Chapter 412: Propaganda in Korea

December 28, 2009.

Seoul International Airport.

In the VIP room, Wu Yuan, who had been there for almost two hours, finally waited for a flight from Beijing to Seoul to land.

Not long after, a group of people wearing masks and hats walked into the VIP room in a low-key manner.

"Xixi, you are finally here."

Wu Yuan looked eagerly at the girl in the lead.

Although she was fully armed with sunglasses, masks and hats, Wu Yuan could still recognize her at a glance. This was his fiancée.

"How is it going? Is everything going well in China?"

"It's going well. The box office of "Along with the Gods" and "Painted Skin 2" are both very good. Now the first place in the mainland box office is "Painted Skin 2", and "Along with the Gods" ranks third."

"If there hadn't been a movie "2012", it would have taken the top two places."

"Director Zhang Yimou's new movie "Three Shots Surprise" is a big surprise. Although the box office has reached 200 million, it has received a lot of criticism on the Internet."

Liu Yifei shrugged and said helplessly: "I also went to the cinema to watch this movie."

"Really. It's hard to say."

"After watching it, I couldn't believe that this was directed by Yimou."

"It's really disappointing."

Since Wu Yuan proposed to her, Liu Yifei has been more deeply involved in Wu Yuan's career.

When Wu Yuan is not in Huaxia, she will take on the responsibility of "work assistant", helping Wu Yuan to keep an eye on the company's current situation, understand the company's operations, the current situation of competitors, etc., and sometimes she will look at some reports for him.

Of course, a copy of these reports will also be sent to Wu Yuan's mailbox for his personal review.

However, Wu Yuan's intention to train Liu Yifei is well known to everyone in the company.

Her husband has a big company and is very busy at work, so he must train his wife to share some of the work pressure.

Liu Yifei is doing well.

She is still very smart, and after being with Wu Yuan for so many years, she is still competent as an assistant.

"Three Shots Surprise!"

Wu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed: "This movie is indeed not the work of Director Yimou, but was promoted by Zhang Weiping."

"No matter what, the audience has always "accepted everything" for Zhang Yimou's movies, and it is expected that the box office performance of this movie will not be bad, but it is also expected that it will be criticized afterwards."

"I guess Director Yimou was mentally prepared when he made this movie."

Zhang Weiping, the producer of this movie, tried every possible publicity trick when shooting the movie. In addition to using Xiao Shenyang, Yan Ni, and Sun Honglei who became famous in the Spring Festival Gala, he also created several topics.

First, the female lead "changed the role", then it was revealed that Xiao Shenyang and Sun Honglei were not in harmony, and then he revealed that Director Zhang Yimou would work with Xiao Shenyang to sing the ending song of the movie.

He used all means to make this movie get a high box office when it was first released.

As for word of mouth?

Didn't Zhang Yimou know that this movie was a bad movie?

Of course he knew.

Some people on the Internet said that Zhang Yimou was forced to shoot by Zhang Weiping with a knife on his neck.

Although Zhang Weiping really likes to interfere with Zhang Yimou's filming, he is not really forced to shoot bad movies by Zhang Weiping.

The reason why there is this "Three Shots Surprise" is that Zhang Yimou himself was persuaded by Zhang Weiping.

Because of the Olympic Games, Zhang Weiping's new picture has not started for two years, and it is crying for food, so he is playing a pity in front of Zhang Yimou, and urgently needs Zhang Yimou to come up with a low-cost but high-grossing movie to generate income for the company.

Zhang Yimou can't beat him. After all, they have been "good brothers" for many years. He really can't bear to see Zhang Weiping's company "starving", so Zhang Yimou postponed the preparation of the art film "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" which seems to have low profits, and temporarily launched this "Three Shots Surprise".

From the beginning of the project, this film was aimed at selling box office, and Xiao Shenyang was pulled in to shoot it just to convert his Spring Festival Gala fame into money.

Zhang Yimou also knew that the film would be criticized after its release.

Although Zhang Yimou did not say it, there was still a crack in his heart that Zhang Weiping had damaged his reputation to make money for the company.

The cooperation between the two Zhangs for more than ten years was about to part ways.

"This is Director Zhang's own choice. We outsiders don't need to comment too much." Wu Yuan shook his head and said to Liu Yifei: "Let's go. We will start the promotion of "Goblin" tomorrow."

He looked around the VIP room. There were quite a few people who came to Seoul from China this time.

In addition to the two leading actors Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, there were several executives from Guangying Kuaibo and some staff from the company's publicity department, a total of nearly 20 people.

The promotion of "Goblin" is an important task for the two actors Yang Mi and Liu Yifei to expand their popularity in Asia.

And for Guangying Kuaibo and Guangying Times, it is also an important project for the company's business to go overseas.

Both parties are now full of fighting spirit and ready to fight a big battle to go overseas!

Look, Wu Yuan, the head of both companies, has sold his body to play the leading male role!

In the evening, Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi met up with the Korean leading actors of "Goblin" at the hotel.

Not to mention how Yang Mi and Li Dongxu's eyes were drawn, the Korean actors were excited to see Wu Yuan again.

After everyone got together, the first stop was the recording studio of tvN TV station.

For the TV series "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God", tvN specially opened a new TV column, similar to an artist interview program, inviting the leading actors of its own TV series to promote their new drama.

In South Korea, the three major free TV stations dominate the Korean TV series market, and other cable pay stations have no capital or appeal to make TV series.

tvN and the CJ Group behind it have the courage to open up the TV series market and cooperate with a large film and television company from China. This matter itself is enough to become a hot topic in South Korea.

Now that "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" is about to be broadcast, the leading actors of the crew have come to Seoul, South Korea again, which naturally attracted the attention and interviews of many Korean media.

Apart from anything else, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei are still very well-known in South Korea.

In addition, the production company of Light and Shadow Times is also well-known in the Korean industry.

You know, every one of Zhang Guorong's movies has been released in South Korea, and has attracted millions of viewers!

"Along with the Gods" is still preparing for its release in South Korea, and it is expected to be released in South Korea on a large scale at the end of January.

"Painted Skin 2" also relied on the fame of its predecessor in South Korea, and was scheduled earlier than "Along with the Gods". It will be released in South Korea on January 10!

The production company behind these two movies, "Light and Shadow Era", has long been famous in South Korea.

Now "Light and Shadow Fast Broadcast", a brother company of Light and Shadow Era, has come to explore the Korean market with the TV series "Goblin", which has caused a turmoil in the entire Korean entertainment industry!

It was the day after Wu Yuan and others arrived in South Korea.

All major newspapers in South Korea, without any prior agreement, published the news of their arrival as the headlines of the next day's newspapers in the most eye-catching position!
