Chapter 35 Small Times 2.0
"Start negotiations with Zhu Haowei immediately, "Crazy Rich Asians" and strive to create a trilogy!"
Wen Ziren was a little embarrassed: "...but this is adapted from the novel. The original "Crazy Rich Asians" is a short story, and it has almost been filmed..."
Zhang Junsheng thought for a while and replied: "So, you ask him to study a Chinese series of movies called "Tiny Times"..."
“…What kind of movie is that?”
"It's similar to "Crazy Rich", it's a story of a fight between rich people..."
Wen Ziren was speechless, but agreed.
"Asian rich people are indeed a good subject. Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the rise of Asian rich people has caught Americans off guard. North America is full of curiosity about this group."
After looking at Sisi, Zhang Junsheng suddenly had a brainstorm: "Maybe I can make a movie "I am a Rich Second Generation"!"
“…Are you the prototype?”
"...that's so inspiring. Let's take Wang Tuocong as the prototype!"
"Ph, shameless!"
"…I'm telling the truth. Have you ever seen someone as inspirational as me? Only novels appear at all!"
Liu Sisi rolled her eyes and turned her head upstairs...
"Are you going out?"
"I made an appointment with Sister Nan and go to the movie together!"
"Watch a movie? What movie?"
"The Donkey Gets Water..."
"Wait a minute, I'll go and see..."
Liu Sisi stopped and thought for a while: "Then you are not allowed to answer the phone!"
“…Don’t worry, I mute…”
...
From traditional experience, the editors, directors and actors are all Asians, and the plot tells Asian stories. Such movies can only be watched by Asian American audiences, and whites will not buy them at all.
Domestic films that are usually popular are exported to the United States for filming, mainly for Chinese Americans to watch.
Only when there is a gust of movies will more viewers enter theaters to watch movies…
"Operation Mekong", there are only 48 painting theaters in North America, which has gradually increased to 1,800.
"Crazy Rich" is different, the original book sells well: Kwan Kevin published the novel "Crazy Rich Asians" in 2013, which describes the story of noisy, addictive, and wealthy Asian upper class characters from the perspective of a wealthy family. His writing style is relaxed and humorous, and quickly became a bestseller after publication.
Kwan, who comes from the Singapore Banking Family, then released the sequels "China Rich Girlfriend" and "The Rich People's Problem", forming the "Asian Rich People" trilogy.
After Tingfeng acquired the copyright, production immediately began...
According to what Zhu Haowei said in an interview: the population of Asia exceeds 4 billion, but from 2014 to 2015, 64% of American dramas did not have regular Asian characters.
In 2015, only 4 of the top 100 films sold in Hollywood were Asian, while less than 5% of the films with Asians playing major roles, and the other 37 films did not have any Asian roles.
This is unfair...
However, Zhang Junsheng couldn't figure it out. Such a movie with the theme of materialism actually won such a high box office...
Is the American film market really mature?
Well, Black Panther can win $700 million in box office...
But such a movie is probably difficult to achieve high box office in China: a bunch of aliens with Asian faces fall into the pile of money while holding a luxurious party while shēn yín Who cares about money I want love…
What is the difference between this and "Tiny Times"?
Chinese audiences have been tired of watching it for a long time, okay!
Well, maybe it's a little more advanced than "Tiny Times", after all, the filming location is Singapore!
The screenwriter is indeed a top rich class...
Tiny Times 2.0 version…
I really didn't expect that one day I would let a director learn "Tiny Times"...
...
Just after leaving, Freman's phone call came again.
The South Korean Xijie Group offered $5 million to introduce "Crazy Richmond", and they wanted to release it online and offline at the same time...
Ask Zhang Junsheng’s opinion…
"In recent years, Korean online theaters have developed rapidly, and the online box office of many movies is even slightly higher than that of theaters..."
If it is placed online, within three days, the high-definition pirated version of this movie will spread all over the world...
"The highest level of overseas markets is only US$100 million... The box office in the mainland may be very low..."
"It's not possible, but certain! It's optimistic that "Crazy Rich" must be released in mainland China at least in the New Year's Eve, and it's difficult to get high box offices. And if the account is divided, the box office in China will be postponed for at least one year, and South Korea's box office is very straightforward..."
Zhang Junsheng thought for a while: "In this way, you ask Dingfeng to release the news and see if any Chinese film company will bid to introduce it..."
“…What is your bottom line?”
"No matter how you can't be lower than the Korean quotation!"
Hang up the phone, Zhang Junsheng held his head and thought about the Korean video company...
The most intuitive reason is that the price of the members of the film industry in South Korea is cheaper than that of the general Korean locals. Let’s put it this way, the price of a Hollywood blockbuster in Korean online theaters is US$15, which is converted into RMB close to 100 yuan!
Even so, there are still a large number of viewers willing to buy it!
The largest streaming media group in the country is sk telecom…
It is equivalent to the Korean zhōng guó yí dòng…
Can you try Yuehua Video?
Zhang Junsheng means to be released online and offline at the same time...
For example, "I'm Not a God of Medicine"...
Or give a cycle, twenty days more than the defense.
But once you try it, it will have a great impact on the cinema chain!
Yuehua has a theater chain in his hands!
If I could sell the theater...
It’s better not to mention that theaters still have at least five to ten years of growth in China!
Liu Sisi couldn't help but push him: "…So what's wrong?"
"Not what?"
"No, I haven't spoken for a long time?"
"…just think about it casually, by the way, have you watched "Donkey Dessert" before?"
Zhang Junsheng quickly changed the topic...
"No, but Sister Nan said it was a very heartbreaking movie..."
"Actually, this is a work adapted from a drama. The director is Zhou Shen and Liu Lu... The story is like this. In order to change the backward and ignorant environment of China at that time, several teachers came to a water-deficient village. They raised a donkey to carry water, but the Ministry of Education did not agree to pay for raising a donkey, so the principal falsely reported the donkey to a teacher named "Lu Deshui"..."
Liu Sisi directly covered his mouth: "...Don't spoil it!"
"No, did you not read the introduction before watching the movie?"
“…If you don’t look, otherwise there will be no surprises!”
Zhang Junsheng was a little speechless...
He was used to being confident, and once anything was out of his control, he couldn't accept it...
This is even more true for the movie!
"By the way, Liu Yifei, do you know her?"
Zhang Junsheng swallowed: "…What's wrong?"
"You are very familiar with her, aren't you?" 9
