Su Changqing is the patriarch of Siwei, and as soon as he came back, No. 16 Lotus Hutong suddenly became lively.

Both Ximen Xiong and Liu Yufei stayed in Tokyo and never returned, and the two were regent and presided over daily affairs in Kanno.

People who are familiar with each other have asked, expressing their thoughts, the atmosphere is completely different from that of Japanese companies, and Su Changqing feels quite warm.

Du Keke took Mu Mu and Hu Jun and other main creators to run outside for a month, missed the four-dimensional meeting, and still didn't understand Su Changqing's acquisition of the Japanese Entertainment Society: "Japanese movies are too niche, and there is no market for TV dramas, why buy their entertainment club, it is better to buy a small Hollywood company with this money." ”

The general direction of this idea is correct, since you want to take the road of internationalization, it is better to go straight to Hollywood.

However, there is a problem with the operation, 400 million yuan is less than 50 million US dollars at the exchange rate in '96, and the Hollywood production company that can be bought is probably just an empty shelf with a bit of history, and it is impossible to include a five-story building with a sound studio, two sets of film production equipment, a full set of post-production, and more than 200 cast and crew members who can be put to work immediately.

Hollywood's housing prices are unlikely to increase tenfold in the next decade, and the Kamino building alone will be worth two billion yuan in the future, which is a comprehensive investment to buy the Japanese economy.

Moreover, Hollywood lacks connections like Harumi Harumi Hachiman to help mediate, and it is impossible to allow Su Changqing to pay in two years.

Once you invest in Hollywood, I am afraid that you will not be able to hire an actor of Ken Takakura's level in the early days, and the salary of a first-line big name in that place is often tens of millions of dollars, which is equal to one-fifth of the company's value.

Films like "The Undertaker" have great potential to win awards, but they can only be shot in the East, and it is difficult for a Hollywood team to show their strengths, and it may even be ruined.

Maybe one day Su Changqing will occupy a place in Hollywood, but first he must accumulate enough fame and strength, and enter with the cultural genes that suit him.

In addition, Du Keke is not wrong to say that Japanese films are niche, Japanese films gradually declined at the end of the eighties, and the themes became more and more biased, and they have the same virtue as the six generations of Chinese directors.

The glory days of Japanese TV dramas have also passed, and the dramas are getting shorter and shorter, and a drama is usually only about ten episodes, and it is difficult to make money away from home.

In the 80s, many Japanese long dramas were introduced in China, and the reputation was very good, but the reason why they disappeared later was that the relationship deteriorated on the one hand, and the main thing was that it was not profitable.

According to the domestic broadcast habits, ten episodes will only be a week, and it will end before it heats up, who can stand it.

At the beginning of the 21st century, our relationship with South Korea was not very good, but one of the reasons why we introduced a large number of Korean dramas was that they were long enough, and the longer the better, with several episodes of more than 100 episodes.

I haven't seen him for a month, and after the experience of various stages, Mu Mu seems to have matured a lot and is more enlightening.

Su Changqing thought that he would feel guilty when he saw her, but he didn't.

Why should you feel guilty, Takakura senior said to be fearless.

Secretly changing the concept can barely comfort himself, he is still a little guilty that he has no guilt, so he further comforts himself: "I'm not as scummy as I imagined, and I still know right and wrong." ”

But it's just a matter of reasoning.

Mu Mu was a little reluctant that Su Changqing needed to film in Japan for a long time: "Why write a Japanese story, can't these things happen in China, and if it succeeds internationally in the future, wouldn't it be a cheap little devil." ”

This theme is really not easy to transplant, just like "Late Night Canteen", no matter how big the director and star, whoever transplants it will hit the street.

Of course, you can shoot Chinese-style late-night food stalls and barbecue stalls, and there must be many good stories, but it is impossible to transplant the essence of the original work, and it is difficult to arrange an uncle who has gone through vicissitudes to elegantly sell chicken soup for the soul, which is already a completely different creation.

The spirit of the two peoples is different, only Japanese culture exaggerates the beauty of death, and other peoples basically have no such hobby.

During the Edo period in Japan, there was a samurai named Tashiro Jinji who spent seven years writing a collection of Analects called "Hagakure Bunshu", which involved a large number of seppuku, revenge and a unique concept of death, revealing a strong worship of the beauty of death, which has profoundly influenced Japan for hundreds of years.

The fear of death is a human nature that is difficult for most civilizations in the world to face calmly, and Japan is a unique specimen of this issue, and such a story is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

As for who the film is, it's not much of a problem, Disney has made Kung Fu Panda and two versions of Mulan, and no one counts these as Chinese movies.

"The Undertaker" hangs four-dimensional, Beiying, and Kamino co-production, who invests in whom, not to mention that the director, screenwriter, photography and future music will all be Chinese, and there is no doubt about the belonging.

However, Mu Mu's question forced Su Changqing to think about a problem, this theme can arouse the audience's strong curiosity about the oriental death culture in Europe and the United States, and may have a strong box office appeal, but the audience in China and South Korea may not accept it, and even think that the Japanese pretend to bury the dead like a flower arrangement, which may not be pleased.

Su Changqing made this kind of literary film on the path of six generations of directors, the purpose is to win awards rather than make money, if China and South Korea spend a lot of effort to promote, and finally end up with a reputation that is not popular, then why bother?

Jia Zhangke later encountered a similar problem, making literary films and mixing well outside, he had to enter domestic theaters to prove himself, and the result was completely revealed.

The market is different, and the domestic film industry in the next 20 years will be dominated by comedy directors and actors, which is the most telling thing.

Su Changqing also exchanged views with Director Han on this issue, and he said that he was also thinking about it: "Xiao Young took his girlfriend to watch a movie on the weekend, and he originally entered the scene for Director Su's big name of stimulating the film, but after watching it all night, I am afraid that I will scold my mother." ”

Don't say anything, as soon as you say it, you're also thinking about how to have a virtue with the Japanese, this old fox.

After discussion, the two reached an agreement: it is better to accurately launch the film in the corresponding market, in addition to Japan, mainly in Europe and North America, and it is advisable to distribute video products in China, and whoever is interested will buy it.

In this way, it seems that there is no need for this film to cooperate with Beiying, which is probably the main reason why Director Han has been thinking about it and not saying anything.

However, Su Changqing doesn't think about it that way, he knows Director Han better than Director Han, and next year he will take Beiying to merge into Zhongying, clothes are not as good as newcomers, and you have to cultivate some old feelings.

"Changqing, do a good job, don't learn from some young directors, go out and get carried away, forgetting which soil to root in. ”

Director Han, you also work hard, and everyone makes progress together.

The ratings and word-of-mouth of "My Love from the Star" are bursting, and after one set of CCTV is released, it will be rebroadcast in two sets, and the popularity is still the same.

Mu Mu further consolidated his status as a popular front-line, Hu Jun also became popular, and Wu Jing and Wang Baoqiang also opened up considerable popularity.

Huang Bo and Huang Yang are tinkering with a new script, and when the time comes, they can bring Wang Baoqiang to shoot together, what will the others do next?

Du Keke tasted the sweetness: "Movies are not as interesting as TV series, you look at Hu Jun, a drama is a household name, Wu Whale and Wang Baoqiang are trying their best to make movies, and the box office has also broken records, and the fame is a little less meaningful, whether it is to make money or to win the role, TV series are more beneficial." ”

Mu Mu also put his arm around Su Changqing and asked, "What do you want me to do next?"

This action and expression were familiar, and Su Changqing finally felt a little guilty.

Money is not only the best carrier of feelings, but also the best medium for apologies, so start filming a new TV series and let people make up for it with more money and fame.
