Wang Yaocheng took a shower upstairs, changed into casual clothes for home, and walked down with a relaxed look on his face.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. We had a great chat with the old lady. We talked about a lot of embarrassing things about you when you were a child. It felt quite cordial, just like a neighbor's chat." Ms. Qu Wenjuan smiled happily.
Uh...okay!
Wang Yaocheng: "You guys sit down and continue chatting. The three of you will come to the study with me to talk."
"Oh, great!"
Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming, Chen Baixiang's heart skipped a beat and almost jumped for joy.
It's so pitiful that I finally thought of our three brothers.
In the study
"Everyone, feel free to sit down." Wang Yaocheng greeted and sat on the sofa himself.
Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming and Chen Baixiang each sat down and exchanged their glances vaguely, revealing a hint of light.
As a senior practitioner in the Hong Kong film industry, I can clearly feel the decline of Hong Kong films today. Faced with the indiscriminate bombardment of big Hollywood productions, Hong Kong films have been crushed in all directions, and their prospects are bleak.
Hollywood's market is the whole world, while the Hong Kong film market is only Southeast Asia, including Japan and South Korea. Facing this invincible opponent, failure is just around the corner.
With the rise of the Korean film industry and the rise of awareness of cultural protection in Southeast Asian countries, the Hong Kong film industry, which was confined to a corner of Hong Kong Island, lacked profits from overseas distribution and quickly declined.
Hollywood is the dream destination for filmmakers around the world. If you have the opportunity to participate, it will be a new beginning for your career.
This opportunity lies in the hands of this young man with huge wealth.
"What do you think of Hollywood? Can you talk about your understanding of Marvel animation? I'd like to hear it."
Here comes the drama.
Regarding Wang Yaocheng's question, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Baiming and Chen Baixiang were not in a hurry to answer. They were all seasoned veterans and knew the weight of this simple question.
a moment later
Huang Baiming spoke first; "Let me start by saying that Zhiwei, Bai Xiang and I worked in Hollywood for a year. It gave me a completely new feeling. It was completely different from Hong Kong film production and distribution, and the production was more standardized.
To use a metaphor, one is the guerrillas and the other is the regular army.
The soil of Hong Kong films originated in the market, catering to the tastes of the audience and exploring different genres of films, such as zombie films, ghost films, martial arts films, and fairy tale films, which more reflect the direction of free growth and are unique in the world of film circles.
If it can continue to develop, it might not be able to compete with Hollywood.
It is a pity that Hong Kong films are inherently deficient and we were not able to promptly develop the mainland market as a backing. The living space of Hong Kong films has been stifled and there are not many opportunities left.
Hollywood films embody the rigorous industrial assembly line approach, a mature commercial film system that occupies the mainstream of the world's film industry.
They have world-class screenwriters, first-class directors, first-class producers, the best actors, the best special effects and are willing to invest heavily, operate according to strict business rules, and most importantly, own the entire world market.
As long as there is a good script, we can continuously produce large-scale productions that audiences love, with magnificent scenes, amazing special effects, cost-intensive costumes, and first-class sound effects. This also represents a huge investment.
Through my in-depth understanding;
Marvel Animation has thousands of well-known animated characters in European and American society and has good stories, but it lacks the cinematic means to express them.
This includes a lack of shooting techniques, computer special effects, and stereo high-fidelity audio equipment. It seems that the conditions are not met.
Moreover, in existing European and American theater chains, IMAX projection equipment that can display these special effects is too expensive and difficult to popularize, and there are only a few hundred IMAX theaters.
Ordinary screens cannot fully display the film effects of special effects, which is also a big problem restricting the development of Marvel animation. We can only wait for time to change."
After Huang Baiming finished speaking, Wang Yaocheng stared at him deeply, feeling shocked in his heart;
A great guy, definitely a great guy. All he lacks is a stage, a stage for his talent to flourish in Hollywood.
Hehe, I have it!
What he lacks the most is a stage. He can be said to be the biggest stage dealer in this century and even the next century. His talented people have all found suitable stages, including Chambers.
When a talented person meets the right stage, what kind of splendid scenery can bloom, just look at Chambers and Dong Mingzhu to know.
a deep talk
The four of them lost track of time until their stomachs growled... they were hungry.
Wang Yaocheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said with a surprised smile: "This is already a little too much, and I still leave you here chatting. It's really too much. I wonder if the two ladies will have any objections to me?"
"It won't happen. I am a night owl when I work, and my wife has always supported me." Huang Baiming said with emotion; "The in-depth talk with the boss made me deeply moved. I have loved the film industry all my life, and I dream of one day developing in Hollywood. This is
Boss provided me with such a valuable opportunity, thank you so much.”
Wang Yaocheng smiled; "Marvel Studios has been established as a subsidiary company of Marvel Animation. Brother Huang has a long way to go. Through continuous training in the next few years, he can learn more about production and broadcasting experience.
In Hollywood, which faces the whole world, we must firmly remember that we are Chinese, but we cannot just remember that we are Chinese."
"I will firmly remember the boss's instructions."
"good!"
Wang Yaocheng nodded with satisfaction
He has confirmed that Huang Baiming will serve as the senior vice president of Marvel Animation and CEO of Marvel Studios. In the past two years, he first accumulated experience through the production of Hollywood films, became familiar with Hollywood's operating methods, and waited for the time to mature.
Computer special effects are too expensive, and more than half of the Marvel blockbusters with stunning effects are computer special effects. Film producers must balance the shooting costs and cannot lose money and make a profit.
Film companies also want to make money, not charity.
Fortunately, according to Moore's Law, computer technology is advancing rapidly and it will soon be able to meet the expected technical requirements.
After some consideration, Wang Yaocheng decided;
Zeng Zhiwei serves as the head of the production department of Marvel Studios, and Chen Baixiang serves as the head of the music department. These are areas in which they are good at.
If they can adapt to these positions, there will be opportunities for promotion in the future, such as senior vice president of Marvel Studios, president, senior vice president of Marvel Animation...
As for investment, these three senior practitioners in the film industry naturally have professional judgments about whether a film can be a big hit, and basically there won't be too much of a gap.
They have plenty of opportunities to invest in the films produced by Marvel, so there is no need to worry at all.
After this layout, coupled with Pan Shiyi, the senior vice president who controls the financial power of Marvel Animation, these powerful people will definitely bring a lot of their own people to join the company and firmly control the department.
It won't be long before Stan Lee, the CEO of Marvel Animation, will find that except for the animation production department, other departments and subordinate Marvel Studios cannot get in.
If you have some discernment, you should submit your resignation yourself.
