Outside the hall, in the long corridor covered with red carpet.
Under the slightly dim and shadowy light, the group walked briskly towards the private room area next to it.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took the mineral water from Zeng Ni, then unscrewed the bottle caps, raised their heads, and drank the cool water happily while walking.
Li He crossed her arms tightly and walked slowly behind the team. She carried a small and exquisite black leather bag on her right shoulder. She followed the rhythm of the crowd and asked with interest: "
Have you ever thought that things would develop like this?"
Chu Xuan quickly drank the water, tightened the bottle cap, handed the bottle to Zeng Ni, shook his head slightly, and said with a slightly helpless and interesting look: "Who could have predicted this in advance?"
Lu Tao quickly pushed open the door of a private room. Liu Yifei also quickly drank the water, handed the bottle to Zeng Ni, walked into the private room first, turned around, and said with some doubts in her expression: "Manager Cui,
Is the problem of women's rights in South Korea so serious? Almost all the media put aside the content of the movie itself and focused on pursuing such topics and asking questions."
Late at night on the day they came to South Korea, they heard Cui Minzheng say that the reason why "Legend of Red Flame" is so popular in South Korea is that the feminism factor in South Korean society is one of the crucial reasons.
Because of this, they probably knew that there was a feminist movement in South Korea.
But I never expected that the media would show such extraordinary enthusiasm for such topics.
Therefore, this is enough to fully demonstrate that the coverage of this matter in this country should be extremely broad, otherwise the media would never react so strongly and enthusiastically to such topics.
Therefore, this couldn't help but fill her heart with curiosity.
Cui Minzheng followed everyone into the private room. Hearing Liu Yifei's question, he nodded and said: "It is true that the scope is quite broad, but the purpose that the media wants to achieve is essentially to try to stir up sharp social conflicts, in an attempt to trigger a huge controversy.
public opinion, thereby seeking substantial benefits for oneself.”
"So if there is such a trend at the just-concluded press conference, after those media go back, they will most likely try every means to praise you, Mr. Liu. Only in this way can they quickly create conflicts in public opinion that are in line with their own interests."
Zeng Ni invited the couple to sit down on the soft sofa. At the same time, she motioned to the makeup artist to sit next to Liu Yifei and touch up her makeup. She sat down on the single sofa with a puzzled look on her face and a confused voice.
: "How could this suddenly be related to women's rights? It's really a bit baffling."
"Gah." Li He made a crisp and playful tone, and raised his eyebrows at Liu Yifei with lively eyes: "It should be our Mr. Liu's brave move to announce the marriage, which greatly stimulated a group of South Korean female audiences who had a strong sense of feminism.
, thus allowing the media to keenly capture the direction of this topic that is extremely newsworthy and hot in public opinion."
"Ah?" When Zeng Ni heard this, her face was filled with a look of great surprise. She asked with doubts, and questions kept popping up in her mouth: "Why... is this... true or false?"
of?"
She was a little incoherent, and she really felt that this thing was extremely incredible.
Sissi just announced her marriage, how can it be closely related to women’s rights?
"To put it simply," Cui Minzheng explained patiently: "This can be traced back to the deep-rooted feudal ideas left over from the ancient times of the peninsula, as well as the special inheritance environment when South Korea was founded in the last century."
"Our country had great foresights at the beginning. Immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they launched a far-reaching ideological emancipation movement vigorously and vigorously across the country. They resolutely banned the red-light district industry and clearly made such industries illegal."
"South Korea relied on the United States to establish its country. Coupled with the long-standing military conflict with the North, the situation is extremely severe."
"Under such circumstances, let alone ideological emancipation, the meat selling industry in this country even exists legally until now."
"If you think about it, an industry like this can be operated openly and legally, and you can imagine how low the status of women is in such a social environment."
"It is also because of this that in most families in South Korea, men take charge of all matters, big or small, and women can only act as housewives helplessly and have no right to intervene in any affairs at home."
"So, on the important matter of marriage, before Mr. Chu had time to express his position, Mr. Liu took the lead to speak. According to South Korean traditional concepts, this is undoubtedly an act that violates long-standing family relationships and established order."
"Do you understand now?"
Cui Minzheng gave Zeng Ni a brief explanation. If he really wanted to explain the reasons in detail and comprehensively, it couldn't be explained clearly in just a few words. It also involved many intricate developments in the country's modern development timeline.
Political issues, as well as issues related to cultural inheritance since ancient times.
After Zeng Ni heard this explanation, she was stunned for a moment.
She felt very strange at the time, why were the South Korean female viewers so excited when Sissi just announced her marriage?
The warm atmosphere seemed a bit too much and seemed a bit abnormal.
Now after hearing Cui Minzheng's more thorough explanation, she suddenly realized that this was what happened.
In China, the public pays more attention to the relationship itself, and does not raise any issues related to the humanistic environment just because who announces the relationship first.
When she came to South Korea, she encountered such an abnormal and bizarre situation, and she acted like she couldn't laugh or cry. Such a humanistic environment with uncoordinated relations between men and women is really unacceptable.
"No wonder." Liu Yifei's posture was dignified and upright, and she accepted the makeup artist's careful and meticulous touch-up.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing Cui Minzheng’s profound explanation, she finally understood the strange phenomena at the press conference. For example, every time she used a sentence about women’s positivity and independence,
If you answer a question with words, the South Korean female audience present will be so excited that they can’t contain themselves, and their emotions will be extremely boiling.
Previously, she only thought it was a normal reaction from fans out of love for her. Later, after making eye contact with Chu Xuan, she realized that maybe feminist sentiment was at work. Now, through Cui Minzheng's comprehensive and in-depth explanation, she completely understands.
The seriousness and complexity of the impact of South Korean women’s rights issues on the country’s society.
Chu Xuan, who was sitting casually on the side, also understood clearly, but he did not speak. The constant vigilance and tense nerves at the press conference made him feel a little exhausted physically and mentally at the moment. Taking advantage of this rare free time,
He just wanted to lean on the sofa quietly and rest for a while, so that his body and mind could fully relax and soothe.
"So, when you go abroad, don't use the way we Chinese people think about foreign things, otherwise you will find all kinds of weird phenomena wherever you go." Li He made this summary with interest.
"South Korea is pretty good, and the overall environment can still be understood and accepted to a certain extent." Cui Minzheng said with a somewhat interested expression: "Island countries, some countries in Southeast Asia are even weirder, especially India.
For thousands of years, the traditional custom of urinating and defecating anytime and anywhere is still maintained. As soon as you arrive in India, you will be hit by a stench all over the sky. This is truly incredible."
"Oops! Manager Cui, what are you doing? I have to eat later!" After hearing this, Liu Yifei showed an angry and funny expression on her face, and her tone of voice was a bit resentful.
The makeup artist couldn't help but smile on his face. Chu Xuan, Li Hao and Zeng Ni also had faces full of laughter. The entire private room was filled with a relaxed and funny atmosphere.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Li He quickly calmed down his joyful mood and said solemnly to the couple: "Manager Cui and I just discussed it. If our press conference arouses public opinion, and the public opinion tonight and tomorrow
If the situation favors women’s rights, can we follow the trend for the next road show arrangements?”
When Chu Xuan heard Li He's words, he frowned tightly, and a slightly contradictory look appeared on his slightly tired face.
Go with the flow?
Is it going to develop in the direction of road show propaganda for women’s rights?
He and Liu Yifei just held a press conference and actively answered reporters' questions about the nature of women's rights with positive values.
However, this was just a whim of the couple, and it was also an act of venting the depression caused by the South Korean media's various nonsensical and tricky questions.
This kind of response was limited to this press conference. He and Liu Yifei have never had the idea of deeply participating in social conflicts in other countries.
Now that he heard the road show strategy of "going with the flow" proposed by Li Hedong, he immediately felt disgusted.
"How to follow the trend?" Liu Yifei was applying make-up and it was difficult for her to make large movements. She saw a trace of strong interest on her upright and delicate face. Judging from her mood, she was obviously in harmony with the situation.
Chu Xuan's inner thoughts were quite different.
Chu Xuan saw the interest on her face and raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely strange in his heart.
According to Liu Yifei's usual temperament, she should be resistant to this kind of planning idea and this kind of direction of action.
However, at this moment, Liu Yifei showed great interest. As a husband, he really couldn't understand what his wife was thinking in her heart.
"It's not clear yet. Everything depends on whether there will be public opinion and the specific direction of public opinion." Cui Minzheng said: "Mr. Li and I had a brief exchange and reached a consensus."
"If the promotion of the movie is limited to the entertainment industry, and in the South Korean entertainment industry, or the entire non-Chinese overseas entertainment industry, no matter how we promote and build momentum, we simply cannot compete with the heroes behind "Avatar" and "Transformers"
Competing with Hollywood."
"Mr. Chu and Mr. Liu should know this well. They control the hegemony of overseas media. We will never be their opponents in terms of publicity and marketing."
Chu Xuan understood what he said. Normal promotion overseas could never compete with Hollywood, so he needed to do something different and find a new path.
He then said: "So, Manager Cui wants to find a different way to promote publicity?"
After finishing her makeup, Liu Yifei moved her shoulders, crossed her legs, bent over slightly, put her right elbow on her knee, raised her chin into a fist, and listened curiously to Cui Minzheng's next words.
.
"Yes." Cui Minzheng nodded, and then said: "South Korean women account for a larger proportion of the population than men, and women's entertainment market share is also much higher than men. If there is an opportunity to capture the favor of South Korean women, for
The movie, for Mr. Liu, and even for Mr. Chu, this is the best thing."
"When we were planning the road show, we didn't have the opportunity to make corresponding arrangements. We just followed the normal planning direction for movies."
"At the press conference just now, Mr. Liu's unintentional performance may very well trigger the support of women's rights in this place. Then I think this is an excellent opportunity to break the situation, a breakthrough that can break the Hollywood media blockade.
This opportunity is also a rare opportunity to increase the breadth and depth of the film’s influence.”
Cui Min showed his serious face, his eyes stayed on the husband and wife for a moment respectively, and said: "But this is just my personal idea. It is purely for the sake of making the movie have a more favorable situation. I don't know what Mr. Chu and Mr. Liu have.
Thoughts?”
Chu Xuan fell into deep contemplation. There is no doubt about Manager Cui's intention and intention. He is really making longer-term and grander considerations for the development of the film.
As he said, "Avatar" and "Transformers" have been promoted for half a year, and they only have one month of promotion time.
Therefore, if we only promote movies in the direction of movies, let alone the powerful media system of Hollywood, it is just a matter of time. It is destined that no matter how we promote the movie, it will be difficult to suppress the influence brought by these two movies of Hollywood.
The publicity influence has been achieved for half a year.
The only way to break this dilemma is to find another way.
The alternative path that can be found now is the issue of women's rights that affects South Korea not only in the entertainment industry, but in the entire society.
If you simply promote the movie, the movie's popularity will only cover the entertainment industry.
If women's rights factors are added, the film's popularity can cover the entire social level.
Moreover, the entertainment market for women is larger than that for men. This is not only a consumer market environment trend in South Korea, but also a consumer market environment trend that is basically the same in all countries around the world.
In this way, using women's rights to attract South Korean women to support the film will not only make the film's influence immediately surpass that of "Avatar" and "Transformers", but it can also at least break the publicity influence of these two films to a certain extent.
A one-sided imbalanced situation.
Thinking of this, the disgust in Chu Xuan's heart eased slightly.
Domestically, he has no intention of taking advantage of public sentiment to pursue interests.
But facing foreign countries, he lost his national sentiments and became less firm in his thoughts on this aspect. In addition, the current situation of the film overseas is tense and difficult. Listening to Cui Minzheng's analysis, he became more confident about participating.
The resistance to the feminist movement in other countries has been reduced a lot.
But Chu Xuan did not express his position, but turned his head to look at Liu Yifei.
The feminist momentum at the press conference was triggered by her. Even if Choi Minzheng changes his road show planning ideas, it will definitely be based on Liu Yifei. He can be a man and cooperate well.
Seeing Chu Xuan asking Liu Yifei's opinion with his eyes, Cui Minzheng, Li Hu and everyone present also turned their attention to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, still maintaining a strong look of interest on her face, and said: "Let us take a look at it after making arrangements. Basically there is no problem on my side."
Li Xing and Cui Minzheng smiled slightly, "It's no problem. If the public opinion situation goes as they expected, and some changes are made to the upcoming road show arrangements, the film's popularity may be completely opened up in South Korea."
Chu Xuan showed a smile that could not see through Liu Yifei's thoughts, and asked: "What on earth are you thinking?"
"I didn't think much about it." Liu Yifei's face was pure and her tone was pure and authentic: "Female independence is what I have always pursued. South Korean women are also pursuing this, so the consensus between us is very consistent.
Well, wouldn’t it be great to have the opportunity to show my personal style overseas?”
Liu Yifei changed her innocent expression, raised her eyebrows, and said jokingly: "What, you are not happy? Are you afraid that I will be more popular than you overseas?"
Seeing that the couple seemed to have a minor conflict, everyone present, including Li Hedong, Cui Minzheng, and Zeng Ni, were all trying to hold back their laughter, preparing to watch the show.
Chu Xuan shook his head and thought briefly in his mind.
Hollywood has made it clear that their movies will be released in the same theaters as "Avatar" and "Transformers".
If South Korea's theater capital does not allow their movies to be released because of women's rights issues, Hollywood will definitely be the first to refuse, otherwise Hollywood will lose its trust.
Once Hollywood makes a mistake, China Film Group will have every reason to prevent two Hollywood movies from being released in China.
Moreover, if Hollywood makes a mistake first, China will take the moral high ground.
Therefore, if South Korean capital suppresses Liu Yifei and her movies due to women's rights issues, Hollywood capital should suppress South Korean capital.
In other words, the global entertainment market in the past two months has been a showdown between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies, and has nothing to do with South Korea.
The kings of the first echelon compete against each other, while those of the second echelon only need to watch from the sidelines without touching anything.
Then, Liu Yifei takes the route of promoting women's rights. If everything goes well, it is not impossible for her to become popular in South Korea in a short time.
By then, Liu Yifei will definitely have a large number of South Korean female fans.
What Bright Era needs are channels in South Korea, rather than occupying the South Korean market.
South Korean entertainment capital, on the other hand, needs traffic to make profits, and will most likely not suppress a star with massive local traffic. Moreover, this star is a foreign star whose base is not in South Korea. Suppression has no effect and is meaningless.
It is more likely that Liu Yifei, who has a large number of female fans, will come to South Korea to carry out business activities in the future, and the capital here will only seek cooperation instead of resistance and suppression.
After sorting out the current situation and future development clearly, the conclusion is that if Liu Yifei takes the route of promoting women's rights, her career overseas, at least in South Korea, will be very smooth.
If it weren't for the fact that it was about his wife, Chu Xuan, whose personality had changed, wouldn't have thought so much.
Now that he had understood this general prediction clearly and thought about it, it would be beneficial to his wife, so he no longer thought about it too much.
"Okay, you will take the lead in planning, and I will cooperate." Chu Xuan expressed his attitude.
After hearing this, both Li Ha and Cui Minzheng nodded happily.
Liu Yifei playfully made a "yeah" gesture to Chu Xuan. She was very satisfied with Chu Xuan's answer, and winked her right eye at Chu Xuan provocatively.
Looking back on the past, both she and Chu Xuan, as a couple, as well as close family and friends, often said that they accomplished each other and supported each other.
However, she has always known very clearly that it has always been Chu Xuan who has made her successful and supported her in most aspects. The most she can do is give Chu Xuan comfort and support in Chu Xuan's mind and spirit.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So she also thought that if she could use the huge momentum of South Korean women's rights to get her stardom overseas off to a good start...
So, whether it is waiting for the movie to be released, the subsequent "Star You" to be broadcast overseas, or some future works to be leaked overseas, regardless of whether the works are popular or not, the popularity of the couple will increase, at least to a certain extent.
It means that she is achieving and supporting Chu Xuan.
All in all, she aspires to become stronger and stronger than Chu Xuan. No matter where she is overseas, as long as she is stronger than Chu Xuan, she can achieve and support Chu Xuan.
In China, the market situation of the couple has basically been finalized, and it will be difficult for her to surpass Chu Xuan in the country.
Going abroad allowed her to see a new battlefield and a new journey.
This is what Liu Yifei thinks, and it is also why Chu Xuan cannot understand her thoughts. It is also because Chu Xuan does not understand that Liu Yifei's usual personality would not do it, but now she has changed to do things that she did not like to do before.
reason.
Regarding this, Chu Xuan also had a spiritual feeling. He looked at Liu Yifei for a few times, and then said in a puzzled tone: "I don't know why, but I suddenly have the feeling that you want to suppress me."
Hearing these words suddenly, Li Hu and Zeng Ni couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling that they were extremely interesting.
Liu Yifei was startled, still in a daze?
Others only find it very funny, but she agrees with Chu Xuan's statement because she often feels Chu Xuan's thoughts suddenly.
Liu Yifei secretly snickered in her heart. The relationship between the couple was too good and sometimes not so good. She was a little cautious and didn't say anything. Suddenly her husband guessed it.
"Why do you think so?" Liu Yifei pretended to be puzzled, with a baffled look on her face.
"I don't know." Chu Xuan shook his head, took Liu Yifei's hand and stood up and walked out: "Let's go, they are still waiting for a group photo, finish it early and go back to rest early."
Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and let Chu Xuan pull her away. She just felt that it would be better if Chu Xuan didn't get to the bottom of it. If her thoughts were exposed, it wouldn't be so fun.
