conference room
Several high-level executives of DreamWorks are in a meeting, in order to speed up the pace of occupying Hollywood, Wang Zifan specially followed the example of Golden Harvest to set up a Western film department, with Mecca as the manager, and also in charge of the American DreamWorks branch, fully responsible for the production of DreamWorks Western films, with the box office of "Home Alone" exceeding 100 million, this right is not ordinarily big, according to Wang Zifan's plan, DreamWorks will allocate at least 50 million to 200 million US dollars every year to shoot Hollywood blockbusters, and the money is nominally in Mecca's hands.

"Do you have any opinions?" Wang Zifan looked down, focusing on Huang Baiming and Shi Nansheng's expressions.
Huang Baiming received the gaze and shook his head directly: "No!"
Zeng Zhiwei stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, bald guy!"
Teddy Robin jumped on his short legs and quipped, "Our western film manager will become a god of wealth in the future!"
Hong Jinbao showed envy, he was still worried about the lack of funds for the filming of "Fast Food Truck" a few days ago, he was used to the lavish spending of "The Loser", and he was particularly uncomfortable if he wanted to return to the previous model, and "Fast Food Truck" was still filmed in Spain, and the real money was like flowing water, and the cost of staying in a star-rated hotel for a day was 1,000 US dollars!
Shi Nansheng wanted to go to the United States, as his boyfriend Xu Ke did not agree, he didn't worry about letting his beautiful girlfriend go to the United States alone to develop, now that the dust has settled, he is very happy, looking at Mecca's eye-catching head, he said with an undisguised smile: "Congratulations!"
Xiao Ruoyuan, Zhang Aijia and others also sent blessings.
Listening to everyone's compliments, Mecca was very proud, swept away the decadence when she left the new art city, squinted at Huang Baiming, and smiled playfully.
Wang Zifan said: "According to the latest news from Mecca, "Home Alone" will be screened in the United States for eight consecutive weeks, and we ...... here in Hong Kong."
"What! Eight weeks!"
"So long!"
"Not kidding!"
"Isn't the box office ......"
Everyone exclaimed again and again, so surprised, Hong Kong films are usually screened for three weeks, and they will be screened for a week at most with good reputation and high attendance, which is almost a month in total, which is already the longest screening period, and the same is true for "Home Alone", and the United States will be screened for eight weeks!
Wang Zifan said: "I have confirmed the news, and now the question is whether we should cooperate with Lianying here in Hong Kong?"
Xiao Ruoyuan was the first to speak: "I don't think it makes much sense, there are so many people in Hong Kong, in a month, I have already finished watching what I should have watched, and besides, "Best Partner" was not screened in a row!"
Xu Ke echoed: "I also think that Lianying is inappropriate and a waste of resources!"
Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Isn't this a pity, if it is screened for a few more days, the box office may exceed 30 million!"
Huang Baiming said: "For the sake of 30 million, we will lose more!"
Zeng Zhiwei's smile stiffened for a moment, and then he changed his words: "I was just joking just now, Jiahe is very energetic in promoting "Young Master Long" over there, and we must also take precautions, so as not to be caught off guard!"
Seeing that no one agreed, the prince nodded, and then handed it over to the distribution company to distribute "Home Alone" to the world, and he could end it here, and then asked: "Is Jiahe promoting "Young Master Long" very strongly?"
Xu Ke has been helping Jiahe film "The Legend of Shushan" recently, and he is more well-informed, and muttered: "I heard that it is a cooperation with Anle Cinema Line!"
Wang Zifan looked at Zeng Zhiwei, this topic was raised by him, and he should not let it go for no reason.
Zeng Zhiwei showed a logo smile and introduced: "Except for some remote places in the New Territories, there are more than 20 theaters in total. ā
It seems that Zou Wenhuai is not dead hearted! Wang Zifan is not worried about the counterattack of "Young Master Long" in Hong Kong, compared with his "Best Partner" here, there is also the killer "Shaolin Temple" of the leftist film company, "Shaolin Temple" starring Li Lianjie was produced a few months ago, and he has been silent for so long, and he is waiting for a blockbuster.
This year's Chinese New Year file pattern is "Shaolin Temple", "Young Master Long", and "Best Partner", two kung fu films, and one fashion film!
Kung fu movies were actually very popular in the 80s, but there are countless fashion films that have appeared, all of which are high-quality works, including chasing girls, gangsters, love, etc., all of which are fashion dramas, and now everyone will still like them very much, these movies have changed the roughness of Hong Kong movies in the 70s, the quality is getting higher and higher, and the filmmakers are also professional, Wang Zifan pays great attention to the quality of the movie, the film "The Loser" was taken to Japan to be printed, and finally the box office was a big hit.
Another "international" image of Hong Kong fashion films in the 80s is to inherit the vision of Li Xiaolong in the 70s, bringing local productions to the international stage, such as "Food Truck" was filmed in Spain, and the audience saw Hong Kong stars "crisscrossing the world" abroad, which was naturally more psychologically acceptable than costume films, so throughout the 80s, fashion films such as "Hong Kong Japanese films", "Hong Kong Western films", "Hong Kong Southeast Asian films" and even "Hong Kong-funded Hollywood films" can be described as endless!
In the original time and space, as fashion films as the direction of the creative direction, the film companies Xinyicheng and Yongsheng were the pioneers of the fashion film trend in the 80s - the former in addition to the "Best Partner" series, but also "The True Color of Heroes" for the film industry to start the "hero" craze, and the subsequent "Eight Star Annunciation" flaunted the transformation of Hong Kong-made fashion New Year films from internationalization to family, becoming the precursor of the "Happy Family" series in the 90s;
It is worth mentioning that the situation of costume films in the 80s has entered a low ebb, especially around 1982, it is estimated that only "Shaolin Temple", "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", "Burning the Old Summer Palace", "North and South Shaolin" and other martial arts films or Qing palace films that went to the mainland to shoot in the mainland, as for the studio-style assembly line operation of Shaw Brothers, it was almost eliminated by the mainstream of the market.
Now the dream factory established by Wang Zifan is developing according to this path and annexing Xinyi City, even if the Xiang brothers establish Yongsheng, it will not be able to set off any big waves!
For example, last year, Liu Dehua's "The Story of Hu Yue" took the lead in breaking the box office record of literary films with 15 million, and Wang Zifan still remembers that "If the Wine Sells Dry" broke the box office mark of 20 million for the first time! Liu Dehua took over the filming of "Putting the Angry Sea" again!
There are very few literary films that can make money, and the popularity of these films is not inferior to that of commercial flats, and Wang Zifan naturally has to take it into his pocket and swallow all the benefits.
