Lu Fang called Chen Mubai and asked him about his current situation in the United States.
"It went very smoothly, the filming has started, and the filming process is going very smoothly."
When Lu Fang heard what Chen Mubai said, he felt relieved and said: "Operation Red Sea" was released, and the box office finally reached 3.5 billion."
"It's a pity that there are too many strong enemies in this period, otherwise the box office could be higher."
Lu Fang's voice was a little regretful, and then he continued: "However, your works won the top three during the National Day period. "Infernal Affairs 2" received 2.1 billion at the box office, and "Charlotte" received 1.7 billion.
.”
"Judging from your works, your three works have become huge hits. Your reputation is extremely popular in China now. It's a pity that you are not in the country and can't see it. People on the Internet are still praising your talent."
Chen Mubai smiled: "Isn't this normal? Isn't it normal for me to be praised?"
"..."
Lu Fang suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore, he was showing off.
"By the way, what do you think about the movie being released abroad?" Lu Fang asked.
"First take the two parts of "Operation Red Sea" and "Infernal Affairs" as well as "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" to see the effect." When it came to business, Chen Mubai stopped joking.
"There are many foreign animation movies, some of which are very popular. We can also try to export our animation movies. The special effects of this movie are not bad, but there are cultural differences. Maybe they will be interested. There are many people who are interested in Chinese culture.
, especially Kung Fu."
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "Yes, foreigners think that we Chinese people go to school and have a kung fu dream. Maybe Nezha can really become popular."
"Then let's tentatively schedule the release of these movies and give them a try. If the movie's response is good, it can be fed back to "Prison Break", which is a good thing."
If foreigners like to watch these movies, they know that they are works by Chen Mubai, and they will most likely watch the new drama "Prison Break" directed by Chen Mubai in a few months, which can be regarded as a disguised way to increase the ratings of this drama.
.
"You should go to bed early. I'll contact you if I have anything to do. I won't disturb you anymore. You have to do shooting work tomorrow." After Lu Fang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
There is a time difference of more than ten hours between the United States and China. When he called Chen Mubai, it was late at night in the United States and Chen Mubai needed to rest.
...
Because this drama updates one episode every week, after filming a lot of content, we first edit the relevant content of the first episode and broadcast it while filming.
The crew probably knew what they were going to say in the first episode. It was probably that the protagonist went to jail and explained the reason why he went to jail and why he robbed the bank. It was because his brother was in this prison and he came here.
It's to help my brother escape from prison!
This is also the origin of the title of "Prison Break". From the beginning, the protagonist only wanted to save his brother, so he gave up all opportunities to defend himself and did not tell his girlfriend why he was going to jail.
He was fully prepared to help his brother escape from here, but it was very difficult because this was a first-level security prison with tight security. The protagonist entered the prison to better understand everything here and proceed slowly.
prison Break.
At the beginning, the characters who appeared in the newspaper posted on the glass all appeared in the prison. The male protagonist made a detailed and careful plan to successfully enter the prison through robbery!
While Chen Mubai was filming, theaters here in the United States began to launch the two parts of "Infernal Affairs", "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" and "Operation Red Sea" and "Buried Alive".
In addition to the rest of the movies currently being released in the United States, but because they are owned by our own theater chain, apart from the newly released movies, these four movies have received the most publicity, and the posters in the theaters are all in the best places.
Micro Entertainment and Dow Group began to speak out in media channels to promote these movies.
[Movies directed by Oscar winner Chen Mubai] [Movies by Venice Best Actor]...
Mostly this kind of title can arouse the curiosity and attention of netizens, so everyone may read it.
Of course, there is also his identity as a singer, the founder of Moonwalk, and the singer of xxx's popular songs. Anyway, the names are all attached to ensure that the majority of the American people can know Chen Mubai as much as possible.
Some people may like watching movies, so they will know about Chen Mubai's achievements in film and television, while people who like songs may not know him or follow him, but they may pay attention to popular songs and dances.
Such large-scale publicity, as much publicity as possible in all the fields where Chen Mubai is famous, can let people know Chen Mubai and his works to the maximum extent.
A huge amount of money was spent on publicity, but the effect was pretty good.
When the movie was first released, a lot of people came to watch it. Most of them were Chinese. Many people studied and lived abroad. If they wanted to watch domestic works, there was a delay. They had to buy the relevant film and television copyrights from a platform before they could be put on the shelves.
.
And it happens that many websites will not buy these copyrights, so they cannot view the works, or the copyrighted works need to be extended for about three months...
This prevents many people in the United States from seeing Hua Xia's works. When Chen Mubai established an international website, all Hua Xia's works were put on the shelves. These Chinese were still very happy, at least they could see these as quickly as possible.
Works.
The first batch of loyal users of the website are overseas Chinese users. They like to watch Chinese film and television works. Although they live in the United States, their cultural heritage is still consistent with China. Some people grew up in China and just came to the United States to go to school.
That’s all.
In particular, Chinese ghost movies are completely different from European and American ones. Chinese ghost movies have more feelings for them, while European and American ghost movies can only be regarded as superficial, and rarely have the kind of feeling that makes people feel hairy inside.
In this regard, Southeast Asian horror films have completely surpassed European and American horror films. This is also caused by cultural differences. Ghosts in Europe and the United States are more like demons, which are very different from simple ghosts.

"Hey, angle, do you want to go see a movie?" A white American quietly asked his classmate during class.
His deskmate is a Chinese international student. He likes this girl very much. He likes girls who are weak in appearance but strong in heart.
This kind of girls generally have the qualities of Chinese people. European and American girls are too violent for him, and he can't beat some of them...
"No." The girl named angle shook her head and refused.
Going to college here in the United States is relatively free. Students are relatively relaxed in class. Teachers now let students study by themselves. Everyone is doing what they want to do.
At this time, angle took out his mobile phone and was about to browse the news to see if there was anything interesting.
Suddenly, she came across the news about "Chen Mubai's movie coming to American Cinemas". She liked Chen Mubai very much, so she clicked in to take a look.
"Several movies are available on Mubai Cinema, Solomon, AMC..."
"Among them, "Operation Red Sea" has just been released in China, with a box office of 3.6 billion, which is equivalent to about 560 million US dollars!"
Angle saw the news. Several theaters in the United States had released Chen Mubai's movie. There happened to be an AMC theater near their school, and she became interested in going to see it.
She opened the ticket purchasing software on her mobile phone to see when the show would be available.
"One at 2 p.m., one at 5 p.m., then 7 p.m., every two hours?"
She murmured to herself: "'Operation Red Sea' didn't have as many screenings as 'Infernal Affairs', but wasn't this movie just released?"
She has watched "Infernal Affairs 1" and likes this movie very much. She likes the two leading actors very much. She thinks this movie is really excellent, so she will definitely watch "Infernal Affairs 2", but "Operation Red Sea" is another
It was a new movie and the box office was quite high, so she was a little confused.
It's just that she doesn't understand why there is a gap between the number of screenings of a newly released movie and a movie that has been released for a year. You must know that the disc of "Infernal Affairs" has sold a lot in the United States, and many people have passed it.
Watched the dvd.
The film schedule of "Infernal Affairs 2" is indeed good, but it is only compared to the film schedule of ordinary American movies, and is not particularly high.
Angle didn't know the reason, but she hesitated and decided to watch "Operation Red Sea" first. This movie is mainly directed and starred by Chen Mubai. In "Infernal Affairs 2", Chen Mubai is not here, so she will watch it later.
"Hey, you are looking at the ticket purchase website, do you want to go with me!?"
Angle's deskmate scanned the screen of Angle's mobile phone and said in surprise that he thought Angle would like to go to the movies with him.
Angle turned to look at the white boy in front of him and said, "Mitchell, I do want to go to the movies, but not with you."
Mitchell "..."
"Why can't you go see it with me?" Mitchell didn't understand. He was quite handsome, so there was no reason for him to be disliked!
Angle smiled and said: "I don't really want to fall in love right now, so you can find someone else."
"I didn't say falling in love..."
Mitchell thought about making friends first. If the firepower is too fierce, the girls might be scared away, and Chinese girls are more reserved!
"I just want to be friends with you. Isn't it normal for friends to watch a movie together?"
"Uh..." Angle said helplessly, "Okay, I'll ask my roommate if I want to go watch it together."
They were classmates, and she didn't want their relationship to get too tense. Anyway, bringing a roommate would also put an end to rumors and prove that they were not a couple.
"No problem!" Mitchell was very happy. It was a good thing to be able to make an appointment. It was a step-by-step process.
"You ask now and I'll book the tickets!"
Angle started sending text messages to ask about her roommates. She had three roommates in total, but two of them were not interested in Chinese movies, and only one was interested.
"There are two of us. Book two tickets for us and I will give you the money later." After Angle finished asking, he said to Mitchell.
Mitchell waved his hand and said, "No, I'll invite the two ladies to watch a movie. That's right."
After class, Mitchell immediately ran to the cinema and booked three movie tickets for "Operation Red Sea."
Well, he personally has no interest in Chinese movies. Mainly because Angle wanted to watch them, so he watched them with her. For him, it didn't matter what movie he watched, what mattered was that the other person was interested.
While waiting in the cinema, he bought popcorn for drinks, and angle came with his roommate.
"Hi, Mitchell!" Angle's roommates Millie and Mitchell greeted with a smile.
They are all classmates in the same class, so they naturally know each other.
"Do you want to chase Angle?" Milly said with a big grin. This kind of thing is very common in the United States. People are used to being straightforward instead of being subtle.
"Oh, no..." Mitchell quickly denied: "We are just interested in movies, let's watch them together."
