465 [Overseas Premiere]
In the next few days, the selection of trainees continued.
Luo Yuan sent the script of "District 9" to Jing Yu, you must know that Jing Yu is a handsome among young directors in the domestic entertainment industry, otherwise it is impossible for the actor to regard it as a key training object, such an excellent talent, it is not a problem to study with his own crew, so he handed over the "Ninth District" that he originally planned to shoot to take over, it should not be a big problem, anyway, Jing Yu himself patted his chest and guaranteed that he could shoot it well.
Jing Yu loves this story from the bottom of his heart.
The reason why a director makes a scene is best because he likes it, otherwise the mechanized camera will make the movie lose its spirituality, anyway, Luo Yuan has always thought so, so Jing Yu's liking for "District 9" made Luo Yuan satisfied, but this satisfaction quickly turned into huge pressure.
Pressure from money!
You must know that just one "Jurassic Park" has already stretched Luo Yuan, not to mention adding a "Ninth District" now, it will really make matters worse, especially after Luo Yuan saw the budget of "Ninth District" as high as 250 million-
Hang as high as Haman!
In order to shoot a work that surpasses the original version, Luo Yuan has improved many unsatisfactory aspects of "District 9", including special effects and other elements, and these improvements have made "District 9", which can be completed with an investment of more than 100 million, become a big production with an investment of more than 200 million.
What can I do?
You can't postpone it, can you?
Luo Yuan had no choice but to ask Gu Lang to take a loan from the bank, you must know that Crimson's finances have always been very healthy, and the long-term cooperative bank still trusts Scarlet's ability to repay debts, so after Gu Lang came forward to negotiate with the bank, he quickly got a sum of money.
But the problem remains.
This time, the problem came from Crimson's animation department, after "Kung Fu Panda", Crimson Animation Department has been waiting for Luo Yuan's new plan, but since the last meeting, Luo Yuan seems to have forgotten about the animation department, and never mentioned the new work, which made Ai Xiaoai very anxious, and finally asked Luo Yuan after getting off work at night: "Have you decided on the new project of our animation department?"
"The script is being written. ”
Luo Yuan had a headache.
Ai Xiaoai heard the depression in Luo Yuan's voice, and said with concern: "Is it that the script creation is not going well, if this is the case, then we are not in a hurry here, everyone has been studying technology to improve themselves recently." ”
"It's not a script-based problem. ”
Luo Yuan said: "It's the company's funds are a little tight, "Jurassic Park" and "District 9" two projects started at the same time, once it is put into filming, the money required is extremely terrifying, if we start a new project of animated film now, it will be a huge investment." ”
Ai Xiaoai finally understood the reason.
Some people say that it is because Luo Yuan, the owner of the company, is not good at running the company, so that Scarlet seems to be making money, but he has been financially unstable......
Those who say such things are scolded like a sieve.
Not to mention whether Luo Yuan has the ability to lead a company, Crimson alone has become the top player in the entire industry from a little-known small workshop in the industry today, and the Big Mac that the seven major needs to be feared is enough for Luo Yuan to fully prove that Crimson will have a financial crisis, and it can only be said that Crimson's every move is very risky.
"Shall we take a break?"
"It's fine, don't worry too much. ”
Luo Yuandao: "'Kung Fu Panda' is about to be released overseas, and if the overseas box office of this film can make enough money, then we can immediately start a new project in the animation department." ”
"Overseas box office?"
Ai Xiaoai was stunned, she didn't expect Luo Yuan to still have thoughts about the overseas box office of "Kung Fu Panda", you must know that pandas are small animals in China, and there are many oriental cultural things in this animated movie, which overseas audiences can accept?
Or, like "Initial D".
Not making money in the West, but being able to get some box office in island countries and the like?
Luo Yuan did not explain, and at this time, the company that bought the distribution rights of "Kung Fu Panda" in the West has already started to promote this peculiar Chinese animated film, because Luo Yuan is not well-known in the West, so when the West promotes this movie, the focus of the bombardment lies in the particularity of this animated film, as well as its accumulated box office of 1.8 billion in China, and as a result, this matter has also caused some foreign fans to discuss.
"There are also oriental movies introduced?"
"This time it doesn't seem to be the same, it's about a panda, oh, I watched the promo, it seems to be okay, should I go to the cinema when I think about the release. ”
"I don't like foreign movies. ”
"Oriental movies feel weird, and it's still cartoons. ”
"I seem to have heard of the director Luo Yuan, who is a very famous young director in China, and I remember that he made the imported "Initial D", but unfortunately that movie is very ordinary, and I feel that the only wonderful oriental movie is the original "Star Wars", which is too shocking, but we should be able to make movies of this level in China now......"
"This Luo Yuan, one of the seven outstanding men in Huaxia?"
"It seems to be such a statement, but to be honest, I still feel that we Western film directors are more powerful, especially the development of domestic films in recent years, which makes me feel that the future film achievements of the West will far surpass that of the East. ”
“......”
It is probably because in recent years, there have been more Chinese films introduced to the West for release, but on the whole, there is very little money, so Western audiences mostly have a critical attitude towards the movies imported from the East, and even some senior fans are always interested in Oriental movies when facing them.
And this point is a bit of a force in China.
So when there are domestic media reports that "Kung Fu Panda" will be released abroad, although some netizens are curious about the box office of this animated film in the West, most people still don't have much hope for the performance of this movie in the West.
"The cultures of the East and the West are different. ”
"Do they know what a panda is?"
"I guess the box office is the extent to which it can return to its original cost. ”
In some forums, there are many such arguments, and no one has changed their views until "Kung Fu Panda" has its official premiere in overseas countries, but what domestic netizens don't know is that not long after "Kung Fu Panda" completed its overseas premiere......
Many movie-related forums in the West have completely exploded!
