This is called obsession!

In the past, this road was the exclusive right of the top domestic celebrities.

Only Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Jet Li, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi can play soy sauce in Hollywood!

From the perspective of the last century, "playing soy sauce" in Hollywood can provide actors with more exposure and a better resume, and it is also possible to embark on a Hollywood star journey...

But this time and that time.

Now there are countless people who can make soy sauce in Hollywood blockbusters, and many domestic actresses who are not first-line can also brush their faces in Hollywood blockbusters...

The reason is simple, the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for each other with Hollywood studios is getting stronger and stronger...

Many times, American filmmakers ask Chinese actors to star!

And then... More actors have appeared in Hollywood blockbusters...

Later, Jiang Wen's appearance in "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" was regarded as a decline!

It's normal to think, why do you say Chinese actors want to go to Hollywood?

For artistic achievement?

Obviously, it is not true, because most of the commercial films in which Chinese actors participate have pitiful scenes, and there is no room to play at all;

To make money?

This possibility is not non-existent, but it is not the main thing, after all, the actors who go to play soy sauce are either domestic superstars or the kings of popularity, and the domestic salary is not low;

That... Open up the international market and increase your visibility?

This is even more fantastical, at present, the market value of these actors is mainly in China, and they do not have appeal abroad at all...

What about the big Disney heroine!

Shen Xudong has been in the circle for almost ten years, and he actually understands many things!

Chinese stars entered Hollywood to participate in blockbusters, with the original intention of "gilding" themselves, increasing exposure, and accumulating popularity and traffic for themselves...

But traffic shouldn't be the only pursuit of actors, otherwise you can be an Internet celebrity or a "blanket star", and there is no need to engage in a "thankless" career like acting.

As an actor, you should have several masterpieces and representative roles, and this is something that soy sauce can't give you.

However, since Fan Xiaopang insisted on this, Shen Xudong happened to have "The Martian" in his hand, in which there was a female Chinese space agency official...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "30 million US dollars, a high-quality Hollywood production, I can arrange for you to invest and play a role!" ”

“… Quality? ”

"'The Martian,' directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon, is one of Warner's key projects next year!"

Fan Xiaopang immediately asked: "Then I am the protagonist?" ”

"It's not..."Shen Xudong shook his head: "You probably don't understand what high-quality resources are, the so-called high-quality is the key promotion, the meaning of global release... This kind of project can't have an Asian protagonist! ”

“… Then I'll think about it..."

"You think about it as soon as possible, and I will go to the United States next month to prepare for this project!"

Insert a sentence, "The Martian" is really well filmed, the main original work is well written - the original author Andy Weir, when he created this film, it was really 2011, the global honeymoon period has not faded, although the part is still not very safe, but the global mainstream public opinion generally believes that tomorrow will be better, director Ridley Scott did not use any subversive techniques when shooting this movie, whether it is editing or narrative techniques are very conventional and solid, that is, not screwed!

"The Martian", Shen Xudong won the copyright last year, and this year it was filmed at a cost of $90 million, Warner was the main control of investment and distribution, accounting for $50 million, and the remaining $40 million, Shen Xudong asked for it...

He originally planned to let Tianmei pay this money, but now, Fan Xiaopang is interested, so he will give her a 50% premium for the investment of 20 million US dollars...

To explain, the so-called premium investment means that the price is higher than the market price.

You see, "The Martian" director Ridley Scott, Hollywood's first-line director, and the producer, Warner Bros., is also one of the six Hollywood majors, isn't it rare to have such an investment opportunity?

A 50% premium is considered an introduction fee!

A 50% premium of $20 million is $30 million...

Of course, the difference in the middle belongs to Shen Xudong!

As for where Fan Xiaopang got $30 million, it's not his business!

If you want to enter Hollywood yourself, how can it be without paying a price?

It's not enough to just communicate with the arts!

……

"Why Sheng Xiaomo" is really a big IP, with a box office of 49.94 million on the first day, which directly interrupted the single-day box office championship of "Titanic 3D" for 22 consecutive days...

The next day, it went to the next level and got a box office of 57 million.

That's right, it broke 100 million in two days.

The box office on the third day was 48 million - the first day box office of "Super Battleship" was 18.01 million...

On the fourth day, that is, May 3, the single-day box office was 32 million;

On the fifth day, May 4th, the single-day box office collected another 31.7 million...

That's right, two hundred million in five days, and 218 million ...

The industry was directly speechless!

Everyone is promoting that Hao Laihu is coming - "Beijing News" and "Southern Metropolis Daily" even launched a column 'Chinese Films Against Hollywood: A Posture of Standing Even If You Die'...

swearing: Around May Day, three Hollywood super blockbusters landed in China, namely the 3D version of "Titanic", which is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan at the mainland box office, the sci-fi blockbuster "Super Battleship", the largest investment in Hollywood this year, and the superhero film "Avengers", which will be released simultaneously with North America on May 5...

In the face of the unshakable three giants of Hollywood, domestic films have not been silent. 5 domestic young Zhuang directors collectively brought new works to the competition, which was called the "death squad" in the industry. They are: Guan Hu, "Killing"; Wang Xiaoshuai, "Me 11"; Zhang Yang, "Flying Over the Old People's Home"; Yang Shupeng, "Piff"; Gao Feng, "Camel Guest".

And then various analyses of the reasons for the invincibility of Hollywood ...

Pessimistic...

Then, "Why Sheng Xiaomo" was 150 million in three days, beating "Super Battleship"...

It's too much, how do you make us media brag about Hollywood?

"Why Sheng Xiaomo" costs 35 million, of which the male and female protagonists are both nominal producers, and they each enjoy 5% box office dividends...

Originally, everyone thought that even if there was a TV series foundation, at most it would be similar to "Carry on Love to the End", with a box office of 200 million...

150 million in three days, 200 million in five days...

Slap in the face!

What's even more speechless is that the reputation of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" is not very good - Douban score 6.4 points, Time.com score 6.3 points...

Unanimous evaluation: The plot is too white, it can be seen that the adaptation has tried its best, but the effect is still a very jumpy MV romance...

But... It's a blockbuster!

Even on May 5th, "Avengers" was released, and the single-day box office of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" was 24 million...

Of course, the box office of "Avengers" on the first day was 62.18 million.

Marvel movies showed their power in China for the first time, and even if they collapsed later, Marvel is still a representative Hollywood commercial film with a stable global box office!

"Avengers" surpassed "Why Sheng Xiaomo", which relieved many media - Hollywood is really invincible!

So, a bunch of media came again: "Chinese films have collapsed across the board, are we just the gap between the film industry and Hollywood?" "Why are domestic films powerless to resist Hollywood? "Facing the Gap between Chinese and American Films..."

Riding a horse, where do you have so many reflections?
