Chapter 1218 Who Said I Was American
Hanston Rocket?Lin Feng was slightly stunned.
"Hehe, Lin. Now your Houston Rockets are the most watched team in the United States, and their fame and attention are no less than the Los Angeles Lakers, who formed the "team" this year. And the Houston Rockets' current record is also on par with the Los Angeles Lakers, both winning and losing on the island, ranking first in the West, plus the Houston Rockets have the competition for this year's strongest newcomer James LeBron and Wade, plus "The God of Basketball, Jordan, and Yao Ming, Lin." Such a popular team, if you don't take advantage of it, is really a treasure. James Ka Mellon exclaimed.
James Melan, as an American and a Hollywood director, is naturally undoubtedly a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. But I never thought that the Houston Rockets, a team that has declined to become the fish lungs of the league. In just two years, they will be back in the league at the top of the league. And the greatest contribution to this is naturally the young man in front of him, who single-handedly planned the Houston Rockets' sensational situation in the past two years, which is why the Houston Rockets are strong today, and perhaps in the next ten years, the Houston Rockets will be the top team in the league.
"Jenvis, what do you want to do?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"It's very simple, I want them to shoot advertisements for your" Qianyuan, mobile phones. Lin, never forget the star effect. Jenvis rebuked Mellon for something pointed.
"Jenvis, what do you mean" Lin Feng is not stupid. Naturally, I could hear that there was something in his words.
"Lin, I guess you might want to train future superstars with good scripts and good directors, but now your film company has just been established and is still very young. If you want to compete with the Oscar League, which is "a combination of Sony Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Film Corporation, etc., you must come up with a blockbuster that will attract audiences to your cinema. Jenvis Ten Mellon said.
Lin Feng frowned. This James Ten Mellon always seems to have something to say.
Hmph, I know, you may say that you have established, the National Movie Fan Club, has more than 10,000 members, but if you look closely, you should know that the vast majority of them, more than the most are young people, and these people are undoubtedly the most fickle, maybe they support you now, but they may also oppose you in the next second. Young people in the United States are very rebellious and loyal to them as much as those who have already started a family. And they have so much entertainment that movies are just one of their Zuihou options, and the real mainstream audience of American movies is still those who have families. And these people have a sense of pride in American cinema that you can't imagine that you are now making such a big deal and "Academy Awards." Playing against the stage, it can be said that they are still extremely disgusted in their hearts, and maybe in the future, these people will instinctively boycott your movie and are unwilling to enter your cinema. James Cameron said bitterly.
When Lin Feng heard this, he fell into deep thought. James Mellon, a Hollywood gold director. Naturally, he will not bluff himself by saying this, but he will have a reason. After thinking about it, Lin Feng looked at James and Cameron, expecting him to give himself a solution.
"Lin, you want to attract these people to your cinema. To get them to recognize your movie, you have to play the star card and use the charisma of the big stars to attract them!" said James Cameron seriously.
When Jen Meeron learned that Lin Feng and Ellison were going all out to create a new movie star, he secretly complained in his heart. Although he and Spielberg agreed to sign a contract with "Second Entertainment" Film Company, in addition to being attracted by Lin Feng's script and funds and the full investment rights in the process of filming the film, more importantly, Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" acquired "MGM Films", an old film company with a good reputation in the United States, and these conditions added up to the reason why he and Spielberg were willing to sign Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment".
It's just that I never thought that Lin Feng was so flamboyant and sang against the "Academy Awards". It's really unwise to work against the "Oscar League". Americans with an absolute pride complex for Hollywood films. I'm afraid I won't buy Lin Feng's account. As for the so-called "All-American Fan Club", which has surpassed Liwan's registered members, Shenma is all floating clouds. James Cameron can say unceremoniously that most of these 10,000 registered members are definitely Chinese-Americans, and they are also young Chinese-Americans.
James Cameron really guessed right. In the United States, there are about Pengwan or so Chinese. And this is the main liliang among the members of the "National Fan Club" established by Lin Feng. Although they are of Chinese descent. But after all, what is left is the bloodline of the descendants of Yan and Huang, so no matter what the outside world says about Lin Feng. Their support for Lin Feng is absolutely supportive. Because, everyone is Chinese.
However, if Lin Feng wants to use these people to sweep the "Academy Awards", which has been ingrained in the United States, and sweep the major film companies in the United States, it is definitely a fool's dream. Not distilled, in James Cameron's opinion, it is one thing whether Lin Feng's movie will cry and go to the cinema to watch it.
Therefore, James and Cameron proposed that Lin Feng play the star card and the Hollywood superstar card to attract the audience to the theater. Of course, this is not enough to solve the fundamental problem.
"Lin, if you want to make your "second entertainment" truly accepted by Americans, your "Lin Feng Film Festival, for the Americans, you have only one way!" James Cameron said solemnly.
Lin Feng had been awakened by James Ten Mellon's remarks at this moment, and he was sweating profusely for his previous blind optimism, and deeply sighed that if it weren't for James and Cameron to guide him like this, I am afraid that he would really be blindly optimistic this time. casually opened the file of the "National Movie Fan Club", and Lin Feng suddenly found that among the old files, some of them were Chinese, and the other was not necessarily pure American.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt cold in his heart.
"Mr. Cameron, please advise!" Lin Feng asked very sincerely, and even changed his honorific title between his words. The master is the teacher, and at this time, James Cameron is Lin Feng's teacher.
James Cameron smiled. Children can be taught. Nor is it vain that he speaks bitterly. Of course, he also has his purpose. And his purpose needs Lin Feng to achieve!
"Lin, you want to make your film acceptable to American audiences. There is only one way for your company, as well as for your "Lin Feng Film Art Festival". That is to make this war in the film industry a war between Americans and Americans. And not a war between the Chinese and the Americans!" James Cameron said.
The war between the Americans and the Americans? Lin Feng's mind was slightly cloudy, but he immediately understood.
Americans are very proud and arrogant, for more than 200 years, the United States has been the most powerful country in Shijie, and Hollywood movies are the originators of Shijie movies, and the target of movies from all over the world. Arguably. Hollywood movies. It has a supreme place in the hearts of Americans. And he came in so suddenly. It is even more on the same page as the "Academy Awards". undoubtedly makes many Americans unhappy, and I am afraid that I have also become an "intruder" in the hearts of Americans, and the invader of the American film industry is naked.
When he became the "aggressor" in the hearts of the American people, Lin Feng could imagine how miserable his film company's box office would be in the future. And the movie theaters that have been built with huge investment in the United States can only be described as crowded. The only way to change this situation is as James Ten Mellon said. Evolve it into a war between "Americans and Americans", so that it itself ceases to be an "aggressor"
Of course, there is still some confusion about the popularity.
"Mr. Cameron, but even if I change the president of the company to an American, will it become an American movie in the minds of American audiences? My "Lin Feng Film Festival, is it an American film festival?" Lin Feng was very skeptical that he could fool the Americans by stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix.
James Mellon smiled.
"Lin, Americans are the proudest nation of this Shijie, and at the same time, they are also the largest nation, and this nation has a spirit of tolerance, which can be known from the proportion of the major ethnic groups in the population of the United States. As long as your company hires American employees and the movie is American-style, the American audience will accept it. It will not be considered a foreign cultural invasion. Arguably. In a way, the Americans are also very reassuring. James Cameron pointed.
Lin Feng thought for a moment. Nodding, but if so, wouldn't it be a waste if you want to promote Chinese culture?
"Lin, if you want to promote Chinese culture, that's not a problem, just go through this initial mental stage of getting the American people to accept your studio. When they approve of your film company and the film festival, why not make more films about Chinese culture in the future? Didn't you watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" become a hit in the United States!" said James Cameron.
When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly realized, got up and bowed respectfully to James Ten Melon. can get today's James and Cameron guidance. Your company won't be hit hard in the U.S. anymore. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this time not only will I have to lose everything. If you don't get it, even Ellison will be implicated by himself. Although this money. It's not too nerve-wracking for the two, but it will undoubtedly become a laughing stock. And this is definitely what Lin Feng and Ellison don't want to see.
"Janis, I don't understand, you are also an American, why do you help me so much? This is against your motherland. Lin Feng was puzzled by this.
Aunt James smiled at Cameron.
"Lin, who said I was American. I'm Canadian! I'm just an American citizen! But I'm still Canadian at heart!" James said with Mellon pride.
