If you want to win a war, you must do enough work behind all parties.
The same goes for movies.
From planning, to preparation, to shooting, a movie has gone through countless publicity and reviews. Then to post-production, planned release, release promotion, word-of-mouth, box office collection, audience feedback, etc., it can be said that the whole process is
It seems simple, but is actually complex.
Now, with two major companies, Columbia and MGM, and the hidden power of President George W. Bush strongly supporting the movie "Avatar," it is really difficult for Yi Feiyang's "Havoc in Heaven" to break through.
Sometimes I can't help but find it funny that a shitty movie can rise to the level of political struggle.
Just when Yi Feiyang was smiling bitterly, a phone call came, but it was from his old friend Clinton. Needless to say, he very friendly invited Yi Feiyang to their home for dinner.
Yi Feiyang smiled, he had been invited to dinner these days. Just now it was the White House, and now it is the former president's private residence.
It is said that Clinton has lived a very happy life in the past two years. When he has time, he writes a personal biography, makes movies, and even records songs. He has done everything a star should do. It can be said that Bill Clinton is now
The biggest goal is to be like President Reagan and become the first presidential star in the history of the United States.
In fact, Clinton is really lucky. Although he stepped down from the throne of the president, he unexpectedly joined Fantasy Entertainment. Who would have thought that this company would turn out to be a rocket company, and its development speed is simply astonishing. Judging from the current situation
, today’s Fantasy Entertainment has simply become one of the well-deserved giants in Hollywood.
Although Clinton stepped down, he became a part of Fantasy Entertainment and was praised as an entertainment star among political stars. He became a household name and became more famous than when he was president. Why did he work so hard? Because even though Clinton stepped down, he
But she is still ambitious. To be precise, his wife Hillary is very ambitious. Her biggest ambition is to become the first female president in the history of the United States.
However, she also knows that it is difficult for a woman to enter politics in the United States, and it is even more difficult for a woman to become president. Therefore, she must accumulate enough political capital.
What's abominable is that my husband failed to live up to his expectations. When he was president, he couldn't control his subordinates and caused a sex scandal, which led to him being impeached and almost resigning. It can be said that it is impossible to take advantage of her husband's political reputation.
Thank God that he didn't do himself any harm. Fortunately, he met a good person, that is Yi Feiyang of Fantasy Entertainment. Hillary's view of this extremely legendary young man is that he is accomplished, ambitious, and capable!
This kind of talent is a once-in-a-lifetime teammate. As long as he can stand with me, I will have a huge advantage in terms of public opinion and media.
Thank God, my family has had a good relationship with China from the beginning, so now is a critical moment to strengthen the close relationship.
That night, the luxurious villa was brightly lit. It was the place where the former president lived. Clinton made a lot of benefits from Dream Entertainment, and it can be said that he was not short of money at all. Therefore, he could live such a prosperous life in an upright manner. Don't worry about it at all.
That shit, the tax bureau, and the anti-corruption bureau’s audits.
At this moment, Clinton, who was supposed to be leisurely drinking red wine and watching TV, and his wife Hillary were anxiously waiting for a friend at the door.
To be honest, it had been a long time since they had waited for someone like this, and few people had the qualifications to make them wait at the door.
But now, they have to wait patiently for the person to come, because that person is none other than Yi Feiyang, a popular figure who is currently being attracted by many parties.
Politics cannot be separated from the media. A good media person or media tycoon must be a good friend. Obviously, judging from the current situation, many American political experts are willing to put aside their status and associate with Yi Feiyang, a Chinese tycoon.
Not for anything else, just for the future.
The car came late with its whistle honking.
As soon as Yi Feiyang got off the car, Clinton went up to hug him affectionately, "Oh God, you are finally here. The food in the house is almost cold!"
"Sorry, something happened to delay me!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
Here, Clinton kept getting closer to Yi Feiyang. Over there, Hillary fulfilled her role as "sister-in-law" and invited Yi Feiyang into the restaurant. Everything was prepared, including a sumptuous dinner and sweet wine.
However, what caught Yi Feiyang's attention was that there were four seats instead of three. So Yi Feiyang asked: "Is there anyone else coming?"
"Oh yes, I will introduce you to a friend later, a very good friend!" Hilary smiled mysteriously.
Yi Feiyang didn't know what they were trying to do, but he had never seen anything before, so he didn't take it to heart.
Everything is ready and waiting for the guests to arrive for dinner.
At this time the doorbell rang.
Hillary smiled mysteriously at Yi Feiyang and said, "Okay, our last friend has finally arrived!"
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but look, but saw the door open, and a tall black man came in from the outside. The man held a bottle of red wine in his hand. He hugged Hillary and said, "I didn't bring any gifts. This bottle of red wine hopes that
You will like it."
The two walked over chatting and laughing, and the black man greeted Clinton, "Hi, Bill, did you watch the game the Chicago Bruins won recently? It was really great!"
His words were affectionate and casual, and it seemed that he was very familiar with the Clinton family.
"Okay, you guy, come here, let me introduce you to a friend!" Clinton pulled Yi Feiyang over with a smile and said: "Even if I don't tell you, you must know him, China Yi, a famous Hollywood director!"
"Hi, hello, I'm Yi Feiyang!" Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand.
"Hello, I'm Barack Obama!" the black man said, holding his hand.
Ahem, what?!
Only then did Yi Feiyang see clearly, wasn't the tender black man in front of him the first black president in the history of the United States in his previous life?
Damn it, it turns out that the friend the Clintons want to introduce is him!
If you remember correctly, after Obama came to power in his previous life, he appointed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. It can be said that the two parties cooperated happily, but some people said that Obama was paving the way for Hillary to get closer to the presidency. Of course, some people said that Obama and Hillary were in the Democratic Party
They are strong competitors. The reason why Obama wants to promote Hillary is to calm her emotions about her failure in the election. After all, we are all members of the same party.
In any case, Yi Feiyang now sees clearly that the relationship between Obama and the Clinton family is so "unique".
"Nice to meet you. Dear Mr. Yi, I have heard of your name in the entertainment industry for a long time. I also like your movies very much. How should I put it? I think you are one of the few great directors among Chinese-American directors.
Yes, your works are full of profound meanings. The characters you create are full of unique perceptions... From your movies, I see the liberation of the minds of Hollywood directors..."
Damn, you are so good at talking, no wonder he will become the first black president in the future.
Yi Feiyang sighed at the other party's eloquence, and deep down he had to admit that such words sounded really comfortable, so he had to have a good impression of this black man.
People and first impressions are very important.
At least, judging from the current situation, the first meeting between Yi Feiyang and Obama was very friendly.
The four of them sat down separately. As hosts, the Clintons were very warm and thoughtful, and prepared a sumptuous dinner. They all sat together and talked about movies, football, and some of the current political situations.
Of course, some aspects of the topic are just superficial discussions. Yi Feiyang understands that these are topics after the meal, just like the last time at the White House, the real "big meal" comes later.
Sure enough, after the meal, Clinton used a little humor to chat with them for a while, and then got down to business and said: "Dear friends, why don't we go to the study and sit down!"
Examination, study room again?
Could it be that the study rooms of American politicians are all places for cliques and selfish interests? We can’t change the place!
In the study room, everyone sat down very cordially and friendly. Compared with George W. Bush's study room in the White House, the place here is not too big, but it is very warm. Especially the colorful oil paintings hanging on the walls give people a sense of
The feeling of spring.
Yes, this is indeed a very suitable place for conversation, at least it won't make people feel dull and depressed.
Hillary cleverly took off her iron lady mask and played the role of a good wife here. She brewed coffee, cut fruits, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and generous.
"Okay, dear friends, just say what you have to say!" Yi Feiyang found it funny that these politicians like to play this kind of game.
Clinton glanced at his wife and said, "My dear, why don't you do the talking?"
One sentence makes it clear who is actually in charge in this family.
You're welcome, Hillary. After working hard for a long time, it's time to take a rest.
After Hillary sat down, she said to Yi Feiyang: "I heard that President Bush came to see you not long ago."
"Yes, we had a dinner together, just like tonight." Yi Feiyang shrugged. There was nothing to hide. Besides, George W. Bush invited with great fanfare last time, for fear that others would not know his relationship with him.
.
"Oh, then I want to know, did he say anything to you?" Hillary asked with a smile.
"I didn't say anything, I just hope that I can join their camp!" Yi Feiyang said in an understatement, but Hillary and others looked at each other and said to themselves, it is indeed true.
"So Yi, how did you answer?"
"Me? I just said that I need to go back and think about it. You know, the Republican Party in the United States is very strong now, isn't it?" Yi Feiyang said with a half-smile.
"Yes, your answer is correct. How could you agree to the proposal of the Republican Party so rashly? Those guys are very cunning and know how to take advantage of people!" Hillary enthusiastically poured coffee for Yi Feiyang.
"Having said that, our Democratic Party also needs your help now, especially now that the Bush camp is stuck in the quagmire of Iraq. This is a good opportunity. We have a great hope of winning the next presidential election!"
Want to stop George W. Bush from being re-elected?
Yi Feiyang made a difference. In his impression, George W. Bush had been on the presidential throne for a long time. Now it would be very difficult for the Democratic Party to rely on public opinion to overthrow it.
But do I really want to join the democratic camp?
Yi Feiyang touched his chin, "I said it before. I'm just a filmmaker and don't really like politics. Especially partisanship like this, I don't think it has much to do with me!"
"Maybe it used to be," Hillary said, "but the situation is different now. If you are just an insignificant figure in Hollywood, no one will win you over to join any camp. But unfortunately, you are no longer a simple person.
You are a filmmaker or a small director. Every move you make attracts attention. Your wealth, your strength, and your influence in the film industry and even the media have far exceeded that of ordinary entertainment stars."
"Yi, you have to face reality, don't you? In the past, you could easily stay away from everything. Stay away from this political struggle that you thought was ridiculous, but now you are already in it, no matter how much you don't want to, you can't.
If you don’t admit it, you have to make a choice. Only in this way can you protect everything about you, your career, and the movies you love!” Hillary’s words were sonorous and powerful, making people feel her sincerity.
In fact, what she said is also true. It is impossible for Yi Feiyang to stay away from that damn politics. Who makes his influence so great?
"Then what should I do?" Yi Feiyang asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Don't ask me. Ask yourself. If you don't want your dream entertainment to be swallowed up by MGM and others, don't want the results of your own efforts to be in vain, don't want to succumb to others and be driven by others, then you must stand with us.
Together! To be precise, we also need your help!" Hillary completely extended her olive branch.
Yi Feiyang stood up, thought for a moment, then turned back and smiled at Hillary and others, "I don't like politics! But, this time I want to play with you!"
Hillary smiled.
Clinton and Obama also laughed.
…
Two Hollywood super blockbusters, "Avatar" and "Urban", have officially confirmed their release dates. Perhaps in order to better determine the winner, they both chose January 1, 2005 for their world premiere.
Now, with two months left, all they have to do is promote their blockbuster.
In the past, when a Hollywood movie was released, posters would be put up, trailers would be inserted, and exciting news about the movie would be published in newspapers and magazines.
But things are different now. As competitors, Fantasy Entertainment and MGM have immediately begun to seize online media.
It is undeniable that with the advent of the Internet era and the development of online media, the entire online world has replaced traditional newspapers and magazines and become the first platform for the public to receive information!
Therefore, these days, various websites in the United States, large and small, are filled with smoke and war, and they are all cheering for their own super blockbusters.
On the MGM side, gambling king Kirkorian teamed up with great director James Cameroon to spend huge sums of money to publish news about the upcoming release of "Avatar" on many websites represented by Yahoo. The headline is: Eight years of sharpening a sword, big success
Director Cameron's latest masterpiece will be available soon, and the world is looking forward to it!
Of course, under this headline, more content is detailed reports on the drama "Avatar".
The most important ones focus on two aspects:
First of all, let’s focus on the big money and big hit: Hollywood heavyweight director James Cameron, who once set a stunning box office record with "Titanic", spent eight years of planning, spent US$500 million, and took two years to film.
The science fiction masterpiece "Avatar" was released in early 2005.
James Cameron set a historical record of winning 11 Oscars (including Best Picture) with "Titanic" in 1997, and all audio-visual products took over 3.5 billion US dollars worldwide. And every one of his previous works,
It has always shaken up the industry with its pioneering spirit, from "Terminator", "Alien 2", "True Lies", "Terminator 2" to the unprecedented 11 Oscars for "Titanic", all with its refreshing creations
Topics of high interest.
"Avatar" is about to be released, and movie fans and people in the film industry around the world are extremely enthusiastic and concerned about the film. At the European Annual Film Festival held in Amsterdam at the end of June 2004, a 24-minute clip of "Avatar" was unveiled and won a full response.
There was a round of applause, and the attendees stood up unanimously and excitedly applauded the movie, praising Cameron for leading everyone into a brand new world and presenting it in a stunning 3D way.
It can be said that "Avatar" is definitely the most important movie in Hollywood in 2005. It is unprecedented in terms of technology and investment.
Secondly, there is an emphasis on film technology and Cameron-style special effects production: After James Cameron directed the masterpiece "Titanic", he believed that using advanced film industry technology and special effects can make an already exciting plot more fascinating.
But special effects alone cannot make a good movie.
The great director Cameron spent 5 years carefully conceiving, investing 200 million US dollars, using personally developed 3D virtual image capture photography technology, and took 2 years to shoot "Avatar". Oscar gold medal producer Jon Landau
And gold medal soundtrack master James Horner also joined hands with James Cameron again after "Titanic".
After two years of filming and creation, "Avatar" has brought the audience a brand new movie-watching experience. This is a film that uses innovative technology to create, pays attention to the emotions between characters, and highlights the storyline. It can be said that it is highly anticipated.
The above two major sections have directly pushed "Avatar" into the ranks of unprecedented super blockbusters. It is simply touted as unprecedented and unrivaled.
Facts have proved that the public's ears are soft, not to mention that Cameron himself is a representative of big productions, so it is not surprising that "Avatar" has been hyped as a miracle film.
But surprisingly, a group of politicians including George W. Bush also helped and cheered for the show.
