305 to create a personal image

In October 2007, Chen Xueqian presided over a series of strategic meetings of his subsidiaries in Jinling, and also carried out the final mobilization for the milestone of CC Technology on January 1, 2008. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In late October, Chen Xueqian left China again and took his own special plane to Los Angeles. Ready for his new film shoot.

This time for the new movie, Chen Xueqian decided to play the role of Scarlett Johansson, and found the American Broadway obvious Morgan Freeman and South Korean movie star Choi Min-sik. The filming locations were in Taiwan and Paris.

The reason why he matches stars like this is that he realizes that he has unprecedented popularity in South Korea recently, and at this time, as long as he adds another Korean star, he can basically get box office guarantee in South Korea. After all, this movie is more aimed at the box office.

As for these two locations, they were designed to win the box office in Asia and Europe. It can be said that in order to ensure the success of this movie at the box office, Chen Xueqian can be said to have worked hard.

In fact, looking at today's world film industry, it is not difficult for you to find that the movies that can really sell well in the world are not only Hollywood blockbusters, but also the films of several well-known directors in Europe and the United States. There are really fewer in other countries.

The saddest of these is Asian cinema. In terms of market size, the Asian film market actually occupies a large part of the world film market. Asian films, however, rarely make any decent overseas box office.

In terms of the distance from the North American film market, the best result achieved by several major Asian film powers in North America is Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which has achieved more than 100 million US dollars in the United States, and completely crushed the box office of other Asian films in North America at the box office.

If you don't look at a single movie, you can count it by country, then the market share in North America was China in 2006, and India after 2006.

As for the Korean movies that many Chinese people think are very good, in fact, except in South Korea, the box office in any other country in the world is extremely dismal. Looking at the box office results over the years, the Korean film "Train to Busan" has achieved fairly good results in Europe and the United States. The rest is barely mentioned.

However, compared to the Asian film market, the box office performance of Asian films is really poor, and this is actually a cultural invasion.

For a long time, Chen Xueqian has worked so hard to make money in the American film market, which has the intention of making back the deficit for Chinese films. It's just that his success fundamentally doesn't have much practical effect on Chinese films. In fact, he is quite similar to Ang Lee, and their works have basically no traces of their own culture.

But fortunately, Chen Xueqian has always been a pragmatic person, and he still cares more about how much money he can make than promoting the development of domestic films. However, although Chen Xueqian himself is not a genius in terms of film, it is unlikely that he will not rely on plagiarism to complete an excellent movie, but at least through his efforts, he has pointed out a way out for Chinese films.

Since Hollywood movies are popular all over the world, why can't Chinese films participate in it and gain their own voice in the world film industry in the way of co-production? Hollywood films are an assembly-line production method, which is not exclusive to Hollywood, and Chinese films can learn a lot through cooperation.

And because of Chen Xueqian's horizontal insertion, many excellent works in the United States in his previous life have been taken by him, so that, to a certain extent, Chen Xueqian is equivalent to weakening the overall strength of American films.

In today's world, movies are the script after all, and if you look back, the box office rankings in American films and television are basically occupied by superhero movies and big IP adaptations. It's not hard to see how important a good script is to a movie.

Chen Xueqian's decision to shoot this new movie at this time is to tell some people that the so-called Hollywood movies do not actually refer to Hollywood productions, Hollywood movie stars starring, and not even the so-called Hollywood-style film production model.

A true Hollywood film is a Hollywood-style storytelling method, and it is better to have less political elements in commercial films, after all, even when the United States peddles its own patriotic education, it is usually slapped in the face by the world audience.

In fact, in later generations, there are many directors in China who try to produce Hollywood-style assembly line movies, and they are all big directors, but their achievements are really lackluster.

Among them, the most active is the national teacher Lao Mouzi, not to talk about how much he has really contributed to Chinese films, but at least he is indeed a filmmaker who wants to promote Chinese films to go global. The Chinese director, known as a national teacher, basically devoted himself to this in the later stages of his film career.

It's just that Chen Xueqian always feels that he seems to have gone astray from the results.

Chen Xueqian's visit to Los Angeles not only arranged many preparations for the new film, but also prepared to promote the release of his film "The Melting Pot" in the United States.

As I said before, the box office of Korean movies in the United States has always been dismal, but Chen Xueqian brought this movie to the United States, and it was not originally the box office.

Chen Xueqian previously established himself as a responsible and conscientious humanistic director in Europe and the United States through a "Focus". It can be said that it has slightly saved its reputation.

And this time, Chen Xueqian brought this film to the United States to further strengthen this image.

Many times, a good image setting will bring you a lot of unexpected surprises.

On October 25, 2007, Chen Xueqian appeared in a welfare organization in Los Angeles donated by the World Disability Protection Fund established by Chen Xueqian. At the same time, he volunteered for a day in a community in Los Angeles.

After a series of actions, Chen Xueqian said in a media interview: "I don't think that doing charity necessarily means donating money, and I don't think that the amount of money donated can fully represent the contribution made to charity." More than that, I think people who have good intentions and participate in philanthropy where they can are truly great people. All I'm doing today is hoping that more people will set a good example. At the same time, I also call on society, and for the world, to be more concerned about those with disabilities who are vulnerable. ”

Because of Chen Xueqian's series of behaviors, Chen Xueqian's recognition in mainstream American society cannot help but be further strengthened. You must know that there is a strong volunteer culture in the United States, almost every college student has volunteered, maybe they are not all sincere, but at least they all agree with this cultural attribute. In this way, Chen Xueqian shows his compatibility with the country.

With such a cognitive foundation, when Chen Xueqian's new movie was released in the United States, although due to cultural differences, the movie was not popular, but after all, many audiences walked into the theater, and they did not leave the theater early because of the depression presented by the movie.

On the contrary, this film aroused a lot of people's sense of social responsibility, and many people began to pay attention to the socially disadvantaged. This is something that this film failed to do in the previous life.

In terms of film criticism, the New York Times commented on the film: "In terms of a low-budget limited film, this film has a huge impact!" ”

And the Seattle Times also said that the film "did not hide its flaws, and shocked all moviegoers." ”

The day after the film's release, the Los Angeles Post commented on it from a different angle.

"The Crucible is a work that tortures the conscience of society, and its greatest significance is not to ask us to sympathize with the poor and vulnerable people in the film, but to question us who allow this ugliness to exist, and question why this society is indifferent to this kind of thing. Chen Xueqian has actually made many films like this, from the original Korean film "The Gift of Room No. 7" focusing on people with incomplete intellectual development, to "Focus" focusing on sins covered by religious halos, and then to the more depressing "Melting Pot", this series of films fully demonstrates Chen Xueqian's values as a socially responsible director. And this kind of value knows no country or race. We only hope that justice will come to the world equally. ”

Seeing this report, Chen Xueqian understood in his heart that his purpose of building a personal image was completely completed. Then when he releases his new mobile phone, it will definitely have a strong appeal in the mainstream society of the United States and even the Western world. At that time, any attempt to use ethnic antagonism or ideological differences as an excuse to block it will lose its market.

Chen Xueqian has thus cleared the last obstacle of the huge aura of his father of smartphones. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

In addition, I recommend a book to everyone: "Urban Feng Shui Master": the style of writing is smooth and the writing is also good. The plot is compact, with ups and downs, and 10,000 words are omitted here.
