Well, Xudong is on vacation again!
External explanation: The scenery has gone...
Exterior shooting for the upcoming "Total War 2";
In fact, just go out and hang out...
Because the location for "Total War 2" has long been decided on a section of Wolong Ridge in Zhangjiajie... Photographers and special effects artists have been arranged to shoot the material!
It’s impossible to actually go to the local area to shoot…
It’s not a real shot, it’s just a background conversion—the land of mountains and seas!
Real shot?
He couldn't find divine beasts like dragons and chaos either...
The filming of "Total War" was completely an industrial process...
With three photography teams, at Shen Xudong's request, the photographers will communicate and compare their own shooting logs, and also use the PIX system online sample platform to preview each other's samples through secure connections, making "Total War" a super A collaborative, interconnected system.
Well, this was originally used by the "Three Kingdoms" filming team...
"Three Kingdoms" has been released for five seasons, and each season has a lot of big scenes. At first, three teams were filming, and later expanded to five, and later, seven teams were filmed together...
It is very important that the style of the material is consistent!
No two photographers in the world have exactly the same style, but with enough communication and working together, they can become a close-knit team and the material they shoot at the same time can be visually very similar...
How can it be similar?
Quoted the PIX system online sample platform!
This thing is very expensive...
But it does work.
By the way, PPTV's "Three Kingdoms" TV series has great influence and has almost become a star film. In addition to the Asian market, the European rights were exclusively purchased by SKY TV, and the North American rights were sold to AMC...
Why not sell to Netflix?
In essence, PPTV and Netflix are competitors...
However, PPTV dominates the Asian market, while Netflix is based in the European and American markets and is entering the Asian market...
By the way, PPTV has almost turned South Korea into a foundry. Netflix doesn’t really want to compete head-on with PPTV at this stage. They are entering Asia and their main focus is the Japanese benzene market...
Back to the topic, Shen Xudong originally planned to go to New Zealand to stay for half a month, wait for the news of "The Wandering Earth" to subside, and then come back.
Well, that was the plan, but before he left, he suddenly received a call from Meng Ziyi...
It was Meng Ziyi. The girl told him that she had arrived in Luzhou...
There was no other way, Shen Xudong had no choice but to take her with him.
A trip for two people cannot be considered a vacation.
Shen Xudong has always felt that taking a vacation is a very personal matter.
Going out alone is called traveling;
When a group of three or five people go out to play, they are called fellow travelers;
A group of people go out to play, which is called socializing...
But if there are two people, if there is no considerable emotional foundation and trust, it is best to surf the Internet at home...
Shen Xudong felt that he had not yet established a relationship foundation, so he did not go on vacation or return to BJ, but took her to New Zealand...
After a few days of living day and night...
Literally day and night.
Well, three days of love record...
On the fourth day, Shen Xudong couldn't bear it anymore. After showing off his appearance again, he righteously rejected her opportunity to show off her eloquence: "Let's chat for a while. Indulging in things between men and women will only make people more depraved... What are you doing?" Don’t you care about your future at all? If you are confused about the future, you can ask me!”
In other words: not a drop left!
He really isn’t a perpetual motion machine!
Fishing in dry lakes should also take a sustainable route. The little girl nowadays is too cruel.
Meng Ziyi rolled his eyes at him: "...Are you tired?"
"Let's discuss the matter," Shen Xudong continued to change the subject: "You can talk to me about your plans for your career and your expectations for the future~"
Meng Ziyi ignored him: "You said before that you wanted to educate me..."
educate?
Meng Ziyi said what Shen Xudong said when they were showing off on the first day they met...
"Is that why?"
"Yes!" Meng Ziyi's expression was serious: "I can lose in other aspects, but not this one!"
Shen Xudong also got angry: "Wait a moment!"
"What? Take medicine?"
"...To deal with you, do I still need to take medicine? I'm not afraid to brag to you. I've tried to hit you ten times before!"
"Then why are you scared now?"
"Am I afraid?" Shen Xudong gritted his teeth: "Then come again..."
Sacrifice your life for justice!
The good news is that she still goes to school, and on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the two of them will return to China;
The bad news is: three more days!
…
If "Total War" still follows the Hollywood process and takes the path of borrowing a boat to go to sea, "The Wandering Earth" is purely produced and distributed by Tianmei Company...
The emergence of "The Wandering Earth" has made Hollywood wary...
This shows that the Chinese film industry has the strength and potential to make a name for itself on a global scale.
This has already formed a competitive relationship with them!
But... limited by distribution capabilities, "The Wandering Earth" has not been released in developed countries or regions, and has been released simultaneously in Asia.
There's no way around it. To build a global distribution network, in addition to spending money, you also need connections and a stable source of films...
The most important thing is: you have to continue to produce content that is interesting to the audience at that time!
Otherwise, even if you open up theaters and there is no audience to pay, it will be difficult for you to continue this business!
Hollywood has the ability to achieve global distribution. In addition to the movies themselves, they also control a large amount of media promotion power and... most importantly, the global cultural influence of the United States!
Chinese-language films are relatively embarrassing. Even Tianmei Media has not secured distribution in Europe. Many films still have to rely on the MK2 distribution system...
In the North American market, the world's largest market, Chinese films basically only have DVD business. The distributors of the sporadic Chinese-language films that are active in theaters are local companies, and most of them are art labels affiliated with the six major Hollywood studios.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" comes from Sony Classics, "Heroes" comes from Miramax, and when "The Grandmaster" was released in 2013, it was promoted by the now-bankrupt Weinstein Pictures.
By the way, here's a background: After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became a global hit, several Hollywood studios added institutions to develop Chinese content. For example, in 2005, "Kung Fu" was operated by Sony Columbia Pictures' Hong Kong office and was released in North America through 2503 The movie grossed $17 million at the box office.
Well, it holds the record for the lowest opening of 2,500 screens in North American film history...
However, Hollywood did have the intention of treating Chinese filmmakers as foundries...
Thanks to "The Promise" for making this plan go bankrupt...
Bringing it back, Warner rejected the distribution work of "The Wandering Earth". No choice but to do so, Shen Xudong came forward to find Universal and offered a 2% profit before Universal agreed to open the film on 500 screens...
This situation is already more than ten times better than the original time and space!
In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" was released in North America. At the beginning, only 34 theaters were scheduled, and at the peak, it was only 129. No films were scheduled at all...
If you insist on suppressing this thing, it actually doesn’t count...
The North American Exhibition Association serves those large companies - it is responsible for film classification and coordinating several major film companies.
If you want to do a large-scale release in North America, you need to have the endorsement of a big company, then classify it, then discuss the account sharing, and then coordinate the film company and theater chain...
It doesn’t mean that you can play it just by buying it…
Unless you go through small-scale screening channels, then...the screening association will turn a blind eye and won't care about you!
"The Wandering Earth" has Universal's endorsement - it was introduced in the form of US$1.5 million + split accounts...
It got a PG-13 rating, and the box office was pretty good, taking in 7.18 million US dollars in 6 days...
According to predictions, US$20 million is no problem!
The biggest advantage of the North American release is that global distribution is handled smoothly!
