Chapter 421 Tour Promotion (Try to Three Chapters Today
The acquisition of TV stations by Tianwang Film and Television is still being carried out secretly. Although there are some gossipy rumors, it has not attracted much attention.
Time passes day by day...
Early November…
Mid-November…
Late November…
The winter holiday schedule of the North American film market is gradually approaching, and the North American film market is gradually warming up...
The Lunar New Year season of the Chinese film market has arrived early, and blockbusters are on rotation...
Movies in Europe, Asia... major film markets have gradually entered a hot period...
However, this year seems to be different from previous years...
The Chinese film market in November has begun to enter the Lunar New Year period. According to the experience of previous years, the film market will be extremely popular at this time, but this year it is surprisingly calm.
Although Southeast Film and Television's "Plane One", Huayi's "Wind Rescue" and some foreign films were vigorously promoted at this time, the market response was very dull, so dull that many filmmakers panicked.
In North America, the response from the film market is also quite unfavorable. Although film companies and theater chains have used various tricks, they seem to be unable to arouse a strong response from movie fans.
The three major blockbusters "The Expendables", "Heard of the Wind" and "Gods" moved their release dates forward to November in October to avoid "Avatar". However, when they were released one after another, they realized something was wrong.
, movie fans seem to be dismissive of these movies.
That’s right, just dismissive!
Among them, "Gods" is a gimmick with big special effects and 3D. Although I dare not say that it surpasses "Lord of the Rings 2" and "Transformers 2", there is no problem that the special effects can be comparable, but now it is completely
The whole world was dismissed by moviegoers.
The three movies were released one after another, and all achieved decent box office results in the first week of release. However, the box office subsequently declined at a rapid rate. The theaters were deserted, and fewer and fewer moviegoers came to watch.
Movie review websites such as imbd and Rotten Tomatoes also had very few reviewers. Although the score was not low and the film was okay, it was difficult to attract the attention of other movie fans. It was not popular at all.
This situation made the producers smile bitterly. They guessed the reason and quickly postponed the release date in other regions around the world where it had not been released until after "Avatar" was released.
Except for the three blockbusters "The Expendables", "Heard of the Wind", and "Gods", other more literary and artistic movies have received a better response than these action and special effects blockbusters. There are even two funny and artistic movies at the box office.
It surpasses these three action and special effects blockbusters.
This is true in China, North America, the European Union, and other parts of the world. The response to action and special effects movies has been mediocre, allowing those funny and literary films to gain the upper hand.
Many people guessed the reason and smiled bitterly.
"Avatar" is really harmful!
But in the hearts of movie fans, it has already faded away.
"It's all "Avatar"'s fault. I don't feel like watching the movie anymore."
"This month has been really boring. I went to the cinema to watch it and I was defeated immediately.."
"'Avatar' won't be released until 23 days, it's so stupid!!"
"Let's wait a little longer..."
“I wonder how much an imax movie ticket costs?”
"2D is 8 US dollars, 3D is 15 US dollars, I guess it is 20-25 US dollars for imax? But no matter the price, I will go and see it."
Most movie fans around the world lamented when the release of "Avatar" was approaching. They were all looking forward to the release of "Avatar" and watched the iamx trailers, such as "Suicide Squad", "Hearer", "Gods" and so on.
It all looks like clear soup with little water and tasteless.
——————————
In December, Tianwang Film and Television finally started to take action. First, it released the fourth trailer on the official website. This trailer finally stopped being secretive and finally included a war scene.
While the trailer is narrating, it also intersperses a lot of war scenes, as well as scenes of the Na'vi people making sacrifices under a very beautiful tree. It once again stirred up the hearts of movie fans.
The storm is surging, and tens of millions of movie fans around the world have begun to gather on the Internet!! The international film online forum has become popular again!!
"The fourth trailer of "Avatar" is finally out!! The fiery battle!! I was so happy that I climaxed!! I was so happy!!"
"What would it be like if these battle scenes appeared on the imax screen? Thinking about it makes me extremely excited!!"
"The battle between winged beasts and airplanes, the battle between savagery and civilization, the battle between primitiveness and technology. Humans and Na'vi, who will win? I guess it should be the Earthlings, because the gap is too big."
"Is the tree in front of the sacrificial ceremony the soul tree? Is it the connection channel to Pandora's god Eva?"
"A major discovery! I seemed to see the figure of the protagonist Jack during the sacrificial ceremony!!"
"The figure that appears to be Jack appeared at the sacrificial ceremony. Is it a deep alien traitor? Or an earthly traitor? Let us wait and see!"
"I particularly hate how secretive the information about "Avatar" is. It makes me anxious and itchy!!"
“Agree upstairs!!”
In addition to the Internet, many entertainment media also made relevant reports on this trailer.
After the fourth trailer came out, Tianwang Film and Television Company immediately announced the IMAX movie ticket price, which is 20 US dollars / 15 euros / 150 yuan.
Then the main creative staff of "Avatar" began to tour the world for promotion, visiting Paris, Moscow, London, Rio, New York, Washington, Yanjing, Tokyo, Sydney, Manila... the most important cities in the world.
"On December 5, the "Avatar" team No. 1 entered Manila, and the crowds were empty. Nearly 20,000 fans came to the meeting to welcome them. Xie Tingfeng, who plays the protagonist Jack in the movie, appeared at the meeting in person and sang "Becoming-
"One-Of", which caused bursts of howls from fans." - "Philippine Film News"
"On December 6, the second team of "Avatar" came to Sydney. Tens of thousands of fans were enthusiastic and the scene was extremely hot. The villain Liu Tianwang and the scientist Robert Downey Jr. came to the scene in person and jointly performed the "Avatar" theme song "
"I-See-You", countless movie fans sang together!! Then hundreds of movie peripheral product gifts were distributed on the spot..." - "Australian News".
"December 9th..."
"December 11th..."
…
"On December 19, all the touring promotion team of "Avatar" gathered together and came to the star-studded Hollywood for the last meeting." - "Hollywood Reporter".
Although it was tiring and tiring for those who participated in the promotional tour to fly back and forth around the world, they were very happy because during this promotional tour, they were baptized by local media reports and their popularity increased significantly.
On the night of December 19th, all the promotions ended and everyone returned to the villa that they had rented. A group of people happily held a barbecue and beer dinner to celebrate the movie and themselves.
"Hey, I really want to go to the cinema on the 23rd." Robert Downey Jr. was lying on the ground with a beer without any scruples, looking up at the sky and thinking a little sadly, and next to him was Liu Tianwang. One year
After getting along half the time, the two of them can be considered good friends.
"Hey, if you go, you will definitely be overwhelmed by the fans." Liu Tianwang said with a smile. Robert Downey Jr. is now considered a first-line star in Hollywood. In Hollywood, many fans will definitely recognize him.
.
"That's why I'm so helpless. Maybe this is the helplessness of actors. They can't enjoy the passion of watching movies together like ordinary movie fans."
Liu Tianwang sat up and said with a wicked smile: "That's you. I can go and see it. As long as I put on a little makeup, no one will recognize me."
Robert Jr.: "..." Go ahead!! I didn't expect this!! Liu Dehua can indeed do it, because his popularity in North America is not as high as Robert Jr.'s.
"I have to go!! Otherwise it will be too unpleasant!!"
"I am coming too!!"
"To be honest, you can miss 3D, but you can't miss iamx!!"
"I also want to experience imax!!"
After the topic of the two people spread, other actors also made a fuss about going to the cinema to watch it.
"Everyone, please stop making noise. I'm asking you, can you get the tickets?" The oldest actor, Stephen Lang, who plays the general, said something, and the scene fell into silence.
That’s right, I don’t even have any tickets, so it’s a waste of time.
"We have to find a way."
"I think we can go to the boss, he is the boss of iamx cinema!"
