The Director of Music Department

In fact, not only people from Cao Meng and Ahri Media think that "Infernal Affairs" is about to explode in North America.

Because to put it bluntly, the treatment "Infernal Affairs" received in North America is absolutely unprecedented.

At least it can be said that the adaptation rights have never been looted.

But "Infernal Affairs" did it, and it wasn't just for show, but really liked it.

In addition, the word-of-mouth screenings of the Chinese community are indeed very good, and many film critics and media people have given quite good evaluations. Therefore, when these situations are reported back to China, almost everyone feels that "Infernal Affairs" The North American box office is in order.

Cao Meng is like this, Times Light and Shadow is like this, Ahri Media is like this, even Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun think it should be like this.

Ahri Media has already contacted Cao Meng and others, asking them to prepare to go to North America for publicity.

Perhaps before "Infernal Affairs", although Chen Dahua, Chen Qingyun and others were well-known in China, they were really unknown in North America.

But once "Infernal Affairs" explodes, then the leading actors of the two movies, Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun, will definitely not worry about not being famous.

Of course, because "Infernal Affairs" hasn't been released in China yet, the publicity needs to be communicated.

Lin Husheng also felt the same way, this time Wang Yifan was probably mistaken.

There is nothing wrong with this, and it will not damage Wang Yifan's reputation. After all, he is a human being, not a god.

"Are you still insisting that "Infernal Affairs" is difficult to make a difference in North America?" Zhang Zirong also looked at her boyfriend with some curiosity and asked.

Wang Yifan shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, Ahri's strategy is good, but the problem is that the views of Chinese audiences can hardly represent the North American market."

Zhang Zirong asked again: "But, film critics and the media are always different, right? And "Infernal Affairs" is indeed very popular, isn't it?"

Wang Yifan embraced the young lady's waist, and said with a smile, "It's not that "Infernal Affairs" is popular, but the creativity and format of the movie "Infernal Affairs" are popular, understand?"

Zhang Zirong frowned slightly and said, "But as far as I know, there is no shortage of movies with a similar model in Hollywood, so why are they vying for the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs"?"

Wang Yifan said nonchalantly: "Normally, first of all, "Infernal Affairs" is indeed not difficult for those professionals to find that it is a pretty good movie. In terms of film critics, the cultural level of film critics in North America is relatively higher than that of ordinary film critics." The audience of the movie is much higher, no matter how unpopular something is, they will do some research work due to professional needs, so it is normal for them to give this movie a good review.

As for North America, there are many similar undercover movies, that's true, but don't forget, the copyright in North America is very strict, if you really put aside "Infernal Affairs" and make a similar movie, when the time comes , not to say whether they will be sued, but to their reputation, plagiarism is not a good reputation.

Moreover, as for the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", if my prediction is correct, these companies are all interested, but the price they offer will not be too high.

Simply put, the plot of "Infernal Affairs" can indeed be transformed into the American version, which is easier for North American audiences to accept, so this is also the reason on the one hand, and the other reason is that the film expresses things , more in line with the appetite of Oscar's group of old guys.

Fate, human nature, the dark side of society, etc. Therefore, if this movie is actually adapted, it must be a relatively well-known director, because such a movie is easier to win awards.

But all of this has nothing to do with the Huaguo version of "Infernal Affairs". "

Wang Yifan continued: "In fact, there are many things in "Infernal Affairs", which are completely different from what North American audiences perceive."

"For example, the police in Hong Kong Island are completely different from the police in North America, which makes it difficult for them to feel a sense of substitution. For example, drug lords, associations, etc., there are also huge differences between North America and Hong Kong Island. Therefore, Do you think the audience can accept it?"

"Finally, "Infernal Affairs" is filled with a large number of lines and dialogues, and these are also the basis for this film to gain such a high reputation, but these dialogues, these lines, are completely used in the habits of our people The words used are completely different from the habits in North America."

"To put it simply, because the main market of "Infernal Affairs" is local, there are many things to avoid, so, have you noticed that there are very few vulgar language in this movie?" Wang Yifan asked.

Zhang Zirong thought about it carefully and nodded, a little stunned and a little surprised: "It's really like this."

"If you think back carefully to the early Hong Kong Island movies, as long as there are movies about clubs and young and Dangerous, which movie is not full of all kinds of slang in the market?"

Zhang Zirong suddenly realized: "That's right, the young and Dangerous were originally low-level people in the special era of Hong Kong Island, so it's normal to speak vulgarly."

"Think about it again, among some Hollywood gangster movies, especially those involving lower-level gangsters, which one is not full of foul language?" Wang Yifan asked again.

In fact, many people in the previous life felt that "The Departed Walker" was nonsense, the whole film was full of foul language, and all kinds of words starting with f popped up every once in a while.

I think, this is not a movie, this special meow is completely swearing.

But the fact is that this is the real situation of the people at the bottom of the old American society.

The difference in social structure, social environment, laws and regulations, etc., has led to a world of difference between "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs".

"Infernal Affairs" may have a good professional reputation in North America, but it is absolutely difficult for most audiences to understand what follows.

And the same "Infernal Walker" was put in Huaguo, and it was difficult for everyone to accept the same.

Because the culture is different.

In their opinion, since they are gangsters, it is normal for them to swear.

But in China, because there is no such soil in China, even if there is, it is the young and Dangerous of Hong Kong Island in the early years.

But there is also a big difference between the two.

As a result, it is naturally difficult to break down cultural barriers.

"Then why did you agree with Ahri Media to take Cao Meng and the others to North America for publicity?" Zhang Zirong asked curiously.

"Why do I disagree? The potential of "Infernal Affairs" in China is actually almost the same. Without them running publicity, the impact will not be too great. Moreover, just because I know that "Infernal Affairs" will definitely be cold in North America." , So, how long can they stay? Are they going to come back!"

"Besides, whether Cao Meng, Chen Qingyun, or Chen Dahua, or Ahri Media or Times Lighting, or we Huaxin people, in fact, at this time, they all thought that "Infernal Affairs" was basically safe in North America. At this time, It's pointless to pour cold water on them, and it will make people think I'm petty."
