After signing a film shooting contract with Hua Na with an investment of 15 million US dollars, Peng Yichen did not stay long in the Star Flag Country.

He entrusted the selection of film actors and behind-the-scenes staff on the Star Flag Country side to Professor Trison.

After all, this is a film wholly owned by Hua Na, although the filming location was placed in China by Peng Yichen.

However, the formation of the crew and the selection of some of the main actors must be completed in the Star Flag Country.

For this reason, Peng Yichen also left his assistant in the Star Flag Country, responsible for cooperating with Trisson here to complete the communication and coordination with Hua Na.

The day before leaving the Star Flag Country, Peng Yichen invited Trison and Robinov, the president of Hua Na Films, together and talked all night in the hotel house where he lived.

Although no one heard the conversation between them, Trisson and Robinov left the hotel with excited and thoughtful expressions on their faces.

can guess that Peng Yichen must have reached some kind of deeper tacit understanding with the two.

……

The next morning, when Peng Yichen returned to Kyoto, the time had already come to December 20.

It is only a little more than 4 months before "Life is Beautiful" goes to the Oscars.

According to Peng Yichen's plan, Hua Na invested in the film he shot as a test, and it must be released in North America in May.

In this way, we can take advantage of the opportunity of "Beautiful Life" to be the best foreign language film in the public relations of the Star Flag Country, so that the audience of the Star Flag Country, who are extremely unfamiliar with themselves, can learn more about themselves.

Make sure that after your movie is released in North America, it can have certain topics and publicity gimmicks.

Therefore, from the day he returned to Kyoto, he was immersed in the busy preparation of the film.

In addition to finding a suitable filming location for the film, it is also necessary to coordinate and prepare the accommodation, catering and other trivial matters for the crew and actors sent to Huaxia by Hua Na.

There are two main actors on the Chinese side of the movie, one is Peng Yichen himself, and the other he chose to invite Huang Bo.

In addition, when Peng Yichen finished "Journey to the West", he promised to give assistant director Zhao Zexin a script and let him serve as the director to make a movie.

Before Peng Yichen went to New Zealand to get married, he handed over the script to Sun Yizou and asked him to prepare for investment in filming

Now, the film has officially started filming, and the movie is called "Dark War".

Although he is very relieved of Zhao Zexin's directing ability, Peng Yichen, as the producer of this movie, often visits the crew.

For some places that Zhao Zexin is not sure about, Peng Yichen will give him some opinions based on the shooting experience of Du Qifeng in his previous life.

……

At the same time, although Peng Yichen and Yu Jing got married, Huaxia's entertainment media did not hear from him for 3 months.

However, "Journey to the West", the first Chinese film and television film and television to break through the billion mark, has not decreased in popularity in the Chinese film industry.

In addition, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's wedding is very mysterious, and until now, no media has even gotten any photos of the wedding scene, which has also created countless imagination space and topics for countless gossip media and gossip fans.

So much so, in today's Chinese film industry, whether it is a film company or a movie fan, everyone is most concerned about the "billion director" Peng Yichen, what is his next work?

Is it the science fiction movie he once said he was going to shoot when he gave a lecture at the film school?

For those film and television companies, although they did not expect to challenge his status as "one billion directors" and "the first commercial director in China", if they could know his filming plan in advance, they could also avoid business on the same schedule as him.

After all, even Cameron, Michael Bay, Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith and other Hollywood directors and big stars are in the Chinese film market, and they were beaten by Peng Yichen one after another.

Who would dare to stop him, the "billion director"?

Jiang Wen's movie "Let the Cannonballs Fly" has been confirmed to be released in the first half of 10 years.

Everyone has avoided this theme early, and they have avoided head-on competition with this movie, but Peng Yichen's speed of making films is generally very fast, and he is afraid that when he knows what the content of the movie he wants to make and the release schedule, it will be too late for these film companies to adjust their release plans......

Geniuses are always very annoying, such as this Peng Yichen, literary movies, commercial films, comedy movies, action movies, anti-war movies, club movies, love magic movies, etc., there seems to be no movie he can't make.

Under the expectations of film and television companies and fans, it is not Peng Yichen himself or Chen Jing Film Company that announces Peng Yichen's next film shooting plan.

On the official Weibo of Huaxia Weibo, Hua Na Pictures suddenly announced that Peng Yichen's next movie will be a suspense horror movie invested by Hua Na.

The film, which cost up to $20 million, will be released simultaneously in thirteen countries around the world after filming.

On Peng Yichen's personal Weibo, he also posted a Weibo:

"My new film will be released simultaneously in more than a dozen countries including North America and China in mid-May, and it is a story about death and human nature. I hope you enjoy it.

In addition, the Chinese New Year file Chenjing Film Company is about to release a wonderful police movie - "Dark War". This is the first police movie I wrote, directed by our company's contracted director Zhao Xinze, starring famous actors Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun, I hope you can support more. ”

After the two Weibo posts were issued, they immediately aroused the interest of major media and fans in China.

Peng Yichen: Is this considered to be entering Hollywood?

In fact, this result is predictable by the media and fans.

After all, Peng Yichen's achievements in the Chinese domestic film market have reached a peak, as a representative of Chinese films, if he still wants to improve, the next step must be to enter Hollywood.

However, to everyone's real surprise, Peng Yichen's shooting theme this time turned out to be a horror movie.

In the perception of Chinese movie fans, horror movies often mean small budget, no connotation, bloody violence, and rough shooting quality.

Among the domestic films in China, there is no film classification and censorship system, and horror films are often rarely willing to shoot because of the congenital genre restrictions.

Even if someone makes one, it is often a sheep's head to sell dog meat, and then the gimmick of horror movies makes some bad movies to fool horror movie lovers at the box office.

Now, Peng Yichen's first film to enter the international film market with Hollywood studios chose the unflattering genre of horror films?

"Billion Director" did not make commercial blockbusters, but instead made such an unpopular subject as horror movies, which surprised all fans and critics in China.

Under Peng Yichen's Weibo, many fans of the "Orange Army" left messages to discuss this matter, and everyone expressed various worries about whether Peng Yichen's first film to enter the international market would be successful.

"Alas, how could Director Peng choose such a theme, horror movies are generally R-rated movies, whether in North America or China, the box office performance is generally not very good. ”

This is a message from a fan who knows a lot about the film industry.

"Hehe, the theme of each of Peng Yichen's movies is almost different. People like him must hate repeating themselves. When you choose a horror movie, you must want to push your limits. I just hope that he won't mess up and throw people into the world. ”

This is a fan who sneered at Peng Yichen.

"Peng Yichen is a little floating, he is already invincible in the Huaxia Film Market. This is to challenge the North American film market, and to do something different. ”

"You know, a lot of big Hollywood directors started out making horror movies. Spielberg's "Deep Sea Shark", Kubrick's "Deep Mountain Hotel", etc., are all classic horror movies. Moreover, there are many loyal fans of horror movies and cult movies in North America, and Director Peng's choice to shoot this genre may not be a smart entry point. If you shoot well, you can successfully enter the North American film market and gain a firm foothold in Hollywood; if you shoot badly, you can also shirk the subject matter that you are not good at. ”

"No matter how you say it, Hollywood is also the apex of the world's film industry. Among the Chinese filmmakers, only Li An, Wu Yusen, Fang Long, Li Lianjie and others have gained a firm foothold there. The only mainland film in the mainland is "Qin Shi Huang" directed by Chen Guozhong, which has won more than 10 million US dollars at the box office in North America. I think Peng Yichen will go to Hollywood for development this time, and the prospects are not optimistic. ”

……

Most netizens and fans are not optimistic about Peng Yichen, who can rely on a horror movie to break into Hollywood.

And the major media in China were also caught off guard by the news that Peng Yichen and Hua Na suddenly announced their cooperation.

Although he has been slapped in the face countless times by the miracle created by Peng Yichen.

But this time, they still expressed deep suspicions about Peng Yichen's making a horror movie, just like entering the North American film market.

If it weren't for Peng Yichen's previous record being too 'prominent', these media would almost have to "scold" directly.

It's not that they have the problem of being beaten in the face, the key is that readers like to watch them and Peng Yichen fight each other.

So, the next day, whether it is a traditional newspaper, magazine, TV station, or a major portal network, Weibo, and video website on the Internet.

is full of articles and comments questioning Peng Yichen's shooting of horror movies.

In Ai Qiyi's best self-made show "Movie Bo Bo Bang" this year, the host Xu Weisheng has always been a loyal fan of Peng Yichen.

But in a special show, he also said that he was not optimistic about Peng Yichen's desire to use a horror movie to break into Hollywood.

He thinks Peng Yichen is too aggressive this time.

"After hundreds of years of development, Hollywood's position in the global film industry is unquestionable. Only filmmakers who can succeed in Hollywood can truly gain recognition and respect in the international film market.

Now it is not surprising that Peng Yichen, as the first person in Chinese commercial films, wants to enter Hollywood and achieve greater achievements in the highest palace of film in the world.

But is it really that easy to gain a foothold in Hollywood?

You must know that the audience of the Star Flag Country has a natural sense of superiority, and they have always had a very deep prejudice against movies and actors from other countries.

In their hearts, only Hollywood movies are the best movies in the world, and the films of other countries are backward and boring representatives.

In the past 50 years, the only Chinese who can become successful in Hollywood are Bruce Lee, Li An, and Fang Long.

In addition to the kung fu movies shot by Bruce Lee and Fang Long, only the films shot by Li An can be successful at the box office in Hollywood.

But Li An's films are often pure Hollywood movies, no matter how many Chinese cultural elements he adds to his films, but in fact he still strictly abides by the Hollywood film shooting method and shoots one Hollywood movie after another in order to succeed in the North American film market.

Peng Yichen wants to rely on a horror movie to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and this difficulty is almost hellish......

I think that this time, Director Peng seems to have a high self-esteem.

And his first 'show' in Hollywood is likely to end in failure. ”

As soon as this episode was released, it received more than 5 million on-demand views on the same day.

In the whole of China, it seems that everyone has no hope for the result of Peng Yichen's 'expedition' to Hollywood.
