Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 430 Cool?
Speaking of which, the US company Saidian still has great expectations for "The Wandering Earth". Not only has it used all its theater connections, but it has also done a certain range of publicity. Of course, the scale of this publicity is very limited. They are all cheap promotions. It can only be said that something is better than nothing.

The screen canvas that Cedigm initially obtained for "The Wandering Earth" was only 432. Judging from the number of films scheduled, it is estimated that it is less than 5%. However, this is the North American market, and it is already rare to have such a scale.

The main propaganda direction of the company is still used in the Chinese community. After all, the actors are all Chinese. American people have face blindness when they see Orientals. It is difficult to remember who is who. Hollywood opened up the situation because he has a bigger nose and is more recognizable than ordinary Chinese people.

From the point of view of the company, it is all about making money anyway, whether it is making money from Americans or Chinese people, it is the same.

In fact, their publicity strategy is effective. Chinese movies have not entered the North American market for many years, and some Chinese still prefer it.

Of course, most Chinese are not optimistic about "The Wandering Earth". After all, in their impression, Chinese-language movies seem to have never achieved good results except for kung fu movies and martial arts movies. Science fiction?Don't make trouble, Hollywood is the base camp of sci-fi movies, okay?

On the other hand, the company is actually under great pressure. After John returned to China, he exposed the matter of what conditions Chris got the distribution rights of "The Wandering Earth" in the circle, and even reprimanded him as a Hollywood What a shame, the whole circle laughed at him for a while, and he would actually give such a condition to a Chinese movie.

The ridicule actually represents the attitude of Hollywood colleagues towards "The Wandering Earth". They have become accustomed to looking down on all the film colleagues in the world from above. For them, Hollywood movies are the highest standard in the world. They have no Putting "The Wandering Earth" in their eyes, no one cares about a Chinese-language movie being released in North America.

For Chris, he must win this battle, and win it beautifully, otherwise he will not only face the danger of being kicked out by investors, but also become the laughing stock of the entire industry in the future.

In mid-November, "The Wandering Earth" began to be screened in North America. In fact, it is North America. The actual release location is in the United States. The theater channels in other regions have not been opened up. After all, not all theaters are willing to release a Chinese film. chance.

That night, some Chinese came to the theater, and a small part of them came into the theater with the attitude of trying to see a Chinese movie. Most of them were Chinese students studying abroad, and some of them had even watched it in China. I accidentally discovered that "The Wandering Earth" was released in North America, so I brought a few friends to the theater together.

"Hey, Chris, you made a good deal. If these Chinese people can come so many every day, you don't have to worry about the box office." The theater manager said mockingly.

Chris's face was a bit ugly, but he didn't argue, because this is America, mocking black people would be considered racial discrimination, and you might lose your job, but mocking Chinese people?Sorry, it seems like they tend to choose to endure?
"Dude, don't look down on people, watch it, more and more Americans will come to see this movie, just wait to collect the money!" Chris walked out of the theater directly after speaking, he needed to calm down, otherwise he would Worried that I couldn't help but blow the fat pig's head off.

Lao Ma is 40 years old this year and has been in the United States for 20 years. He belongs to the second generation of immigrants. His son is 16 years old. He opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The business is not bad. He took his wife and son to the cinema on weekends. I just want to pass the time by watching a popcorn movie.

In the end, I saw the Chinese characters for "The Wandering Earth" on the poster, and after another look, it turned out to be a sci-fi film made by Huaxia.

"Hey, why don't we watch this movie?" Lao Ma excitedly pointed at Hai and reported.

My son, Xiao Ma, was a little unhappy: "No, I want to watch How to Train Your Dragon 3. I've watched the first two."

The old horse also hesitated when he heard it, but his wife patted his son on the shoulder: "Just listen to your father and watch [The Wandering Earth]. Anyway, you have watched the first two movies, and this one is not bad, or you can watch it later." You can also buy a DVD to watch sometime.”

Pony complained a little depressed: "Oh, this is really a bad decision, Huaxia science fiction movie? Does Huaxia have science fiction? Is it the kind that flies around in the air?"

Lao Ma was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it. It seemed that the Huaxia movies that landed in North America were all similar martial arts movies. As for science fiction movies, well, he could only hope that he had been away from his hometown for too long.

"If it's really too boring, I may leave early, and you are not allowed to stop me." Xiao Ma is at the time of rebellion.

Lao Ma and his wife had no choice but to agree, and entered the screening room. Xiao Ma sat in the middle, and Lao Ma and his wife, one with popcorn and the other with Coke, sat on both sides.

When Xiao Ma entered the theater, he shook his head: "You see, all the people who come here are Chinese faces, and they clearly want to make money from you. This is so stupid."

The old horse and his wife were even more embarrassed, but they heard a man behind him laughing: "No, believe me, this movie is definitely worth your money to buy a ticket. I have seen it in Huaxia. It's great, and it's not all in Huaxia. People come to see, don’t you think there are a few foreigners there?”

Although Xiao Ma was still dismissive when he heard it, he didn't make a fuss anymore. His wife nodded gratefully from the young man, and Lao Ma also noticed that some foreigners also entered the screening room out of curiosity or other reasons.

Not long after, the screening started. Lao Ma looked at the beginning of a documentary similar to the beginning, and was a little shocked by the hugeness of the entire world view. Of course, he was more worried. With such a large world view, with the level of Chinese movies, it is really possible to make a real film. The world of Wandering Earth?
Xiao Ma, he didn't put much energy on the screen at first, but after Liu Qi brought Han Beibei to the ground from the dungeon, he couldn't move his eyes away, especially when Liu Qi was driving a heavy-duty transport vehicle, He couldn't help shouting: "This is so cool."

That's right, it's cool. In Xiaoma's impression, all Hollywood sci-fi movies, whether it's the operation of the spaceship or the operation of the mecha, are all handle-type, like in "The Wandering Earth", this kind of ball-type operation It seems that there is no other adjective besides cool.

Afterwards, Liu Qi drove to the ice field. When Han Beibei asked: What are those excavators doing, the entire worldview of Wandering Earth began to explode in the audience's minds.

Lao Ma noticed that those foreigners seemed to have the same expressions as them?

"Don't they also feel very shocked?" The old horse suddenly felt a sense of pride inexplicably.
