Xuan noticed that the timeline of the parallel world seemed to be closing.
No matter if it was the comic series or the Marvel series, there hadn't been any manga adaptation for more than 20 years.
Who would have thought that there would suddenly be a Cheng Bite Gold in the Christmas slot?
Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Marvel would join hands with Orlando and start Marvel's first decade.
Fortunately, reality proved that he was overthinking.
This movie was equivalent to the 2003 version of The Hulk.
Coincidentally, the director was another Chinese director, Li An.
This " first manga adaptation in 20 years " investment of 160 million USD was one of the most important projects of the year.
Both Orlando and Marvel were confident in Hulk!
The media predicted that the box office of this film would start at 1 billion USD! It was definitely a double success at the box office!
In Parallel World, Li An had also accumulated a certain amount of fame in Hollywood.
Ten years ago, Director Li An broke into Hollywood with Eat, Drink, Man, and Woman, winning an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and a Golden Ball Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
After that, Li An directed many high-scoring films such as Forbidden Mountain, Jie Se, and Sense and Emotion.
Three years ago, he directed " Life of Pi " and was nominated for many awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
This movie was also quite popular in the Dragon Country, causing a wave of commotion.
Xuan's predecessor even went to the cinema for a second time.
Therefore, Li An directing The Hulk was a sure thing in the eyes of North American film makers.
He was also one of the few Chinese directors who were respected in Hollywood.
If it was someone else, Xuan might be worried.
However, he had already experienced Li An's 'Hulk' in his previous life.
There was depth, and the film wasn't bad…but the box office poison was real.
The 160 million investment only yielded 240 million, which was barely enough to break even.
Because of this movie, Marvel fell silent for many years again. It was only when Iron Man appeared that they started to rise.
In the parallel world, if nothing unexpected happened, the result would not be unexpected.
However, this also reminded Xuan that after finishing the projects on hand.
He was also going to start the Avengers Alliance plan.
There were also a lot of Marvel fans around the world. Marvel's IP copyright was just there, and no one dared to try it?
I'm sorry, but since that's the case, I'll make the first move.
If The Hulk failed at the box office, it would be a good opportunity to intimidate the other spectators.
Xuan took advantage of the situation. Perfect.
The only thing that was hard to confirm was Dune.
This sci-fi blockbuster was adapted from a novel of the same name, with an investment of 175 million yuan.
It was said to lead the revival of science fiction movies!
Ever since 2001: A Space Oasis, there had never been a sci-fi film that had a good reputation at the box office and had a global impact.
Sci-fi had completely become a niche field, and it was treated the same as horror movies.
In his previous life,"Dune" was unpopular in the Dragon Country, but it had garnered a billion yuan at the box office worldwide.
Xuan wasn't too worried about this. He wouldn't avoid other schedules because of this movie.
He believed that La La Land was very good at fighting!
In his previous life, La La Land's reputation in North America had exploded. The reason for the poor box office sales was because the film producers were not confident.
On the day of their premiere, they only screened in five cinemas in Los Santos and earned 855,000 US dollars.
This had already set a box office record for a limited theater!
Unfortunately, when he wanted to expand the theater chain, he encountered Star Wars: Hero Bandit No. 1, Doctor Strange, Ocean Tale, and other powerful opponents.
If he was confident that he could release it in more cinemas, the box office of La La Land would be at least 100 to 200 million yuan higher.
This time, Xuan teamed up with Legendary Pictures. The number of cinemas on the day of the premiere exceeded 3000!
After that, based on the box office and reputation, they would expand to more cinemas.
Xuan was prepared to fight a tough battle!
A holiday for the holidays? Bring it on!
……
Learning from the success of Paranormal Activity's viral marketing, Xuan decided to continue his marketing campaign for La La Land via the internet!
During this period of time, every time the post-production supervision of the film was completed, he would gather the marketing department to brainstorm.
"Guys, our mission is to defeat Dune and The Hulk. Are you confident?”
"Boss, we're screening on the same day. It's hard to win the first week, right?”
An employee asked weakly.
"So, why are we having a meeting? It's to discuss the way to win. Everyone has an idea, starting with you.”
"Eh?" The employee who asked the question didn't expect that he would bump into a gun.
"Why don't we hype up a couple? Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone…"
"No, change to another one."
Ryan Gosling and actress Eva Mendes were in love, and it was the stupidest strategy to create a scandal at this time.
Moreover, this method was too low-level. It might affect the fans 'favorability. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Xuan's sharp gaze made the employee quiet out of fear. He didn't know when he had started to possess the pressure of a superior.
No one would look down on Xuan just because he was 21 years old.
After that, the other employees also made suggestions.
Some people said that they would put up posters on university campus, some said that they would buy traffic on Short videos platforms, and some said that they would participate in variety shows...
In short, there were all kinds of ideas. These ideas were either too inefficient or uncreative.
At this moment, the marketing manager, Mark Lawrenson, smiled and said,"
"Boss, the biggest star of this movie isn't Gosling, nor is it Miss Stone…"
"You're still the one the fans are talking about the most.”
"Me?" Xuan was curious.
He had already tried his best to keep a low profile and transform into the role of a behind-the-scenes manager. However, everyone was still talking about Xuan the most about the film.
As the youngest Chinese director, he often revealed shocking moves and accidentally became the focus of everyone's attention.
This was especially true for fans of Paranormal Activity. Many young people watched the movie twice or thrice.
Xuan had already become a celebrity director that young people admired.
His fan base was increasing by the day.
Xuan himself didn't know that his influence was already very great.
Mark Lawrenson continued,"
"Yeah, Boss, it would be great if you could participate in the publicity. Even if you sing or dance, countless people would watch.”
Xuan had an idea.
He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Liu Genhong had been livestreaming his fitness on the Douyin platform. In half a month, the total number of viewers had exceeded 100 million! Leading a fitness craze.
Countless " Liu Genhong " girls insisted on practicing with him every day, which became one of the hot topics in society.
He could totally replicate this model!
The livestream in Parallel World was also very developed. Whether it was in the Dragon Country or overseas, countless young people around the world spent hours watching the livestream every day.
Other than gaming livestreams, there were also livestreams of dance, music, beauty, and novelty…
Xuan's current TikTok fans had reached 7 million!
If he were to start a live broadcast to teach dance, even if he only appeared on screen for an hour every day, it would still be able to create a huge impact!
When the time came, he would teach everyone the tap dance, knight dance, waltz, etc. from La La Land. Perhaps he could also create a hot topic on the Internet!
Everyone in the meeting room was uneasy. They found Xuan suddenly silent.
She thought that she had said something wrong.
In reality, Xuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and the publicity plan was becoming clearer and clearer.
