Chapter 433: They should be the bad guys, and we will do the good guys

In addition to actors, is there only Zhang Sheng who has gone abroad?

Apparently not!

Directors such as Jiang Bin and Zhang Wen are also very famous in the international film circle.

In addition, there are many domestic photographers and art directors who are also highly well-known in the world.

Jiang Bin's words actually mean the same thing: the only Chinese film that really goes abroad and goes international is Zhang Sheng, a filmmaker.

Of course, this is actually a bit flattering and biased.

If it's just about the box office, or influence, then that's the case.

Kung fu movies that can be exported to Xiangjiang movies are also very good abroad.

It has a loyal fan base.

It's just that the group isn't very large.

Those who don't have a lot of investment and a good box office are not considered going abroad?

"When are you going to Hollywood?"

Jiang Bin suddenly asked Zhang Sheng.

The others looked at Zhang Sheng with a surprised expression, and some couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Sheng is now one of the leading figures in Chinese films.

What would it be if he went to Hollywood?

Chinese movies are indeed inferior to Hollywood, but such a leading figure is still running towards Hollywood, so the impact is not very good.

Li Zhenguo, Fang Long and others went to Hollywood, because the mainland film market did not rise, and Xiangjiang films declined.

They can only go to Hollywood.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

But now it's different!

Chinese films are booming, haven't you seen that many filmmakers in Hollywood such as Fang Long have chosen to return to China?

People like Zhang Sheng should stay in China and go international with Chinese films.

And Zhang Sheng is undoubtedly the best candidate to bring Chinese films to the world.

And he's done a good job with that.

But if I went to Hollywood

"Haven't thought about it yet!" Zhang Sheng said, "There are also two voices in the company. One is to acquire a Hollywood company with distribution channels, and the other is to take a stake in Lion King Pictures. ”

When Zhang Guohua and the others heard this, they were stunned.

Where is this Zhang Sheng going to Hollywood, this is Changsheng Entertainment going to Hollywood!

However, it seems understandable to think about it.

The development of Changsheng Entertainment in China has basically fallen into a bottleneck.

Then it is logical to go to Hollywood.

After all, Hollywood movies are aimed at the global film market.

Once Changsheng Entertainment goes to Hollywood and gains a firm foothold, it will also mean that Changsheng Entertainment will go international.

Domestic film and television companies and Hollywood film and television companies, where is it easier to become an international film and television company?

Undoubtedly.

Changsheng Entertainment wants to develop in Hollywood, that is, it wants to jump out of the domestic framework restrictions and want the world's top film and television companies.

Is it difficult?

Naturally difficult.

Is it possible?

If it is difficult for other people to say, but Zhang Sheng's words, it is really possible.

However, Zhang Guohua and others did not ask much.

The same goes for Jiang Bin.

How to do Changsheng Entertainment, that involves some of the company's layout.

Whether it is to acquire a Hollywood film and television company like Penglai Group, or to try to buy some shares of Lion King Pictures from Penglai Film and Television, there are difficulties and disadvantages in each.

"Kung Fu Panda" swept the world and became the most dazzling movie in the summer file.

This is true not only at home, but also abroad.

The Hollywood blockbusters that were released were all suppressed by this movie.

Whether it's box office or popularity.

A Chinese-language animated film swept the world and became the highest-grossing film in the world this summer.

At the beginning of September, the film was drawn around the world.

In the past two months since its release in China, the cumulative box office has exceeded 4 billion.

Ranked fourth in the domestic box office list.

The box office is not as good as "Nezha", but it is also very amazing.

The North American box office broke $300 million.

Countries and regions other than North America won more than $400 million at the box office.

Another Chinese-language film that broke a billion dollars at the box office.

The global box office is nearly twice as much as that of "Nezha".

But the film isn't just profitable at the box office.

The movie peripherals sell well all over the world and are very profitable.

"Marriage is imminent, still coming to the company?" Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Qi and said, "Do you still want to go to work?" ”

Yang Qi and his girlfriend got married at the end of September, but Zhang Sheng met him at the company from time to time.

"It's nothing, just come to the company to have a look." Yang Qi smiled and said.

He is now not only an animated film director, but also one of the heads of the animation department of Changsheng Entertainment.

However, he doesn't just need to be on duty like the other leaders.

"That's right!" Zhang Sheng said, "What are your thoughts on the next movie? ”

"Thoughts?" Yang Qi paused for a moment and said, "Director Zhang, let's give me two more movies to practice my skills, right?" I still have a lot to offer. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Sheng nodded, he naturally understood what Yang Qi meant.

"If you have any ideas, you can communicate with the screenwriting department." Zhang Sheng said, "When you think it's okay, you can test the water first." ”

"Good!"

Yang Qi nodded and said.

Zhang Sheng is still very clear about his ability.

However, he is not without his shortcomings.

For example, the screenwriter above.

In addition to animated films, Changsheng Entertainment's animation department is actually producing animated films.

"Joyful and Big Big Wolf" is now about to be broadcast, whether it will be as popular as the original version, Zhang Sheng does not know.

However, the animation doesn't cost much.

If it is really popular all over the country, you can also make a lot of money around the movie.

In addition, "Bear Infested" is also in the works.

Compared to animated films, these cartoons are much less expensive to produce.

Of course, these cartoons are not written by Zhang Sheng, but by the screenwriting department.

Zhang Sheng just came up with an idea.

What will be done in the next animated movie, Zhang Sheng hasn't thought about it yet.

However, to participate in the investment of two more promising animated films.

It's just not a lot of investment.

Compared with "Kung Fu Panda", it is not a fraction.

"Kung Fu Panda 2 will not be filmed for the time being?" Yang Qi asked.

Is there a second part?

Does this need to be asked?

has dug a pit, and the box office is so explosive

All right.

Yes, yes, there is, the question is just when to shoot.

"Wolf Warrior 2" has passed for so long, and I haven't seen any movement in "Wolf Warrior 3".

Netizens are called "lifetime".

"Kung Fu Panda" shouldn't be, right?

After all, this movie is more profitable than the "Wolf Warrior" series.

Not just the box office, but also the movie peripherals.

"No hurry!" Zhang Sheng said, "The influence of the film has not yet reached the extreme. ”

The film has just been drawn, and then it has landed on major video websites around the world.

Then the number of people who have seen this movie will naturally increase.

The same goes for those who liked the movie.

Those who didn't watch the first part in the theater, if they like this movie, when the second part is released, they will naturally go to the theater to watch it.

Of course, Zhang Sheng is not in a hurry to shoot the second part, mainly because there are a lot of animations that can be filmed.

So what's next?

After chatting with Yang Qi for a few words, Zhang Sheng made a decision after some thought.

"Kung Fu Panda" was a big hit, and the movie was also very profitable, which made Zhang Sheng taste the sweetness.

So, in the next movie, he immediately thought of "Despicable Me"!

For no other reason, I just thought of "Minions".

The Minions have traveled all over the place, and he has bought them in his previous life.

And it's still a series of movies.

If you add the "Minions" series, that's two.

And the box office is extremely good.

Is there a better alternative?

Who knows.

Zhang Sheng popped up this movie in his mind, so he didn't think about it.

What if there is a better choice, just shoot it later.

The later stage of "Transformers" was methodical, and Zhang Sheng took the time to write the script of "Despicable Me", and then also got the character design and so on.

As in the previous two films.

As for the character image, Zhang Sheng did not change much.

A little lazy, of course, the main thing is that the original has been successful, so why take the risk of changing it?

"Are the characters Westerners?" Yang Qi was a little surprised and said, "Will it be difficult for domestic fans to accept it?" ”

"Kung Fu Panda" actually has some Hollywood routines in the story, and Westerners don't seem to have any problems.

And the movie style is strong in Chinese style.

Coupled with the title, it looks like a Chinese animated movie.

But what about this "Despicable Me"?

The story is also the same, Hollywood style.

It seems that it should be no difficult for fans at home and abroad.

However, the characters in it look like Westerners.

This is a Chinese-language animated movie.

Will it look nondescript when made?

I'm afraid that domestic fans will find it difficult to accept!

If someone has a heart to take advantage of this fart again, public opinion will guide it, I'm afraid it will be bad for the film!

To please Western fans, it is naturally easy to attract dissatisfaction from domestic fans.

What age, still from the outside.

"Three little kids, no!" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Sheng suspiciously.

The three children do not look like Westerners, not to mention the image of Chinese, but they should also be the image of Orientals.

But the protagonist and other characters in it are all Westerners!

You are not afraid of domestic fans boycotting our movie.

"Let the bad guys be them, and we will do the good guys, what can domestic fans say?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

When Yang Qi heard it, he was there.

Whether the three children in the original version are Westerners or Orientals, in fact, no one can tell the difference.

Maybe there are some.

Easterners seem to be Orientals, and Westerners seem to be Westerners, each is different.

Perhaps this is also intentional when the characters are designed.

Zhang Sheng didn't do anything to change, and there was no need to make the character look more like an Oriental.

However, even so, this is a Chinese animation, so preconceived, domestic fans subconsciously think that they are Chinese.

And what about Western movie fans?

Perhaps, because their other characters are like the West, they subconsciously think that the three children are also Westerners.

"Then why is the child blonde?" Yang Qi couldn't help but ask.

He really didn't think those three children were Chinese before.

"In order to let fans in Europe and the United States subconsciously think that they are Westerners after watching it!" Zhang Sheng said.

Yang Qi:.

He was a little mistaken, and then suddenly he was surprised.

It's just an animated film, and it's a film for the whole world.

Is the character Western, or Oriental, is it really that important?

Those who are picky may be able to set off a topic and increase the popularity of the movie!
