Speaking of which, the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" has not yet been released. Many people say that this is using Chinese medicine to treat Western diseases. To be precise, it is using Indian movies to compete with Hollywood. In this regard, Yi Feiyang said:
The answer is very simple. Since it is traditional Chinese medicine, it needs a medicinal primer. With a medicinal primer, it can cure all diseases!
It is a very mysterious passage, and the subsequent actions of Yi Feiyang and his Fantasy Entertainment Company seem to interpret the meaning of this passage, or to be precise, tell everyone what a "medicine introduction" is.
The United States is the most developed country in the West, but being developed does not mean that it is really rich. Even if it is really rich, it does not mean that everyone is rich. You can walk around and take a look. In fact, there are still many poor and poor people in the United States.
Homeless people. These people have no medical coverage, no social insurance, no job, no fixed income, no place to live, and no family or friends.
No one cares about them, no one cares about them, no one pays attention to their life and death, they just live so quietly, silently, drinking dirty water, rummaging through garbage, eating discarded food, lonely, lonely
, helpless and helpless.
Of course, these people sometimes get into groups and gather in a certain place, a place where society does not pay attention and no one cares about them. This kind of place is the "refugee camp" in the United States, and over time it becomes a "refugee camp" in the United States.
"Ghetto"!
But generally speaking, the largest number of real slums in the United States are black communities. Especially those new immigrants smuggled from Africa, and those black people who have been unable to find jobs for a long time.
"In the United States, a paradise for poor people is also a paradise for violence!" Many American people have described life in American slums this way. Because everyone has different views on black American culture, it is difficult to define it. Some people blame the white American government
They oppress black people and are unwilling to let black people become rich and powerful. Some people also accuse black areas of having crime rates that are dozens of times higher than white areas.
In the United States, most black Americans are the descendants of black slaves. Although serious racial discrimination between blacks and whites has long been a thing of the past and is not regarded as a cause for trouble by contemporary people, there are still certain "racial discriminations" lurking in the United States.
"Isolation" phenomenon.
For many years, the United States has been considered by the outside world to be a gold-mining country, a global power with everything it needs, and its positive side has always been promoted. But in reality, the United States in reality is also selfish, cruel, and does not care about the lives of its people.
These things mostly happen in the slums of black communities in the United States.
In front of me, dilapidated buildings, muddy roads, gray sun, a few kittens and puppies pulling garbage, and the smell of open defecation... Fantasy Entertainment sent personnel to the largest slum in Los Angeles---West Ten
Three blocks.
Eighty percent of the people in this neighborhood are black. For them, they have already adapted to this situation of being ignored and cared about. But today, Fantasy Entertainment Company launched an event here.
Movie watching activities!
Yes, Yi Feiyang is preparing to hold the premiere of his new movie in this area, and the place he chose is the slums known as Los Angeles Hell!
Premiere in the ghetto?!
It's scary to think about it.
You know, this is a violent area. On average, there is a fight every three minutes, a theft every ten minutes, a robbery every twenty minutes, and a rape every half an hour...
Ke Yi Feiyang is going to hold the premiere here, and the premiere will be attended by thousands of people!
In other words, he wants to summon tens of thousands of people from the slums, including those around the slums, to watch his movie together!
The ticket price of this movie is only one dollar, which is far lower than the average ticket price of 6 dollars in the American market. And Yi Feiyang promised that all the box office revenue from this premiere will be used to improve the community of West Thirteenth Street.
Facilities...
As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the entire Los Angeles and the entire United States!
You know, since the birth of the movie, there have been countless premieres, but there has never been such a "unique" premiere.
Premiere with thousands of people!
Ghetto Premiere!
These two stunts alone are enough to make all Americans moved.
…
"A cunning plot! This must be another cunning plot played by China Yi!"
"Yes, it's definitely China Yi who is playing tricks! What nonsense is it premiering with thousands of people, just to gain attention!"
"The cunning Yi Feiyang cleverly used the slums of the United States to support his new film!"
…
In addition to the above unpleasant comments, there are also some very special voices.
"China is able to use movies to benefit American slums. This is definitely something worthy of praise!"
"The conscience of the movie is perfectly displayed from him!"
"Filmmakers with conscience will support him!"
…
It can be said that Yi Feiyang's "drug introduction" this time is very good. At least the more polarized public opinion is, the easier it is to become topical.
However, Yi Feiyang felt that this was not enough to fan the flames of his drama in the Christmas season, so he contacted his partner Fox TV station in the United States and the president of the American Travel Daily, and after discussion, he established a "Christmas One-Day Tour to the American Slums"
” activities.
The activity started with a TV program ---
The title of the program: "Six Dollars to Hell and Back."
A beautiful blond female reporter stood in front of the camera, holding a microphone in her hand, and said with a magnetic voice: "The West Thirteenth Street District of Los Angeles appeared in front of us. It was like a huge garbage dump. The houses inside were made of bricks.
The roof is a hodgepodge of concrete, covered with wavy metal sheets, which glow dullly under the sunlight. However, compared with these insignificant warm lights, the cold wind that has entered winter now makes the metal sheets crackle.
Sound..."
The female reporter worked very hard to describe the situation captured in the camera, and then used words full of literary sensibility to describe and express it.
"Most of the houses here are divided into two floors. The height of the ground floor and attic is less than 1.5 meters. The alleys are complicated, and people often get lost as soon as they turn around. The alleys are piled with recycled waste and household garbage. There is a smell of
There is a strong putrid smell. There are almost no public health facilities here. On average, every 15 families share one water pipe. The water supply is two hours a day; every 1,440 people share one toilet..."
"This is hell in the city!" This is the conclusion of the female reporter.
…
As expected, this program planned by Yi Feiyang immediately piqued the curiosity of many Americans. Especially those children who grew up in wealthy families and thought that the United States was paradise since they were young, they curiously asked their parents: "The United States
Is there really such a hell?"
Faced with such questions, parents have no answer.
And more Americans are attracted by this "Christmas Hell One Day Tour" activity. After all, it would be great and cool to have a taste of hell in such a joyful atmosphere as Christmas!
As a result, the event created by Yi Feiyang - fermented!
This one-day tour is very cheap. The cheapest one is to walk, which lasts two and a half hours, for only 6 US dollars. The most expensive one, with a warm and comfortable SUV, only costs 135 US dollars.
As the creator, Yi Feiyang said in an interview that a one-day trip to the slums only costs $6. You can experience the feeling of going back and forth in "hell", which will shock the viewer's soul.
Undoubtedly, the biggest benefit of this activity is the people in the slums... Many tourists couldn't help but feel soft when they visited, especially when they saw many black children running around barefoot on the cold ground in the cold weather.
If they go there, their hearts will beat, so they donated a lot of food, clothing, and Christmas gifts. The black children had socks, sneakers, and Christmas gifts for the first time.
When the reporter from Fox TV station focused the camera on the children holding "Christmas gifts" and smiling innocently, everyone in front of the TV was touched.
For a time, the "Christmas Hell One Day Tour" prepared by Yi Feiyang heated up rapidly. More and more people came to visit the West 13th Block, and they brought more and more loving gifts. Among these people who dedicated their love
, there were celebrities, businessmen, students, white-collar workers, new immigrants, and even many high-ranking officials from the U.S. government came.
Iron lady Hillary came with her husband Clinton, and they brought a truckload of Christmas gifts. The mayor of Los Angeles and his secretary came, and they brought government donations... The big star Stallone came, and Tom Cruise came,
Julia Roberts is here, and golf star Tiger Woods is here...
Many, many people came.
They saw the American slums in front of them, and even saw the large venue where the premiere was being held, and the giant banner - "Slumdog Millionaire"!
…
The news that Yi Feiyang's new work is about to premiere has skyrocketed!
With the help of a one-day tour of the American slums, the whole United States knew that his movie would be released on December 15th.
The celebrities and politicians who came to assist and visit the slums were smoothly invited to participate in this unprecedented premiere event.
Those major movie companies that originally wanted to isolate Fantasy Entertainment and steal guests were disappointed, and in turn, they lost many special guests.
Not only that, but what annoys them the most is that many major American TV stations are scrambling to grab the right to broadcast the premiere of Yi Feiyang's "Slumdog Millionaire"!
The reason is that this premiere is too gimmicky and the scene is grand enough, not to mention there are so many eye-catching guests...
for this sudden change.
Regarding this outrageous situation.
The seven major film companies that originally wanted to be proud of Hollywood once again tasted Yi Feiyang's hidden iron fist and were beaten black and blue.
But they will never admit defeat.
After all, I am an established company with a history of nearly a century. How could I lose to such a junior? To a young kid like China Yi?
As long as "Slumdog Millionaire" is not released for a day, they still have a chance to turn around!
No! To be precise, what will happen even if this movie is released? Does a damn Indian-themed movie still want to make waves in the United States?! Go to hell!
Many people cursed Yi Feiyang and his drama!
Amidst all the curses, the time has finally arrived on December 15th, and the premiere with tens of thousands of people planned by Yi Feiyang is about to begin!
…
Before Christmas, the slums were much less desolate than before. With the help and donations of kind-hearted people, many black children had warm clothes and delicious meals. Some even predicted that Santa Claus, who has never been here, would be here.
He will come here before Christmas, that is, tonight, to visit those black children who have been looking forward to him.
Led by the adults, the children from Block 13 came to the cold and huge premiere square and found their seats to sit down. One by one, they (them) held donated bear toys or Barbie dolls.
, holding his little chin with his hand, waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus.
In a huge square that is spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people. It was originally a smelly garbage dump, but it was cleaned up by Fantasy Entertainment Company and designed as quickly as possible into this splendid large square in front of you. The front of the square
, a large movie screen is hung, forming a wonderful arc, so that more people can clearly see the movie on the screen from a distance.
It's cold in Los Angeles in December, but thousands of people gather together, forming an invisible energy. People's body temperature makes the place as warm as spring. You can't feel the cold outside at all.
Of course, the "premiere of 10,000 people" previously claimed by Fantasy Entertainment was somewhat exaggerated. The so-called 10,000 people were only five or six thousand people at most. After all, the venue was limited, the movie screen was only that big, and there were too many people after all.
It's not easy to maintain order...but even so, such a large-scale premiere is rare in the history of American movies.
A slum is a slum after all!
Yi Feiyang was never stupid enough to think that this place would become a peaceful and prosperous age, nor was he stupid enough that this place would become stable and safe in a way that would give him face. Therefore, he contacted the Los Angeles police and deployed a lot of security measures and protection around it.
measure.
It is Yi Feiyang's point of view to take precautions against the slightest and nip all hidden dangers before they happen.
A large amount of police investment, a large amount of protective equipment, as well as the renovation of the premiere square, movie promotion channels, etc., all require money. To put it bluntly, it is capital investment.
A rough calculation shows that Fantasy Entertainment has spent a total of US$38 million so far for this unprecedented premiere of 10,000 people!
In a sense, it also broke the highest financial investment for a Fantasy Entertainment premiere.
…
The suit was straight, and Yi Feiyang looked in the mirror and straightened his clothes.
With the help of a makeup assistant, Yi Feiyang combed her hair neatly, but during the combing process, Yi Feiyang discovered that there were a few more gray hairs on her temples.
"I'm only twenty-five years old, but my hair was born early!" This made Yi Feiyang secretly sigh.
"Boss, it's ready!"
"Boss, everything is ready!"
"It's time to go!"
Under the urging of people around him, Yi Feiyang left Fantasy Entertainment and went straight to the premiere.
Tonight, this battle must be won!
…
West 13th Street, Los Angeles.
When the time jumped to 7:30, the entire premiere square was already overcrowded. No one could have imagined that so many people would gather for this "ten thousand people premiere". It was so dark that at first glance, they were all heads.
The celebrities who were the special guests didn't expect that they came out to support Yi Feiyang because of his reputation. But looking at the situation in front of them, it seemed that they were really right. Didn't you see those reporters rushing to get him first?
Take a picture of yourself?!
Yes, the scene was very lively, especially the media reporters who were very busy. They thought to themselves, this is not a premiere, it is more lively than a Christmas party.
The two kings of Bollywood, Shahrul Khan and Aamir Khan, are here, and the leading actors Emma, Jason, and two young actors have also made a special flight from India---especially the two young actors.
This was the first time for the guy to fly on a plane, so he was very excited.
In addition to the crew members, there are also celebrities from all walks of life in the United States.
Hillary Clinton is here, Tom Cruise is here, Will Smith is here, Julia Roberts is here, and even King Michael Jackson is here!
A big scene like this is enough to show the amazing strength of Fantasy Entertainment, as well as Yi Feiyang's extensive network of contacts.
Unlike previous premieres, Yi Feiyang did not go on stage to speak. Instead, under a burst of lights, Fat Jack, dressed as Santa Claus, slinging wires and carrying a big bag, slowly fell from the sky.
Everyone was stunned by this amazing scene.
The children in the slums all opened their eyes wide and looked at this magical guest with great innocence. No, it should be Santa Claus.
Originally, in their minds, Santa Claus was just a myth and legend, and they would not take care of poor children like him. Just like many black children asked: "Mom, does Santa Claus not like black children?"
But now, everything in front of them broke their thoughts, because Santa Claus really came and brought them rich gifts, many, many beautiful gifts!
Santa Claus descends from the sky!
What comes down is not just dreams, but also hopes!
None of the guests present at the scene, as well as the moviegoers, expected that Fantasy Entertainment would perform such a unique skill.
Those media reporters couldn't wait to take pictures of the scene just now, and they all prepared drafts in their stomachs.
"Santa Claus descended from the sky, and the dream premiere shocked the audience!"
"Hold the premiere and show love! Santa Claus will also come to the premiere!"
"The dream of poor children, the hope of fantasy entertainment!"
…
The atmosphere has been adjusted to the highest level.
The cold Christmas Eve has become extremely cozy and warm.
If in the past, Yi Feiyang was pursuing the never-ending news breaking and the hype of his works, then now, he has looked down on all this because of the happy smiling faces of the black children in front of him.
"They are easily satisfied, aren't they?" Yi Feiyang said silently, "But what about myself? Is my ambition too big?"
Next to him, Anne Hathaway held his hand, gently, gently... held it. (To be continued...)
