The market is actually like a siege.
The people inside wanted to get out.
People outside want to come in.
Hollywood is a huge movie market.
Domestic films are also hungry for overseas markets.
But for now, the domestic market developed by Hollywood is definitely better developed at this stage.
As for domestic films going abroad, there are actually quite a few literary and artistic films going abroad.
There are really not many commercial films.
"The Great Wall" was also a blockbuster hit globally.
So Wu Ershan was surprised to hear what Yue Guan said.
"Yue Guan, "Feng Shen" won't perform very well overseas... right?"
"Whether it is available is one thing, but whether it is done or not is another matter. In addition, compared to other types of movies, this kind of commercial special effects blockbusters are actually the easiest to export because the plot is very simple and the special effects are very good. "
Most foreigners will definitely not be able to understand the original work of "Feng Shen Bang".
But the story told in the movie "Fengshen" is nothing more than the story of the immortal sect oppressing the heaven and the human dynasty, and then both sides rose up to resist.
The IQs of people from all over the world are not much different, so they can definitely understand such a simple story.
Coupled with the good special effects, we can actually look forward to the market.
"Director Wu, don't forget that we were able to occupy the world in the past." Yue Guan reminded.
If he hadn't reminded him, Wu Ershan would have almost forgotten this background, just like many other readers.
Everything that exists must leave traces.
Therefore, historical movies about the empire on which the sun never sets in previous lives can have a huge market in the ugly country.
Cultural invasion is actually something that cannot be stopped.
Otherwise, not so many people in the Dragon Kingdom would like the superheroes created by Hollywood movies.
If the Dragon Kingdom exports comedies, police and gangster films, and literary and artistic films, it will definitely not be able to conquer movie fans around the world, because even Hollywood movies of this type cannot conquer the world.
Not to mention the whole world, the smiles in the south and north of the Dragon Kingdom are different.
But special effects blockbusters and superhero blockbusters are okay.
Because they are simple enough and the special effects are cool enough.
After Wu Ershan was reminded by Yue Guan, he remembered this incident, but this background was not particularly helpful to domestic movies before.
Otherwise, "The Great Wall" wouldn't have hit the streets.
So Wu Ershan didn't think about this for a while.
After being reminded by Yue Guan, Wu Ershan's eyes lit up.
"It seems like this. If our movie special effects can be comparable to Hollywood, then even if our commercial special effects blockbusters are not as good as Hollywood's years of hard work, there is still a certain market."
Yue Guan nodded: "In the past, the special effects of domestic movies were not good, and they were generally at least ten years behind Hollywood. In this case, it is naturally impossible to conquer movie fans around the world, but our special effects technology is no worse than Hollywood's now, why not give it a try and go abroad?"
It is actually impossible to counterattack the world in a short time or even a long time.
Because watching movies is a habit.
But it is actually possible to slowly encroach on the global market and boil the frog in warm water.
Subtly, future commercial special effects blockbusters of domestic films may be calculated based on global box office.
Wu Ershan was a little excited when Yue Guan said it.
He is a generation younger than directors like Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and others, but as a director, no one has the dream of conquering the world.
Just like those who are celebrities also want to be people's artists.
"When are we leaving?" Wu Ershan couldn't wait.
"In three days, Director Wu, please prepare your personal information and salute, and we will leave together then."
"No problem, I'll wait for your news at any time."
People in the entertainment industry like them often go abroad to participate in film festivals, and going abroad has almost become a habit.
When going abroad this time, Yue Guan, the crew member of "Fengshen", did not bring anyone else with him, but Wu Ershan.
Talking about cooperation is not about promotion, and there is no point in bringing in too many celebrities.
Of course, Mo Xiangwan would definitely follow.
And Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin went to help him. She had worked abroad for several years before and had some connections in this area.
Yue Guan introduced Zhang Yin and Mo Xiangwan to each other, and then the two women got together and seemed to be very interested in each other.
Wu Ershan secretly gave Yue Guan a thumbs up.
Real tiger.
Not even married yet, he dared to let two women have contact in advance.
Wu Ershan is a veteran, so he can naturally tell that both women have a close relationship with Yue Guan.
In fact, Yue Guan didn't think that much.
This trip abroad was just for business. Since both Mo Xiangwan and Zhang Yin could help, it was natural to take them both with them.
As for other things, why think about it so much
The overseas markets for domestic films are actually mainly Europe and the Americas.
However, the film market in Europe is much smaller than that in the Americas. Yue Guan and the others have previously discussed within the company that they still prefer to sell the overseas rights to the first part of "Fengshen" at one price, because only in this way, on other people's territory , will give you the best possible publicity.
Otherwise, for a foreigner, it is impossible for the other party to use all its distribution channels and resources to cooperate with you, and the influence that "Fengshen" can achieve will be greatly reduced.
The same goes for Hollywood movies coming to China to compete for the market. For a period of time, we can see Hollywood movies being released crazily and vying for the box office. In fact, the money may not be made by Hollywood.
The greater possibility is that these Hollywood movies have been bought out by our own people, and then all the box office profits go to Long Film or other companies.
This is how everyone plays, and Yue Guan doesn't expect any exceptions.
The question now is how much it can be sold for at a fixed price.
Zhang Yin looked at Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, this is your first time doing business. You have to be prepared. You may not be able to make too much money."
"I know, I'll do my best. This time I didn't do it to make money. In fact, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning."
If he really wants to make money, he still has to establish himself domestically.
Even if the "Fengshen" series sells well overseas, he may not be able to get much money.
But at his level, if you want to make money, you don’t have to go through the box office.
Through capital means, the stock price actually makes more money than the box office.
For capitalists, box office is actually not what they value most.
Even for the above, box office is not the most important thing.
Some ethereal influence can actually be exchanged for money and reputation.
So Yue Guan came.
Things went much smoother than Yue Guan expected.
Because he wants his movies to enter the Western market, and Hollywood wants its movies to enter the Eastern market.
In the case of mutual demand, because they were optimistic about the overseas box office potential of the "Feng Shen" series and Yue Guan as a person, the first part of "Feng Shen" actually sold for a price that surprised Yue Guan.
