298【Media Interview】
"Okay, you've done a good job. Everyone will receive double bonuses this month." Ye Jin encouraged.
"I will thank Mr. Ye on behalf of everyone." Guo Zhenghong quickly bowed and smiled when he heard this.
"Well, let the public relations department send out the news of my return this time." Ye Jin ordered again, "Pick up a few more heavyweight media and arrange for an exclusive interview. Don't have too many, too many are easy to get overdo."
"Yes." Guo Zhenghong nodded and smiled, "Mr. Ye, the news of your return to Xiangjiang will definitely cause a sensation."
"It's not difficult to cause a sensation. The key is how to achieve the best publicity effect and how to continue to attract the public's attention. This is something that the Public Relations Department needs to think carefully about." Ye Jin smiled, "Now I have brought out the best news, don't waste this opportunity."
"I will remind them, Mr. Ye." Guo Zhenghong nodded.
"That's fine." Ye Jin nodded, "By the way, this is the script of my new drama. Please help me find everyone except the male protagonist, the female protagonist, the second male protagonist, and the third male. Is there any problem to solve it within five days?"
Guo Zhenghong took it and took a look at it roughly, then shook his head, "No problem."
There are only a dozen famous actors in this script, so it is easy to arrange them. The staff behind the scenes can just go directly to Jiahe.
"Then I'll leave it all to you." Ye Jin nodded and said.
...
The news that Ye Jin returned to Xiangjiang was immediately sent out by Myth Film, which quickly attracted the attention of Xiangjiang media.
The next day, major newspapers published the news on the entertainment page headlines, and even newspapers directly published it on the newspaper headlines.
After the news was logged out, it did cause a sensation in society as Guo Zhenghong expected.
On the one hand, Ye Jin achieved amazing results in Yameica.
"Dragon Hard Boy" won a box office of 35 million US dollars in the first round of release. This result is much higher than Bruce Lee's "Dragon and Tiger Fight".
35 million US dollars, about 280 million Hong Kong dollars. You know, the total box office of the Hong Kong movies last year was less than 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, Ye Jin's achievement was so eye-catching that it was beyond the reach of Hong Kong movies in Hong Kong.
This achievement is among the best in Hollywood, which greatly enhances Hong Kong people's face, so everyone is naturally happy. Just like Liu Xiang broke the world record of 110 meters in the Olympics that year, people across the country felt honored.
Moreover, Ye Jin has also achieved amazing results in the Asian American music scene.
"all about you" single record sold 600,000 copies, which was equivalent to 12 platinum sales in Xiangjiang. This result was really terrifying. At that time, the best-selling singer was Xu Rongjie, and his record sales record was only double platinum (113,000 copies). Ye Jin's record sales were nearly six times that of his.
Forget it if you act well in the movie, but you sing well. It’s naturally admirable for you to be talented.
On the other hand, the people were also curious about the reason why Ye Jin returned to Xiangjiang.
Should I only come back to see, or do I film a new movie, what type of new movie will be, and how long will it take to be released... Everyone is very concerned. Just like every year, movie fans will pay attention to those top movie stars, such as Shen Xuan, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo will release new movies.
...
The media has always been moved by the news and think about what the people think.
Soon, the media hoped to interview Ye Jin's invitation, and sent it to Myth Film like snowflakes, even the phone number from the public relations department was blew up.
Because Ye Jin has been in Hollywood for half a year and has achieved such good results, he must have many unknown experiences.
This is his first time back to Xiangjiang, and these experiences have not been mentioned yet. Therefore, whoever gets the first opportunity to get the interview will be able to sell the most.
After screening, the Public Relations Department finally chose Oriental Daily. In order to interview Ye Jin as soon as possible, it not only gave an interview fee of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, but also promised that Myth Film will do promotion in the future and all advertising fees will be 10% off.
Such conditions exceed all other media, and the "Oriental Daily" is the newspaper with the largest circulation in Xiangjiang, which is definitely a heavyweight.
Therefore, Ye Jin's first interview was first published by the Oriental Daily.
...
The interview was held in the office of Myth Film and Ye Jin.
"Mr. Ye, your movie "Dragon Hard Boy" achieved 35 million US dollars in its first round of release in Hollywood. It's really great. Congratulations!" A reporter from the Oriental Daily said with a smile.
"Thank you." Ye Jin nodded.
"Your movie is said to be a collaboration between you and Warner Pictures?" The reporter looked at Ye Jin and nodded when he saw him, then continued to ask, "Then how did your cooperation begin?"
Ye Jin then told about how he asked Jiahe for help, how to agree on cooperation conditions with Warner Pictures, how to modify the script, how to select actors, how to shoot, how to promote, how to publish, etc.
Of course, these experiences have been beautified. Ye Jin didn't say anything about the grievances he suffered in the early stage and the rolling eyes.
The reporter kept remembering that after an hour, he wrote a full twelve pieces of paper, enough to do at least four issues of serial reports.
"Why do you think your movie is so popular?" the reporter asked curiously, "As far as I know, Hong Kong movies are exported to America, and they can only be screened in Chinatown or Black People's Community Cinemas, and their box offices are very bleak."
"I think the story is in line with the taste of the Americans." Ye Jin explained with a smile, "The Dragon Wild Boy" tells the story of a boy who learned to work hard under the guidance of his master, defeated strong enemies and won respect.
This story has a very [American Dream] color, and it also adds elements such as love, campus bullying, singing and dancing, which is more in line with the social hot spots of America, so it is popular with young people."
The reporter nodded in agreement.
After the hero was humiliated, he practiced martial arts and eventually defeated a powerful enemy... Such routines appear in almost every Hong Kong-made kung fu film, which is not new.
However, the story background of the Kung Fu films in Xiangjiang took place in ancient times, and even the hot topics in Xiangjiang society were not in line with each other, let alone the hot topics in the Amerika society. Therefore, it is inevitable that the Amerika people are not interested.
"Mr. Ye, do you think your trip to Hollywood will be successful? What do you think your biggest gain will be?" the reporter asked curiously again.
"This Hollywood trip was generally smooth. Although the process was slightly twists and turns, the ending was quite satisfactory." Ye Jin smiled, "I think the biggest gain is that my knowledge and experience have been improved.
Xiangjiang is just a small market, with an annual box office of only HK$70 million. However, the size of the film market in Asiatica is US$2.5 billion, a huge difference of hundreds of times. Different markets, different platforms, and naturally different visions. I also hope that the stars in Xiangjiang can go out for more trips."
"Then will you help them get out?" the reporter asked immediately.
"Of course, I have no choice but to do so." Ye Jin nodded and smiled.
