The Director of Music Department

Movies have been used as commodities since their birth, or it is a business.

In fact, if Wang Yifan is willing to help the platform to do publicity, there will definitely be some effect.

But Wang Yifan did not.

Because it is unnecessary, in fact, Wang Yifan does not know who made Ahri's screening strategy.

Although the targeted release of movies to specific Chinese groups can indeed make the word-of-mouth of the screenings much better.

But this strategy itself was a huge mistake, why?

Because Ahri Media's attitude towards the movie "Infernal Affairs" and their expectations for this movie cannot be supported by Chinese Americans alone.

It can only be said that Ahri Media will continue to apply the domestic set to the North American market.

Because in China, most of the time, during the screening period, the mode of controlling and reviewing is basically adopted.

It is difficult for outsiders to know the real word-of-mouth of the movie.

But they ignored that although Chinese Americans in North America also have a lot of ABCs, they are different from the orthodox North American audience in many aspects after all.

However, they still did it.

Therefore, Wang Yifan was really a little suspicious, did the person who gave them this idea, or the person who made this publicity strategy, have a grudge against them?

As for the media and film critics, in fact, this can only be said to point Ahri's back.

The movie "Infernal Affairs" is indeed the kind of movie that can be favored by film critics and media people.

Because compared to ordinary audiences, the two groups of media and film critics are actually not difficult to understand, first of all, the media.

Because Ari Media is not stingy with spending money, the media will naturally not give any bad comments after collecting money.

As for why Ahri thinks that the media is particularly optimistic about "Infernal Affairs"?

That's because they are professionals.

Maybe I don't understand it at first glance, but because I want to give a good review, I will definitely learn about things related to the movie.

In fact, if you can know the theme of "Infernal Affairs", then this movie is undoubtedly a pretty good movie.

In addition to this movie, the story itself is indeed full of tension, so naturally, the media has a rare dedication.

As for film critics, because of the group of film critics, what they like can never represent the market.

"Infernal Affairs" can be said to be in line with the appetite of film critics. First of all, this movie is a Chinese movie, but this movie, with its themes about fate, about hell, etc., scratched the hearts of these people the itch.

So, naturally all kinds of flattery.

Los Angeles Hua Guo Theater.

Ahri Media is really hardworking.

This time, the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have a very luxurious lineup.

Many Hollywood stars and directors came to join us.

Of course, the price paid must be quite high.

The most exciting thing is Cao Meng, Chen Dahua, Chen Qingyun and other main creative personnel who rushed over from China.

Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun are actually better. After all, they are not young anymore, and they also experienced the golden age of Hong Kong Island. At that time, Hong Kong Island movies also sold well in Hollywood.

In the early years, many Hong Kong Island stars had been in Hollywood.

The most successful one belongs to Cheng Hu.

Although Hong Kong Island movies declined later, Cheng Hu was not as good as each year in Hollywood, and finally had to return to China to develop.

But such a scene, for them, although they agreed and were full of expectations, it was more of an attitude of losing my life and gaining my luck.

After all, for the two of them, their age is actually very difficult for them to have the idea of ​​going to Hollywood to develop.

After all, the age of chasing dreams has long passed.

But Cao Meng is different.

Although Cao Meng is also a director from the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies.

But back then, Cao Meng was not a director who could sell movies to Hollywood, so he has always been yearning for North America and Hollywood.

There is no way, once they can land in North America, the reputation of international famous directors is far from being comparable to what it is now.

And "Infernal Affairs" is indeed Cao Meng's most confident and proudest work.

Coupled with this movie, the publicity it received in North America in the early stage, and the word-of-mouth screenings, etc., all prove that this movie has a high probability of success here.

Once he succeeds, then he, Cao Meng, will be able to truly complete the transformation and become the truly unique director.

People like Wang Yifan may not be on the same level, but the distance is not as big as before.

Yes, in China, Wang Yifan, Yang Long, Ma Qingshan, Chen Hang, these directors can be said to be recognized as top-notch.

It can be said that the same is a great director, but they are unique.

Moreover, tonight, "Infernal Affairs" was able to hold its premiere at Hua Guo Theater in Los Angeles, which can be said to be a recognition in itself.

You know, the Huaguo Theater is here in Hollywood, but not all movies can have their premieres here.

And "Infernal Affairs" did it.

Of course, right now, Cao Meng doesn't know anyone here in Hollywood.

In fact, it is not impossible for Chinese directors to succeed in Hollywood, but most of them are abc, and there are very few real Chinese directors who succeed in North America.

For example, Wang Yifan is arguably the most successful Chinese director in North America.

No way, "Mad Max: Fury Road" made Wang Yifan full of popularity.

This movie, it can be said, is regarded as a cult classic, and the fans of this kind of movie are definitely crazy enough.

The point is that the box office of this movie is quite good, which makes people even more envious and jealous.

Moreover, to be more specific, if Wang Yifan directs a blockbuster film in North America now, the remuneration will definitely be top-notch.

As for Cao Meng, if he came to North America, no one would invite him.

No way, this is reality.

During the period, under the recommendation of Ari's people, I met quite a few "big shots" in Hollywood. However, what made Cao Meng extremely depressed and aggrieved was that.

Although these people were very polite on the surface, in fact, they talked more with Wang Yifan.

How could Cao Meng not be annoyed by this?

Therefore, he was aggrieved, but he had already begun to look forward to it. When "Infernal Affairs" conquered the North American market, then at that time, even if it was Wang Yifan, he would no longer need to look up to him.

Just thinking that the script of the movie "Infernal Affairs" also came from Wang Yifan, Cao Meng felt a little bit internally hurt.

Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's attitude and envied and hated his achievements, deep down he had to admit that Wang Yifan was indeed not comparable to him.

There is no way, this is a monstrous evildoer, he has never missed a shot since he has been in the industry, what a crap thing this is.

Movies, for many people, are a high-risk, high-reward business.

But in the hands of Wang Yifan, this high risk has a question mark.

Because, he has been successful!
