Chapter 1223 Artist Delivery (8/10)
Seeing Wang Zhongjun's stunned expression, Feng Yu smiled happily. This is the practice of the Chinese brothers in the future, but the Chinese brothers have not implemented it yet.
Using Wang Zhongjun's own ideas to guide Wang Zhongjun, this feeling... is wonderful!
Wang Zhongjun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. It's just that in this way, the company's management will be a lot of trouble, but it is indeed as Mr. Feng said, it can better control the artist resources, especially the stars among the artists.
"Mr. Wang, have any of our company's artists developed abroad? I mean abroad."
"President Feng should call me by my name. I really don't dare to be the word president. Our company's artists are gradually expanding outward, mainly in Southeast Asia and other places." Feng Yu called him President Wang, and Wang Zhongjun always felt a little harsh. In front of Yu, who can be called the boss.
"Then I'll call you Zhong Jun. What you're talking about in Southeast Asia and other places, do you mean letting singers go out to perform or actors go out to promote movies?"
"Yes, it is like that."
"This is not enough. You should find a way to make them become real big stars abroad. The best way is to let them have works that are popular with foreigners."
Wang Zhongjun smiled wryly: "Mr. Feng, this is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. Our Chinese culture is very influential in Asia, but there is still a big gap between us and the West, that is, Europe and the United States. We think Good works, they can't understand at all."
Feng Yu smiled: "Then make the script simpler. We don't make movies with connotations, but commercial movies. Movies, the plot is very important, but the visual picture is also important. Look at the so-called blockbuster movies in Europe and the United States. , and all of them have shown excellent visual effects, why can’t we do this? The plot is simpler and reflects individual heroism, which is most in line with Western values, but it is not unacceptable on our side.”
In the previous life, there were many popcorn movies in Europe and America, and the plot could not withstand scrutiny at all, but the audience bought it. It is because the visual effects are well done and the scenes look wonderful. The vast majority of people watching movies is nothing more than a pastime, how many of them go to the movies with a critical eye?
Those literary films don't do well at the box office. No matter how good your acting is, the audience won't buy it. Even if you win a prize, so what, is it not making money?
How the market prospers is not driven by those so-called award-winning films, but that films can attract more audiences and sell well at the box office. Only then will more people enter the TV market and the industry will prosper.
Just like Xiangjiang Films back then, its output was the second largest in the world at that time, and there were hundreds of film companies, large and small, so Xiangjiang is just a big place.
It was only later that blindly saving costs led to more and more shoddy movies, and then slowly declined. It wasn't until the appearance of Infernal Affairs that the Xiangjiang film market began to recover, and Xiangjiang movies were once again available in European and American theaters.
"The plot is too simple, isn't the story very straightforward?" Wang Zhongjun asked worriedly.
"If you look at our traditional martial arts movies, the plot is very simple. A kills B, and B's son C learns art to seek revenge from A. During the period, there may be A's daughter D, who has a relationship with C. This kind of movie, everyone I can understand it, and what everyone sees is the lively scene. You hit me, I hit you, fight and kill, how many people liked it at that time? American people are relatively simple-minded. After all, it is recognized by the world that Asians have the highest average IQ .”
"So we can move out the routines of our martial arts dramas before, but we can't make that kind of ancient costumes, but make them modern, or even future. Fighting, love, or a little comedy, that is the best commercial movie. The main routine, this point, is not difficult."
"But the movies we made, there are no companies in Europe and the United States to buy them." In the past two years, the Chinese brothers also thought about exporting movies, but they failed miserably in the American market, and no one cared about them in the European market. Why send films to film festivals like Venice and Cannes? It’s not just to sell the films.
"If you can't sell it, it's because you didn't find the right person. Coincidentally, Fengyu Electronics has cooperated with several major film companies in the United States, and it may be able to help you recommend movies to them. But what I said, you should also To achieve this, the movie should be straightforward and simple, with emphasis on visual effects, humor through body expressions, etc., language is not enough."
"The United States also has a brokerage company that claims to be the number one in the world, called an elite brokerage company. You can find a way to cooperate with them, and through them, push our artists and stars to the United States and even the world. Correspondingly, we can bring their customers to the Chinese market."
China is now in a period of economic explosion, and the film market is on the rise. In the past few years, there have been movies that have started to make money. Moreover, Fengyu Electronics controlled the copyright of the discs and carried out some necessary protections, which resulted in a lot less pirated discs in China at this time, and some low-cost movies could earn back their costs just by selling the discs.
Europe and the United States have always wanted to open up the emerging market of China. With so many people in China, even if only 1% of them watched their movies, how much box office would it cost?
"It's easy to introduce European and American artists, but it's not so easy to send our artists out?"
"So, there must be good works. Whether it is a song or a movie, as long as it can be liked by Europe and the United States, then this person can have some fame there. For example, those singers in Xiangjiang are pushed out like this Yes. They can even hold concerts in Europe and the United States. In fact, those Europeans and Americans can’t understand what they are singing at all.”
"One more thing, you know that many celebrities made their debut by shooting commercials, right? We can push Chinese celebrities to Europe and the United States as advertising spokespersons, let them get acquainted first, and then Then come up with good works."
Not only in China, but also in Europe and the United States, there are commercial stars who have turned into actors who have achieved great success. Even many of them were lukewarm when they were actors, but they became popular after filming commercials, and then the film appointments continued and became more and more popular.
"President Feng, I understand. I will make a detailed plan after these things, and I will definitely be able to send our artists to Europe and the United States." Wang Zhongjun expressed his opinion loudly.
"That's right. First of all, you must have confidence in yourself. If you don't believe in it, how can you succeed? Those who change the world must first have a heart to change the world. Do it boldly, and I am optimistic about you!"
