What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 479 'Pirates of the Caribbean' full blue star announcement is in progress
Chapter 479 'Pirates of the Caribbean' full blue star announcement is in progress
Wesker knew that at this point, he could only agree to his eldest son Kaiden no matter what.
Even if he guessed that the publicity fee applied for by the other party was probably in vain, he still had no choice but to agree.
The only thing that can comfort me is that more money has been spent, so there is no need to care about this sum.
...
"Master, actually I think this is not a bad thing."
The assistant who has been with Wesker for decades began to say.
Seeing Wesker's somewhat confused look.
He said calmly: "After all, if it weren't for this opportunity, we wouldn't have been able to discover Master Martin's talent."
These words actually spoke to Wesker's heart.
Both Paiqi's and Tongji's films are high-investment projects.
But his two sons are each responsible for one, but their performance is very different.
Although the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project was not Paige's, Martin still used some of Paige's connections and manpower.
Under this circumstance, Wesker still has some understanding of the various progress and details of the movie.
It is obviously also the first time for Martin to be responsible for such a large project.
When I first started, I looked like I had no experience.
But he adapted extremely quickly and always took responsibility for the entire project in his own hands.
From the film project approval to the final submission, there were almost no major problems.
Even the recent publicity work has shown amazing methods.
"Alas, it seems that my judgments for many years before were actually wrong."
Wesker couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for Caiden's comparison, Wesker might not have paid much attention to his youngest son's abilities.
But now, in his opinion, Martin is the most suitable successor to Paige Pictures.
...
"Tell my father that I have a lot of things going on recently and don't have time to go back and see him."
Martin said calmly.
In fact, what he said was half true and half false.
It is true that there is no time to go back and see Wesker.
But there are also reasons why he doesn't want to go back at all.
After all, he had worked so hard to make the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" a success.
The biggest reason is that I hope to get rid of Paige's influence on me.
Even in the entire film project, some of Paige's resources and manpower were indeed used.
But Martin has also noticed this and is deliberately cultivating his own team.
By the time the next movie is released, Tongji Entertainment will be able to completely get rid of the help of Paiqi's details.
Complete the entire film project completely independently.
...
"By the way, Mr. Martin, there has been a lot of gossip about you recently."
The assistant hesitated for a while and then spoke.
Martin nodded.
"I already know, don't worry."
"Just follow our previous plan."
In fact, those so-called gossips are nothing more than about Martin and his brother Caiden.
Even now, many people still believe that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project is owned by Paige.
And the reason why Paige will be in two big-budget movies in succession this time is in the same schedule.
The main reason is that through these two movies, the future heir of Paige is selected from Wesker's two sons.
This also caused a lot of fuss over the two big-budget blockbusters before they were even released.
In fact, Martin himself didn't care at all about these remarks.
He doesn't think the movie Kaiden is in charge of can compare to "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the box office.
Also, Martin had no intention of getting Paige's inheritance.
He joined Tongji and started to take charge of "Saw" with a small investment. He overcame so many difficulties and got rid of all the bad habits in order to prove his ability.
As a result, he was later asked to return to Paiqi, making everyone think that his previous success was all due to the help of his father, the chairman of Paiqi.
Then the things he did before were completely meaningless, weren't they?
So although Martin is also unhappy with his brother Kaiden.
He doesn't like the way the other person is arrogant in front of him.
But he really never thought about competing with the other party for Paige's inheritance rights.
Rather than pick up the industry that his father Wesker worked hard for, Martin would rather create a new ninth-largest film and television company in the United States with his own hands.
And in Martin's opinion, no one else can understand him.
They don't understand his choice, and most of them still think that he is just a playboy with little ability.
The only close friend is his current boss Xu Ji.
Only Tongji Entertainment would support him like this.
He was given direct responsibility for a $150 million project without any worries at all.
Even if he hadn't taken the initiative to report it, the boss Xu Ji wouldn't have even asked (actually Xu Ji didn't have time and forgot).
This kind of treatment was something Martin had never experienced before in his more than 20 years of life.
There is an old saying in China, "Knowing the right time is not the right time. A scholar will die for his confidant."
At this time, Martin was completely ready to shed his blood for Tongji Entertainment.
...
The announcement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is actually not just in the United States.
Because this time the entire movie was released simultaneously in many countries throughout Blue Star.
That’s why the scale of the announcement is so large.
China is no exception. The announcement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was actually carried out almost at the same time as that in the United States.
Of course, since this is the base camp, the headquarters here in Tongji will naturally be responsible for the work of publicity and distribution.
Youman still chose to announce in a similar way to before.
To sum it up, I will first use Tongji’s official Weibo to release trailers, posters, and announce the release date.
Then let a group of artists under Tongji help repost and promote it.
The others are gone.
Of course, other film and television companies may view this as a cheap and even stingy publicity method.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For Tongji Entertainment’s movies, it is really enough.
After all, the total number of fans of Tongji Entertainment’s artists alone is already a very exaggerated number.
What's more, the news of Tongji Entertainment's new movie is already topical.
Not to mention that this is another Tongji movie entering the international market, so the number of netizens participating in the discussion was naturally very large.
...
"Tongji is really preparing to enter the international market. My classmates in the United States said that many of them know about the movie's promotion."
"He spent a lot of money. He actually invested more than 150 million US dollars. Tongji is really willing to spend money."
"I see that the actors and director are both American. Is this really Tongji's movie? Or is it just a publicity stunt?"
"No need to guess for those upstairs, it has been exposed a long time ago. The entire movie was invested by Tongji Branch, and the script of the movie was also written by Xu Ji. The logo at the beginning of the film is also the familiar Tongji title."
"Damn it, it feels like the special effects and plot of this movie are very high-end. Tongji has great ambitions for the global market!"
Netizens were discussing it enthusiastically.
Tongji's movies have attracted a lot of attention.
In addition, this movie was released simultaneously in so many countries throughout Blue Star, which can be regarded as a standard international blockbuster configuration.
Some domestic film and television companies, including the three major entertainment companies, have actually tried movies like this before.
But it is more of a gimmick. In fact, the entire Blue Star movie is released, but the main source of box office is still the Chinese market.
Of course, there are also quite a few so-called movies co-produced by China and the United States.
It's just that the film's quality, reputation, and box office performance were very mediocre, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it was badly criticized.
So Tongji Entertainment has set a precedent this time.
At least it is a route that some Chinese film and television companies have not tried before.
As for whether it will be successful, although Tongji's previous films "Coco" and "Saw" have achieved good overseas box office results.
But there are still many people who are not optimistic about this "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.
The main reason is because the investment is so large, it is almost a domestic film worth over one billion.
If you want to really recover costs or achieve profitability, it is obviously very difficult to rely on China's domestic market alone.
The only thing we can hope for is that the United States and other box office markets can contribute a good profit.
...
"Xu Ji really made a big splash by keeping quiet."
"Although I had guessed that his ambition was very big, I just didn't expect it to be so big."
"With an investment of more than 1 billion, and he is not in charge of directing it, he has such a big heart."
Phoenix Entertainment, Li Bokai couldn't help but sigh after seeing the news.
In fact, it was not a big secret that Xu Ji planned to let Tongji Entertainment enter the international market.
Although it is definitely not a petty fight, it is not in line with Xu Ji's style.
But when he really knew that Xu Ji had invested so much, Li Bokai was still shocked.
"Director Li, what do we need to do to deal with it?"
The department manager asked.
Li Bokai smiled and shook his head.
"What preparation?"
"Our company has no new movies to release, so there is no need to pay attention."
"Just watch the show with peace of mind."
"And only Tongji Entertainment can make such a risky decision."
"Neither we nor other companies can imitate it."
Li Bokai still knows the actual situation very well.
Phoenix Entertainment has not tried to enter the international market.
I have actually opened a branch to work alone, or cooperated with some foreign film and television companies.
But without exception, they basically failed.
And most of them suffer serious losses.
Over time, most Chinese companies, including Phoenix Entertainment, no longer take advantage of them.
All the focus is still on the domestic market.
After all, they still have to be more skillful in making money from domestic audiences.
Overseas, it became a new company with absolutely no experience or accumulation.
Although I know the benefits are huge, the risk is too high, so there is no need to bravely try it.
You will learn a lesson if you try and make mistakes a few times and lose some money.
...
The promotion campaign of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in China is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, it has little to do with Tongji himself.
Because after completing the initial publicity work, Youman focused the remaining energy on the company building project.
In fact, Youman is still very concerned about this movie. After all, it is the movie that Tongji Entertainment has invested the most in so far.
But Youman was worried about the movie's poor box office performance, but he was not worried about the lack of adequate publicity and distribution.
After all, she knew very well that with the popularity of Tongji Entertainment, and the film being released simultaneously in the United States, it was considered Tongji's entry into the overseas market.
The degree of discussion on the Internet cannot be low.
Even if they don't take the initiative to increase publicity, some relevant media and marketing accounts that are gaining popularity will voluntarily help promote it.
There is no need to put any more effort into publicity.
Youman also knows that going too far is never good enough.
On the surface, it seemed that Youman didn't care much about it, but in fact, everything developed was not much different from what she expected.
...
Here in the United States, although the movie hasn't been released yet, Cali Bueller has already received too much attention to count.
Of course, most of these voices are actually not very friendly.
After Kali Bueller's contract with Lina Pictures of Bada Pictures expired, he was invited by Martin Jiehu to join Tongji Entertainment.
Although it is a big-budget movie when it comes in.
But during this period, all other aspects of Cali Bueller's business basically stopped.
Without the resource support of the eight major film studios, the treatment of Culley Bueller, an American first-line actor, is actually worse than that of some small companies.
After all, the current Tongji Entertainment does not have a foothold in the United States.
He also doesn’t have his own resources and connections.
Like Martin, he does know a lot of people, but they are only willing to make friends with him because of his status as the son of Chairman Paige.
When he broke away from this identity, he became the head of the unknown Tongji Entertainment branch.
Naturally, he couldn't give Cali Bueller any help.
Fortunately, there is also this "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Cali Bueller, an A-list actor, did not rely on luck, he became who he is now step by step.
So he knew the potential of this "Pirates of the Caribbean" very soon after reading the script.
Even though he was not sure whether such a large investment could be realized at the time, he still chose to join Tongji Entertainment.
Become the actor who plays the male protagonist Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie.
Now, he basically bets his future career development on this movie.
If the final movie doesn't become a complete hit, it will all be hard work for Cali Bueller.
Of course, as the star of the movie and an audience member who has watched the original film, Kaley Bueller is full of confidence at this time.
Even though there are many people on the Internet who are badmouthing this movie, many people think that he made a wrong choice by leaving Lina Pictures.
Kaley Bueller still firmly believes that his decision was the right one.
If everything goes well, maybe with this movie, he will be able to successfully step into the ranks of America's top movie stars that he has always longed for.
