Chapter 1548 An apple
This film, which was launched at the beginning of this year, has officially entered the filming stage. It is basically the original cast and actors of the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, Diao Chan, who was fighting for it openly and secretly, finally fell for Chen Hao.
This actor who later played Diao Chan in the New Three Kingdoms actually got involved in the cast of the Old Three Kingdoms. At this time, Chen Hao was exactly 20 years old, which was the most dazzling time, and it was comparable to Diao Chan's age in history.
On the second day of the release of "Lord of the Rings", all members of the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" film crew, a total of thousands, took five chartered flights to the United States.
After getting off the plane, all the members of the film crew were extremely excited. They never dreamed that they could actually come to the United States by making movies by themselves. Even after getting on the plane, they felt that they were unreal.
After all, in this era, the United States is a paradise on earth and the top of the world's movies. Every trace of air is sweet. It is a blessing to be able to come here for three lives.
It is possible to book 5 planes at the same time, apply for visas to thousands of people, and then transport them to the United States at the same time. This made the crew sigh that only Boss Jia can have such courage and ability in the world.
Of course, many people in the crew were also very surprised, that is, movies, and they can be filmed in China, so why do they have to come to the United States? Isn’t this going to be far away?
The film director team was also very puzzled. They got off the plane and grabbed Boss Jia who came to greet them and asked in confusion.
"The United States has many very unique terrain, which is suitable for shooting some special lenses. In addition, the photography technology here is also very advanced, so everyone can learn advanced ideas!"
"And you don't have to stay here for too long. The shooting is completed in one or two weeks, and then you can go back," said Boss Jia with a smile.
"It's inexplicable!" Director Wang Fulin jumped up directly. "Mr. Jia, no matter how much terrain there is in the United States, it's not as much as ours. The photography skills are high. Just invite the photographer to China to teach us. What's the point of pulling the entire crew over directly! This is definitely not a normal reason!"
"Okay, then I'll tell the truth. I just need you to come to the United States!" Boss Jia said lightly, "You don't even have to do anything, just come to the United States for a trip!"
"??" Wang Fulin and others were full of question marks.
"I want to be released worldwide, but the Americans cannot accept a movie that is completely filmed by Chinese. Such a movie is difficult to achieve high box office in the United States!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "So, the filming party of this movie is a US company, and all the procedures and procedures are from the United States, so this is a Hollywood movie, but all the actors and most of the shooting locations are in China!"
"But if you want to get this approval, the movie still needs to shoot part of the content in the United States, so you are invited here!" Boss Jia told the truth.
"I don't understand!" Several directors shook their heads and said sincerely.
"Simply put, this is a shortcut for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to go to the whole world!" said Boss Jia.
Yes, this is indeed a shortcut.
Although the United States does not nominally restrict filming from being released in China for filming abroad, in fact, most of the American cinemas are reserved for Hollywood movies.
No matter how good a foreign movie is, it cannot get the support of many theaters, because behind these theaters are the forces of various Hollywood companies. They cannot even release their own Hollywood movies, so how can they release foreign movies?
Therefore, although domestic movies are claimed to be released in North America, the only movie theaters that have actually landed in are some movie theaters in Chinatown, and they cannot enter the mainstream theaters in the United States at all.
This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see. In addition, there is also a reason why many people cannot see it, that is, the contempt of Chinese movies by foreign audiences.
Although I am very unwilling to say this, it is true that foreigners are disdainful of China, let alone a movie made by China.
Many people simply refuse whenever they hear that a certain movie was filmed in China, and they don’t even have the interest to take a look at the plot introduction.
It’s like in 2020, someone suddenly introduced you to a movie made entirely by Nigerians in Africa and invited you to watch it in the cinema, your direct reaction is that I was kicked by a donkey in my head and then I went to watch a movie made by Africans!
This is what all viewers in the entire Western film market think. No matter how much money Boss Jia has or how strong the plug-in is, it is impossible for the audience to change their ideas.
As long as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is said to be a Chinese movie during promotion, it will at most be released in the United States Chinatown cinema, making money from American Chinese, that's all.
As for how to change this state, fundamentally, there is only a subtle way.
As China's national strength continues to improve, its international reputation becomes stronger and stronger. At the same time, Chinese films continue to become stronger, foreign audiences will naturally accept Chinese films.
But this takes time, and Boss Jia can't wait, so he has to take a shortcut, that is, simply turn "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into a Hollywood movie.
Even if the movie is full of Chinese actors, almost all the staff and shooting locations are in China, and the story is also a story from China, but as long as it is invested by Hollywood film companies, it is a Hollywood movie.
For example, Harry Potter was also all shot by actors from Yingguo, and they were filmed in Yingguo. Is it very popular in the United States?
Anyway, if you have to be named Hollywood, you will not be too much conflicted by the Beimi market.
Of course, you can say that "Harry Potter" is different from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". All the actors speak English, and they are in the same culture as there is almost no barrier. Of course, they can eat it.
That's right, but this does not mean that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be disliked by the Beimi Market.
For example, the 1987 movie "The Last Emperor" is the only movie in the world that can be filmed on site in the Forbidden City. Except for a few foreign ambassadors and teachers, all the actors are Chinese.
But it still achieved amazing box office in the film market that year, and also slaughtered the list on the Oscars of that year. This proves that the lineup of all Chinese actors is not without a market, but American audiences want to see a American movie, not a Chinese movie.
To sum up, all investors in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Golden Rebellion" are American companies, and the registered countries are also United States. Anyway, all follow the Hollywood process.
But it is impossible for a Hollywood movie to be nothing in the United States, so in order to do all the tricks well, Boss Jia directly invited the entire crew to the United States and shot some shots casually. At that time, it will be promoted that some of the content is filmed in the United States. This is a true Hollywood movie.
"I understand!" After Boss Jia's detailed explanation, Wang Fulin and six other directors finally realized, but their faces became even more ugly.
"Mr. Jia, wouldn't it be shameless for us to do this? We are obviously a Chinese movie, telling the story of Chinese people, but we have to whiten ourselves and put on white skin. This is simply too ugly. If our ancestors knew that we would die of shame if we did this!" A director with a hot temper said directly.
"No!" Boss Jia was not angry when he heard this, but smiled slightly and said, "No matter what kind of skin you criticize, Chinese people are Chinese people, this cannot be changed!"
"But we can use this to spread the culture of China to the whole world! In my opinion, this is the most important thing, and everything else can be changed because of this!"
"It's like an apple. Everyone likes to eat the flesh of the apple, but they don't care about the apple core. They throw it away after eating it!"
"But they don't know that once the apple core falls to the ground, it will sprout and take root, and eventually have the opportunity to grow into a huge apple tree!"
"Our movie is an apple. Although the meat outside is white, as long as the core inside is yellow, these foreign audiences will eat the flesh, and they will throw it on the land of the United States."
Chapter completed!
