Chapter 440 Thanks to the seniors who have passed through
The market is actually like a siege.
The people inside want to go out.
People outside want to come in.
The huge movie market in Hollywood's Greedy Dragon Country.
Domestic movies are also greedy for overseas markets.
However, at present, the domestic market developed by Hollywood is definitely better at this stage.
As for domestic movies going out, there are actually many art movies going out.
There are really not many commercial films.
"The Great Wall" has also failed worldwide.
So when Wu Jieshan heard Yue Guan say this, he was surprised.
"Yue Guan, "The Investiture of the Gods" will not have a good performance overseas..., right?"
"It's one thing, but whether to do it or not is another. In addition, compared to other types of movies, this kind of commercial special effects blockbuster is actually the easiest to output, because the plot is very simple and the special effects are very good."
Most foreigners must not understand the original work of "The Investiture of the Gods".
However, the story told by the movie "Fengshen" is nothing more than the story of the immortal gate oppressing the heavenly court and the human dynasty, and then both sides rise up to resist.
The IQs of people from all over the world will not be much different, and such a simple story will definitely be understood.
With good special effects, you can actually look forward to the market.
"Director Wu, don't forget the country that Taizu once built for us." Yue Guan reminded.
If he didn't remind him, Wu Jishan would have forgotten this background like many silly readers.
The Dragon Prince, Li Anzhi, once planted the dragon flag all over the world.
What follows is the assimilation of culture.
Although the Long Kingdom was later defeated and even contracted to the Central Plains for a while, it was occupied by it.
Any existence will leave traces.
Therefore, the historical films that tell the Empire of the Sun in the past can have a huge market in the Ugly Kingdom.
If it were this world, even if it was conquered by the Dragon Kingdom, it was once a dark history, but cultural invasion was actually unstoppable.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in Dragon Country like superheroes created by Hollywood movies.
If Longguo wants to export comedy films, police, gangster films, and art films, it will definitely not conquer fans all over the world, because even the type of Hollywood movies cannot conquer the whole world.
Not to mention the whole world, the jokes in the south and north of the Dragon Kingdom are different.
But special effects blockbusters and superhero blockbusters are OK.
Because they are simple enough, the special effects are cool enough.
After being reminded by Yue Guan, Wu Jieshan remembered this incident, but this background did not help domestic movies before.
Otherwise, "The Great Wall" would not have failed.
So Wu Jishan didn't think of this for a while.
After being reminded by Yueguan, Wu Jieshan's eyes lit up.
"It seems that this is the case. If our movie special effects can be comparable to Hollywood, even if our commercial special effects blockbusters are not as good as Hollywood for many years, the market is still somewhat."
Yue Guan nodded: "The special effects of domestic movies were not good before, and they were generally lagging behind Hollywood for at least ten years. In this case, they naturally could not conquer movie fans all over the world. However, our special effects technology is not worse than that of Hollywood. Why not try to go out?"
It is actually unlikely to counterattack the world in a short time or even in a long time.
Because watching movies is an inertia.
But it is actually possible to slowly erode the global market and boil frogs in warm water.
In a subtle way, future commercial special effects blockbusters may start to calculate based on global box office.
Wu Jieshan was a little excited by Yue Guan's words.
He is a generation younger than Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, and his directors, but who has no dream of conquering the world?
It’s like being a celebrity wants to be a people’s artist.
"When will we set off?" Wu Jishan couldn't wait.
"Three days later, you will prepare your personal information and greetings, and we will go together at that time."
"No problem, I'll wait for your news at any time."
People in the entertainment industry like them often go abroad. When attending film festivals and going abroad, they are almost getting used to it.
This time when he went abroad, Yue Guan, the crew of "Fengshen" did not bring anyone else with him, so he brought Wu Lishan alone.
To talk about cooperation is not about publicity, and it doesn’t make sense to bring too many celebrities.
Of course, Mo Xiangwan must follow.
And Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin went to help him. She had worked abroad for several years before, and she had some connections in this regard.
Yue Guan introduced Zhang Yin and Mo Xiangwan to each other, and then the two women got together, as if they were very interested in each other.
Wu Jishan secretly gave Yue Guan a thumbs up.
Real tiger.
Before they got married, they dared to let the two women come into contact in advance.
Wu Jieshan, an old cannon, naturally, it can be seen that both women are close to Yue Guan.
Actually, Yue Guan didn't think so much.
This time I went abroad only to discuss business. Mo Xiangwan and Zhang Yin can help, so of course they will bring them all.
As for other things, why do you think so much?
The overseas markets of domestic films are actually mainly in Europe and the Americas.
However, the European film market is much smaller than that in the Americas. Yue Guan and the others have discussed it in the company before that they still tend to sell the overseas copyright of the first part of "The Gods", because only in this way can you be promoted and distributed with all your heart and strength on the territory of others.
Otherwise, if a foreigner is unable to use all his distribution channels and resources to cooperate with you, the influence that "Fengshen" can achieve will inevitably be greatly reduced.
The same is true for Hollywood movies to come to the domestic market. For a period of time, we could see Hollywood movies being released crazy and scrambled for box office. In fact, money may not make Hollywood profits.
What's more, it is that these Hollywood movies have been bought out by our own people, and the box office revenue will be all included in Longying or other companies.
Everyone plays like this, and Yue Guan doesn’t want any exceptions.
The question now is how much you can sell for a bargain.
Zhang Yin looked at Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, you have to be prepared for the first time in business, and you may not be able to make too much money."
"I know, do my best, and this time I didn't mean to make money. In fact, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning."
If he really wants to make money, he still has to build a foothold in China.
Even if the "Fengshen" series can be sold overseas, he may not be able to share the money.
But at his level, if you want to make money, you don’t have to pass the box office.
After making a fuss through capital means, the stock price actually makes more money than the box office.
For capitalists, box office is actually not what they value the most.
Even for the above, box office is not what you value the most.
Some vague influences can actually be exchanged for money and reputation.
So Yueguan is here.
Things went much smoother than Yue Guan expected.
Because he wanted his movies to enter the Western market, while Hollywood wanted his movies to enter the Eastern market.
