"The most important thing is that Wang Qun really angered Lao Bai this time."
On the golf course, after Zhou An knocked a ball away, he turned around and smiled slightly: "Actually, no matter how many times before, people just regarded Wang Dayan staring at you as an insignificant little mosquito, and they didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
, but this time, those people touched Lao Bai's taboo."
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Runqing quickly responded: "Taboo? Is it "Hero"?"
Everyone knows that Lao Bai attaches great importance to "Hero".
There has never been a movie that allowed PRC Lao Bai to release various promotions so frequently before its release, and there has never been a Lao Bai movie with such a huge schedule and publicity resources as "Hero". So whether it is the Forbidden City or the Lotus,
Or maybe other companies that have cooperated with Lao Bai know the Xiao Jiujiu in this great master's heart.
The essence of "Hero" is still a martial arts movie!
This is a novel theme pioneered by Lao Bai and has gradually reached its peak. In addition to online novels and physical publishing fields that are now very popular, and animation and game adaptations have also begun to take off, martial arts are now becoming more and more popular on the small screen.
Popular. From a few years ago, everyone focused on Lao Bai’s IPs, and now the works of other martial arts authors have begun to receive great attention and popularity. The rise of martial arts TV series is so fast that it makes people’s hearts tremble!
But in the field of movies, there really haven't been any hits.
The most classic and best-looking one is still "Dragon Inn" from several years ago. Although many filmmakers have tried to make martial arts movies later, and they are getting better and better, but it seems that they want to catch up with the classics directed by Lao Bai.
It's always a few breaths away...
The film with the highest box office is almost the same as "Dragon Inn" back then.
Yes, it's almost a tie, just a little bit behind.
So after the filming of "Hero" started, I don't know how many filmmakers have been keeping an eye on Lao Bai and the results of "Hero" when it is released in the future. Not only because many people are very interested in martial arts and want to see the hero in the heart of the originator of martial arts.
The world, and there are also some filmmakers who think more and go deeper, are silently paying attention to the potential of martial arts on the big screen!
They have discovered the limitations of martial arts movies.
In other words, they haven't found a particularly good way to allow martial arts to have the same level of expressive scenes, special effects, etc. as other types of commercial blockbusters on the big screen. Sun Peng's "Hero" has a huge investment, and the trailer shows
It has no less shocking scenes than other costume masterpieces, so it has naturally become the focus of many filmmakers.
So strictly speaking, "Hero" is another attempt at martial arts.
The success of the combination of martial arts and China's most mature type of movies is not only related to the future of martial arts movies, but in the eyes of some people is also related to the future of another more important movie type, the costume blockbusters that have been popular around the world in the past few years.

So when Zhou An said it, Gao Runqing immediately thought of "Hero".
only……
"No, it's "Mulan" and "Hero"!"
Shaking his head, Zhou An leaned on the club and smiled: "Apart from "Hero", those people underestimated the importance of this cartoon in Lao Bai's mind... Haha, if it was just an ordinary cartoon
, Lao Bai will invest 200 million US dollars in production and promotion? Even if there is a certain amount of water in it, there is always a billion Chinese coins!"
When he said this, Zhou An's eyes were full of unspeakable sarcasm.
Some mosquitoes or flies just don't know how to live or die. In the past, they always buzzed next to people's ears, but they always felt that people's tolerance was very high, so that they mistakenly thought that they would not be in danger even if they landed on someone's face.
At this time, who would be so good-tempered that he would not give it a slap?
Others don't know the status of "Mulan". As the helmsman of Lotus Pictures, how can Zhou An not know?
Not only did the production investment exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, DreamWorks even spent nearly 100 million U.S. dollars on publicity and distribution expenses, and the overseas market alone was no less than 50 million U.S. dollars! And as one of the publishers, Zhou Ankan
After watching the completion of "Mulan", I have completely understood the ambition of DreamWorks, or Lao Bai's ambition!
To put it bluntly, "Mulan" is the pinnacle of Chinese animation.
If you want to discuss the plot alone, there are indeed many better than "Mulan" in Chinese history. Even in terms of soundtrack, dubbing or other production, there are many domestic animations that are better than "Mulan", but in
In terms of animation sophistication and picture quality, "Mulan" has the potential to crush any Chinese animation!
Even compared to other big Hollywood productions, the difference is really not that big.
"And more importantly, Lao Bai's storytelling is as good as ever!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou An's expression contained admiration: "For Chinese audiences, "Mulan" may be a joking version of a traditional story, haha, it almost completely reproduces the "Mulan Ci"
scene; but for European and American audiences, it doesn’t matter even if they don’t know the existence of “The Legend of Mulan”, because the story of the animation itself is very complete and very easy to understand... Okay, I’m going too far.”
When he said this, Zhou An suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "This person is old, and he easily goes astray when he thinks about it.
The important thing about "Hero" is not the costume blockbuster, but the martial arts culture, and the possibility that it and China's most influential film type overseas; and "Mulan" may show a new style to Chinese animators.
There is a possibility: Chinese people can make their own animated blockbusters, and they are Hollywood-level animated blockbusters!
Not to mention Sun Peng himself, many big names in the Chinese film industry are paying attention to these two movies!
For example, Zhou An and Fang Lanshen, even if these two films have nothing to do with them, Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures will never cause trouble for them, because the success of these two films can point out a path for these film giants
!
Will you give it a try in the future and boldly invest money in it?
So thinking of those guys jumping up and down these days, the sarcasm in Zhou An's eyes became even more intense: "So, do you think Lao Bai will tolerate them continuing to talk like this? Even if the impact is not big, it will still make people sad.
Isn’t it disgusting?”
After thinking about what Zhou An said, Gao Runqing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Well... then why is it Wang Dayan?"
"Haha, because he is the most annoying!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Anle said: "I don't know what kind of insane drug this guy took. He has been smearing Lao Bai for the past few years. Why don't they target him? Haha, he is just a paparazzi, but he just made it bigger.
I really thought I could play against the big guys in the industry every day!"
"..."
Just paparazzi?
After listening to Zhou An's words, Gao Runqing was speechless.
Well, in the eyes of small and medium-sized companies, Wang Dayan is staring at you, which is a huge headache, but in the eyes of the big boss, he is just an ordinary paparazzi?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Seemingly finding this topic boring, Zhou An laughed and said: "From the moment Lao Bai decided to deal with him, the outcome was already determined. There is no need to pay attention to this matter. Xiao Gao, let's talk about "Terminator 2"
