Chapter 634 Take two steps if you have nothing to do

How strong is Shen Santong's influence?
You can get a glimpse of this from the wailing of the centipede spider.

Not generally powerful.

Let’s just talk about the chain reaction caused by the hit drama “The Lost Tomb”.

The domestic box office exceeded 30 billion, setting records for both box office and moviegoers.

The reading volume of related topics on Weibo has exceeded 10 billion, and has been at the top of the topic lists on major platforms for more than two months.

Professional disciplines are involved.

Major universities and colleges in archaeology, biology, and other fields have come up with the professional knowledge involved in popular science films.

It is quite similar to the situation after the release of the movie "Titanic", which has boosted related research.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television held a symposium on film industry upgrades, held emergency discussions, and set a new benchmark for cultural exports.

The relevant cultural departments sent a special congratulatory message, pointing out that this is the first Chinese-language film to top the single-day box office charts in multiple countries at the same time.

Relevant departments of the Central Propaganda Department held a special seminar on the "Jingjue Mystery City" phenomenon to explore the milestone breakthrough in the international expression of Chinese stories.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to reporters' questions and responded to the plot of the US mercenaries in the Reuters movie: "People-to-people cultural exchanges always follow international rules. China always welcomes friendly cultural exchanges among countries and opposes any form of cultural relics plunder. I wish the Sino-US co-production "Wonder Woman" a success."

It became a global hit, and was broadcast live at 7 o'clock every day to show battle reports.

Overseas popularity.

The most valuable thing is the box office performance, which earned $600 million in box office revenue excluding domestic box office.

The whole world is swept by the craze for Eastern culture.

The highest single-week box office in North America, breaking the 10-year record of 5371 million total box office for Chinese-language films held by "Hero".

The first week box office in Europe broke records for Chinese-language films in various countries.

UNESCO’s official Twitter account retweeted the post, calling it “a model of cultural symbiosis.”

Los Angeles Times headline: "Jackie Chan's fists and kicks are defeated by Hu Bayi's compass!"

The Hollywood Reporter gave a front page during the hot screening: "Jingjue crushes Corsair! Warner's stock price rose 14% this week due to "The Mystical City""

The three major European film festivals also spoke out. Dieter Kosslick, president of the Berlin Film Festival, said: "This is an aesthetic revolution in Spielberg-style adventure films."

Shen Santong was certified. He is strong enough to be able to attack and defend easily.

The three major European countries do not really recognize Shen Santong, but every family has its own problems.

Winning over Shen Santong was a way to counter Hollywood's increasingly powerful offensive on the one hand, and also a way to raise the price externally on the other.

It depends on how much Hollywood and the Dongda market can offer.

As for art, it’s too vulgar to just say that you’re selling it, you have to find another way to say it.

There is also the idea of ​​having the best of both worlds, eating up Hollywood on one hand and the Dongda market which is expanding overseas on the other.

The European cultural circle is similar to some people in the University of Tokyo. They kowtow madly and curse madly, and then feel good about it.

These characteristics are most prominently reflected in old Europe's complex feelings towards the United States.

There is a sense of pride among old nobles, but once Citibank gets tough, he can do whatever he wants and Europe can only be bullied.

There is nothing else to do except crying.

BBC Culture Channel special report: "China's new cultural symbols are exported. Researchers at the British Museum said that the number of inquiries about the Tibetan Garuda cultural relics in the museum has increased by 100 times."

Shen Santong is now in the mainstream narrative of the Donkey Party, and he has a cooperative relationship with Warner. In addition, the distribution company has paid the money, so the BBC will really do the job if it pays.

Afterwards, a large number of netizens flooded the comments, asking Britain to return the cultural relics.

There are not many people from the University of Tokyo, and most of the audiences are from other countries around the world.

With the hit of "The Lost Tomb" and the explosion of "Jingjue" cultural fever in North America, "Jingjue" has also become popular internationally.

The United States may not have good means, but it has great power.

In the Internet world, the voice of North America basically represents the Western Internet public opinion field.

There were inexplicable curses, and North American audiences felt that they were wronged.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance was formed, the United States was still serving the children.

Such a great curse fell on them, how unfair!
Isn’t this Daying’s fault?
There are many people in the world who hate Britain. Compared with Britain's great shortcomings and virtues, the United States in later generations can be considered an honest guy.

The BBC first deleted the comments and later closed the comment section.

Reuters also gave an exclusive report.

Citing the gossip about Shen Santong from so-called insiders, the report reported his situation in China, with a very meaningful tone. The peripheral products related to "The Mystical Ancient City" were also a big hit.

It exploded both at home and abroad.

Since the "overthrow of Shen", Shen Santong has separated the messy businesses, focused on the main business of film, and deeply explored cultural potential.

The peripheral products of Santong Entertainment's blockbuster movies have been selling well, but there is a big gap compared to the box office of the movies, and Shen Santong himself does not take it too seriously.

Regarding the cultural peripheral business, people always say that Dongda has too many copyrights and no one will buy the peripherals.

The battlefield preset by Santong Entertainment to open up peripheral businesses is placed in "The Return of the Great Sage", which is also the battlefield demarcated by Shen Santong.

Shen Santong remembered that the peripheral products of "The Return of the Great Sage" in its previous life were quite good. The umbrellas, pillows and other products were of good quality and the prices were not low, but many people bought them. He also bought one and has been using it for many years.

After Shen Santong's intervention, the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage" is much more exciting than the original version.

Monkey King is portrayed as a superhero, without any entanglement, and it is not like the original version where he has to watch Jiang Liuer die.

The original version performed well and gave rise to the term "tap water", which some people attribute to the light of anime.

The Light of Anime certainly contributed, but the main reason is still Monkey King. If it weren’t for Monkey King, the box office would have been at most 200 to 300 million.

The director’s next film, Deep Sea, had nice color pictures, but its average performance also illustrates this point.

Shen Santong believes in the charm of Monkey King, and has already stocked up on self-operated and co-branded peripheral products of "The Return of the Great Sage".

As a result, something unexpected happened.

Before "The Return of the Great Sage" was released, the peripheral products of "The Lost Tomb" became a big hit.

Mythical beast-themed accessories, rune amulets, ancient city model ornaments, and daily necessities that integrate cultures have sold tens of millions of pieces in total and are exported overseas.

The glass pendant of Jingjue Tianyan, the ornament of Jiuyao Star Plate, the gold-touching lieutenant jewelry, the same diamond umbrella rain gear as Shirley Yang, the same "Tianyan password card" as the movie, Kunlun chalcedony bracelet, the blind box sachet of Shahai, the mirage fantasy light atmosphere night light, and the Silk Road camel bell tea set.
The mural silk scarf with the elements of the ancient city of Jingjue, jointly created with the trendy brand under Santong Group, extracts the elements of flying celestial beings and mythical beasts from the temple murals in the movie.

The silk print is supervised by the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Dunhuang Painting Academy and comes with a collection certificate.

Chow Tai Fook’s Jingjue gold seal is engraved with “Jingjue Guardian Seal” in 999 pure gold.

The seal button is in the shape of Shirley Young's Zhuochen staff in the movie, and comes with a mahogany gift box and a cultural handbook "Seal Collection Shuo Ji". It is limited to 1000 pieces and symbolizes "protecting the home and prospering the business."

The most popular items are gold-plated silver replicas, which are pirated ones. They are made by offline gold and silver shops themselves without authorization from the producer.

The same goes for other surrounding areas. 12 was the time when e-commerce took off. Only God knows how much goods Yiwu actually shipped out.

After analysis and investigation, Santong Entertainment finally came to a conclusion.

It’s not that no one buys peripheral products, it’s that there are too few good movies and too many bad movies.

A movie uses hype and deception at every possible means to trick audiences into going to the cinema. After they come out, not to mention buying peripheral products, some audiences decide not to go to the cinema again after watching a bad movie.

Is this a problem with the audience?
The above influence of "The Lost Tomb" is terrifying enough.

But adding one more piece is not as important as the one below.

A movie truly drives a city.

Data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed that after the movie was released, the number of tourists to the filming location of Jingjue Ancient City increased by a hundred times, resulting in insufficient reception.

The frontier RQ County launched the "Secret of the Ancient Silk Road" tourism line, the Jingjue Ancient City Cultural Center was officially opened, and the Populus euphratica forest reserve received a record high number of visitors in a single day.

Economic benefits are important, but more importantly, they indirectly respond to some vicious rumors.

The West has never stopped using any means.

Psychological warfare and public opinion warfare are particularly disgusting.

Even if China refutes the rumor, Western media may selectively ignore it, resulting in the debunking effect being limited to the country and unable to influence the international narrative.

"The Lost Tomb" was filmed in the frontier, the story takes place in the frontier, and the film also shows the appearance of the frontier. After the film was released, it also triggered a wave of movie-watching in the local area, showing the customs and folkways of the frontier in front of global audiences.

There is no need to respond to anything directly, but you have to respond to all the rumors with bad intentions.

Shen Santong is no longer in the martial arts world, but he has already achieved enlightenment and become an emperor in the cultural field.

After Mo Yan won the award, he became very popular and was praised by all major media outlets.

Shen Santong did not mention anyone by name, but his criticism was too obvious and very aggressive.

The authorities have warned people not to spread the news, but it still spread.

The media portrayed Shen Santong as a "business tycoon vs. literary giant," downplaying his cultural attributes.

Shen Santong logged onto Weibo, which he hadn't logged onto for more than half a year, and posted only one sentence: "It's okay to take a walk. With so many reports, why don't you read out the full version of the award speech for everyone to hear."

Let the storm come more violently!
