Since 1983

Later generations of Chinese companies bought all over the world, but now there are no such companies, especially those who make movies.

It seems like a fantasy to many people to invest overseas in making films, but Boss Xu said it out.

"After I had an idea, I completed a script. Last year at the Berlin Film Festival, I happened to meet representatives from Japan's Boli Jiayin and South Korea's Finecut.

Both are published overseas.

Boli Jiayin has launched a so-called Asian project, investing in "Sometimes Dancing" in Hong Kong, "Yiyi" in Taiwan, and a work by Shunji Iwai in Japan.

But I think it is too general and lacks pertinence, so I proposed Pan-Asian cooperation.

First of all, some cultures in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are interlinked, and there is no cognitive barrier.

Second, these regions have been invaded by Hollywood and their home markets have shrunk.

The audience in these areas is as high as more than one billion. Even if the mainland is removed, there is still a huge market of 200-300 million.

The so-called pan-Asian cooperation means transforming local resources into regional resources, and achieving market integration through talent sharing, cross-border investment, joint production, distribution, etc.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for purely foreign films to enter the local market, and there are no preferential policies. If joint investment is made, or even a few local actors are added to it, and it becomes a co-production, then it can not only come in, but also export.

It can be released in multiple markets, virtually expanding the audience, and the cost is much lower than Hollywood. "

"..."

The people below looked surprised, and once again exceeded their thinking and self-confidence.

In the domestic market, all the horses are silent, and it is thriving. As a result, this thriving is not satisfied with internal development, and it is already developing overseas.

"Mr. Xu, can you introduce this movie?"

"Invested by Tianxia, ​​Sunshine, Boli Jiayin, and Finecut, about 200 million yuan (claimed). Directed by Tsui Hark, starring Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, and famous Japanese and Korean actors.

In a few days, it will be launched in Japan, and I will rush there, and I will announce it one after another, but you may not be interested. "

"Why?"

"Because this movie does not enter the mainland market, it is a zombie movie, and it earns foreign exchange."

Why!

In a word, Doutou poured a basin of cold water.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Xu, why don't you choose a subject that can be released in mainland China?"

"This cooperation is long-term. The first film is also a test of the water. If it succeeds, it will definitely be considered in the follow-up."

"How was the main creator selected?"

"The projects I proposed are naturally mainly Chinese-language filmmakers, otherwise, wouldn't it be making wedding dresses for others?"

"Then do you have any plans to invest in Hollywood?"

"It depends on the situation. There are domestic restrictions on private enterprises, and international restrictions on China. If possible, I would certainly like to try."

Um?

The reporter snickered, people go overseas to invest, is there no limit to this?

I don’t know, no one thought of it, so there are no rules!

In 2011, Beijing's Xinyuan Entertainment Company, the first company to invest overseas, invested 10 million US dollars in "Cloud Atlas", and the results were not good.

Later, after slowly exploring experience, "Transformers 4", "Mission Impossible 5", "Terminator 5", "Megalodon", "Pacific Rim 2", etc., as well as the famous "Great Wall" emerged.

Wanda even acquired Legendary Films, intervening in the upstream of the industrial chain.

It looks mighty, but in addition to its strong production capabilities, Hollywood also has stronger distribution capabilities. So far, there is no film company in China that can achieve global distribution.

Even if you occupy the upstream, the distribution is still in the hands of others.

Cactus has theatrical distribution channels, and is planning to acquire audiovisual distributors to expand the distribution channels of audiovisual products.

If Boss Xu took the case and revealed all his trumpets, it would definitely be big international news. But he can't be exposed now, he has to use Hong Kong's shell.

Even so, today's press conference is full of rumors.

Seeing that the teacup was empty, Xu Fei said, "It's almost there, one last question, is there any more?"

"..."

After a short silence, they all raised their hands.

He clicked on the reporter of "Beijing Youth Daily", and the other party said: ""The Unknown" signed up for this year's Golden Rooster Award last year, and then you bombarded the Golden Rooster.

If "Nobody's Name" is nominated, will you participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards? "

"Won't."

brush! All excited.

"You said to set up a new award, do you have a plan?"

"Or to put pressure on the golden rooster, to talk about it verbally?"

"Are you launching this year? Do you have a name?"

Teacher Xu is like an aunt in a cafeteria. Looking at a group of children who come to beg for food, she began to shake her hands habitually: "I was busy before, so I didn't take care of it. It's already brewing."

"Is it a model of cooperating with the media?"

"good."

"Has the partner been chosen?"

"It's hard to be honest with so many excellent media in the country. I think it's like this. Let's meet together another day, chat with each other about ideas, and see who we can reach an agreement with."

"You mean, not only cooperate with one company?"

"Can a single media support such a big award? In other words, is it meaningful to go all out to create a broken award that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing?"

Xu Fei stood up, "Okay, let's go here."

"..."

It was quiet for a while, and suddenly, like boiling water, almost everyone took out their mobile phones and called the editor-in-chief immediately.

…………

When the news broke out, there was a lot of noise.

Before waiting for all parties to act, Zhang Guoshi was in a hurry, and hurried to find Xu Fei: "Oh, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"say what?"

"Martial arts blockbuster, when am I going to make a martial arts blockbuster? I'm writing a script for a literary film, and I haven't decided whether to make it or not."

"You've been writing this script for half a year, why didn't you think about it?"

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won an Oscar and was so successful. If I make a martial arts show, some people will say follow suit..."

Zhang Guoshi was worried.

Xu Fei took the script and flipped through it casually, and it really is the way of a literary film.

The ending is what I said before, the king of Qin flicked the assassin, made him willing to die, and was shot into a hedgehog, and then all the ministers said together:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for escaping another catastrophe!"

He closed the script and said, "I've included it in the five-year plan, don't make any more art films, and turn it into a blockbuster."

"Big movie?"

Zhang Guoshi was very moved. When a director of his status opens a new film, he either encounters a good story or wants to try something new.

I haven't tried the blockbuster myself.

"Can you make money? Don't lose money."

"Now the market is good and oriental martial arts are hot, just go ahead and shoot. How many people, how many horses, how many props do you need, I will find it for you.

There is no problem with the actors, Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Manyu, Leslie Cheung, Ge You, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun can choose at will. "

Whoa!

Zhang Guoshi's heart began to beat, "Then let me try?"

"Try! I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Just a little..."

Xu Fei made a request: ""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" earns a lot of money, but we are too bored to watch it.

This film is also going to make a lot of money. I don't ask you to balance the audience at home and abroad, that's too difficult. Just don't make the film so boring, as it will have some domestic box office. "

"How much is a bit?"

"Well, it must be 200 million."

Zhang Guoshi: "???"

(besides……)
