Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 456 North American Promotion: Love Confession

[Wu Zhuo's latest work, "John Wick," is set to release on August 8th. Wu Zhuo revealed that this is the best film he has starred in in recent years.]

[For the sake of a dog, Wu Zhuo will go on a killing spree in North America]

[A Hollywood blockbuster-level production, "John Wick" is coming soon!]

[John Wick becomes the most anticipated film of the summer, with over three million people in China expressing their desire to see it.]

[John Wick will be released simultaneously in North America, playing in 1200 theaters]

[Wu Zhuo's new film has been scheduled for release, causing domestic films to scramble to avoid it. The summer movie season has become a battleground between Wu Zhuo and Hollywood blockbusters. Who will ultimately emerge victorious?]

While Wu Zhuo was heading to North America for promotional activities, the buzz surrounding "John Wick" had already been generated in China.

A large number of media outlets are promoting this movie.

Most of these media outlets were not actually PR firms hired by Legend.

Rather, it was their spontaneous behavior.

The reason for this is simply that Wu Zhuo's achievements in recent years have been outstanding.

In recent years, the movies he starred in, regardless of their release date, have inevitably exerted a significant suppressive impact on other films released in the same period.

Over the years, other companies that didn't believe in bad luck ran into him several times, and each time, their box office performance was ruined.

There have even been cases where a film that was originally well-received and expected to be a box office hit flopped because it was competing with Wu Zhuo.

Especially during last year's Spring Festival film season.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was a box office smash during the Spring Festival, ultimately closing with a record-breaking 17.3 billion yuan.

This further cemented Wu Zhuo's status as the undisputed new generation box office king in China.

Therefore, in the face of Wu Zhuo's ambitious summer blockbuster "John Wick," domestic companies, including Enlight Media and Huayi Brothers, withdrew from the release window, leaving only a batch of Hollywood blockbusters to compete with Wu Zhuo.

Of course, there are also movies that are stubborn and headstrong.

Guo Jingming's "New Era 2: The Age of Green Wood" did not wait, but insisted on waiting for the summer season.

Perhaps it's because the success of "The New Era 1," released in June, gave Guo Jingming a different perspective, making him believe that the second installment would inevitably be a hit.

This guy directly scheduled his release date for the same day that "John Wick" was released.

“Mr. Wu Zhuo is a respectable actor and singer, but I believe that ‘Tiny Times’ will achieve good results.”

The audience's eyes are certainly discerning.

On the plane, Wu Zhuo flipped through a magazine and saw Guo Jingming's words when asked why he didn't withdraw the film. Upon seeing this comment, he couldn't help but scoff.

This guy is really confident.

Given the reputation of "Tiny Times," it's unbelievable that they dared to mess with it.

Wu Zhuo felt that he would definitely regret it.

"Wu Zhuo is already the most bankable Chinese actor in North America after Jackie Chan, and the box office of this film, 'John Wick,' will definitely not be less than $5000 million."

At the same time, this film may become Wu Zhuo's passport to becoming a top-tier actor worldwide.

If this show can really achieve that.

Wu Zhuo's global influence is bound to reach new heights.

He's already reached the pinnacle of the singing world; if he achieves further success in the film industry, he will become an indispensable figure in the history of the entertainment industry both domestically and internationally.

Let's open another article.

This article praises him so much that he's a little embarrassed.

A legendary figure in the global entertainment industry.

This title is a bit scary.

"I'm going to take a nap first!"

After flipping through the magazine for a while, Wu Zhuo put it down, lay down, and went to sleep.

……

1 o'clock noon.

Wu Zhuo's plane landed in Los Angeles.

This trip was kept completely confidential.

So there weren't many people picking people up at the airport.

However, Wu Zhuo was still cornered.

Among the passengers on the same flight, someone recognized him and rushed over to ask for an autograph after getting off the plane.

Then, because of his actions, another group of people rushed over. To avoid causing trouble at the airport, Wu Zhuo had no choice but to run away quickly.

Speaking of which, Wu Zhuo is probably one of the most disliked people in the airline industry now.

If he keeps his air travel secrets well, that's fine, but if even a tiny bit of information leaks out, the airport will be packed with people.

He has caused congestion at airports in several countries, resulting in delays for many flights.

Wu Zhuo himself had no way to deal with this.

He actually bought a plane for travel.

But it can only fly within China.

Once abroad, there are air traffic control restrictions, so even if he has a plane, there's nothing he can do.

After landing in Los Angeles, Wu Zhuo checked into the hotel he had booked in advance.

Then, the very next morning, they immediately began promoting the film.

Movie promotion in North America is actually not much different from that in China.

They all organize events, appear on shows, or release related news topics online to attract attention.

However, it is more popular in China than in other parts of the world.

While John Wick garnered some attention during its promotional period, it was clearly not particularly high.

This is related to Wu Zhuo's influence in the film industry.

Fans in North America are quite different from those in China.

The fans here are fans.

Very few of them are actually willing to buy tickets to see Wu Zhuo's movies.

This is why, despite Wu Zhuo's immense popularity, his films are only considered mediocre in North America.

Of course, this is only relative to those A-list superstar actors.

Compared to other Asian actors and second- or third-tier actors in Hollywood.

Wu Zhuo is a superstar singer, which makes his movies receive a relatively high level of attention.

In addition, he actually has some fans here.

Yes, Wu Zhuo actually has fans here.

Several of the movies he starred in have been released in North America.

Although the box office was only tens of millions of US dollars, it was within the ordinary range.

But overall it is still quite popular.

Especially for fans of action movies, Wu Zhuo is now one of the few people in the action genre with a considerable audience.

Ellison is one of them.

He didn't like Wu Zhuo because of his songs.

It's because of his movies.

He was originally a fan of Jackie Chan, and because of Jackie Chan, he would often go to see movies with Chinese kung fu.

Previously, when Wu Zhuo's "Ip Man" series was released, the promotional material used the name of Bruce Lee, the master of Chinese Kung Fu.

Ellison knew about Bruce Lee.

The other party has a certain degree of fame in North America, and is second only to Jackie Chan among Chinese people.

So when "Ip Man" was released, he immediately went to see the movie.

Then, attracted by the exciting action scenes, he immediately became a fan of Wu Zhuo.

This time, after hearing that Wu Zhuo was promoting "John Wick," an action-packed gunfight movie.

He skipped work and went straight to Wu Zhuo's roadshow to see him.

"Abel, I like you! Will you be my girlfriend?"

When he saw Wu Zhuo appear on stage, an excited Ellison shouted loudly.

"Thank you for your help, but unfortunately, I like girls!"

Ellison had a particularly loud and rough voice, and Wu Zhuo couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard it.

Kind of outrageous.
