"What do you think?"
Caitlin closed the page, looked at trilith and asked faintly.
The video just played on the website is the trailer of iron man!
As Chen mubai's opponents, they naturally want to know everything about their opponents. This movie, which is known as comparable to Hollywood special effects, must have their attention.
"The special effects are really good, not inferior to us." Trilith began to say what he thought.
"However, special effects only depend on the quality of the works. It doesn't mean that the quality of the special effects is high. We will produce several special effects blockbusters every year, which is normal."
"Besides, this is the first time that such a special effect blockbuster has appeared in Huaxia. People in their country are understandably excited, just like when our first special effect blockbuster was released, it caused quite a stir."
"Maybe the box office of this movie will be good in China. This is because the local feelings add to the movie, but it doesn't mean that the international box office is very high. After all, we are used to watching our movies. There are a lot of grand special effects scenes. Fans are no longer satisfied with special effects movies. They need to pursue deeper things, such as the rhythm of the movie, the style of the movie and the style of the movie Narration is very important. If it's not done well, no one will pay for it. "
Trilith paused for a moment, and then said: "I think that although Chen mubai has made good movies before, this is his first time to make science fiction movies. Maybe his focus is more on special effects, which will weaken the plot. This is a common fault of many directors who make science fiction movies. They think that the plot can serve special effects, but it's not right. The audience has been used to the exquisite special effects, On the contrary, they asked for the plot. "
"The rhythm of the movie is very important. Many sci-fi blockbusters are losing money because the director doesn't grasp the audience's psychology and doesn't find what the audience wants to see. There is a body but no soul. From the preview of iron man, I can only see special effects, but I can't see anything else."
"Our films can be popular all over the world, and even the box office rankings of the world are basically our works. This is the precipitation of a hundred years of history. We have divided the rhythm of the film to the extreme. The rhythm narrative accurate to a few minutes or the climax of the plot is the law we have explored in many years of experience, so that we can have our present position, I don't think Chen mubai can do better than us. "
Trilith made his point from a professional point of view.
Caitlin listened to his analysis one by one, her face unchanged, but her eyes were solemn, she was obviously listening carefully, and sometimes her head moved slightly, and she felt that what Trish said was reasonable.
"It's reasonable to say that, but it's enough to show that Chen Mu Bai's position in the world has really made a breakthrough." Caitlin sighed.
As soon as they don't pay attention to it, a powerful opponent has appeared and is still rising under their eyes. At first, they don't like it. They think that Chen mubai, like many stars who come to Hollywood, will slowly start from a supporting role and be conquered by the film and television works here.
Every year, many stars all over the world dream of coming to Hollywood for development, hoping that their career can go to a higher level and play in some blockbusters, so as to enhance their international status and influence.
But there are few successes, most of them are failures. After all, Hollywood is the place where stars all over the world want to be. It's very difficult to succeed!
Until the rise of Chen mubai, they suddenly found that his growth could not be suppressed, so that his influence gradually increased. He not only made a breakthrough in music, but also became a giant in film and television.
Many old tycoons join hands to deal with him, which can only reduce his influence, but not eliminate his fame.
"Still want to snipe him?" Caitlin does not know whether to continue to snipe Chen mubai, the first two failed.
Only one success, but also let them suffer heavy losses, but also let the company's share price fall.
Trellis nodded: "of course we need to snipe, but this time we don't have to do as before."
"On the day when iron man was released, we also released a work. In terms of film arrangement, it is definitely better than his work and can have a great impact on him."
No matter whether the box office of the movie will be higher than that of iron man, the competition in the same schedule will certainly divert some box office, which is better than letting the schedule out and making iron man the only one.
"We don't have movies that meet the requirements in the near future." Caitlin frowned.
After all, with Chen mubai's current appeal, it is difficult for ordinary movies to have an impact on him. Only works with similar level are qualified to snipe.
"You can go to MGM. They have a blockbuster that has been completed recently, and the release time has not been determined yet. If they are allowed to snipe, there will be time." Trellis road.
It will be released in another month. Although the time is a little short, it's enough to publicize the works.
"They don't have to agree." Caitlin sighed.
MGM has already suffered some losses from the previous cooperation of several parties. If we go to snipe again this time, it will also have an impact on them.
After all, it's not a one-sided influence. When two blockbusters meet at the same time, they will have an impact on each other, just more or less.
What's more, Chen Mu Bai's reputation is booming. When the film is released, it's so hot that he's not a pure and weak opponent. On the contrary, it's a bit tricky.
The risk is not small. MGM won't easily agree. After all, they are not 100% sure that they can kill Chen mubai. Maybe they can even fold in.
Trilith said with a smile: "this is going to make the Oscar appear. Those people hate Chen mubai more than us. This is a great opportunity. If Chen mubai fails, the public opinion will be reversed and the situation will be reversed. The Oscar has been languishing during this period of time. They will not miss this opportunity. As long as they promise the benefits of MGM, I think it is possible to succeed."
"So it is." Caitlin's pretty face gave a smile: "I'll push it."
......
China Film Group.
"Mo Cheng, use all the resources to publicize iron man. I want to maximize the publicity of this film!" Sun Ping looks at Fang Mo Cheng.
Fang Mocheng was a little shocked. Is this to promote iron man through all channels and with all resources?
"Then our movie..." Fang Mocheng hesitated.
"Mainly iron man."
Fang Mocheng got a positive answer, and his mind was in a state of coagulation.
This means that all of Hua Ying's works have to be ranked back. Although iron man has nothing to do with them, it's more pro than his son. Even his works can't have such good resources. What's it like to use all his strength to publicize it!?
Moreover, the film will be released one month in advance, that is to say, the publicity will start one month in advance in the cinema. Not only will the audience wait in the cinema for the trailer of iron man, but also all aspects of the poster will appear ahead of time!
In the past, it was only for fast-moving movies, and it would not be so grand!
"Iron Man" was released on the first day of the lunar new year. Among them, China film also had one work in this period, and two indirectly participated in the investment
That is to say, the three films in this schedule are related to China film, but China film has to use the largest resources to promote iron man, and the other three films have much less resources.
"You're thinking, why would I do that?" Sun Ping saw through Fang Mo Cheng's hesitant face and said what he thought.
"I don't understand." Fang Mocheng did not deny it, but said: "iron man will be very popular. We don't need to spend so much on publicity. As long as we do it normally, our three films will be released at the same time, so the publicity resources are very tight..."
And the most important point, he didn't say, is that the publicity fee of China film is for publicity. Iron man has nothing to do with them, and it's not for them to issue, but for mubai entertainment to issue. If China film helps promote iron man, the money will be out of their own pocket!
Sun Ping said lightly: "iron man is of great significance to our country."
"I know that. The first science fiction." Fang Mo Cheng said: "we really should support it, but I don't think it's necessary to spend too much money. After all, Chen Mu Bai has a high degree of popularity and won't make the film less influential. We just need a little help."
Sun Ping shook his head and said, "you don't understand. First of all," Iron Man "is China's first science fiction film, which is an important milestone. Whether we admit it or not, we can't deny that Chen mubai has taken a significant step, and it's also one that we all have no courage to go out."
"Secondly, the investment in this film is billions, all of which is out of Chen mubai's own pocket. He bears all the risks. He has made too much contribution to this industry, and we also have to pay back. This is our attitude. Although we want to make money, the other half is always National. We should focus on national glory. Chen mubai has done what we can't do, We should give our full support. "
"Before, he has won a lot of honors for us. He is our future and also our facade. This film may not have a good response abroad, but at home, we should try our best to pile up its influence, so that more investors and companies can see the domestic support for this kind of works. We also need to make works with these themes. We can't always make three axes."
Fang Mocheng then understood why Sun Ping would sacrifice the company's interests to create momentum for iron man.
The simple point is to repay what Chen mubai has done. The deep point is that Chen mubai has a great influence today, not only at home, but also abroad.
Therefore, this film has received great attention, and Sun Ping hopes to further enhance Chen's international influence.
......
After the development of China Film Group, the propaganda of iron man reached the highest level in history!
Numerous media reports on this film have greatly reduced the living space of other films.
Lu Fang was shocked. He didn't expect this.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Fang was very surprised that he had used propaganda channels, but he didn't have such great ability!
Even if Chen mubai is very famous, many we media will follow suit, but it can't reach the present grand occasion.
"It's up there." Chen mubai said.
Many government media are praising the trailer of iron man. It is the government that can have such an impact.
"It's easy to understand the end of the official media. Even if it has an impact, it's not so big."
Lu Fang still doesn't understand. He doesn't know that Hua Ying did it, but he has sent someone to inquire about the reason.
Soon, he got the answer.
"Did Hua Ying do it?"
Lu Fang was even more puzzled: "he and we are rivals. There is competition at the same time. His films are not publicized, but publicized for us?"
Chen mubai doesn't know why the other party is doing this, but it's obviously beneficial to them, which is a good thing.
"Ask." Chen mubai said.
Lu Fang nodded and said, "I'll ask Fang Mocheng."
Fang Mocheng has always had a good relationship with them, and he is also a senior member of China film. He should know why.
As for Sun Ping, he is the president of China film. In addition to the nature of China film, he is an official of the government. If there is no major event, he will not be approached.
"Asked about the situation."
Soon, Lu Fang came back and looked at Chen mubai.
"Why?"
Lu Fang then tells Chen mubai what he heard from Fang Mocheng.
"So it is."
Chen mubai suddenly realized: "so, the State supports us so much. If we can't do it any more, aren't we sorry for the cultivation of the state?"
"I suddenly feel that my burden is much heavier."
"Come on."
"There are already variety shows arranged for me in China. According to the publicity, there should be no problem. I want to enhance my influence abroad. I'll ask Bruce Lee to arrange two shows for me."
Iron man is destined to premiere in China and North America at the same time. It's really helpful for the film to publicize it in America.
......
"Why do you think this movie has invested billions? Apart from the special effects expenses, there is another thing, which is the production time. Generally speaking, the special effects take one year to complete. I accelerated the progress, so I finished it in half a year. It was all piled up with money!"
"You look very handsome armor. It costs nearly a million to build. Everything should be done as well as possible. That's why it costs money."
"This movie is shot with a 3D camera. It's not a 3D movie after shooting. The cost is too low..."
On a gold medal variety show, Chen mubai told the host what happened behind the scenes in iron man.
Many domestic film makers are clearly making 2D films, but in order to earn more money, they make 3D films for post production, which makes the tickets more expensive. However, the 3D effect is very poor. After all, it is forced to be produced in the post production, and many people will feel dizzy or even vomit.
From the beginning, if 3D shooting is used, the effect will be much better, but the cost is also much higher. Foreign blockbusters will not save money on it, and many domestic blockbusters operate in this way.
Therefore, Chen mubai also talked about this issue here.
"This film is your biggest investment at present. Will there be more investment in the future?" How wonderful the host is.
Chen mubai seriously replied: "yes, the investment will only be bigger and bigger. In other words, the investment in this series of films will be almost the same. Insisting on making a good film is my first choice. As for how much to spend, it's not in my consideration."
"What do you think of the title" Oriental Hollywood "
"It's a compliment, but my goal is not to become an Oriental Hollywood. I hope to get rid of my own cultural characteristics. My original intention has not changed."
......
Originally, the whole network push "Iron Man" has made the movie very popular.
Chen mubai's several programs for the film promotion, instant let that period of ratings soared, become the highest in history!
The program group all laughed, they did not expect that the popularity of the film suddenly so high, with this program are fire.
In the program, Chen mubai said a lot about the production of the film, which not only made the hosts admire, but also made the netizens excited.
The popularity of iron man has reached an unprecedented level in China, and this hot phenomenon has also been reported by some foreign media, which also makes many foreigners wonder why this film has attracted so much attention.
"I said, how can we invest so much..."
"Don't say anything, Chen mu, Bai Niubi!"
"I was also surprised that the whole network was full of news about iron man, which suddenly became so popular. After watching this program, I thought it was time to make him angry."
"Yes, there are not many people who are so dedicated to making movies."
"Damn it, the cost of that armor is as high as one million, which is too awesome!"
"I can't wait to see iron man ~"
The popularity of iron man once made other movies miserable.
Two of them can't bear this kind of pressure and withdraw from the Spring Festival Competition.
"It's too hard. I want to withdraw, too." The creators of another production group are also feeling.
"If it wasn't for the different types of films and the popularity of comedy in this period, I would definitely advise you to withdraw." Another person helpless way.
"Too strong!"
"Yes, not only does it have super high traffic, but also the name of this science fiction film and its promotion, the impact is really terrible." The director was envious and admired at the same time.
To be able to achieve Chen mubai's level is really what people yearn for.
"But then again, no one can match his courage."
"That's right. If I were him, I wouldn't dare to gamble like that."
"So, you can't be Chen mubai, we can only be beaten by him and run away..."
"Ha ha..."
They look at each other and smile bitterly.
According to this situation, there is no suspense about the number one of the Spring Festival stalls.
No matter from the investment, production team, publicity, influence and other aspects of the film can't compare with iron man, how to play?
For the film of this schedule, everyone is fighting for the second, no one is fighting for the first.
There can't be a movie that can counter attack "Iron Man". According to the current popularity, the box office of the first day given by some media is more than 300 million!
The highest record in the past was 300 million box office on the first day, while the lowest figure given by the media this time was 300 million box office. Some people even speculated that it would break 400 million!
......
"MGM's" express "is officially scheduled in North America on February 10, the first day of the lunar new year."
"Is this for us?" Lu Fang finds Chen mubai and tells him the news.
Chen mubai analysis: "it's definitely aimed at us. If they want to release it, they will definitely warm up in advance. They won't be so tight in time. Moreover, the time they announced is several days away from us, which shows that they were not prepared to compete with us at the same time, otherwise they could announce it two days earlier."
"This shows that they should have been convinced, so they decided to compete with us. It must be Oscar's interest groups."
"Iron Man" revealed the release date in the trailer. At that time, MGM's "fast car" didn't have any preparation for the release. It took several days to suddenly decide the release date, which was too abrupt in terms of time.
According to the normal time line, the release date should be delayed a little, leaving enough time for publicity.
After all, the film is starred by stanson, a world-famous action superstar, and will definitely go online in cinemas all over the world. It needs to be publicized not only in North America, but also abroad.
The time of this show is too abrupt, absolutely abnormal.
Lu Fang was very confused: "it's right that they should be like this, but are they so sure that they can suppress us?"
"You know," Iron Man "is also very popular in the world, and this is your first movie after you won the Palme d'Or. With this investment scale, you can't lose to the other party, and the risk is too big."
"That can only show that the other side's offer makes them unable to refuse. In this case, the other side just wants to snipe us. Regardless of the success or failure, the influence is certain. That movie is also a relatively high-profile work. Stanson has strong personal appeal. The famous tough guy is also a rare martial arts star who can carry action movies. Maybe this is where they rely on."
Chen mubai is not clear about the reason why the other party did so, but the process of calculating the result also shows something.
"Then we are not very dangerous. We didn't expect to kill Cheng Yaojin on the way..."
Lu Fang's tone is heavy. He still hopes iron man can expand its influence. If he meets a strong opponent, he will be affected more or less.
Generally, there are few foreign films on Chinese New Year's festival, because it will take about two months for foreign blockbusters to enter the Chinese market again.
The main reason is that during the Spring Festival, Huaxia will not introduce foreign films. During this holiday, there is a high demand for film viewing. Many people may watch films several times during this period. If they watch too much, they will not go to the cinema again in the near future.
Even if a month after the Spring Festival, foreign films can land in Huaxia cinema, they will generally avoid this time node, because it is not conducive to the box office of the film.
As a result, generally large-scale movies will not be released at this time point, because if they are released in North America, they will be released in other places immediately. Otherwise, if the time is too long, the resources on the Internet will be revealed, and some people will watch the movie online, so that they will not go into the cinema again, which will have a great impact on the box office of the movie, The movie will be shown as soon as possible.
At this time point, the release time of "fast car" in China will be advanced, that is, at the latest one month after the Spring Festival, in the weak viewing period of fans, which is equivalent to indirectly giving up the Chinese film market!
Even if stanson's appeal is strong, only a small number of fans can pay for it. If it is normal, it will be much better.
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Chen mubai closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and said: "they are also nervous. If they really think we are easy to deal with, they will not delay the announcement for a few days, but will announce it as early as possible. This shows that they are not fearless and should be thinking about gains and losses."
"Moreover, the popularity of iron man is very high, and it's better than fast car in terms of publicity. After all, my previous events with the Oscar and the Golden Palm awards have added a lot of popularity to me. This film is also the first sci-fi blockbuster of China and the biggest investment film of China and even Asia. It will only be more popular than them in terms of popularity!"
"Fast cars" and we are two types of movies. Although stanson is an international star, this kind of crime movie is not a martial arts star who can shoulder the box office. There are too many such movies. If there is no new idea, it will only make the audience feel that it's tasteless to eat and it's a pity to give up. But I played the banner of "superhero". This is a brand new concept, From the audience's point of view, naturally our works are more attractive. "
"So, even if the collision at the same time has an impact on us, the impact is not so great. The audience of science fiction movies and this kind of criminal kung fu movies do not overlap, but I beat them in other aspects. Even if I invested more, I should be more worried about them!"
"This time, we have the upper hand. If we have the best time, the best place and the best people, they will surely be defeated."
Speaking of the end, Chen mubai's voice is loud and confident.
Chen mubai's words brightened Lu Fang's eyes.
"That's the truth!"
Lu Fang said excitedly: "I want to start from this aspect, increase publicity in the United States, and at the same time make a comprehensive comparison between the two films, so that the audience can see more directly, so that the advantage of public opinion will fall to us."
These two films have been determined to meet on the same schedule. Naturally, they are rivals. There are also related topics on the Internet. Many people may choose one of them to watch. What we refer to is the type, quality, plot and other topics of the film.
If Lu Fang makes people compare them one by one, and then netizens find that "fast car" is a complete failure, their choice will naturally shift to "Iron Man", unless people who are really interested in "fast car" will insist on seeing this film.
This time, we will win!
