It is true that Japan and South Korea have been able to lead the fashion trend in Asia for so many years. They do have their own unique advantages. The people of these two countries can treat makeup and dressing up as a major life event. This persistence really makes those in China who are still studying for housing The young people who are struggling to solve the problem are far behind. .
For four hours in the morning, Mai Chong was under the control of the photography team, trying on various clothes and posing in various poses for the photographers to take pictures. The only purpose was to make the already handsome Mai Chong even more handsome. The little girls in Han are very fond of handsome boys. After such a delicious photo album is released, those nymphomaniac girls will definitely join the buying team like wolves and tigers, and will be deeply fascinated by this charming girl from then on. Men, of course this is the most ideal possibility.
And just when Mai Chong was dedicating his flower-like smile and his cute eyes to the photo album, Mu Weiyu and Huo Wenxi were going on a shopping spree in Ginza, Tokyo. The only person left to take care of Mai Chong was one of Huo Wenxi's assistants, and that was The only one among the four who could not speak Japanese, this assistant just stood around the studio blankly. He had no idea what people were saying or what he should do. He wanted to ask Mai Chong to help him because it was convenient. She asked where the bathroom was.
In order to catch the afternoon flight to Seoul, Mai Chong just ate some sushi at noon and then started working again. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that he completed half of the photo album shooting. The remaining half had to wait until he arrived in South Korea to continue. .
The flight was at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Huo Wenxi sent her assistant back to China. Of course, returning with her assistant were all kinds of brand-name clothes, bags, and cosmetics that she and Xiaoyu bought. This might be what Huo Wenxi brought her to Japan. Really mean it.
This time Mai Chong and others went with Zhang Ziyi and the others. Zhang Ziyi was accompanied by more than ten agents, assistants and bodyguards. She looked like an international superstar. She and Mai Chong sat together, chatting and laughing. The main content besides "Lanling Mask" is Ang Lee. The reason why she rose to the top so quickly and became an internationally famous Chinese actress is the two people she needs to thank most, Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee, so when she heard about Mai Chong She couldn't help but inquire about the news about her upcoming collaboration with Ang Lee. She was very curious about what kind of story it would be and whether there would be a role for her to play in this story. She was deeply benefited from the benefits of working with a famous director. , so I am looking forward to reconnecting with director Ang Lee.
Mai Chong knew that the news of his cooperation with Ang Lee would be announced by the company soon, and he might go to the United States at the end of the month, so he did not hide his cooperation with Ang Lee from Zhang Ziyi. However, when Zhang Ziyi asked what story he was telling, he It was absolutely forbidden to talk about it. Zhang Ziyi knew that she was being a little abrupt, so she stopped asking any more questions and turned the topic back to "Lanling Mask".
Mu Weiyu watched Mai Chong and Zhang Ziyi talking and laughing, and felt a little bit disgusted in her heart. However, sitting next to Huo Wenxi, she was unable to do anything. She could only stare, her eyes were sore, and she slowly fell asleep. When she arrived in Seoul, she was still Huo Wenxi woke her up.
There were also a large number of welcoming movie fans at the Seoul Airport. The scene was even grander than the one Mai Chong saw at the Tokyo Airport. However, most of them were fans of Zhang Ziyi. After all, Zhang Ziyi, who has the aura of an international star, can indeed dominate Asia. Wherever I go, there are a large number of fans. Among the huge group of Zhang Ziyi fans, there are only a few people holding up Mai Chong's Chinese name and huge photos. It is obvious that Mai Chong's influence in South Korea is not as good as that in Japan. After all, this is It was his first time setting foot in this peninsular country in a new capacity.
All accommodation and itinerary arrangements in South Korea were arranged by Tianxia Media and the Korean distributor and approved by Zhang Ziyi¡¯s agency. They first held a media conference in the cinema and accepted questions and interviews from reporters. The conference was almost All well-known Korean entertainment media participated. If it were Mai Chong alone, he would definitely not be able to attract such a big attention, but with Zhang Ziyi, many things would be much easier. This is the importance of international influence, and it is also what Irving is anxious for. The reason why "Crimes of the Brain" was put on the schedule.
Today is Christmas. This festival has a great influence on South Korea, which is heavily westernized. There are many celebrations in Seoul at night, which seems lively and warm. However, Mai Chong does not have time to go to the streets to pave the way. In the evening, he and Zhang Ziyi There is still work to be done.
South Korea's cultural industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and has driven the country's tourism industry. Not only has Korean dramas spread across Asia and fascinated a large number of nymphomaniac Smectas, but many excellent works have also emerged in movies, regardless of last year's "Real Life". "Ocean Island" and this year's "The Flag of the Sun" both exceeded 10 million moviegoers. However, the country's population is only over 40 million. The number of moviegoers for one movie exceeds one-fifth of the country's population. In It¡¯s unimaginable in China. It¡¯s a luxury to have one-fifth of the country¡¯s population watch movies throughout the year. Korean movie box office statistics are based onMovie attendance statistics, because this country implements unified ticket prices for all movies in all regions of the country, generally multiply the number of movie viewers by the average ticket price of 7,000 won (approximately RMB 35) to get the box office number.
Of course, Koreans are only so supportive of Korean films. Foreign films have never been very popular here. The best performance of a Hollywood film in South Korea is the 5.9 million viewers of "Lord of the Rings 3", while the best performance of a Chinese-language film is The result was 1.91 million moviegoers for "Hero", which was far lower than "The Flying Taigeuk Flag" and "Siwei Island" and other films. Although there are local protection policies and the influence of the film quota system, generally speaking, the Korean people still love and support local films.
The highest box office in a country is a local film. This is the success of the country's filmmakers. South Korea's historical box office champion is "Taegukgi" (11.7 million moviegoers), and Japan's box office champion is "Spirited Away" (30.4 billion). Japanese yen), while in mainland China it is "Titanic" in 1998 (360 million yuan). No Chinese-language film has broken this record so far, which shows that Mai Chong's generation still has a long way to go. , even if Chinese-language films cannot be made into a money-making tool that is as popular around the world as Hollywood films, they still need to protect their own land and make movies that the Chinese people like. Therefore, Mai Chong¡¯s requirement for Tianxia Pictures¡¯ works is to ¡°base themselves locally and look globally¡±!
In addition to Korean dramas and Korean movies, the Korean entertainment industry also has a wide variety of variety shows that are very influential. Many stars use these popular variety shows to increase their exposure and popularity. After arriving in South Korea, the company naturally arranged variety shows for Mai Chong and Zhang Ziyi, which not only increased Mai Chong's popularity, but also promoted "Lanling Mask".
However, Zhang Ziyi¡¯s agency considers Zhang Ziyi¡¯s status as an international superstar, and the company¡¯s positioning of her as a noble and elegant international style, so she is not suitable to participate in those very noisy Korean variety shows, and feels that she is a bit undervalued. Mai Chong also feels that variety shows that are particularly tossing are not suitable for him. He has always positioned himself as a people's artist rather than a youth idol. He likes programs with depth. Therefore, what was arranged for them was a celebrity talk show. They would never be treated like monkeys by the host, and they did not need to cooperate with the host to show off. Even though Zhang Ziyi has a lot of requests, almost all Korean talk shows that meet her requirements have made great efforts to win this opportunity and promised to provide various conveniences, not for anything else but because it was Zhang Ziyi who made the request.
The one that was finally selected was m, one of the three major radio stations in South Korea
"Come and Play" by c
Play), the hosts Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Won Hee postponed interviews with TVXQ and several other recently popular Korean singing groups and singers for this interview, just to make time for Zhang Ziyi and Mai Chong.
In order to better complete this cross-border interview task, "Let's Play", which has never received Chinese guests, specially invited a Chinese student from Ewha Womans University to be a translator. However, after the recording started, the two hosts realized that the translator was redundant. , because this newly rising super idol Mai Chong from China can actually speak Korean!
Although Mai Chong's Korean is not so fluent, there is no problem in communication. Mai Chong, who is proficient in Korean, communicates in Korean with Liu Zaishi and Jin Yuanxi at one moment, winning applause and laughter from the audience, and in Chinese for Zhang Ziyi at the next moment. Translated and conveyed her meaning to the two hosts. During the two-hour recording, Mai Chong became the person who spoke the most and was also the one who controlled the entire situation.
When Mai Chong and Liu Zaishi talked about his good impression of Seoul, Zhang Ziyi looked at Mai Chong in surprise and thought: I thought it was good if I could speak English very well, but I didn¡¯t expect that this kid could speak both Japanese and Korean well. Very proficient, how could he have such great ability?
When Mai Chong conveyed a question from Liu Zaishi to Zhang Ziyi, Liu Zaishi looked at Mai Chong in shock and thought: Am I the host today or is he the host? There's something wrong with the aura!
Huo Wenxi has been staring at the recording in front of her backstage, with a touch of joy that can be expressed in words. She seems to have anticipated how popular Mai Chong will be after this program is broadcast. To bring the relationship between the two ethnic groups, language is the best. One of the most important reasons why Mai Chong is so popular in Japan is that he is proficient in Japanese. Now in South Korea, Mai Chong has once again shown his amazing language talent, which will definitely lay a good foundation for his development in South Korea.
After finishing the talk show, Mai Chong and Zhang Ziyi met in a friendly manner
cThe staff said goodbye and returned to the hotel under the escort of bodyguards. Zhang Ziyi only rested for three hours before catching a flight back to Japan, while Mai Chong slept until dawn.
The next day, Mai Chong spent one morning to complete the second half of the photo album shooting, and the trip to South Korea was also over. I thought I could go home, but Huo Wenxin received another edict from Owen, saying that "Lanling Noodles""Tool" triggered a movie-watching craze in Southeast Asia, and successively defeated Hollywood blockbusters in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. Therefore, he felt that they should increase their promotion efforts in Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, Mai Chong and the others did not need to return to China, but flew directly to Singapore, and then Just promote it in several countries in Southeast Asia.
Mai Chong had no choice but to suppress the urge to go home. When Huo Wenxi placed the ticket to Singapore in front of him, Owen called again, "You haven't boarded the plane yet, have you?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's fine if you don't have it. Don't go to Singapore, and you can't go to Singapore."
