The publicity campaign for Parasite was terrible.
Even if the host used a hysterical voice to maintain the heat of the entire stage, it was completely unable to stop the surging waves of enthusiasm from the other side, and then...
The host's voice finally began to become hoarse.
Although the helicopter overhead was dazzling and created a little shadow on their side from time to time, director Jin Shengkai forced a smile to maintain his own dignity.
He is a great director!
The great director cannot show any other expression at this moment.
Li Minghao's mind was filled with all kinds of alpaca sounds.
They were supposed to be the protagonists, but now they have become supporting roles just watching the fun.
Regardless of whether it was the company's intention or it was deliberately promoted just to attract attention...
In short, Li Minghao felt like he was slapped in the face.
Also, it's very hot.
The publicity plan completely collapsed.
Looking at the people opposite him, he felt like a joke.
You said this is not Lu Yuan's era anymore?
"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan!"
“…”
Listen, what's that sound outside?
Outside the Seoul Central Stadium, a large group of fanatical fans held up billboards with Lu Yuan’s portrait and kept cheering Lu Yuan’s name.
It didn’t matter even if Lu Yuan had never arrived at the scene and they couldn’t enter the stadium.
Every cheer seemed to tell him that he, Li Minghao, was a fool.
You said Lu Yuanjiang has run out of ideas?
Under the camera, you have just started promoting "Parasite", and the crew of "Batman 2" took out Lu Yuan's new script "Parasite" to compete with you without saying a word...
Is this a sign of running out of ideas?
The same stadium, the same film promotion, but at this moment they are two different concepts.
Fatty Wei glanced at "Parasite" inadvertently, and then smiled unconsciously.
Still have bad mouth?
Can you just take advantage of A Yuan’s popularity?
Do you want to play?
Can I just play with you to the end?
At this moment, he actually had a kind of evil taste of a lonely master bullying others.
…
There is no harm without comparison.
Although "Batman 2" did not stay in South Korea for long before moving on to the next destination, since the appearance of "Batman 2", the promotion of "Parasite" has really been like a joke.
Many netizens are mocking the promotion of "Parasite" as being like a chaotic market, and no one knows what is going on...
When the top executives of MK Company saw the sparse publicity scene of "Parasite" and the extremely crazy atmosphere of "Batman 2", they were so angry that their eyes almost popped out...
This cost a lot of money!
but……
They were at a loss for a moment.
What made them even more angry was what happened next. After the promotion in Korea, posters for Batman 2 suddenly appeared next to the posters for Parasite overnight. At the same time, there was a line of words written on the posters: "Here I come! Wait for me!" This line of words, coupled with Lu Yuan's bloodshot eyes, looked extremely attractive.
Everyone wants to know what kind of story this is!
In this story, Lu Yuan seems to be a villain?
Could it be that, as the rumors said, Lu Yuan really played the clown?
This, this is such a huge gap between how Lu Yuan appears in everyone's mind.
The popularity of "Parasite" in major Korean media outlets plummeted instantly, and its level of attention continued to fall.
Like a novel, or a movie.
Some people are destined to be the protagonists, while others are destined to be supporting roles.
There is no doubt that "Parasite" is just a supporting role...
It was destined to become a pile of bones after it collided with "Batman 2".
certainly……
The world promotion of "Batman 2" was something no one could have imagined.
This movie broke the usual inactive promotion style of "long-distance" movies and extremely abnormally began to be promoted in circles around the world, with Fatty Wei himself leading the promotion.
What does this mean?
Many people can’t figure it out.
Lu Yuan’s reputation itself is a world-class appeal, is it necessary to do this?
Even if you take it seriously, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?
At the second stop, R station, Fatty Wei smiled at the fans who were cheering wildly below.
"Some people say this is superfluous and totally unnecessary."
"Because, this is not even the icing on the cake, it's more like adding unnecessary details..."
"After all, Mr. Lu Yuan's popularity around the world is unparalleled..."
“But I still insisted on doing it!”
"Why?"
"Because this Batman 2 movie will be an unforgettable movie in your life. It will surpass Mr. Lorraine's Titanfall! It will have a place among the four legendary American movies! I will sing praises for it and sing praises for it in every country I pass through!"
“…”
When Fatty Wei said this, he did not hide his ambition at all, like a fanatical brainwashing madman.
There were waves of applause, excited cheers, and screams!
In fact, he always believed that one day he would stand in a glorious position in the history of world cinema.
I have always believed this!
At the same time, he believes that his "Batman 2" can break one billion US dollars and become the second most profitable movie among the four Hollywood movies after "War and Roses". He even thinks it can surpass "Star Wars"...
No reason...
Just because Lu Yuan starred in Batman 2, and...
The acting is explosive and touches the soul!
He doesn't want to miss any possibility of breaking the record!
…
I have to admit that Fatty Wei's voice is really exciting.
It's also very brainwashing.
In November, various quotes about Fatty Wei's ambitions appeared in film circles around the world.
Wei Changjun, who came out of the hospital, silently watched Fatty Wei cheering in the video.
He couldn't help but nodded.
He suddenly found that he had no regrets in his life.
My son did not inherit my mantle, but he grew up!
He walked a path of his own, and even at this moment, he has surpassed himself.
Hollywood movies used to be unparalleled and supreme among the Chinese people.
And now...
Unconsciously, among the four Hollywood movies, only one, "War and Roses", was included.
The other three films...
They are all "remote" movies!
…
In the crew of "La La Land", old man Nino looked up at the rankings of four Hollywood movies.
Before I knew it, three movies were “remote” movies.
Then, he turned to Fatty Wei's promotional video for "Batman 2".
When Nino saw Fatty Wei speaking on the stage, he closed his eyes.
Somehow, I felt endless emotion in my heart.
"Those top Hollywood movies may all be labeled 'remote'..."
"I don't know how long "War and Roses" can last..."
"Also, there are many classic movies..."
“…”
He suddenly began to talk to himself.
…
"Batman 2" swept the whole world like a frenzy.
The once confident Hollywood is now shrouded in an indescribable sense of dissatisfaction.
However, perhaps because they were scared by Lu Yuan's pressure, at this moment, no movie came out to compete with "Batman 2". Even when they saw that "Batman 2" would be released in December, other Hollywood movies began to change their release dates.
Apart from the silly "Parasite", no one wants to bump into "Batman 2"!
They have learned their lesson.
They don't want to be a stepping stone or a so-called victim!
Although Lu Yuan has been extremely low-key in Hollywood these days, no reporter even knows what Lu Yuan is doing day by day.
but……
The more this happens, the more panicked people in Hollywood become.
This person is really notorious.
Whoever goes against him will be in trouble.
The story of how Lu Yuan sang Andrew to death at his concert is still making headlines.
so……
Who will touch this brow?
Of course, some senior executives of major Hollywood companies did become obedient, but some young directors with dreams felt extremely humiliated.
In Hollywood, three out of every four American movies were produced by Lu Yuan’s company!
Hollywood was once high and mighty, a place that was regarded as the temple of world cinema.
But now it is remotely contaminated...
If this isn’t humiliation, what is?
"At least, 'War and Roses' is unsurpassed!"
After seeing this scene, many veteran directors could only use this sentence to comfort these young directors.
"War and Roses" is the last facade of Hollywood movies.
but……
How long can this last facade of Hollywood last?
How high will the menacing "Batman 2" reach?
…
high?
Does this have anything to do with me?
Lu Yuan was in a bad mood at this moment.
The filming of Titanic was delayed again.
He broke his promise to Kate.
There is really no way to recover in one day.
The character of the clown is poisonous and has poisoned Lu Yuan badly.
Lu Yuan tried many times, but he couldn't completely get rid of the clown role for a while...
At the same time, the role of Jack, the protagonist of "Titanic", was so important that Lu Yuan did not dare to try rashly...
What can he do?
He must play this role at his best.
So when "Batman 2" was about to usher in a wave of craze, Lu Yuan was silently working hard to recover.
He didn't know how long it would take...
November 20th.
Another evening.
Lu Yuan's private phone rang.
Lu Yuan was stunned.
Only Wang Jinxue knows this private phone number.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Jinxue would not call this number.
"Lu Yuan, didn't I bother you?"
"No, Jinxue, what's wrong?"
"The children have been born for a year and a month... It's a little late for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, but should we do it? Mr. Mike, Mr. Edward, Mr. Jester and others have called me to ask about it... After thinking about it, I still want to ask you, they really want the children to worship them as their teachers."
"Catch it, I'll be back soon, I'll book a flight now!"
“…”
When I think of the children's appearance...
Lu Yuan unconsciously grinned and began to smile foolishly...
What will the children do in the future?
So exciting!
