In fact, one of the most uncomfortable things about the review department is that if the review fails, they don't directly tell you the reason. They just use some clichés to deal with you, so that you don't know how to change it.
Han Fei took the script and found the leader: "No, leader, what's wrong with this script? You have to give us a direction, right?"
"You." The leader shook his head: "Last time I just praised you for being sensible, why can't you understand it this time? Why don't you blur the background? Look at your script. The first thing you can do to spread the virus.
If we can't pass our country's prevention and control measures, can a small virus spread? Secondly, the police here are so useless that they can't even deal with a group of gorillas. How can we protect the people?"
Uh... What you said makes sense. I was speechless. Han Fei suddenly realized. The main reason is that the original "War for the Planet of the Apes" was set in the United States and was also released in China. Therefore, Han Fei
I subconsciously forgot about it.
"Hey, look what's going on, I'll go back and change it right away." After Han Fei finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Come back." The leader stopped him: "You are just a fool. You are already thirty years old, and you are one of the ten outstanding young people in Beijing. Ahem, I mean, you can do this movie
Set the background in the United States..."
Han Fei was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately. Let’s not talk about the censorship issue. It can be seen from "The Wandering Earth" that no matter how good the current Chinese-language movies are, they cannot really enter the eyes of the North American public. They are so arrogant.
Thinking that only Hollywood movies are worth buying a ticket to watch can be said to be arrogant or cultural pride.
Just like during the Han and Tang Dynasties, when all nations came to the dynasty, the Tang people and the Han people would face the Westerners with a proud attitude, and even unanimously named them Semu people and Hu people. This is cultural superiority.
Except for a few supporting characters, the leading actors in "The Wandering Earth" all have Eastern faces. Naturally, Americans don't bother to view this work from an equal perspective.
If you want to really break into the North American market, the best way is to go to Hollywood and find Hollywood stars to star in it. No one cares whether the team behind a film is from China or the United States. What North American audiences care about is just the oriental face on the screen.
Still has a Western face.
The leader was dumbfounded after hearing what Han Fei said. He just wanted Han Fei to lend the movie to create some public opinion there, but it turned out that this kid actually wanted to go to Hollywood to film this movie...
In this case, the background can just use the original one. After Han Fei returned to the company, he called everyone into the conference room again and announced his intention to go to Hollywood.
"Damn it, it can't be true, can it?"
"That's awesome, are we really going to Hollywood?"
Suddenly there was a burst of howling in the conference room. For all film practitioners, what does Hollywood mean? The most cutting-edge industrial system, the most famous directors, actors, everything about movies will be satisfied there, movies all over the world
When practitioners mention Hollywood, they are more or less envious.
In fact, there is another important reason why Han Fei chose to go to Hollywood, that is, the technical reserves of "Tiangong" in three-dimensional motion capture are not enough to support the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and they need the help of Hollywood's top special effects studios.
Of course, it would be best to recruit some talents there. If this is not possible, it would be good to let the technicians of "Tiangong" steal their lessons to improve their abilities.
Now that the decision was made, it was natural to start making preparations. Jiang Qinghou and the others began to revise the script, while Han Fei contacted Chris.
The CEO of the American Cinedigm Group has been very proud of himself recently. "The Wandering Earth" has brought him not only the profit from the share, but also many independent films have come to him for help in distribution. The business volume has more than tripled.
This is how it is in Hollywood, the more famous you are, the richer you will be.
"Hey, man, why did you think of calling me? Aren't you celebrating the New Year there?" Chris was lying on the beach chair, basking in the sun, a little lazy.
Han Fei said half-jokingly: "No, man, the New Year has passed long ago, and I'm here to ask for the account."
"Oh, man, you are much more direct than other Chinese people, but the DVD and online platforms have just been launched, so you may not be able to get the money for the time being." Chris cursed secretly. Damn it, aren't all Chinese people ashamed to talk?
Is it money? The box office share is a lot of money.
"Don't be nervous, my old friend. The money will be left with you for now. When I come to the United States, you can just transfer it to me in person."
"Oh, well, that's great, I mean it's a good idea...when are you coming?"
"next week."
"Oh, hell."
As a joke, Han Fei told Chris his true purpose. Chris was stunned on the spot: "What? You mean you want to come to Hollywood to develop?"
"No, to be precise, I am coming to Hollywood to make a movie. I need to register a film company. Of course, this movie can also be distributed by you, but I hope to get Hollywood-level treatment instead of
A 3/7 share contract." Han Fei said seriously.
"are you serious?"
"why not?"
After hanging up the phone, Chris stood up and paced back and forth. He felt that he needed to calm down. Han Fei had too much information on the phone.
In fact, he has no doubt that the guy wants to come to Hollywood to develop, because the best film talents in the world will eventually go to Hollywood. After all, this is the film dream factory.
It's just that this time seems a bit too early. That guy has only succeeded in one movie. To be precise, he has no reputation, so is he inflated?
Well, Hollywood has never lacked talent. Geniuses from so many countries around the world had amazing works before coming to Hollywood, but not many can really stay. They either can't win the favor of investors, or they messed up.
The movie was quickly forgotten.
In Chris's view, the success of "The Wandering Earth" does not mean that Han Fei has conquered the North American market. If the appearance of a Chinese-language film were removed, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" in North America would be at least half less.
And Chris doesn't think that Han Fei will be able to make another film like "The Wandering Earth". It's something that can only be met but not sought. It's a sudden flash of genius.
Of course, Chris is still happy to help Han Fei register the film company. Maybe when it goes bankrupt, this guy can sell it to him at a low price?
"Sister Yan, I need a translator. I need to stay in the United States for a while, be familiar with the spoken language, and preferably also understand some American laws. This trip to the United States is very important to me, so...
