Chapter 275: Movies Can Be OEM?
"Crazy Stone" is being screened, and it is not hot on the Internet, but netizens still ran to the exclusive discussion area built by Penguin to quarrel.
"I've watched Crazy Stone, it's so funny, hahaha...... I'll give you a lung!"
"That can is so interesting, hahaha, it's really a bloody case caused by a can, and then there was a plot of being deceived into winning the lottery, it's so funny!"
"'You kid is really willing to pay for it!' Ha Lu haha...... This is interesting, that stone is real, but it's a pity that the thieves don't believe it, hahaha......"
""Crazy Stone" is really funny, but I feel that the trailer of "The Cutest Man" before the start of the feature film is better, really, I really didn't expect that our country's movies could be made like that. ”
"This, indeed, judging from the trailer, this new film seems to be very good, Wu Xiang said that he spent 200 million, it seems that it should be more reliable. ”
"Hey, it's not that easy than Hollywood, I'm afraid this trailer is good, but in fact, it's a bad movie. ”
"Hey, it's too popular, isn't it, the domestic ones are so unbearable?"
"Anyway, I'm afraid of domestic products, don't you all buy foreign brands and don't buy domestic products?"
"This is talking about a movie, why is it related to domestic products again? Is there any mistake! Besides, you yourself are not 'domestic products'?"
That's the way things are on the Internet, it's easy to 'crook the building', and as long as there is a little opportunity, it's too boring not to quarrel.
This is all very normal. It's so normal that it's already a daily routine, and Wu Xiang has no intention of taking care of such a daily life. Don't forget that he has a new film to make.
"Source Code" is Wu Xiang's first film to enter Hollywood, after Wu Xiang returned to China, Mendes began to make preparations, and this preparation is mainly to re-assemble a team, the previous production team in the @ people film company, it is impossible to make blockbusters. Although they can help in some places, according to Wu Xiang's request, this production team must be reorganized.
What is Wu Xiang's request?
The staff needed in a Hollywood movie. Like makeup, styling, costumes, props. Fitment...... These are positions with strong skills in a movie. Find some experienced people and let them lead the team, this team is not American, it is our country!
In other words, I, Wu Xiang, only need some department heads, and then the people in the department are all my people, and these people are from Hollywood. They're here to 'pass on the help' and let my people. Get a good opportunity to learn and practice.
In this way, in fact, it is very similar to the current economic cooperation between China and the United States, the United States produces things by us, you produce designs, drawings, and standards, and that's it, and we will do the rest.
It sounds as if Wu Xiang is ready to turn his film career into an OEM company. But in fact, this is the fastest way to connect with international standards and advanced learning experience!
That's right, there are indeed a lot of disadvantages to doing this, such as we are all doing low-end industries, we are paying a high price, we do more than the Yankees, and take less than the Yankees......
All of the above is true, it is indeed true, Wu Xiang doesn't want to deny it, he himself knows very well that such a result will indeed occur, but why would he do this?
It's very simple, because we are still behind each other!
Chairman Mao famously said that if you are backward, you will be beaten. From a modern point of view, this sentence means that we will suffer a loss if we fall behind, but the question is, how can we not suffer this loss?
This loss is that some people in later generations gave an example, the old ladies in the United States can live in mansions, and when they have nothing to do, they will go out to travel to the whole world, while the old ladies in China can only hunch over and work hard all their lives, and they will not be able to rest all their busy lives. Of course, the old American lady may not be a working person, but this example is a good mockery of the status quo of working people in our country, who do more but take less.
Wu Xiang knows very well that he has heard such a story, and he knows that there is a public knowledge that such a metaphor has been mentioned, but Wu Xiang knows even more that he knows that this 'loss', we must eat!
Because if we don't suffer this 'loss', then we will suffer a greater loss, and we will suffer a loss for a longer time!
Because we are not engaged in this low-end production work now, then we will not have the opportunity to participate in the high-end competition in the future, is it that the high-end science and technology are all rootless water, no roots?
!
Therefore, we must eat this 'loss', and we can't eat it, but this 'loss' is not necessarily so bad.
As far as industrial production is concerned, the Americans are indeed powerful, monopolized by all kinds of high-tech technologies, and have a lot of patents, but when they give the 'production' and this work package to the enterprises of our country, then it will produce a very direct result.
Workers in the United States are laid off, because they don't need so many people to work, and the workers in the United States are so expensive, why should they be paid?
At the same time, workers in our country are on the job, and although the wages may be relatively low, this is a job, and for a country with a population of more than a billion people, employment is not a joke.
Moreover, the Americans did take more profits, which we admit, but the Americans who took more profits were only a few, a small number of elites, and a large number of workers were laid off, which very directly caused the gap between the rich and the poor, and the huge gap between the rich and the poor was created.
The 1% and 99% stories are not a joke, and people will go to the streets if they can't survive!
And our country seems to get less profits, but the number of people involved in this division of labor is relatively large, and the words labor-intensive industry come from this way. Other words. This profit will be shared by more people in the future, so that although the boss will also take the lion's share. But at least it won't be as serious as that of US imperialism.
This matter is actually very complicated, but Wu Xiang knows one thing, that is, the 'loss' we are eating now will bear golden fruit in the future. The old lady of our country may have bent her own waist, but her children and grandchildren will not do this, and even her heart is not unhappy!
And not just in the industrial sector. The same applies to the field of film.
So......
That's right, Wu Xiang asked Mendes to recruit only a few backbones this time, and he made up his mind early on. Most of the shots of the movie "Source Code" are to be shot in China!
Anyone who has watched the movie "Source Code" should have doubts about Wu Xiang's idea, because that movie was obviously shot in Chicago, the windy city of the United States. The taste of Chicago is very strong. Could it be that Wu Xiang changed the scene of the script?
No, Wu Xiang hasn't changed too many things, including scenes or anything, but don't forget, there are a lot of interior shots in "Source Code", and there are a lot of shots of the inside of the train, although the trains in the United States are very different from the trains in our country, don't forget. Movies can do magic.
Wu Xiang is going to make a Hollywood movie in our country this time. The audience can't see it at all, which is the most interesting thing about Wu Xiang's directing this time.
Since this is a Hollywood movie, an authentic Hollywood movie, it must meet Hollywood standards in terms of technique.
Hollywood is very strong in styling and makeup, they have the best skills in the world, especially stunt makeup, this time Mendes contacted an experienced makeup artist in Robert Kuzman's company, named Donnie Pudding.
This Donnie Pudding may not be well-known and has never been to our country, but Robert Kuzman is very famous, Robert Kuzman is the famous Hollywood 'KNB' group, the K, this KNB group is very powerful, they have created a series of classic horror movies, such as "Evil Dead", "Ghost Street", "Scream" and so on...... It's just that now this Kuzman has gone solo and has become his own company, so Wu Xiang still attaches great importance to this Donnie, and it seems that Sam Mendes still has some ability.
Wu Xiang is just important, but some people have directly become good students, and this person is Sun Daxing.
"Mr. Donnie, are we adding something like blood to this place?"
"It depends on the condition around the skin, but also the angle of the shot, the light and dark characteristics, otherwise it will make people feel fake. ”
In front of a picture, people can talk for a long time.
There are naturally a lot of similar situations, basically, Wu Xiang's 'Hollywood' movie uses the skeleton of Hollywood, and then his own people go up to make flesh and blood, in fact, it is best to let these individuals give more lectures to our domestic students, and the students of our domestic art academies really like to be stars, and there are few who are willing to engage in technical work.
But no one is to blame for this, how good it is to be a star, to make money and be famous, who doesn't want to do it?
Because there are a large number of Hollywood professionals in the crew of "Source Code", it will take a run-in time, so they will come over first, and it will take a while for this movie to start filming, and in addition, Jack Gyllenhaal is also popular now, and his schedule will have to wait.
But it's okay, this can allow Wu Xiang's people to learn more from the advanced experience of others, and when we learn it in the future, then ......
Whether they are laid off or not, this matter really has little to do with Wu Xiang, it really has little to do with it. This is all due to the inferior nature of capitalism, Wu Xiang just conformed to the times, and now he is doing it, all walks of life.
But however, the old courtiers of Cheng@Ren Film Company were all laid off by Wu Xiang, they still went to find other companies to continue their careers, Wu Xiang would never make that kind of movie.
Not only that, but we have to change the name, but what is the name? (To be continued......)
