How to persist in the uncertain future and create brilliance, Chen Yongren has been thinking and making plans, and he is constantly improving.

At this stage, the initial plan is to improve himself, and his idea is to first build Legendary Pictures into a clear banner, and a handsome banner, not only for Hong Kong today, but for the entire Chinese film industry.

It's just that the glory of Taiwan films has not yet arrived, and the fifth-generation and sixth-generation directors of the mainland who will create great fame in the world film industry in the future are also not famous, only Hong Kong films are notorious, both from an artistic point of view and commercial performance, they are creating brilliance, and they have lasted for decades; From a certain point of view, the current Hong Kong film industry can almost represent the entire Chinese film industry.

Chen Yongren referred to two successful cases in his memory, one is Galaxy Images, the representative of Hong Kong film production companies after the new century, and the other is Europa Pictures, a filmmaker known as the "French Spielberg" in the future.

Galaxy Imaging is successful because almost all of the films it has produced are exemplary and have their own unique style, which has left a deep impression on the audience.

The success of the film is due to its rigorous production attitude and quality control, which depends on Galaxy Imaging is a team spirit company, and most of the team members are the elite of film talents.

In the real society, individual ability is limited after all, teamwork is the long-term winning king, this is the summary of thousands of years of wisdom, three stinkers race Zhuge Liang.

Only their own perfection, can be truly based on the invincible position, which requires teamwork to pick up the gaps, Chen Yongren has the memory of 30 years ahead of this era, although with the continuation of time and its own development, the future will be more unpredictable, but the general trend is difficult to change, as long as he can steal the machine in a certain period of time, he can become the general trend, without fear of torrents.

Chen Yongren himself can be like Dong Qifeng, as the brain of the team, and become the "soul" of Legendary Pictures, because he is the same as Dong Qifeng in the future - "discerning everything and grasping the wheel of fate".

Dong Qifeng in his memory has limbs like "Shuangyou" and "Shuangliu", but Chen Yongren is not satisfied with this, what he wants to do is to surpass the "Milky Way", very people have extraordinary lives, he may not be able to do "Thousand Hands", but he has the confidence to become "Eight-armed Nezha".

As for the blood of the five organs, the current legend is no worse than the galaxy image in memory, not to mention professionals, just talking about the screenwriter, he can crown the crown for 30 years alone, and now Hong Kong has a large number of talents who are active in the film industry, and I don't want to be like that in the future, I will be silent after the golden age until it withers.

To make a golden signboard, the skeleton is indispensable, but I have a strong capital in my memory, and it is only a matter of time before I practice "King Kong is not bad".

Of course, it is not enough to have only one flag, the army is ready to go, and the law is needed to fight a war, otherwise the handsome flag will be displayed, and the army will still be like a headless fly, rampage, and no matter how strong the military strength is, it will not be able to win the battle.

What is the law? The business strategy, Luke Besson's future establishment of Europa Pictures is a good reference.

Unlike most French film companies, Europa Pictures produces films with English dialogue. This choice provides great convenience for the global distribution of the company's films, while also allowing the production of its films to attract a more international lineup.

Take the "Death Express" series as an example, the soul of the first three parts of the series is British actor Jason Statham, and the credit of action director Yuan Kui from Hong Kong should not be underestimated. The success of Europa's strategy is also evident in the fact that movies such as "Death Express 2", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Super Body" have topped the weekend box office in North America.

In addition, Europa's focus on the Asian market is also a part of its global strategy: Europa Pictures has partnered with a Japanese film company to set up a Japanese branch in Tokyo; In China, Europa Pictures has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China's Kimei Pictures.

Although French filmmakers who like literary films spurn Luc Besson, the latter has maintained the dignity of French commercial films, because in the future, except for India, South Korea and Japan, Hollywood films will have a film market share of more than 50% in various countries around the world.

As for China...... Even if it has an artifact called "Domestic Protection Month", it still barely managed to tie at the box office, which is still based on the limited number of account-sharing films and the postponement of the release of many blockbusters in other regions, and the reputation of domestic high-grossing movies is even more speechless.

It cannot be said that domestic films are not contentious, there are many other reasons, such as film censorship, Chinese as the audience's unique "people and clouds" flow and so on.

The most important thing is that Chinese filmmakers lack a heart to make good movies, and they want to be stable, and the bosses of many film companies regard movies as a business; Chinese do not like to take risks in business, resulting in many "small investment, high returns" movie mentality; What movies make money, others are all imitations.

The future society is developing in the direction of economic integration, the mainland has been reformed and opened up, globalization is an inevitable trend, some things are inevitable, if you want to compete with Hollywood movies for the market, it is necessary to shoot English films, China is a big country, but after all, it is not the center of the world, if you want to look high, you can only stand on the shoulders of giants.

"Do you mean to follow Golden Harvest and invest in Hollywood movies?"; At the company meeting, Zhuang Cheng, who had just returned from the United States, asked rhetorically.

Chen Yongren smiled, "We don't make investments, but make our own production, and we can consider cooperating with American film companies, but the company is still mainly producing Chinese-language films, but we can choose suitable films to be released to the North American market as English dubbed versions at ......the same time."

"But so far no Chinese film has been successful in the North American market, the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, we don't know much about the tastes of Americans, Golden Harvest wanted to praise Cheng Yuanlong as Bruce Lee's second, and invested in many Hollywood films, but they were unsuccessful; Even "Cannonball Speed" three years ago, although it was one of the top ten grossing movies that year, everyone in the industry knows that this movie was not a success from the perspective of market reaction......" Chen Yiji suddenly interjected.

It is rare to have a place where the Wang family can display their talents, although the young man in front of her has some talents, she is still cautious and conservative; "Besides...... There is also the issue of distribution, the reason why Golden Harvest's films can be distributed in North America is because it works with local film companies, and most of them are Chinese-participated English films produced in Hollywood, and we ...... Or is the Golden Princess's distribution network limited to Greater China, how to solve this? ”。

Chen Yongren smiled slightly and looked at Zhuang Cheng, who coughed and attracted everyone's attention, "You should know about my business trip to the United States a few days ago, ......."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they knew about Zhuang Cheng's trip to the United States, but they didn't know what the former was going to do, and they were also very strange, on a business trip...... In the newly established company, the boss is also a person who knows the roots, and a single transaction has not been completed, what is the difference?

When everyone was distracted, they heard Zhuang Cheng say amazingly, "On behalf of the company, I have reached a preliminary cooperative relationship with the American independent filmmaker Miramax, and they have agreed to be responsible for the distribution of the company's first film "Die Hard", if the results are satisfactory, I do not rule out the ......possibility of continuing to cooperate in the future."

Everyone exclaimed, you must know that only two giant companies in Hong Kong today, Wai's and Golden Harvest, have entered the North American market, but the results are not satisfactory.

Golden Harvest has been eyeing the big fat of the North American film market since experiencing the success of Bruce Lee, and the result is repeated defeats, only three years ago "Cannonball Speed" saved a little face, and many people have heard that because of Golden Harvest's repeated failures, few companies in Hollywood are willing to cooperate with it, and I know that there is new news recently, Cheng Yuanlong is going to cooperate with a person named James Geess in an action movie called "Dragon Detective".

The situation of the Shan clan is even worse, and each time it ends dismally, the most famous is one of the most famous bad movies last year, "Interstellar Blunt Tire".

It is also the history of many failures of these two giants that makes other filmmakers despair the idea of entering the North American market, which is another characteristic of the Chinese - "satisfied, why take risks".

"Miramax, I heard it when I was studying in the United States, it seems to be a small company founded by a pair of brothers, what is it called Weinstein?" Chen Jiashang spoke.

"Bob Weinstein and Harry Weinstein, I've dealt with them, these two brothers are very skillful, and I believe their company is also very promising......" Zhuang Cheng replied.

"I don't know if their company is big or small, and whether it has a future, but Americans have always been very practical, and our cooperation with them is not so simple, right?" Cui Baozhu interrupted; She was calm.

Zhuang Cheng looked at Chen Yongren and cast an inquiring look, the latter looked around the crowd, nodded helplessly, "That's right...... The initiative of this cooperation is not ours, the other party promised that "Die Hard" will be released in 200 theaters in two months, and the number of screens will be adjusted according to the sales situation. ”。

Everyone looked at each other, and the profit was twenty-eight points, it must be that the other party accounted for eighty percent, and the loss had to be compensated, which was completely their own risk, which was the kind of cooperation? Or two months later, you must know that November is the off-season of the American film market,

Of course, Chen Yongren understands this truth in his heart, but he still understands the truth that everything is difficult at the beginning, "Die Hard" is just a stepping stone, as long as it is profitable in the future, the initiative will naturally return to his own hands.

"How is the profit or loss calculated?" Cui Baozhu asked; She knew in her heart that it was difficult to change what Chen Yongren had decided, not to mention that it had been done and could not be changed, so she only cared about the key points.

Zhuang Cheng opened his mouth again to solve his doubts: "Because of the existence of the anti-monopoly law in the United States, the cooperative relationship between the theater chain and the distributor is slightly different from that in Hong Kong, and Miramax can only do 'charter and self-operate' now, so it is ......."

"You don't have to say it, I know, so ...... The other party is also kind! Cui Baozhu also stayed outside and knew some things very well, so he interrupted Zhuang Cheng; Then he asked: "In this case, "Die Hard" may be released in North America a month earlier than Hong Kong?" ”。

Chen Yongren smiled bitterly: "There is no way about this, the Christmas file is also a peak season in the United States, and it will definitely not be our turn, but fortunately, the camcorder has not yet been popularized, only a month earlier, and it is not in the way!" ”。

Everyone wondered about the popularization of the video camera in his mouth, but they didn't think much about it, Chen Yongren didn't see anyone open for a while, and smiled: "The meeting broke up without anything else......."

"Mr. Chen, my script is ready." Chen Yongren got up very much, and Chen Jiashang stepped forward.

Chen Yongren nodded: "Come to my office later, and then talk about ......."
