Chapter 591: Heartbeat

Song Zheng is now throwing out the story of "Hurricane Rescue", mainly because this movie caters to the tastes of European and American movie audiences, and once it is filmed, it will definitely make money if it can be released in Europe and the United States.

Originally, based on Song Zheng's delicious and solitary temperament, he must have been unhappy to let him take out this classic work of urban action movies and share it with others.

However, Song Zheng can't let Huayi Brothers get a piece of the pie, the key is the distribution problem, even if it is a domestic theater, he can straighten out some relationships and release it smoothly, but what about other overseas regions?

Not to mention the European and American markets, even Hong Kong and Taiwan, Song Zheng has no way at all!

In these days, making movies is not only art, but also business, and how to maximize your own interests is the fundamental core.

Don't look at Huayi Brothers, who have not mixed well in the circle in the past two years, there are few movies that can sell well, but in the end, they have a deep heritage and have a very wide network in many regions.

If nothing else, let's talk about the American market, Song Zheng wants to bring his film to the United States to be released, but in a short time, it is impossible.

This is not a novel, the male protagonist Wang Ba was shocked, the Quartet was in guest suits, and a large number of foreigners hugged his thighs, crying and shouting for the distribution rights of his movies at a high price.

That's!

The American distribution agent looks at the results, and without the results, everything is a fool's errand, even if an obscure Chinese director makes a money-making machine like "Avatar", in front of the American agent, no one is willing to take care of it.

Taking a step back, even if there is really an American agent who has taken a fancy to Song Zheng's movie and is willing to distribute it as an agent, but in the end, the benefits that can fall into Song Zheng's hands are afraid that there will not be a few dollars left, and most of the income will be scraped clean by the theater side and the agency, and when it comes to Song Zheng, it would be good to have a mouthful of soup left.

If you cooperate with Huayi Brothers, this aspect of the problem will be much easier, who let Huayi Brothers have a relationship over there.

Although it is said that the original "Big Names" almost vomited blood from Columbia, the basis for cooperation is already there, unlike Song Zheng, who has a black eye.

In these years, the United States is the vane of world entertainment, if "Hurricane Rescue" can reach the American market, and Hollywood blockbusters, when the time comes, it will not only be a matter of fame and fortune, this is a qualification, and anyone can brag about it.

Hollywood, in the hearts of many Chinese people, means lofty.

When it comes to movies, the first thing that comes to people's minds is Hollywood, and when it comes to Hollywood, blockbusters immediately come to mind.

Every year in the box office market around the world, blockbusters from the United States have always played the role of the main force, summer files, New Year's files, Chinese New Year files, and various blockbusters take turns.

Speaking of China alone, since the introduction of foreign films has been lowered, in which year, blockbusters from the United States are not allowed to pay a single vote in the Chinese circle and seize the survival market of domestic films.

China is not South Korea, and in order to survive, South Korean filmmakers can shave their heads, launch rallies, and eventually force the relevant government departments to compromise and reduce the number of Hollywood blockbusters introduced.

The same thing will certainly not work in China.

Therefore, killing it has become something that every Chinese filmmaker thinks about.

Song Zheng is like this, Wang Zhongjun is even more so, two years ago, the "Big Names" filmed by Huayi Brothers was just to open up the American market, but unfortunately, Wang Zhongjun's ambition was finally poured on a basin of cold water.

But as a responsible Chinese filmmaker, Wang Zhongjun's heart to kill thieves has never dissipated, and after listening to the story described by Song Zheng, Wang Zhongjun was moved.

Don't look at Wang Zhongjun who doesn't know how to act, can't direct, and isn't a screenwriter, but he definitely has a vision, otherwise, he wouldn't have supported Feng Xiaogang in the first place.

Wang Zhongjun can feel that the script described by Song Zheng is definitely interesting, from the main line, the branch plot, to the character setting, the complete Hollywood model, just listening, he feels enjoyable, the rhythm is tight, not at all like many domestic movies are procrastinated, especially the actor who kills people if he disagrees, and there is no urine point in the whole process, which is ~~~~~~~ if he is taken to the United States

Wang Zhongjun thought about it, his heart beat a few times, but he didn't want to show it in front of Song Zheng, so he quickly covered it up and said, "Xiao Song! I'm afraid this book you wrote is not only for this one-third of an acre of land in China!?"

Through this script, Wang Zhongjun also saw Song Zheng's ambitions.

Song Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Wang Shengming! I heard that Huayi is very familiar with the Columbia Company in the United States!"

Wang Zhongjun smiled, they are all people who understand, there is no need to say it too bluntly, just point to the end!

Huayi Brothers needs Song Zheng's creativity, and Song Zheng needs Huayi Brothers' market and promotion and distribution capabilities.

It's really terrifying!

Wang Zhongjun first had the idea of testing the waters of the American market, and it was after Huayi Brothers was established for several years, and Feng Xiaogang also made several blockbuster movies, so he hesitated to make a "Big Shot" again and again.

But how old is Song Zheng!?

After the New Year, he was only 26 years old, and his studio had only made a movie, so he had such great ambitions.

Wang Zhongjun suddenly couldn't help but feel old!

"Yes, Xiao Song, this book has a trick!" Wang Zhongjun said, and sighed with emotion, "Xiao Song! I won't tell you, all I think about every day is how to go to the United States for a walk, speaking of which, I really have to thank you, maybe, your script can make my wish come true!"

When Song Zheng heard this, he said, "Mr. Wang, I don't just want to go shopping, don't you think that my story is quite suitable as a series!?"

Series!?

Wang Zhongjun is even more excited, looking at the Hollywood movies that enter the domestic market every year, many of them are sequels, and this situation will be more common in the future, not to mention the "Transformers", "Kung Fu Panda", and "Harry Potter" series.

It's also a Hollywood production model, and Hollywood producers may not have thought about the impact of the following films when they first made their first films, but nowadays, films are shown not only in Hollywood, but also in countries around the world, and they can sell add-ons related to these films - there is a trend of serials, and the first film is a blockbuster and is immediately renewed, which has become a feature of Hollywood films.

Looking at the characteristics of these films, all of them were launched in the summer, because they had to make money from teenagers. One of the summer activities for students is to watch movies, and children will also bring their parents to watch them, and the advantage of American movies is that they are suitable for all ages, and most of them also use a lot of special effects, and most of them are action movies.

However, these films appear in the form of movie series, and even if people don't like it, they have no other choice, so to a large extent, everyone has limited their choice, making the richness of cultural products, The development of diversity has reached an extreme, and at present, Hollywood is relying on one film after another, because many Hollywood films do not make money, but once a film is successful, it can maintain the operation of the film studio for a year, and then produce some works with strong culture and art to attract audiences with more elegant cultural tastes.

I have to mention that the technical achievements of Hollywood filmmaking are relatively high, and the content of some films may not be watchable, but the editing, sound effects and other aspects are very exquisite, such as "Harry Potter", children have watched the first six films, and the last one will definitely be watched, otherwise it will be incomplete.

Of course, Wang Zhongjun didn't know that the "Harry Potter" series, which has been in the box office market in recent years, will be filmed until the seventh part in the future, and it will continue to be popular.

However, if you can really make this "Hurricane Rescue" into a series of movies as Song Zheng said, it will be really good.

One fights for word-of-mouth, the second accumulates fame, and the third part is to grab money directly!

Why is it that Americans always come to China to grab money, and Chinese filmmakers can't go to the United States to rob it once, Wang Zhongjun thought, and even had an attack of indignation.

"Xiao Song, just this book, our two families cooperate, and our family accounts for half of the investment funds!"

Wang Zhongjun cleverly did not mention the follow-up benefit distribution, invest in half of the family, if the benefit distribution is also half of the family, Song Zheng's kid will definitely not agree, he simply didn't say it, this kind of thing, it is better to leave it to professionals to ruffle, as long as he can keep his bottom line, it is OK.

Wang Zhongjun's reaction, Song Zheng was not surprised at all, he took a fancy to Wang Zhongjun's eagerness to prove his mind to American filmmakers after the failure of "Big Shot", so he took out this script.

After the excitement, Wang Zhongjun began to be depressed again, he couldn't figure it out, it is said that his experience is definitely richer than Song Zheng, but why doesn't he have Song Zheng's unique vision!

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but be depressed, he could feel that this cooperation had to let Song Zheng dominate again.

But this time, no matter what, he also has to fight for a name, the last time the two cooperated in "My Leader, My Group", although Huayi Brothers made a lot of money, but it also made money, the producer is 1+1 Studio, there is nothing to do with Huayi Brothers at all, this time it can't be like this anymore anyway, it has to be a joint production.

Wang Zhongjun also wants to turn Song Zheng's "Hurricane Rescue" into a work of Huayi Brothers, but he also knows that it is impossible, he needs this cooperation, and Huayi Brothers also needs this cooperation, although he doesn't want to admit it, but Song Zheng's ability to grasp the psychology of American moviegoers is obviously something he does not have.

What do the American people want?

It can be seen through the two stories of "Big Shot" and "Hurricane Rescue" that he Wang Zhongjun can't figure it out, but Song Zheng knows it clearly.
