Chapter 1229 Killing two birds with one stone
Jiang Tang’s vacation is over.
Now she has the script of Alfred's new film in her hand. According to the contract she has signed, she will join the group in September in the second half of the year. There are very few people who know about this news.
Before joining the group, there was a bigger thing that squeezed Jiang Tang's attention—
"Crimson World" will be released globally in the summer season!
The exact release news was announced in the last issue of Jiang Tang’s travel notes series vlog. She explained the reason why her vacation came to an end and shared with her fans the next new work.
For example, film promotions, roadshows, etc., she is a director, investor, and starring role. She cannot be absent.
This news naturally attracted a large number of fans to be curious. Her and Cizel's travel vlog series had attracted more than 100 million yuan worldwide. If Jiang Tang hadn't been short of money and didn't want to advertise, she could have completed the free life in many people's dreams by shooting vlogs alone.
It can be said that the only time Jiang Tang shared an advertisement in Vlog was to "Crimson World", which naturally attracted explosive attention to her new movie.
Therefore, the number of people who said they wanted to buy tickets to enter the cinema increased sharply. The number of people who wanted to watch this movie on some platforms also directly added a zero to the back, squeezing a certain blockbuster that will be released at the same time, ranking first in popularity.
Even Gao Yue was so happy that Jiang Tang's words saved the movie how much publicity money!
Jiang Tang disagrees with this. How can his own affairs be called publicity? This is sharing!
She was open-minded and generous, and didn't agree, but it was not necessarily true that she fell into some sour eyes.
They just like they caught Jiang Tang's handle, shouting that Jiang Tang was shooting vlogs to attract traffic to the movie! It was a scam! It was a secret!
Jiang Tang: So what?
Netizens: So what?
It’s enough to smile at the sarcastic family, no one really takes it seriously. After all, the summer season is close to you. Whether Jiang Tang’s photoshoots are garbage or a masterpiece, you can tell by experiencing the real gold and fire!
However, in terms of current momentum, most people are not optimistic. The relevant platform is estimated to have a box office of less than 500 million for Jiang Tang, which invested hundreds of millions of yuan. According to the three-fold law, it is not enough to even make a return.
The platform's estimated box office for a big director and big production that competed with her at the same time was 2.5 billion yuan, which is five times hers.
Some experts who predicted the box office also said that Jiang Tang's movies looked pretty good at the moment, but then they used the word "but" to turn things around. Barabala said a lot of reasons not to be optimistic.
If the audience who were originally interested in this movie had to watch these experts, they would probably give up the idea of entering the cinema.
There are also some unscrupulous marketing accounts who deliberately used Jiang Tang's "Crimson World" to attract more battles. The movie invited a big name, with a luxurious and famous lineup, including Zhao Ziqi, the old rival of photographer Xu Yao.
After this comparison, many people think that Jiang Tang, as a junior, is simply overestimating her abilities compared to her seniors, and even thinks that her behavior is to take advantage of the popularity and further dispel the idea of entering the cinema.
——Jiang Tang saw all this.
She knew that as an actor, she had a strong audience base, but from the director, she needed to start all of her, and she had already prepared for this.
But this does not mean that she has to wait for a lot of open and secret moves to kill herself. She simply put together with Gao Yue to change the starting strategy and use the form of word-of-mouth to drive box office to conduct marketing.
This is also a confidence in their relatively good movie quality.
Jiang Tang simply held a grand premiere in the imperial capital of China. Relying on the connections accumulated in the circle over the years, he invited a group of friends and big names to attend, including directors who have worked with Jiang Tang, including Wang Qingyuan and Qiu Han.
Not only that, she also sent the invitation letter to Anderson and Alfred abroad. Both of them had a good personal relationship with her and had taught Jiang Tang about the director's shooting. Therefore, this premiere was not called the premiere, but the graduation work. The directors did not come to attend the school, but the teachers took the exam.
After changing his words, Anderson and Alfred really had no reason to refuse and happily agreed to go.
After that, Jiang Tang sent other invitations to Hollywood, some close to her and some ordinary relationship with her, but after hearing that Anderson and Alfred would come, these people all accepted the invitation.
After just a few rounds, Jiang Tang's premiere lineup was as star-studded as an international film festival, and even the premiere lineup of "Watchmen 3" last summer was not as good as this time.
Of course, Jiang Tang would not give up this good opportunity. It just so happened that she and Qiu Han had been discussing some time ago that they wanted to take the lead in hosting the International Independent Film Festival in China. The goal was to align with Cannes, Berlin and Venice to become a truly world-influential film festival.
Although their ideas are good, they have received a lot of resistance and support in real implementation, and more of them are hindered. Because the relationships in the film industry are mixed, many older generations enjoy the comfort of the present, and are unwilling to take risks anymore, and are even more unwilling to bet on the present for a illusory Chinese film future.
It can be said that Jiang Tang and Qiu Han’s plan is difficult to move forward. From the time the two reached an agreement, almost two years have passed, and there is still no progress in this matter.
Jiang Tang held a premiere for his movie this time, and on the other hand, he also saw the opportunity of the film festival they were preparing for.
She followed the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity that many international big-name movie stars would come to China. After the premiere, she held a film exchange meeting at the China Film Academy, which laid the groundwork for the later independent film festival.
She entrusted this matter to Professor He Yu, which was a troublesome for Professor He Yu, but it was more of an opportunity, and it was an opportunity for her to be very likely to be famous in the history of Chinese films!
He Yu was grateful and relieved. He recalled the scene when he first met Jiang Tang, and sighed countless times that he had been fortunate enough to accept the student.
Please let Professor He Yu do the next thing, so you can do it safely without worrying.
Jiang Tang here informed several major directors who are key figures that they are very different in terms of film styles, but they are surprisingly consistent in this issue.
Of course you have to go!
Or at their level, there are more issues to consider, no longer limited to the awards and box office of movies, but focus on the future of the entire industry.
Chapter completed!
