Chapter 1261: Anger
"The most important thing is that Wang Qun really angered Lao Bai this time."
On the golf course, after Zhou An slammed a ball, he turned his head and smiled slightly: "In fact, no matter how many times before, people only regarded Wang Dayan staring at you as an insignificant little mosquito, and they didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but this time, those people touched Lao Bai's taboo." “
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Runqing quickly reacted: "Taboo? Is it Hero? ”
Everyone knows that Lao Bai attaches great importance to "Hero".
There has never been a movie that can make PRC Lao Bai release various promotions so frequently before its release, and there has never been a movie of Lao Bai with such a huge number of films and publicity resources as "Hero". Therefore, whether it is the Forbidden City, Lotus, or other companies that have cooperated with Lao Bai, they all know the little Jiujiu in the heart of this great god.
The essence of "Hero" is still a martial arts movie!
This is a theme created by Lao Bai's song and gradually pushed to its peak. In addition to the fact that online and physical publishing is now gaining popularity, and adaptations of animation and games are also starting to take off, martial arts are now becoming more and more popular on the small screen. From those IPs that everyone stared at Lao Bai a few years ago, to now, the works of other martial arts authors have also begun to receive great attention and popularity, and the rise of martial arts TV series is so fast that people tremble!
But in the field of movies, there really isn't any hit.
The most classic and the most beautiful is still "Dragon Gate Inn" a few years ago. Although there are many filmmakers who try to make martial arts movies later, and they are getting better and better, it seems that there are always a few breaths to catch up with the classics directed by Lao Bai himself......
The one with the highest box office is only almost the same as "Dragon Gate Inn" that year.
Yes, it's almost a draw, it's still a little bit short.
So after the filming of "Hero" started, I don't know how many filmmakers have been staring at Lao Bai and the results of "Hero" when it is released in the future - not only because many people are very interested in martial arts and want to see the hero world in the hearts of the originators of martial arts, but also some filmmakers who think more and go deeper are silently paying attention to the potential of martial arts on the big screen!
The limitations of martial arts movies, they have discovered.
Or they haven't found a particularly good way to make martial arts have the same level of expressiveness on the big screen as other types of commercial blockbusters - scenes, special effects, and so on. And Sun Peng's "Hero" has a huge investment, and the trailer shows shocking scenes that are no less than other costume masterpieces, which has naturally become the focus of attention of many filmmakers.
So strictly speaking, "Hero" is another attempt at martial arts.
And whether martial arts is successful after combining with the most mature type of movies in China is not only related to the future of martial arts movies, but also related to another more heavyweight film genre in the eyes of some people - the future of costume blockbusters that swept the world a few years ago!
So as soon as Zhou An said it, Gao Runqing immediately thought of "Hero".
Merely......
"No, it's 'Mulan' and 'Hero'!"
Shaking his head, Zhou An leaned on the club and smiled: "Except for "Hero", those people underestimate the importance of this cartoon in Lao Bai's mind...... Hehe, if it was just an ordinary cartoon, Lao Bai would invest 200 million dollars to produce and promote? Even if there is a certain amount of moisture in it, there will always be one billion Huaxia coins! ”
When he said this, Zhou An's eyes were full of indescribable sarcasm.
Some mosquitoes or flies just don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they used to buzz next to people's ears and say that they were okay, and they always felt that people had a high degree of patience, so that they mistakenly thought that they would not be in danger even if they fell on other people's faces - at this time, who would have a good temper and not give it a slap?
Others don't know the status of "Mulan", as the helmsman of Lotus Pictures, can Zhou An not know?
Not to mention the investment in production costs of more than 100 million US dollars, DreamWorks has even spent nearly 100 million US dollars on publicity and distribution costs, and the overseas market alone is not less than 50 million! And as one of the distributors, after Zhou An watched the finished film of "Mulan", he has completely understood the ambition of DreamWorks, or Lao Bai's ambition!
To put it bluntly, "Mulan" is the pinnacle of Chinese animation.
If you want to discuss the plot alone, there are really many better than "Mulan" in Chinese history, even in terms of soundtrack, dubbing or other production, there are many domestic animations that are better than "Mulan", but in terms of the fineness of the animation and the quality of the picture, "Mulan" has shown a crushing trend for any Chinese animation!
Even compared with other Hollywood productions, it's really not much worse.
"And more importantly, Lao Bai is as good as ever in storytelling!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou An's expression contained admiration: "For Chinese audiences, "Mulan" may be a joke version of a traditional story, haha, it almost completely reproduces the scene in "Mulanci"; But for audiences in Europe and the United States, it doesn't matter if they don't know the existence of "Mulan", because the story of the animation itself is very complete and very easy to understand...... Well, that's a long way off. ”
When he said this, Zhou An suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "This person is old, and it is easy to deviate when he thinks about it."
The important thing about "Hero" is not the costume blockbuster, but the martial arts culture, as well as the possibility of him and Huaxia's most influential film genre overseas; And "Mulan" may show a possibility to Chinese animators: Chinese people can do their own animated blockbusters, and they are also Hollywood-level animated blockbusters!
Such two movies, not to mention Sun Peng himself, many bigwigs in the Chinese film industry are paying attention to it!
For example, Zhou An and Fang Lanshen, even if these two films have nothing to do with them, the Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures will definitely not stumble on them and make trouble, because the success of the two films can point out a path for these film giants!
Will you try it in the future and boldly throw money into it?
So thinking of the guys who are jumping up and down these days, the sarcasm in Zhou An's eyes is even stronger: "So, do you think Lao Bai will tolerate them to continue to talk like this?" Even if the impact is not great, it is disgusting after all, isn't it? ”
After thinking about what Zhou An said, Gao Runqing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again: "Hmm...... So why Wang Dayan? ”
"Hehe, because he's the most annoying!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Anle said: "This guy doesn't know what drugs for insanity he has taken, and he has been smearing Lao Bai for the past few years, why don't people target him?" Hehe, a paparazzi, it's just a little bigger, I really think I can sing against the big guys in the industry every day! ”
“……”
Paparazzi?
After listening to Zhou An's words, Gao Runqing was speechless.
Well, Wang Dayan, who is a headache in the eyes of small and medium-sized companies, stares at you, but it turns out that in the eyes of the big guys, he is just an ordinary paparazzi?
"Alright, let's stop talking about that."
It seemed that he also found this topic boring, Zhou An smiled: "Since Lao Bai decided to clean him up, the result has been doomed, there is no need to pay attention to this matter." Kodaka, let's talk about the specific plans for Terminator 2......"
