"When I say give up, I don't think about it and don't cater to the tastes of North American audiences. The issuance still has to be done, and there is no reason why someone spends money to buy the distribution rights and not sell it. It's just that I don't expect much box office in the North American market!" Seeing that Song Ge was shocked, Lu Lin had to explain two sentences.

Wang Changtian put down his gold-wire glasses and suggested, "Director Lu, in fact, I think I can be flexible." If you look at the works directed by Zhang Yimu, they are not bad at the box office abroad! Let's just say that the upcoming "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will be released, and Hollywood movie star Bell will be invited to join, this "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" is based on "Lich War", and you can also invite Hollywood movie stars to let them play the demon clan!"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the conference room laughed, and Wang Zhonglei said: "Foreign monsters, you dare to think about it!"

Han Shanping said: "This is a good idea, if you want me to say that you can actually invite Japanese and Korean movie stars!"

Wang Changtian said: "This is really okay, Jin Chengwu is very suitable!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Japan and South Korea say that the monsters with European and American faces look too discordant!"

Wang Changtian smiled: "It's all for the box office, for the market!"

Lu Lin thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "No, the demon clan with European and American faces is afraid that the domestic audience will not be able to accept it." The smiles faded when they heard this, and their faces became solemn.

Director Zhang Yimu's path, Lu Lin can't learn. Since Director Zhang transformed into making commercial films, the films he has made have been controversial, and they are basically low-reputation, high-box office types.

A very important point is that when Director Zhang's film was established and filmed, it was more often in consideration and catering to the movie-watching tastes of the North American market. Think about how you can win the Golden Globe and hit the Oscars.

Under such a creative concept and mentality, it is not surprising to shoot works that make Chinese people feel that they do not know what to do.

Because of the cultural differences between China and the United States, it is quite difficult to take care of the tastes of both China and the West in one movie. At least for our directors, there must be a trade-off.

Otherwise, like Director Zhang, he will lose the domestic fundamentals little by little. At the end of 16 years, "The Great Wall" had a huge investment of 150 million US dollars, and the mainland box office was less than 1.2 billion. It was an era when actors turned directors one after another and constantly broke domestic box office records!

Lu Lin's basic plate is domestic, and at this time, thinking about whether Lao Mei will like it is tantamount to digging his own grave. It is better to mix up the domestic market first and consolidate the box office appeal.

If one day the domestic audience hears that Lu Lin's new film is going to be released, the first thought is to buy the ticket first, then it will be called success!

Seeing that Lu Lin repeatedly despised the North American market, Han Shanping felt that this project was a bit risky. Even though "The Return of the Great Sage" is 2.3 billion, and "The Alliance of Gods" is also working hard for 2 billion, it does not mean that "Houyi Shooting the Sun", which has doubled its investment, can stabilize more than 2 billion, and I already have the idea of quitting when I think of it.

As for Wang Zhonglei, he also thinks the same, and even thinks that this Lu Lin is young and frivolous and too arrogant. The North American market can't be looked down upon, why can't you go to heaven!

Instead of taking money to participate in it, it is better to cooperate with Wanda and get the project of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" well. Thinking of this, he glanced at Ye Ning on the side, and found that the other party was also looking at him.

At this time, Jia Yanhai entered the door, his expression became more and more embarrassed, and he went straight to his place and sat down without speaking, but he had already expressed his attitude.

Seeing this, Song Ge said to Lu Lin: "You are continuing to talk about creative ideas!"

Lu Lin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's already noon, I'll come here first to watch the meeting, and then I'll talk about it after dinner!"

Wang Zhonglei immediately responded, got up and shook hands and said: "My company has a meeting in the afternoon, so I won't eat lunch first, let's get back and get in touch!"

followed by Ye Ning and Jia Yanhai, Han Shanping has invested in the "Heavenly God Alliance", so it is not good to leave immediately, but stay and have lunch together.

Wang Changtian started as a reporter, and he is quite bold in his ability to achieve today's achievements and to be resolute and resolute in his character. The investment of 60 million is glamorous, but what he values more is the cooperation with Lu Lin.

In today's Chinese film market, the prelude to small and medium-sized costs and big benefits has not yet begun, at least wait for the release of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" in November, and wait for next year's "Thai Embarrassment" to set sail, domestic filmmakers will be surprised to find that I rub, small-cost films can make so much money.

At this moment, the circle is still superstitious about the big director. Wu Baige is already cold, Zhang Yimu is the forbidden side of the new picture, Chen Kaige has several fiascos, Jiang Wen has too many private goods, and Feng Xiaogang is a little less skilled in blockbusters.

Counting over and over, the most successful and promising commercial film director in China is none other than Lu Lin! If you don't invest at this time, I'm afraid that you won't even have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!

Although Lu Lin clearly said that he would give up the North American market, the problem is that since the North American box office fiasco of "Golden Armor", Chinese films have no box office in North America. Even "The Return of the Great Sage" only has a box office of a few million dollars in North America, and it is only popular among some local Chinese. As for foreigners, there are very few people who see it.

Moreover, Wang Changtian believes that with Lu Lin's appeal and production level, even if he doesn't make a lot of money, it is always no problem to keep the capital. So he said enthusiastically: "Hey, Director Lu, in a few days the premiere of "Painted Wall", you have to come and cheer!"

Lu Lin laughed: "No problem!"

At noon, Lu Lin, Song Ge, Han Shanping, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Huang Minfang and others had a meal together in a nearby hotel, and left in the afternoon after eating, agreeing to discuss it tomorrow, which was considered to give everyone a time to think.

I didn't think that in the evening, Zhang Weiping's cannon battle suddenly spoke out to the media, saying that some domestic directors obviously don't have that strength, but they bluntly said that they would give up the North American market, which is really ridiculous. I've never had it, so why give it up?

Later, it was said that the list of the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film has been announced, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" represents the shortlist of Chinese films.

As a comeback work of Lao Mouzi after the "Olympics", because of the unprecedented improvement of "international status", the weight of rushing to the Olympics is also much heavier than before. In addition, the original novel is popular abroad, the theme of redemption is common all over the world, and the last Oscar "Best Supporting Actor" winner Bale joined, which greatly increased the success rate of the film.

This one finally didn't get dizzy, and said that "rushing to the Olympics" was a certainty. But the term "some directors" is obviously talking about Lu Lin! Moreover, what was said at the morning meeting was transmitted to Zhang Weiping in the afternoon, which guy has such a big mouth?

Song Ge called and advised Lu Lin not to respond. Now that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is about to be released, the old boy wants to rub your hot spot.

Yu Dong also called over and said bluntly: "Brother, don't talk back, if you have anything to say, I'll scold him with you!"
