Chapter 54 Difficulty Getting Started—Propaganda Difficulties
Since there was no broker or assistant, and the online ticket buying system had not emerged yet, Cao Yu had to go to the airport to buy tickets himself.
But where exactly?
Cao Yu also needs to contact director Sam Remy for communication to prevent him from flying to the United States and flying around in the United States at that time.
"Hey! Sam, do you have time?" Cao Yu took out his cell phone and called.
"who?"
Sam Remy hadn't reacted yet, and was confused for a moment, and then suddenly realized that it was his male protagonist Cao Yu, "Where have you been there during this time? You can't see you in Hollywood?"
During this period of time Cao Yu was in South Korea, although he had been in contact with Sam Remy, he never showed him what he was there and what he was doing.
"Oh! I have been back in Asia for a few days. Isn't it almost time for the movie to promote it? I'll ask you, when? Where to start the promotion? I'll get over." Cao Yu answered truthfully.
"Yeah~"
Sam Remy hesitated on the phone for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer Cao Yu's question, "There are some problems with the publicity issue."
Speaking of this, Sam Remy paused and continued before Cao Yu spoke, "But it's okay if you come back early, let's talk in person, and it's easy to communicate.
That's it! You fly directly to Sony Columbia's office building in Hollywood, Los Angeles."
After hearing Sam Remy's words, Cao Yu was covered in question marks!
What's going on?
Is there something wrong with the promotion of this movie?
You should know whether the promotion of the movie is smooth, but it has a huge impact on the box office of the movie to a large extent. If [Spider-Man] is frustrated.
Although relying on the quality of [Spider-Man] and the big tree of Sony Columbia, Cao Yu is not worried that [Spider-Man] will fail.
But [Spider-Man] is a big hit, that's a bit difficult!
So Cao Yu opened his mouth and asked Sam Remy through the phone: "What's going on? What's wrong with Sam? What's wrong? Tell me briefly, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured when I get on the plane next."
Sam Remy on the other side sighed softly and spoke helplessly, "It is inconvenient to speak on the phone, but there is only one problem, that is - race!"
alright!
When Cao Yu heard Sam Remy speak this word, he knew that the problem was a bit tricky.
Cao Yu also knew that things might be a little difficult to deal with, and it was not something that could be explained clearly on the phone in a few words, and then replied: "Talk back."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu quickly walked to the airport reception desk and bought a flight ticket to Los Angeles for the latest time.
Before long, Cao Yu boarded the plane.
However, Cao Yu's mind was full of the word Sam Remy and he said on the phone - race.
Sam Remy's mouth is about race, but Cao Yu knows that Sam Remy's expression means racial discrimination.
If Cao Yu had not understood the view of racial discrimination in China in his previous life, then if he had been studying in the UK, Europe and the United States for several years in this life, he would have known it very much.
This is a problem that only exists in Europe and the United States.
And it is a question that is placed on the table and given the correct answer, but many people still fill in the wrong questions under the table.
This problem is not so much a racial issue as a cultural issue among multiple countries.
Or is it a kind of human xenophobia.
Cao Yu had never cared about this before, because Cao Yu had never encountered such problems.
When studying in the UK, although there is not a single problem in the UK, it is rare.
In addition, Cao Yu has a family-squatting personality, so Cao Yu has almost never encountered such a problem.
Cao Yu came to Hollywood with a strong recommendation from his mentor. First, he directly communicated and cooperated with top Hollywood people under his mentor's connections.
The ones you get are blockbuster contracts, which have very big interests. The interests in them can make people ignore any non-main contradictions.
At this time, the filming was done, and it was aimed at the audience in Europe and the United States, the world's number one vote.
There are mixed fish and dragons inside, very turbid.
At this time, the problem appears, that is, Cao Yu's identity may cause discomfort among the audience.
Of course, Sony Colombia cannot see this.
But the project [Spider-Man] is really too important to Sony Columbia and there is no need to be neglected.
Choosing Cao Yu is naturally a difficult publicity problem before the release.
But if you don’t choose the question, the quality of the movie will be difficult to guarantee. After all, Cao Yu was the director Sam Remy who finally fell in love with him.
Among them is the role of humanity between Cao Yu's mentor Roman and Sony Colombia President Sanforni Padzhi.
In addition, Sony Columbia, as an RB holding company, naturally has some tendencies towards Cao Yu, an Asian.
So under the influence of numerous decisions.
Regarding publicity and quality problems, Sony Colombia believes that quality is higher than anything else and chose to overcome publicity problems.
But they did not expect that this problem was like a rising puffer fish, slippery, round and full of thorns, making it difficult to get started!
That's right!
If this problem is really so easy to solve, Hollywood will not be the leading American actors.
Asia won’t just make a kung fu superstar with his nose and call him Li, and his eldest brother Cheng Long and the Kung Fu Emperor have connected with the three international superstars Li.
It's so sad!
Cao Yu thought about it for a long time but had no idea. His high-speed brain made Cao Yu feel a little drowsy, and finally fell asleep on the plane.
When Cao Yu woke up, the trip of more than ten hours had ended. The plane was parked steadily on the runway, and the flight attendant was calling Cao Yu to get off the plane.
Cao Yu politely smiled with the flight attendant, got up and got out of the plane, then took a taxi at the airport and went straight to the company building in Sony Columbia in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
...
Interior of the conference room.
Sam Remy and a group of Sony Columbia's propaganda department staff were chattering and discussing.
"Everyone, you have read the early promotional feedback report of [Spider-Man], and the situation is a bit unoptimistic. [Spider-Man] is Sony Columbia's ace this year.
If this card is played well, it can become Sony Columbia's signature in the next few years, like Universal's Jurassic, Warner's Batman, Paramount's Mission Impossible, Disney's cartoon, Twentieth Century Fox's Titanic.
You guys are absolutely indispensable for upgrading and salary increase.
But if this card is not played well, I don’t need to say much about the result. Everyone knows the situation in Sony Colombia in recent years, losses and continuous losses.
Although we have continuous blood transfusions from Sony Group behind us, you and I understand that this is not a long-term solution.
So, everyone [Spider-Man] succeeds and fails.”
Speaking of this, Sam Remy paused, "Whether it is my personal success or failure, it is also related to the future and financial future of everyone here."
Sam Remy said very plainly and very valuablely, and she just used the word money to end her speech.
