Xu Qian has regained the attention of the West, which also makes Warner can't wait to find Xu Qian's cooperation.

Xu Qian's person is simply a gold mine, his filming of "The Departed" made a lot of money for Warner, of course, now this series has collapsed by Warner, which is very embarrassing.

And now an unknown "King of Comedy" can also open up the Western market, which makes others have to recognize Xu Qian's value.

Ma Long said: "Director Xu, you should also come back to the rivers and lakes and make a super movie." ”

Xu Qian said: "I'll think about this." ”

Ma Long said: "Give me an answer after thinking about it." ”

Xu Qian nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Warner is already very sincere, Xu Qian is also a little moved, and Xu Qian is indeed at a level of heaven and earth in the domestic market.

As the saying goes, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses, Xu Qian has already stood at a turning point of extreme prosperity and decline.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Qian, why some people are prosperous and declining, why they go from the peak to the trough, is because they are old, their fighting spirit is no longer there, Jiang Lang is exhausted, out of touch with the times, or addicted to fame and fortune, in short, because of the total factors, their creative ability has declined, and then they have fallen from the peak to the trough.

But this kind of situation does not exist for Xu Gan at all, Xu Qian has mastered the essence of a world, will others be able to do their best?

Obviously, these other factors have no effect on him, Xu Qian is a hanger, a super super big hanger.

The reason why Xu Qian has been developing in his own country and has been committed to making Chinese films is because he knows that his roots are here, and this is his home base.

No matter how smooth the development of the West is, what can it bring to Chinese films?

Ang Lee in the other world is certainly awesome, but Xu Qian prefers Zhang Yimou.

What's the use of forcing it high?

Now that Western values are sweeping the world, are Chinese values really all dross?

Of course not, we are one of the greatest civilizations in the world, and we can even remove it.

China has never been a mediocre country.

In the more than 6,000 years of human civilization, many great nations have emerged, including (but not limited to) Egypt, the Hittites, Assyria, Athens, Sparta, Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Byzantium, Arabia, Khorezm, the Mongol Empire, the Ottomans, Timur, the Mughals, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, the British Empire, and, of course, the United States today.

Most of the countries listed above were once the strongest or joint-strongest countries in the world, but they tore through the night sky like meteors and quickly returned to dust.

In a short period of more than ten years or as many as three centuries, they are not only no longer the strongest in the world, but they are swept away and slaughtered by others.

Except for China!

In China's 5,000-year history (the Liangzhu civilization has been internationally recognized in December 2017), it cannot always be the strongest country in the world, however, it is the only country that has been ousted from the position of "the world's first power" and then sat on it again!

The Chinese established the first superpower in the history of human civilization - the Han Empire, in the 3rd century AD, the Han Empire was in civil strife and finally collapsed, and China was surpassed by the Roman Empire.

In the 7th century, the Great Sui Empire and its successor, the Tang Empire, once again became the most developed and powerful country in the world...... Finally it became Italy that built prisoner of war camps and locked itself up.

In the 10th century, the Tang Dynasty, the greatest (nonetheless) feudal empire in human history, collapsed, and China was once again plunged into the smoke of war.

In just a few decades, the Great Song Dynasty rose from the ruins of war, and the Arab Empire, which was once equal to the Tang Dynasty, has long since disappeared...... Its successors fought for water and oil thousands of years later.

The good times did not last long, in the 12th century AD, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and the process was too sudden, like sudden death.

In the 13th century, the Great Yuan was established, and China's greatness lies in the fact that it never belonged to a certain nation, and it was able to turn its former enemies into its own relatives, and once again, China climbed to the top of the world. The Byzantine Empire, on the other hand, would soon be reduced to powder under the iron heel of the Ottomans.

The Ming Dynasty defeated the Great Yuan, went to the West seven times, conquered Mongolia five times, and overwhelmed Timur once again to shock the Quartet.

Then there is a hundred years of humiliation, we should be bitten by a dog, we dare to change the sun and the moon under the leadership of the great man, we quickly recovered, and now we are standing again in the forest of the world's nations, such a country is not awesome, such a nation is not awesome? Such values are not awesome?

When it comes to Xu Qian's status today, what fame and fortune to pursue is already secondary, because you do something Fame and fortune will come naturally, and what should be yours can't run away, not your thing, and it's hard to catch it if you want to.

Xu Qian is now known as the symbol of the Chinese entertainment industry, the Taishan Beidou in the film industry, and the optimus pillar in the director industry, the outside world has put too much hope on him, hoping that he can change his life against the sky, hoping that he can change the pattern of the entire industry, and hoping that he can promote the development of Chinese films by himself.

He carries the hopes of too many people.

However, Xu Qian is not afraid, people are willing to believe in him and affirm him, this is a very good thing, when a person's ability breaks through the boundary, he will naturally assume such a responsibility.

Wasn't that the greatest librarian of all time decades ago, leading the staggering Chinese to stand tall, unleashing a flood of people, sweeping through enemies, and shocking the world, and was one of the greatest people of all time.

Xu Qian wants to learn from his experience, which is that you can't fight alone, you must know how to unite, you must know how to mobilize the strength of the masses, and if you want to promote the development of the entire industry with your own strength, it is very, very, very, very difficult for Chinese films to catch up with Hollywood.

Xu Qian, even if he was forced to do so, could not change his life against the sky.

Xu Qian felt that he should develop talents for the entire industry and do what he could for this industry.

Therefore, for Ma Long's request, Xu Qian agreed.

He now thinks about what films to make.

This film should have Western values and Chinese values in common.

This film also needs to have a mass base, and it is true that you can win awards by making some obscure movies, but the dissemination is not large, and cultural promotion still needs to rely on commercial films.

For example, a "Love of the Big Boat" really hit the world with Hollywood movies, this movie is really God blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

In North America, it is unbeatable, in Italy, which is known as the birthplace of art, Europe is also invincible, in Southeast Asia, which is known as the backyard of Hong Kong films, it is also vertical and horizontal, and Hong Kong, which is known as the Hollywood of the East, is also dominant, and it is a massacre in China at that time.

Such films are a powerful tool for cultural export.

"Comedy. ”

Xu Qian first determined the type of film he wanted to shoot.

Comedy is very popular all over the world, and although people in each country have different laughs and cultures, the sense of humor is something that is deeply hidden in everyone's heart.

In another world, comedy movies like "Three Fools in Bollywood", "Two Big Smoking Guns", "Strange Heroes in Disguise" and so on are all famous in the world.

"Three Fools in Bollywood" is an Indian movie, "Two Smoking Guns" is Guy Ritchie's work, which was later borrowed by Ning Hao and made into a Chinese comedy film "Crazy Stone", "Strange Heroes in Disguise" is a classic Hollywood movie, and Xing Ye's "Changing Stars" is a reference to this movie.

The fact that comedy movies from different countries can all be very popular shows that comedy movies can eliminate cultural barriers to a certain extent.

Xu Qian intends to choose a comedy film that is acceptable to both China and the West.

Xing Ye's nonsensical comedy is a classic, but foreigners don't seem to eat this set, in fact, Xu Qian wants to shoot Xing Ye's "Kung Fu".

That can be said to be the pinnacle of Xing Ye's movie, this is the best movie directed by Xing Ye independently in Xu Qian's opinion, Xing Ye's independent directing started with "Kung Fu Football", and then "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Journey to the West", "Mermaid", "The King of New Comedy" and so on.

If you want to talk about the best, this is undoubtedly this "Kung Fu", and the global box office of "Kung Fu" is also good.

However, Xu Qian did not plan to make "Kung Fu", he planned to make a simpler, easy-to-understand movie, and preferably acceptable to everyone.

Secondly, he also wants to alternate between Chinese and white people as the protagonists, pure Chinese movies are not popular in the West, and Western aesthetics are different from Chinese aesthetics.

China is known for its world-renowned kung fu superstars, but now that pure kung fu movies have declined, kung fu has only become a factor in commercial films.

Sci-fi films can have a kung fu factor, gunfight films can have a kung fu factor, and romance films can also have a kung fu factor.

With the decline of kung fu films, there are also kung fu superstars, and now the most internationally influential Chinese actor is Brother Long.

Although Brother Long is old and strong, he is still making kung fu movies, but to be honest, his influence is declining rapidly, and his kung fu movies can only have a little influence in the Chinese market.

Brother Long's famous movies back then were also cooperated with the West, and they were basically two-protagonist models.

In addition to kung fu superstars, there really is no movie star in China who can gain a foothold in the West, people don't look at you at all, you are a handsome guy in the eyes of Chinese, but you are an ugly monster in the eyes of Westerners.

"Kids. ”

Xu Qian thought about such an important feature.

Children are cute and innocent, foreigners resist adult Chinese, but what about children?

This will reduce the resistance of Westerners, at least in Xu Qian's view, children have something in common, they are cute, simple, innocent, and easy to be loved by people.

Parents in China love their children, and so do parents all over the world, making a comedy film with children as the main characters.

And children are the future of a country, whether it is football or basketball, we must start from children, that is, youth training, because thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground.

Now Hong Kong movies are very embarrassing, because they are already young, and they still rely on those old actors in the golden decade, and the new actors are still struggling with the years, and they have not become famous at all.

Now Hong Kong movies are really embarrassing.

Everything starts with children, and this is what Xu Qian has to do now, he has actually done this before, for example, he has shot many children's cartoons, and he has also filmed many children's TV series.

He even formed a "Happy Boys" group, the members of this group come from the theme song of "Happy Planet", every time a "Happy Planet" is filmed, the "Happy Boys" group will add one, of course, it is not unlimited to increase, "Happy Boys" can also fly solo, which must respect personal wishes.

Some people can fly solo when their popularity reaches a certain level, and the most popular "Happy Boy" is still "Li Yang" who plays Ding Kaile, after all, he is a generation and the most popular "Happy Boy".

In fact, the first "Happy Planet" produced several child stars, polyhedron, lotus paste buns, ice lemons and Oriental teachers are all very popular.

These people are the future of the film and television industry, although child stars may not be able to grow up, but once they grow up, it will be extraordinary.

Only the larger the base of talents, the top talents can be selected, such a truth is applicable in all walks of life, the most typical is football, registered professional players are just a little bit, and it is very, very, very difficult to select high-end talents.

"So what movie to choose?"

Xu Qian fell into thought.

Comedy movies, comedy movies with children as the main characters actually have a lot of options.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid"?

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is a comedy produced by Twentieth Century Fox Films.

The film tells the story of Greg Heffley's official entry into the first year of junior high school and the beginning of his difficult but interesting middle school life.

The little kid is a stage that everyone has had, in this stage, full of all kinds of troubles, and the male protagonist of this movie is such a little kid who is in trouble, he is a child who has just entered junior high school, in order to prevent him from developing in the future, people pestered him to ask the story of his childhood, so he began to write a diary, record his life, and want to be an autobiography for people to read in the future.

Xu Qian thinks that "Diary of a Wimpy Child" is a hilarious comedy movie, which can also remind people of the thoughts when they were a little kid, these thoughts, maybe good, maybe not good, but they are all part of our growth path, and they make up our colorful childhood.

""Little Naughty Nikolai" is also good. ”

The film is based on the same name, and little Nikolai is pampered by his parents and also has fun with a group of friends at school. One day, Nikolai's mother suggested that his father invite his boss and his wife to come to the house for dinner, so as to gain the boss's favor and raise his salary, but what little Nikolai heard and observed made him think that his parents were going to have a little brother and not want him, and the frustrated little Nikolai asked his friends for help, and everyone gave him a bunch of ridiculous suggestions, including sending flowers, cleaning up, and even finding criminals to adopt his younger brother, and at the same time, the Minister of Education also came to visit the school, and the class was replaced by a strict substitute teacher.

"Second Blood is also good. ”

""Little Sun's Dream" is also good. ”

""Home of Stray Dogs" is also good. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Xu Qian's mind has countless classic children's movies, and even many animated movies have been thought of by him, "Robot Story", "Kung Fu Panda", etc., of course, the animated movie starring is an animal, and children like this.

In the end, Xu Qian thought about a movie he watched when he was a child, which was also a classic children's movie, which was once popular all over the world, and more importantly, this movie is still a series of movies, and the potential for tapping is very large.

Many people know this movie as "Baby Zhiduoxing", or there is another more familiar name - "Home Alone".
