Zhou Xingchi's eyes returned to their previous state of surprise.
He thought of Liu Qingshan's great ambition, but he never expected that under the surface that outsiders didn't understand, this man had quietly made so many preparations.
"Now that I think about it, the establishment of your Snowland Studio is also part of your future development?"
"That's a stepping stone, and it's also the foundation of your career. If you don't have anything that others don't have, why should people look down on you? Master Xing, you are like this too. You have gone through a difficult period of not being appreciated by others, and since then you have developed your own characteristics. , so that there will be a steady stream of films!”
"Well, Shanzi, you did the right thing! It seems that I was worried about you in vain. You already had a complete plan in mind."
"I don't have any specific plans, I just want to think long-term, so I rush to curry favor with you on weekdays so that it's easier to ask for leave!"
Zhou Xingchi laughed loudly, "Did you see that your movie was almost finished filming, so you just wanted to do other things early? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. You have to stay here to help until the movie is finished. I."
"Don't be so unkind, right? You've already achieved success, but I'm looking for work everywhere. Don't you know that a well-fed man will be hungry when he's hungry?"
Having said that, Liu Qingshan will never quit before completion. The special effects of "Kung Fu" still need to be completed in the snow. It is necessary to avoid detours as much as possible for Frederick and the others.
"Brother, I have something else to ask you for," Zhou Xingchi's expression suddenly turned serious. "As for the future release of "Kung Fu", I want to ask you if Mr. Martin can help!"
Only then did Liu Qingshan realize that Mr. Xing was interested in Martin's influence in the European and American entertainment circles and wanted to ask him to find some connections.
No one today knows better than him the status of "Kung Fu" in future Chinese-language films, nor does he know that this film has also become a hit at the box office abroad.
Even as soon as "Kung Fu" came out, as the box office and reputation continued to rise, the film industry was considered to be Zhou Xingchi's tribute to past Kung Fu films, and the actors Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, and Liang Xiaolong who had been labeled in the film, Since then, it has become the target of various producers' pursuit.
At the same time, it also comprehensively promotes all the well-known Chinese martial arts, such as the Six-Fingered Piano Demon, Tathagata Palm, Lion Roar Kung Fu, Tai Chi, etc., which have become what foreign movie fans often talk about. Martial arts noun.
More importantly, those who don't know how to use all kinds of details in the whole film will think that they are watching a Hollywood genre film, and it will feel like one of Quentin's works.
This is why "Kung Fu" is the only Chinese-language film that can sell well at the box office in the old United States. It does not rely on any external force to promote it. Don't talk about Zhang Yimo's "Hero". They are similar to foreign movies. If the production company has signed a private agreement, the box office must be decent!
The pinnacle work!
This is the best evaluation of Liu Qingshan, a person who can predict the future.
Not a single extra shot, not a single extra line, perfect. He thought it would be difficult for him to surpass it in the future.
Because, when he heard the concern in Zhou Xingchi's tone, Liu Qingshan uncharacteristically patted his chest and promised: "Master Xing, this matter has been taken care of by me, although I don't want my image in the film to be seen by more foreigners. Yes, but for our crew and you, I will risk my face even if I have to pester Martin and introduce us to a real publicity expert!"
Zhou Xingchi was overjoyed, "Not only is it important to find an understanding person who is familiar with the European and American market conditions, but a professional and capable issuing company is equally important!"
Liu Qingshan nodded. Not only did he have confidence in the movie, he also knew a lot about the future film source market and knew what to do next.
But he would not forget to mention: "Master Xing, how do you think the box office of "Myth" is still in theaters?"
"It goes without saying that under Boss Yang's organization and planning, coupled with the strength of the film itself, it has continued to break box office records!"
"We still have to find him. Through the operation of "Myth", Uncle Yang has found a very suitable publicity channel. Before outsiders can really react, we need him to take action again!"
Liu Qingshan did not expose the content of his previous private transactions with Yang Wancheng. It cannot be said that such things are illegal, at least until people's thinking has not turned around from the previous traditional routines. It's not suitable to say it openly.
"Are you saying that the Asian promotion plan of "Kung Fu" will be handed over to Qinghuang? Tell me, not from the perspective of an actor, why do you like our movie so much?"
"It's simple. "Kung Fu" is much better than the funny movies nowadays. The key is that it's not deliberately funny at all. And every little character has its own characteristics. I can tell you a lot now. The crocodile directed by Feng at the beginning The gang leader, the police sergeant who was scalded by boiling water, the beautiful wife of the gang leader, Brother Chen, Brother Chen’s toady follower, the one who had his head blown off, the four-eyed boy, Azhen, the owner of the tailor shop, there are too many. I won’t list them one by one.”
"It's your script that has the greatest effect!"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I don't think so. To be honest, Mr. Xing, the people you selected are all unexpectedly accurate, and almost every role is brought to life!"
"I guess we shouldn't brag here. You haven't answered my question yet. Should you leave the promotion of the film to Qinghuang?"
"Well, maybe the market in Hanguo won't be as strong as "The Myth" because it was originally a co-production between the two countries! But we have other hopes, such as small island countries and countries in Southeast Asia. There is almost no need for any domestic efforts. Well, just look at the movie fans who gather outside every day. Their existence itself is the current hot spot in the entertainment industry, and our reputation has already spread!"
"Come on, those people are here for you alone. I just have some memories in the eyes of old movie fans. Young people nowadays are all running for you. I'm afraid they have to break through a thousand now, right?"
What Zhou Xingchi said was true. The fans gathering outside had grown from a few dozen people at the beginning to thousands now.
This number doesn't sound too shocking, but anyone who has seen the scene outside will understand the horror of a street packed with fans.
Especially when we were still in Shanghai, the streets of Longchang and Pingliang were not very wide. Currently they are basically occupied by fans. Even the few small restaurants and inns on the streets are packed every day. fully.
It is precisely because of this that Shanghai City will send no less than fifty police officers every day to maintain order on the scene, otherwise the situation will become increasingly difficult to control.
It is said that even the nearby residents have been mobilized. Many people outside with red sleeve bands on their arms are those who come from the private sector.
For them, this kind of star-chasing behavior is quite tolerant. Unlike many dissenters on the Internet, "Longchang Apartment" can become another attraction in Shanghai, which is a great thing for these neighbors.
Even in online forums, some fans at the scene frequently mentioned the locals' attitude towards them, and there was almost no negative content.
