Chapter 950: Only seen in my life, really interesting
The next day, it was still dark.
The couple got up early, dressed and washed, then picked up their luggage and met up with Chen Musheng, Zou Zhaolong and An Zhijie.
In addition to them, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yi, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan also got up early.
Less than a day after they met, they were about to break up again. Liu Xiaoli was reluctant to leave and wanted to drive to see each other off. Liu Yi, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan had agreed to go to the wedding room in Shenzhen to have a look and play.
Macau is very close to Shenzhen, and it only takes less than two hours by car.
Liu Xiaoli came to Macau by car. After sending her daughter and son-in-law away, she could take Liu Yi, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan on the way to Shenzhen.
When the sky was dim, the hotel provided a car to take them there, and the two cars arrived at the Macau Airport smoothly.
"Mom, let's go then." Liu Yifei waved goodbye.
"Sister Li, take care, let's go." Zeng Ni said goodbye.
"Auntie, bye." An Zhijie said, Chen Musheng and Zou Zhaolong waved.
"Bon voyage!" Liu Xiaoli gave her blessing and said to Liu Yifei: "You keep a low profile and don't cause trouble again."
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and looked at her mother with a slightly lowered eyebrow, looking very obedient and teachable.
Chu Xuan held the suitcase in one hand and joked: "Mom, what should I do if my strength does not allow me to keep a low profile?"
"Hahaha..." Liu Yifei and everyone laughed happily.
Liu Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scolded: "Believe it or not, I will beat you!"
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yi, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan who were beside his mother, and said in a slightly pleading tone: "Old Liu, Brother Yu, Sister Quan, if you can, please spend a few more days with my mother-in-law in Shenzhen."
The three of them nodded slightly, and Xia Yu said, "I happen to be free. It's no problem to play for a few more days."
Liu Xiaoli's amused eyes instantly turned to praise. Her son-in-law still had good intentions and specifically asked several friends to spend more time with her in Shenzhen. This performance made her very satisfied.
As she and several friends watched, the group of people drifted away and disappeared into the terminal lobby.
Soon, a plane flew across the sky from the airport at dawn, heading towards the capital.
The three-hour flight flew by and everyone arrived at the Beijing Airport.
"Ah - Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei!"
"Chu Xuan! Congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award!"
"I heard that "Sky Curtain" will be released around the world. I wish your movie a bright future!"
""Sky Curtain" is really good. I went to the cinema three times and watched it all. I must get good results overseas and let foreigners see that China also has great movies!"
Facing the sounds of enthusiastic passers-by, the group smiled and waved, walked into the lounge, and waited for the arrival of the Malaysian flight.
Domestic public media rarely report on foreign affairs, let alone film news that is difficult to go abroad.
Nowadays, the popularity of "Sky Curtain" has swept across the country, attracting more and more people to pay attention to this movie. Naturally, some overseas situations have been forwarded and reported by the domestic media for the first time.
Excluding Asia, the last time a film went abroad was "Hero" which was released in North America in 2003. It was only released in North America and not globally.
Looking at it this way, "Sky Curtain" is truly the first Chinese film to go overseas and be released globally.
Therefore, the upcoming global release of "Sky Curtain" has attracted great attention from many fans, fans, audiences and the entire industry.
For fans, fans and audiences, can "Sky Curtain" open up in the global market? This is a matter of glory for Chinese films.
For people in the industry, how will the global release of "The Sky" perform? This is related to the subsequent development and changes of the industry, or it is a matter of change.
There are a lot of discussions about this on the Internet, and people in the circle also have different opinions in private.
Under such a public opinion situation, a group of people closely related to the movie, carrying the expectations of many movie fans and the attention of industry insiders, boarded a flight to Malaysia and embarked on a final promotional tour before the movie's global release.
…
There are eleven countries in Southeast Asia, namely: Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and East Timor.
Myanmar, Brunei and East Timor can be ignored. The former is too chaotic and unstable, and the film and television market of the latter two is extremely small.
The remaining eight are the contributors to the Southeast Asian film and television market and box office market.
Moreover, the Southeast Asian market is the region with the highest popularity for Chinese film and television in the world.
Perhaps there is a root of historical inheritance that can lead to the current situation.
But speaking more closely, this is thanks to the contribution of Xiangjiang Film and Television and its profound cultural influence.
Since the 1970s, Xiangjiang's film and television industry has developed rapidly.
At that time, Southeast Asian countries were very backward, and there were almost no entertainment methods. Even if people wanted to watch movies, there were no cinemas, and if they wanted to watch TV series, there were no TVs.
It is rumored that some Chinese capital had an idea and created a relatively special industrial chain in Southeast Asia.
Just open a shop similar to a video store, and then play video tapes. People who come in to watch the tapes have to pay. This is equivalent to a store-type movie theater.
If we really want to build a regular cinema, the locals will not be able to afford the tickets, the capital will be lost, and there will be no hope of getting the money back.
With the establishment of such a video store, the store is very cheap, and the cost of admission is more than ten times less than that of a movie ticket. The locals are very curious about new things, which makes this industry chain particularly hot.
The industrial chain is booming, and many overseas Chinese and local wealthy people have joined it, making this industrial chain quickly cover the entire Southeast Asia.
Once there is a store, there will be sufficient sources of films, so major businessmen are collecting materials nearby and bringing Xiangjiang film and television works to this area.
It was also from that time that pirates emerged.
Genuine film sources are bought with Hong Kong dollars and then sold in Southeast Asia. The currency ratio is dozens or hundreds of times different, and it’s hard to make any money.
The originators of pirates at that time were very smart. They did not build factories in Hong Kong, but in Southeast Asia, and used cheap labor and ultra-low costs to crazily export pirated film sources.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, around the 1980s, it was the beginning of the era of rampant piracy in Hong Kong.
Mainland China developed more slowly, and it was not until the 1990s that a large number of pirated resources appeared.
But piracy is piracy, and it is undeniable that these pirated film sources have made great contributions to the cultural output.
To this day, zombie movies, kung fu movies, and ghost movies are still the three most popular types of movies in Southeast Asia. It is not outrageous to say that these three types of movies have a box office if they are shot randomly in Southeast Asia.
Lin Zhengying is the representative of zombie movies, Cheng Long is the representative of kung fu movies, and there are all kinds of ghost movies.
In any case, Lin Zhengying and Chenglong are well-known to everyone in Southeast Asia.
Even now, there are still a large number of kids or young people watching their movies at home with their videotapes.
It is because of the evolution of the modern environment over the past few decades that the roadshow promotion of "Sky Curtain" in Southeast Asia has been particularly smooth.
At first, when people from all over the country heard that it was Cheng Long's movie, their expectations were even higher than those in China. Without Huo Wenxi's promotion, local people spread the word by word of mouth: "Cheng Long's new movie is about to be released! I want to see it!"
I want to see it!"
Even when walking on the street, you can occasionally hear a little kid shouting like this from somewhere.
If the hero in the hearts of European and American people is "Iron Man", then the hero in the hearts of many people in Southeast Asia is Cheng Long.
Cheng Long was able to create such a repercussions, thanks to the pirates, and thanks to the fact that all the movie roles he played before were superhero-type characters, and the first hero in the film and television that the people of Southeast Asia came into contact with was also Cheng Long.
Then the video tape was passed down from generation to generation in every household, making it difficult for Chenglong, the "hero", to become popular.
There are also elders in the family who watch the younger ones in the family when they encounter setbacks, so they show Chenglong's video movies to the younger ones.
This sounds funny, but it happens every day in many places in Southeast Asia.
The promotion of "Tianmu" gained momentum in Southeast Asia due to the existence of Chenglong.
Then, it was Liu Yifei who made the movie even more popular.
At the beginning of the promotion, many people did not recognize Liu Yifei on the movie poster, but only knew Princess Nihuang in "Legend of Red Flame".
The TV series uses ancient costumes, while the movies use modern costumes, which makes people not recognize them for a while.
But after he was recognized, the news that #NIHUANGZZZZHENG and ChengLong are filming a movie together made the movie's popularity rise again.
"Legend of Red Flame" is very popular in Japan and South Korea, and even more popular in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia’s film and television drama resources are relatively scarce. Although there are many dramas on TV, most of them are of the same template and type.
Due to the fact that the industrial base on Fuhua Road is almost zero, it is impossible to make any blockbusters or dramas.
This is also one of the reasons why "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" became such a hit in Southeast Asia.
Initially, the element that attracted locals to "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was not the plot or the actors, but the palace architecture.
Every country in Southeast Asia has its own history, and the history of each country also has the appearance of an ancient palace.
But go to any country and look up the appearance of their ancient palaces in history books. Not to mention comparing with the Forbidden City, even the "Wagang Village" in "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is far from comparable.
Therefore, the appearance of the palace in "Huanzhugege" greatly shocked them at the time, and it opened their eyes to the world.
By the time of the second part of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", they were gradually attracted by the plot and characters, making this drama very popular in Southeast Asia.
The same is true for "Legend of Red Flame".
What attracts people at first sight is the large number of ancient buildings that are more exquisite and magnificent than those in "Huanzhugege".
Then, whether it was films and TV shows from Hong Kong or movies from India, an "all-round heroine" character that had not appeared in decades, namely Princess Nihuang, penetrated into the hearts of Southeast Asian audiences.
Can women also be generals?
Can women also be marshals?
Can women be so strong?
These topics, which are very strange in the eyes of Chinese people, were widely circulated in Southeast Asia in the first half of this year. Just like in Japan and South Korea, Princess Nihuang has become the idol of many people in this place.
Feminist rights in Southeast Asia are not very strong, and are a few levels behind Japan and South Korea.
Both men and women live in poverty, so they don’t have many feminist ideas.
In terms of women's rights, they are only concentrated in relatively developed places such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The development here is compared with other countries in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, when news came out about Liu Yifei's road show in South Korea, which included some feminist remarks, there was not much turmoil in Southeast Asia.
At this time, if the highest public opinion enthusiasm is compared to 100 points, with the existence of Chenglong, Liu Yifei, and the blessing of a group of actors led by Huo Wenxi, the popularity of the movie in Southeast Asia can be said to have reached 30 points.
30 points is also very good. Today's Internet is becoming more and more developed. There are countless news flying all over the sky every day. One incident can capture the attention of nearly one-third of the public. This is already a very good publicity result.
Originally, according to Huo Wenxi's plan, it was just a matter of maintaining the popularity.
Unexpectedly, when the news came about the outbreak of the feminist movement in South Korea, the situation changed drastically.
The name of "Princess Nihuang" Liu Yifei is resounding throughout Southeast Asia.
What made Liu Yifei famous was not the outbreak of the movement in South Korea, but Liu Yifei's words becoming reality.
Looking at Hollywood movies, those personal heroism movies are full of enthusiasm. Not only can they step on capital, but they can also beat up any evil.
But back to reality, capital is still capital, evil is still evil, nothing has changed.
Let’s look at South Korean movies, which severely reflect the darkness of society. It’s called a bold person, and it’s called a person who dares to shoot anything. Just watch the protagonist counterattack all the way, expose the illegal things of various officials, and lift the bloody veil of the major chaebols.
But back to reality, officials are still officials, chaebols are still chaebols, nothing has changed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you watch too many movies like this, sober people will think it is very "foolish".
It seems that the capital plutocrats deliberately filmed this to let the "foolish people" retain some illusions about life so that they can continue to be cut off.
However, what now?
Princess Nihuang said she wanted "women's independence", but those women in South Korea are really going to be independent!
When, like a magical scene in a movie, it shines into reality, how will this make people feel?
Rich people, or people who live a decent life, can only watch theater and eat melon.
But people in Southeast Asia generally live a poor life. Facing such a Princess Nihuang will trigger a very high degree of admiration based on "spiritual belief".
Huo Wenxi couldn't understand the momentum caused by this feeling of admiration. The enthusiasm that was originally only 30 points suddenly soared to many points.
And when the team announced on the Malaysian Internet that Liu Yifei was coming to Malaysia to meet fans...
"Liu Yifei!"
"Liu Yifei!!"
"Liu Yifei!!!"
“Welcome Liu Yifei to Kuala Lumpur!!”
"..."
Malaysia, capital Kuala Lumpur.
At the international airport, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Chen Musheng, Zou Zhaolong, An Zhijie and the accompanying assistant team members were all stunned.
"Qian Qian, are you so angry?" Zou Zhaolong couldn't believe it. The terminal square in front of him was packed with people. Except for the sky that could be seen when looking up, there was no scenery to the left and right. They were all people.
"Qian Qian, you are awesome." Chen Musheng muttered, he was also frightened by this battle.
"Don't drift, don't drift." Chu Xuan warned again and again.
Hearing what he said, Liu Yifei, who was originally in shock, was immediately amused and glared at him angrily.
Huo Wenxi escaped from the crowd and said: "Go quickly, go quickly, the mayor is waiting for you."
"Ah?" Liu Yifei was stunned, mayor?
Chu Xuan, Chen Musheng and others were also stunned. Forgetting such a huge airport pick-up scene, why did a mayor appear again?
Huo Wenxi glanced at Liu Yifei, shook her head and sighed, and said with all her teasing: "You can make such a big fuss in South Korea. Officials here are also afraid. Can you entertain you well?"
Everyone was startled and confused.
"Hahaha..." Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, and while following the bodyguard, he said: "Liu Yifei, you are so awesome, even the officials are afraid of you."
After saying this, Huo Wenxi, Chen Musheng, Zou Zhaolong and others all suppressed their laughter. If there weren't so many people in front of them, they might not be able to help laughing loudly.
It's not that I'm laughing at it, it's mainly that it's so bizarre, I've only seen it in my life, and it's really interesting.
