Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

Chapter 334 This is true cultural export
The popularity of "Red Cliff" in Japan has exceeded expectations.

During its run in Japan, "Red Cliff" held the top spot at the box office for five consecutive weeks.

It even surpassed the popularity of the Hollywood blockbuster "Indiana Jones 4" at one point.

incredible!

But it happened so smoothly.

Chen Siyuan naturally knew why this was the case.

Firstly, thanks to the strong support of Avex Entertainment, "Red Cliff" secured sufficient screenings in Japan.

Secondly, the people of Xiao Rizi have an indescribable fascination with the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

They have produced a large number of games, animations, and films related to the Three Kingdoms period.

Games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors, and Dynasty Warriors have, in turn, influenced many people in China.

For a long time, if you went into an internet cafe, 6 out of 10 computers would be playing Three Kingdoms.

Wu Baige's film "Red Cliff" perfectly matches Xiao Rizhi's tastes.

Wu Baige herself made it very clear in a media interview, "The Japanese regard the Three Kingdoms period as their own history!"

Another point is the actors; Takeshi Kaneshiro, who plays Zhuge Liang, is of Japanese nationality!

Moreover, the cast also includes Japanese actors such as Shido Nakamura.

All these factors combined to make "Red Cliff" a huge hit in Japan.

Moreover, when "Red Cliff" was released in Japan, the satisfaction rate was as high as 90%, with female viewers accounting for a staggering 48%.

This is an amazing thing.

When Orange Sky Entertainment subsequently made a high-profile announcement that "Red Cliff" had broken the box office record for Chinese-language films in Japan.

Many people have broken down!
How could such a huge lump of food set a record for Chinese-language films in Japan?

Is this a case of birds of a feather flocking together, appreciating each other's bad habits?
Does this prove that "Red Cliff" was actually a film made by Wu Baige for the Three Kingdoms period next door?
Indeed, not watching was the right decision!

As a result, "Red Cliff" received rave reviews in Japan and its box office performance exploded.

Domestically, however, it was universally condemned and ended abruptly.

Compared to the domestic box office in the original timeline, it shrank by one-third.

It's not entirely accurate to call it a complete failure.

It's just that it's somewhat mismatched with Orange Sky Entertainment's investment.

In the end, "Red Cliff" followed in the footsteps of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

This result also put Wu Kebo in a dilemma. If "Red Cliff Part I" did such a dismal job at the domestic box office, what about "Red Cliff Part II"?
However, Chen Siyuan didn't have time to pay attention to them.

Chen Siyuan has been extremely busy lately.

Gao Yuanyuan makes sure to set aside time to be with him.

If they can't even give you a formal title, then they're really despicable if they can't even keep you company.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoran, the secretary, helped the boss a lot.

The effect was also very obvious.

Gao Yuanyuan's prenatal checkups during the process were all very healthy.

In addition, there are Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei.

Both of their stories are related to the upcoming Olympics.

Liu Xiaoli is on the national rhythmic gymnastics training team of the dance school.

Because of Kabaeva and her team's insistence, the national rhythmic gymnastics team ultimately decided to hold its training camp at Liu Xiaoli Dance School.

The Olympics is a major national event, and since the national rhythmic gymnastics team is training on its own turf, Liu Xiaoli naturally has the responsibility to coordinate the event.

So during this period, Liu Xiaoli was extremely busy.

As for Liu Yifei, as one of the "lead singers" of "Welcome to Beijing", her exposure increased significantly on the eve of the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

After all, only a few people appeared individually in the music video for "Welcome to Beijing".

Compared to others, the youthful and beautiful Liu Yifei stands out.

Liu Yifei also promoted the Beijing Olympics on various occasions. Coupled with her international fame, Liu Yifei quickly became the "spokesperson" for the Beijing Olympics.

Seeing this, the Organizing Committee simply awarded Liu Yifei the title of Honorary Ambassador for the Beijing Olympics at a routine press conference.

This is a title created specifically for Liu Yifei.

And the effect is immediate.

The happiest people about Liu Yifei's official recognition are not Liu Yifei herself, but her fans all over the country!

Idols' behavior influences their fans' behavior.

While Liu Yifei was promoting the Olympics, her fans also spontaneously cheered for the Beijing Olympics!

Although Liu Yifei hasn't had any filming scheduled recently, she has quite a few other things to do.

Not just domestic, but also international.

Armani also took the opportunity to launch new fashion items.

Liu Yifei, the brand ambassador, traveled abroad to attend a new product launch event.

Liu Yifei had a special conversation with Armani before attending the press conference.

After obtaining Armani's consent, Liu Yifei solemnly invited friends from all over the world to visit Beijing and watch the Olympics together at the end of the new product launch.

Armani's new product launch attracted numerous media outlets to broadcast it live.

Liu Yifei's invitation thus reached every household.

Liu Yifei's influence is evident at this moment.

Because it was right after Liu Yifei extended an invitation to Armani's new product launch.

There has been a very noticeable increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting Beijing.

Reporters then randomly interviewed some of the foreign tourists.

Sure enough, many of them came to the capital after receiving Liu Yifei's invitation.

When the news was reported by the media, everyone in the entertainment industry was thrilled.

Wu Kebo repeatedly claimed that "Red Cliff" was a successful cultural export.

However, this distorted cultural export is like a thorn in the side for many people.

Compared to Wu Kebo's distorted cultural export behavior, Liu Yifei's approach is the real cultural export!
Thanks to Liu Yifei's promotion, more and more foreigners are getting to know China anew!

Let's talk about movies alone.

Many of our films have won awards at international film festivals.

Many of these films are banned in China.

Because there are too many dark sides.

This kind of subject matter is exactly what foreign film festivals like.

Over time, many foreigners came to believe that China was the same as the China depicted in those dark movies.

However, when they actually came to China under Liu Yifei's influence, they discovered that what was depicted in the movie was a lie.

Liu Yifei's actions have also been recognized by official media, which have called on celebrities to learn from her.

"This is true cultural export!"

Although they didn't name names, the artists directly launched a barrage of criticism against "Red Cliff"!
"Stop hitting walls with cultural export, you're not qualified!"

The crucial point is that Wu Kebo didn't dare to utter a sound!

No matter how powerful he is, he wouldn't dare to go against the official media.

Meanwhile, Enlight Media also received a letter of thanks from the Olympic Organizing Committee, thanking Liu Yifei for her contributions to promoting the Olympics!

This is something only scorpion poop can have!
"Sisi, you're amazing!"

After Liu Yifei returned to China, the eldest sister Na Ying organized another reunion for the four sisters.

"Sisi did a great job this time! The airline has released the data: since you extended an invitation to Armani's new product launch, the number of foreign tourists visiting China has surged by 20%, and that number is still increasing!"
