Chapter 756: The Secret of the Lunar New Year Festival

Ye Ming said with a smile: "You have to ask your leader about this. It was supposed to be released simultaneously in Asia, but the Korean one was released in advance. However, fortunately, the box office was good, otherwise I, the investor, would have lost money."

After saying this, Guo Zairong felt a little embarrassed. He smiled helplessly and said, "This matter is really difficult to explain clearly.

The Actors Guild and the Directors Guild all want to have a movie in South Korea that can inspire people, the kind of movie that can make Korean moviegoers enter the cinema after the Bald Head Movement.

It was originally another recommended movie, but when our movie was submitted for review, even director Jiang Digui, one of the reviewers, felt that the film was good, so we decided to screen it in advance. In Chinese terms, My arms can't twist my thighs, so there's nothing I can do. "

Ye Ming had no intention of blaming him, so he simply teased him.

Seeing how concerned Guo Zaiyong was, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Director Guo is too polite. I was just saying that casually. I am very confident in our movie. I have great confidence in Director Guo's talent and Jun Ji-hyun." Miss, I am very confident in the efforts of the entire crew. It is within Wu's expectation that our movie can achieve such good results. In China, it is also a good harvest."

When Jun Ji-hyun heard Ye Ming's praise, her face was like a blooming flower and she said with a smile: "I would like to thank my seniors for their advice, which greatly improved my acting skills. This time, Director Kang Di-gyu even praised me. There is a chance to compete for the Blue Dragon Award, all of which are taken care of by Director Guo and his seniors."

Ye Ming did not take the credit at all, and said calmly: "It is Director Guo's credit, and it is also Miss Quan Ji-hyun's own efforts. If Miss Quan Ji-hyun can win the Blue Dragon Award, then I wish you good results in advance."

The Blue Dragon Award, like China's Golden Rooster Award, Hong Kong City's Golden Statue Award, and Baodao's Golden Horse Award, is the highest award in the Korean domestic film and television industry. If an actor can be recognized by the Blue Dragon Award, he will be proud enough in the Korean entertainment industry.

This has to make Quan Zhixian feel happy.

At this moment, Guo Zairong suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said: "By the way, Mr. Ye, I remember that China has had New Year films in the past two years. Why don't we show it at that time? I think it will attract more people." of the audience.”

The box office performance of a film depends not only on the quality of the film itself, but also on publicity and schedule. These two points are also very important, especially the schedule, which is the key to affecting the box office. If it is said that it can have A good schedule will definitely have an advantage at the box office.

Ye Ming explained patiently: "New Year's film, of course, I don't deny that this is a good schedule, but do you think this schedule will be given to [My Sassy Girl]? Come on, this is an imported film, although I invested in the starring role Yes, but there is nothing wrong with it being a Korean film. Therefore, it is impossible to have a Lunar New Year film schedule. This is a fundamental problem.

As long as Feng Xiaogang shoots a New Year's film, it must be reserved for him. Of course, other people can also get this schedule, but they must be Chinese movies. [My Sassy Girl] If I invest in it, I star in it, or even if Director Guo directs it, and it is shot in mainland China, it will be considered a collaborative film, and if we want it to be released during the Lunar New Year, there will be no problem.

But now, during the Lunar New Year period, the world is dominated by Feng Xiaogang.

[My Sassy Girl] is impossible to snatch this time slot no matter what, even for a Hollywood blockbuster like Transformers. "

Some things in China are simply impossible for Guo Zairong to understand. It's like the Chinese people don't know why Koreans insist that the world is Korean.

However, after hearing Ye Ming's explanation, director Guo Zaiyong finally understood: "It's just like the relevant Korean authorities want our movie to be released in Korea early. This is irresistible, right?"

Ye Ming nodded and said with deep understanding: "Absolutely. Anyway, we are now releasing the movie, and when the [big names] compete in the Lunar New Year season, basically speaking, it is almost time for us to start filming, at least it will not have any impact on the [big names]. .”

Cui Zhenzhen looked at the snowy scene outside the window and became a little obsessed with the winter charm of the capital.

She looked at this fascinating scenery and said: "Politics has nothing to do with movies. Mr. Ye, I heard that you have a courtyard house in Beijing. Many of my friends say that courtyard houses are representative of Beijing. Why don't you arrange for us to live in you?" The courtyard?"

As a well-known star in South Korea, Cui Zhenzhen cannot have too much free time. He usually follows the company's arrangements, and it is not easy to come to the capital.

Therefore, I wanted to see some additional views. The courtyard seems to be a very nice landscape.

Cui Zhenshi's words also aroused Quan Zhixian's approval, clamoring for Ye Ming to take everyone to the courtyard to have a look.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "I'm really sorry about this. I had this plan originally, but thinking about it, this is impossible. Your whereabouts have been exposed by the media. I dare say that the car behind us now There were at least three cars inside that had come all the way from the airport.

Basically, the paparazzi know the courtyard where I live. Even if they don't follow us, they can even find my courtyard more skillfully than me. What's more, there are paparazzi following behind.

Fire prevention, theft prevention and paparazzi prevention are what the entertainment industry must pay attention to. It is the same in any country. "

It is said that fire prevention, theft prevention, and reporter protection are actually an explanation given by officials to reporters. In the entertainment industry, there is no need to guard against reporters at all, just to guard against paparazzi. Not all entertainment reporters are paparazzi.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for people in the entertainment industry to guard against reporters.

Guo Zairong also said seriously: "For safety reasons, forget it. I think it is a good choice to arrange it in the Beijing Hotel. The Beijing Hotel is also a very long-standing hotel. It is said that many heads of state come to visit. It was arranged for the crew to stay at the Beijing Hotel. This hotel is not something you can just stay in."

Generally, when foreign celebrities come, they go to Hilton, Shangri-La and other large hotels. As for being able to arrange them in a Beijing hotel, this is not easy.

It seems that this is the habit of the Chinese people. The Jingcheng Hotel is more upscale than ordinary hotels. Even a five-star hotel cannot compare with the status of the Jingcheng Hotel in the hearts of the Chinese people. This is caused by different perceptions of concepts.

Anyway, for Guo Zairong and others, being able to arrange for them to stay in a hotel in the capital is already quite a piece of cake.

Ye Ming explained with a smile: "Safety first, safety first, this must be paid attention to. Even in the Hilton Hotel, it is possible for paparazzi to sneak in, but for the Beijing Hotel, paparazzi are Why don't you try changing half of it in?"

Of course, the level of protection of the Beijing Hotel is different. After all, this is a hotel that has been given special significance.

Then, Ye Ming said: "Looking for a suitable opportunity later, I will take you to my home for dinner. If you come to China or the capital, you will definitely be able to appreciate the authentic courtyard house. Don't worry about this."

Today at noon, I arranged to eat roast duck in Quanjude. If you haven’t eaten Quanjude’s roast duck in Beijing, you can’t say that you have eaten Beijing’s famous food. Of course, there will also be some other famous delicacies in the capital waiting for everyone to try, and we are guaranteed to give everyone a different lunch. "

At this moment, Guo Zairong's cell phone rang. After the call, Guo Zairong said hesitantly: "The people on the film side also know that we are coming, so they want to help us. Mr. Ye, how do you think this matter should be arranged?"

Originally, Guo Zaiyong asked Ye Ming to arrange the reception, but in order to build a good relationship with the Korean colleagues, the people in the cinema were also prepared to entertain Guo Zaiyong and his party. In this case, there would be some conflict in time.

As a guest, Guo Zairong naturally wanted to listen to the opinion of the owner Ye Ming at this time.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "People from the cinema, Lao Liu from the New Film Alliance, I guess it will be this guy. In this way, you tell Chairman Liu that I have made arrangements. If he wants to come, We can go to Quanjude to have dinner together, and we don’t need him to have a pair of chopsticks.”

Chairman Liu of the New Film Alliance was once taken down by the General Administration, but I don’t know why he came up again. Anyway, it’s all the leaders who have the final say. Besides, Chairman Liu is also an old acquaintance. If you have anything to discuss with an acquaintance, In this case, even if it is an opponent, it is easier to deal with an acquaintance.

Therefore, Ye Ming still maintained a polite and welcoming attitude towards Chairman Liu of the New Film Alliance.

Speaking of which, Ye Ming is also a shareholder of New Film Alliance, so everyone is considered a colleague, and Ye Ming has no intention of rejecting Chairman Liu.

Hearing Ye Ming's straightforward answer saves Guo Zairong from being in a dilemma. Otherwise, you should agree to this matter. Ye Ming has already made arrangements. If you don't agree, people from the New Film Alliance have proposed it. If you don't agree, Always refute other people's face. In China, this kind of thing is very impolite.

Even if Guo Zaiyong is Korean, he is very clear about this.

Therefore, Ye Ming's decision saved Guo Zairong from being in a dilemma.

Guo Zairong immediately contacted the New Film Alliance, and sure enough, Chairman Liu there had no objection to the matter and agreed immediately. (To be continued)
