After a pause, Wu Cheng said again: "No matter whether you think I'm a hypocrisy, or a personal vendetta, I can't break this criterion by myself." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you have a careful understanding of the situation, you should know that there are many films that cannot be released in North America on our side of Donglong International. At the end of the day, it's about quality!"

When Lei Jiekun heard this, he was silent.

Wu Cheng said again: "It seems that it is necessary for us to bring everyone here and have a good chat!"

The 'everyone' here refers to the bosses of various film companies in Hong Kong.

Wu Cheng is preparing to 'make the 'rules' public. Although he doesn't really have to do this, he can still do what he wants. However, in order not to pull hatred, but also to let everyone have a way forward, it is still a bit necessary to do this.

How to entertain the audience in Southeast Asia at the same time, but also make the audience in Europe and the United States also like Xiangjiang films, this is something that countless Xiangjiang filmmakers can't do if they want to break their brains.

However, such a thing, the director on the Hollywood side did it.

The popularity of later Hollywood blockbusters around the world is a testament to this.

Although Xiangjiang Films can also be modeled after the blockbuster model of Hollywood in the future, this investment is not at all affordable for ordinary companies.

No one knows if the movie they make will hit the street directly. And once the cost cannot be recovered, it is likely that a film will make them declare bankruptcy.

So, how to use small capital to leverage the big market is the only way they can go.

Looking at Wu Cheng's blockbuster films around the world, in fact, if you calculate it seriously, regardless of publicity and copy costs, the investment in filming is not very large.

Many companies grit their teeth and can still afford it.

But if you can afford it, what should you do, everyone is still in a dark eye. It's not that among the filmmakers in Hong Kong, there is no one who understands Western culture.

The key is, how to grasp the direction of the market, because in each period, the audience's tastes will change, and once they can't keep up with this change, there is only one outcome.

Of course, the fame of participating stars is also a key.

If other companies hire Hollywood stars, how much will the cost increase?

Speaking of which, the films on the Xiangjiang side enter Hollywood, in fact, Donglong International is not the only way in and out. The reason why Lei Jiekun said that this entry and exit gate was controlled by Wu Cheng was only because Wu Cheng had a cinema chain in North America, so some Xiangjiang films wanted to be released there, and they all wanted to save trouble, so they found Donglong International one after another.

In fact, in addition to Donglong International, there are also other people who do this business.

For example, the Jiang brothers of Anle Cinema Line, while they introduced some foreign films to Xiangjiang, they also introduced Xiangjiang films to North America. It's just that their scale is not large, and many Xiangjiang films are not good at the box office in North America, so it is often a loss to introduce Xiangjiang films to North America.

As time passed, the introduction of Xiangjiang tablets to that side gradually decreased.

In addition, Golden Harvest also has a relationship with Hollywood, and this line was developed by Mr. Li Xiaolong at the beginning. It's just that now because Li Xiaolong is gone, and Shenglong is not on Jiahe's side, there is not much contact between Jiahe's side and North America's side.

Basically, the situation is not much different from the Jiang brothers of Anle Cinema Line.

And because Wu Cheng has his own cinema chain in North America, many film companies in Xiangjiang will go directly to Wu Cheng's road. Because this road is a little more secure.

In addition, Wu Cheng's credibility is there, so they are not afraid that Wu Cheng will cheat them! The worst situation is that the film can't sell over there.

Therefore, in the past few years, the Jiang brothers' side and Golden Harvest's side, as well as some other ways to introduce Hong Kong films to North America, have been 'blocked' by Wu Cheng's Donglong International.

If you want to sell the film to North America, the first thing that comes to mind is Donglong International.

And if Donglong International doesn't want a film, will others want it? Although many people hate Wu Cheng very much, Wu Cheng's vision is still very convincing.

As a result, this has become Donglong International's almost control of Xiangjiang Films...... It is even the situation where some films from other countries or regions in Southeast Asia have been introduced to North America.

This is also the reason why some people think that their script is good and will go to Donglong International to try their chances.

However, this 'monopoly' situation was not formed by Wu Cheng's deliberate suppression.

It's a little bit of a feeling of 'I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me'.

After chatting with Lei Jiekun for a while, after Wu Cheng made that decision, he made an appointment with Lei Jiekun, and everyone sat down to have a good 'chat'.

Then, I saw Wang Pangjing rubbing his hands and walking over with a smile.

"Wu Sheng, long time no see!" Wang Fatjing snorted, unable to see any embarrassment at all, "When are you free, let's go out for a drink together?"

Looking at this fat man Wang, whose skin was thicker than the soles of his shoes, Wu Cheng chuckled lightly and said, "You don't have to have a drink, I met your boss Xiang Sheng just now, and he mentioned to me the idea that you intend to cooperate with me." Tell me, what the hell are your thoughts?"

Wang Panjing pondered and said, "Since Wu Sheng is so refreshing, then I'll say it directly, in fact, I want to make a gambling movie, and then go to Sun Island and North America to shoot ......."

"Like Food Truck?" Wu Cheng asked with a smile.

The drama "Food Truck" has achieved a good result in Xiangjiang...... Although it did not break the box office record of 30 million set by Wu Cheng's "Shaolin Temple", it also had a box office of more than 25 million, which is the runner-up in this year's Xiangjiang box office list.

Moreover, in North America, it is obviously better than "Plan A" and "Plan A Sequel", achieving a box office result of more than 30 million US dollars.

To put it simply, the audience in North America has gradually begun to accept Shenglong's 'witty kung fu'. History has long proved that Shenglong's 'witty kung fu' does have a certain market in North America, otherwise the later "Rush Hour" would not have achieved such good results.

What is Wang Pangjing's best at? I believe that the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be ', pee, and fart', but don't forget, in addition to these, what he is best at is actually following the trend.

Insert his ', pee, fart' in the following trend...... Well, this seems to be a bit ambiguous, so you can understand it yourself, don't think too much about unhealthy or disgusting things!

Therefore, it is not surprising that he will follow the model of "Food Truck" to shoot overseas.

Wang Fatzi coughed lightly and said, "The point is not this, my plot is like this......"

So, Wang Fatzi made a brief summary of the general plot of his script and Wu Cheng with reservations. However, Wu Cheng still guessed the work from these simple plots.

Speaking of which, that work was indeed filmed in the same year as "God of Gamblers", and its name is "The Supreme". And the success of this movie also opened a glorious era of gambling films.

The next "God of Gamblers" directly sent him to the throne of the box office champion that year, and at the same time allowed him to establish the status of a first-class director of commercial films. Then, he collaborated with Zhou Xingxing in "The Saint of Gambling" in the early 90s, opening the era of nonsensical comedy with Zhou Xingxing.

However, if a film like "Supreme" wants to achieve any good results in North America, it must be enough to choke. Because of its jokes and bridges, it is very 'Xiangjiang-style'.

In Wu Cheng's view, this is a typical fast-food comedy movie that is very 'Wang Fat Jing-style'.

It's not about any connotation, or even any core things, its selling point is just some very simple jokes, even if it is the brotherly relationship between the two male protagonists, there is no place to sublimate. It is not like "Shaolin Temple", which can sell 'kung fu', nor like "The True Colors of Heroes", which can sell 'brotherhood', and it is not like "People and Ghosts Are Not Gone" that can sell 'love' when you die.

There are many fast-food comedy movies like this in North America, and you don't need to watch Xiangjiang movies at all. Even the original time and space "God of Gamblers" after he filmed this drama has a lot of selling points.

It can be said that the drama "God of Gamblers" can be said to be the classic pinnacle of the Xiangjiang gambling film series. Zhou Yanfa's god-level acting skills have made countless people believe that he is the God of Gambling.

If it is said that in the movie "The True Color of Heroes", it was Brother Xiao Ma who made Zhou Runfa, then in the movie "God of Gamblers", it can definitely be said that Zhou Runfa achieved the "God of Gamblers".

If you look at the film "God of Gamblers" from the perspective of a Chinese person's thinking, you can even think that it is the most classic gambling film in the world, and there is no one.

It's just that the thinking of Chinese people is a little different from that of Westerners in Europe and the United States, so although the film "God of Gamblers" is a classic of commercial films, it is difficult to say whether it can also achieve good results in Europe and the United States. But one thing is for sure, it's worth a try.

The key is to see that the film "The True Color of Heroes" can sell well in the West.

If Zhou Yunfa can become famous in Europe and the United States and leave a good impression on the audience, maybe if he shoots "God of Gamblers" again next year, maybe his results over there will not be too bad.

Of course, 'revenge' and 'heroism' are still needed, and these things can be packaged simply. For example, you can add a paragraph at the end of the film, where all the money and principal won will be donated to war-torn countries for the resettlement of displaced people or post-war children.

There are still many people in Europe and the United States who will regard this kind of philanthropist as a 'hero'.

After knowing that the film Wang Panjing was going to make was "The Supreme", Wu Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he also began to have a sense of urgency in his heart.

You must know that in the original time and space, the drama "God of Gamblers" started filming after the filming of "The Supreme". Now that "Supreme" is available, will "God of Gamblers" be far away?
