Chapter 350: It's not okay to be old if you don't accept it
In the next two days, Aamir Khan, as a landlord, took Ding Cheng around Mumbai.
It is observed that the gap between the rich and the poor in this country is huge, the poor cannot even wear shoes, and the rich have thousands of waists.
For myself, this is called exotic. In the past, whether you were in Korea or an island country, as long as you were proficient in the language, you didn't feel much of a difference.
And here......
Even if you can speak Hindi,
It also feels out of place.
After two days of contact, it is clear that this cooperation is full of confidence for Aamir Khan and the investors behind it.
It's no wonder that "Wrestling Dad" won 1.3 billion box office in China, and now it is the highest-rated foreign language film on the Douban movie list.
18 years is the blowout year for India's imported films, with a total of ten domestic films, second only to Hollywood in terms of share. Last year's "Mystery Superstar" had another 750 million box office, which is equivalent to ten times the domestic box office in India.
In the past, the impression of Bollywood movies was very rough, with many absurd plots, dancing without saying a word, and hanging without speculation, with a single and stylized style.
There was once a joke circulating on the Internet: Chinese film news bulletin, Vietnamese movie airplane cannon, Korean movie crying and laughing, Indian movie singing and dancing.
However, in recent years, Bollywood has relied on high-quality films to go abroad more and more frequently, setting off a strong Indian wind around the world.
Finally in the legendary Bollywood, which may not represent all Indian films, but with a large audience and the highest ratings, it is not an exaggeration to compare it to an Indian name.
"In fact, our country has more than 1,000 movies every year, and it is truly the first in the world!"
Taking Ding Cheng to visit, Aamir Khan made no secret of his pride and introduced: "We have very distinctive cultural characteristics, and 333 has become the customization of almost all movies. ”
Seeing that Ding Cheng was confused, he said with a smile: "The so-called three-three-three is 3 hours, 3 songs and 3 dances, in India, if the movie is too short, the audience will feel that it is not worth it." ”
Ding Cheng laughed, this is the legendary amount of fullness?
Looking at the lively set, everyone is working hard, and I have to say that Ding Cheng admires it very much.
Last year, Bollywood's global turnover was $3 billion, although it is only a fraction of Hollywood's 65 billion, but compared with the pattern of Hollywood's film industry sweeping the world, it is not easy to survive in the cracks.
From the premiere of the first Indian film "Never Say Goodbye" in 06 in the United States, Bollywood has dug up its own roots in the international market, and foreign films are in the American film market, and Indian films are undoubtedly the first.
Needless to say, "Slumdog Millionaire" was undoubtedly the brightest star at the 81st Academy Awards, with eight awards to showcase the charm of Indian cinema.
Coming to Aamir Khan's studio, looking at all kinds of honors on the wall, and seeing with his own eyes all kinds of special effects post-production, although still quite backward, but full of vitality.
"Our industrial chain mainly includes product production, distribution, sales, and redevelopment, and the core competitiveness is the ...... of the film itself."
"I hope to put more production money on the storyline, and attract global attention through remakes, co-productions, overseas studies, and learning from Western models......"
"At present, there are 100 film studios, 13,000 movie theaters, more than 500 film magazines and more than 300,000 film practitioners in the country, and nearly 1,500 films are produced every year. ”
Ding Cheng looked at various honorary trophies, Mi Shu deserves to be a national treasure actor, known as the almighty king. Starring, screenwriter, soundtrack, singing, directing, producing, can do anything, and has led Indian films to the Oscars many times.
In my own opinion, grounding is the key to the rise of Bollywood. The originally boring love song and dance film has been replaced by the sharp opposition between the poor and the rich, and has been replaced by topics with global resonance such as tradition and modernity, gender inequality, and religious contradictions, and the content has a better sense of heaviness and depth.
Of course, Indians also play a lot of kittens, and I heard the little girl say that this country is known as a water army for all the people, and the scale is no worse than that of China.
"Stars on Earth", "Three Fools Make a Mess in Bollywood", "Let's Wrestle! Dad" and many god films have ridiculously high scores on Douban, a phenomenon that began with a large number of Indian audiences scoring crazy scores on IMDB, the base camp of Internet movie ratings.
The enthusiastic A3 found that IMDB, the most globally influential online window, has become a huge audience that has become IMDB's devastating water army in recent years because the Internet movie rating follows the simple rule of one ID and one vote.
What's more, local films firmly occupy the main share of the cinema chain, coupled with low movie ticket prices, making watching movies a daily habitual consumption.
India is the second largest country of immigrants after China, and Bollywood has loyal audiences all over the world, contributing more than half of the box office every year.
"Let's go, take you to the gym!"
Aamir Khan happily took Ding Cheng to the huge and luxurious private gym, took off his coat, revealed his strong but very round muscles, and said to Ding Cheng: "Come and try?"
Ding Cheng smiled slightly, didn't he come all the way to pretend to be forced?
Take off your coat slowly, and the audience will be shocked in an instant!
Seeing such perfect muscles, even Uncle Mi gave a thumbs up, so awesome!
"Come on!"
"Ten more!"
"Hold on!"
After some tossing, Uncle Mi looked at Ding Cheng, who was calm and relaxed, originally a competition between the two, but turned out to be guided by Xiao Young!
No way
Old!
Ding Cheng looked at Uncle Mi who was panting like a cow, after all, he was almost sixty years old, and he could maintain his current amount of exercise, at least two hours of fitness every day, which was admirable.
Recalling the post-production process I just visited, the relatively mature technology, low labor cost and popular English language have become the post-production outsourcing base for North America, especially Hollywood films.
More outsourcing services can be provided, including editing, production, music, and a small number of low-end special effects, at a cost of only 25% of the United States and 16% of the United Kingdom.
"When I first arrived on Hong Kong Island after filming "Indian Thug", I saw the book "The Legend of Deer and Ding", started reading it, and was surprised to find that the protagonist in it was very similar to the character I had just filmed!"
"It's all between the two hostile sides, you don't know whether Wei Xiaobao is a friend of the emperor or a friend of the rebels. At the same time, he is also a very funny person......"
"So I've always felt that there are a lot of similarities between Indian and Chinese cultures, our values are very similar, the points that trigger emotions are very similar, and the Chinese and Indian people are both emotionally rich people......"
"There are a lot of world-class talents in your country's film industry, and we also have very good filmmakers in India, so I am very much looking forward to this cooperation, especially when acting with you......"
"I've watched "Wolf Warrior 2", but I like "Fanghua" more, and I like the story told by "Fanghua", especially the way the director tells the story and the characters in the film, as well as the visual effects and cinematography of the film......"
While resting and chatting, Ding Cheng asked curiously, "Which action actor do you like the most?"
"Cheng Long!" Uncle Mi said without hesitation: "His movements are very humorous, there are no borders at all, and everyone can understand it." ”
