The Director of Music Department

Different cultures determine different perceptions.

The final rooftop showdown of "Infernal Affairs".

It is being staged at the Hua Guo Theater in Los Angeles in North America.

But this paragraph is regarded as a classic duel by Chinese people.

Here in North America, Cao Meng and others were disappointed to find that there was a lot of noise at the scene.

"baffling!"

"What a strange thought!"

"Good man? What kind of good man is he?"

"It's strange, why is Liu so stupid?"

Yes, this paragraph is regarded as a classic rooftop duel by Chinese people.

Many ordinary viewers and movie fans who are old and beautiful are a little confused.

They don't quite understand what this passage is trying to convey.

No, it should be said that they understood the meaning, but they were puzzled.

Of course, film critics, media people, and a small number of movie fans were still fascinated by it.

But after all, it is only a small part.

However, Chen Yongren was shot in the head in the follow-up of "Infernal Affairs", which caused a lot of exclamations in the theater.

But on the whole, Cao Meng and others are not as excited as before.

Some are just worried.

For a movie that can sell well, what will the performance of the audience be like?

Obviously not the way it is now.

Because when "Infernal Affairs" was screened in China, almost everyone on the scene was extremely invested.

But here, it is obvious that those movie fans are not very invested in the plot of the movie.

Some of them will go to the toilet, some will chat, and some will complain.

That's definitely not the case with a true classic.

The situation is not good.

The people at Ari Media also became a little worried.

The grand premiere is over.

Although there was still applause at the scene, no matter whether it was Cao Meng, Chen Qingyun, or Chen Dahua, or the people from Ari Media and Ari Film and Television Distribution Company, they couldn't laugh.

Sometimes, the reaction of the audience at the premiere does not represent the true level of the movie, but it can also represent something.

"Congratulations, "Infernal Affairs" is a good movie!"

"Congratulations, this is a very good work!"

"Congratulations......"

Although it was congratulated and praised by all the old and beautiful people.

But Cao Meng and the others could only forcefully smile.

Because the praise of these people cannot be said to be worthless, but it is not what they want.

They would rather be scolded by these people, as long as the fans praise and give real warm applause, that's what they want most!

Because the box office has never been controlled by film critics or the media, but contributed by ordinary movie fans.

But apparently, the response from fans at the premiere wasn't overwhelming.

This made them seem to have a haze over their heads.

Waiting is suffering for Cao Meng and the others.

Of course, it was mainly because of the appearance of all beings at the premiere that Cao Meng lost his previous confidence.

For Cao Meng, this time can be said to be his best chance.

In fact, it is not to blame for Cao Meng's expansion, mainly because the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" in China was too high before.

It is also known as the most classic Hong Kong Island gangster film.

Then, the favor of several Hollywood companies for this movie, others may think it is a hype, but Cao Meng has repeatedly confirmed that it is true.

Therefore, it was natural for him to have an inflated mentality.

Not to mention Cao Meng, domestic movie fans also felt that "Infernal Affairs" had a good trip to North America.

After all, the news Ahri gave was so good that there was no bad news at all.

"Sure enough, I'm still inflated." Cao Meng laughed at himself.

Chen Dahua shook his head and comforted him, "Director Cao doesn't have to be so pessimistic, does he?"

Chen Qingyun also smiled and said: "Even if it can't be a big hit, I think it should be able to make some box office? After all, there are indeed some audiences who really like this movie."

Cao Meng smiled wryly and said: "No, your thinking is too simple. How much resources did Ari invest in the movie "Infernal Affairs"? And most of our domestic audiences think that this movie, if nothing else, You should be able to do well here.”

"But what about the result? We all misestimated the cultural differences and underestimated the barriers brought about by cultural differences." Cao Meng shook his head and said.

"But it's always true that those Hollywood companies wanted to buy the script?" Chen Dahua asked.

"It's true, but, so what? I was also dazzled before. The Hollywood film company took a fancy to "Infernal Affairs" and wanted to adapt it into the American version of "Infernal Affairs", which actually explained the problem in itself. "Cao Meng is not a new director after all, he is an old director himself.

It's just that he was blinded by the feedback of those colorful flowers before, which caused him to start to swell.

Looking forward to becoming famous in one fell swoop and becoming an international famous director.

But now, think about it carefully.

The fact that Hollywood companies want the rights to adapt "Infernal Affairs" speaks for itself.

"If they are really optimistic about "Infernal Affairs", then do they still need to adapt it? It shows that what they are interested in is only the mode and plot of the film "Infernal Affairs", not the movie itself."

"They probably discovered a long time ago that this movie is a movie with pure Huaguo characteristics, and it is not suitable for North America at all, but the structure and setting of the movie itself are very suitable for their appetite, so they will be interested in this movie. Interested in the right to adapt the film." Cao Meng explained.

"As expected of Wang Yifan, I guess he expected it long ago. Thanks to me, I was complacent. Before, I complained about his reluctance to come to North America for publicity, but I don't know that in the eyes of others, I am just a clown." Cao Meng said with a wry smile.

"Isn't it?" Both Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun were a little surprised by Cao Meng's words.

"That's not enough? In fact, if you think about it carefully, Wang Yifan already knows his attitude towards this movie. He should have known a long time ago that this movie is not suitable for North America."

"Otherwise, why would he propose to Ahri Media that it should be screened in China first, and then released in North America a week later? We just thought that he wanted to give North America's word-of-mouth box office the greatest potential of "Infernal Affairs" A little exciting, but now that I think about it, people have already expected it.”

"The reason for making such a request is to minimize the impact of the film's failure in North America on China! Because at this time, the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" in China is no longer something North America can influence." Cao Meng said.

Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun looked at each other.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really frightening.

If Wang Yifan knew that "Infernal Affairs" would be difficult to make a difference in North America, then it would be really scary.

And think about some things that everyone ignored before, such as why Wang Yifan agreed to release "Infernal Affairs" to Ahri?

After all, Huaxin and Ari are their biggest competitors. If Ari's globalization strategy succeeds, it will be Huaxin who will be most affected.
