It is a bit exaggerated for Liang Jianhui and his entourage to alarm the entire US imperialism, but it is not at all necessary to alarm the entire Hollywood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Someone is going to say, is it such an exaggeration, isn't it just a best-selling novel? I don't know if it will be adapted into a movie. As the hegemon of world cinema, Hollywood is too bad to do this.

Actually, it's not an exaggeration to know if you understand the current situation in Hollywood.

Hollywood has truly dominated the world film industry for more than 30 years, but no more than 40 years. Not to mention other places, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, Asia was still the world of Hong Kong Island films.

It wasn't until the decline of Hong Kong Island films in the early 90s that Hollywood gradually encroached on the Asian market.

Hollywood's earliest dominance in the film and television industry depends on three aspects. On the one hand, the intervention of capital predators has given Hollywood enough money to develop special effects technology and shoot blockbusters.

Second, Hollywood established a sound film and television market system during that period of time, which regulated the entire industry. In contrast, Hong Kong Island cinema was particularly chaotic during that time. (For specific information, you can Baidu it, and you won't have the number of words.) ）

The third aspect is the richness of the content. During that period of time, Hollywood movies were full of excellent ideas, and classic movies continued one after another. It is precisely by relying on imaginative films that it has gradually occupied most of the global market.

Although the above is not comprehensive, it also partly explains the factors that contribute to the success of Hollywood films.

Then let's take a look at Hollywood movies now.

For more than two decades, Hollywood dominated by rich genres and powerful special effects. But after more than 20 years of development, they have also begun to face a dilemma - fewer and fewer good ideas.

Every genre you can think of has been used, and every routine has been used many times. If you watch too much, you will get bored.

The performance of superhero comics has also weakened, and Japanese comics have begun to encroach on the European and American markets, which is a proof of this. Thankfully, superhero movies are still dominant.

If Hollywood's hegemony in the past 20 years or so relied on creativity and special effects, now only special effects remain. That's why some people say that Hollywood is walking on one leg right now.

If you count it carefully, what are the movies exported by US imperialism in recent years besides superheroes? Some people are going to raise the bar, and there are also so-and-so movies that are also very good.

But you should take a look, are the movies you are talking about have a high popularity rate? Are they influential? If you think about the total number of movies produced by US imperialism every year, it is normal to produce a few excellent dark horses.

Of the more than 1,900 movies, how many are excellent?

In contrast, the annual output of Chinese films is only five or six hundred, and there are many excellent films. In terms of proportion, the yield rate is higher than that of Hollywood.

Unfortunately, because of cultural differences, it is too difficult to go abroad. And the five-cent special effects are really not interesting.

Hollywood entered a period of lack of creativity, and Japanese comics supported it for a while. But Riman's performance in film and television is not very ideal. And its style is a bit single, and it will be resistant if you see it too much. It is also losing the market.

At a time when superheroes and Japanese comics were gradually weakening, Chinese online novels gradually spread to the United States and amazed countless people. Some time ago, there was also news that some US imperialist drug addicts were addicted to online novels and thus quit drug addiction.

There are still too few novels that have been translated into the West, but I believe that as more and more excellent works reach the United States, online novels will inevitably shine in foreign countries.

Well, I can't help but water a few more words. Straight to the point.

It is precisely because Hollywood has entered a period of lack of creativity that they attach so much importance to Harry Potter.

As a mature market, Hollywood doesn't chase a book just because it sells it. They have a special department that evaluates book adaptations of films.

Whether the content of the story has the possibility of adaptation, whether the various scenes described can be realized, the conversion rate of book fans and moviegoers, etc. Harry Potter's evaluation data is undoubtedly the best.

If it was just a book and a story, they might not be so excited. But Quadruple (USA) Publishing House once released news that Harry Potter is a series of stories. At present, the second part is also nearing completion.

A series of stories, a series of films...... I can't say what this means.

And don't think too much about Hollywood, their profitability is not necessarily stronger than that of large domestic film and television companies. Even one of the seven major film and television companies that has been inherited for nearly a hundred years has become insolvent and bankrupt.

Half of the remaining six can only barely survive, and the profitable ones are still eating the old books of previous series and superhero movies.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they are too bloated.

Does anyone still think it's strange that Hollywood takes Harry Potter so seriously?

"Hollywood isn't as strong as the outside world thinks, and now they're relying on special effects. Don't be intimidated by their fame. Wei Zhixing talked eloquently.

It can be seen that he has not been idle recently, and he has a more comprehensive understanding of Hollywood in his spare time.

"Thank you, with this information, I have the bottom in my heart. Liang Jianhui said excitedly.

Although he can't believe it's true, he still knows something about the surface as a filmmaker. Compare Wei Zhixing's words with what he knows, and you can see that what he said is true.

I didn't expect Hollywood, which is full of flowers on the surface, to face such a serious problem. For the first time, there was confidence in the trip.

"Also, I suggest that you forget about your identity as DreamWorks and appear as an agent of the Seven Nights when you negotiate. It would be better that way. Wei Zhixing continued.

Liang Jianhui understood what he meant after a little thought. DreamWorks is, after all, a newly created company that doesn't have any fame. Negotiating with others is short of weather, and Hollywood studios will definitely seize on this to make a fuss.

It's not the same with Seven Nights as an agent. As a resource provider, Hollywood has a demand for them. When the time comes, the initiative will be in their hands.

Liang Jianhui respectfully received the teaching. It is no wonder that "Children's Literature" has become a leader in its domestic counterparts, and now it is stepping out of the country to the world. It's very capable.

Here, Wei Zhixing is introducing the situation in Hollywood to Liang Jianhui, and on the other hand, the news of their arrival in Los Angeles has already appeared in major media reports.

"The agent of Harry Potter author Seven Nights arrived in Los Angeles today. ”

"Seven Nights: Co-production is OK, but it doesn't sell. ”

Basically, people who follow the news all over the United States know about it. The major Hollywood studios naturally knew the details at the first time.

Compared with Liang Jianhui's team, these people paid more attention to what Liang Jianhui said during the interview. This is likely to depend on the outcome of the negotiations.
