Chapter 964: Into Hollywood

Mack Films' business encompasses the entire U.S. film industry, not only for film distribution, but also for film investment. Micheal Rose is an accomplished producer, having led his company in the production and distribution of a large number of classic films for nearly 30 years, and the films he has produced or participated in the distribution have been nominated for more than 200 Oscars in various awards, won more than 50 statuettes, and countless other film awards, large and small, although he may not be a direct winner, these accolades are enough to prove his strength.

In recent years, Micheal has gradually shifted his focus to film distribution, and as he gets older, his style of acting has become more conservative, spending a little money to introduce foreign niche films, which is relatively risky, and if there is a surprise, he can also make a lot of money, such as the Korean movies that sold well last year.

But this does not mean that Micheal does not invest in making movies at all, the only movie he still insists on investing in is a series, called "Future Heroes", you can know by looking at the name, this movie is Americans' favorite personal cheatingism plus superhero theme, the plot is bloody and heroic, several main characters are hot-blooded teenagers and girls, high-spirited, very heroic, and then put in the future, the universe, In the context of science fiction, coupled with a compact plot, atmospheric and heroic scenes, and realistic special effects, it is no wonder that fans don't buy it.

"Future Heroes" has been filmed four times so far, and all of them have been box office hits, the most high-grossing of which is the first one, with a global box office of up to $2.4 billion, although the box office of the next three films is not as good as the first one, and the box office is decreasing year by year, but even the fourth part of the most scolded, when it was released the year before last, it also had a global box office of nearly $1.2 billion, such a huge benefit makes Mike Films insist on updating one every other year.

They are about to start filming "Future Heroes 5" in the second half of the year, which is also the last part of the series, and it is the finale, according to the normal time plan, the fifth part was supposed to be released this year, but the unsatisfactory box office of the fourth part made Mike Film and Television stagnate this business, and it dragged on for two years, and it can't be delayed any longer, even if the audience doesn't like it, they would rather have a bad end than no ending.

Micheal's purpose in meeting He Lushen was to communicate with Liu Yan through him - he wanted to give Liu Yan a role in it.

Liu Yan felt that she might have heard it wrong, and asked He Lushen in disbelief, "I... Participating in "Heroes of the Future"?"

The "Future Heroes" series is also very popular in China, and every time it is released, it can firmly occupy the top three positions at the domestic box office that year, Liu Yan's former owner likes this movie very much, and went to the cinema to watch all four of them, Liu Yan's memory is most impressive, several protagonists in it are all Hollywood superstars, each of them has a huge fan base from all over the world, even if they star in the movie alone, they don't worry about the box office, not to mention the powerful combination of the giant, the "giant" here is a real giant, than Cai Henian's " Cangyun Sword is much stronger

"It's true, there is an Asian female character in the script of "Future Heroes 5", and he wants you to play this role," He Lushen initially thought Micheal was joking, but Micheal said that it was a deliberate decision he made with several shareholders and investors.

As the heir to an entertainment company, He Lushen knows better than anyone the current state of the domestic and Hollywood film industry, and it is difficult for Chinese actors to participate in Hollywood movies.

Hollywood's earliest movies with yellow faces all let the yellow people play negative roles or low-status and humble roles, which is the mainstream image of the yellow people in Hollywood movies, with irony and race, racial discrimination, and later kung fu stars, with hard fighting and physical resistance for Chinese actors to break through, but this way of working hard has not changed the status of Chinese in Hollywood.

Rao is so, and many Chinese film actors are still tirelessly pursuing their grand goal of entering Hollywood. Nowadays, Chinese faces and Chinese elements can often be seen in some Hollywood movies, is it because the status of Chinese films has improved?

No, people just want to make Chinese money, American film practitioners find that China's huge market, huge population base, is a blue ocean full of gold, they want to be gold diggers.

So I found one or two well-known Chinese actors to make cameos in the movie, as a publicity stunt in China, and the Chinese audience quite ate this set. Many people go to the cinema for this reason, only to find that the shots and lines of the Chinese actors are pitiful, and the versions released abroad even directly cut all the shots of the Chinese actors. In other words, the content seen by foreign audiences and domestic audiences is different for the same movie. Hollywood is happy to occupy the Chinese market in this way and make money for the Chinese. This fact is cruel and sad.

He Lushen thought that Micheal also invited Liu Yan to play for this purpose, Liu Yan has an immeasurable fan base and influence among Chinese young people, with her, "Future Heroes 5" is likely to win a huge box office in China, and Micheal can use this to reverse the disadvantage of this series being worse than the other, and reap a happy ending.

As for the so-called Asian female character in the film, there is no trace of the eight characters yet, He Lushen doesn't know the content of the script, he guesses that it is the same routine as other Hollywood movies, give Liu Yan a few shots, one or two lines, and play tricks, after all, Liu Yan is not even a professional actor, her biggest title is Internet celebrity, the mainstream American film industry also does not accept Internet celebrities, there are so many American Internet celebrities on YouTube and ins, who is eligible to participate in Hollywood movies?

Therefore, knowing Micheal's possible calculations, He Lushen still thinks that this is a good thing for Liu Yan, at least she can touch the door of Hollywood, and a trick is also the dream of countless actresses in China.

He Lushen told Liu Yan these facts and the current situation, the good side and the bad side, Liu Yan has the right to know, and he doesn't want to pit her anymore, he has no direct interest in this matter, whether Liu Yan plays or not, it will not affect Micheal's previous decision on "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace".

"You've got to think about it, it's a really rare opportunity," he joked, "and maybe you'll be able to make it to Hollywood." ”

The amount of information is too much, Liu Yan's mind is a little confused, come to the United States, the future and business opportunities are suddenly rushing to her, she has no time to digest, the first thing she wonders in her heart is whether she has time to make a movie again, or come to the United States to make a movie! If it is filmed in the second half of the year, she should have time, she will be a senior in the second half of the year, she has no classes, she can be busy with her career, and she will start preparing her graduation thesis at the beginning of next year.

But if the situation is really as Lu Shen said, Hollywood movies treat domestic audiences differently, and she feels a little uncomfortable.
