened up all the branches and recruited all the people, and then...do you have so many movies released globally every year?
If not, I'm sorry, for the real industry elite, it is impossible for them to enter this kind of distribution department that may only release one or two movies a year, and there is not much future.

What's more, with Dunhuang's current scale, it is simply a joke to open dozens of branches.

"It's better to maintain a few offices in North America, Europe and other places first, and then improve the production capacity, and then consider other things-not to mention, if there are two "Silence of the Lambs" every year, everything will be easy to handle." Lao Wang shook his head and said.

Wang Wei rolled his eyes, "You might as well expect me to be shot twice a year to be more reliable!"

Lao Wang showed a thoughtful expression.

——You really miss it! ?

Wang Wei roared again in his heart.

Of course, this is just a joke. The main reason why Lao Wang went to the United States this time is because Zhou Wen picked two small studios suitable for acquisition-this is the starting point for Dunhuang to improve the level of global production.

Two takeover targets, one in Hollywood in Los Angeles and one in... New York.

Not to mention, New York's film and television industry is quite developed.

Therefore, after the plane landed, Wang Wei continued to lead the crew to carry out the publicity in full swing, while Lao Wang led people to investigate the target company in a low-key manner.

……

There will be no results from Lao Wang's side for a while, but the crew didn't stay in New York for too long, and they were going to cross the Atlantic and fly to Europe to carry out publicity.

The first stop in Europe is the UK.

Although in theory, the European film market treats Hollywood and China Entertainment equally.

However, there is no cultural barrier between Hollywood and European countries, and there is no strategic offensive and defensive consideration of cultural export. Therefore, it cannot be said that Europe is Hollywood’s backyard, but the share of Hollywood movies in Europe far exceeds that of Chinese-language movies.

Of course, this is not a problem for the announcement of "Lamb".

Now that this movie has become a big trend in the world, the crew is not so much here to promote it as it is to develop contacts.

For example, in the UK, a large number of colleagues—actors and directors—welcome the arrival of Chinese people.

This is not difficult to understand.

The basic skills of British actors are generally relatively solid, but like European countries, the domestic market is too small, and they cannot really unite, and they cannot support the country's film and television industry ecological chain at all.

In this way, don't you have to "go to sea to make a living"?

Hollywood is of course their first choice. In fact, in Hollywood, the influence of the British gang is not small.

But Huaguo is the world's largest film market, and there are quite a few British actors who want to make a living in it.

And Wang Wei, who happens to be the most promising director of the new generation in Huaguo, won't he become a favorite?

As for Wang Wei himself... Of course, he is also happy to see it succeed!
On the one hand, British actors have always been famous for their high quality and low price. If you need British and American actors, they are still very good;

On the other hand, Wang Wei is very disapproving of the self-righteous arrogance of the British Empire that has already sunk into the sky, but he also knows that there are quite a few people in this world who are good at it——

From North America to Asia, there are many "elites" who like the British aristocracy.

——If there is a chance, these people's money is not for nothing!
In this way, the two sides hit it off, until——

At a party, when a handsome young actor greeted Wang Wei, his eyes involuntarily fell on his broad shoulders, back and hips, and his face turned red.

A strange feeling surged in Wang Wei's heart.

Another glimpse of a handsome man, staring at himself, licking his lips, his eyes blurred.

The feeling that something was wrong in Wang Wei's heart became stronger.

Finally, there was a male investor with a somewhat feminine appearance. When he introduced himself, he held Wang Wei's hand tightly, and when he let go, he gently scratched his palm.

Wang Weiru was struck by lightning!

——Did I get teased?Or was he teased by a man?

Gan!
He finally understood what was wrong!
With the name of the British Rotten Kingdom, it is famous all over the world just like its dark cooking style, how could he forget it? !

Realizing this, Wang Wei's face turned green!
——I’m an out-and-out straight man, what do you think I look like I’m interested in the same sex! ? ?

As everyone knows, they may not think that Wang Wei is "ji", but they can't restrain their interest in Wang Wei!

He is handsome, tall, has a good smile, beautiful eyes, and smooth skin... The key is, he is still "weak", so take it properly!
Wang Wei didn't know, but if he knew, he would probably be furious...well, he's about to be furious now!
"MMP, if I don't let the name of the British corrupt country spread all over the world, if I don't let people think of selling bases and selling rot when they mention British people, I won't be named Wang!"

After returning to the hotel, Wang Wei wanted to scald his hands with boiling water to disinfect them, and swore viciously.

Shen Zhenyi, who knew the ins and outs, looked at Wang Wei's expression of "Britain is too dangerous", and giggled heartlessly.

He (she) didn't know that this was just the first blow of Wang Wei's trip to Europe!
Just arrived in the second stop in France, Wang Wei was hit hard again!
The French, we all know that the pursuit of romance is written into their genes.

As for the explosive points caused by the "Lamb" crew, they are not like people in other countries who are most concerned about the murderer who surrendered, or the charismatic dark idol Hannibal, or Shen Zhenyi's extraordinary skills, but——

"When a man really loves you, he will use the most clumsy way to do the most sincere thing; the king of Huaguo is the kind of man who moves all women."

"When danger strikes, he subconsciously uses his physical body to block bullets for his lover; he is so weak, yet so fearless, which is admirable..."

I admire your sister!
Seeing "he is so weak but so brave" overwhelmingly in the French media, Wang Wei almost exploded with anger!

"Hey! If the French were not led by a woman or a foreigner, who would they have won in a heads-up?"

"My combat power is like a baguette. It looks like a fangs and claws, but it's not very soft; I don't know why they say I'm weak. Do you think I'm a flirtatious French man just because of quarrels? Dare to come alone Pick?"

"MMP, Europe is too unfriendly to stay here, pack up and go home!"

Shen Zhenyi looked at Wang Wei's appearance of jumping while complaining, and couldn't hold back a smile, and a conniving arc was drawn at the corner of her mouth.

She thinks this little bamboo horse is so cute!

These days, so many media, so many people, either maliciously or ridiculed, are emphasizing that he is "a weak chicken".

In this situation, she believes, most men will, consciously or unconsciously, blame the person who made him "make a fool of themselves."

But Wang Wei did not!

He made complaints, he hated people, and he had a poisonous tongue, but he didn't intend to anger her at all——Shen Zhenyi's perception of people's emotions was beyond ordinary people's imagination, and she was sure she didn't.

On the one hand, it is probably because he has absolute self-confidence and knows that he is not "weak";
On the other hand, it's probably because...he's so cute!
