MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 223
Dozens of filming locations.
If it weren't for this era, when all kinds of consumption in the mainland were very cheap, the production cost of this film could not have been only 60 million US dollars anyway.
These beautiful scenery, after adding filters, in the movie, is simply unparalleled in the world.
This is a landscape that Americans have never seen before.
Just from the picture, it gave the vast majority of Americans a shock.
It is a magnificent landscape formed by natural scenery and humanities.
A huge statue of Buddha, squatting in the surging river, with mountains behind it.
Chapter 228 Arrival in Hong Kong
This is a miracle of nature and humanity.
Light natural scenery, in fact, the United States also has.
But the humanities are what America lacks.
The scenery with historical background is even more shocking.
Within a week, a large number of middle-class Americans, after watching the film Shushan World.
After learning about the locations of these scenery through the Internet, one by one, they booked air tickets to the mainland and went to travel.
At the price of the mainland, a trip cost one or two thousand dollars, and you can play very happily.
For these middle class, none of this matters.
Even cheaper than playing in your own country.
Similar feeling, like the future, the mainland travels to Cambodia and other places, the concept is similar.
･･･
On the mainland, the Immigration Bureau, in the short term, has seen a surge in the number of Americans coming to China.
In just a few days, thousands of Americans want to come to the mainland, and the visas they apply for are all for tourism purposes.
This confuses them greatly.
Why are there so many foreigners entering the country all of a sudden?
This abnormal situation was immediately reported to the above.
The above question and go, the suspicion goes to Steve Kevin's movie.
The last time so many people suddenly came to travel was after the release of the movie Shushan.
This time, could it be the influence of the Shushan world?
to and fro.
The call went to Zhang Yimou.
Many people know that Zhang Yimou went to the United States and learned how Hollywood makes movies from Steve Kevin. Zhang Yimou must know the reason.
"I think it is the influence brought by the world of Shushan."
"The Hollywood film industry does have this level of influence."
"When will I be able to catch up?"
"Not sure, but even ten, twenty, or even fifty years, as long as I'm still alive, I will try my best to catch up."
"..."
In the phone call, Zhang Yimou directly attributed the credit for this incident to Tsui Hark's movie Shushan World.
To this end, the superiors also discussed with Zhang Yimou about the gap between the mainland film industry and Hollywood, and when they can catch up.
And Zhang Yimou also stated that he will do his best until he dies.
Wait until you hang up.
Zhang Yimou sighed.
Although the words are nice, but if you really want to catch up, it's really not that simple.
The development of Hollywood has gone through 90 years, and with the support of the United States, it has developed to this point.
The mainland's film industry has only developed for more than ten years.
And because of environmental reasons, there has not been much progress in the past ten years.
Far from the development of Hong Kong movies, let alone Hollywood.
It's easier said than done to catch up.
However, through the conversation with Steve Kevin and Zhang Yimou's own understanding, Zhang Yimou has found a little bit of direction.
What he has to do now is to practice his own ideas and see if he can go on.
Whether martial arts can open up a world in the United States.
After Zhang Yimou watched a lot of Hollywood movies, he felt that martial arts and American Westerns were actually somewhat similar concepts.
Therefore, applying the template of Western movies is actually the best way for Americans to understand the concept of martial arts.
But specifically, what kind of story to tell, he hasn't set up yet.
During the time when he returned to China, he was looking for every martial arts master and a gold medal screenwriter.
He wanted to find out what the two had in common.
Thus creating a martial arts film that Americans can understand.
-------------------------------------
After confirming that all this is due to the influence of the movie Shushan World produced by Chenxi Film Company.
In order to give back to the positive influence and benefits brought to them by Morning Sun Movie.
After Chenxi Company submitted an application to the mainland for the release of Shushan World on the mainland, it only took one day to pass the review.
For the film is even cut.
This is the treatment that Hollywood movies have never received in the mainland.
Titanic has deleted a lot of scenes in order to be released on the mainland.
But the world of Shushan has not been cut.
Although it is said that this is because there is nothing illegal in the world of Shushan, but in fact, everyone understands it.
Sometimes, in order to show authority, it is more or less necessary to get a few scissors.
Now that there is no cut, it can only show that the behavior of Chenxi Film Company has gradually opened up a higher channel.
Get a completely different treatment from other film companies.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Chenxi Film Company does not die, the mainland will give the best treatment to the films produced by Chenxi Film Company in the future.
There is a saying in the mainland, which is called a thousand pieces of gold to buy horse bones.
They wish Steve Kevin could make enough money from the mainland.
This will send a message to Hollywood.
The mainland treats Hollywood companies that are willing to show goodwill to the mainland better.
Let them make better money in the mainland market.
Only when this concept is formed can Hollywood's prejudice against the mainland be eliminated.
And this, in turn, requires people to make enough money from the mainland before they can change these impressions.
Steve Kevin's actions made the mainland see him as a suitable horse bone.
A horse bone used to get other studios to change their minds.
･･･
Tsui Hark and Kevin got on a plane to Hong Kong.
Tsui Hark brought his wife and children, and Kevin brought his eight bodyguards.
No matter where he is, Kevin is very careful about his personal safety.
What's more, Hong Kong in this era is still quite chaotic.
Get off the plane.
Jackie Chan's iconic big nose appeared outside the airport.
As soon as he saw Kevin and Tsui Hark appear, Jackie Chan immediately greeted him and said with a smile on his face:
"Kevin, this time, you came to my site, and I will be the host today."
"No problem, then you will be the host."
Kevin responded immediately.
Seeing that Kevin gave face like this, some friends who followed Jackie Chan cast envy and awe at Jackie Chan.
A big man like Steve Kevin is really so familiar with Jackie Chan, and it's funny.
It seems that Jackie Chan's previous words were not boasting.
At Jackie Chan's invitation, Kevin also got into his luxury car.
The car drove for about an hour and came to a villa.
"Kevin, when you come to Hong Kong in the future, you can live in this villa as you like."
"After I bought it, no one has lived here. Everything inside is new, you can use it as you like."
"Then I'm welcome."
"By the way, Brother Long, do you know Mr. Jin Yong?"
"I want to meet Mr. Jin Yong, and I hope someone will introduce you." Kevin went straight to the topic.
Chapter 329 Wang Jing
"There was a relationship, but I didn't know each other very well."
"But Senior Brother Yuan, you should know him. You can ask him to help introduce him."
Jackie Chan helped come up with ideas.
Yuan Heping, as Hong Kong's top martial artist, has cooperated with countless film companies.
A wide network of people.
He must know Jin Yong.
Kevin nodded and promised Jackie Chan to attend his son's birthday party in a few days before watching Jackie Chan leave.
Kevin is still willing to get acquainted with Jackie Chan, who will play an important role in the future mainland entertainment industry.
Going to a birthday party, nothing.
To help Jackie Chan save face, just for this point, what happens to Kevin in the future, when Jackie Chan needs Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan will definitely help.
Although there may not be that time, Kevin is still willing to do this kind of thing without expense.
He called Yuan Heping, who was far away in the United States. Through Yuan Heping's contacts, Kevin successfully contacted a person who could connect with Jin Yong.
･･･
In the afternoon, after resting in the villa for a long time, Kevin, who had recovered his spirits, was about to go out for a walk.
I heard noise from outside.
"I'm Wang Jing, I'm here to find Director Kevin, and I've made an appointment in advance."
After self-introduction, a fat man with a happy appearance, led by the bodyguard, entered the villa looking left and right.
After a few glances in the living room, Wang Jing saw Kevin sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Immediately, he approached with familiarity.
