Although he knows that everything Bicks said is the truth, Peng Yichen still firmly believes that really good movie works are the trump card of the world.

As long as Chinese films are made well enough, they can also succeed in the international film market.

Therefore, in the face of the blow of Bix, the president of Time Warper, he still confidently stated his opinion.

"I have two sets of data here, and I ask President Bix to keep it in mind.

First, China has maintained a GDP growth rate of more than 8% for nearly 30 years, and may surpass the Star Flag Country to become the world's largest economy in the next three years. This provides Huaxia with at least 500 million middle-class people, who are the largest consumers of films.

Second, the total box office of Chinese films has maintained a growth rate of about 30% for ten years. According to the population of the Chinese middle class, the scale of the Chinese film market in the future should be 2.5-3 times that of the Star Banner Country.

Therefore, Chinese domestic films do not need to be passed around the world, as long as they are successful in the Chinese film market, they have already succeeded.

I think that under the nourishment of the Chinese film market, the shooting quality and special effects technology development of Chinese domestic films will definitely be able to catch up with Hollywood movies, or even surpass Hollywood movies.

That's the real reality. Huaxia is the core key to the future development of the global film industry. ”

Bix had never seen such a stubborn young man, he looked at Peng Yichen and asked, "You are so confident, this rapid growth of the Chinese film market will be maintained." Or are you too confident in your own films, thinking that audiences in North America and around the world can accept a science fiction movie that takes place in China?"

Peng Yichen shook his head and said seriously: "Hollywood movies have never considered whether the story taking place in their own country will make people in other countries resist.

So, I don't need to think about that either.

I just want to make a really good movie. A good movie is the only way to gain audience recognition.

If the audience doesn't approve of it, it only proves that your movie is not good enough and doesn't touch the common emotions or humanity of all human beings.

I don't see anything to do with the location or the country where the story takes place. ”

"You're saying a good thing, but you're also naïve. This should not be what you say. I thought you would know the complexity of the world. Especially in the Star Flag Country, this is a place where interests are intricate, and the power of capital is the best weapon. A good movie, without the help of capital, may not be able to get ahead. ”

Bix's performance once again stunned those who knew him well.

The communication between him and Peng Yichen seemed to be carried out on an equal footing.

It's like Bix's treating the boss and director of a small film company in Huaxia as a big man with the same status as himself.

But only Peng Yichen could hear the meaning of Bix's words.

The film center of this world is the Star Flag Country, even if it may be China in the future, but it is still the Star Flag Country today.

So if Peng Yichen wants to enter the international film market, he must be recognized by Hollywood.

And Hollywood is now the world of capital, and Wall Street is the real controller of Hollywood.

This is the deep meaning of Bix's words.

Of course, Peng Yichen knows that capital has a great influence on movies.

But he also knows that movies are still art after all, and movies have their own laws.

If you have money, you can make a successful movie.

Hollywood's seven major studios may have all disappeared long ago.

But the reality is that since the beginning of the Hollywood Golden Age, Wall Street has been trying to control the film industry.

But every time they enter the film industry in a big way, the result is a failure.

Because, they always think that the so-called market research and commercial hype can make a successful movie.

But under their leadership, most of the so-called blockbusters that were shot that did not respect the laws of cinema at all lost their fortunes in the end.

Movies are inseparable from capital, but capital can never control movies.

That's the real reality.

Peng Yichen knows that he and Bix's understanding of movies is completely different.

And as far as he knows, the reason why Robinoff, the hero of the great success of Hua Na Pictures, was finally excluded from Hua Na by Bix is also because the two have too different views on the movie.

Robinoff's understanding of movies is very similar to Peng Yichen's, both believing that film shooting and production must be handed over to those who understand film.

And Bickers is clearly more convinced of the power of business capital.

But since Robinov left Hua Na, Hua Na's movies have become more and more grandiose, but the reputation has plummeted.

gradually lost the throne of Hollywood's No. 1 film company.

was beaten by the Marvel superhero movies led by Desini.

It seems that it is not without reason.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen was unwilling to entangle with Bix any longer.

After all, Hua Na is just a springboard for him to enter the North American film market.

He didn't want to work with them forever.

Wait until he gets what he wants from this company and recruits the people he wants. He'll pull away immediately.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen's face turned into a formulaic smile: "President Bix, I think the discussion about 'what kind of movie can be successful' is not something that can be concluded in a short time. And that's not what we're talking about today. The story that happened in China, whether it can be successful in the North American or even international market, it is useless to rely on words. Data and market reactions are what successful investors believe in the most. ”

Bix stared at Peng Yichen's face for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Peng, I feel that you really don't look like a director, but more like a producer." You're right, for me, it's the data and the market reaction that's the key.

Well, for your sake. This time, Hua Na will invest $15 million, not $5 million, for you to use to shoot your small-budget movie. Of them, 10 million is your shooting budget, and 5 million is used as publicity expenses.

I watched it, the background of this movie is in China, but the scenes of the Chinese people and the Xingqi people in it are very even.

If the film is released in North America, it will perform better than I expected at the box office. Then you will be fully supported in the filming of that sci-fi movie.

But if the film does poorly at the box office in North America, you can still make that sci-fi movie, but you can only play the role of producer in the movie. The candidates for the director and the starring role are all decided by us.

Do you dare to say yes?"

Peng Yichen looked at Bix, who had a slight provocation on his face, smiled faintly, and said confidently: "Why don't you dare to agree to the 'bet' that you will definitely be able to win." Then we'll talk about it. When the time comes, don't go back!"

Bix seemed to be a little tired, lay down on the back of the sofa slightly, and smiled, "I'll wait and see." Now, we're going to keep auditioning. You can take your own people and sign a contract with Jeff (Jeff Robinoff, president of Hua Na Films) for this movie that I invested 15 million in. I hope you're not just a bombastic person. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and was unwilling to say a word again, so that Robinov took Peng Yichen and his party and left this palatial living room.
