Chapter 197: A Sense of Crisis
On a private estate, on a large lawn.
The bigwigs in the entertainment industry in the United States are holding red wine and talking to each other.
It is worth mentioning that the people who can come here are at least superstar-level people, among them, it is not uncommon for people at the level of world kings, which can be described as star-studded.
In the crowd, Cameron is chatting with Dwayne Johnson, a member of the $100 million club, because Cameron is going to shoot a more violent action movie, and the actor he likes is Dwayne Johnson.
"Cameron, you're here too!" At that moment, a voice broke the balance here.
"Is that you, Stephen?" Cameron, looking at the person who spoke, showed a hint of surprise.
"Aren't you making movies in Egypt? "Why are you here?" asked Cameron.
"Hehe, how could I not have come for such a big thing?" said Steven Spielberg with a laugh.
"Johnson, let's do it for now, let's continue to talk later!" Cameron looked at Johnson and said.
"Yes!" Johnson was very happy and left directly.
Cameron and Spielberg then came to a table.
"What do you think about today's topic?" Spielberg asked, seated.
As one of Hollywood's top 10 directors, they know some things that ordinary people don't know.
"And what do you think?" asked Cameron without answering.
"Actually, I don't think we're going to make a big fuss about it!" replied Spielberg.
"Actually, I think that if we do this, people from the outside world will think that we in Hollywood are afraid of Chen Yongren! Hehe, let outsiders think that all directors in a country are afraid of one person, and I feel shameless when I say it, and it is the most developed country in the world today, doesn't this seem that we are not confident?" Cameron said.
Spielberg nodded approvingly.
"What about the vote later, against or abstention?" Spielberg asked.
"Abstain!" Cameron replied after a moment's thought.
"Well, that's it!" Spielberg said in a deep voice.
Subsequently, the two of them didn't have anything to talk about, they all drank their heads, as one of the top ten directors in Hollywood, they naturally had their own arrogance, and asked them to admit to another director, I'm not as good as you, it's harder than killing them.
But the silence didn't last long, and soon everyone was gathered.
"Everyone, everyone!" said an elderly man in a suit and leather shoes with snow-white hair standing in front of the podium and speaking into the microphone.
Seeing this man, everyone present knew that the big guy who initiated this party was here.
It is worth mentioning that the identity of this man is not simple, he is the president of the Directors Association of the United States, Robert!
Speaking of Robert, he is also a legend in the United States, he has influenced two generations of the United States, the leader of the pre-Cameron era!
Even Cameron must be respectful when facing Robert.
Because, even if he is as arrogant as Cameron, he admires Robert very much.
"Ladies and gentlemen. This time, I convened this gathering for two main purposes, the first is to discuss how we should face the aggressive Chinese movies in recent years!
The second is how to solve the problem of training our local directors. Robert said in a deep voice.
Although Robert said so, in fact, no one present is a fool, and they all know what the Chinese movies here refer to!
Except for Chen Yongren, they couldn't think of anyone coming!
However, everyone is tacitly aware of this.
"Everyone should know. Since Longteng Media Group has developed 3D technology to maturity, the entire film industry has fallen into the 3D era, and because of 3D technology, Longteng Media Group has achieved its glory!
Last year's "Gravity" was not only the annual box office champion in the world, but also the box office champion in our country last year!"
And the box office of "The Martian", which has not yet been released, has now reached a global box office of $3.86 billion.
And our country alone provided a full $1.4 billion! What a terrifying figure, you know, our total domestic box office last year was just over $10 billion. ”
"In other words, 'The Martian' alone directly occupies more than 10% of our domestic box office share!" Robert continued.
Listening to Robert's words, everyone present fell silent!
To some extent, this is Chen Yongren's brilliance, but it is also their shame!
Isn't it a shame that one person can occupy more than 10% of the box office in the world's second-largest film market with one movie?
The film market has been surpassed by Huaxia, and they have nothing to say, after all, there are many people in Huaxia and the market potential is great, and this is also a good thing for them, they can make more money.
However, more than one-tenth of the market share of the local film market was taken away by a Chinese director with a movie, which made the previously high-ranking Chinese filmmakers suffer.
"And after a crazy July, this month Hua Xia Ren started the crazy mode again, just one week, "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the box office of more than 450 million US dollars in the United States, and another phenomenal movie was born!"
"In the first week of its release, the cumulative global box office reached more than a billion dollars, so I have no reason to doubt that the bottom line of "The Shawshank Redemption" is less than two billion!" Robert said.
Robert glanced at everyone, and then said, "It is undeniable that Chen Yongren's movies are very classic and very good-looking, even I can't make them." But, it's a shame for all of us, what's wrong with this world?
In the past, our Hollywood was the world's most well-known film production factory, and our films sold well all over the world, and the film markets all over the world were basically occupied by our Hollywood films!
But now, our glory is slowly leaving us. And some of us are still living in the glory of the past, and that's a disappointment!" Robert exclaimed.
Hearing this, many people lowered their proud heads.
What Robert said is not wrong, because these are facts, and I don't know what's wrong in recent years, there is a freak like Chen Yongren in Huaxia, who doesn't reason with you at all, and he is just going to be cannon fodder.
"Now, let's talk about the first topic first! In the face of the rise of Chinese films in recent years, in the face of the increasingly rampant Chinese films!" Robert also knew that it was too much, so he quickly shifted the topic to today's topic.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to submit the Rice Native Film Protection Act to Congress, but I am a small person, so I need your support!" Robert began.
"The Law on the Protection of Local Films in the United States?" many people showed surprised looks.
Of course, these people are basically some first-line superstars, and the real bigwigs are all aware of this issue, this protection law.
"The "United States Local Film Protection Law" mainly has the following two aspects, one of which is that our United States shall not introduce more than 30 films to foreign countries every year!
Second, the release time of all foreign films in our country must not exceed one natural month, that is, thirty days!" Robert explained the protection law.
"What??? so-called protection law turned out to be this?" Sure enough, hearing Robert's words, many people below changed their faces!
The reason is very simple, this protection law is simply a shame among the shame for the arrogant Mi people, this Robert is afraid that his brain is not in water, right? How could he come up with such a strange proposal!
Because in this world, only other countries are so targeted at them!
Many big box offices in the world have limited the number and time of Hollywood movies released in their own countries, which once made the people of the United States very proud, because this is the embodiment of their strength!
"You see, these countries are really laughing at us like this for their own fragile and vulnerable local films, haha!"
But now, asking them to do the same, isn't this a slap in the face? It's like laughing at others one second, and then raising their hands in surrender the next second.
"Alright!" Robert patted the table, motioning for everyone to be quiet.
"I know it's a little hard for everyone to accept, but it's for our country, for our Hollywood!" Robert said loudly.
At this point, the crowd stopped talking, because they knew that what Robert said was true.
Because at present, in addition to Chen Yongren, a dead pervert, more and more Chinese directors have also achieved success in the United States!
Among them, especially the directors and new star director projects of Longteng Media Group.
Let's just say that a while ago, the director of Chen Yongren's new star director project, the movie "Hacker" directed by Chen Jing also swept away nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office in the United States!
More and more young Chinese directors have achieved success in the United States, which is a very crisis for Robert, because these directors are very young, and they are all old, and the directors of the younger generation in Hollywood can't count them on one hand.
When these young directors in Huaxia have grown up and are full-fledged, then no one will be able to stop Huaxia films!
In the face of a Chen Yongren, he can't resist it, if there are a bunch of 'Chen Yongren', there will be no more Hollywood movies in the world............ Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
