Chapter 232: You'll Have Faith in This Film
Chapter 232: You'll have faith in this film
The last time Wen Yi and Park happened to compete in the river, it was hyped up and almost led to a global discussion. Now, he is in the limelight on the first day of the International Wushu Exchange Competition.
The entertainment edition, the sports edition, are all rushing to report about him.
Fame, apparently, was opened up in the West through this exchange competition. And it became a hot character!
This is also why "Ip Man" can be released again in North America.
It was released again, proving that there was a way out. Of course, there is indeed a difference between "Ip Man" and "Resident Evil". Wen Yi knew this very well in his heart.
"Ip Man" is not only starring Wen Yi himself, but also related to kung fu. After all, now Wen Yi's popularity in the West depends on his hard work.
And "Resident Evil" is different, he didn't even make a cameo, it can be said that he is completely behind the scenes. And the actors in it, let alone in North America and other regions, even in China, their box office appeal is not strong.
Everyone knows you because of your kung fu, and they naturally want to see your kung fu when they go to the theater. "Ip Man" has this condition, but "Resident Evil" does not, although the action design of this film is still from Wen Yi's hand.
This film is well operated, and naturally there is no problem. But if it is not done well, it is likely to backfire. Among them, the most critical thing is undoubtedly this film, when everyone wants to watch it and is disgruntled, will they recognize this film!
This is also Wen Yi's hesitation to take this opportunity to let "Resident Evil" be released in North America first. The quality of North America naturally also affects the success or loss of the domestic fight with the "Biochemical Virus".
"You're looking for me?" Wen Yi smiled. Get rid of the problems in your head. A decision has already been made in mind. Then he looked at Liao Qihua and asked.
hesitated, looking forward and backward, that was not Wen Yi's style.
"Something's true. And it's not a good thing. Liao Qihua glanced at Wen Yi, and then said, "I got the news that someone has a bonus and wants your life!" β
"Oh? Is it! Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. said, "How much is my life worth?" β
"Fifty million, dollars!" Liao Qihua said with some concern, "You're not worried at all?" At this price, there will definitely be a lot of killers, and even killer organizations are tempted. β
"Fifty million, and dollars back. It seems that the person who wants my life is really bloody! Wen Yi smiled and said, "This matter." Is it useful to worry? I'm worried, the bonus won't be canceled, right? β
"No one has picked it up yet! After all, you're too famous now. If someone assassinates someone, it will inevitably cause an uproar. Some killer organizations will not fail to consider this issue. And those lone rangers will probably be afraid of your skills. Liao Qihua said. However, he said it with some confidence.
"Huh. Too many people don't even want their lives for money. How can you be deterred by this fame? As for my skills, in the era of guns and cannons, do you think those killers will be jealous? Wen Yi smiled and then said, "However, it's not that easy to kill me. Although I don't have the perception of Sun Fuquan, I don't see or hear danger and avoid it. But the perception of danger is still much sharper than that of ordinary boxers. One or two killers, they can still cope with it. β
Much sharper than the average boxer, but not sharper than the average person. Liao Qihua nodded when he heard this. The strong confidence revealed in Wen Yi's Chinese language still made him guess that Wen Yi was afraid that he had already reached the realm of seeing, hearing and perceiving.
At this level, it is not so easy to assassinate with a gun.
"You'd better be careful! I'll try to find out who is behind it. Liao Qihua then said.
Wen Yi nodded, but he didn't care about this matter at all. If you want to kill yourself, you can't use weapons of mass destruction, and you can only beat yourself up with dozens of people with guns.
Sometimes fame is a drag, but other times it's a protection!
The next day, the International Wushu Exchange Competition started again, and there were many more people watching, but in terms of the wonderful Cheng DΓΉ, it was not as good as yesterday. At least there was no visual contrast like the visual contrast that Wen Yi and the sumo king spewed out.
However, it is much more exciting than the average fighting match.
On this day, Napetrov did not play, and Iganoin did not appear, but on the whole, it was much bloodier than the first day. Of course, it's not that there are no heavyweight masters to communicate. It's just that they communicate, and for those viewers, there is simply no visual observability at all.
"Mr. Frank, I didn't expect you to be here today." After the exchange competition, Wen Yi met Frank when he returned to the hotel, and said with some surprise.
"Huh. I happened to be in Los Angeles, and Mr. Wen said on the phone that there was something to discuss, so naturally I didn't dare to slack off! Frank smiled and said, "I don't know what Mr. Wen called me for?" β
"It's nothing! I just wanted to treat you to a movie! Wen Yi smiled and said.
"Watching a movie?" Frank was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wen Yi, nodded, seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is it Mr. Wen's work?" I don't know which one? The "My Sassy Girlfriend" that just caused a sensation in Asia? β
"It's my work, but it's not that!" Wen Yi smiled and said. Walking side by side with Frank inward.
When Frank heard this, he seemed relieved. Although that film caused quite a stir in Asia, he had already known about it before and was obviously not optimistic about the North American market of that film.
Wen Yi came to him and invited him to watch a movie, and he naturally guessed what Wen Yi's purpose was.
"Oh? I don't know which one? I heard that your "Ip Man" is planning to be released again in North America. It can't be that, right? I've seen that work many times. Frank said, "I've seen all your other works." β
"Mr. Frank is really well informed. However, you must not have seen this one. Because, it has not yet been released in China. Wen Yi said with a smile.
"Resident Evil! Your smashing sci-fi film! Frank said suddenly.
"Huh? It seems that Mr. Frank knows a lot about me. It is indeed this film. Wen Yi smiled and said.
"Do you want this film to be released in North America?" Frank looked at Wen Yi and said, "Mr. Wen, you know too. In the field of science fiction films, no one can make Hollywood. I'll admit, your "Source Code" was really well made. Your imagination and mastery of sci-fi is amazing. But "Source Code" has achieved good box office results in China and other places, but in the end it is still not released in North America and other places, do you know why? β
Wen Yi didn't answer, but looked at Frank.
"Except for kung fu movies, action movies. Huaxia films were not popular in North America at all. Or rather, it has not been recognized by North American fans at all. Frank sighed and said, "The film "Resident Evil" has not yet been released in China, and there are no achievements to speak of. It's a bit unrealistic that you want this film to be released in North America first. Because no one will have faith in this film. β
"Huh! I'm sure you'll have confidence in this film after watching it later! Wen Yi smiled and said, "Of course, if Mr. Frank still doesn't have confidence in this film after watching it, how about you just invite you to watch a movie?" β
"From the confident eyes of you, I'm looking forward to this film." Frank sighed and said politely.
Obviously, he still has no confidence in Wen Yi's sci-fi film that has not yet been released. Moreover, he was a little worried at this time, if he didn't help in this film, it would not affect the next cooperation between them.
Because just yesterday, he used Wen Yi's performance at the International Martial Arts Exchange Competition to convince the company's top management. He put a lot of effort into the cooperation between the two parties, and he didn't want to be affected by this matter.
Frank actually knows in his heart that the release of this film in North America will not have an impact on the next films they will work on. And the quality of the impact naturally depends on the quality of the film, or the results of the film in North America!
If it's a kung fu movie or an action movie, Frank won't be embarrassed. But this one is a science fiction film. For Chinese science fiction films, not only he Frank, but also fans in North America will not be of much interest. (To be continued......)
