Chapter 2659 Film Critics

In three days, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be released in the West. Now the Western film industry is clearly behind the scenes and instigating Western reporters to block "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to prevent Lin Feng from continuing to be arrogant. Especially Sony Columbia.

, Paramount and other established film companies that support Oscars are even more undercurrent. They have long bribed newspapers from all walks of life in the West to prevent them from reporting any news related to "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Lin Feng is too arrogant, I want him to have a taste of being ignored this time!" Deyuki Ibuka, vice president of Sony Columbia Pictures, smiled grimly.

In the past few years, since the establishment of Lin Feng's film company, especially since Lin Feng and Ellison teamed up to acquire 55 movie screens in the United States, life for companies like "Sony Columbia" has not been so comfortable. The movies they invested in

, in addition to well-known blockbusters, other low-budget movies that can make a lot of money often turn out to be uninterested, because Lin Feng and Ellison's "Forest Screening Hall" simply does not play these unknown movies.

Unless it's a super masterpiece, a masterpiece that everyone in the audience knows, they only show their own movies.

This makes established film companies such as Sony, Columbia and Paramount very depressed. But now the market resources are in the hands of Lin Feng and Ellison, and both of them are not short of money. If they have their own movies, they will release them.

If not, we will play old movies. In short, we will never play movies from Sony, Columbia and other companies, unless they are blockbusters. The two people's attitude of not being short of money really makes Sony, Columbia and other companies depressed. These two guys are not short of money, but they are not.

Money. Although I want to be tough and prevent their movies from being played in the "Forest Screening Room", they occupy 55% of the movie screens in the United States. If you don't show them, not only 55% of customers will be lost, but at least 30% of customers will be lost.

That's tens of millions of dollars in revenue, and if it's a blockbuster movie, it could be hundreds of millions.

In desperation, Sony, Columbia and other companies had no choice but to increase their efforts to promote movies, let as many Americans as possible know about these low-cost movies, and let the pressure of public opinion force the "Forest Screening Hall" to play them. However, in this way,

Although they succeeded in getting the "Forest Screening Hall" to play their low-cost movies, after the advertising, sometimes the small costs turned into large costs, which was really not cost-effective from a profit perspective.

However, they control the terminal market in the world, and they are not short of money. What can you do! They have been holding back this tone. Finally, this time, they seized an opportunity. "Legend of Sword and Fairy",

They want this movie to fail in the Western market, and then they can severely humiliate Lin Feng and vent their anger.

"Boss, according to the news from the United States, the major film companies have secretly contacted all the media and are preparing to freeze your movie. This time they will not even criticize, and will adopt a completely indifferent attitude. If you want people to watch it,

, I’m afraid this promotion will cost a lot of advertising money.” After Lin Chiling summarized the news in the world, she reported to Lin Feng

"Haha, I didn't expect these film companies to give up, but it's no wonder that they were fixed by Ellison and I. If they didn't retaliate, they wouldn't be them anymore." Lin Feng heard this, not only was he not worried, but he laughed.

laughing out loud.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Lin Chiling asked.

Although Lin Feng and Ellison control the movie screens in the United States 55 and can force the broadcast without paying attention to anyone, the question is, if there is no publicity, will the audience come to watch? Of course, there must be people watching, but

I'm afraid the box office may not be good. After all, Americans are always very picky when watching movies. They usually have a movie rating guide to watch based on this. After all, there are too many movies in the United States in a year, and the ratings of all movies are

The posters are so attractive that the audience is numb to them.

How to choose a good movie so that they will not waste so much money to watch it has become an extremely difficult choice for all American audiences. Therefore, some corresponding rating agencies were born.

These organizations will rate all movies, and then viewers will choose the type of movies they like to watch based on their own tastes, and then select movies based on the ratings.

Nowadays, the United States does not rate or comment at all, so American audiences have no way of knowing whether the movie is good or not. No matter how beautiful the poster is, it is useless. There are many better-looking posters, but the content turns out to be shoddy.

How many. The American audience is numb to the posters. If you want to promote "Legend of Sword and Fairy", you will have to carry out a lot of publicity through TV media and other media.

Now, the American media is not unwilling to publicize, but the price has increased 10 times. This time, Sony, Columbia and other companies did not do anything, and did not ask the media not to help Lin Feng promote it. They just want to promote it, 10 times the price. You Lin Feng

If you have money and want to promote this movie, then you have to pay 10 times the price. And if this is the case, Lin Chiling has calculated that if you want to promote a movie to everyone in the United States, you will need at least 70 million.

The advertising fee is about US$100 million. And now if the price is 10 times, that is US$700 million. Lin Feng can afford this money, but if he is blackmailed like this, wouldn't Lin Feng be too stupid?

Therefore, Lin Chiling is really distressed at the moment. Even if Lin Feng owns "News Group", the main markets of "News Group" are in the UK and Australia, and are already mayors in Europe. Although there are also several heavyweight newspapers and TV stations in the US market

, but compared with its dominant position in Europe, the influence of "News Group" in the United States is much smaller. What's more, "News Group" has many newspapers, but not many TV stations. In the United States, there is only one Fox TV station

.Although the ratings are very high, it still cannot help Lin Feng promote "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to everyone.

"Haha, don't worry. Publicity is necessary, but you don't necessarily need to go to TV stations to advertise heavily." Lin Feng smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Lin Chiling asked expectantly.

"Haha, it's very simple, invite celebrities!" Lin Feng laughed.

On the first day, Ms. JK Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter", wrote an article about her review of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

I was honored to be invited by a Chinese friend to China to watch "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower". I originally had great doubts about such a movie, which is known as the masterpiece of oriental fantasy movies.

Attitude. After all, I have watched some movies like this in order to find the feeling of "Harry Potter", but to be honest, those movies are all exaggerated, without any logic, and cannot be understood at all. But this time, watching

"Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Demon Locking Tower" made me feel ashamed of the simple and even a bit vulgar (compared to "Legend of Sword and Fairy") magic systems in "Harry Potter".

After watching "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Magic Tower", I think I should reset the magic system in "Harry Potter" to make it more complete and logical. In

Here, I recommend everyone to watch "Legend of Sword and Fairy". There are already two movies. I believe everyone will make the trip worthwhile!" jk-Law Lin talked eloquently in his column.

"Harry Potter" of the East, this was JK Rowling's final slogan for "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Lin Feng was dissatisfied with this, thinking that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was both story-driven and content-heavy.

Magic system, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" all beat "Harry Potter", but this time it was Lin Feng who asked JK Rollin to write his review of the movie, so JK Rollin's personal wishes must be respected, not Lin's.

Feng imposed his will. Therefore, when jk-Luo Lin made such comments, Lin Feng could only feel dissatisfied in his heart, but could not show it on his face.

But no matter whether Lin Feng feels comfortable or not, JK-Law Lin’s evaluation, at least in the West, there are a lot more people who have ordered this movie in advance. It will only start in two days, and there are already more than 500,000 people in the West.

Order. Although this number is not big, a ticket is only 5 US dollars, and the total cost is only 2.5 million US dollars. But this is also good news for Lin Feng.

After all, JK Luo Lin is not the only celebrity invited by Lin Feng.

After JK Rowling started a small wave of reservations for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Lin Feng invited a second celebrity - the former president of the American Film Institute, John Phillips.

As for John, he was old and had retired a long time ago. He didn't care about the world. This time, Lin Feng came to him, making him useless as a taxi driver. Originally, he didn't want to give Lin Feng any help.

Yes, but after carefully watching "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at Lin Feng's request, the former president of the American Film Institute suddenly changed his original intention. He was willing to write a review for "Legend of Sword and Fairy"

Thank you. But it’s just this time, and it won’t happen next time.

Lin Feng naturally agreed to this. Now Lin Feng is also cultivating his own film critics, establishing his own film review channels, and providing viewing guides to hundreds of millions of viewers. However, this is not yet a phenomenon, but in three to five years, it will be possible.

Once the climate improves, Lin Feng will no longer need to look at anyone's face.

John Phillips's film review is much more detailed, and he wrote it after watching it carefully three times. However, compared to JK Rowling's popular and straightforward review, John's film review is much more profound, although the words are stiff.

point, but his admiration for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very high. Coupled with his popularity and prestige, it can be said that he played a vital role in the promotion of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

And Lin Feng invited more than just these people, he also had bigger names.
