In the VIP cinema of Xinghai Hotel, Yang Dongxu was a little absent-minded and wandering around, not knowing what he was thinking. Dai'er, who was sitting next to him, was looking intently at the big screen in front of him.
Behind the two people, Zhang Jing, Xiao Hutou and Hathaway, as well as Du Heng and other bodyguards were also looking at the screen.
Watching a movie like this is not romantic at all. A real date must be to go to the cinema hand in hand or go shopping to feel more comfortable. But Yang Dongxu’s first rule while abroad is to never seek death.
Maybe he would have a little romance at home, but in a foreign country where guns were not allowed at all, he didn't want to rely on luck to think that his date would be okay this time.
So it’s not romantic if it’s not romantic. Watching a movie surrounded by a group of bodyguards is also watching a movie, right? Besides, when watching a movie in a hotel's private theater, the VIP-level treatment is much more upscale than going to a large theater.
Yang Dongxu's expression kept changing and he didn't know what he was thinking. Dai'er watched the movie carefully and stuffed some fruit into his mouth from time to time. Occasionally, he also stuffed some fruit into Yang Dongxu's mouth.
It went on and on like this. When the movie ended, everyone couldn't help but start to get up and move their bodies while still not satisfied, because they were almost stiff after sitting for the two and a half hours of the movie.
"Do you really think there is a Pandora planet?" Dai'er asked while shaking her waist and moving her body.
Zhang Jing, who was about to leave behind her, couldn't help but slow down, obviously also very curious about this issue.
"This is a movie. Even if it existed in the current world, it would be impossible for current humans to pass by." Yang Dongxu said.
Yes, the group of people were watching nothing else but the epic movie "Avatar". Avatar was released in Europe and the United States at the end of last year and instantly swept all the box office in the world except China.
This movie, with an investment of up to 300 million US dollars, can be said to have shocked everyone upon its release and opened the curtain on 3D movies around the world. It can be said to be an epoch-making movie.
"You're so boring!" Dai'er rolled her eyes.
Asking this question is obviously due to women’s unique sensibility and cat-like curiosity. And Yang Dongxu's stern answer was undoubtedly that of a straight man. He was the kind of guy who could talk to death when a girl started a topic.
Faced with Dai'er's rolling eyes, Yang Dongxu shrugged, women just couldn't listen to the truth. Zhang Jing, who was about to leave, couldn't help but ask her boss to help her, "Will this movie be introduced into the country?"
It is not a secret that China is preparing to produce Hollywood blockbusters on a large scale, and at the same time let the film companies below produce excellent works to maintain the domestic film defense line. Many people know it, so this topic is not bluntly opened.
But Dai'er next to her still glanced at Zhang Jing out of the corner of her eye, but her expression didn't change. Of course, she didn't pester Yang Dongxu anymore. Don't be a monster when talking about things. This is a necessary quality for a sensible woman. one.
"We will definitely introduce it. Now that we have decided to liberalize parts of the mainland market and integrate with international films, we cannot give up introducing such excellent films just because we are afraid of losing.
Otherwise, only those films that stretch the crotch will be introduced to compete with domestic films, and it will be impossible for both sides to improve their standards. This will also go against the original intention of liberalizing the domestic film market. "
"That's not a lot of pressure!" Zhang Jing said worriedly.
"It doesn't mean you are bound to lose because of the pressure. The only difference now is whether you lose with some dignity or whether you are pressed to the ground and rubbed."
If it weren't for Yang Dongxu's appearance, Avatar would have been introduced to China not long after the beginning of this year, and then began the humiliation of a Hollywood movie dominating the domestic film market.
And for many years to come, this foreign film always topped the domestic box office. This is the highest-grossing movie in global film history, and whoever touches it will die without exception.
"Then let's go here..." Zhang Jing's face became more worried.
Although Heiner was pushed out of the market a few years ago, the military order had already been issued. Now faced with such a step, she couldn't help but start to worry whether Heiner would encounter Waterloo for the first time in history.
Although Heiner's entry into Hollywood was not smooth in the past, at least he had a variety of viable works and various ways to make a lot of money. And if he loses this time, he will lose all his face.
This made her feel that Yang Dongxu was so unlucky. He rarely issued military orders, but he had just issued one last year and encountered such an invincible opponent this year.
"No matter what happens, life will continue!" Yang Dongxu said.
"Speak in human language!" Dai'er next to her slapped him angrily. Her Chinese was becoming more and more authentic, and not only her pronunciation standard but also her words became more and more Chinese.
Zhang Jing, who was originally worried, heard the conversation between the two, and the worry on her face gradually diminished, and she gradually became angry when she looked at Yang Dongxu.
Obviously, although she might not have expected to encounter such a powerful opponent, Yang Dongxu had obviously been prepared for it, and what he just said was obviously to scare her.
Yang Dongxu was naturally prepared. After all, others didn't know about Avatar, so it would be strange for him not to know about this movie. In addition, when they were filming Avatar, they didn't keep the release date or release date secret, so he naturally knew better that he would encounter this movie this year.
"Okay, I won't kid you, Zhu Xian is also 3D, not 2D as is generally believed." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Can Zhu Xian defeat Avatar?"
"That's enough!"
"Then how can you be so relaxed?" Zhang Jing's eyes became even more angry, and it was obvious that Yang Dongxu was still trying to pass things off.
"Well, actually I think Zhu Xian is better in the one-shot movie. Although Zhu Xian hasn't finished it yet, the special effects company is technically no worse than Avatar, so there's no reason to lose in this aspect.
In terms of story, Hollywood movies are actually stupid and crude compared to Da Mao's equipment. Especially the story content of this kind of science fiction movie is just like that. Zhu Xian will definitely beat him.
Of course, Zhuxian also has its own disadvantages. For example, the audience of China's system of cultivating immortals is definitely not as large as that of ordinary people who have been educated scientifically for so many years.
However, the limited aspects can be made up for by other means. For example, there are not many 3D theaters in China. If Avatar wants to be released in 3D in China, the amount of filming will definitely be a problem. After all, there are only so many 3D screens.
And if it is released in 2D at a lower level, it will definitely sweep the box office, but there is a loophole that can be exploited.
For example, in order to better present the 3D movie Zhu Xian to the audience, Haina has reached a cooperation with Hurricane Cinema. Hurricane Cinema will complete the upgrade of 1,000 3D screens before Zhu Xian is released.
The newly launched 1,000 3D screens will be the first to show the Zhu Xian movie. Without the 3D Avatar, the audience's ability to marvel has been reduced.
Later, when more viewers were shocked by Zhu Xian 3D first, and then looked back at Afa, their first reaction must be that Zhu Xian is awesome. This is the importance of first impressions.
So I’m not looking forward to the global box office, but I may be able to look forward to the domestic box office. I definitely can’t do it globally, but as long as I do it domestically, I’m a hero, right? "
"This is just a small trick, isn't it safe?" Dai'er said with a frown.
With the power of Avatar sweeping the global box office, this little trick is undoubtedly unattainable.
"Under normal circumstances, when facing enemies that are too powerful, this little trick will definitely be crushed. But if the quality of the two movies is not much different, and the story of Zhu Xian is more in-depth, then this little trick will be of great use.
And another point is that Zhu Xian is a series of movies. What will be released this year is not one Zhu Xian, but Zhu Xian 1 and Zhu Xian 2.
So as long as Zhu Xian 1 dominates the reputation and loses in the first half of the year, then Zhu Xian 2 in the second half of the year will be the trump card. "Yang Dongxu smiled like a chicken thief.
"Isn't it too late?" Dai'er and Zhang Jing both frowned.
But time is already very tight for Zhu Xian 1, and there is also Zhu Xian 2. It looks like a product of a rush period.
You must know that Avatar was filmed from 2005 to 2007, and the post-production was from 2007 to 2009. It took almost four years.
And Yang Dongxu produces two movies a year, which look like they are shoddy.
"Being pressed for time is inevitable, but being rushed does not necessarily mean shoddy work. There is an old saying in China: The speed at which the project is completed depends on the speed at which Party A pays the money."
"Is this an old saying?" Zhang Jing rolled her eyes. What she said just now was quite serious, but now she is talking nonsense again.
