Celebration banquets are indispensable!

Fan Wencheng can also be said to be proud, because what he didn't expect was that "Dangerous Couple" got very good results in China, but he didn't expect that abroad, it actually got a good box office.

This made Fan Wencheng even more admired Lin Xiao, his own family knows his own affairs, "Dangerous Couple" may indeed have his share of credit, but more importantly, the script story creativity is very in line with the taste of the current market.

Although "Dangerous Couple" did not become a big hit in North America, the box office of nearly $20 million in the first weekend was enough to make Fan Wencheng angry.

You must know that even Yang Hao and they have not been able to achieve this kind of achievement, but he Fan Wencheng has done it with "Dangerous Couple".

Don't say anything about admiring foreign countries, the domestic film industry developed more than half a century later than Hollywood, and domestic directors like Fan Wencheng are already very good directors in China, but in foreign countries, they are not satisfactory.

This is also why the Chinese people tout those Hollywood movies and Hollywood directors so much, because the gap does exist.

And the domestic director, so far, is only one Lin Xiao's movie, which can kill all sides, and can be called a real international director.

Like Fan Wencheng and Yang Hao, although they are well-known in China, their movies rarely sell abroad.

On the one hand, it is because of cultural differences, and on the other hand, there are also problems in publicity, that is, the problem of resources.

Those foreign distribution companies, most of the time, basically take the buyout method of buying out the films on the Chinese side, and those that can often sell for millions of dollars are already considered sky-high.

In fact, they rarely spend a lot of effort to publicize and distribute, after all, publicity and distribution requires capital costs, so most domestic films are usually treated abroad at most in some theaters within the Chinese community.

And then directly into the disc market.

Fan Wencheng's "Dangerous Couple" grossed $20 million in the first weekend of North America, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has released a satellite.

Although the final box office is difficult to exceed 100 million, even the box office of 50 million US dollars is enough for Fan Wencheng's status to improve a lot.

After all, that's a beautiful knife!

Lin Xiao is not very surprised by this, because "Dangerous Couple" was originally a Westernized work from another world, so it is not so surprising that it can have such results in North America.

But for others, this is not the case.

Especially Fan Wencheng, he thought about it, and it is impossible to say how superb his directing skills he showed in "Dangerous Couple".

But why is this movie so popular on both sides?

The answer, of course, lies in the script.

The domestic box office of "Dangerous Couple", although it cannot be said to be very good, is enough to be regarded as a big hit.

What really makes Fan Wencheng think is the foreign box office, and when it comes to directors of Fan Wencheng's level, they are actually not too short of money, such as "Dangerous Couple" Fan Wencheng's salary plus investment, at least nearly 200 million.

But what really made Fan Wencheng admire Lin Xiao more and more was the same director, because the scripts were different, and the resulting films were so far apart.

In fact, from this period of time, it can be seen that although Fan Wencheng did not lack films and investment in the past, on the whole, there are still relatively large restrictions, and in terms of investment, it is usually not so simple.

But since "Dangerous Couple" has grossed tens of millions of dollars at the box office in North America, everything has changed.

So, of course, Fan Wencheng hopes to continue to maintain this momentum.

And he is self-aware, in terms of familiarity with the domestic market, he thinks he is not bad, but when he goes abroad, his eyes are black.

His previous best foreign results were only worth millions of dollars at the box office.

So, what's the problem? I think it's a script!

"Director Fan, congratulations, congratulations!" At the celebration banquet, Lin Xiao of course also had to come forward to cheer.

After all, "Dangerous Couple" is not only the script provided by Lin Xiao, but also half of the investment is also from Ling Xiao Pavilion, plus the publicity and distribution are all done by Ling Xiao Pavilion, so Ling Xiao Pavilion also makes a lot of profits.

And although there are currently three troikas in Ling Xiao Pavilion, a director of Fan Wencheng's level is also urgently needed by Ling Xiao Pavilion at present.

Even a few more collaborations would be good.

In fact, there is no shortage of good actors in China, but directors, directors who can make good films, are the most lacking.

Fan Wencheng doesn't seem to be the top director, but in fact, in the field of commercial films, Fan Wencheng is definitely the number one person.

The key is that Fan Wencheng is not the kind of director who likes to carry private goods in movies, such as this time "Dangerous Couple", Fan Wencheng restored the script to a large extent.

If you are a different director, you may really get something different, for example, let the hero and heroine finally kill each other or something.

Of course, some people in the outside world also questioned that the success of "Dangerous Couple" cannot be regarded as Fan Wencheng's credit at all, but the credit of the script, but Fan Wencheng doesn't care about it at all.

If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour, but even if that's the case, so what?

Should his salary go up or should he have to go up, and Lin Xiao's script, how can it be so easy to get?

So far, Lin Xiao has basically not sold any scripts, and most of the time, he has made them for his own use and for the directors under the name of his company.

"Rejoice and rejoice!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"Director Fan, what's next?" Lin Xiao asked tentatively.

"I just can't be idle, but I don't have a good script yet, so I can only wait. Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"Director Fan, why don't we work together again?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course, why do you have new ideas?" Fan Wencheng asked with joy in his heart.

"Yes, but unlike "Dangerous Couple", this time, if you want to shoot the effect of the script, it may cost four or five hundred million. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Fan Wencheng was on the contrary.

Although "Dangerous Couple" can be regarded as a big production, there is a difference between a big production and a big production.

There are not many big scenes in "Dangerous Couple", at most weapons such as rocket artillery, so the cost is actually not too high.

"This time, we may need to use props such as airplanes and armed helicopters, as well as a large number of modern weapons...... Lin Xiao thought about it and said.

Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "If it had been a few years earlier, it might have really stumped me, but now it is different, now the state vigorously supports the film and television industry, as long as the script is okay, these are not problems." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, yes, don't look at it in the past few years, it seems that everyone is complaining that the big scissors are too powerful, but in fact, the domestic support for the film and television industry has spared no effort.
