American Fortune Life

Nozomi Sasaki, holding Xiaoniaoyiren on his arm and being looked at by many eyes, was a bit shy, but his eyes were full of joy. Seeing Nobuyuki Idei enthusiastically recommending celebrities in the footbath publishing industry to him, Andy, who was full of flowers at the scene, saw Sony wants to seek the sincerity of cooperation.

To be honest, establishing a cooperative relationship with Sony is really dispensable to Andy. After all, Sony is not brilliant. The fact is like blood. Sony, which was once full of vitality, is being tightly controlled by various stringent key performance indicators. Locked in, when managers only care about achieving higher performance goals in the next quarter, they ignore more important factors such as synergy in the organization, growth of personnel, vitality of innovation, and leadership ability of leaders. Sony quickly entered the waning plight, and it was performanceism that ruined Sony.

Of course, we have to admit that Sony has always been a global leader in the field of professional audio-visual. After all, the shooting, production, and post-production of Hollywood movies in the United States are inseparable from Sony's products, such as the shooting equipment of "Avatar" and "Transformers". etc., it can almost be said to form a unique monopoly in the world.

Just as some American media sources said, in a world without Sony, the earth would really stop spinning. In a sense, although Sony is affected by the economic downturn, it is still an innovative representative of foot basin companies in the world.

In Andy's eyes, the so-called advantages are limited to this. However, Andy, who is well versed in the way of sharing benefits, is also very good at drawing allies to fight against rivals. In Hollywood, he can be regarded as an opponent by Andy Only the Disney family, so he will cooperate with Warner, did not let Marvel get rid of Paramount, and maintain the relationship of enemy and friend with Murdoch of Fox, and now pull Sony Columbia, so that in the In the business competition against Disney, Universal can occupy a huge advantage.

"Indeed, anime and tokusatsu culture are popular. Hollywood has noticed this power many years ago. In 1998, "Godzilla" debuted in Hollywood. The big monster who debuted as a tokusai film was highly popular and expected, but the result However, it was brutally bombarded by fans. Even if the box office recovered, it still made Hollywood discouraged from changing the Japanese comic.

By the way, until this year, there was no "Dragon Ball" that has been released."

Speaking of this, Andy couldn't help but chuckled and looked at the group of bigwigs in the footbath comic book publishing industry around him who became extremely ugly and embarrassed, and continued: "However, there will be no accidents, this movie will die. In the early days, 20th Century Fox purchased the adaptation rights of "Dragon Ball" based entirely on commercial interests. For 20th Century Fox, "Dragon Ball" is a brand tool for the company to make money. The mentality of pitting one is one is that the American version of "Dragon Ball" has become like this.

Except for the name of Dragon Ball, all the elements in the movie are produced at the third-rate Hollywood level. The disrespect and irresponsibility of the adapted works caused by this unadorned money-grabbing attitude broke the audience's enthusiasm for the animation adaptation of the foot basin from the very beginning. Movie expectations.

And the consequence is that,

I believe that after "Dragon Ball", Hollywood's pace of adapting the animation of the foot basin will slow down rapidly. For a long time in the future, there will be no more Hollywood movies based on the animation of the foot basin. "

As soon as Andy's words came out, whether it was Sony's Nobuyuki Idei, or the heads of several famous comic publishing houses such as Shogakukan, Shueisha, and Kadokawa Bookstore, the faces became more and more ugly. From time to time, some people shook their heads helplessly. Silently toasted and drank all the wine in the cup, looking at each other, no country would not pay attention to cultural output, especially people in the industry. Excited for a long time.

Nozomi Sasaki, who was standing beside Andy, was affected by the oppressive atmosphere formed by the silence of a group of big figures, and even dared not breathe hard, and acted like a vase with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Nozomi Sasaki knows better than anyone else that her identity as an artist is nothing in the eyes of the group of bosses present. The reason why she can stand here is because Andy Smith, the richest man in the world, is interested in her. She also knew very well what she was about to face. However, instead of feeling sad, she was extremely excited and excited. She could clearly feel countless envious and jealous eyes falling on her. She believed that this once-in-a-lifetime event falling on her head Many industry actresses at the scene dreamed of the opportunity.

She will never miss this opportunity to change her destiny. The gloom and chaos in the foot basin entertainment industry is not much less than that of South Korea, where the turmoil is raging, and the hierarchy is stricter. The entertainment industry is full of many shocking secrets. The industry even divides the popularity, appearance and figure of female artists into four levels. The "dinner price" of each level is different, and further contact is calculated separately.

clean?

Big figures take advantage of their power and their status and influence in the entertainment industry. Threats abound, and even some appearances or job opportunities require paying a price to get the opportunity.

All the crows in the world are as black.

"Mr. Smith, do you have any insights and solutions?" Sony's Nobuyuki Idei suddenly said, not only made everyone in the publishing industry look at Andy expectantly, but also brought Nozomi Sasaki back to reality.

"Hehe, it's just a family talk. Let me talk about it. Let's listen to it." Andy smiled and stroked the waist of Nozomi Sasaki who was a little stiff, gave her a gentle look with a smile, comforted her, and then smiled He said to everyone.

"You are being polite!"

"Please point out the maze!"

"Thank you for your clarification"

Seeing a circle of middle-aged people who are 20 or 30 years older than him look serious, and bow to him respectfully to ask for advice, Andy is really in a weird mood. Anyway, this kind of etiquette and modesty of learning from the foot basin people is Can't fault it.

"In my opinion, the most important thing is "acclimatization". The failure of Hollywood's adaptation of the foot basin animation film is not only related to the lack of progress and speculation of the Hollywood film company that owns the IP, but also the irreconcilability between Eastern and Western cultures. , It is also an important reason why Hollywood is facing "difficulty in adapting" animation in the footbath.

And when this kind of incongruity is carried by the carrier of film and television works, the tearing feeling caused by cultural differences will be revealed at the moment of watching the movie. This tearing feeling, I gave it an easy-to-understand name called "Ray". The meaning of electric BO passing through.

Therefore, in the adaptation process, try to make up for the differences caused by the irreconcilability of Eastern and Western cultures, and reduce the "minefield" caused by cultural differences.

As for how to deal with this problem

Our Universal is trying to solve the problem of inattentive film production with large investment. In this regard, my Marvel Studios has done a good job, and the success of Iron Man is an example.

It is to add my own understanding on the premise of retaining the essence of the original work as much as possible, so that the adapted film can be displayed in front of the audience in a more profound and substantial manner, and at the same time, it can let the original fans see Hollywood's due respect for the original work.

Don't rush for quick success, think carefully about how to eliminate the irreconcilable nature caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West, and raise Hollywood's footbath animation adaptation movies to a new level! "

"Slap--"

After Andy finished speaking, there was a round of applause, and the applause was not limited to the big names in the publishing industry who were around Andy, who were listening to Andy's opinions, and others, and Andy faced the foot basin people The warm applause, just raised the wine glass in his hand with a bright smile, looked around, nodded, and responded to everyone.

"Wonderful and in-depth insights. The media say that you are an expert in oriental culture. Your understanding of Asian culture and humanities is expert-level. You really deserve your reputation and are really admirable!" Sony President Nobuyuki Idei's eyes were bright, with a smile on his face. With a bright smile and generous words, he praised Andy.

"Hehe, thank you." Andy accepted the other party's praise without humility. This is his confidence and his pride. He will not be humble with the foot basin people. The national nature of the foot basin people is that they are only willing to surrender and follow the strong. Showing weakness not only won't be respected, but will be bullied by the other party.

That's right, they are so bullying and afraid of being tough, but the more they despise and bully them, the more obedient and obedient they will be, you bitch!
