In the northeast corner of the hall, outside the side door on the right.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had been waiting here early, and Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and team members were also accompanying them.
The opening remarks of the two hosts just now, especially when they mentioned the "680 million" box office performance, although they could not witness the dynamics in the hall with their own eyes, they could clearly perceive it just by relying on the sounds that passed into their ears.
You can see people's extremely surprised atmosphere, as well as the proud cheers of overseas Chinese and Chinese people.
This situation gave each of them a sense of accomplishment and made them feel particularly happy.
The domestic box office result of 680 million was good news from domestic companies early this morning.
The investment in this movie is 200 million. If domestic promotion expenses and overseas road show expenses are included, the maximum amount will reach 300 million.
Calculating based on the cost of 300 million, to make back the cost, the box office needs to be 2.5 times, which is 750 million.
Today, the movie's box office in mainland China has reached 680 million. If the box office revenue in Hong Kong and Baodao is added to it, the movie may have already recovered its money.
In addition, Hu Hanguang and Wei Haolong's application for key extension was also successfully approved. The release time of "Skyfall" in the mainland market will be postponed for one month until midnight on December 1.
This is undoubtedly extremely exciting news, and for them, it is a huge surprise.
Although it is impossible to predict other situations, it is also difficult to accurately predict the final box office results. After all, this is the first time in the history of domestic films that a release has been postponed.
But they can deeply feel that at this moment and during the subsequent overseas roadshow trip, they will have more confidence.
The fundamentals of the domestic market for movies are already solid, and the overall situation is set.
So for the matter of exploring overseas markets, no matter what, it can relieve some of the burden and pressure on those participating in the road show.
In the morning, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had a pleasant chat with Chenglong who was in Europe and Zeng Baoyi who was traveling to Southeast Asia.
Because of this excellent news coming from China, all three teams were overjoyed, and their mentality during the overseas road show became relaxed and stable.
A few days ago, when preparing for the press conference, the couple seemed anxious and nervous.
Since receiving this exciting news this morning, until now, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's state has gradually become more relaxed and relaxed.
I heard the host clearly calling their names, signaling them to come out.
Chu Xuan's eyes were full of warmth, he glanced at Liu Yifei beside him tenderly, and then slowly raised his right hand towards her.
Liu Yifei's face was filled with a soft and natural smile, and she lightly placed her left hand on Chu Xuan's palm.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei held hands tightly, giving each other strength and support.
At this time, Zeng Ni gently pushed the door open.
Compared with the soft light in the corridor of the hotel, the extremely sci-fi gray-white light mixed with earthy yellow in the lobby appeared more intense and dazzling, pouring in instantly and shining directly between the open doorways.
The contrast of light is so clear that the outside and inside the door seem to be two completely different worlds.
Under the attention of countless pairs of eyes in the audience, the couple standing outside the door seemed to come from another world. With smiles as warm as the spring breeze, they walked briskly and confidently into this local world that belonged to them.
"Chu Xuan!"
"Liu Yifei!"
Excited shouts and shouts suddenly broke out one after another. The overseas Chinese, Chinese and international students could not conceal their excitement, and many of them even shouted at the top of their lungs.
Living in South Korea, a country with a highly developed entertainment industry, no matter where you go in the city, whether you turn on the TV or browse the Internet, reports about celebrities are always overwhelming and endless, everywhere.
The content of the reports is almost all about local celebrities in South Korea. Reports come and go. No matter how you look at it, the female stars are beautiful and the male stars are handsome. However, most of them have similar face shapes.
, the same temperament, and even the height is almost the same, as if they are replicas produced from the same factory assembly line.
Over time, this same stereotyped image will always make people unconsciously tired of aesthetics.
Moreover, South Korea almost never reports on domestic celebrities and rarely reports on domestic news.
Before coming to South Korea, I always reported on celebrities in South Korea. I thought South Korea should be polite and reciprocal. However, after I came to this land, I realized that many people here have a bad perception of the country.
and negative publicity in the media.
Nowadays, the appearance of domestic big stars Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is like a fresh and pleasant spring breeze, gently blowing into the hearts of overseas Chinese, making their hearts surge with extremely kind emotions.
For people in South Korea, they had never seen Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei before.
Before the broadcast of "Legend of Red Flame", the names of these two people were completely unfamiliar to them.
After the popularity of "Legend of Red Flame" in the first half of the year, Princess Nihuang in the play stood up for the people, to clear up grievances, and for justice and fairness, and set things right. This image instantly became an idol model in the hearts of the majority of female audiences.
;
Lin Shu's heroic spirit of resolutely choosing to die in battle in order to protect the country also made many viewers regard him as a hero in their hearts.
It was only then that people here had a preliminary impression of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
But it only stayed at the impression level, after all, they had never had the opportunity to see him in person.
At this moment, the legendary Princess Nihuang and Marshal Lin Shu, the two characters' true identities, came to the scene in person, which made people in South Korea also look forward to it, and their curiosity arose spontaneously.
Chu Xuan was seen wearing a finely tailored, well-fitting royal blue suit, walking forward with firm and confident steps.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A warm smile bloomed on his face, his face was resolute and full of sunshine and vitality, and his height of over 1.8 meters made him look strong and tall.
As he moved forward steadily, he waved to the people around him.
Liu Yifei held Chu Xuan's hand beside her. She was wearing an elegant and moving light yellow dress. The crystal particles inlaid on the skirt shone with tiny and charming light under the light.
Under her exquisite and flawless makeup, her eyes are bright, clear and agile. Her tall figure of over 1.7 meters, coupled with her long hair and flowing makeup, makes her look like a noble princess coming out of a fairy tale.
She also followed Chu Xuan, smiling and waving hello to the crowd.
"What a golden couple!" Jin Zhenshan's eyes were filled with unabashed admiration.
Cui Minzheng, who was standing next to him, also had a look of amazement in his eyes. He moved closer to Li He, translated Jin Zhenshan's praise and conveyed it to her, and then both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
Golden boy? You know, in this world, the words of ordinary people are often ignored, while even a casual sentence from a person with a high status may become the focus of news reports.
In the corridor under the ceremonial stage, the media who stood in a row, with cameras or video cameras in their hands clicking and taking pictures, heard Jin Zhenshan's comments clearly in their ears, and instantly felt that they were a very powerful person.
A news point of value was born.
South Korea also has golden boys and girls in the film and television industry. Now the director of the Film Association has commented on a pair of golden boys and girls from China. How about giving it a try?
Some media seemed to have made a major discovery, saying softly but full of surprise: "They are holding hands! Are they not only on-screen partners, but also a couple? This is definitely a big hit!"
In China, celebrities' love affairs are often resisted and resisted by the fan circle. As the times continue to develop, the momentum of the fan circle economy becomes more and more fierce, and this resistance becomes more and more serious.
In South Korea, this situation is even more serious, and can even be said to be a huge matter.
It's so big that as long as any idol's love affair is exposed, it will definitely trigger a tsunami of public opinion.
Not only does he have to face strict "inspections" from his fans, but he also has to endure the media's extensive and maliciously fabricated reports, which is enough to make the artist's career that he has built up for many years turn into nothing in one day.
Some media saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walking in holding hands, and they immediately felt that they had caught a big news.
However, a media outlet nearby acted nonchalantly and said: "This is nothing new in China. I heard that the two of them have been in love since their debut. There are also 'national couples' in China."
title, and they are also a prospective couple who have successfully proposed and made an engagement."
"Is it so special?" The previous media member was shocked, and then he calmed down and said: "So what, in South Korea, this is brand new and has never been heard before. That's enough."
"That's right." The media next to them immediately changed their previous casual attitude and began to focus on the hands held by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
At the same time, viewers in South Korea also expressed emotion.
"Wow, Princess Nihuang is so beautiful!" The South Korean audience present expressed their heartfelt praise.
"Oppa Lin Shu is so ridiculously handsome!" Some female audience members said excitedly, their eyes flashing with excitement.
"Hey, hey, hey, they are holding hands, what the hell is going on!" Many viewers seemed to have discovered a new world, and their eyes instantly became sharp.
"Their temperament and aura are much stronger than our domestic stars!" Some viewers were greatly surprised. They felt that the star aura of Princess Nihuang and Marshal Lin Shu was unique and extraordinary, and could not be compared with ordinary stars.
of.
Such an intuitive feeling is difficult to describe perfectly with accurate words, but everyone can truly feel it.
"These two young men..." Zheng Minhao looked appreciative, racking his brains to think, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
He had the same feeling as the people at the scene. He only felt that these two celebrities from China were different, but in what specific ways they were different, it was really hard to explain.
Jung Min-ho is the deputy director of South Korea's second largest television station, Korea Broadcasting Corporation (MBC).
"The boss and the landlady of the Brilliant Era." Jiang Jingyan revealed their true identities in one sentence.
There was also a sense of surprise in her eyes, but it was not as profound as most people's.
She believes that as a capital star, it is natural to have such temperament and aura.
Kang Jeong-yeon is the deputy director of Seoul Broadcasting Company (SBS), the third largest television station in South Korea.
"The boss and the boss lady of the Brilliant Era?" Zheng Minhao was surprised. He had never expected that these two celebrities had such identities and backgrounds.
But how did Jiang Jingyan know about it? Zheng Minhao quickly thought that SBS had a cooperative relationship with Cui Minzheng, the general agent of China. It was Cui Minzheng who sold the overseas copyright of "Legend of Red Flame" to SBS. It is no wonder that Jiang Jingyan was able to master what he had
A situation you don’t understand.
"If not, why did Jin Zhenshan come to the scene in person?" Jiang Jingyan said with a calm expression and a light tone.
After Zheng Minhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted and nodded slowly as if he suddenly understood.
Indeed, if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the boss and proprietress of the Brilliant Era, then it makes sense that Kim Jin Sun, a usually bullish figure, came to support them in person.
You must know that the China Film Group is behind the Brilliant Era, which is no secret among people at their level.
They are not particularly concerned about Brilliant Times itself, but what really makes them pay close attention is China Film Group.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because China Film Group represents the will and direction of China’s cultural industry to a certain extent, you want to have a deeper understanding of China’s political dynamics and trends in culture.
, the best and most convenient and easy way to understand is to pay close attention to every move of China Film Group to see if it has any special development trends.
Because of this, the fact that Huaying Group is a shareholder of Bright Times was naturally known to them.
Now, since these two stars are the helmsmen of the Brilliant Era, their arrival this time represents the Brilliant Era.
Kim Jin Sun came to support the event in person, which was actually a friendly gesture to China Film Group from a distance.
In South Korea's entertainment industry, middle- and lower-level people have expressed a bad impression of China, which can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
However, people at the leadership level will never show a bad attitude to the outside world easily.
After all, such an attitude is enough to have a significant impact on the external development of the entire industry.
Jin Zhenshan's behavior was based on this consideration. Regardless of the actual benefits that coming in person to support him and the domestic industry would bring, at least he came in person.
So in the future, if there is intention to cooperate with China in the cultural field, this will undoubtedly have one more negotiation factor and positive condition that can promote cooperation.
Then, a hint of joking appeared on Zheng Minhao's face, and he looked at Lee Anwook on the other side: "Brother Anxu, the 'Korean Wave Gate' incident caused heavy losses to KBS. The root cause was Kim Jae Hee's malicious hype of Liu Yifei."
"In the industry, everyone has been speculating on who planned and directed the 'Korean Wave Gate' incident."
"Chinese officials? This is indeed a possibility."
"But now, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are actually the bosses of Brilliant Times, so I have enough reason to believe that the mastermind behind that incident was Brilliant Times."
"What do you think?"
Lee An-wook is the general manager of South Korea's largest television station (KBS).
As the only national television station in South Korea, KBS has the same status as CCTV in China.
The only difference from domestic CCTV is that South Korea’s CCTV is a capital-based industry.
As the largest television station in South Korea, KBS has monopolistic cooperative relationships with many entertainment companies and firmly occupies the largest piece of the local entertainment market cake.
Among them, the business channel through which most local film and television dramas are exported overseas is one of KBS's core businesses.
Due to the outbreak of the "Korean Wave Gate" incident two years ago, the negative information of many actors involved in exported TV series was exposed one by one. This gave Chinese officials sufficient reasons to remove and ban these Korean Wave stars.
The corresponding TV series have also been removed from the shelves and sealed.
Moreover, Mango Channel also severed its cooperative relationship with KBS, which caused KBS to lose an important cooperation channel in China.
In that public opinion storm, KBS was the party that suffered the most heavy losses in the South Korean entertainment industry.
So, who is behind the scenes secretly planning and promoting all this?
At that time, everyone in the entertainment circle had different opinions.
However, since the leaked scandals about artists are all conclusive facts, and the profit share of the Chinese market is not particularly huge for the South Korean entertainment industry, even if there is a loss, it will not be to the extent of breaking the bones.
So this incident was gradually forgotten by people, and everyone is waiting for the opportunity for the Korean Wave to revive again in China.
Li Anxu looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei who were walking up to the podium, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if nothing had happened, and said casually: "Is this important? Do you know who the mastermind behind the scenes is or not?
What can change the current situation?"
Jung Min-ho's bringing up the old story is nothing more than an attempt to provoke an antagonistic relationship between KBS and China's Brilliant Era.
With such an obvious intention and the nature of a joke and teasing, Li Anxu will naturally not take it seriously, let alone be fooled easily.
What's more, more than two years have passed and everything that should have happened has already happened. It is a complete waste of time and energy to spend energy thinking about and pursuing this grudge.
Furthermore, for such cross-border matters, it is natural for the upper-level leaders to make decisions. He has nothing to do with him as the general manager, and he has never taken this matter to his heart.
Jiang Jingyan glanced sideways at Zheng Minhao. Seeing that Zheng Minhao's provocation failed, she couldn't help but smile softly, finding the scene in front of her very interesting.
The corners of Zheng Minhao's mouth also raised slightly. KBS has been steadily pressing on them for half a century, which has made them feel suffocated. Now, having some fun and teasing him can be considered a good way of entertainment.
"Dear friends from South Korea, domestic audiences, colleagues, seniors and leaders in the South Korean art world, I am Chu Xuan, an actor from China."
"I am Liu Yifei, an actress from China."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stood in the center of the podium, picked up the microphone and briefly introduced themselves to the public.
After the host Zhao Xue, who was in charge of the translation work, finished the translation, the couple bowed slightly and said at the same time: "?????!"
This is "Hello" in Korean. The two of them started in Chinese and ended with a sentence in Korean, which was considered a friendly courtesy.
"Oh——" the overseas Chinese responded happily.
"?????!" When the South Korean audience heard the two saying something in Korean, they immediately responded with the same "Hello" in a cordial and friendly manner.
Then, the audience burst into applause.
Chu Xuan continued: "It's an honor to come to Gwangju, South Korea this time to promote our movie. As our beautiful host Ms. Zhao Xue said, we aim to have a cultural exchange between China and South Korea.
, let’s have a soul communication in the art of film.”
His calm and magnetic voice instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
Liu Yifei took over and said: "We will interpret this movie for everyone in the form of promotional videos. By playing story slices one after another, we can appreciate the science fiction world presented in this movie. After each slice, we will
There will be a question and answer session for the media, and we will answer your doubts and questions about the film."
Her clear and melodious voice is like the cry of an oriole, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Zhao Xue on the side answered: "As for me, I will serve as the translation host and perform Chinese translation work for the two guests."
Song Yang said next to her: "I will serve as the host of the interview session and choose reporters to ask questions for the two guests."
"Well, without further ado, let's get started." Chu Xuan looked at the crowd and said gently: "I hope we can bring you an afternoon full of science fiction and wonder."
There are two sofas and two stools on the podium, which are placed on the right side of the podium at an angle facing the audience.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to sit on the sofa, and the two hosts Song Yang and Zhao Xue came to sit on the two stools behind them.
After the applause slowly fell, the promotional video projected by the projector was displayed on the big screen.
The scene fell silent and the press conference officially began...
