One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty. I Want to Go to Hollywood
The movie "OPERATION RED SEA", in Wang Yifan's opinion, in the previous life, it can be said that it was filmed on the ground, without plot at all.
There is only one theme in the whole film, but apart from the theme, other times, it is all about fights.
Nothing else is involved.
But "Operation Red Sea" can also get such a high box office, which is enough to explain the problem in itself.
If "Wolf Warrior" is about individual heroism, then "Operation Red Sea" is about teamism.
And why the two films, "Wolf Warrior 2" was criticized in the previous life, but "Operation Red Sea" was less questioned?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Although they are all the main theme movies, in fact, because "Wolf Warrior 2" is the first movie to directly win the box office record, it stands out.
This in itself is also the price that should be paid for wanting to be the first movie.
In fact, the most important thing is that "Wolf Warrior" does have some light on the main theme to some extent. Overseas, "Wolf Warrior" is hard to sell, so it gives those black people an excuse to blackmail.
For example, those black people in "Titanic" can't black out if they want to black out, at most they can black out, this movie is a foreign language film!
You see, "Wolf Warrior" followed the domestic theme route, and the black film turned out to be inferior to Hollywood movies.
Then "Titanic" took a global route, and it turned out that the film that was blacked out was a foreign language film, so, no matter what, the film still could not be appreciated by everyone.
However, it is a question of more and less.
"OPERATION RED SEA" changed the soup but not the medicine, the first choice director is naturally He Jun.
After all, when it comes to shootout movies, He Jun is indeed currently the best in the country.
The others were not surprised when they heard Wang Yifan's words, but felt relieved.
"Then Director Wang, what kind of main theme movie do you think will be more likely to be recognized by the market next?" Dai Xinyue from Times Lighting asked this time.
Others also looked at Wang Yifan.
Although, after "Operation Mekong", Wang Yifan once said that the era of the main theme movie is coming, but at that time, even if everyone listened to it, but the subsequent attempts were just attempts to make some small-budget movies. No real big investment.
But now, it's really completely different.
If you don't follow up, it's too late, so to speak.
Because "Wolf Warrior" has truly proved that the era of the main theme has really arrived.
Therefore, at this time, they will naturally not hesitate as much as they did in "Operation Mekong" earlier.
"Actually, many things can be photographed, such as some major historical events, some industries such as the armed police, such as firefighting, such as medical personnel, etc., etc., etc., can all be photographed."
"By the way, "My Motherland and Me" will be aired on National Day this year, and then everyone will know better and understand that the era of the main theme has really come." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"My Motherland and Me" was co-produced by several major directors at the beginning. The film was finished long ago, but it was just to wait for the schedule, so it was later than "Wolf Warrior".
For some movies, the choice of schedule is equally important.
Regarding the movie "My Motherland and Me" that Wang Yifan mentioned, the reaction of everyone was not so strong.
The main reason is that this movie can be said to be unrepresentative.
Why?
Because first of all, the movie "My Motherland and Me" itself is different from other movies.
It can be said that the cast of this movie is definitely the best in domestic movies ever.
A collection of top domestic directors, top actors, plus the main theme, it is also a National Day file.
The announcement and release of this movie can be said to be invincible.
No matter how strong the background is, it will make way for this movie in the National Day file, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to dominate the schedule.
It is normal for such a movie to sell well, and it is abnormal if it does not sell well.
Therefore, it is not representative.
But what Wang Yifan said made others think.
This time, it seems that the main theme movie is indeed going to truly become the main theme on the big screen.
"The strong wind of the main theme has already blown, so I don't know what you think next, but Huaxin will invest in a few more main theme movies." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
In fact, Hollywood doesn't watch those superhero movies, but in fact, these movies, in themselves, are actually the main theme movies of their America.
In fact, to a certain extent, the development of a country's films has a lot to do with whether the country's main theme films can become popular.
The main theme of the movie, in many cases, can actually be measured, the national strength of this country, and today's Huaguo already has such a favorable time, place and people.
As long as it is not too bad, basically, the main theme movie will not sell too badly.
"Director Wang, I heard that director Chen Shaojun has gone to Hollywood, and he is also working with James Lister on an Olympic film?" At this time, Zhou Zhan couldn't help asking.
Hearing Zhou Zhan's words, other directors all looked sideways.
No matter what, Hollywood's temptation to these big domestic directors is really huge.
There is no way, to be honest, although Huaguo's film market is on the rise, Hollywood is Hollywood after all, and there are some gaps that cannot be made up in a short time.
Wang Yifan laughed, why did he do that in the first place?
Why did you pull Chen Shaojun over?
Isn't it to set an example for the big directors in China?
Don't look at these big directors in China, they keep their promises in China, and their influence is huge!
It's not impossible for them to make Hollywood movies, but even Chen Hang was favored by Hollywood after "The Truman Show", but what happened?
Chen Hang, who was filmed in that movie, probably has PTSD in Hollywood.
But Wang Yifan did not make a sound, but directly got Chen Shaojun to Hollywood, which is not a big deal. The key point is that he actually collaborated with James Lister, and it was also an Olympic movie.
Basically, it can be said that Chen Shaojun is nominated for the best director. Although the possibility of winning the award is not high, the nomination alone is enough to make them look sideways.
After all, there is only one Wang Yifan, and he won the Academy Award for Best Director because "Titanic" was too amazing.
In turn, it counteracts Oscar.
But for other domestic directors, as long as they can be nominated, it is already a very powerful honor.
So, everyone stared at Wang Yifan with piercing eyes.
After all, such resources are too few and rare.
"Ahem, "Rest of a Deserted Island" is actually not a big production. It was also because of a coincidence that James Lister just lacked a script for the Olympics, so it hit it off. Of course, if you want to go to Hollywood, you want to If you want to try one or two movies, it's fine, but I don't recommend it if you want to get a foothold in Hollywood." Wang Yifan said flatly.
