China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 605: Clearly a Coward
As for those movies that achieve success through plot, performance, and art, even if 20 or 30 years have passed, you will still have a different taste when you watch them again, and they will always feel new.

However, Li Yu likes both types of movies.

Both films have their own meaning.

There is a phrase called "appreciation by both the refined and the vulgar". Vulgar things are easier to popularize. When people are exposed to vulgar things more and have higher spiritual pursuits, they will pursue elegance.

The more movies you watch, the more sophisticated your taste will become.

For example, some people who have several terabytes of classic movies stored on their hard drives will find that their requirements for movies in all aspects have become very high, and there are very few movies that can be collected on their hard drives, and they may not be able to find many in a year.

"Li Yu, if all superhero movies are like this, I feel like it's a step backward for you to make movies in Hollywood," Da Tiantian said again.

"You can rest assured that I won't keep making superhero movies. I definitely have higher artistic aspirations when I go to Hollywood to make movies.

It’s just that I just arrived there and I don’t have any achievements to show for myself, so when I put forward some good ideas, people will think I’m daydreaming and won’t believe me at all.”

Li Yu replied.

This society is so realistic.

Without success, no one will listen no matter how reasonable your words are.

As long as he is successful, if he says in public that he has no interest in money, there will be a lot of people who will believe him, and there will also be a large group of believers who will help him find various reasons why he really doesn't love money.

At the wrap party for "Aquaman" in Maple Leaf Country, Li Yu proposed to the senior management of Warner Bros. to make a dark movie with the Joker as the protagonist.

The other party’s attitude is that your idea is good and promising, but we can talk about the details later.

This situation will change after "Aquaman" is released.

By then, Li Yu will be able to gradually take the initiative.

As long as he can prove that he can make it in Hollywood, even if Warna is afraid of the risk and doesn't want to play with Li Yu, other film companies will do so.

There are eight big film companies there, so are you afraid that there won’t be anyone brave enough?
However, for Li Yu, Huana is still the top partner.

Because he really wants to make "Joker". It doesn't matter if the Oscars don't let him, a Chinese, win the award. He can still go for Venice.

If he didn't cooperate with Warner, Warner would definitely not let Li Yu shoot "Joker" because the copyright of the Joker belongs to DC.

Of course, if they really can't cooperate, they can just not shoot "Joker".

The branch of Hualiu Company has been established in the United States for so many years, and Li Yu’s money has not been spent in vain.

He holds the film and television copyrights of many classic novels, and he can still make a name for himself in Hollywood by making other films.

in the country, Li Yuming could have filmed "Operation Red Sea".

As long as he is willing, it would be easy and stress-free for him to snatch Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth".

If he really wanted to snatch it, he only needed to make a phone call to the CEO of China Film Corporation, and China Film Corporation would immediately replace Guo Fan without any hesitation.

Li Yu just didn't want to snatch some of the more significant masterpieces from Chinese directors.

Once he arrived in Hollywood, he would not be lenient when copying foreign directors.

……

At the end of June, "Wonder Woman" earned 6 million yuan in the domestic market.

The film's global box office is 6.53 million US dollars.

The domestic market share is less than one-sixth of the global market share, and the largest film warehouse is still the North American market and overseas markets outside North America. This is why Warner Bros. chose Li Yu to direct "Aquaman".

Although both are superhero movies, DC's movies are far less popular than Manwei in the domestic market, which has huge potential.

They are so envious of Man Wei because he can make a lot of money in China with every movie he makes.

After entering July, the movie "Aquaman" began to warm up globally, and the publicity in China began to increase.

In order to achieve a breakthrough in the domestic market, Huana has shown its sincerity to domestic movie fans this time.

They announced that Aquaman will premiere in China, but it will be released a little later in the United States.

As soon as the news came out, domestic movie fans were excited.

"6666, Director Li is so impressive. Aquaman premiered in China. Hua Na has given Director Li and domestic fans enough face this time."

"As an old DC fan, I hope that this Aquaman will not disappoint everyone, and must continue the success of Wonder Woman and achieve the goal of surpassing the slow-moving Marvel as soon as possible."

"You're dreaming. You're still thinking about overtaking Man Wei. I just want to ask you, when will your movie universe be built? Once the movie universe is built, then we can talk about overtaking."

The fans of DC and Manwei are very interesting, they often pull each other down.

People who like DC movies think that DC's superhero movies are the ceiling of superheroes, and that DC's superhero movies are all popcorn movies for children.

People who like DC's movies think that DC's superhero movies are the best. They often use a phrase to refute DC fans: since DC is the ceiling of superheroes, then where is DC's movie universe? Is it as strong as DC's movie universe?
The two sides often quarreled until they were red in the face, and neither could convince the other. They had been arguing for many years, but no one was victorious.

Li Yu thought these people were boring.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. As audiences who spend money to buy movie tickets, is it really necessary to argue over the two film companies?

No matter how great a film company is, there will be times when it makes a bad movie.

Just be a fan who appreciates movies, not a fan of the film company. Watch good movies and don't watch bad ones. Isn't that good?

Some people in the circle who are on good terms with Li Yu also said after watching Huana’s promotion that Huana was giving Li Yu face by actually arranging for the movie to premiere in China.

Li Yu’s answer was, forget it.

Propaganda is always propaganda, and propaganda always sounds good.

Warna would never tell them that "Aquaman" premiered in China first and was delayed in the United States because they were cowards.

On July 7, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was released in the United States.

Also in July, "Deadpool vs. Wolverine" was released in the United States.

This is the main reason why Warner delayed the release of "Aquaman" in the United States.

They are very cunning. Their plan is to create a time difference. When these two movies are released in the United States, Aquaman will be released in China.

It will take a week or two for these two movies to be released in China. The strong period of these two movies in the US film market has passed, and the release of "Aquaman" is more secure.

It is undeniable that Huana does attach great importance to Chinese fans this time, but this can only be regarded as a secondary reason.

If they hadn't encountered two strong competitors in the US market, they would not have delayed the release date.

To put it bluntly, they were clearly cowardly, yet they still used this incident for publicity and marketing, saying that they were doing it for the fans.

Of course, this marketing method is a basic operation, and everyone does it this way, so there is nothing wrong with it.
