director of the millennium

[Misty Theater] was so popular in Asia that even Wu Yuan, who was far away in North America, got the news first.

This incident was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, because it was something that had never happened even in his dreams.

Whether it is "Day and Night Chase" or "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes" or the yet-to-be-released "Forensic Qin Ming", these works all existed in the original time and space, but Wu Yuan has never heard of these works receiving good responses overseas.

After careful consideration, Wu Yuan believed that this should be the role of the platform.

If it weren't for Guangying Kuaibo's market share in Asia, these two self-produced suspense crime dramas would not have become so popular in many Asian markets.

Although many people say that domestic dramas are not good, of low quality, and cannot compare to Japanese, Korean, and American dramas.

But in fact, this statement is incorrect. Perhaps most domestic TV dramas are indeed a bit vulgar, but it is undeniable that there are also excellent Chinese TV dramas.

Just like the Qiong Yao dramas that swept Southeast Asia in the past, the later Chinese fantasy dramas and campus dramas were popular in Southeast Asia.

In fact, Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar, has always had a tradition of watching Chinese TV dramas.

As far as Wu Yuan knows, the next few years will be a period of great success for mainland online dramas to go overseas.

Campus youth web dramas starring several young actors like Lin Yi and Shen Yue are very popular in Thailand. Even their external INS accounts have millions of followers. A random post can get tens of thousands of likes and a lot of comments and replies in Thai and English.

This popularity and influence are just like the popularity of some Hollywood movie stars in China, both of which are well-known.

The fantasy dramas that are popular in China in the next few years will also be very popular in Southeast Asia. The first to be affected is Vietnam. Vietnamese audiences love to watch Chinese fantasy films. After all, it is Little China.

Even Koreans have been influenced by some domestic fantasy dramas and have copied China's classical costumes, or more precisely, the modified Hanfu that is commonly seen in fantasy TV dramas, and used them in their own Korean costume dramas.

Before the popularity of Chinese fantasy costume dramas, the male and female actors in Korean costume dramas all wore the so-called "Hanbok" in "Dae Jang Geum", which was actually Ming Dynasty Hanfu with local characteristics.

But after the popularity of Chinese ancient costume fantasy dramas, some Korean costume dramas and fantasy dramas also learned the makeup and styling from those dramas, and learned the fairy-like modified Hanfu and exquisite jewelry.

Even the Korean crews, who have always believed that their TV dramas are the best in Asia and the world, have started to learn the makeup and styling of Chinese dramas, and even copied the plots of fantasy dramas, which shows that the influence of Chinese culture is growing.

The rise of Guangying Kuaibo has accelerated the invasion of this Chinese trend!
The only thing that Wu Yuan didn’t expect was that the first drama to become popular overseas would be a suspenseful criminal investigation drama!

But it makes sense. Asian countries like TV dramas of this type. Both Japan and South Korea have many excellent TV dramas of the same type. Southeast Asia has also been influenced by it. It is understandable that "Day and Night Chase" is so popular.

Wu Yuan also vaguely remembered that in that life in his dream, Netflix had taken the initiative to purchase the overseas copyright of "Daytime Chase" and put it on Netflix's global channel, which shows that this drama is indeed suitable for the overseas market.

After a brief surprise, he quickly accepted this good thing.

After all, Guangying Kuaibo has already started financing, and will definitely prepare for an IPO in the next three to five years. Although the company is not profitable at present, and even loses a lot of money every year, once it goes public, it will bring huge benefits to Wu Yuan. Apart from anything else, he cashed out a large sum of money in the first round of financing. Not only him, but also the company's senior executives who have shares have cashed out. Now everyone is a millionaire!
This is the Internet industry!

Although the company is not making money, the bosses are making a lot of money~
In order to increase the company's stock price after listing, it is obvious that the more famous Guangying Kuaibo is and the higher its market share in Asia, the better!

Wu Yuan encouraged Chen Dewei a lot on the phone, telling him to go ahead and do it boldly, strive to become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!

A few days later, after cooperating with Marvel to record and produce some promotional materials and watching the final trailer, Wu Yuan, who was very satisfied with it, finally met the other leading actors of "Doctor Strange" in Los Angeles.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor (Baron Mordo), Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen and Benedict Wong gathered at the Marvel Studios headquarters in Los Angeles.

They will be the main creators appearing in several premieres of "Doctor Strange" this time, and will cooperate with Wu Yuan to attend the premieres of "Doctor Strange" in Shanghai, Los Angeles and London.

Of course, there is also Mr. Wang Xueqi who plays the Ancient One, but he does not need to come to Los Angeles. He just needs to wait for everyone to arrive in Shanghai. After the premiere in Shanghai is over, he will return to Los Angeles with them to attend the North American premiere.

"Mr. Daniel, long time no see." Benedict Cumberbatch spoke in an elegant London accent and greeted Wu Yuan with a subtle smile.

Not only him, when Wu Yuan arrived at Marvel Studios to meet everyone, every main actor and actress enthusiastically chatted with him.

Well, all I hear is the British English accent.

During the filming of "Doctor Strange", the most useful thing Wu Yuan learned was not improving his shooting and directing skills. After all, "Doctor Strange" was not difficult or challenging for him.

What Wu Yuan really learned was the "elegant" London accent.

The two main male protagonists are both British. Although Benedict Wong has an Asian face, he was born and raised in the UK and speaks fluent British English.

This gave Wu Yuan, who was used to listening to and speaking American English, a different experience.

After several months of filming, what he learned most was the differences between British English and American English, especially in vocabulary usage.

However, he has been living in an American English environment in Los Angeles during this period. When he suddenly hears Benedict Cumberbatch and Wong speaking in London accents, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

"It's been a long time." Wu Yuan smiled and hugged Benedict Cumberbatch, patted Wang on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. The movie will be released in the blink of an eye."

"It should be said that Marvel is professional enough and the post-production is fast enough." Producer Charles Nivos, who was standing nearby, interjected with some pride.

"You're right." Wu Yuan shrugged.

"Well, guys, it's time for us to get going!" (End of this chapter)
