Chapter 68 The World Propaganda of 'Batman 2' (Part 2)
The movie "Parasite" is a painstaking work by Kim Sung-kye and carries the lifelong hope of director Kim Sung-kye.
Although it is a science fiction literary film, the investment is not small. A total of nearly 100 million US dollars was spent on it, and it took a year and a half to carefully craft it to compete for the Oscar for Best Picture.
Kim Sung-kye and his company Pictures attach great importance to this movie. Even before "Parasite" was officially completed, various movies began to appear one after another in large and small squares in South Korea, around subway stations, major media variety shows, etc.
There are so many posters and advertisements about "Parasite", and even in "Parasite"
Before the upcoming movie, the film industry used its connections to free up half of the Seoul Central Stadium for the advertising department of the "Parasite" crew to carry out activities. Major international theater companies even promised that if "Parasite" performs well at the initial box office,
If it's not bad, I will definitely consider giving them a bigger backdoor...
These are simply incredible treatments for a movie.
All kinds of publicity naturally involve the appearance of the protagonist Li Minghao. The protagonist Li Minghao's promotion of Lu Yuan's popularity is actually part of the publicity plan. Although this kind of remarks makes Chinese netizens quite disgusted, but...
When the advertising and publicity department of the production team saw that "Parasite" had hit the screens of major Chinese media, they opened several bottles of red wine to celebrate.
Enough gimmick.
In the early stage, they used gimmicks to attract movie fans into theaters to watch the movie, and the box office exploded at the premiere...
After the premiere box office exploded, wouldn’t the agreement with major theater chains have been directly successful? The rehearsal rate has increased, coupled with the quality of the movie and the subsequent hype gimmicks, will there be a wave of phenomenal movies?
Um……
Do you think Lu Yuan will respond or directly play offline?
It would be even better if Lu Yuan could respond. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
Isn’t the heat even more explosive?
In short, the company is fully prepared to meet various possibilities.
but……
"The first stop for world promotion of the movie "Batman 2" will be in South Korea! The location will be at the Seoul Central Stadium..."
"Well, please look forward to November 10th!"
"..."
After seeing Fatty Wei smiling in front of the media, the person in charge of the company's "Parasite" fainted.
After all their calculations, they never thought that the movie "Batman 2" would suddenly appear.
What I didn't expect was that Yuan Yuan, which had not done much promotional activities before, suddenly launched a wave of abnormal promotional activities that made people dumbfounded.
and……
What's going on?
Seoul Central Stadium?
Isn’t this the place of our “Parasite”?
What does it mean?
besides!
November 10th, isn’t this the promotion time for “Parasite”?
etc!
Didn’t the person in charge of the Seoul Central Stadium say that only half of the space can be rented no matter what, and the other half must be empty?
how……
Suddenly sold to "remote" again?
"What does this mean? Are those people sick? How could they deceive us like this!"
"Oh my god, these people..."
"..."
In the mk company, director Kim Sung-kai was so angry that his face turned green.
Isn't this deliberately disgusting?
…………………………
"There are very few promising young people like Mr. Jin who are very dedicated to movies. Thank you very much, Mr. Jin, for supporting "Batman 2"..."
"Haha, no, no, this is not support. In fact, I have always been a fan of Mr. Lu Yuan. I am satisfied knowing that Mr. Lu Yuan is doing well recently."
"Hahaha, Mr. Jin, I will convey your concern to Mr. Lu Yuan."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei. Here, I wish "Batman 2" a successful start in advance! Cheers!"
"Haha, cheers!"
"..."
No one knew that in a corner of Seoul, Fatty Wei was chatting and laughing with a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
While drinking and drinking, a touch of friendship was added to the atmosphere.
It’s a bit late to meet!
The two translators also saw the friendship between the two parties and laughed even deeper.
This young man wearing glasses is named Kim Dae Jong, and he is a very powerful second generation Kwon in South Korea.
After he got the news that the first stop of "Batman 2" was going to be in South Korea, he took the initiative to contact Fatty Wei through his connections without saying anything.
Then……
The other half of the stadium is for "Batman 2".
When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little...
Jin Dazhong and Fatty Wei got more and more drunk, and the conversation got deeper and deeper.
He said that he had no idea about the rights of his fathers and he did not want to be shrouded in their shadow.
He wanted to create something of his own.
They talked about dreams and movies, and then unconsciously revealed the idea of making a movie together.
"Mr. Jin, were you once a director major?"
"Yeah, haha, I also made a few movies and the results were good. Of course, what I need is a good script..." Jin Dazhong looked at Fatty Wei subconsciously, and his heart started to feel a little hot.
"Haha, a good script is indeed very important. By the way, Mr. Jin, "Remote" does not have a branch in South Korea yet. If possible, I can apply with Mr. Lu Yuan to see if there is room for cooperation between us. If so,
Well, the market in South Korea is not small..." Fatty Wei said this subconsciously.
"Ah? Is that okay?" Jin Dazhong's eyes lit up, and then his eyes began to become a little fiery.
"I want to talk to Mr. Lu Yuan. Is it okay if I don't guarantee..."
"Okay! Mr. Wei, I am really eager to cooperate with "Remote"!"
Under the light, when he heard the interpreter speak out what Fatty Wei said, Jin Dazhong felt like he was suffocating.
He was so excited that his heart was trembling.
He is not a fool!
Naturally, I know that if Lu Yuan has ideas about South Korea, it will definitely be a huge opportunity.
future……
wrong!
It's now!
Now, he feels that "remote" in the entire entertainment industry has begun to become unstoppable like a giant beast!
If you can get on this big ship, what can't you accomplish?
"Haha, okay, I'll make a call first!"
"Well, please, Mr. Wei..."
"Okay, by the way, Mr. Jin, I need a quiet place..."
"there……"
"good."
Fatty Wei stood up, as if he was drunk, and staggered towards another box under Jin Dazhong's gaze.
Fatty Wei, who seemed a little dazed at first, suddenly regained his clarity when he walked to another box.
He took out his cell phone.
"Ayuan...I have an idea..."
"..."
"Yes, what I think is..."
"..."
Fatty Wei told Lu Yuan about the situation in Korea and various things that happened.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan suddenly called out the name of a movie.
Then……
Fatty Wei's eyes lit up.
About half an hour later, Fatty Wei hung up the phone, and his clear eyes continued to become confused.
Then he staggered back to his seat.
"Mr. Jin..."
"ah?"
"Mr. Lu Yuan is very cautious..."
"Then, what he means is..."
"Mr. Lu Yuan hopes to see your ability. The few movies you made before are not enough to represent anything..."
"Then..." Jin Dazhong's heart suddenly became cold.
"but……"
"What?"
"The one being promoted on the same stage as "Batman 2" is a literary science fiction film "Parasite," right?"
"Yes!"
"Well, Mr. Lu Yuan verbally gave me the outline of a movie script called "Parasite"..."
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean..." Jin Dazhong's heart trembled.
"I will make the script of this movie tomorrow. At the same time, you and I will co-produce this movie... It is early November, and next year's Oscars will be in April. If you jump in the queue, you should have enough time."
..." Fatty Wei laughed after he finished speaking, "Mr. Jin, are you interested in Oscar?"
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean we..."
"No...this is what Mr. Lu Yuan meant..." Fatty Wei paused after he finished speaking. "If our cooperation can be happy and successful this time, then there will be no problem with the "remote" Korean branch..."
"good!"
The night gradually began to become hazy.
In a dark and deserted small bar.
Jin Dazhong's mood was like a roller coaster, falling from a high place and then rushing into the sky again...
This night...
He knew that his fate would most likely be rewritten.
………………………………
The morning of November 10th.
The entire Seoul Central Stadium was already overcrowded early, and the cars outside were even more crowded. The traffic was once paralyzed, and several helicopters even appeared hovering over the Central Stadium...
All well-known Korean media are already eagerly awaiting the arrival of today's protagonist!
Kim Sung-kai, the director of "Parasite", took a deep breath after seeing this scene...
It seems that the company has completely spent money on this "Parasite"!
Have the helicopters been invited?
"We must not lose to "Batman 2"!"
He shook his fist.
but……
When he saw the helicopter overhead dropping a huge poster banner of "Batman 2"...
His expression began to change.
Immediately half an hour later, when Fatty Wei Pidianpidian led the "Batman 2" crew into the scene, and announced under the spotlight that a limited number of 100 "Batman 2" Lu Yuan's exclusive autographs would be sent out from time to time at the event.
Beautiful poster later...
He began to realize that their "Parasite" today was just a supporting role!
Another half hour passed...
Although there were a lot of people at the "Parasite" promotion scene, including a lot of reporters, there was a lifeless feeling from beginning to end. Even during the passionate part of asking questions, the voices of these reporters asking questions
They were all helpless and even looked at the other side from time to time, showing a completely unprofessional attitude.
And on the opposite side!
Waves of applause, waves of crazy screaming, the sound has completely surrounded "Parasite"!
Even when the crew of "Batman 2" released a message from Lu Yuan, "Thank you to my friends in Korea, my friends in Korea!"
After the video, many "Parasite" event audience members ran away, and there were many empty seats at the "Parasite" venue...
Lu Yuan, who had been silent for such a long time, suddenly posted such a video...
Can everyone not be excited?
Big news!
Most of the reporters were gone!
The leading actor Li Minghao on the stage looked at the empty seat below and felt extremely embarrassed...
You thought it was over here?
No!
"After "Batman 2" is released, we will shoot a "Parasite". Yes, you are right, it is "Parasite" not "Parasite"! This is... Lu Yuan's script!"
When director Kim Sung-kai heard these words...
My lungs are exploded!
The person in charge of the company was also furious!
What does this mean?
What do you mean by this?
I am promoting "Parasite" here, do you want to play "Parasite"?
