Lu Fang found Chen Mubai, fearing that he would be upset by the public opinion on the Internet.
Since Chen Mubai opened up overseas markets, the two of them have spent very little time together, and most of the time they communicate by phone. Last year, they didn't even come back to get together during the Spring Festival.
As the company grows bigger and bigger, both parties become busier and busier with work. It is inevitable that the number of meetings will be reduced, and the communication will be much less. Even if they are, they will only talk about work.
Coupled with the time difference, the work and rest times of both parties are different, and it is not advisable to talk for too long, so Lu Fang does not know Chen Mubai's true thoughts.
However, he knew that Chen Mubai valued every work. Anyone who cherished his own work would not be in a good mood just knowing the ending. No one wanted to have their hard work denied.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?" Chen Mubai was a little surprised that Lu Fang actually came to his house.
Mubai Entertainment is currently booming, "Resident Evil" is being released in theaters, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is also being aired, and Lu Fang has a lot on his plate.
It can be said that apart from the quality of the work itself, what is indispensable for the popularity of the work is the success of publicity. All these decisions are controlled by Lu Fang.
Mubai Entertainment can achieve its current scale because of Lu Fang's management, and he devotes all his energy to his work.
Even Shang Ran often teases him. She is not as important as her job in Lu Fang's heart.
Fortunately, Shang Ran can also understand Lu Fang, and their relationship has always been stable. Shang Ran is very satisfied with his current stable life.
"You should read less of those public opinions on the Internet. If you have nothing to do, go out and relax. Don't focus on work all day long. Give yourself a holiday." Lu Fang said with a smile.
Chen Mubai immediately understood what Lu Fang meant. It turned out to be for this matter!
"Brother Lu, I'm fine." Chen Mubai explained with a smile: "I've known about this for a long time."
"You know?" Lu Fang was surprised.
"Um."
Later, Chen Mubai told Lu Fang about the matter.
"I still don't know." Lu Fang sighed after hearing what happened.
"It just happened. I thought Bruce told you, and he probably thought I told you. After all, I am in China now, but I have been busy with "Iron Man" and forgot about it." Chen Mubai also felt that it was a bit of a coincidence.
.
Originally, Lu Fang and Bruce Lee would definitely communicate about this kind of thing.
But the problem is that Chen Mubai has been in the United States before, and Bruce Lee will directly communicate with Lu Fang if anything happens.
But Chen Mubai came back, and Bruce Lee told Chen Mubai about the incident. Since Chen Mubai was in the country and would definitely have contact with Lu Fang, there was no need for him to do anything extra.
As a result, who would have thought that Chen Mubai didn't tell Lu Fang about this either.
This is the information gap. Bruce Li thought that Chen Mubai would tell Lu Fang about it, but Chen Mubai also thought that Bruce Li would tell Lu Fang about it. Both of them thought that the other party would tell Lu Fang, so they didn't say anything.
, and as a result, the current situation was caused by a combination of circumstances.
"So, now we are speculating on this topic."
"right."
"Bruce is taking action on the American side. Do I want to do something on the Chinese side?" Lu Fang asked again.
"There is no need for China. It would be good to guide the public opinion of the audience a little. It is mainly aimed at foreign netizens. This is just to increase the popularity and help the performance of our company's works in the future."
No matter what, Chen Mubai is a "victim" in this incident. He will arouse the sympathy of some people, so his future works will indeed bring certain benefits, and everyone will support him.
"Okay, I will do it here." Lu Fang nodded: "Domestic public opinion is basically biased towards you. After this incident came out, many people expressed support for you and expressed their support for your next work. In the long run,
Look, it does have a positive impact."
"However, we may not have a chance to win Oscars in the future. The first release of your work will probably return to China, right?"
Chen Mubai shook his head and said: "The Oscar is just an award, I don't care. It would be better if the award could be replaced by box office to increase the impact of the movie. In fact, it will be the same wherever it is first released. I will slowly become a global premiere and try to maintain synchronization.
"
"The market in the United States has almost been developed. I have channels in both markets and can release them simultaneously. I don't need to rely on outside companies to introduce my works. This reduces the time difference, prevents spoilers to the greatest extent, and has a positive impact on the box office of my works.
There is improvement.”
At this stage, many non-local works need to be imported.
For example, movies that are popular in the North American market are usually released in China only after they are released, and the movies are also introduced to domestic theaters by China Film.
Since it was released in North America first, the relevant content and topics of the movie will naturally be published by the news media, and domestic news will also report relevant information about the movie.
This will cause the loss of some viewers. After all, everyone knows the plot of the movie through the news content, which will make the plot of the movie less attractive. Everyone knows the plot, and many people will not leave again.
Going to movie theaters to support movies will cause a certain amount of box office losses.
This kind of news is also good for analyzing the plot of the movie. The advantage is that netizens can use the content and quality revealed in the news to decide whether it is worth going to the cinema to watch.
It costs money to go to the cinema. Many people hope that the movie they choose is worth the ticket price, so they value quality.
Spoilers are indeed something that greatly affects the box office of a movie.
Chen Mubai's current reputation is very good, and everyone believes in his talent, so they are not worried about the quality of his works. So as long as he solves the spoilers, he can naturally increase the box office a lot.
The vast majority of the audience rushing to watch the premiere are people who do not want to be spoiled, so they should be the first group to watch the movie.
Some people later don't care about this and can make their choice based on the reputation of the movie after the premiere. Therefore, if Chen Mubai is really released simultaneously, he can indeed increase the box office of the movie a lot.
In the past, movies such as "Operation Red Sea" were released later in the United States, but "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Resident Evil" were released simultaneously in China and the United States, which were regarded as tests for the future.
With the continuous development of the American market, the entire North American market is being developed step by step by Bruce Lee, and the influence of Mubai Entertainment is indeed growing.
The Oscar issue is getting more and more intense this time, and a large part of the reason is that Mubai Entertainment is well-known, and Chen Mubai is becoming more and more famous, and is no longer an unknown newcomer.
It is precisely because Chen Mubai is already considered a world-renowned actor and director, and can still be shady, that makes the public feel more jealous, and at the same time complain about him even more.
In front of capital, everyone is a vulnerable group, so everyone is naturally more angry.
"correct."
Lu Fang added: "'Legend of Sword and Fairy' is coming to an end, the premiere of 'Resident Evil' has also passed, and I have announced the production of 'Legend of Sword and Fairy 3', which has indeed attracted a lot of attention.
"
"Furthermore, the series of fairy tale dramas created by the original cast and crew is very popular, and the audience is generally looking forward to it."
"You asked me to release the news of the sequel at the climax of the plot. I chose to mention it when Lin Yueru died. Many people were discussing Lin Yueru's death. It was a pity that this character would be resurrected in the sequel."
This result was expected by Chen Mubai. After all, as long as a work is successful, if a sequel is made, everyone hopes that the original cast will star.
After all, this is the right answer, and it will not be a bad idea to cooperate again.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is obviously the sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy". The audience doesn't know that this drama is actually another story. They just think it is the story of Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and others.
Judging from the breakpoints in the plot and the lineup of the sequel, the audience naturally thought it was the story of resurrecting Lin Yueru. After all, the plot behind Sword of Sword 1 has not been released yet, and no one knows what happened next.
When Lin Yueru died, it was easy for people to misunderstand the production of "Sword and Sword 3".
Lin Yueru's character also went from being annoying at the beginning to attracting quite a few fans later. From the moment she chose to sacrifice herself in order to make Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao happy, the character immediately sublimated!
Even some of Zhao Ling'er's fans were moved and joined the "crusade" army one after another, dissatisfied with Lin Yueru.
"That's inevitable. After the press conference of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" comes out, they will know that these two are not the same story. However, the gimmicks and popularity earned previously have been earned. "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"
The heat won't get any lower." Chen Mubai smiled knowingly.
This time, the audience was indeed fooled by him.
From Lin Yueru's death to the audience's attitude of standing up for her, the final climax of the decisive battle between Li Xiaoyao and Juggernaut was far more exciting than the story of Bai Yue!
After all, Li Xiaoyao wants to defy heaven. If he wants to resurrect Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er, he must defeat the Sword Master.
Lin Yueru died, Anu and Tang Yu Xiaobao died, Jiujianxian died, and the protagonist and his entire group died. In the process, the audience's emotions continued to accumulate. When Li Xiaoyao and the Sword Master confronted each other,
In fact, it’s the most enjoyable part of the whole show!
Because all the previous plots are paving the way for the so-called Tao of the Sword Master, the deaths of Lin Yueru and others are also related to the Sword Master in a sense. It was his indifference that caused this result, and the audience can easily vent their emotions on him.
.
When everyone thought that Baiyue died, it turned out that Li Xiaoyao realized his own way. His way was completely opposite to that of the Sword Master. The two people must have collided, but instead they felt a sense of joy.
The audience will not like a lofty character like the Sword Master, but on the contrary, a down-to-earth character like the Jiu Jian Xian is more popular. After all, no one can give up his emotions.
"The actors are also ready and can start filming today." Lu Fang said.
The project of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has been approved, but the press conference has not been held yet. After the press conference, the filming can begin.
"Wait for two more days." Chen Mubai said: "The plot of worshiping the moon will be over soon, and Zhao Ling'er will also die by then. Waiting for the death of the two heroines before holding a press conference can be regarded as answering the questions in the hearts of fans."
"Two heroines have died. If we don't appease the fans quickly, I'm afraid the fans will riot..."
Thinking of his own psychology when watching this ending, Chen Mubai had a deep understanding.
Therefore, he wanted to clarify the relationship between the two Sword Immortals and the subsequent plot development at the press conference.
"No problem, the actors have already received the script. They have been studying the script during this period and preparing for filming."
Before Lu Fang left, he couldn't help but said, "Actually, you really need to relax more. If you keep working at such a high intensity, your body and mind will be exhausted. It's good to relax occasionally."
...
At the press conference of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", fans of Sword and Fairy were finally satisfied.
As they chased the show, they found that everyone was dead.
First of all, important supporting characters died one after another. When Jiujianxian was offline, many viewers were very sad. Everyone still liked this immortal with great Taoism.
The Moon Worshiping Leader is a character that people both love and hate. Before, everyone thought he was a villain, but later they discovered that he is not a murderer. He has his own rules for doing things. It’s just that he is the opposite of the protagonist team, so this happened.
matter.
Many times, he just acts as a promoter and watches the situation develop, rather than taking action to solve others himself. This is different from ordinary villains.
The principles followed by the leader of the Worshiping Moon made the audience agree with them more. However, talking about human rights in the world of Xianxia is indeed a bit too idealistic. Many of his views on governing the country cannot be said to be wrong, but they are just in the wrong era.
A charming villain. In fact, there are no pure bad guys in the show Fairy Sword. Everyone does what they think is right for their own beliefs. This is the case for Li Xiaoyao, the same is true for Bai Yue, and the same is true for Juggernaut.
The character of Sword Master is indeed cruel to the audience, because he not only cares about the affairs of outsiders, but even his own junior brother, he still has this attitude, and he treats his own feelings in the same way.
This kind of person is the most terrifying. He does not have double standards and treats everyone equally. He can sacrifice everything for the sake of his heart. He is a representative of true ruthlessness. But he is also a human being, and his choices have created a series of tragedies. Naturally, the audience has no good impression of him.
.
However, they still don't know the ending of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" Zhao Ling'er and others. The actors, directors and others only said that there will be an explanation.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is another story, and this story will continue with Li Xiaoyao, completing a plot connection.
Everyone is still looking forward to it. "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has indeed become a hot IP. From the popularity of the first part, it can be seen that the data of the third part will not be bad, and there are many potential audience groups.
The previous version of Sword and Sword 3 was even more popular than the first one. Even though it was aired after many years, it still has such strong appeal.
Now, two films are produced and broadcast one after another, and the audience will postpone it to the next one to the greatest extent, and the response will only be greater than in the previous life!
"Resident Evil" has also come to an end, with a total box office of 2.4 billion during the summer!
Tao Yaoyao's first starring film achieved such a high box office and ranks among the best among Chinese actors.
Besides Chen Mubai, she is the second person to achieve such high box office at such a young age.
The couple Tao Yaoyao and Chen Mubai have truly become a couple that is envied by everyone in China.
In the industry, many celebrities want to establish a relationship with the two of them so that they can cooperate with them, and there is a high chance that they will be taken away.
In particular, Chen Mubai, a gold medal screenwriter and director, is also a very strong actor. He is not only popular in the eyes of stars, but also in the eyes of capital.
Countless female celebrities flock to her every day, and even some male celebrities...
Even if they know that Chen Mubai will not respond, some people will still do it. They always have a little hope, maybe they will be attracted?
Their requirements are not high, they just want to play a large role in Chen Mubai's work, and they want to use the popularity of the work to become famous!
Regardless of the outcome, there is a high probability that Chen Mubai's work will become a hit.
Stars in the entertainment industry will not miss any possibility of becoming popular. Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao are now the guiding lights.
During this period of time, Tao Yaoyao's resources have exploded, because "Resident Evil" is also popular abroad, and many international big names have noticed her popularity and influence, and have contacted her one after another, wanting to cooperate.
This movie also took in a box office of 230 million U.S. dollars across the sea, which really surprised everyone!
"Sister Qin."
At this time, Chen Mubai, Tao Yaoyao, and Qin Qiu were sitting in the restaurant eating.
This time it was Chen Mubai who found them and had something to discuss.
"Why did you call us here today?" Qin Qiu's beautiful eyes swept over the two of them and said with a smile, "Do you want to die?"
"Sister Qin~"
A hint of shyness flashed across Tao Yaoyao's rosy cheeks.
Being teased by her elders made her extremely shy.
Qin Qiu and Tao Qingchao were officially together, but Tao Yaoyao had always called her Qin Qiu since she was a child. She was not used to changing her name for a while, so Qin Qiu followed her.
The relationship between the two is very good, and whether they change their words or not is not important.
"Well......"
Chen Mubai was also a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Qin Qiu covered his mouth and looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, one shy and the other embarrassed.
"Is such that."
When it came to business, Chen Mubai immediately collected his thoughts and said seriously: "I wonder what Sister Qin has planned for Yaoyao's future work?"
Qin Qiu didn't expect Chen Mubai to ask this question, but she immediately answered: "Yaoyao's first movie was a hit, and her international status has been improved. Big foreign brands have come to her for endorsements."
"The commercial value has been reflected, and many film crews came to us, including Hollywood movies. They all wanted to invite Yaoyao to star, but I didn't agree. She is very popular now, so you have to be careful when accepting movies. Once you get a bad movie, your reputation will be wasted.
, I plan to let her slowly look forward to the future, and the quality of Hollywood is not necessarily high."
After hearing Qin Qiu's plan, Chen Mubai nodded secretly in his heart.
As expected of a relative, he has always thought about Tao Yaoyao's future and would not kill the goose to obtain the eggs.
If it were another agent, I'm afraid that seeing Tao Yaoyao's popularity, he would immediately think about making money.
If Hollywood offers an olive branch, it will definitely not choose to wait and see, but will accept it.
After all, at this time, Hollywood movies are famous all over the world and are considered to be of the highest quality. Starring in Hollywood movies is a win-win situation.
"Sister Qin is such a sweetheart." Chen Mubai sincerely praised: "With Yaoyao's current popularity, any film starring her will definitely generate a lot of popularity, and "Resident Evil" is a series of movies, and the follow-up ones will be
She is the protagonist, so the popularity is not low."
"Actually, that's why I came here today. I hope Yaoyao won't accept any film invitations for the time being. Although she can make money by accepting films now, the quality of her works cannot be guaranteed, and it is very likely that her accumulated popularity will be consumed."
"Even if there are Hollywood works, there are many bad ones. And even if she takes a Hollywood movie, she will only be a supporting role and not the protagonist. They will not give Chinese stars the opportunity to be the protagonist."
The United States prides itself on being the world's most developed film country, and Hollywood has become a global film production mecca. They are naturally proud of it.
Stars all over the world aspire to go there, and it is also the dream place for many people. Hollywood not only creates dreams for American stars, but also creates a dream place for stars all over the world!
"You know what happened at the Oscars recently?"
"Know."
Qin Qiu nodded solemnly. Tao Yaoyao immediately contacted Chen Mubai to ask the whole story. Chen Mubai called them out this time just to tell them the truth.
This incident is not only related to Chen Mubai, but also a warning to Chinese works, because the reason why the other party did not award the best picture was revealed to be because Chen Mubai is Chinese.
It is said that it prevented Chen Mubai from winning the best picture, so why not prevent Huaxia Film from winning this award?
In the past, films shot in China did not have the chance to win awards. Films shot in the United States were blacklisted just because the director was Chinese. Isn’t this boycotting Chinese films from winning awards?
This is also the reason why the matter is so big, because the same situation will happen to directors from other countries!
Many people in the entertainment industry abroad are supporting Chen Mubai, but they are actually supporting themselves!
Chen Mubai is not an exception, his situation represents a phenomenon, and this is the reason why the matter is so big.
"I knew this news before this Oscar ceremony." Chen Mubai said lightly.
"What!?" Tao Yaoyao and Qin Qiu were surprised.
Later, Chen Mubai told the whole story, and the two people's faces still remained shocked.
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, so Chen Mubai gave up the opportunity to pursue an Oscar in the future, just to make the matter bigger and get more people to support him.
His plan is not unreasonable. It can indeed improve his reputation and have a certain bonus to the movie's box office. Qin Qiu looked at Chen Mubai's calm face and was still shocked.
This is putting oneself to death in order to survive!
"Then this matter and Yaoyao..."
Qin Qiu was a little confused.
The Oscar incident had nothing to do with Tao Yaoyao. Chen Mubai must have something to do when he came out this time, but she didn't expect what Yaoyao could do.
Tao Yaoyao also looked at Chen Mubai with a puzzled look.
Chen Mubai continued: "The popularity of several works has made my fame in the world no longer limited to a certain region. I can also be regarded as a world star."
The two nodded, this was a fact.
Several popular dramas were produced by Chen Mubai, and he is indeed famous all over the world.
Many foreign actors and directors hope to cooperate with Chen Mubai. This is his current international status and influence.
"Although the Oscar's actions against me did not cause much harm this time, I am still unhappy after all. It is a well-known award after all, so I want to fight back against them."
Qin Qiu said in surprise: "Fight back?"
"It's okay for you to break up with the opponent and fight back, but how can you affect them?"
One is the alliance of capital. No matter how powerful Chen Mubai is, he can only fight alone, not to mention that he is still in the United States, which is his home base.
Even if Chen Mubai does not participate in this award from now on, the Oscar is still the Oscar. Although this incident has affected them, it does not prevent it from still being one of the highest awards for movies.
Chen Mubai said coldly: "Although the Oscar is famous, isn't it the same as the three major European films? I won't win the best picture at the Oscar, but if I win the award in all three majors, then things will not be that simple."
"Originally, as the authoritative Oscar, I need to chase awards to improve my abilities. But if I win a top award other than the Oscar, then the Oscar will need me to win the award to prove the gold content of this award. It is no longer my need.
It rather needs me."
There are only a few awards at the most authoritative film festivals in the world. If Chen Mubai wins all but one, his Oscar rating will definitely be laughed at.
The black mark on Chen Mubai's award this time will become a black spot that will never disappear. Because Chen Mubai's name will go down in history, the Oscar will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
The premise is that Chen Mubai must be able to win all the best films from the three major film festivals!
Then he used this topic to ridicule Oscar, and the other person was speechless because it was the truth.
