Chapter 2045 King of Bollywood

The cooperation with Bollywood is based on the company's key judgment on the Indian market: Indian consumers will indeed pay for high-quality content.

From the data collected, more than 100 million Indians go to theaters to watch Bollywood movies about three times a year, and such consumers spend an average of $3 per movie, or $12 for a typical family of four.

From this point of view, if it is competing with Indian film consumption rather than television, it can have a broad market prospect in India.

But no matter which market it is, competition is inevitable. In the film market, India Universal is at the forefront, and in the TV drama field, India's traditional TV and new media such as Netflix are hindering. Neither way is actually easy.

But no matter how hard it is to walk, you have to keep walking to see the situation in the distance, right?

And Shah Rukh Khan is Donna's carefully selected partner.

He is the real business card of India, known as the Tom Cruise of India.

Almost all his fans have been fascinated by Shah Rukh Khan since his first Indian film Bollywood Love.

Bollywood Life and Death is a well-known novella in India, and it is very popular, just like Butterfly Lovers and Journey to the West in country Z. The stories in it have been remade into TV series and movies countless times.

Yang Cheng deliberately looked for this movie and watched it on the plane to India. Not to mention, when he went to sleep at night, the scenes in the movie would still appear in his mind.

Especially Shah Rukh Khan's eyes are estimated to fascinate thousands of girls.

Officially propelling him to international superstar status with Bollywood Life and Death, the film received international acclaim and introduced the Western world to this charismatic Asian actor.

The second one is Ashoka... It makes people realize that Shah Rukh Khan can play the role of a tough guy in addition to acting in Bollywood love soap operas. Qiqi's novels are first published on the Internet

Yang Cheng had heard of this film in his previous life, and it was said that King Ashoka also caused a wave of Shah Rukh sweat in China.

Shah Rukh Khan and the sexy goddess Karina Karp, the lineup can be described as star-studded, and the box office hit is also expected.

Ashoka's life-and-death relationship with Bollywood has made him an international superstar, and was once named "the man who influenced Asia" by the Times.

And then later, "My name is Khan, I'm not a terrorist." The Bollywood blockbuster My Name Is Khan repeats this to everyone in the film.

In the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival, when My Name Is Khan was announced as a finalist, the movie tickets on the ebay auction site were sold out within five seconds, and the price of each ticket was as high as 1,000 euros. The King of Hollywood is almost as good as the Pope.

Shah Rukh Khan's global fan club srkuniverse has nearly 2 million fans.

Also after Uncle Long, he has been tied with Jeter Lee for the second child of the Asian emperor superstar.

How should I put it, Shah Rukh Khan's movies express love, the love of all kinds of characters, big and small, he can be a hero, a hero, or an ordinary person who is inconspicuous. All these emotions are touching.

Anyone who likes Sharu Khan knows that as long as he has watched his movies, he will not turn fans. No matter how good others are, he is always the best one in his heart.

He is by no means a beautiful shell, his sexy body is full of the tension of the soul, exuding the breath of male hormones, he is a powerful magnetic field, with invincible lethality.

If Aamir Khan's movies are deep and thoughtful, Shah Rukh Khan is romantic and free and easy.

If Shahrur Khan is a mountain in the history of Indian film that needs to be looked up to, then Aamir Khan is a warm current in the history of world film that needs to be savored quietly.

Among the traditional "Three Khans" in Bollywood, in terms of global popularity, Shah Rukh Khan is the king of Bollywood, with hundreds of millions of fans worldwide, and is the artist with the largest number of fans in the world. Of course, a large part of it is Because India has a large population.

Sha Rukh was born in poverty, and worked hard step by step to get to where he is today, which is a bit like the Indian version of Liu Tianwang.

His parents died young and he came from an ordinary background. With his own efforts, he has become the most influential and representative figure in Bollywood in the past 20 years.

He entered the film circle in 1992, and in the second year, 1993, he began to win the Best Actor Award. Since then, with his hard work and dedication, his outstanding acting skills have won numerous awards and he has become India's number one male movie star.

Although Shah Rukh Khan has won many awards and is very popular, he is extremely humble and low-key.

For most Indians, Shah Rukh Khan is like an "Indian dream", and there is no Indian who does not love him.

He is the king of the box office, and almost every year his works rank among the top-grossing films of the year; he is the king of acting, and has won the best actor in the Indian Oscar filmfare eight times so far; he is the king of popularity, with fans all over the world.

It used to be the top three khans in India, and now it is the top four. Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are both one of the top four Khans in Bollywood, but Salman Khan and Hrithik Kross Khan are obviously a little worse than them. So many people like to compare the two of them, just like those who love football like to compare Messi with Ronaldo, those who like basketball like to compare James with Ke, and those who like martial arts like to compare Jin Yong with Gu Long!

Both of them are the most influential figures in the history of Indian cinema.

Shah Rukh Khan is 52 years old this year. He has worked as a host and producer. He also studied drama in high school, won the annual fencing championship, and is also the owner of a cricket team. He started his first Participated in TV dramas, and won the Best Newcomer Award when he participated in the movie Crazy for the first time at the age of 27.

The 1990s was the first step of his film career. At that time, Bollywood had not yet developed. He starred in several influential films locally. By the beginning of the 21st century, he starred in the film Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India. It was released in many countries around the world, starting the second step in his film history.

After 2005, Bollywood began to become more and more influential in the world, so Shah Rukh Khan starred in many commercial blockbusters every year and all of them were box office hits.

In 10 years, My Name Is Khan has entered the third stage of his film history. In the past few years, he has cooperated with the current Bollywood sister Deepika Padukone in many commercial blockbusters, such as Chennai Express, Both New Year's operations have had a lot of success.

This year he starred in the film Brain Fan, he played two roles, but he has not yet opened to fans all over the world, but he has already ranked eighth among Forbes' top ten highest-paid male stars in the world, and India's first!

But when Yang Cheng saw this Indian national treasure actor, he found that he was not as radiant as his reputation. There are also normal people.

Shah Rukh Khan is, his wife is a Hindu, and the two of them have known each other since 1984. Because of their religion and their status as actors, they didn't get married until 1991, and they have been scolded by many people until now.

He has three children, the third by a surrogate.

But one thing to say, his wife was really good-looking when she was young, a typical Indian beauty.

However, although Shah Rukh Khan is in his 50s, he can't see the traces left by the years at all.

This Indian national treasure is very addicted to cigarettes, and he never leaves his cigarette when filming and taking breaks. After meeting and greeting Yang Cheng, he immediately took out his cigarette and lit it. Of course, he asked Yang Cheng if he wanted one, but Yang Cheng declined Yes, he is not addicted to cigarettes.

The two chatted in different places, and Shah Rukh Khan took the initiative to bring the topic to cooperation, "I met Donna in Los Angeles before, and she expressed a very enthusiastic desire for cooperation. I also have the same idea. Both sides have been working together. Working hard on this matter.

Now that I can see Mr. Yang here, I think the cooperation can be finalized. "

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, took a sip of champagne, and asked, "I heard you have a cricket team?"

"Yes, I'm a cricket fan"

"Coincidentally, I also have several sports clubs under my umbrella. I love sports. I will invite you to watch football at Anfield when I have a chance."

"Oh, that's great, I like football too."

Yang Cheng's thoughts jumped, "Have you ever thought about entering Hollywood?"

Shah Rukh Khan shook his head without thinking, "I have thought about it, but I won't go"

"Why?"

"There are many reasons, such as not being interested in playing those stereotyped roles that Hollywood creates for Asians, and it is difficult for me to get a role that is not limited to the color of my skin, the way I speak and act."

Yang Cheng nodded appreciatively, "That's right, Hollywood's implicit discrimination against Asians will always exist, even if I am a player in it, this concept is hard to get rid of."

"Yes, he has acted in more than 80 films in the Hindi film industry for more than 20 years, and he has not yet found a suitable role in an international blockbuster."

It's also true that as a very beloved actor in many countries, his face is equated with Indian movies especially Mumbai based Hindi movies, and when it comes to Hollywood, he loses a lot of selling points, maybe even the first tier of Hollywood and the second tier The starting point of the actor is not as good.

There is only one Uncle Long, and Jet Lee was also discriminated against along the way, and they have the characteristics of martial arts, Shah Rukh Khan is a bit inferior in this respect.

"I'm not saying if there is a fandom problem, I think it's something Indians should be proud to play in Hollywood, but it's hard to get a role that's not limited to the color of my skin, the way I speak and act, and my age. .” He emphasized again.

Obviously, he has a very clear vision of himself, "I mean you can't go to Hollywood and tell producers, for a 50-something, brown skin, black hair, this type of acting, can dance These dancing old men write a role that can make Indians proud and go down in history, everything about me is too unique, Hollywood can’t reflect my commercial value, and the only way to go is to fail.”

When he said this, Yang Cheng could hear the coexistence of helplessness and regret, as well as some reluctance. Obviously, with his detached status in India, why didn't he ever think of conquering the entertainment center of the world?
