Chapter 882: Not very harmful, but extremely insulting
The road show of "Cambodia: The Enemy" in Guangdong ended some time ago, and the end point of the road show was the Shining Times Cinema in Guangzhou, the provincial capital.
More or less influenced by public opinion, the enthusiasm for watching movies at the Guangzhou site is not as good as that in Changsha, but it is not much worse. Overall, the performance is unsatisfactory.
Enthusiasm for watching movies has declined, but the popularity on the Internet is much higher than when it was in Changsha. Black and red are also red, and some people's resistance and abuse can also expand its influence.
However, after Liu Yifei returned to her nationality and the interview content was reported, the majority of netizens not only turned their negative feelings toward Liu Yifei into fans, but also gradually changed the movie's black-red color into a single red one.
At this moment, the popularity of "Skyfall" is unprecedentedly high. Even though most people have never seen it, they basically know that this work, which is billed as the first domestic science fiction blockbuster, will be released on National Day.
If it was a road show that was a big hit before, now it can be said that it is extremely popular. This situation is also a further breakthrough in the industry's unprecedented market, making the entire film industry pay attention.
This is a great thing for the crew, but in view of the public opinion incident, this is something that requires extra vigilance.
Although the public opinion results are positive, the crew is also frightened. Even the road show was so hacked. If this continues, if another monster comes out to cause trouble, it will not only delay the publicity and release planning, but also make them very miserable.
A headache.
So after Chenglong and the roadshow team contacted the company, just as Chenglong told the couple about the plan when they went to Donglin Villa to celebrate Liu Yifei's return to China, the crew and roadshow team were split into two after the Guangdong station.
Chenglong led the team to Xiangjiang, and the couple led the team to Treasure Island. They were both done at the same time. They ended early to avoid accidents. Nowadays, the popularity and response of the movie no longer need to be promoted on the road show. It is enough to be highlighted.
and preparing for the premiere.
In this way, after the Guangdong Station, Chenglong led a group of people to the Xiangjiang Roadshow. Since Liu Yifei's ID card had not been issued at that time, Wu Mengda, Zeng Baoyi, An Zhijie, and Zhang Yuqi went to Baodao first.
.
Logically speaking, after the storm of public opinion has passed, the film's road show will go smoothly. Who knows that the Xiangjiang road show hosted by Cheng Long did not have any problems, but an unexpected situation came from Baodao.
As the backbone of the Baodao Road Show and the boss and wife of the Brilliant Era, the couple set off for this son of the motherland the next day after receiving a call from the head of the road show team.
…
The blue waves of the Sun Moon Lake are magnificent, and the picturesque mountains and rivers reflect the blue sky.
The last time the couple came to Taiwan was when they participated in "New Police Story" and were shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards in 2004. One of them won the Best Supporting Actor and the other was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress.
Returning to this place five years later feels fresh and a little emotional.
Perhaps because they have been in Beijing and Shenzhen for a long time, their second impression here is that nothing has changed, as if this place has not developed in the past five years. TV propaganda still boasts that mainland China cannot afford tea eggs, which makes people feel helpless.
Be true to your words.
In a place run by a group of "gangsters", it's okay to say that they can't afford tea eggs. In the early years, they said that people in the mainland chewed tree bark. This made the mainland not even think about arguing. It was really too retarded to go there.
Arguing a few words will make you look incompetent.
But TV belongs to TV, and ideological propaganda at the top is a matter for the top. In the current era, it does not have much impact on the ordinary people here who still have enthusiasm for the mainland and mainlanders. The main reason is that the mobile Internet has not yet been fully developed.
The impact of attitude guidance and steering has not been profound.
"Chu Xuan?"
"Liu Yifei?"
The couple looked away from the airport TV screen and saw several Baodao girls calling out their names in doubt, and they waved and said hello.
"Oh my God! It's really you!"
"Wow - those are Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei!"
"Where is it?"
"It's really Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei!"
"Li Xiaoyao! Zhao Ling'er!"
In the eyes of mainland audiences, the couple's TV series are all classics, and each one leaves a deep impression on the audience.
In the eyes of Baodao audiences, the most impressive one is "Sword of Immortal". For this reason, the stand-alone game "Sword of Immortal" which is the origin of the show became popular from Baodao. This sentiment has a profound impact on Baodao audiences.
Unlike mainland audiences who would shout out the names of the characters in "The Condor", "Hope", "Struggle" and "Legend of Red Flame" when they see the couple, the audience here shouts "Li Xiaoyao" and "Li Xiaoyao" from "Sword"
"Zhao Ling'er" shows how popular "Sword of Immortal" played by the couple is in Baodao.
"You are finally coming to our treasure island. We "Sword and Fairy" fans have been waiting for many years!"
""The Condor" is also good, but I still like "The Sword"."
"I like Liu Yifei's "Legend of Red Flame", it's so beautiful!"
On the way out of the terminal, facing the enthusiastic audience, the couple kept smiling and said "thank you".
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, what are you doing in Baodao? Is there any commercial activity?"
"Here to promote the movie."
Liu Yifei said without hesitation that she received a series of surprises from passers-by and friends.
"Did you make a movie?"
"Was it taken with Chu Xuan?"
"What kind of movie is it?"
"Whenever it is released, I will definitely go see it!"
If it were normal, it would be a good thing for a new work to trigger such a reaction from passers-by.
But now, this situation surprised Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Logically speaking, these fans and audiences in front of us should be concerned about the entertainment industry. It is strange that their movies are so well-known and these audiences don't seem to know about them.
"There will be news when the time comes, so stay tuned. Thank you for your support."
Fang Qing, the leader of the road show team, came to pick her up. Liu Yifei said hello to passers-by and waved goodbye, then got into a commercial vehicle with Chu Xuan and Lu Tao and drove away under the gaze of many passers-by.
"What's going on?" Chu Xuan asked, sitting on the car seat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang Qing was sitting in the passenger seat, turned half of her body and said: "First of all, there is no news about our movie in Treasure Island."
"Guessed it." Liu Yifei said: "Those passers-by just now didn't know our movie at all, so I felt there was something wrong with the promotion."
"It's not a matter of publicity." Fang Qing shook her head: "It's because the Baodao media didn't report on our movie. It didn't report it from the beginning to the end, including the public opinion storm some time ago. There was no mention of it in the Baodao media.
Don’t mention it.”
"Ah? Is that so?" Liu Yifei was very surprised and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Chu Xuan thought for a while and said: "They will not publicize good news from the mainland, but they can publicize the bad news from the mainland better than anyone else. The public opinion some time ago was unfavorable to Laos and the United States. With the treasures presented in the news,
If the relationship between the island and the United States is unclear, then of course they will not promote this public opinion."
Fang Qing was silent. In a situation of great right and wrong, it was better to say less. She only expressed her approval of Chu Xuan's speech with a silent attitude.
Liu Yifei was also silent, understanding the current situation from Chu Xuan's words.
In the promotion of their films, labels such as "domestic", "the first Chinese science fiction", "patriotic", and "leading the industry" are amplified. Judging from the situation on both sides, Baodao Media cannot help but be under the control of capital.
Promoting their movies is easy to understand.
The public opinion that happened some time ago was against the United States. Judging from the international news, Baodao is inextricably linked to the United States. It is understandable that Baodao did not publicize this public opinion.
Therefore, the current situation is that there should be no news about their movie here in Baodao, and it will be difficult to hold a road show.
"What's more, the road show doesn't work and the theaters don't promote it, so what's the situation?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Speaking of this, Fang Qing was speechless: "The local business alliance said that if we want to have a road show to promote it, we should pay them, instead of them giving us money and paying back NT$2 million for a place, just do it.
, If you don’t pay, don’t disturb the local store’s business. If we bypass them and go to the store to promote it, they will sue us for disturbing business order.”
The couple hadn't spoken yet. Lu Tao, who had been a soldier, couldn't stand listening anymore and immediately frowned and said: "Not every store will join the business alliance. Can't we go to stores that are not under the jurisdiction of the business alliance? This business alliance is
Gangsters, what they say is completely unreasonable."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei laughed. Lu Tao rarely spoke. It seemed that Fang Qing's words inspired a righteous heart.
Fang Qing shook her head: "When you act on other people's territory, you will always be short-changed. If you can avoid something, it will be less troublesome. No matter whether they are unreasonable or not, I think there is no need to cooperate with the business alliance for this road show. I can't mess with it."
Just avoid it from now on, the mainland is our home court, and the market here is not important."
"I agree." Liu Yifei agreed: "Since the partner has no sincerity, there is no need for us to put up a smile. Sister Fang, you also said that the market here is not very important, so let's avoid it and think of a way.
Finish the two days of movie viewing promotion here and go back."
She looked at Chu Xuan: "Boss Chu, what do you say?"
During the public opinion storm not long ago, the company initially put a lot of effort into public relations to counterattack, which made the company, crew and road show team miserable. That's because the mainland is the home of this movie. If the home is completely suppressed,
Then the movie is almost finished.
The market in Baodao is too small. The top box office is only 20 to 30 million, unlike the mainland market which has 30 to 400 million. So when faced with trouble here, the road show team is not very anxious. It can even be said that they don’t pay much attention to it.
, this is also due to the fact that the movie is doing very well in mainland China after public opinion.
And when Chu Xuan thought about it, it seemed a bit funny when he thought about it: "I understand, it costs one million Taiwan dollars to open a place, so according to the original plan, a road show should cost tens of millions of Taiwan dollars?"
"This is not a matter of sincerity, it is simply not wanting to cooperate with us, or to put it bluntly, it is preventing us from promoting our business."
"But stop us from publicizing it, and you haven't done anything else, and you haven't used the media to slander us. It doesn't look like you are strongly against us."
"I highly doubt that this is just plain disgusting to us."
Fang Qing nodded repeatedly and said helplessly: "Mr. Chu is thinking the same thing as me, that is, someone is disgusting with us."
Judging from the public opinion that just ended, it was with the purpose of destroying their movie. The dark and oppressive power is very strong.
Looking at the current troubles coming from Baodao, there is no sense of oppression. They are just preventing them from promoting their propaganda. There are no other means. These are pure disgusting people. They are not asking to kill you, but they just want to disgust you.
"Perhaps the capital behind the trouble is clear. Even if our film loses the Baodao market, the booming mainland market cannot be stopped, so the capital behind it will not spend a lot of money to mess with us, because this
It’s meaningless, so it’s just here to disgust us.”
Liu Yifei has a very clear mind. After experiencing a monstrous Internet violence, and now she has taken a substantial position as the boss lady, her thinking ability seems to have begun to grow.
"Yes, I think so too." Chu Xuan nodded, thinking the same thing as Liu Yifei.
"What about cinemas?" Liu Yifei asked.
Speaking of cinemas, Fang Qing was extremely speechless: "During the road show in Guangdong Station, I sent someone to Taipei to contact a cinema."
"I signed a 500,000 publicity and distribution agreement, and asked the cinema to arrange light box advertisements, posters and 100,000 leaflets in advance, and then accept and settle the bill when the time comes."
"I didn't know that when I came over a few days ago, I saw that this cinema had done nothing. The owner of the cinema was very rogue, saying that the cinema's business was very good and that helping us with publicity would affect the business and affect the audience's mood to watch other movies."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is just making excuses. It doesn't matter if I want to sue. If you do business locally, you can only sue to the local court. It seems that he is
If you have connections behind your back, you will be able to rely on them, which is very rogue."
The cinemas of the Brilliant Era did not develop to the treasure island, nor did they have the idea of developing to the treasure island.
Therefore, when it comes to promoting movie viewing in Baodao, we can only do roadshow activities by renting out local movie theaters.
But she didn't expect to encounter such a situation, and she was really disgusted.
"Did you give me the money?" Chu Xuan asked.
Fang Qing said: "The 50,000 yuan reserved for the two-day movie theater reservation was given, but the 450,000 yuan for publicity and distribution was not given."
"Although 50,000 is a small amount of money, it cannot be given in vain." Chu Xuan said.
Fang Qing nodded slowly: "The money has been given and there is an agreement. No matter how rogue he is, he can't stand up to the evidence of black and white writing and transfer information. But the problem now is that our movie has no publicity in Baodao. Even if there are two
No one came to see the Tianbao field.”
Fang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Although Baodao Market is not very important, it's not like you're eating nothing, right?"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also laughed, a little angry, but they still found it funny.
When I received the call in Beijing, I thought something big had happened.
Now that the situation is clear, the couple has mixed emotions.
The road show requires money to be given to the business alliance in reverse. Even if the money is given in reverse, it only costs NT$2 million or more than 400,000 yuan for one place. This is just being rogue.
The theater didn't publicize it, didn't follow the terms of the agreement at all, and collected the booking fee in advance without fear of you suing. This is very rogue.
Is this the capital method of Baodao? To be honest, it is really not on the same level as mainland capital.
Compared to Huayi's methods, this is very imbecile, imbecile and boring.
This Baodao capital is like a gangster. What age is it? It still uses these inferior methods that seem to be mentally retarded. This is really...
"I'm really disgusted." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This situation was really like child's play, not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Fang Qing was infected by the couple's emotions and became happy.
