Chapter 32: Shooting (Part 1)
"No, there are no film companies to bring in..."
Zhang Junsheng sighed: "... Yes, India doesn't even have a decent Chinatown..."
India, probably one of the most anti-Chinese countries in the world...
In fact, there are different degrees of Chinese exclusion all over the world!
But it's really rare to see something as intense as Indonesia and India!
It is normal that no country wants to have big and powerful countries around it, because as long as your neighbor has a little strength, it will inevitably pose a potential threat.
Isn't there a saying? It is said that the dead Maozi is the good Maozi, but the Maozi that is divided into more than 200 countries is the real Maozi.
What is the safest national defense posture of a big country and a strong country?
It's that the surrounding countries are all small countries.
What if there are no small countries around?
Then help to divide those small countries into many small countries and weaken them...
Indonesia and India both want to rise, but with China in their way, they can't have the right to speak!
The nations of the earth still follow the law of the forest...
"My opinion is to abandon the Indian market..."
Don told a story about a friend who had invested in a property in India – a normal way of thinking, India is growing fast and house prices are rising.
Then the property rights of the house were taken away by a local agent, and it was useless to go to court!
People have to follow Commonwealth laws, and there are very strict judicial procedures for collecting evidence or something, and they are cheating people from top to bottom...
At the end, Tang Ningyu added: "Indians lack moral restraint, and once there is a dispute that is difficult to sue for the law, do you still want to build a movie theater in the local area? Hurry up and come back after filming, what do you think? You actually want to develop in India?"
"But..."
Forget it, Indian movies have been popular in China for half a year...
It's really not easy to think about Xiaomi, Huawei, and vivo...
……
The advantage of Indian commercial films is that the industrialization is high, the audience has a high tolerance for the length of the film, and they are all large feature films, with traditional narratives and complete telling.
Second, cultural self-confidence and emotional saturation know how to impress passers-by and audiences, whether it is a pompous bridge, or dancing, singing lyricism, etc., the confidence and sincerity that are completed from the performance to the picture can also infect the audience.
Third, the audience gives face, it is difficult for basic foreign language films to get in, and the local market can also be exported.
The disadvantage is that Bollywood's film expression style and aesthetics are seriously homogeneous, superstar-centric, and there are fewer genre films, which lowers the ceiling. "Baahubali" is South Indian, but the advantages and disadvantages are basically the same.
Of course, there are masters of art films in India, but they and the blockbusters produced by Bollywood that we see are almost similar to Wong Kar-wai's literary films and Hong Kong genre films, which can be regarded as going their own way.
India has the impression that there is no independent film greenhouse, and there are many languages, and those who can get ahead rely on their own talent or rely on English for export.
It's normal for them to break into Hollywood, it's all English...
Frankly speaking, the screenwriters of Indian films are good at the way of traditional drama, and like to set up a large number of dense dramatic conflicts and coincidences, and this is basically the shortcoming of my country's screenwriters.
Compare Chinese movies!
At any time, there is a group of domestic filmmakers who do not believe in evil and have the belief that we must do our own things well.
Chinese stories, the aura is so strong that it can be gasified The so-called Western classics are many, many of them, but for one reason or another, they have been sealed in the dust of old memories, and they are far from being known to the world.
Our domestic audience has obviously been immersed in the established mode of thinking for too long, and their attitude towards domestic movies is always contempt, picking bones in the egg. They don't think about the background of the times, they don't think about the macro ideology, the censorship, and the nasty embryo of the capital chasing the market, they just need a big scene, cool turnover, ** beautiful girl, fresh meat, grab popcorn, fuck!
They won't watch the film against the market at all, and they have to imagine the reason behind the fact that the film itself can be released is not easy, and it is even more a fool's dream, talking about the piano to the cow!
After watching a "Wrestling, Dad", I felt that Indian movies crushed Chinese movies!
What else to say about IMDb ratings...
Did you know that IMDb has a special section for Indian films?
"Let's Wrestle, Dad", "Mystery Superstar", "Pad Man", "Starting Line", "Toilet Hero", "Little Lori's Uncle Monkey God", if you watch them all, then you will find that the so-called Indian movies are: social problems + Indian humor + sensationalism, and there are not many skills in the narrative.
Most of the Indian films that can be introduced into the Chinese market are like this: contradictions exposed, lonely heroes, difficulties, public support, media reports, official concessions...
If you see too much, you will feel the taste of industrial assembly lines...
It's like if you watched a "Horror Live" and thought that Korean movies were good dicks, and when you watched "Horror Live", "Tunnel", "The Insider", "Asura", and "The King" all over again, then you felt that they were all a routine?
……
Ajaye Deugan, his masterpiece 163 minutes of "Manslaughter"...
Indian films have one thing in common, the movies are particularly long!
Even "Let's Wrestle, Dad" has 140 minutes, and this is still a Chinese cut, the original version is 161 minutes...
Fortunately, Adjaye Deugan speaks English and is able to communicate normally, although many words need to be guessed...
There are five plays in India.
The first was a conversation between Cheng Yong and Boss Grenin.
At this stage, Cheng Yong was just an ordinary person, and under the pressure of life, he accepted Lu Yingying's suggestion to go to India to buy medicine.
"Five hundred, didn't you mean two thousand?"
"That's the retail price at the pharmacy..."
“… Then you tell him I'm going to buy some!"
"They only ship to agents! Retail, you can go to the pharmacy and buy it!"
“… Do they have a Chinese agent?"
"No, you are the first Chinese to come here!"
"Then I can be a Chinese agent!"
"Their medicine is banned in China, even if you are given the right to act as an agent, you can't sell it!"
"He doesn't have to worry about that, he just gives me the medicine and I can sell it. ”
"How much do you want?"
Wang Bo was a little embarrassed: "A hundred bottles..."
"Haha..."
After listening to the translator's words, Ajaye Deugan smiled directly.
A hundred bottles of your ink for half a day?
"I know he's too little, and I only have enough money to buy these, but next time, I'm sure it's not this amount!"
"Really? Why should I believe you?"
"There are many patients in China who can't afford to take genuine medicines, waiting for me to bring them back to save their lives!"
"Oh, you want to be a savior?"
"Hehe, I'm not a savior, I want to make money, you tell him that this medicine will have a big market in China, because there are many people waiting for this medicine to save their lives, and life is money!"
Through the monitor, you can see the seriousness on Wang Bo's face and the disdain when he says, 'I don't want to be a savior'...
"Okay, transition, Brother Bo, do you want to come over and have a look?"
