Chapter 1593 New Play Promotion

Novel Network

The next day, Xiao Yunhai returned to Yanjing.

After staying for only one day, Xiao Yunhai flew to Shanghai to join the crew and participate in the promotional conference of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance".

In the days that followed, Xiao Yunhai and the crew traveled to more than ten cities to promote it everywhere.

Xiao Yunhai's popularity is so high that thousands of fans must welcome him wherever he goes. No matter where the publicity meeting is held, it is full of people, and the media reporters are highly concerned.

This time period is the best movie schedule in China. Fans have worked hard for a year and have money. In addition, it is Chinese New Year, and it is impossible to travel, so going to the cinema to watch a movie has become their best pastime.

Since this schedule is the best, it will naturally attract the attention of film companies around the world.

Like the crew of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", all the crew participated in programs on various TV stations in China, and went to various places in China to hold film promotion conferences.

According to rough statistics by the media, from the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month to the twentieth day of the first lunar month, more than 20 movies of different styles and types were released.

In this, Xiao Yunhai is naturally the most famous. If it is "Zhu Xian", then everyone will probably shy away from it, but this is a comedy movie with an investment of less than 100 million Chinese dollars, so it is naturally another matter.

Some people even challenged Xiao Yunhai in front of reporters in order to stand out.

In an interview program on Yanjing TV, the director of American Disney Studios, Franks Gay, made a very rude answer when asked by the host what he thought of Xiao Yunhai's "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang".

"I don't think Mr. Xiao's play can pose a threat to me."

"why?"

"It's very simple. Because my "Jedi Men" surpasses Mr. Xiao's "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" in every aspect. First of all, the actors, we have enabled two Hollywood actors, a Hollywood actress, and Huaxia. The actor Mr. Liang Hui and the famous action actor Mr. Zhen Dan, other roles are also played by first-line actors with excellent acting skills, and "Tang Bohu Points Autumn Fragrance", except for Mr. Xiao and Mr. Huang Bo, the actor of Jinzun, the other actors I really like I don't know any of them."

"The second is investment. Mr. Xiao's investment in this play is only more than 30 million US dollars. With this amount of money, I really can't imagine what kind of big scenes can be filmed. And we are forty times his, from From preparation to promotion, a total of 1.3 billion US dollars was spent, and the scene was even more frightening, enough to be called one of the most popular action movies in history.”

"The last thing is the publicity. Mr. Xiao seems to have a little lack of confidence in this film, and the publicity is far less than his other films. Watching the trailer of this play, I didn't see anything exciting."

"Therefore, I think that Mr. Xiao's "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is definitely not as good as our "Jedi Men". This is the real thought in my heart, not to deliberately discredit Mr. Xiao's film, I hope he doesn't mind."

When Liang Hui next to him heard Franks Guy's words, the smile on his face suddenly restrained, and his expression became very serious.

Although Liang Hui is also very confident in the film "Jedi Men", Franks Gay's unceremonious comment on Xiao Yunhai's "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" made Liang Hui smell a hint of danger.

Franks Gay is an excellent director of action blockbusters in Hollywood, but he is not aware of Xiao Yunhai's lofty status among Chinese fans.

From "Charlotte Trouble" to "The Grandmaster", Xiao Yunhai has never disappointed fans. With a minimum of US$1.6 billion and a maximum of more than US$23 billion at the box office, it has built a monument that is unmatched by anyone else. This gave a boost to the long-term downturn of Huaxia Films, and Xiao Yunhai became a hero in their hearts, and pride and self-confidence emerged spontaneously.

If Franks Gay's words annoyed Xiao Yunhai's fans and made them boycott "Jedi Men", then the end of this play can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Liang Hui was suddenly worried.

After the show, Liang Hui said to Franks Guy: "Mr. Guy, you shouldn't say bad things about 'Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance', it will be very detrimental to us."

Franks Gay was stunned for a moment and said, "How come? The reason why I say these words is to use Mr. Xiao's movie to promote our "Jedi Men" in turn, and these words are all facts. According to Mr. Xiao's Mind, you shouldn't hold grudges in your heart."

The heroine next to Ruth said: "Yes. I have met Mr. Xiao several times. He is a real gentleman and won't mind this. And Director Guy just analyzed the two films from an objective point of view. The gap is not slandered for no reason. Mr. Liang, are you a little too worried? "

Liang Hui shook his head and said, "Then why didn't the other crews talk about Mr. Xiao? As long as the reporters asked about Mr. Xiao's films, they would only say good things. Don't they know about the relationship between "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" and their own films. Is there a difference?"

Franks Guy was stunned for a moment, his face became solemn, and he said, "Why?"

Liang Hui sighed: "Because they don't want to offend his fans. Director Guy, it's impossible to calculate how many fans Yunhai has in Huaxia. Anyway, there must be more than 300 million. In the minds of these people, Yunhai is them. God. Even if it is a rotten film that can't be rotten any more, as long as he says it is good, the box office of this film will immediately create a box office miracle. You are indeed telling the truth, and Yunhai will definitely not take it to heart, but His hundreds of millions of fans don't think so. They will think that you are insulting Yunhai's movies, slandering their idols, and once used by our enemies to provoke their antipathy to "Jedi Men", Not only will this movie be completely over in Huaxia, but it will also affect your future movies. Do you understand?"

Action star Richard widened his eyes and said, "No way. Even the most famous actors in Hollywood can't have such influence. Liang, are your words too exaggerated?"

Liang Hui said with a wry smile: "This is a lesson from the past. Have you forgotten Paramount's "Resident Evil" that competed with "2012"? Director Mr. Weaver was the holder of the global box office record at that time. It was also very exciting, but in the end it only got a box office of one or two hundred million dollars in China. At that time, Xiao Yunhai had not yet reached the top. Now with the great success of the two films "2012" and "The Grandmaster", he Its influence has reached the point where a single word can decide the life and death of a movie. I hope my predictions don't come true, otherwise, we will be waiting for a total failure."

Liang Hui's words silenced the entire crew, casting a shadow over their hearts.

In the car, no one spoke.

When he arrived at the hotel, Franks Guy suddenly said, "Liang, you and Mr. Xiao are good friends, can you give him a call to explain."

Liang Hui frowned and said, "Director, even if you make this phone call, it's useless. I know Yun Hai too well, he certainly won't mind, but he won't give us a platform. After all, what you said is his movies."

Frank Gay took a deep breath and said, "Then what do we do now?"

Liang Hui thought for a while, and said, "I still have to make a phone call. This matter must be explained to Yunhai in advance. If something really happened, it would be too inappropriate to ask him to explain. I hope I'm just worrying about the sky."

Taking out his mobile phone, Liang Hui directly dialed Xiao Yunhai's number.

Xiao Yunhai was taking the crew to eat at a hot pot restaurant in Modu, when he saw Liang Hui's call, he picked it up quickly.

"Mr. Liang, you haven't contacted me for a long time." Xiao Yunhai laughed.

Liang Hui smiled and said, "You are so busy, how could I be so embarrassed to disturb you often."

Xiao Yunhai said: "According to what you said, it seems that something happened today."

Liang Hui said: "There is indeed something I want to communicate with you in advance. In the talk show just now, director Franks Guy said some inappropriate things, I hope you don't mind."

Xiao Yunhai asked inexplicably: "What? Did you scold me, or did you scold my movie?"

Liang Hui said: "None of them. It's like this..."

After listening to Liang Hui's words, Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Mr. Liang, although Director Guy's words are true, to be honest, I'm still a little unhappy in my heart. He wants to use me to promote yours. Movies, it's a bit inappropriate to do that."

Liang Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Director Guy already knew it was inappropriate. That's why I asked me to call you and apologize to you."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "My mind is not that narrow, and I will never take revenge because of this matter. But at the same time, my mind is not that big, and I can't say anything good for him. Therefore, I can be This has never happened. As for the other issues, you can handle it yourself."

Liang Hui said: "Okay. As long as you don't mind."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Hui said to Franks Guy: "As I expected, he won't do anything to us because of this, but he won't explain it to us. The key now is his fans. Let's wait and see."

Franks Guy can only helplessly nodded.
