Seeing Wang Zhongjun's stunned expression, Feng Yu smiled happily. This is what the Chinese brothers will do in the future, but it’s just that the Chinese brothers haven’t implemented it yet.
Using Wang Zhongjun's own ideas to guide Wang Zhongjun, this feeling... is wonderful!
Wang Zhongjun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. But in this way, the management of the company will be much more troublesome, but as Mr. Feng said, it will be able to better control the resources of artists, especially stars among artists.
"Mr. Wang, have any of our company's artists gone abroad to develop? I mean abroad."
"Mr. Feng, please call me by my name. I really don't dare to be called @ novel wwwＷ.m. Our company's artists are gradually expanding outward, mainly to Southeast Asia and other places." Feng Yu called him Mr. Wang, and Wang Zhongjun always felt a little bit Harsh, who can be the boss in front of Feng Yu
"Then I'll call you Zhong Jun. The Southeast Asia and other places you're talking about allow singers to perform or actors to promote movies, right?"
"Yes, it is like that."
"This is not enough. You should find a way to make them become real big stars abroad. The best way is to let them have works that are popular with foreigners first."
Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Feng, this is easy to say, but too difficult to do. Our Chinese culture is very influential in Asia, but there is still a big gap between us and the West, that is, Europe and the United States. We think They can’t understand good works at all.”
Feng Yu smiled: "Then let's make the script simpler. We don't make movies with connotations, but just commercial movies. In movies, the plot is very important, but the visual picture is equally important. Look at the so-called blockbusters in Europe and the United States. , both show excellent visual effects, why can't we do this? The plot is simpler and reflects personal heroism, which is most in line with Western values, but it is not unacceptable on our side."
In the past, there were many popcorn movies in Europe and the United States. The plots could not withstand scrutiny at all, but the audience just bought them. It’s because the visual effects are well done and the scenes look exciting. Most people watch movies for nothing more than a pastime. How many of them watch movies with a critical eye
Those literary films don't do well at the box office. No matter how good your acting is, the audience won't buy it. So what if I win a prize? Isn’t it still not making money
How the market prospers is not driven by the so-called award-winning movies, but because movies can attract more audiences and sell well at the box office. Only then will more people enter the TV market, and this industry will prosper.
Just like the Hong Kong film production back then, the output was the second in the world, and there were hundreds of large and small film companies. How big of a place was Hong Kong
It was only later that blindly saving costs caused the movies to become more and more shoddy, and they slowly declined. It was not until the appearance of "Infernal Affairs" that the Hong Kong film market began to recover, and Hong Kong movies were once again launched in European and American theaters.
"The plot is too simple, so the story isn't very straightforward?" Wang Zhongjun asked worriedly.
"If you look at our traditional martial arts movies, the plot is very simple. A kills B, and B's son C learns martial arts to seek revenge from A. During this period, there may be A's daughter D, who develops a relationship with C. In this kind of movie, everyone You can understand it, and what everyone sees is that the scene is lively. You hit me, I hit you, fight and kill. How many people liked it at that time? Americans are relatively simple-minded. After all, it is recognized by the world that Asians have the highest average IQ. .”
"So our previous martial arts drama routines can be adapted, but we can't make them in ancient costumes, but make them modern, or even futuristic. Fighting + love, or a little comedy, that's a commercial movie The most important routine, this one, is not difficult at all.”
"But there are no companies in Europe and the United States buying the movies we made." In the past two years, the Chinese brothers have also been thinking about exporting movies, but they failed miserably in the American market, and no one paid attention to the European market. Why send movies to film festivals like Venice and Cannes? It’s not just to sell the movies.
"If you can't sell it, it's because you haven't found the right person. Coincidentally, Fengyu Electronics has cooperated with several major film companies in the United States, and may be able to help you recommend movies there. But you also need to do what I said. To do it, the movie should be straightforward and simple, with visual effects highlighted, and humor should be through body expressions, etc. Language is not enough."
"There is also an agency in the United States that is known as the number one agency in the world, called Elite Agency. You can think of ways to cooperate with them and push our artists and celebrities to the United States and even the world through them. Accordingly, we can bring their customers to the Chinese market."
China is now in a period of economic explosion, and the film market is on the rise. In the past few years, movies have started to make money one after another. Moreover, Fengyu Electronics controlled the copyright of optical discs and provided some necessary protection for them, which resulted in fewer Chinese pirated discs at this time. Some low-cost movies could earn back their money by selling the discs alone.
Europe and the United States have also always wanted to explore the emerging market in China. There are so many people in China, and even if only 1% of them watch their movies, how much will the box office cost
"It's easy to introduce artists from Europe and the United States, but it's not easy to export our artists, right?"
"So, you still have to have good works. Whether it is a song or a movie, as long as it can be liked by Europe and the United States, then this person can become famous there. For example, those singers in Xiangjiang are promoted in this way Yes. They can even hold concerts in Europe and the United States, but in fact those Europeans and Americans don’t understand what they are singing at all.”
"One more thing, you know that many celebrities made their debut in advertisements, right? We can push Chinese celebrities to Europe and the United States as advertising spokespersons, so that they can become familiar with each other first, and then Then come up with good works.”
Not only in China, but also in Europe and the United States, there are advertising stars who have turned into actors and achieved great success. Even many of them were tepid when they were actors, but they became popular after filming commercials, and then they continued to be filmed and became more and more popular.
"Mr. Feng, I understand. I will make detailed plans later, and I will definitely be able to transport our artists to Europe and the United States." Wang Zhongjun expressed his position loudly.
"That's right. First of all, you must have confidence in yourself. If you don't believe it, how can you succeed? Those who change the world must first have a heart to change the world. Do it boldly, I am optimistic about you!"
