"Mr. Yang, this is Simmons from Carmicha Cinemas. ”

In Yang Ming's office at Oriental DreamWorks, Alva introduced Yang Ming to a middle-aged white man in a suit and leather shoes who looked unusually capable.

Alva is Bobble's old subordinate, after Bobble chose to come to DreamWorks, he was not treated by Corkley and the new general manager of Pan American Entertainment, and then after hearing that Bobble was back in the mountain, he simply chose to resign from Pan American Entertainment and follow Bobble to Oriental DreamWorks.

Of course, Yang Ming guessed that it was also possible that Alva had been in charge of the film market in Huaxia and knew the potential of Oriental DreamWorks very well, so he made such a decision.

"Welcome to DreamWorks, Mr. Simmons. Yang Ming stretched out his hand with a warm smile and said.

Simmons also shook hands with Yang Ming very graciously and said kind words.

Afterwards, several people sat down on the sofa.

"Mr. Yang Ming, we at Carmack Cinemas are very interested in the "Shaolin Temple" filmed by Oriental DreamWorks and want to release this film to the American film market. After Simmons sat down, he went straight to the point.

Hearing Simmons's words, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of the call he received yesterday, the call was from Barber, and when he heard what Barber said on the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

He really didn't expect that "Shaolin Temple", which he was not going to release in the United States and Europe, would be contacted by a theater company.

It was so surprising and, of course, very pleasantly surprised.

"Shaolin Temple" directed by Lao Chai and starring Ji Feihong, it can be said that except for the script written by Yang Ming, none of the other crew members are big-name stars.

Even in China, it is not very eye-catching.

The reason why Yang Ming did not have the confidence to release this film abroad is that the lack of popularity of the cast is one of the very important factors, and on the other hand, he does not know the acceptance of Chinese kung fu movies abroad in this world.

After all, there is no baptism of Bruce Lee kung fu movies abroad in this world, and even in the previous life, there are few Hong Kong kung fu movies that can succeed abroad.

Of course, there are other traditional film markets for Nanyang and other Chinese-language films.

After hanging up Bobble's phone yesterday, he spent the whole night wondering if he was underestimating the influence of Chinese kung fu movies.

Or, because of historical differences, will Chinese kung fu movies be able to show a more dazzling light in this life than in previous lives?

He thought about it for a long time, and he really felt that there was such a possibility in this life.

First, the Chinese kung fu movies in this world are quite in the 80s of the previous life, which is very rigid.

Second, the influence of China in this world is simply different from that of previous lives, to use the simplest example, that is, there are more foreigners in this world who can speak Chinese than in previous lives, and Chinese is one of the two official languages along with English in various important occasions in the world.

This shows the influence of Chinese culture in the world today.

In this way, if there are some incredible kung fu scenes in Chinese movies, it will be easier for foreign audiences to accept them.

There is another reason, that is, with the development of the times, the earth is more interactive, coupled with the strength of Huaxia, the number of foreigners who come to China to travel every year is several times that of the previous life, and they have not been demonized by foreign countries like in the previous life.

may be because of these various reasons, Carmichael Cinemas will take the initiative to contact Oriental DreamWorks after seeing the trailer of "Shaolin Temple", wanting to introduce the United States.

"How did your company know about our company's film? Before that, DreamWorks had no plans to bring this film to the United States. Yang Ming did not immediately answer Simmons's words, but asked curiously, this question had been guessing in his heart for a long time yesterday.

Hearing Yang Ming's question, Simmons was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hint of excitement and a little admiration: "Mr. Yang Ming, please allow me to introduce myself, I am a loyal fan of yours, and I have always paid close attention to your every move, so I will often browse Huaxia's website, and then I saw "Shaolin Temple" I feel that in this short 2-minute video, this movie shows a different Chinese culture from another angle, so I reported this video to my superiors, and the company is very interested in this movie. ”

"Eh!" Yang Ming touched his nose a little embarrassed when he heard Simmons' explanation, he really didn't expect that the question he guessed for a day yesterday would be because the other party was his fan.

This reason really made him feel a little embarrassed, and of course very honored.

However, he quickly recovered to normal, looked at Simmons and said, "Thank you for your support, if your company can introduce "Shaolin Temple", how many screens will be arranged for this movie?"

In business, Yang Ming still wants to hear about the conditions on the side of Carmicha Cinema.

Although "Shaolin Temple" does not have much attraction in terms of casting, it can be said that it is unique in terms of martial arts design and scene arrangement.

When filming this movie, although Yang Ming did not let Lao Chai invite heavyweight stars, he gave Lao Chai a budget of 100 million, and with the cooperation of Shaolin Temple, it can be said that the picture inside is absolutely spectacular.

Even after Yang Ming watched this movie, he had to admire Lao Chai's shooting skills, and some of the pictures were taken by him beautifully, which was very high-grade.

It can be said that compared with "Shaolin Temple" filmed in the mainland in 76 years of the previous life, except for the plot is roughly similar, there is no other similarity at all.

Even if this version of Lao Chai is put in his previous life, Yang Ming is very confident that it will be called a classic.

He is confident that the film will succeed in the film market inherent in East Asia and China, but he is cautious and thinks twice about the film market in the United States and Europe, and he is still not ready to release the film in these two places.

There is no way, the fiasco of Chinese kung fu movies abroad in the previous life left too deep a shadow in Yang Ming's heart.

"The company is willing to take out 200 screens for trial screenings first, and if it can, it will further expand the number of screens!" Simmons heard Yang Ming's question and replied seriously, "Mr. Yang Ming, after all, this movie is neither starring nor directed by you, and it does not have any audience base in the local film market of the United States, and the company needs to take a certain risk." ”

When Yang Ming heard Simmons' words, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

200 screens, this number is really small, but he also knows that the treatment of imported films by Hollywood theater companies is basically the same, and even some movies are not as good as "Shaolin Temple"!

However, for Oriental DreamWorks, the number of screens is really very small, which does not conform to the positioning of Oriental DreamWorks.

――――――

This is to pay off the debt on Sunday.
