Time flies, and it’s almost Christmas in the United States.
Although almost three months have passed since the terrorist attack, the heartbreaking pain still prevents many Americans from feeling the joy of the past during this special Christmas.
However, as a good painkiller, movies have always been something Americans like, and several blockbuster movies that will be released this Christmas are vigorously touting their "painkiller" effect, hoping to attract audiences into the cinema with overwhelming publicity.
.
Hollywood Warner Company's advertising campaign for the blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone": "Step into the magical world and feel your childhood dreams; abandon sadness and pursue the happy time that was once forgotten!"
Fresh Film Company, advertising campaign for the blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings": "The magical masterpiece is coming. Watching "The Lord of the Rings" will let you feel the power of magic!"
These overwhelming advertising slogans can be seen on posters, on the subway, on advertising screens, and in every corner where people like to go for leisure.
For such publicity, both film companies have spent a lot of money and regard each other as their biggest rivals...
Yes, in their opinion, no other film can compete with theirs. For the other party, this blockbuster with the same magical theme is also adapted from the novel of the same name. It also has thousands of book fans and a huge movie-watching group. It is so similar.
Two dramas of such equal quality can only defeat each other by working hard on publicity.
New Line's "Lord of the Rings" and Warner Bros.'s "Harry Potter" are all eyeing each other. As for "300" filmed by Yi Feiyang, they really didn't pay attention to it.
Yes, this low-budget movie has been very popular recently. Especially with the help of the international situation and the disputes about this movie, it has caused some topics. But this cannot save the fact that this movie is about to be released. The reality is cruel, it is necessary
Those who look at the box office... Box office is the key to success or failure. "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" are all confident about this, and they smashed the little "Spartan" to the ground!
Looking back, the publicity team of "Spartan" seemed to have also seen this kind of crisis. It couldn't rely on some controversial topics to create box office, so Fat Jack discussed with others and put forward a very bold idea to the company.
Regarding Fatty's proposal, Fantasy Entertainment conducted some research and adopted a democratic voting decision. Finally, the resolution was passed.
The next day, the entire Fantasy Entertainment website, its media, and the movie poster of "Spartan" had an additional sentence in the promotion, "Please contribute your strength. Half of the box office of this film will be donated to the victims of the World Trade Center
!”
Just such a sentence, but it was like a bombshell. It directly exploded the promotion of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter"!
First of all, Google website took the lead in publishing a comment: "Contrast, sharp contrast! While other blockbusters are calculating how to make money, Fantasy Entertainment is trying every means to raise funds for the victims. What kind of spirit is this? Touching
middle!"
Someone immediately commented: "The box office donation of "Spartan" allows us to see the flash of humanity and the kind side of Hollywood filmmakers. As for other movies, don't watch it!"
Posted: "Yes, I despise those companies that advertise, use blockbusters as gimmicks, and try every means to make money at the box office. Don't you have any conscience?!"
…
No one would have thought that Fantasy Entertainment would do this!
No one would have thought that they would donate half of the box office!
This move confused "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", and they thought about whether they should also donate the box office in order to extinguish everyone's anger, but both parties immediately gave up this idea. First, after seeing this
The suspicion of imitation and hindsight means that even if it is really donated, the good reputation will still be taken up by the dream; secondly, the production costs of the two dramas themselves are very high, and whether they can recover the cost is still a question, and how can they be like ""
Donate box office like "Sparta"?
Yes, donating box office is easy to say. The cost of "Spartan" is only 25 million US dollars. Even if you donate half of the box office, there won't be much loss. But what about "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter"?
Hundreds of millions!
The situation has developed to this point, and everyone is looking forward to it. Who will be the big winner this Christmas, and who will become the overlord, so just wait and see the fun!
…
Much anticipated, December 10, 2001.
It has officially entered the Christmas season, major Hollywood blockbusters, and Yi Feiyang's new work "300" have finally announced their official premiere.
On the morning of the premiere, Yi Feiyang turned on the TV, and there was a Christmas movie album report on the TV.
The scene on the TV switched to the "Dream Theater" in Hollywood, and the camera swept over the premiere scene of "Spartan". In addition to the towering heads, there were still densely packed heads. Among the countless crowds of people, there was a scrawny scene.
The reporter was so crowded that he could not keep his balance. More people gathered around the ticket office, holding their bills high and shouting, "I want two tickets, I want two tickets."
ticket!"
"Man, do you still have two tickets? God, some of the tickets have been sold out a long time ago. Where can I get tickets for you?" the black conductor yelled in panic, and the ticket hall was almost crowded by the enthusiastic movie fans at the scene.
Exploded.
"We must contribute to the victims, and we must contribute our own strength!" roared those who did not buy tickets.
"Yeah, nothing can stop us from contributing!"
"Put the box office up!"
"Donate! Donate!"
…
Faced with the turbulent scene, the security guards of the cinema were on alert, fearing that something out of control would happen.
The screen turned back to the studio, and the white male host said with lingering fear: "Oh God, everyone is so crazy. Although today is very good, there is no need to waste time like this! Just stay at home, drink a cup of coffee, and listen to music."
Isn’t it bad?”
The female host chuckled and said: "This is the charm of "Sparta". Who told the box office of this drama to be donated to help others...?"
"Having said this, I think we should pray for those victims again. May they rest in peace in heaven!"
"Yeah. It's almost Christmas. I shouldn't say this, but God..." The host's eyes were a little red.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore, let's see how popular this "Spartan" is!"
As the two hosts explained, the TV screen was transferred from the "Dream Theater" to major movie theaters in Los Angeles, and then to New York, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco and other regions.
And the result did not disappoint. There were countless long queues outside all the cinemas, waiting to buy tickets, and most of them were traveling with their families. Among them, there were countless young men and women.
Why is it so popular?
First, this play is the comeback of gold medal director Yi Feiyang, and it is also an ambitious work! Second, this play embodies the Spartan spirit and resists the violent aggression of Persia and is linked to reality! Third, this play’s
Half of the box office sales will be donated to help the victims of the World Trade Center disaster in New York. It is a work of conscience! Fourth, the starring role of this drama is Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson. There is also the controversial figure Bill Clinton! Fifth, Fantasy Entertainment
It is claimed that this "Spartan" will allow you to see real warriors! Sixth, Hollywood has been flooded with fantasy movies recently, either science fiction movies or romance movies. It is rare to find such a powerful action war movie! Seventh, new
Cable Film Company's magical masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" and Warner Bros. Pictures' magical fairy tale "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will be released two days later, which means that Fantasy Entertainment's drama will be released first! Eighth
, the pre-sale tickets on the premiere day are slightly cheaper than the ticket prices after the official release, and there are gifts for purchasing tickets. Especially for young people, there is also a very good guessing game!
To sum up, this is the reason why "300" is such a hit. Of course, this so-called "big hit" is based on the fact that it has no rivals for the time being. "Spartan" is the only one.
That's why it's so popular.
While Yi Feiyang was watching the TV broadcast, the atmosphere in the entire Hollywood movie world had been completely ignited by the drama "300".
This is a crowded place.
A movie theater in Hollywood.
"I'm a reporter from Fox TV, and I'm doing a live interview for you at the Dream Theater, the largest movie theater in Los Angeles!" said the black male reporter, finding a young white woman with a red face holding a banknote in her hand, and asked politely: "Excuse me
Madam, can I interview you?"
"Oh? Interview me? Well, of course!" The lady quickly put down the banknotes, straightened her hair, smiled charmingly and said, "Okay, we can start!"
"Okay!" The black reporter withdrew his gaze and asked, "I wonder if you usually like to watch movies?"
"Of course!" the young white woman smiled and said, "As long as it is on holiday, I will definitely watch one or two movies, because it is a good way to relax. Well, yes, I have developed this habit.
Relaxing habits.”
"This is a great way to be praised!" The black reporter flattered, and then asked: "So, I don't know what type of movies you like to watch the most?"
"I also like historical films, ethics films, oh, and romance films, like "Gone with the Wind"!" The young white woman smiled particularly comfortably, looked at the camera and said: "Originally I don't like war films, I think they are too bloody and too bloody.
It's violent, but because the box office of "Spartan" is going to be donated, I think I should also contribute a little bit of my strength! I can't help it, I'm just so kind!"
The words are very beautiful and remind people of the beauty of her soul.
The black reporter nodded, coughed, and continued to ask: "Didn't your husband come with you?"
"He's here, but he's already squeezed in." The young white woman shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "You know, it's really hard to buy tickets today. After all, everyone has to go to work tomorrow."
"Well, yes, I understand this eagerness!" The black reporter reached out and shook the white young woman's hand. "Thank you for accepting the interview with our TV station. I wish you good luck, thank you!"
The young white woman left, and the reporter stopped another pair of boys and girls and said with a smile: "Hello, you two! Sorry for shouting!"
After saying hello, the black reporter immediately asked: "Do you usually like to watch movies?"
"Well, it's not bad!" The boy had fiery red hair and was dressed very fashionably. He didn't want to dump this reporter at first. But when he saw a dark camera filming him, he immediately smiled brightly.
, holding his girlfriend by the hand, said with a smile: "We usually like to have parties, occasionally listen to rock music, or watch movies! Like today, I originally planned to go to Disneyland with my girlfriend, but now
Came here..."
"Why?" the black reporter asked knowingly.
"Of course it's to witness the birth of a great action movie!" This time the girl spoke up first and said with admiration: "I am China's most loyal fan of Yi. Yes, I have watched almost all of his movies.
However, in my opinion, this drama will definitely be exciting, although I heard it is a bit violent..."
"Well, I think I won't disappoint you, because I heard that although China Yi's drama is violent, it is full of violent aesthetics." The black reporter said with a smile, "In addition, I can also tell you. In fact, I am too
Chinese movie fans of Yi!" He blinked his eyes.
After bidding farewell to this pair of trendy and fashionable boys and girls, the black reporter asked some other movie fans of different age groups. Finally, they finally concluded that they either prepared popcorn and came here to relax, or they came here because they wanted to watch the movie.
Let’s see how many surprises there are in China Yi’s comeback. Of course, most people come because of the promise of donating the box office. After all, being able to make some contribution to the victims of the 911 incident is the wish of many people.
At 7:30 that night, Yi Feiyang finally received a call from Fat Jack, saying that everything was ready.
As Lafayette Lafayette in the fashion industry and the close disciple of fashion emperor Lagerfeld, Yi Feiyang is very unqualified as a disciple. In other words, his taste in fashion is very peaceful, which even makes Lafayette a little bit jealous of iron.
For example, at the last Oscar awards ceremony, if Lafayette hadn't personally helped Yi Feiyang create a set of "Fire Cloud Evil God" Oscar uniforms, Yi Feiyang would not have been so popular at the awards ceremony.
Now, whether the first round of Yi Feiyang's comeback can be launched is essentially related to Yi Feiyang's personal promotion.
Don't forget, the reason why many movie fans come to watch this drama is because of Yi Feiyang's reputation. If Yi Feiyang is still as slovenly as before, won't the dreams of many girls who dream of Prince Charming be shattered? Therefore,
Yi Feiyang is rarely fully armed and dresses himself up like a super handsome guy.
He is wearing a vaguely snow-white suit, his hair is flowing and slightly bleached at the ends, and he has a folded handkerchief on the left chest of his suit. He looks gentlemanly and distinguished.
After Yi Feiyang dressed up, he slowly came to the "Dream Theater" with his bodyguards.
The entrance of the theater was already crowded with a sea of enthusiastic fans, as well as a dense crowd of movie fans and media.
The moment Yi Feiyang opened the car door and stepped out of the car, the light on his body was at least several times brighter. Not only was Yi Feiyang himself temporarily blinded, but even the "fans" were so embarrassed that they covered their eyes for fear.
Blinded by the flashes of countless cameras!
Although he was temporarily invisible to reporters, there was no anger or depression on Yi Feiyang's face, only a smile, a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"Thank you, everyone, thank you, thank you..." Yi Feiyang walked forward, waving to everyone along the way, with a graceful and free manner.
The snow-white suit, highlighted silver hair, and Yi Feiyang's tall and straight figure give people the feeling of a snow elf.
Yes, at that moment, Yi Feiyang gave people the feeling of "stunning", just like the last time he attended the Oscars, last time it was "Fire Cloud Evil God" and this time it was "Snow Elf".
"Oh God, I see him! He's so handsome!"
"Cool! He shouldn't be a director, but an actor!"
"China Yi's comeback amazes me!"
…
"Handsome, tall, and unrestrained, with jade trees facing the wind, graceful..." All the women were intoxicated by Yi Feiyang at this moment. While the men were jealous in their hearts, they couldn't help but sigh: "It's really true in the magazine
That’s right, this guy from the East really has super lethality, at least it makes many women fall in love at first sight!”
It turns out that "Playboy" magazine in the United States, which is mainly about leisure and entertainment and specializes in adultery, has recently made a very interesting ranking list, that is, the "Top Ten Most Charming Men in Hollywood". The requirements for entry are:
A charming smile, a fit body, perfect grace and charming talent. The most popular among women. The easiest to fall in love with at first sight. The most eager to have a one-night stand...
And what a great honor, Yi Feiyang happens to be on the list, and he is also the only Chinese to make it into the top ten!
This shows how amazing Yi Feiyang’s current charm is!
"Yi, I love you!" A freckle-faced white woman shouted with emotion, causing everyone to look at her.
Yi Feiyang did not show disdain because of the ugly appearance of the other woman. On the contrary, he waved to the woman politely and then showed his most charming smile as a greeting.
"Wow, he waved at me! I'm going to die, God, I'm really going to die!" The white woman looked like she was about to faint.
"Yi, I want to marry you!" A cute little girl broke away from her parents' pull, shouted and rushed towards Yi Feiyang.
"Boss, be careful!" The bodyguards around Yi Feiyang moved quickly to protect him in front of Yi Feiyang, blocking the little girl from outside.
"It doesn't matter!" Yi Feiyang patted the bodyguard on the shoulder, then squatted down and said to the little girl: "Of course you can marry me. Don't wait until you grow up!"
"Really? As long as I grow up, you will marry me."
"Well. As cute and beautiful as you are, of course I am willing!"
"Cool! We're committed!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
The little girl smiled, suddenly kissed Yi Feiyang on the face, smiled, and ran away.
The cute little girl like a doll staged the scene of "stealing a kiss". After the beginning, the women at the scene became brave and shouted: "Yi, I love you too, let's get married."
!" They crowded crazily towards Yi Feiyang.
The scene suddenly became hectic.
Yi Feiyang was shocked, but he faced him with a smile, opened his arms, and said very gentlemanly: "I love you too! But I hope everyone stays calm, very good, you are all here to support my new play today, aren't you?!
"
"Yes, we support it!"
"You are the best!"
…
Enthusiastic movie fans shouted.
Yi Feiyang was quite moved. Facing them, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, really, thank you very much!"
For a time, the whole atmosphere was full of sincerity and friendship.
This is the best interaction between filmmakers and fans.
Just when Yi Feiyang was surrounded by enthusiastic fans, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, Mel Gibson is here!"
Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson wore a black and gray tuxedo today, dignified, serious, and full of gentlemanly style.
The fans shouted loudly when they saw him, and Gibson waved in a very graceful manner, then walked to Yi Feiyang, shook hands with him, and whispered: "Thankfully I came earlier, otherwise you would have robbed all the limelight."
Got it!"
…
Yi Feiyang and Mel Gibson stood side by side, and media reporters took photos of them.
As for the other protagonist of this drama, Bill Clinton, he arrived belatedly.
Compared with the gentlemanly demeanor of Yi Feiyang and Mike, Clinton seems coquettish.
Wearing a black and white zebra-style coat and a black and white hat on his head, he is simply a replica of a zebra.
Clinton's outfit is absolutely unique. You know, when he was president, he was almost the spokesperson for suits. He was either a black suit or a gray suit, either a gray suit or a black and gray suit. You have never seen him in casual clothes.
, and I have never seen him dressed so casually and coquettishly. Therefore, there is no doubt that all the cameras immediately turned to focus on this "zebra" that suddenly appeared.
Clinton enjoys the feeling of being noticed by everyone, especially after he was laid off as president, the brilliance he once had has gradually faded. How can this make him feel embarrassed after he is used to the life of a celebrity?
But now, on this red carpet, which was not too long, he actually found that long-lost feeling again.
Yi Feiyang, Mel Gibson, and Bill Clinton, three of the most popular men in Hollywood today gathered together. As a result, under the flash of crackling spotlights, the three of them waved frequently, and the whole scene was completely detonated.
Fans, fans, were hysterical, shouting.
The three handsome men smile and smile again!
Glorious, graceful and makes people scream loudly.
Until the three of them walked into the cinema, leaving only the hazy back figures, all the movie fans were still in a dreaming state and couldn't extricate themselves... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
