I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 386 Chinese Movies Going Out
"The Jingjue Ancient Country, a historical legend submerged in the yellow sand, no one can be sure of its existence..." Accompanied by the voice of the narration, several close-up shots flashed quickly, and a group of people walked on the desolate desert.

Then there are a few quick close-ups of the shots. As a book fan, Zhou He immediately recognized the plot of these clips, the ladybug that can spontaneously ignite in Kunlun Mountain, the nine-story demon tower, the Kwantung Army fortress in Niuxin Mountain, and the big red-haired rice dumpling.Then there are scenes with a few lines, desert marching ants, weird snakes, spreading to flowers, and bottomless ghost holes.

Starring Li He, Wang Ou, and Jiang Chao, directed by Lu Yang Wuershan, it will be released nationwide on April NO.30.The short preview of just over one minute has completely burned Zhou He. Looking at the scenes and special effects in the trailer, the effect is very good, and Zhou He can't wait.

After watching the trailer, Zhou He looked at the comments below. Most of the netizens were expecting it, and a few netizens were worried that the film would be smashed, and there were still a few sunspots.

"Wow, I'm so looking forward to it. I really hope that April NO.30 will come soon. I'm going to the cinema to support this movie."

"The special effects also look good. In the previous interview, the director said that the filming was done according to the standards of Hollywood special effects blockbusters. When the time comes, he must go to the theater to support it."

"It's only fun to go to an IMAX theater for such a movie. I'm ready to watch it twice."

"Three times I..."

"The trailer is good, but I'm afraid that the essence is in the trailer, but it's not a fart in reality."

"The Chinese version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? I think it's another version of "Nine-story Demon Tower", right?"

"Li's half bucket of water looks like this..."

"Idiot fans, can you have some brains? What good movies can Huaxia have?"

Zhou He looked at the comment area with relish, he would refute discordant comments, and like the satisfactory ones.After watching the video for a while, Zhou He fell asleep. In his dream, he came to a world called Blue Star and became a superstar with the songs from Earth. Countless fans from the audience came to his concert.

At this time, when he ordered a song, he clicked on a fan, that fan was Jay Chou, and Jay Chou wanted to sing his own original "Snail". Shocked and angry, Zhou He immediately rushed off the stage, beating the fan half to death...

The stunning appearance of "The Ancient City" made the fans' eyes shine, and at this time, Warner Pictures, which had been fortunate enough to watch the semi-finished film, could no longer restrain it.

"That's great, Ms. Pan, this is the best Chinese commercial adventure movie I've ever watched. The distribution rights in Europe and the United States must be handed over to Warner Pictures." The senior vice president of Warner Pictures, who came to the trial meeting, said excitedly. Pan Li said.

"Mr. Doug, don't get excited. We still have some terms to discuss. Sit down first." Pan Li signaled Doug Liman to stay calm.

Doug Liman sat down and was still full of praise for the film: "Although it is only the first-cut version, the film is already very good. I believe this film will cause a discussion in the West in the ancient civilizations of the East. Please give it to We distribute it at Warner Bros."

Although she cooperates closely with Warner Pictures, Pan Li must be cautious when it comes to overseas distribution. On a larger scale, this is an important step for Chinese-language films to go abroad.Although the Huaxia market is large, the competition is also quite fierce. In the era of influx of capital and hot money, new players join this battlefield every day.

Although the market continues to expand, it can't stand too many players joining in, resulting in not enough cakes.Under such circumstances, there are two choices. The first is to continue to make the cake bigger, but with so many companies, even if the cake gets bigger, you may not be able to grab the biggest share.The other is to open up new markets and make new cakes.

Huali Film and Television chose the second option, aiming at cakes in overseas markets.If ordinary film companies are targeting overseas markets, they will probably make people laugh out loud if they say it. Even the National Teacher has repeatedly hit the wall in the past few years. Who can make a difference overseas?

What Hualian Film and Television is confident about is that it has a trump card in its hand that is better than the national teacher, and that is Li He.Li He is the only Golden Globe award winner in China, starring in two Hollywood films, among which "La La Land" has a global box office of more than [-] million US dollars, becoming the fourth Hollywood hit after Bruce Lee, Cheng Long and Li Lianlian Some well-known Chinese stars.

Unlike the three predecessors who relied on kung fu, Lee Hyuk I took the path of a traditional actor, that is, relying on his works and acting skills, as well as his appearance that is suitable for both aesthetics and aesthetics.A Chinese film starring Li Hyuk can achieve unexpected results overseas, as evidenced by last year's "Wolf Warrior 2".

At the beginning of the year, Huali Film and Television and Bona Pictures jointly launched an agreement on share exchange with Da Mi Mi Studio.As Li He's most steadfast partner, the two companies hope to tie up Li He's cash cow, and they will not hesitate to pay real money for the shares.However, this is destined to be a long negotiation process. After all, Da Mi Mi Studio holds many copyrights and resources, and the value is not small.

What is certain is that once the share exchange is completed, Li He and Da Mimi will become the major shareholders of Bona Film and Huali Film and Television, join the board of directors, and become the top leaders in the industry.

However, this process is not destined to be easy. I heard that Penguin Pictures will also participate in the negotiation of this share exchange. There is still a big deal.

Far away, in short, under the pressure of Disney these years, Warner Pictures had to find another way. The failure of the DC universe has no longer allowed Warner Pictures to be presumptuous.So this time they took aim at "Ghost Blowing Lantern Series".

In fact, no one can say for sure about the prospect of "The Ancient City of Essence" in the western market. After all, anything can happen before it is released, but the film industry is a gamble. afford it.Another important reason is that other Hollywood companies are eager to make a move. Sony Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Paramount Pictures are all interested in this super big project from China.

It can be said that apart from Disney, which is in full swing, and Fox Films, which cannot protect itself, the eyes of all Hollywood are focused on China.This is not an exaggeration at all. After all, no one will be troubled by money. The film company is not a charity. The primary purpose is to make money. Before there is no clear political trend to stop it, the Huaxia market is a delicious cake. Anyone wants to bite Take a sip.

Negotiations with Huahua Film and Television are progressing slowly, but Doug Liman has seen the Spring Festival schedule with Chinese characteristics.When the global film market was in low season in January and February, the Chinese film market was surging, and the annual Spring Festival stalls were about to compete.

Many professional western filmmakers are very interested in this special schedule of Huaxia, and have done research on it. This is a rare spectacle in the history of world film, because even the highly competitive summer schedule is not as exciting as the Spring Festival schedule. nervous.

Doug Liman is no exception. He has written two reports, which are specifically aimed at the phenomenon of the Chinese New Year.
