1080. North American Premiere

Movies have always been used as commodities since their birth, or rather as business.

In fact, if Wang Yifan is willing to help with the promotion, the effect will definitely be somewhat.

But Wang Yifan did not.

Because it is unnecessary, Wang Yifan didn't know who did Ali's preview strategy.

Although the targeted broadcast of movies to specific Chinese groups can indeed make the preview reputation much better.

But this strategy itself is a huge mistake. Why?

Because Ali Media's attitude towards the movie "Infernal Affairs" and their expectations for this movie are not supported by Chinese people alone.

It can only be said that Ali Media continues to apply the domestic one to the North American market.

Because in China, most of the time during preview, we basically adopt the evaluation control model.

It is difficult for outsiders to know what the real reputation of the movie is.

But they ignored that although Chinese in North America also have many ABCs, they are different from orthodox North American audiences after all.

But they did it anyway.

Therefore, Wang Yifan was really a little suspicious. Do those who gave them this idea, or those who made this promotional strategy, have a grudge against them?

As for the media and film critics, this can only be said to be a little bit.

The movie "Infernal Affairs" is indeed the kind of movie that can be favored by film critics and media people.

Because compared to ordinary audiences, the two groups of media and film critics are actually not difficult to understand, first of all, the media.

Because Ali Media is not stingy in spending money, the media naturally will not give any bad comments after collecting the money.

As for why Ah Li thinks that the media is particularly optimistic about "Infernal Affairs"?

That's because they are professional.

Maybe I don’t understand it very much at first glance, but because I have to give a good review, I will definitely learn about the movie related things.

In fact, if you can know the theme of "Infernal Affairs", then this movie is undoubtedly a pretty good movie.

In addition, the movie itself is indeed full of tension, so the media naturally became a rare dedication.

As for film critics, what they like can never represent the market.

"Infernal Affairs" can be said to be in line with the appetite of film critics. First of all, this movie is a Chinese movie, but the themes of this movie about fate, the Hell of the Infernal Affairs, etc. have scratched the itch in these people's hearts.

Therefore, naturally, all kinds of flattery are praised.

Los Angeles Chinese Theatre.

Ali Media is really hard-working.

This time, the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be a very luxurious lineup.

Many Hollywood stars and directors came to support them.

Of course, the price paid is definitely quite expensive.

The most exciting thing is Cao Meng, Chen Dahua, Chen Qingyun and other main creative staff who came from the country.

Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun are actually better. After all, they are no longer young and have experienced the golden age of Hong Kong Island. At that time, Hong Kong Island movies were also sold in Hollywood.

In the early years, many Hong Kong stars had been living in Hollywood.

The most successful one is Cheng Hu.

Although Hong Kong movies declined later, Cheng Hu became worse in Hollywood every year, and finally had to return to China to develop.

However, for them, although they agreed with it, they were more of an attitude of losing my life and getting it.

After all, for the two of them, their age is actually difficult to make them think of going to Hollywood to develop.

After all, I am already past the age of pursuing dreams.

But Cao Meng is different.

Although Cao Meng is also a director who has come from the Golden Age of Hong Kong Island movies.

But back then, Cao Meng was not a Hollywood director who could sell his movies to Hollywood, so he was always full of yearning for North America and Hollywood.

There is no way. Once you can log in to North America, the title of international famous directors is far from comparable to that now.

Moreover, "Infernal Affairs" is indeed Cao Meng's most confident and proudest work.

In addition, this movie, the promotion it received in North America in the early stage, and the reputation it received during previews, etc., all prove that this movie is likely to be successful here.

Once successful, then Cao Meng can truly complete the transformation and become the truly unique director.

Maybe they can't be on par with people like Wang Yifan, but they are not as far away as before.

Yes, in China, Wang Yifan, Yang Long, Ma Qingshan, Chen Hang, and other directors can be said to be recognized as top-notch.

It can be said that the same is a big director, but these people are unique.

Moreover, tonight, "Infernal Affairs" was able to hold its premiere at the Los Angeles Chinese Theater, which can be said to be a recognition in itself.

You know, the Grand Theater of China is in Hollywood, but not all movies can premiere here.

And Infernal Affairs did it.

Of course, for now, no one knows Cao Meng in Hollywood at all.

In fact, there are not many Chinese directors who have succeeded in Hollywood, but most of them are ABC. There are very few who have succeeded in North America.

For example, Wang Yifan can be said to be the most successful Chinese director in North America.

There is no way, the movie "Mad Max: The Furious Road" made Wang Yifan full of popularity.

This movie can be said to be regarded as a cult classic, and the fans of this kind of movie are definitely crazy enough.

The key is that the box office of this movie is quite good, which makes people even more envious and jealous.

Moreover, to be more specific, if Wang Yifan is now directing a blockbuster in North America, then the salary will definitely be on the front line.

And if Cao Meng came to North America, no one would invite him.

There is no way, this is reality.

During this period, with the introduction of Ah Li's people, I met many "big figures" in Hollywood. However, what made Cao Meng extremely depressed and depressed.

Although these people are very polite on the surface, in fact, they are talking more about Wang Yifan.

How could Cao Meng not be angry?

So, he was frustrated, but he had already begun to look forward to it. When "Infernal Affairs" conquered the North American market, then at that time, even Wang Yifan would not need to look up to him anymore.

Just thinking that the script of the movie "Infernal Affairs" also came from Wang Yifan, Cao Meng was a little hurt.

Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's attitude and envious and jealous of his achievements, he had to admit deep down that Wang Yifan was indeed not something he could compare with.

There is no way, this is a monster. I have never failed to take action since I started working. What a terrible thing.

Movies are a high-risk and high-yield business for many people.

But in Wang Yifan's hands, this high risk has to be questioned.
