"This~ Mr. Ma, with all due respect, how do you know that there will be Chinese elements in my movies? What if it's hard science fiction that burns money? Such as the Wandering Planet and the like? This kind of movie has little cultural difference, why don't I make this kind of movie?"

shook his head silently, although he agreed with Boss Ma's words in his heart, but he still didn't know what type he wanted to shoot, and he could add anything with Chinese elements, so it was just a matter of how much.

Mr. Ma seemed to be smiling, patted Ye Mingxuan's shoulder, and did not answer.

Wu Jing smiled bitterly and explained: "Science fiction film production cycle~"

Ye Mingxuan slapped his head and forgot about this stubble, the production of special effects for science fiction movies is very slow, if the science fiction movie is confirmed, it will definitely not be available next year. It's not impossible to postpone it for another year, but without works, it's not easy to explain to the leader, and the leader's impression is also very important.

"By the way, Brother Jing, since you have said this, what is the situation in the overseas film market?"

Ye Mingxuan didn't understand this aspect at all, good domestic movies are not necessarily recognized by people, and domestic street fighting may also succeed abroad, they all say that content is king, to be precise, and channels are king.

"The foreign film market ~ channels are all held in the eight major companies, they are not friendly to Chinese films, do you know what the average transaction price of Chinese films is in recent years?"

Wu Jing's face is ugly, why have domestic films rarely hit the international market in recent years? More joint venture films? Say it is a joint venture, but everyone knows what the situation is, foreign capital chooses Chinese actors or Chinese assistant directors for the sake of the domestic market, or domestic film companies in order to increase their value, high salaries to find Hollywood actors to star, and ultimately the domestic market consumption.

"In the past ten years, the transaction price of the full copyright of the film has been less than 100,000 US dollars, which is far lower than the transaction price of the film copyright of the director in the 90s and 00s, and so low that it is prohibitive for domestic film companies!"

"So miserable?"

Ye Mingxuan was secretly frightened, this was much worse than he expected, and he thought that no matter how bad it was, it would be no problem to buy eighteen million, so it seemed like a fool's dream!

"Isn't that exaggerated? Aren't there many Chinese-language movies that have been released abroad?"

Zhang Zifeng was lying behind Ye Mingxuan, holding a watermelon, feeding it without a mouthful, compared to Ye Mingxuan, she knew a little more.

"Why not? No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and if they are sold, they can do a wave of publicity, and so-and-so movie will be released simultaneously around the world, what a good publicity gimmick?"

Although he scoffed, he had to admit that almost no one gave up this part of his income, the reason is very simple, the domestic cinema chain almost took sixty percent, the investor share, taxes, deduction costs, and very few really entered the pockets of filmmakers.

"That~ almost blocked Chinese movies?

Ye Mingxuan frowned, the watermelon fed to his mouth didn't feel sweet, although he thought that it would be more difficult to enter the international market, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and he didn't give him a way to live.

"There is still another way, there is an official introduction every year, this convenient number of places is limited, you definitely don't have a chance, don't look at people will come, that's because your fire hero may be promoted at the national level, as a fire-themed propaganda film, which is equivalent to national procurement, otherwise you think you can get state support with just one movie? I may not be able to get an exchange place, and the big guy who hasn't arrived yet is about the same!"

Thinking of today's film trends, I sigh, on the one hand, I want the discourse market, and on the other hand, I reject Chinese films, why are there many stars who have entered Hollywood, but there are very few films that are really recognized by the Western market?

"Master Xing?"

Ye Mingxuan nodded thoughtfully, no way, Xing Ye's influence in Hollywood is not small, it is normal to have a quota, what does he have?

"You have a lot of point, but I think there's one thing you're wrong. ”

Boss Ma has a bracelet that he often wears on his body, and when he is happy or worried, he will take it out and plate it, and now he is obviously in a good mood.

"In the cultural and entertainment industry, music is more widely disseminated than movies, and Xiaoye's status in the foreign music circle is not low. ”

"You mean musical movies?"

Ye Mingxuan was stunned, touching his chin and thinking, musical movies are indeed the best choice for him now, musical movies have many benefits, small investment, short shooting cycle, plot and music complement each other, one of them is successful, and the box office of its film will not be bad, so what about the domestic music film market? Hardly, I don't believe it, think about it, out of the concert and the like, how many music movies have you watched? I'm afraid I haven't seen any of them!

"No, no, no, I'm just talking about influence, not for you to make music movies, in business, music movies are not a good choice, several music movies, singing and dancing youth, pianists at sea, burst drummers, the evaluation is not low, the box office, that's it, of course, making money is earned, but we have to spend a lot of effort, don't be too niche. ”

Ye Mingxuan frowned, it's difficult to do, the best box office with a wide range of spread is science fiction and magic movies, but the production cycle of this kind of movie is big!

"How about animated films?"

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zhang Zifeng said tentatively, last year's dubbed Snowman seems to have good global box office results. Of course, this is only her own understanding, and she doesn't know how.

"Animated films?"

"Huh?"

The eyes of the three lit up in vain, and then dimmed, the most successful animated movie is Kung Fu Panda, which is not a domestic film, directed by Hollywood directors and supported by the state, if it were not for various factors, this film would not be good.

"Animated movies are actually pretty good!"

Boss Ma was slightly disappointed, there are not many things that can be implanted in animated movies, and it is not very helpful.

Ye Mingxuan didn't speak, but was thinking, the production cost of animated films is not too high, it is a good choice, Journey to the West is more famous in the world in terms of theme, and it should be good to use Monkey King as the theme!

"Mr. Ma, Brother Jing, how is Monkey King?"

"Monkey King?"

The two stared at Ye Mingxuan suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.

"What if I made an animated film based on Monkey King?"

Boss Ma doesn't want animated movies in his heart, but for a novice like Ye Mingxuan, it is a good theme.

"Teacher Ma, Brother Jing, it's time to eat!"

Peng Peng held on to the door and said to Ye Mingxuan: "Brother, wait, Teacher Huang said to let the guests eat first!"

Saying that, he walked out and pulled Ye Mingxuan towards the river.
