Chapter 801 Set the right goal and go the right way

"When I was filming, I paid great attention to my actors, such as filming Zhou Runfa. He had never made an action movie. He said he had never hit anyone in his life, and he could not even swing his fists."

Wu Yusen was talking on TV, and Qiao Feng pressed the pause at this time, and then sighed: "It's still us who know the characteristics of our actors. Unlike the ghosts who think they know how to be kung fu when they hear about Chinese actors."

"Yes." Li Zhi snuggled up to Qiao Feng and couldn't help but nod.

She knew this very well when she was studying in the United States.

It seems that in the eyes of Americans, everyone is Li Xiaolong. When she introduced herself to others, those people would always scream and then grab and kick the feet, and then say esophage.

"I think it's really wise for you to let Fa Ge and Wu Yusen come to Hollywood to develop. If any of them comes alone, it will definitely be difficult to adapt to the environment in Hollywood. You can see that although it is a decided interview script and you asked Wu Yusen to play it, but you know that he is the most tacit understanding of his cooperation with Fa Ge. I even think that only Wu Yusen's song and dance action movies can be truly performed as cool as Fa Ge."

Qiao Feng nodded with a smile: "You are right, and I also think Fa Ge and Wu Yusen are perfect matches. Although they are the absolute top players in their field, they will have even more surprising and incredible chemical reactions when putting them together."

"When I first heard that Fa Ge was going to develop in Hollywood, I thought you also wanted to build him into a kung fu star like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie." Li Zhi smiled.

"Not to say, there were really many people who proposed to me to promote it like this before. After seeing the two heroes in blood, the true nature of heroes and the harsh detectives, they all thought that Brother Fa was a skilled person." Qiao Feng said a little funny.

People in Europe and the United States think that Chinese people know how to do kung fu, and Zhou Runfa’s most popular movies are action movies. So when Qiao Feng said he would run several movies from Zhou Runfa to North America and let Zhou Runfa make movies in Hollywood, the MGM company’s promotion and distribution department initially planned to promote Zhou Runfa as another Asian kung fu star after Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and was also preparing to portray Zhou Runfa into "the most kung fu star in Asia."

When Qiao Feng saw the plan, he almost died speechless. This damn stereotype is really harmful.

Zhou Runfa, who was originally in time and space, was arranged by Hollywood people in a wrong position, comparing him with Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and others, thus ignoring Zhou Runfa's profound acting skills, which eventually led to Zhou Runfa's path in Hollywood being deviated from the beginning, and being stumbling, and being far from reaching the heights of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, I messed up a lot of things, but this kind of wrong positioning still occurred.

Qiao Feng was very glad that he was lucky to fly to the United States for the Academy Awards and then saw the promotional plan.

If not, I would not pay much attention to such small things in publicity. If that were the case, I would have missed Zhou Runfa again.

"The two heroes, heroic nature and hard-working detectives are all released in April and May. Is it a bit too dense?" Listening to Qiao Feng talk about several upcoming movies, Li Zhi asked with concern.

It is not intensive to release several movies in two months. In a mature and huge film market like North America, it is normal to have dozens of movies invested in a month.

Lizhi is not worried about this. What she is worried about is that it is starring Zhou Runfa. Before that, Zhou Runfa was not very famous in North America. Will such a intensive release of Zhou Runfa’s movies cause aesthetic fatigue to North American audiences?

If that happens, it will not only not play a role in promoting the reputation, but will also backfire.

"No." Qiao Feng understood Lizhi's meaning, but he didn't think this would be a problem.

"These films are not high, and the two heroes with the highest bloodshed are only more than 700 canvases," Qiao Feng explained.

This number is basically the same as when Terminator was released.

Although the two heroes who were both directors and actors were not very famous among ordinary North American audiences, when the Terminator came out, both directors James Cameron and Schwarzenegger were also unknown, and they were even less famous than Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa.

At least there are quite a few Hong Kong film enthusiasts in North America, and there are also a large number of Chinese movie fans.

In comparison, except for the white European and American identities, Kashen and Arnold were unable to compete with Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa anywhere.

At that time, the Terminator who worked with Kasen and Arnold could have more than 700 canvases. After so many years, Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa's bloody two heroes only had more than 700 canvases, which is really not too much.

"The low schedule means that the possibility of several films being released in the same theater is not so high, and naturally it will not cause a large degree of audience overlap. Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about aesthetic fatigue."

"Will the final box office not be too high?" Li Zhi felt a little cold-hearted. Although the scheduled filming can not completely affect the box office of the movie, the scheduled filming can greatly affect the box office.

It is a Hong Kong film with a not-so-large audience, and there are not many films scheduled. Doesn’t this mean that the box office of several movies will not be very good after being released?

The release scale of hundreds of canvases is so small that I’m sorry for the programs I’ve been on frequently recently.

Because of their lack of fame, whether it is Zhou Runfa or Wu Yusen, they spend money on the shows they appear on.

If you include the large number of hard advertisements on bus stops, subways and other advertising spaces, the promotional cost alone will be tens of millions of dollars.

If the box office is not ideal at that time, these movies that made a big profit in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia will lose money in North America.

Thinking about losing money, Lizhi felt so frustrated.

But no matter how frustrated you are, you can only endure it.

It’s just that the world today is dominated by mainstream European and American values.

It’s just that our great China has not yet revived.

It is obviously a few good movies, but because this is a world where white people are dominant, the mainstream values ​​are European and American values, and movies that are all starring Hong Kong people are not so valued.
