Chapter 684: Comparative Analysis

Thiruvananthapuram, where the Padmanaba Swamy Temple is located, is the capital of Indo Kerala, and although it has a population of just over 600,000 people, it is also the only place where ancient classics such as Sanskrit, ancient Indian medicine, astronomy, and Yuga Sutra have been well preserved.

Kerala has a pleasant climate and beautiful natural scenery, and in addition to Hinduism, there are also Islam and Christianity, and the religious atmosphere is very relaxed. The most incredible thing is that the literacy rate of the local residents has reached 95 percent, including women, and it is an out-and-out miracle that such a place has appeared in Yindu, a patriarchal country.

This group of more than 160 people set up dozens of tents near the temple, used special vans to pull the equipment and daily necessities of the airport transport plane to this improvised camp, and treated people very kindly, and when it came to shopping, they seemed to be well-educated.

"We have to admit that Hollywood's shooting concepts and techniques, as well as the research and application of computer special effects, are incomparable to Chinese films, not only have a mature system, but also strive for excellence in every link, directors, screenwriters, actors, editors, etc., each of them is responsible for what they are good at."

"There is time in this, after all, our film history is too short, the precipitation and accumulation are not enough, and the foundation has not reached a solid level. There is also the strength of industry and scientific research, Hollywood's computer special effects are done well, which is reflected in this aspect, in addition, Hollywood's film creation and shooting environment is also more relaxed than ours. ”

"On the other hand, our Chinese model basically belongs to following Hollywood, although it has also begun to pay attention to the use of computer special effects, but it is reluctant to invest so much money, where does the money go, this has to talk about the investment distribution ratio of a movie. Each Hollywood movie has a proportional limit, which part costs how much money, a budget has been formed in advance, and the expenditure on publicity is extremely amazing, not relying on star effect alone to ask the market for box office. ”

"They are using celebrities to star in movies, which can bring higher popularity and box office, and the salaries of actors from various countries are indeed rising, and the increase is still very large, but the income of Hollywood box office is directly proportional to the salary paid. With all the money given to celebrities, limited shooting funds, limited shooting environments, limited computer special effects funds, and limited publicity, can such a movie achieve high box office? ”

"I don't think that Huaxia films are taking detours, without such an experience, filmmakers will not mature and know what to do and how to do it. It is the market that determines the future of films, and Huaxia has the world's largest film market, which is difficult for Hollywood to refuse. Wu Chen was in his office and received Li Press's crew.

The participation of the Huaxia crew in the competition for the best foreign language film at the Academy Awards is also a major event in the Chinese film industry, and reporters from several well-known media also followed the crew to Los Angeles, and at the request of these people, Wu Chen was interviewed.

"Miss Zhang Ziyi, I don't think it's a good idea for you to break into Hollywood, it's quite xenophobic here, and the cultural differences between the two sides are very big, no matter how popular you are in China, but you are unfamiliar with European and American countries, you came here, with your current qualifications and fame, you have no chance to be the heroine. You are participating in Brother Cheng Long's movie, you might as well take a closer look, am I right? ”

"As a Chinese director, I also have some resources in Hollywood, and I have tried my best to arrange Chinese actors into my films, but unfortunately, so far, no real actress can meet the requirements of the heroine, and I am always responsible for the box office."

"If you insist, I can help you get important roles in Hollywood commercial productions, the most important role is the first supporting actress, or even the leading actress, which has two possibilities, make you a blockbuster, or never enter the Hollywood market again, and at the same time, it will also make you lose the domestic market, we all understand that the metabolism of this industry is very fast."

"According to my judgment, if you are patient, in four to five years at most, Hollywood studios will come to China to find you, as long as you are popular enough, well-known enough, and strong enough in China. I have already done the best demonstration for them, and there will be more and more studios to follow, and there will be more and more opportunities. After the formal interview, Wu Chen specially invited Fa Ge and Zhang Ziyi to tea, he knew what the purpose of this beauty was, and he simply laid out two paths.

Either you participate in the commercial production of a Hollywood film company and play the heroine in one step, this kind of face is easy for Wu Chen, as long as you say a word, no company or director dares not to give face.

Either you go back to Huaxia to hone your acting skills, accumulate enough popularity and fame, and when the major Hollywood film companies march to Huaxia, you can not only get the opportunity, but also the opportunity to play the heroine.

With Wu Chen's current identity and status, what he says will never be untargeted, and the credibility is very high, but Zhang Ziyi, who has always been confident in himself, is hesitating how to choose, which is related to a person's future, and Fa Ge is not good at talking casually.

But he knew in his heart that Wu Chen obviously did not approve of Zhang Ziyi's development in Hollywood, because in the future, Hollywood's focus will be biased towards the Asia-Pacific market, especially the Chinese market.

"Director, I agree with your judgment and decide to put your career in China." Zhang Ziyi said with a smile. She is still a very smart girl, and she accepted the path planned by Wu Chen very sensibly, and from this point of view, success is not accidental.

Wu Chen is also a landlord, so naturally he wants to make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, he set up a table of authentic Chinese dishes in his restaurant, invited Fa Ge, Li Press and Zhang Ziyi to have a meal, and also celebrated the Chinese crew won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and then took a special plane to Trivandhapuram, the capital of Indu, Kerala. The "Ouchi Guards" of the personal guard, as well as six personal secretaries, naturally came with them.

There are almost no people in a radius of a few hundred meters near the temple, and the believers are forbidden to enter the temple during the filming of the crew, except for a few special administrators, there are two traffic policemen at the intersection, and there are not even ordinary policemen, and the alert level is simply zero!

According to his memory, this huge wealth that shocked the world will not be unveiled until ten years later, and now no one knows that the secret room of this temple actually hides tens of billions of dollars worth of gold and jewelry! What circulates outside is at most some ethereal legends, and it is normal for the local government to not set up a security force.
