Chapter 1218
Because of the limited years of development of Chinese films, coupled with the popularity of Hollywood movies in recent years, overseas directors are naturally more compelled than domestic directors.
Many people have reduced their heads and want to run Hollywood to develop, but it is too difficult for Chinese directors to rise in Hollywood, which is dominated by whites.
Many domestic netizens have been criticizing the miasma of China's entertainment industry all day long, admiring foreign Hollywood, how transparent, fair and so on, but in fact?
Yes, there are indeed many dark sides in the entertainment industry, but compared to the stick country, compared to the island country, and compared to Hollywood, to be honest, the entertainment industry in China is definitely a clear stream.
Just like gambling, many gamblers only see others winning, but never pay attention to how much money the other party has lost, because the money won can be seen, and the money lost is not lost by themselves anyway, so there is no feeling at all.
In fact, in Hollywood, people no longer talk about unspoken rules, but clear rules.
There are several circles in Hollywood, one is the mainstream film circle, dominated by several major film and television giants, and the other is the solo film circle, which is the breeding ground of chaos, darkness, and dirt.
Under the banner of art, there are countless people who cheat people and money.
And is Hollywood really fair?
Because their market is more mature and already very stable, therefore, various classes have also been formed, and for the giants, between potential newcomers and already successful, experienced old people, they will definitely choose experienced old guys.
What?Directors Guild Screenwriters Guild Actors Guild?
Yes, these organizations can guarantee some rights and interests, but it is not something that can be entered if you want to, you must have experience, you must have money, yes, you need to register a pro who needs money.
For big people, that amount of money is of course nothing, but for ordinary people, it is not a small amount.
Another one, actors, in Hollywood, it is even more difficult, looking at the stars in Hollywood now, more than half of them are related households! Yes, you read that right, they are related households.
The second generation of stars, the second generation of guides are countless.
Otherwise, the family has a small net worth, the entertainment industry is not a football circle, and there are really not many people in the entertainment industry who are blockbusters.
A little negative energy, not that you will be rewarded if you pay, it depends on luck.
"Speed of Life and Death", "The Hangover" and "Air Prison" have been sold in North America for three consecutive movies, and the sensation caused is not a little bit or two.
In fact, Yang Hao and Qin Gang's mood at this moment was not so good.
Why? It's so tangled.
The answer is very simple, of course they know that most of the reasons for such results this time are because it was Lin Xiao's script.
Yes, just the script says a lot.
Is there a lack of screenwriters in China? China lacks nothing but talents, but these screenwriters, even if they are well-known screenwriters in China, their film scripts and stories are all oriented to China, not globalization.
Therefore, Qin Gang and Yang Hao are very entangled, this kind of touted, this feeling of Yang Wei being overseas, is really cool, but they are not from Ling Xiao Pavilion, and, taking a step back, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to provide them with scripts all the time.
So, they were very sad, a movie, aside from the old club, it's nothing, no, it's nothing, Qin Gang was hacked before, it's hard to say who is behind it.
It's not black, but it's black after all.
As for letting them directly hug their thighs to make a film for Ling Xiaoge like Fan Wencheng, it is very difficult for them to do it, because they are not only directors, but also shareholders of their respective old clubs, especially Qin Gang, whose shares are not low.
That's billions worth of shares.
Some people may say, script, what a big deal, why not find a gold medal screenwriter in Hollywood?
But in fact, Hollywood scripts, if they are given them to shoot, they may not really shoot them.
At this time, they were a little envious of Fan Wencheng, hugging his thighs, yes, before, they all disdained Fan Wencheng, thinking that he was a little faceless and skinless, he was a big director, and he was still like this, but in fact?
Fan Wencheng made a lot of money, fame and fortune, and the key is that Fan Wencheng himself didn't have too many constraints, so what happened to him hugging his thighs? Didn't they disdain it before? But now, it's different to hug his thighs?
"Prison in the Air" is obvious, it has a larger investment than "The Hangover" and "Speed of Life and Death", and the cast is bigger, this is not the point, the point is that Fan Wencheng dared to fly around the world directly to shoot the scene, and invited actors from all over the world to participate, clearly to praise him.
This is understandable, people always have far and near, compared to Qin Gang and Yang Haolai, Fan Wencheng must be more valued, after all, family members and guests are two different things.
This is also why Qin Gang and Yang Hao are entangled.
Of course, they want to continue to go to North America to earn dollars and earn fame as international directors, but how easy is it to say?
Didn't they try? Certainly not.
......
In the end, "The Hangover" got more than 160 million box office in North America, while "Prison in the Air" and "The Hangover" are not much different.
The final box office of "Speed of Life and Death" still failed to exceed 100 million, and Yang Hao was depressed for this.
Over 100 million and not over 100 million can be said to be completely two levels.
However, the box office of "The Hangover" is a little surprising, the box office of "The Hangover" in the previous week can be said to be more than 200 million, but later, "The Hangover" has also caused protests from many feminist organizations in North America, and the difference between China is that even if the Chinese side is dissatisfied, most of the time it is to talk and scold in the media, but North America is different, all kinds of associations and organizations, they will find trouble if they are unhappy, the dog meat incident earlier, and now "The Hangover" is on the opposite side of the majority of feminists, so the box office has been greatly affected.
However, Qin Gang is also satisfied, please call me International Gang in the future!
Which of these directors in China doesn't want to show their faces abroad? But the reality is very skinny, and the market in each country is different.
Many movies on the Huaguo side are usually sold out directly, rather than distributed in shares.
Don't look at it, it seems that the box office share of Hollywood movies in China has increased a lot, and the highest can even be on par with domestic movies.
Many people still think it's low, but in fact? Yes, the share of theaters in North America is indeed relatively high, but many people think that the producer can get these shares?
That's too much to take for granted, the division of North American theaters is a ladder type, usually on average, it can reach 50% to 60%.
Take the box office of 100 million US dollars as an example, if the theater chain distributes 60% to the distributor, it is 60 million US dollars, and then, the distributor must first deduct the publicity and distribution costs, which is almost at least one-third, and even 50% or more.
And then the remaining 40 million, it's yours? Think too much, and the money will be distributed to the issuer.
The last is for you, by the way, and tax deductions!
In other words, with a box office of 100 million in North America, domestic producers can often get 10 million ~ 20 million US dollars, which is already very, very good.
