In fact, in the plot of "Anger Management", those jokes are basically spoofs.
What about "cheap products are not good", "high technology cannot be cheap", "Chinese brands are synonymous with fake and inferior products", etc.
Anyway, it does not violate the mainstream public opinion in European and American countries, but it is equivalent to beating the three-legged black flower. And such targeted and trademarked jokes are indeed very popular among North American people.
Even in later talk shows, similar jokes were quoted, which made the general public extremely happy.
As a result, the reputation of the three-legged crow must be even worse. There are many people who didn't care about cleaning robots before, but they also know the name "three-legged crow". At least they have an impression, right?
However, when "Anger Management" was released, it was the Christmas season at the end of the year. According to the tradition of Hollywood movies, there are usually many family-friendly comedies during the Christmas season. This is just like the domestic New Year movies, which are mostly comedies and are family-friendly.
The kind that young and old can watch together.
And in this Christmas season, there is also a local comedy that has suddenly emerged - "A Basket of Children"!
The plot of "A Basket of Children" is as follows:
There is an American family. This family has one pair of parents, twelve children and a bunch of pets. The lively and chaotic situation actually adds happiness to the family.
Anyway, American families have many children, and they must have pet dogs.
Especially those children with different personalities and ages, who are like living treasures and are loved by their parents. Now, the family is facing unprecedented changes.
Because their father, Tom, is going to teach a college team in a big city. He is a rugby coach. They are moving there. This also means that the children will have a better education and a broader space for development. Of course, the parents
The increasingly busy work will also reduce the time they have to communicate with their children.
And mother Kate's career as a writer is also booming, and she even leaves home to promote her new book. The children have become increasingly estranged from their parents. Life in the big city has allowed the family to gain an increasingly glamorous status, but they have lost their inner emotional bonds.
With such a major change, the parents need to rethink and make choices...
Anyway, the whole family was making a lot of noise, and the audience had a lot of fun watching it.
However, there are sharp-eyed viewers who also saw product placement - or was it a three-legged crow cleaning robot?
And this time a new joke was played, a three-legged crow that was out of control, creating a lot of jokes?
All right!
North American audiences have long been accustomed to product placement. Modern comedies like "A Basket of Children" are even more flooded with product placement, and a variety of products often appear.
But it’s a bit too much to keep using the three-legged crow as a joke, right? This has caused many people to criticize, saying that there is no point in advertising such crappy Chinese products?
Fortunately, the Christmas season is coming to an end soon, and "A Basket of Children" has finally been released.
With the arrival of 2004, new films have been launched one after another, and there is also a local comedy - "Meet the Father-in-law 2"
A few years ago, "Meet the Father-in-Law" suddenly emerged. This small-budget comedy became an instant hit. Its stunning performance earned astonishing box office results. Of course, Hollywood continued its efforts and soon released a sequel "2".
The plot of "Meet the Father-in-law 2" is as follows:
The male protagonist Falk gave his future father-in-law a lot of headaches. This guy's surname is easily confused with "Fuck", and he is also a male nurse. For the happiness of his baby daughter, the father-in-law, who was a CIA agent, tried every means to make things difficult for Falk, hoping that he would
The hero finally passed the test and his love with his girlfriend Pam was about to blossom and bear fruit.
The wedding is about to be held at this time, and there are still about 6 months to go. According to custom, the parents of both parties have to spend the weekend together. This makes Fogg very worried, because his father-in-law and his own parents are two completely different types of people. Father-in-law and
My mother-in-law is an ultra-conservative Protestant, while my father and mother are lazy liberals. Falk and his fiancée tried their best to arrange a vacation in Florida for the two families.
How to coordinate two completely different families, the time has come to test the hero Fokker again...
Okay! I won’t comment on this movie. Everyone should have guessed it - another product placement of the three-legged crow, another new joke?
MMP!
Many viewers finally couldn't help but yell and curse. Did they finish playing? Do they really think that we, the viewers, are bad actors?
It even became the latest joke in a North American TV program: "...in several recently released movies, there are continuous advertisements for three-legged crow cleaning robots. Let me first introduce the cleaning robot, which is a kind of household electronics.
The product replaces the function of sweeping and cleaning the floor. It can be said that it does have a great practical function. But here, we will introduce the brand Sanzuwu. A Chinese brand! Yes! From China! I used to sell cleaning robots
In the market, the reputation of Sanzuwu is...well, it is relatively bad! It is far behind our American, European and Japanese brands. However, Sanzuwu does not conduct in-depth research on technology, but instead tries its best to play the role in the movie.
Product placement? This is ridiculous. Has Hollywood been occupied by China..."
With such exaggeration, Three-Legged Crow received negative reviews.
In fact, Li Yuan adopted this method of product placement, which was impossible. Because only here can the Sanzuwu brand be truly established.
The reason for this is of course Metaverse (North America) Corporation.
Although this North American branch does not produce movies and TV series, it still has two businesses: one is copyright acquisition, which is the acquisition of Internet copyrights for old movies and TV series. It even packages and acquires some small production companies.
Another option is to invest in Hollywood. You don’t need to be the main investor, you can spend a small amount of money to hold some shares.
Because of Li Yuan, a reborn idiot, it may not be possible to invest in good movies, but is it still impossible to invest in movies that are on the box office list?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, in recent years, the "Metaverse" has become somewhat famous in Hollywood. It can basically beat the blockbuster movies and make a small profit to some extent.
A sum. (Hollywood has Hollywood rules for outside investors. Even if the film is a hit, after seven or eight deductions, the profit is actually not much. But such a steady stream of money can be considered a stable income. Not to mention, basically
When it comes to Internet copyright in the Chinese-speaking area. Even if you don’t have much money, you can even get global Internet copyright)
Nowadays, Hollywood is very welcoming to wealthy people like Li Yuan. After all, he is also one of the financial backers.
The most prosperous thing in Hollywood is commercial movies. Since this is business, as long as you are willing to spend money, what can't you sell?
So this time, when Li Yuan made the request, some of the movies he invested in included product placement.
Of course, you can't add it randomly. You can't add it to movies like "Terminator 3" and "The Matrix", right? And you also have to consider the rationality of product placement and not affect the plot and integrity.
Based on this calculation, the most suitable ones are those local North American comedies. Basically, they are modern comedies and the lives of ordinary people.
Also, Li Yuan also respects the creator very much. He didn’t blow the Three-Legged Crow to the sky, but respected the general views of the North American audience, so he simply made a self-deprecation to complete the joke.
Since it doesn't affect the movie, can we add a few more jokes to make the movie more funny? And we can also collect a lot of advertising fees from the three-legged crow?
Why not do this?
…
At Ying Xin's home in Jingcheng, the big girl from Jingcheng had finished watching these videos. She was stunned with surprise: "Hey, Yuanzi, are you right? How did you make it like this? Will it still be effective?"
Li Yuan happily held the baby and spun around in circles. The father and son kissed each other repeatedly, and Li Yuan's face was covered with saliva, but he still enjoyed it.
"Hey, hey, I'm calling you? Ah? Are you dirty? Baby, look at your dad's face? How can you keep your mouth shut?"
"Keke." The child didn't care about this at all, and he slapped Li Yuan on the face again.
"Yeah? You still want to kiss?" Ying Xin was so angry that she quickly grabbed the baby, "Go and wipe it clean. Otherwise, don't come close to us."
"Haha. It's not like you've never spoken before."
"Ah?" Ying Xin threw a flying kick. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan had been prepared and just avoided it. The kick missed the target and almost caused her center of gravity to lose balance.
Li Yuan quickly hugged Ying Xin: "Haha. You are still like this, so reckless. You almost scared my baby."
Ying Xin was furious: "You are only thinking about your son, what about me?"
"Okay!"
The angry woman was unreasonable. Li Yuan hurriedly hid in the bathroom and wiped his face.
"Hey, hey, I'm almost mad at you. I haven't asked the real question yet. What's going on with those movies of yours? Is this how you arrange for product placement?"
Although these movies have not been imported, thanks to the subtitle team, the pirated movies are basically released simultaneously with the North American market. That is why the advertising effect can be seen so quickly.
Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Didn't it work? Those shots were well shot."
"What? What's good? What content about Three-Legged Crow do you look at? They were shot like idiots. Either it's bad here, there's smoke there, or it's simply out of control. How many brain-dead movies do foreigners have to eat before they buy it?
A piece of shit like you?"
Putting down the towel, Li Yuan kissed the baby again, and Ying Xin was so angry that she just knocked it away with her head.
"Why are you in a hurry? Let's solve the problem first. Have you seen those advertisements? Are they impressive?"
"Bah! I'm very impressed, but there's just not a single advantage."
"So did it have any advantages before? Aren't you still being blackmailed by the entire Internet? Since there are already so many black fans, then simply increase the number of black fans several times."
"Ah?" Ying Xin looked at Li Yuan with a stern look, "Classmate Yuanzi, are you a masochist? You feel that there aren't many sunspots yet, yet you actually want more?"
"That's it! Black fans are also fans, it's much better than being unknown!"
"Bah! I realize that you have become an idiot. How can you smear yourself?"
"Why not? Taking a step back, it can't be any worse. There were so many black fans before, but there was no sales. Now there are more black fans, and at most there is no sales. Do you see? This
It’s called reverse thinking. Regardless of whether you are a popular fan or a bad fan, those who can bring traffic are good fans. As long as you have traffic, you might be able to turn around.”
"Huh?" Ying Xin was stunned again. She was too lazy to pay attention to the fool in front of her, "Baby, ignore your stinky daddy. Our family is a smart baby, so don't let him infect you."
"Look, don't you understand? So a stupid girl can't understand what we smart people think."
"Ah? Are you smart? Are you smart enough to curse yourself?"
"This is called ancient wisdom, and even if you tell me, you won't understand it."
"Huh?" Ying Xin was exasperated, "Returning ancient wisdom? Why didn't you say it was an idiom?"
"Is it an idiom?"
"ah?"
"Listen up, little girl! If a man cannot leave his name in history, he will be infamy for eternity! Is there such a saying? Hahaha!"
Staring at Li Yuan's hateful smiling face, Ying Xin almost breathed a mouthful of blood. She didn't expect that such a slanderous talk actually existed, and was it really an idiom?
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan comforted with a smile, "This proves that my idea is correct."
Ying Xin didn't want to talk to this stinky man. She gave him a sideways glance and wanted to experience it for herself.
After making a face for the baby, making him giggle wildly, Li Yuan said, "No matter what, at least the purpose was achieved, right?"
"Ha? It has indeed been achieved so far. Your three-legged crow will be infamy for thousands of years! Hahaha!" Ying Xin's face was full of ridicule.
"Not necessarily." Li Yuan explained with a smile, "There was a misunderstanding before that the cleaning robot was high-tech. Now we simply lower consumers' expectations. Our three-legged crow is cheap. Although the reputation is worse, but
Cheap is the way to go!”
"Huh?" Ying Xin thought about it for a while, and it was not unreasonable. She asked with concern: "Will your attempt to lower your expectations be successful?"
"Who knows."
"Ah?" Ying Xin was annoyed again. After arguing for a long time, it turned out to be nonsense.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Advertising is not a panacea. It's not like in China, where as long as the ads are bombarded, a piece of shit can be sold. The foreign advertising market is already very mature. I don't know how much advertising money is invested every year."
In the water.”
"Don't be shitty. The baby is here, don't be too disgusting." Ying Xin thought for a while, "Are you treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"
"That's right! There is another purpose - if there is no sales, at least we have a reputation. Bad reputation is also a kind of reputation. It can let consumers know about our products."
"Forget it, forget it. Whatever you say! I can't control you." Ying Xin waved her hand, "You have a lot of money anyway. With so much money, you might as well spend it on my baby."
"There is not much advertising fee. Anyway, judging from the effect, the money is well spent!"
"Hmm? How much did it cost you?"
"A total of...2.3 million US dollars! Ahem. It's really not much!"
