Chapter 1692 Influence

On the fifth morning, I ended my publicity in Hungary as soon as possible, and then I could fly to Romania in the morning to promote it. I arrived in Greece at noon, and flew directly across Europe to north to Poland in the afternoon.

The sixth day arrived in Finland, then the west flew to Switzerland at noon and Norway at night.

On the seventh day, we went to Denmark in the morning and to the Netherlands at noon and to Belgium in the afternoon.

Movie promotion, especially when time is limited, is really not a good job, and it can even be said to be the hardest thing. For example, Kim Yu-fan and Stewart Christine are now deeply experienced.

There are almost two or three countries' publicity in a day, and the time of the plane and the driving journey is removed. In the meantime, the two of them have almost no time to rest unless they sleep in the hotel late at night. And even so, they may have to get up early the next morning or even get off the next plane, without any private time, and no rest time.

This kind of days and itinerary, and you will be interviewed thousands of times, meetings for fans, and on talk shows. This is really boring. This day is really painful and can make people irritate or even go crazy.

In a week, most of the European countries have been basically traveled to all, almost all countries with stable countries and good economies have been traveled to all countries.

After spending a week traveling around Europe, Kim Yu-fan and his group breathed a sigh of relief, then boarded a plane and flew to Asia and headed to China. As for Russia, I'm sorry, it's too far away and I really can't go. Anyway, Russia has never been a ticket station, so it doesn't matter whether it goes or not.

In the next week, it was mainly aimed at publicity in Asia. As Kim Yu-fan's base camp, Kim Yu-fan has a very terrifying popularity and influence in Asia, especially Southeast Asia, which also makes it much easier for the promotion of the movie.

In fact, in Asia, the most important thing is to focus on several Southeast Asian countries. In total, there are only three places: China, Japan and South Korea. Especially China and Japan, as the second and third votes in the world, this is certain and it is also a place where any movie must be promoted.

As for South Korea, this is also because of Kim Yu-fan, and there will definitely be a stop for South Korea. And don’t underestimate South Korea. Although South Korea’s country is small and there are few people, the film industry is indeed very developed. It has gradually become the fourth vote station in the world. Even if there is no Kim Yu-fan, when you come to Asian crews, you will go to South Korea to promote it. After all, South Korea’s vote station is very powerful.

According to data released in 2014, North America (US and Canada) was the world's number one vote, China second, Japan third, and South Korea ranked fourth.

This also means that promoting movies in Asia only requires promoting them in three countries, including China, Japan and South Korea, in Southeast Asia, which is basically the same as completing them.

As for Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, there is indeed a certain market, but for the huge global box office, the film market in these countries can almost be ignored directly.

In short, in Asia, especially Southeast Asian countries, there have always been only three places for film promotion, namely China, Japan and South Korea. As for other countries, they can be ignored.

Why Southeast Asia, not the whole Asia, damn Central Asia and even West Asia, under the halo of Allah, let alone movies, even the super king Michael Jackson of that year would not dare to go over to hold concerts. Religion is very terrifying.

The existence of Asia, especially China, Japan and South Korea, as the film market becomes better and better, has gradually become the core of Hollywood's attention. After all, no matter who can't get along with, it will not be difficult to get along with money. If you want to make money by making movies, you have to look at the box office. In terms of box office, Asia, China, Japan and South Korea cannot be ignored.

In 2014, according to data published in the Annual Report of the American Film Association, the annual movie box office reached 37.5 billion US dollars, of which the United States contributed $10.4 billion, accounting for 28% of the total annual power box office. China followed closely with $4.8 billion, accounting for 13%, while Japan's $1.7 billion and 5% accounted for third place, and South Korea's $1.4 billion US dollars accounted for fourth place.

From this data, it is enough to see how big the movie box office market in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. Together, China, Japan and South Korea are almost about to reach the movie box office market in North America. Why doesn’t Hollywood pay attention to such a huge movie ticket store?

Since 2010, more and more Hollywood productions have begun to seek actors from China, Japan and South Korea to participate in this. The purpose is not to be for the box office market of China, Japan and South Korea. Even if there are no three countries, at least the box office of the Asian actors in the country is guaranteed by the actors in this country.

Therefore, more and more Chinese, Japanese and Korean actors can also join Hollywood productions, but unfortunately they will never be able to change their fate of making soy sauce.

However, the appearance of Kim Yu-hwan has led to this embarrassment for Asian actors. Although Kim Yu-hwan cannot be considered successful now, at least before Kim Yu-hwan, there has never been an Asian actor who can succeed in Hollywood like Kim Yu-hwan.

The great success of the "Twilight" movie series has enabled Kim Yu-hwan to take the most solid first step. More importantly, the "Twilight" movie series is a series of movies, but it doesn't end in one movie. As the absolute soul and core of the movie starring, director and screenwriter, the "Twilight" movie series has become more and more successful, which will be of great help to Kim Yu-hwan's development in Hollywood.

Because of this, many Asian media are still full of concern for Kim Yu-fan's trip to Hollywood, but at least they are full of expectations. At least, Kim Yu-fan is an Asian actor who has entered Hollywood so far, with the best initially and the most likely to truly gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Brad Pitt invited Kim Yu-fan to participate in the movie "World of Zombies", which was not just because Kim Yu-fan's performance in the "Twilight" movie series. Because of the "Twilight" movie series, Kim Yu-fan gained a high popularity and influence. In addition, Kim Yu-fan's absolute popularity and influence in Asia, this made Brad Pitt finally invite Kim Yu-fan to participate in the movie "World of Zombies".

Otherwise, even if James Steve had favors to Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt would not have invited Kim Yu-fan casually for the sake of the movie, for his own image and reputation.

The reason why Brad Pitt invited Kim Yu-fan was first of all, that Kim Yu-fan's agent was James Steve, a team that was kind to him. Brad Pitt could not pretend not to know. Secondly, Kim Yu-fan's huge popularity among young girls and women all over the world. More importantly, Kim Yu-fan's absolute popularity and status in Asia. In order to repay the favor in the box office of the movie, Brad Pitt invited Kim Yu-fan to participate in "World of the Zombie War".

Otherwise, if Brad Pitt can't find any actor in Hollywood, he doesn't have to find an Asian actor from Kim Yu-fan.

When I came to Asia, as Kim Yu-fan's absolute base camp, and the main thing is that I only need to promote it in China, Japan and South Korea, so I have to relax in my itinerary. At least I don't need to fly around and fly around all day to do publicity like before in Europe.

The itinerary is much easier, and Asia, especially Southeast Asia, is Kim Yu-fan's base camp and chassis, so in terms of film promotion, the staff of the 20th Century Fox who followed him will also ask Kim Yu-fan for his opinions.

Kim Yu-fan did not put on airs, but just said modestly, starting from China, then to Japan, and finally to South Korea, and then back to the United States according to his previous itinerary.

The staff of Twentieth Century Fox had no objection to this, after all, this is how the promotion of the previous two "Twilight" in Asia was done.

With Kim Yu-fan's nod, Twentieth Century Fox naturally began to contact and arrange it. Because it took a week, this time the publicity was much easier than before in Europe.

It is normal for China and Japan to promote. As Kim Yu-fan’s base camp, Kim Yu-fan, who has a very high popularity and popularity in both China and Japan, completely let Stewart Christine and others know that Asia is definitely my home court.

Whether in China or Japan, the crazy fans' encirclement and support along the way immediately made Stewart Christine and the staff of 20th Century Fox experience Kim Yu-fan's absolute popularity and influence in Asia.

When Stewart Christine and the staff of 20th Century Fox came to South Korea, the last stop in Asia, they realized how popular and influence Kim Yu-fan was.

As Kim Yu-fan's absolute base camp, Kim Yu-fan's popularity and influence in Korea are no exaggeration and even reaching an exaggeration level. Well, it can be said that it has reached a terrifying level.

In an interview with KBS TV, Stewart Kristen, who was very curious about this, couldn't help but ask reporters about Kim Yu-fan's popularity and influence in South Korea.

The reporter's unhesitant answer immediately made Stewart Christine and the staff of 20th Century Fox completely stunned.

Because the reporter's answer was very straightforward, very simple and direct, that is, it means that Kim Yu-fan is the most popular and influential person in South Korea. There is no doubt that even if he is the president, or the Samsung Group and other waves of SS, his popularity and influence in South Korea cannot be compared with Kim Yu-fan.

Since Kim Yu-fan retired from the military service, for five years, Kim Yu-fan has always been the first in the Korean celebrity list and the first influential list. No matter it is the president, the other group's big waves, or anyone else, it cannot shake Kim Yu-fan's position, and even the distance is very large.

After the interview with KBS TV, Kim Yu-fan and Stewart Kristen and his group left and prepared to go to a theater on Chungwu Road, because there was a meeting of fans.

On the way, Stewart Christine looked at Kim Yu-fan in surprise: "Kim, although I have come to South Korea to promote twice before, I also know your popularity and influence in Korea, but to be honest, almost every time I come to South Korea, I will be shocked by your popularity and influence in Korea. Kim, you are really amazing. You have truly achieved the ultimate of an artist. No artist can have such a terrifying influence in a country like you. Michael Jackson can't do this, which is simply unimaginable."

Although Michael Jackson is very awesome and an absolute god, he still cannot achieve the popularity and influence of Kim Yu-fan in South Korea in the United States. This is an indisputable fact. Michael Jackson can only be said to be the number one singer in the United States at most, that's all, but it's all, because the United States has a large number of great singers at the level of a great god. Michael Jackson, who is like a god, cannot achieve the level of covering the sky with one hand. Compared with Kim Yu-fan's popularity and influence in South Korea, it is indeed inferior.

Kim Yu-fan smiled: "Your words are a bit exaggerated. Michael is my idol, you know. And you should understand that although Michael cannot have absolute influence in the United States, it is because the United States is large, with a large population, and has too many excellent people. But Michael's influence is unquestionable. At least no one can do that. As an American, whether he goes to Europe or Asia, he can reach a sensation and completely crush the top stars of that country. I can't do this."

"In fact, if Michael is still there, coming to Korea to hold a concert will be enough to kill me in terms of popularity and influence." Speaking of Michael Jackson, Kim Yu-fan was still full of respect. After all, Michael Jackson is really a god-like man, almost reaching the extreme of a singer, which is something that no one has ever done.

Even the Beatles were the situation at that time, and the Internet was not popular, and the information was circulated slowly. Although the Beatles were the most deservingly greatest band, their popularity and influence were really not as good as Michael Jackson.

Well, to put it incorrectly, at least Michael Jackson also had terrifying popularity and influence in Russia, but in that era, the Beatles did not dare to go to the Soviet Union at all.

Of course, this is a matter of the situation. The Beatles actually entered the Soviet Union and held a concert on the iconic Red Square, which was three months before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Due to a series of reasons, some people even called the Beatles disintegrating the Soviet Union. This is an exaggeration and is the effect of the media on the Beatles' myth.

A huge one that can always threaten the United States and the entire NATO, especially the Beatles, can collapse. No matter how powerful the Beatles are, it is just a band, not a musical fantasy world. The Beatles can crush everyone with their own music.

The Beatles are undoubtedly the greatest band, but if they really have the popularity and influence, Kim Yu-fan personally thinks that Michael Jackson is undoubtedly better.

"Hehe, okay, I admit that Michael is indeed great, but to be honest, your popularity and influence in Korea are really terrifying, that's too exaggerated. I even suspect that if you stand in front of the public and want to go to the government, the entire Korean people will probably support you and force the government to agree to your proposal."

"Haha!" Kim Yu-fan could only laugh at this. That's it, and for his popularity and influence, Kim Yu-fan also believes that as long as he really does, the result will definitely be as Stewart Christine said, and countless fans and citizens support him to force the South Korean government.

But what's the use of this? It's not a big deal. The South Korean government will compromise and agree to its own request. Then it will cause trouble for itself in various ways and completely break itself out of the entertainment industry. Even considering its influence in South Korea, it will even break itself out of South Korea and not allow itself to enter.

Once you encounter the bottom line of the South Korean government, Kim Yu-hwan either runs away or is killed by the South Korean government. This is beyond doubt. Kim Yu-hwan is just an artist, an ordinary person, and has not been so awesome to influence a country, especially a country with a bottom line and power.

In fact, there is no one in this world who can do this with his own strength. To put it bluntly, if it were not the president of the United States, without this identity, and without the full support of the huge United States, no one would have missed him, let alone abroad, even within the United States.

In short, personal strength cannot compete with national strength at all, and Kim Yu-fan has never had this plan, especially in South Korea, a country with a great influence on South Korea. As the number one artist in South Korea, Kim Yu-fan is now the most popular and influential artist in South Korea, including the most well-known person, he is usually as low-key and cautious as possible.

After all, Kim Yu-hwan is not afraid that the South Korean government will feel unhappy. After all, for any government, an individual with a huge influence appears within the country. Even when you think of the entire South Korea, it is an unstable factor. In this case, if Kim Yu-hwan fails to do anything, he will be captured by the South Korean government. Just like dealing with Kang Ho-dong, he will completely step on Kim Yu-hwan's detective in a few moves, so that Kim Yu-hwan's influence will be reduced to the extreme.

Didn’t Kang Ho-dong become the most influential artist in South Korea with the great success of "Two Days and One Night". In addition, Kang Ho-dong’s strong style has surpassed the South Korean president for several years, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the South Korean president, so if you find an opportunity, you will almost make Kang Ho-dong unable to get up.

This is true for Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong. If Yoo Jae-suk hadn't done it perfectly, Kim Yu-hwan would have been extremely low-key, and he was the president of McC, the company would not be able to frame Kim Yu-hwan. Kim Yu-hwan probably would have taken action against him and Yoo Jae-suk.
