Age of Dreams

It took two days before Cameron called Xiao Qi, sorry to explain why he didn't use the three of them, but Xiao Qi felt that he was insincere no matter how he listened. 【..】

Cameron didn't use Kai'Sa, Anna, or Scarlett, and it was not surprising.

The reason is simple. Since the first movie was scammed, Cameron is famous for doing things only by his own will, even if the copyright of "Terminator" is sold to the producer for $1-that is him. Later, his wife must also require himself to be a director and possess editing rights.

Now in the film industry, he is Xiao Qi in the smart electronics industry, so he doesn't need to care what others think.

Your investors want to find me to make a movie. The first is whether the script is good enough, the second is whether I have time, and the third is whether you can meet my requirements.

Xiao Qi can tell him to shoot "The Hunger Games", it has taken a lot of bargain, so in order to add luster to the Disney company, in order to make a big profit, Xiao Qi still let Cameron toss.

Speaking of it, the preparations for the filming of "The Hunger Games" are now no secret among Hollywood and movie fans.

A long time ago, after Xiao Qi signed "The Hunger Games", the first requirement was that the original author had to write all the trilogy within a year, and the second he did it himself was to spend 5 million US dollars. Various marketing and promotion in the network and bookstore channels have made many young people fall in love with this book.

Now when I heard that Cameron was going to shoot "The Hunger Games", and it was a not bad Disney investment, the young people were all overjoyed and extremely happy.

Because of Cameron’s name, I heard that Xiao Qi personally talked to Cameron about this movie. Many white-collar workers also became interested in "The Hunger Games". In the past few weeks, the Hunger Games The book has ushered in another peak in sales.

The previous "The Hunger Games" was so hyped by Lionsgate. In the end, this movie became so popular that many people in the industry were surprised.

In this life, Xiao Qi hopes that Cameron can once again make a jaw-dropping box office. At any rate, a single movie's global box office exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars, which is not weakening his reputation as the world's largest director!

Of course. With a global box office of 1 billion, Disney can get a net income of US$300 million to US$300 million. It is very fortunate to have a net profit of US$100 million after removing all expenses such as filming costs.

But the bulk of the income is not at the box office itself. The income of all peripheral products, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs can basically reach 2-3 times that of the movie box office. This part of the profit can be very high. Excluding all expenses, Disney can earn at least US$600-800 million.

Although this part of the income will be completed in the next two or three years, no one will refuse the long stream of profit income.

Entering the era of globalization of 3d and imax movies, and entering the era of deep film development, it is no longer possible to be like the early 1980s. The annual income of Sega Japan can exceed the sum of all Hollywood film companies!

Thinking of 3d and imax movies, Xiao Qi thinks of foreign special effects production companies. Without their technical efforts, even if 3D and imax movies were made, audiences would actually not buy it, right?

In fact. In the United States, 3d movies did not start in "Avatar". As early as the 19th century, 3D technology was invented, and Hollywood had a boom in 3D movies in the 50s and 80s.

But the problem is that the 3d movie itself does not have much advantage. Only with the shocking scenes of special effects, 3d will be more attractive-for example, a movie like "Jurassic Park", plus 3d and imax, then It will be truly prosperous for a long time.

China has no mechanical film culture, such as American hero movies, Transformers, and so on. It has never been popular in China, or it cannot become mainstream.

The most popular ones here are Wuxia and Xianxia. This is in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people.

But now, Wuxia and Xianxia have long been lonely, and they have been beaten by Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

But many people have thought that these martial arts and immortals can also use 3d and imax technology to reflect the lively fighting scenes depicted, so as to obtain a good viewing effect, and thus become popular again.

However, such a job cannot be completed overnight. Early decisive losses and constant failures are all very natural things. It takes patience and perseverance to rebirth.

However, it is a pity that Chinese filmmakers have committed the same fault as Hong Kong filmmakers, that is, short-sighted, eager for success, and impatient.

Even in the next few years, the big screens will still be filled with uninspired and unintentional movies. Even if there is a little flash, they are only dramas and comedies, and there is no way to see China. Where is the future of movies.

Of course, it does not mean that Chinese films have to learn from the United States and do that kind of special effects scenes, but if you don't even try your own way, how can you expect success if you don't do it?

On this point, Xiao Qi appreciates Xu Ke. From the legend of the Shushan chivalrous man from ten or twenty years ago to the present, he has always been the pioneer and explorer of special effects in the Chinese film industry. Even after going north, he also tried Incorporate 3d and special effects into your own movies.

Although it may not be successful, his active exploration spirit is still commendable.

If there are more people like Xu Ke in the Hong Kong film scene, it will not be as miserable as it is now.

Well, let's give an example.

After 2010, Hong Kong's largest original Broadway theater line had only 11 cinemas and more than 50 screens.

What is the gap compared with the big theaters that were stunned in the 1980s and 1990s?

China has the broadest market, of course, it is impossible to end up like Hong Kong, but the trend in the future is that Hollywood movies will occupy more than 60% of China's box office, while the local box office is only 40%!

This is still the result of a limit on the number of imported films and a protection month for domestic films. If you open it up to allow American films to come in, Chinese films can have 20% of the box office, and you should be laughing.

The domineering word sweeping the world used in Hollywood is no joke!

Thinking that way, Xiao Qi still lacks some enthusiasm and interest in movies, let alone any professional knowledge.

So the best he can do is to control Disney and Marvel, so that these movies can become his own weapons and plunder wealth all over the world.

Xiao Qi is also a little embarrassed to use a culture that does not belong to his own country to make money and occupy the market, but who makes domestic films not very competitive?

Speaking of this, in fact, the queen sister also thought of it.

When Xiao Qi went to the capital last time, she told her husband that she was going to buy the world's second largest special effects production company-the digital field, and then take more pictures of Chinese people to learn, so that they can get them in the future. Come to make wonderful special effects movies in your own country.

Among other things, the Tomb Raider movies that have emerged in the past two years have a bit of a taste. If you use special effects to express it, it should be a very good concept.

In addition, Qiao Guoer also thinks that things that belong to Chinese movies cannot be lost.

Just like Japanese movies, apart from horror films, basically only cartoons can be used. They are still constantly exploring and researching and continuing to develop and grow cartoons. They have gradually become a unique symbol of Japanese film culture. , And gradually become famous in the world.

Huaguo also has its own special movies, which are romantic comedies that fit our national conditions. Starting from Feng Yanya's movies to Ning Hao, who has emerged in recent years, their movies have their own characteristics and are deeply loved by everyone.

In addition, a group of directors who are still young in Hong Kong have a good grasp of ancient dramas and action movies. Therefore, the market is still developing in recent years.

Kiwi Film and Television has been discussing with Xu Ke, wanting him to supervise and direct several ancient detective films, which is different from the recently directed "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", which is a film that relies more on special effects.

Xu Ke heard that Qiao Guoer supported him to innovate as much as he could in technology, and the funds would not be restricted. He was very happy. After the contract with Baoyu was basically set, he came to shoot his favorite ancient action blockbuster. .

In addition, Xiao Qi also suggested that Qiao Guoer dig Xu Zheng under his banner.

Xu Zheng is a typical acting and excellent director~www.readwn.com~ Before the end of 2012, no one would have thought that this bald head who is good at acting in comedy would actually write, direct and act in a movie that broke the Chinese box office record.的泰囧.

Although there are some accidental factors in Tai Ji's achievements, Xu Zheng's talent is beyond doubt.

With him in hand, at least for the next two decades, Kiwi Film and Television will not have to worry too much about urban comedy movies.

Kiwi Films actually has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the Kiwi Cinemas.

Kiwi Cinemas has the most obvious advantage in China. 80% of the 3D and imax screens belong to Kiwi Cinemas. Just to make their movies sell more money, I won’t refuse Kiwi Movies if I want to come to Xu Zheng. Some other excellent directors and actors will not refuse the invitation.

That's it, slowly enriching one's own technical strength, slowly enriching one's own talents, and after ten or twenty years of deliberate development, Kiwi Films and televisions may not be able to open a new and unobstructed road for Chinese movies! (To be continued~^~)
