Chapter 650 "81194" is released

"I heard the news that next year you'll be on the cover of Time magazine. Wang Xingchui found Zhou Xingchi to chat.

"You're so well-informed, I just heard the news, and it's really a big guy. Zhou Xingchi said with a smile, "Sister Mei's matter, thanks to you, otherwise we people would not be able to find such a good medical team if we have money." ”

"It should. Wang Yao smiled, "What are the plans for the next movie." ”

"I want to take advantage of the heat of "Kung Fu Football" to make a kung fu movie. Zhou Xingchi smiled, "I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have a special feeling for kung fu, I heard that you are very good at fighting." ”

"I don't know much about technique, it's all brute force. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"It's powerful, it's powerful. Zhou Xingchi made a pose: "Two hands?"

Wang Yao posed in a Tai Chi starting pose.

Zhou Xingchi blinked and shrugged, "Lose." ”

"Lost in age?" Wang Yao chuckled.

"It's all lost, I'm my age now, and I'm not lower than your age, sure enough, my positioning is right, it's a small person. Zhou Xingchi smiled calmly.

"We're different people. Wang Yao smiled, "But you are a senior." ”

"Seniors, this thing is becoming less and less valuable, and now young people are very fierce, and they can't be provoked, and they can't be provoked. Zhou Xingchi lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "If you have something to do with me, you can say it bluntly, you have a life-saving grace for Sister Mei, and you are also for me." ”

Wang Yao smiled, "It's just small talk, are you interested in coming to Hollywood?" ”

Zhou Xingchi smiled, "Leslie said that there is no need for Chinese people to go abroad, if they want to shoot, they will shoot for Chinese people." ”

"He's an actor with a different mission. Wang Yao smiled, "The director is like the principal of the school, the actor is the teacher, a good teacher can teach good students, but a good principal does not teach a good teacher, and you have to find better resources to give feedback to the school." ”

Zhou Xingchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "However, there is a cultural barrier, let alone foreigners, my movies are not very understandable to mainlanders, especially my type that starts from the pattern of growing up soil." ”

"Not everyone can understand the expressions on "Titanic" about race, class, feminism, love and other aspects, but it does not prevent people from watching the movie fluently, you are different from other directors here, your movie is very smooth, anyone watching it, it is very smooth, Wang Jing is too vulgar, Wong Kar-wai is too elegant, and everyone else is like this. ”

"I don't have much confidence, it's too difficult to make movies now. Zhou Xingchi seemed to be a little moved.

"There's a process. Wang Yao smiled: "If you figure it out, you can find me." ”

"I like to talk to investors, and it's hard to be satisfied with the script. Zhou Xingchi said with a smile.

"Of course I was mentally prepared. Wang Yao chuckled and waved his hand.

"Losing money in Hollywood is not the same as at home. Zhou Xingchi was stunned, a little surprised by Wang Yao's confidence.

"I have the best marketing team in Hollywood, so it's not too bad. Wang Yao smiled, "I invested in a small-budget movie last year, and in the first week of its release today, it won the ninth place at the box office in the United States." ”

"Wow? Zhou Xingchi said with an exaggerated smile, "The popularity of "Hero" has not passed, and there will be another one?"

"Good things come in pairs. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"81194" was released last week, this biographical film adapted from a true story, the investment cost includes Wang Yao's special effects, and it is only three million US dollars, mainly because the actors are too cheap, and the male protagonist is a rookie actor, whose appearance and acting skills are in line with Western aesthetics, called Jin Dong.

Harvey took advantage of the residual heat of "Hero" and the scandal heat of Wang Yao and Nicole Kidman to do a marketing on this niche movie, coupled with the cooperation between Yew Wah Company and all literary and artistic theaters in the United States, the pre-film scheduling rate supported by the entire North American literary and artistic theater chain, as well as the core of the story itself is strong enough, coupled with the anti-war theme, it is very popular among young people from all walks of life after its release.

The online score of Qiming movies soared to 8.6, and then Harvey used this praise rate as a gimmick to operate another wave, pulling up the film schedule of the cinema chain, and after the audience was wider, the box office skyrocketed, although the evaluation was 8.0, but it was very fruitful.

won three million box office in the first week, and it is conservatively estimated that if there is no accident in this movie, it can make a small profit, the focus is to directly drive the sales of the physical book of "81194", after the movie was released, there were a lot more book orders, which was a surprise.

Moreover, the US imperialists did not find that this movie was a reflection of last year's Nanhai incident, and the mainstream praised it.

Rookie director Hanks also became famous because of this, and it is estimated that he will be nominated for Best New Director at multiple awards this year.

Wang Yao's layout abroad is very smooth, after the film company has been on the right track, coupled with the domestic plan, the combination of the two, it is only a matter of time before the foreign cultural output is made, but the ensuing demand makes Wang Yao's supply a little difficult.

The prestige value harvested in North America has begun to be unable to supply generation production, he needs to expand new areas, in addition to the Dragon Country is the most populous country in Gaia Star, Wang Yao is eyeing Indonesia, which is also one of the four ancient civilizations, this populous country has not continued the glory of its ancestors, but has become a colony, Wang Yao still listens to sympathy for them.

As for Wang Yao's plan to develop in Indonesia, Harvey was the first to express strong opposition.

"Boss, although I know that you are engaged in charity, but let me tell you, that place in Indonesia is not engaged in charity, it is to scatter money, they may not need others to save them, but an awakening of self-awareness. Harvey came from LA to see Wang Yao to talk about building a headquarters in Hollywood, but he didn't expect to hear the bad news: "How difficult it is for us to make money, it's not the wind blowing." ”

"Calm. Wang Yao smiled: "Don't underestimate the potential of the world's second most populous country." ”

"Their country is different from yours, they have no potential. Harvey exclaimed, "I used to want to go there to open a branch and I didn't tap the potential of newcomers or anything, but even in the capital, I couldn't find a place to stay, and there were basically no movie theaters, all of them were video halls, you know, video halls, the kind that you can watch for a dollar for a day, maybe curry." ”

Wang Yao was amused: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions about curry." ”

"God, that stuff is really unpalatable. Harvey rolled his eyes, "No, don't digress from the topic." ”

"It doesn't take much investment, it is estimated that 10 million US dollars is enough. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"Ten million?" Harvey raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really?"

"Will I lie to you?" Wang Yao said with a smile, "Actually, you don't understand, there are not many rich people in Indonesia. ”

"I know, next door to my house is an Indonesian third brother, who is indeed very rich, but there are a lot of rich people in that country, but it is too difficult to earn their money. Harvey pouted.

"You don't understand the structural features of that country. Wang Yao said, "In fact, Indonesia is still in the stage of enlightenment, does it have much understanding of the world, and it is very limited to close the country, because the upper class needs to make some achievements if they want to maintain their rights and interests." ”

Harvey frowned, "You're not going to join forces with the authorities, are you?" ”

"Not with the officials, but with some of them who are rich. Wang Yao smiled: "I thought of sponsoring with La." ”

"Can it be stable? Find those third brothers, it is better to go to Northern Europe to fool those stupid nobles. Harvey muttered.

"Try it first, put the things at the headquarters first, and then prepare at the end of the year without worry. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"Boss, you can't favor one over the other, I've heard that you have built one of the top communities in the world in your capital, and it's not inferior to our headquarters. Harvey smiled and said, "You don't know, two days ago, I went to the global headquarters, and Elsa's old lady deliberately mocked and asked where our company was, which was just infuriating." ”

"You can reply to her, in the box office. Wang Yao smiled: "I'm not talking about the Huaxia Grand Theater on the Avenue of Stars." ”

"It's not a pretty building. Harvey said, "And it's not imposing, I know that Jeffrey Katzenberg has a big villa that fits perfectly for the headquarters, and that piece of land is now estimated at two billion." ”

"Hehehe, I can't afford to sell it. Wang Yao sneered, "You, don't hit my attention." ”

"You sell a little bit of Facebook, and you're going to have it. Harvey laughed, "But I've heard that Facebook's shares have been up and down for two months." ”

"Now sell at a loss. Wang Yao glanced at him, "Okay, will Disney let go of this matter first or will it be hostile to us?"

"It's not going to die, especially since Pixar won't take his orders this year. Harvey laughed.

"Forget it, woo Universal or Sony. Wang Yao sighed, "Why don't you understand the truth that harmony makes money." ”

"Boss, you're cramping people, what kind of harmony do people talk to you? It's good if you don't work hard. Harvey laughed.

"By the way, "The Lord of the Rings 2" copied the idea of "Heroes", is there any follow-up?" Wang Yao suddenly remembered something.

"Didn't you say don't make a big fuss first? Harvey was stunned.

"I mean, if you don't make a big fuss, the other party has to give an explanation. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"People say that the two films were filmed almost at the same time, and there is no plagiarism. Harvey said.

"The audience doesn't think so, who let us release it early. Wang Yao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Pinch them with this, and then make a big deal when the time comes." ”

"Tut-tut, boss, you are really getting more and more treacherous, and you have really grown up. Harvey looked at Wang Yao's expression and smiled.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. Wang Yao smiled.

"How long are you going to stay here? I can't help it, I might as well go and prepare for the shoot, it's all money to delay a day." Harvey said.

"I've already arranged for someone to prepare first. Wang Yao smiled, "One day when you get sick, I will accompany you like this." ”

"I was really impressed. Harvey was stunned for a moment and said seriously, "But I don't want this day. ”

Wang Yao smiled, didn't say much, and browsed the film reviews about "81194".

The Reappearance of Fallen Chivalry

"Behind you is the motherland, this sacrifice is too great"

"Why is it a Chinese actor? Is it because the boss is Chinese?"

Overall, it's good, but there are still some eye-catching comments, Wang Yao deleted them casually, and after browsing them, he found that there was an unexpected gain, that is, Asian actors like Jin Dong are quite marketable in the West, and there are more than 1,000 fans in the fan group.

Sure enough, the young generation on the Internet does not have so many colored glasses.
