1079. The curtain is about to open?
Under normal circumstances, the promotion of a movie is continuous.
The more popular the movie is, the more the publicity it needs to keep up with.
But, just like Wang Yifan said.
Why did he have to be a villain in vain?
Even if his original intention is good, others don’t appreciate it.
Therefore, Wang Yifan did not object.
This made people feel that Wang Yifan also compromised and admitted in disguise that his vision had deviated.
Of course, this is what an insider thinks.
Others will only think that Wang Yifan is also optimistic about the release of "Infernal Affairs" in North America!
In order to create momentum for the release promotion.
Ali Media has really tried this time.
A grand premiere was held at North America's most famous Grand Theater.
After all, Imperial Cinema is the second-ranked theater in the world, and it is deeply rooted in North America. Although Ah Li is not well-known in the film and television industry, she is an Internet giant in China after all.
So there is still face.
Originally, Ali hoped that Wang Yifan could come forward to help "Infernal Affairs" promote "Infernal Affairs" in North America, but Wang Yifan directly refused.
Whether it is Ali Media, Times Light and Shadow, or even Cao Meng and others have some complaints about Wang Yifan.
There is nothing else, because no matter how Wang Yifan is, he is also one of the beneficiaries of this movie, and he himself is the screenwriter of this movie.
So, normally, he should need to cooperate with the publicity.
But Wang Yifan refused.
Don’t say anything, Cao Meng is very grateful to Wang Yifan for giving him the opportunity. In fact, Cao Meng was indeed grateful to Wang Yifan before.
After all, without Wang Yifan, there would be no "Dark War" and no "Infernal Affairs" are the two films that are known as the revival of Hong Kong films.
But people always change.
Especially with the success of "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" one after another.
The outside world praised Cao Meng in various ways.
Wang Yifan's role has been greatly diluted.
Because whether it is "Dark War" or "Infernal Affairs", they are all Hong Kong film styles. Other mainland directors may not be able to make such films.
In addition, the intentional or unintentional fuel caused by Ah Li and Times Light and Shadow, Cao Meng naturally had the idea that without Wang Yifan, I would do the same.
Of course, despite this, Cao Meng was not so exaggerated.
After all, in the country, Wang Yifan is definitely an insurmountable mountain, at least in the scope of commercial films.
However, "Infernal Affairs" has gained a very high reputation in North America preview, and media critics are unanimously optimistic. There are still so many Hollywood companies that want to compete for the adaptation rights.
It made Cao Meng feel that the weather was clear and the rain stopped, and I was OK again!
This is all his credit, isn't it?
The role of screenwriter may play a great role in films that are responsible for screenwriters, but Wang Yifan is actually not a single screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs".
What he gave was more stories.
As we all know, stories are stories and movies are movies.
The director's script and the story script are completely different.
So, Cao Meng was drifting.
He wants to become an international famous director. Wang Yifan is powerful and has a support for me, but he can't be so arrogant, right?
He just asked him to cooperate with the publicity, but he actually refused.
Of course, he couldn't say these complaints at this time.
In fact, this is also the helplessness of Ali and Cao Meng.
There is no way, "Infernal Affairs" is a full-Chinese team.
The key is that only Wang Yifan enjoys a certain reputation in North America, the main creator in "Infernal Affairs".
After all, "Mad Max: The Furious Road" has indeed brought Wang Yifan a lot of fans in North America.
This movie has nothing to do with people you don’t like, but the people you like regard it as a classic!
Therefore, if Wang Yifan is willing to help promote it, it will definitely have a very good boost to the release of "Infernal Affairs" in North America.
But Wang Yifan refused.
However, this does not prevent them from using Wang Yifan as the screenwriter of this movie as a promotional stunt. If the effect is not good, it will be a shame.
Because Wang Yifan himself was not present, it is actually easy for people to associate. Is Wang Yifan not optimistic about this movie?
However, even if you are dissatisfied for the time being, whether it is Ali or Cao Meng, it is impossible for you to announce it at this time.
Wang Yifan didn't care at all.
Is "Infernal Affairs" a good movie? Of course it is.
However, in his previous life, this movie was not even officially released in North America.
It's enough to illustrate many problems in itself.
It’s not because the movies are not excellent enough, but because some movies are only suitable for local areas.
"Infernal Affairs" is like this kind of movie.
Therefore, Wang Yifan dares to say that the possibility of "Infernal Affairs" being released in North America is almost ignored.
In fact, although the situation in "Infernal Affairs" seems to be very good, in fact, the scale of its distribution is really average.
So, it's actually a bit embarrassing.
Wang Yifan knew the distribution scale of "Infernal Affairs" in North America.
The premiere has only 500 theaters.
Yes, it seems that it doesn't match the reputation I have created before, right?
But in fact, this is really a good scale for a "external film" like "Infernal Affairs".
Is Ali Media really as confident as they show?
Actually, it may not be.
Can Ali Film and Television Distribution Company really only win such small-scale painting treatment for "Infernal Affairs"?
Obviously not.
No matter what, Ah Li is also the owner of the Imperial Cinema. Only opening paintings on such a small scale means that the theater people are not so optimistic about this movie.
Of course, this is the normal treatment of all "foreign films" in Hollywood.
It's not a good idea or not.
If it is a European movie, it is actually relatively better, after all, the same race and skin color.
But "Infernal Affairs" is a full-Chinese movie lineup.
So it's no wonder.
But no matter what, Ali Media did show off her muscles this time regardless of the cost.
The momentum is indeed quite large.
You should know that the Chinese Grand Theater Cinema in Los Angeles alone has to pay a considerable price to hold a premiere here.
The premiere itself is not low.
Especially Ali, an outsider, will definitely pay a good price to prepare the premiere.
The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" in North America can be said to be a focus of countless people in China.
Many domestic media have sent reporters to North America to get first-hand information.
A curtain seems to be about to kick off.
Although Ali Media failed in its previous big data movie strategy, it was covered in dust.
But I have to say that Ali Media is indeed rich and powerful.
The big data movie strategy caused Ah Li to lose at least hundreds of millions, but without blinking, he just made an even more exaggerated shot.
An acquisition case with a scale of more than 10 billion Chinese coins is just around the corner.
Then he came up with such a globalization strategy for films.
So, it must be the best!
Chapter completed!
