Chapter 916 The fish that came ashore (repair)(2/2)

So, around the millennium, the Chinese government finally made up its mind to revive the film industry.

Not only the theater system, the theater networking, and the introduction of foreign investment in cinemas were quickly promoted, because of the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in order to enter the international market, China also ushered in the era of blockbusters, with large-scale investment and big-scale production films such as "Hero", "The Promise", and "Night Banquet" emerging one after another.

This time, the super high global box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" has given China enough excitement. What Simon has to do is to take out another powerful medicine "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in advance, and cooperate with a series of film industry reform clauses instructed by Simon to negotiate with the Chinese government, which is enough to allow the Chinese film industry to enter a recovery period about five years ahead of schedule.

After all, it is impossible to say it too thoroughly, so Ang Lee obviously doesn't understand it very well and is a little unconfident: "Simon, I don't think "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has such great energy."

Simon affirmed: "Lee, all you have to do is do your best, and the rest, Daenerys Entertainment will handle it. And, well, this project is not the only solution."

When Ang Lee heard Simon's second half of the sentence, he relaxed and knew that he didn't have much room to bargain with the young man on the other side, so he nodded: "However, Simon, if you want to make a good movie, it may...it's better to film it in mainland China."

"If you feel it is necessary, everything will be kept secret before the project is completed, including your itinerary to shoot in mainland China. In short, Li, I just hope you can make this film that shows traditional Chinese culture in advance. I think you should be happy to see this. So, are there any other questions?"

Ang Lee originally wanted to say nothing, but when he thought of a detail just now, hesitated a little, and said: "Simon, don't you think my project is more suitable for the end of the year, so it will be easier to hit the awards season."

"Li, schedule is important, but it has never been a decisive factor. Moreover, this project focuses more on commercial nature and can only be seen by more people during the summer period."

The real reason is that "Titanic" will be released at the end of next year.

In front of the big ship, any other project will be crushed. In fact, the initial schedule for "Titanic" is next summer, but Simon did not feel that a serious procrastination patient could complete the project on time. He had moved the video directly to the end of 1997.

Simon actually also considered the award factor.

Even though "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" has shined brightly on the Oscars this year, as long as "Titanic" achieves dazzling results like the original time and space, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still has no chances, so it is still the main nominations, just like the original time and space.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether to leave it or not by the end of next year.

The box office promotion brought by the awards season can be compensated by Daenerys Entertainment, because the box office success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is mainly because the film itself is excellent enough and just fits the aesthetics of Western audiences. The awards season nomination certainly brings gains, but it is fundamentally icing on the cake.

Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "In this case, the production cycle may be a bit tense."

"It will be released at the end of July and early August next year, and the time is still very good. Although it is not as good as June and July, you understand that this is more suitable for a long-term movie. Many box office dark horses were born at the end of the summer season."
