Chapter 225: Don’t get involved!!!!!

The deal about Yao Ming ended perfectly!

Regardless of whether insiders doubt, approve or ridicule, this deal was really completed by the Knicks at a normal price.

What happens next is streamlined.

Dayao came to New York and fans across the city warmly welcomed him.

At the airport, on the road, and at the entrance of the arena, there are many fans watching the arrival of the Chinese giant.

And he was warmly entertained by the Knicks, and everyone on the team gave him and Armstrong a clean break.

However, because he had not yet fully recovered, he did not make a big deal about it. After a dinner party, he went to the New York Medical Center to continue treatment and recovery.

Jiang Chaozhen wasn't too excited when he saw him. After all, he had talked a lot in China, so it would be nice if he came.

Yao temporarily lives in the apartment of Arab League. The two Chinese giants may become the patron saints of the New York Knicks in the future???

Liu Yan used the Knicks official website and major social accounts to post pictures and texts to warmly welcome the two new players.

He also stamped Dayao with an indefinite truce to prevent fans from thinking too much.

After Dayao and Armstrong joined the team, they both posted long messages to thank the fans and the Knicks. The words were full of happiness.

Especially Armstrong, this is his hometown, and the feeling of playing for his hometown is completely different.

But Dayao said something particularly well:

May all the good things and expectations come true one by one.

There are a bunch of fans commenting below, yes, yes...

The young marshal only said one sentence to Dayao:

"You can rest assured and recover. We need you and we will definitely make good use of you. I have already designed the tactics. What we need is a healthy you."

And Dayao's old teammate Mark Jackson also shook his eyebrows at him.

You must know that he is the point guard who understands Yao Ming best in the Yao-Mai era. He knows what tactics Yao is most comfortable playing, so he is very happy that Yao comes to the Knicks.

Yao Ming, who no longer needed to use crutches at this time, looked at a group of young coaches and his old friends. He didn't feel like he was in a foreign place, he just felt at home.

"Wait until I come back."

Zhang Mingji posted these four words on Chinese social media for him, indicating that he himself is eager to come back.

Jiang Chao raised his head and patted Dayao on the back:

"Here, I'll give you two movie tickets. Your wife Ye Li is here and we can go watch a movie together."

…

Valentine's Day eve.

Hollywood Opera Theater.

Broadway umi cinema.

Couples sat in the cinema in twos and threes, looking forward to the gunfire at night.

The premiere of Chaoshen Entertainment's "Heartbeat" was held in these two places respectively.

Jiang Chao is now using a very "hypocritical" movie marketing method in the past few years, which is to notify movie channels and various movie media to hold a premiere before the movie is released. Simply put, it is to get more news in newspapers.

.

The mode of combining premieres and spot screenings can make spot screenings equivalent to a small-scale screening for half a month. However, if it has a good reputation, it is a good choice for spot screenings. On the contrary, the opposite effect is also very scary. Experienced people who have watched spot screenings

If fans post a few critical posts, the box office may lose millions.

After the Knicks successfully recruited Yao Ming, Chaoshen Entertainment also launched its debut.

Jiang Chao rushed to Hollywood, and Zhang Xiaolong was also here. This deputy was now really dedicated to his responsibilities. Anyway, his "Chao Chat" platform could be developed anywhere with a computer, so it was natural for Jiang Chao's main business to be there.

In his opinion, Chaoliao is just a recent "newcomer", and the "film and television" sector that Jiang Chao has cultivated for a long time is bound to bear fruit.

Lily Collins is indeed the most beautiful woman with thick eyebrows. She came up and gave her a hug:

"Brother Jiang Chao, you are here!"

Jiang Chao ruffled her hair and naturally saw the weakness of her father who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium. He kissed her side of the cheek and said with a smile:

“You’ve worked hard on publicity these days!”

Then he turned around and asked the director how the premiere was received.

Here the leading actor Bryce Ross happily shakes hands with Jiang Chao:

"It's very good. The seats are all full. This Valentine's Day, many boys will dislike their girlfriends!"

"How do you say that?" Jiang Chao looked at the handsome kid and said with a smile.

"After watching this movie, all boys will envy such a girlfriend! This is the love we boys dream of!"

"Okay, okay, Lily's acting skills should remind many people of their first love." He touched Lily's head and smiled.

This is the reason why he chose "Snow White". She is pure and youthful, and her appearance alone makes her so immersive that the look of his first love in his dream may be based on her.

However, Zhang Xiaolong was a little worried. He tentatively asked Jiang Chao if he could change the plot a little.

As a well-versed person in Chinese and American culture, he said the movie was too bland.

"Well, it's okay, Manager Zhang, please tell me carefully."

To be honest, Jiang Chao rarely hears dissenting voices in his ears. He was quite happy to hear this different voice. He likes people who are so loyal and disagreeable!

Then Zhang Xiaolong said that Americans may prefer vigorous love, and although the production team feels that American adults will feel the same, they will never come to the theater to watch it a second time, nor will they recommend friends to watch it, as they will feel bored.

Tasteless.

Spending money to watch such a boring movie is something American movie fans are not willing to do now.

They prefer impulsive violence and excitement.

Jiang Chao nodded:

"I know everything you said, that's why I want to win the Asian market and get good reputation."

Zhang Xiaolong:

"That's a must. I just think this one is more in line with the Asian market. Our Asian tastes definitely prefer this kind of freshness."

The two exchanged opinions, and Jiang Chao also felt the talent and learning displayed by Zhang Xiaolong.

After all, "Pumping Heart" belongs to the category of literary and romantic movies, the kind that you need to buy a CD and watch slowly at home many times.

The literary films that Americans like are the kind of wandering poets, road films in which people go on a journey and experience various things. To put it bluntly, it’s the story of a beautiful woman.

When you come to the theater to watch a love movie, what you want is forced sex, kissing, taking off your bra, 19-year-old ban...the kind that makes couples go to the hotel the next second after watching it.

In this era, Asians with more traditional ideas really like artistic films, and there are many excellent directors of artistic films, such as Chief Jia, Wong Kar-Wai, etc., who all make very interesting films.

The two people spoke in Chinese, which would not be understood by the crew. After all, saying this at the premiere would hurt morale.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong said it a bit late. The movie was released directly after Valentine's Day, so there was no room for changes.

Jiang Chao knew what he meant, which was to add those taboo contents, but if these were really added to the movie, it wouldn't be so amazing.

However, Zhang Xiaolong was right, it was indeed not suitable for business.

There were five movies released in theaters on Valentine's Day, and "Heartbeat" ranked last at the box office.

Even if it is a movie theater where the main creators go, there are only two or three couples wearing jerseys or four or five couples watching movies in the movie theater, and it is still late before it is full.

Both Hashimoto Kanna and Yang Chaoyue cried. They attributed this to the fact that they didn't choose a good schedule for Jiang Chao.

But in fact, what Jiang Chao saw was the power of capital.

Because the box office of the premiere was not good, it was only 1 million US dollars. In addition, Chaoshen Entertainment had no new funds to inject into mainstream theaters and asked them to help promote and increase film schedules.

When publicity and market feedback failed, major theater chains took off the production of "Heartbeat" produced by Boss Jiang, a cute new screenwriter and producer, early.

This made Jiang Jiang and Daddario, two super entertainment executives, furious, but they could only be incompetent and furious. They also have reasons. There are so many movies during Valentine's Day, who has time to wait for your follow-up?

Working hard...

The treatment of this kind of new film and television company is like this. It doesn't have a big start and expects capital to be optimistic about your follow-up. That's impossible. How many movies are waiting to be queued up to be released in theaters every day and every week.

Therefore, "Pumping Heart", which ended a week after its release, was like the ending in a movie. I don't know what the future will be like.

Both Jiang Chao and Chaoshen Entertainment have overestimated their influence. Movies must ultimately meet the market.

The final box office in the North American market was US$7.9 million, but Jiang Chao spent more than US$10 million in investment.

There is no way, in order to strive for excellence, he has a lot of equipment and the best that the team uses.

And because he didn’t raise any investment, this was all the investment made by him as the producer. If it weren’t for the daily cash flow from the team and Chaoshen Sports, it’s very likely that the movie wouldn’t be released so soon.

The media is ecstatic!!

Finally some squirted!

They had been depressed for a long time after Jiang Chao successfully traded Dayao. In addition, the Knicks' record has been very stable. It seems that the playoffs are certain. There are fewer and fewer points of criticism against Jiang Chao, the Chinese boss.
