The news that the cost of Yang Ming's new film production reached 500 million yuan was like a hurricane, blowing through the entire entertainment industry, and everyone was shocked.

With the aggressive momentum of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years, the Chinese film industry has gradually lagged behind Hollywood in all aspects, and has even been beaten by Hollywood in some aspects.

In Yang Ming's eyes, perhaps because of the strong national strength in this world, the film industry has not fallen into the humiliating situation of facing Hollywood blockbusters in the previous life.

But if you continue to follow this pattern, it is very likely that it will not be far off.

Now the Chinese film industry is already deeply rooted in traditional thinking, which is no longer in line with the development of the modern film industry.

The most desperate thing is that there is still a huge market for this kind of traditional thinking, and Yang Ming has a feeling that he is bound by a fishing net when he shoots movies in China.

And the more he struggled, the tighter the restraints on his body became.

Yang Ming returned home, Su Su was not there, two days ago they talked on the phone, knowing that Su Su had not been in Yanjing for a while, but had gone back to his hometown in Fuzhou to accompany his parents.

He had just come back from the United States, and the jet lag had not returned, full of energy, and he had no desire to rest at all.

So I made a cup of coffee and was alone thinking about the Chinese film industry in this world and how I should go in the future.

I don't know why, as the movies he made Zuò became more and more popular and became more and more influential, his heart was always full of a sense of crisis.

Especially during this time, he experienced the distribution and release process of Hollywood's films, and even more experienced the differences.

However, the farther Yang Ming goes on the road of the film industry, the more he feels that the more doubts he feels.

In today's Chinese film industry, it can be said that there is no shortage of funds and technology, and in this regard, even Hollywood does not dare to guarantee how much stronger than the Chinese film industry.

But why is it that the movies made by the United States are big sellers, while the box office of local Chinese films is shrinking more and more in the entire film market?

What's more, in this world, China does not have a State Administration of Radio, Film and Television on it like in the previous life, so that all filmmakers are filming in shackles.

At most, it is to shoot some large-scale movies that will attract criticism.

But that's not because the development of the Chinese film industry has been stagnant!

Besides, the domestic film industry in today's China, just like the United States, also has a film classification system, which is basically the same.

With the same abundant capital, there are several giants with a long history and strong strength, and the same film system has little difference in technology, but why can't the film industry in China today?

Yang Ming just couldn't figure this out.

If it is the reason for the script, he does not believe that the entire Chinese film industry cannot write a good script, and even in his opinion, the scripts of many film companies are not bad, and they have also achieved amazing box office results, but why are movies like this always short-lived?

And not like Hollywood will continue to appear?

In recent years, policies and regulations have been introduced to support the development of the country's film industry, and even in order to learn from Hollywood, it is not taboo for directors to shoot movies to ridicule and expose the dark side of the government.

It can be said that all the shortcomings of the film industry in the past life have never appeared in this life, and they are basically no different from Hollywood.

But even so, in the face of Hollywood's offensive, the film industry is still retreating step by step, and the entire local film market is shrinking.

Although the total box office of movies is rising at a rocketing rate every year, the proportion of local films in the total box office has not only not risen, but has been declining.

Yang Ming took the coffee, alone on the balcony, sleeping on the recliner, looking at the sky outside, constantly thinking about this problem.

However, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't find out the internal reason, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, the reason was not found out by domestic filmmakers, let alone him.

But he noticed something special.

He found that every time a movie sold out at the box office, it was basically those entertainment media that had a lot of page reports, while those mainstream media, with the nature of official media, did not spend much text and pictures on the news of his movie.

Even his last hugely successful "One Goal to Fame", as well as the elements of hosting the World Cup in China, he has not seen many mainstream media reports on his "One Goal to Fame".

It's basically a brush-off.

The more influential the national mainstream media, the less coverage of their films.

Originally, Yang Ming thought that those mainstream media did not like to see the entire film industry, but he found that this was not the case, and there were still many pages in the entertainment pages of these media to report on a certain movie.

As a result, he felt that these mainstream media naturally did not want to see him.

But why?

He knows very well that there is basically no color in these movies he has shot. The bad shots and pictures that expose the emotions are not movies with the theme of violence, but why can't they be favored by those mainstream media?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming felt that he was very likely to touch the biggest difference between the two worlds in the previous life and the present life.

It's just that he can't think of anything for a while.

He didn't dwell too much on this issue, and I believe that when the time comes, when he reaches a certain level, someone will definitely help him answer the questions in his heart.

Yang Ming returned to Yanjing to rest at home for a day before returning to the company to work, he was too tired.

When he returned to the company, Liu Xinsheng asked him when he would hold a press conference!

"Whoever told you at the airport had promised those reporters that they were going to hold a press conference, and now they call several times a day to ask. Liu Xinsheng said lightly, and after finishing speaking, he continued with a sigh: "500 million, the most expensive movie ever made in Huaxia, and now the entire entertainment industry is a sensation." ”

Don't talk about the media, it's the entertainment industry, and now many people call Liu Xinsheng every day to ask about the news of Yang Ming's new film.

There are also many of his acquaintances and friends in the entertainment industry, who have contacted Liu Xinsheng in the past two days, whether they can help them get a role in Yang Ming's new film.

The cost of 500 million yuan in film production has focused the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

When Yang Ming heard this, he knew that Liu Xinsheng had been 'popular' in the past two days, so he thought about it and said seriously: "After a while, after Barber finds two suitable Hollywood stars, we will hold a press conference." ”

Regarding the specific crew preparation of the movie "2012", Yang Ming has always been in charge, Liu Xinsheng only knows a rough idea, and now when he heard Yang Ming's words, he was relieved and said: "Okay, if someone calls me again, I will push it to your side, and my mobile phone can't be turned on in the past two days." ”

"Haha!" Yang Ming chuckled twice, it seems that the 500 million system has indeed made many people tempted.

"You don't know how many people out there are crazy about your 500 million movie right now. Liu Xinsheng said with a sigh.

"Oh?" Yang Ming looked questioning.

After he returned to China, he rested at home for a whole day, and he didn't read much even entertainment news, and his private mobile phone number was basically unknown to no one except relatives and friends, so he really didn't know much about what the entertainment industry thought of his new film.

In fact, he didn't know that now the entire Chinese entertainment industry is crazy about his new product, and countless film companies are agitated, speculating about what kind of movie Yang Ming's new film will cost 500 million to shoot?

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and the more famous you are, the more lucrative your income will be.

Even the emperor superstars are no exception.

And when Yang Ming revealed at the airport that the cost of his new film production reached 500 million, the top superstars in the entertainment industry couldn't help but look at Oriental DreamWorks.

There is no doubt that they are tempted.

Especially when they link the news of Yang Ming's recent acquisition of a Hollywood film company, they can't guess that Yang Ming's new film must be aimed at the global film market.

In other words, Yang Ming's new film will definitely be released in the United States and Europe at that time.

If you can participate in the filming of Yang Ming's 500 million film production, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those superstars to increase their international popularity and popularity.

With such a great opportunity, of course, those superstars are excited.

In the past two days, several superstars have called Liu Xinsheng to ask if it is possible to join the crew of Yang Ming's new film.

It's just that Liu Xinsheng didn't know what Yang Ming was thinking, and he didn't give a clear answer.

"Hehe, Luo Tianwen's agent also called me!" Liu Xinsheng introduced Yang Ming to the shape of the entertainment industry in the past few days, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a look of bad taste.

Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, Luo Tianwen?

He couldn't help but show a smile on his face, he really didn't expect that the emperor superstar who even deigned to play a cameo role in the TV series in order to deal with himself at the beginning, now secretly contacted Liu Xinsheng for the role in a movie that cost 500 million yuan.

Luo Tianwen can now be said to be the most well-known superstar in the Chinese entertainment industry in the world, and he also starred in several movies released around the world in a row, and he has accumulated a certain amount of popularity internationally.

However, due to the recession of the entire film industry in China, there are fewer and fewer films that can be produced at a large cost and released around the world, and he has also been dragged down, and his international influence has slowly declined.

Therefore, during this time, his agent was helping him find various suitable movies in China, and at the same time, he was also looking for opportunities in Hollywood.

But the movie roles that Hollywood can give are not in line with Luo Tianwen's positioning at all.

"Isn't there a suitable movie for him on the Polly side? Besides, in order to please the domestic audience, Hollywood is now inviting many domestic superstars to play the roles in it, he should not lack this kind of opportunity, right?" Yang Ming asked puzzled.

Luo Tianwen can be said to be the top emperor superstar in the Chinese entertainment industry, even if Yang Chaowei and Niu Hua, who Yang Ming is very familiar with, they can't catch up with Luo Tianwen's attractiveness at the box office in terms of a certain kind of Cheng dù.

His senior brother Yang Chaowei may not be inferior to Luo Tianwen in terms of acting skills, but he is a step worse in terms of popularity.

And Niu Hua is not as popular as Luo Tianwen, but it is limited to Southeast Asia, and in terms of acting skills and international popularity, he is much worse than Luo Tianwen.

It can be said that Luo Tianwen is a combination of Yang Chaowei and Niu Hua, who has both the appearance of an idol and the acting skills of a powerful faction, so his type of emperor superstar is still more popular in the world.

Yang Ming didn't understand a little, with Luo Tianwen's identity and status today, would he still be moved by one of his blockbusters?

"Baoli is now spreading too big, and the blockbusters they have produced in the past two years are not good at the international box office, it is impossible for Hollywood to give Luo Tianwen the treatment of the Chinese entertainment industry, and even I heard that the role given by Hollywood has villains, unless Luo Tianwen doesn't want to mix in China, otherwise he can't take this kind of script. Liu Xinsheng said.

"No wonder!" Yang Ming heard Liu Xinsheng's explanation, and immediately understood why Luo Tianwen attached so much importance to his opportunity for this blockbuster.

In fact, whether it is the entertainment industry in China or Hollywood in the United States, there must be cultural differences.

This is like Huaxia, if you spend a lot of money to shoot a blockbuster, it is definitely impossible to use black and white people to play the leading roles, right?

Don't talk about blacks and whites, even if they are yellow-skinned, they must be Chinese!

There is no doubt about it!

This is the divide between peoples.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of the invincible superstar in the domestic entertainment industry in his previous life, and after he arrived in Hollywood, he also played some negative roles and supporting roles, and then slowly got the opportunity.

But a script like this, in which a yellow-skinned Chinese person plays the positive protagonist in a movie, is simply lacking.

In Hollywood movies, there is always an iron law, that is, to save the whole world, it must be white people who become heroes, and as for people of other colors, they are only assistants at best.

In fact, this pair of male Chinese superstars is a little better, after all, they can still accumulate their fame through supporting roles and anti-corners, and then they can also have the opportunity to play the leading role.

But for Chinese women, it can only be said to be very sad.

Yang Ming remembered that in his previous life, it was not impossible for Chinese to want to get ahead in Hollywood.

Most of the Chinese characters in early Hollywood films were created to satirize and ridicule the Chinese, and these images further formed a stereotype that was deeply ingrained in American culture. Two of the most famous stereotypes are Fu Manchu, an evil and clever criminal, and Madame Butterfly, an oriental love object who is appreciated by white people. These two impressions have deeply influenced the thinking of Americans, and even continue to the so-called racial equality today, why do you think those white rich people like to find an Oriental lover so much?

In Hollywood, Chinese actors not only have to endure widespread discrimination in society, but even need to win over white actors for roles that should belong to Chinese, and these roles are often misinterpreted by Chinese.

When we talk about the United States, lofty words such as "equality," "freedom," and "democracy" often pop up in our heads. In recent years, the White House website has opened up a petition function, and it is almost regarded as the office of the Lord of the Blue Sky by the resentful people all over the world, and it seems that only the United States can preside over the justice of the world.

But there's a difference, too, and it's the same in Hollywood.

In the past life, blacks became more and more popular in Hollywood, and Latinos also broke into the mainstream American cultural circle because of their geographical advantages, and Indian-American faces appeared more and more on large and small screens, and even TV shows starring Indians appeared. And the most unpopular in Hollywood are Chinese actors.

Of course, this phenomenon has slowly changed as the Chinese film market has become a big box office outside the United States.

Although in this world, because of the strength of China, Chinese actors are not so miserable in Hollywood, but opportunities are still as rare.

Luo Tianwen wants to play the starring role in Hollywood's blockbuster and become the male lead in saving the world, which is not possible at all, and Polaroid Company is unable to tailor a blockbuster suitable for Luo Tianwen for the time being because of several failed blockbuster productions.

Therefore, Yang Ming somewhat understood why Luo Tianwen secretly contacted Liu Xinsheng through Guò's agent.

It's just a pity that Luo Tianwen's thoughts are destined to fail, because the male and female protagonists of "2012", Yang Ming have already been determined.

In order to let Liu Xinsheng have a bottom in his heart, Yang Ming told Liu Xinsheng the news that Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling would serve as the male and female number one in "2012" at that time.

The two chatted about the new film for a while, and Liu Xinsheng also learned about the current preparation progress of the new film, so it can be said that as long as Barber finds a Hollywood star suitable to play the two roles in "2012", the movie can be started.

Yang Ming returned to the office and made a phone call to Barber to inquire about the progress of the matter.

"Okay, you can send the photos to my mailbox when the time comes!" Yang Ming said after hearing that Barber had arranged for someone to contact a few more suitable Hollywood stars, and then, he remembered something and said: "Can you find me an assistant director, well, you want the kind of assistant director who is more low-key and experienced!"

After all, "2012" is a production that costs more than 500 million, this is a big scene, whether it is in the past life or in this life, Yang Ming has no such experience, even if he has his own experience in film shooting now, he still does not dare to take it lightly.

Therefore, in addition to Lao Chai here in Huaxia, he also has to find a suitable assistant director here in Hollywood to ensure that there is no mistake in the filming of the movie.

When Barber heard Yang Ming's words, he instantly understood what his young director boss meant, but he also thought it was very necessary, and immediately said: "No problem, I'll send the director information that meets your requirements to your mailbox when I go back." ”

Yang Ming suddenly relieved his heart, and immediately felt that his decision to invite Barber to join Oriental DreamWorks was wise.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not have such a strong network of contacts and relationships as Baber, with Baber here, Yang Ming can save a lot of energy now and focus on how to make a good movie.

He thought about the preparation of the crew in the office for a while, but he didn't know why he thought of Luo Tianwen again.

Thinking of Luo Tianwen, it is not that Yang Ming wants to give him a chance, but that he thinks of the difference between Hollywood in the past life and Hollywood in the present life.

Even from the difference between the two worlds of Hollywood, the difference between China can be reflected.

has the bottom in his heart, so Yang Ming told Liu Xinsheng the news that Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling will serve as the male number one and female number one in "2012" at that time.

The two chatted about the new film for a while, and Liu Xinsheng also learned about the current preparation progress of the new film, so it can be said that as long as Barber finds a Hollywood star suitable to play the two roles in "2012", the movie can be started.
