Chapter 977: Cultural Export and Aggression
Western society, especially the United States, a large country with a combined economy and military, has always been unswervingly implementing cultural export activities, and some political ideas and lifestyles, and even cultural concepts, are imperceptibly influencing the whole world.
Under this influence, many countries are familiar with the life values of Western society, and have a superficial understanding of American culture and technology.
Under the influence of this Western culture, Chinese people also celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, and April Fool's Day, but they are more and more forgotten about their traditional festivals.
This kind of influence is not only in China, but also in other countries, such as the Wa Kingdom, which is deeply influenced by this culture, so that many people in the Wa Kingdom have begun to reflect on their own culture and protest against the invasion of Western culture.
Guo Dalu is extremely aware of this situation, and some of the things he is doing recently are working hard to solve this situation.
The popularity of Chinese kung fu continues to continue, Shaolin Temple has begun to open branches abroad, Confucius Institutes have also been opened in various countries, and taekwondo training courses in the name of Guo Dalu have also blossomed all over the world, becoming a sports skill project with taekwondo and karate.
All of this he did was carried out as a Chinese person, and he played an extremely positive role in the propaganda and promotion of Chinese culture.
From this point alone, ten diplomats are not comparable to Guo Dalu's contribution alone. Let the world understand China, let China go to the world, let more people understand the brilliant culture of China inherited for 5,000 years, in this country, no one can do better than Guo Dalu!
Now Guo Dalu has become a cultural symbol representing China in the eyes of the people of many countries, and when it comes to Guo Dalu, these people think of Hua Kung Fu, Chinese square characters, and some cultural products with Chinese elements.
In the entire entertainment circle of Huaxia, it is already very difficult to find someone who is more influential than Guo Dalu, and the president of Huaxia is a few points higher than him.
But the president is only a representative in the political sense, and Guo Dalu is the pioneer of soft power cultural output, and in the cultural sense, even the president is inferior to Guo Dalu by a few points.
Now Guo Dalu has become the world's most famous movie star and director, but all his film and television works will trigger a ratings frenzy every time they are broadcast, even the most famous movie stars in the West are out of reach.
However, Western film and television people are not given for nothing, some Western film and television directors and cultural workers, their strength, keen market sense and strong analytical ability, in terms of overall quality, have far surpassed Chinese filmmakers.
Just when Guo Dalu was busy with Qingyun Club and was busy finding a way to live for traditional opera, Western filmmakers had already set their sights on the Chinese market.
Such a large Chinese film market, before Guo Dalu, has become an area valued by Western film and television people, and after Guo Dalu completely detonated the Chinese film market, it has made Western capital rush to it, and hundreds of foreign films are introduced into China every year, competing with Chinese local films for a huge box office.
In recent years, because of the strong rise of Guo Dalu, although Western films have gained a lot of money in the Chinese circle, on the whole, there is still a little bit of meaning, and there is no longer the original momentum and no resistance.
But recently, because Guo Dalu was distracted by him, he had to engage in a company on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also had to engage in quyi, and sometimes he had to write books to catch up with the draft, which was too busy, and it was inevitable that he would be a little lax in film and television production, but it gave Western films an opportunity.
In fact, as early as two months ago, the animated movie "Toy Story 2" has once again detonated the attention of all places, and has achieved the great achievement of the world's first box office in the same period, once again refreshing the box office of Guo Dalu's film and television works to a new height.
But this animated film is a work that Guo Dalu has produced as early as two years ago, but it was not released at that time, at this time, Tianxi Film and Television continued to reduce excellent film and television works, so this film was released and released simultaneously around the world, and it really won the championship in one fell swoop and achieved a surprising box office.
Since this movie, during this period of time, Huaxia has no film and television works that are enough to compete with foreign film and television, and the limelight of the world film box office has returned to the West again, and this "Kung Fu Panda" is one of the representatives.
It's just a movie made with Chinese elements as the theme, and in the end it has to earn money from Chinese audiences, how do you think about it, how uncomfortable is it, even Guo Dalu feels a little awkward.
It's not that he hates Western filmmakers because of this, people can make this kind of excellent film, that's their ability.
There are indeed a lot of noisy and patriotic filmmakers in China, and some people call for a boycott of this kung fu panda on the Internet, but it is useless to just quarrel and fart, these people's patriotic sentiments are too cheap, and Guo Dalu disdains to be with them.
"Since Westerners shoot films with Chinese elements, then Lao Tzu shoots stories with Western elements and then sells them to Westerners!
After making up his mind, he rushed to Tianxi Mansion the next day, called Ma Cheng in front of him, and ordered: "Prepare a budget of 500 million, I am going to shoot a feature film!"
Ma Cheng was slightly stunned, "A budget of 500 million?
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Guo Ye, are you going to play big again?"
Ma Cheng was only excited and not surprised that Guo Dalu wanted to allocate so much money, he had long expected Guo Dalu to make a big move, for today's Tianxi Film and Television, it is not a problem to play movies with large investments, as long as the director of this movie is Guo Dalu.
Not to mention 500 million, it is 100 million, 200 million, as long as Guo Dalu speaks, he will never hesitate.
Those who are familiar with Guo Dalu know that in Guo Dalu's film and television works, the greater the investment, the greater the return, and he has never let the investor lose money.
Although Guo Dalu has been the only investor in film and television works since he entered the film and television industry, he has already proved his strength to the world over the years.
Now as long as Guo Dalu releases his words, I am afraid that investors in the whole world will feel excited, and at this point in him, he will not worry about investors at all.
"It's not too big, but to shoot this movie, we have to cooperate with Western film and television companies, this time we will shoot Western feature films!"
Seeing that Ma Cheng was so excited, Guo Dalu scolded with a smile: "Do you say that you are cheap? Lao Tzu asked you to spend money, but you became excited!
Ma Cheng said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that you are the God of Wealth? The more you spend, the more you earn! Besides, in the first two months, an animated film made our company make a lot of money, which is much more profitable than "Life and Death Love of People and Ghosts"! Now our company has pressed billions of funds, and we are worried about what to invest, now that you are back, how can you hesitate? Even if you spend money, what to invest in now is not as good as investing in your old film and television works!
Guo Dalu laughed, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, I can't guarantee the box office of this movie, maybe it can refresh the box office height of world movies, or it may end dismally, it depends on the effect of this shooting!"
He said to Ma Cheng: "You should contact some actors in Hollywood in the United States now, and tell them that Lao Tzu is going to make European and American blockbusters, and to use European and American actors, and to find Hollywood landlords, so that they can prepare all the props we need, as well as the venue......"
Guo Dalu thought for a while, and said to Ma Cheng: "Forget it, in a foreign country, your words don't count, the matter of selecting actors is left to you to negotiate, and I will handle the rest of the props in the film and television city!"
Don't look at the Tianxi Film and Television Group in Huaxia cowhide coaxing, but there are few organizations to bird them abroad, except for the people in the film and television industry who give them some face, the rest of the local forces and gangs, few people take Ma Cheng and these people in their eyes, Guo Dalu If he asks Ma Cheng to engage in costumes, props, and venues, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult, and it will inevitably be difficult to be made difficult by local forces.
This matter has to be done by Guo Dalu in person, he, the king of the underground, the supreme of darkness, as long as he speaks, everything is no longer a problem, whoever dares to jump will be pinched to death.
At that moment, he directly called the headquarters of the 36th Overseas Gate and instructed the matter: "I will go to the American Film and Television City to shoot a movie when I go back, and you should warn some local forces in advance, don't let them make trouble, and if anyone is not satisfied, they will be eliminated on the spot!"
When Ma Cheng was on the phone from Guo Dalu, he held his breath and didn't dare to breathe, and after seeing Guo Dalu put down the phone, he dared to approach, and asked cautiously: "Guo Ye, what is the name of our movie? What is the theme? When the time comes, let's choose actors, and we have a charter." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Romance movies, it can also be boiled down to the disaster type. ”
Ma Cheng was curious: "Then what is the name of this movie?"
