Ye Ming actually said that he wanted to make a movie, which no one expected.
It's not that they didn't think of a solution to the problem, but they didn't expect Ye Ming to come up with such a solution.
In fact, the most effective way is to let the relevant departments above issue orders.
Everyone also thought of this and thought that the market situation in the mainland was actually like this. But no one thought of the same thing as Ye Ming.
Therefore, even Wang Zhongjun was quite curious about this matter at this time. He said without thinking: "Mr. Ye, this matter sounds a bit unreliable to me.
Do you think that making a movie can solve the problem? If things were so easy, you and everyone here would be able to accomplish this at this time.
Moreover, if this matter can be solved by a movie, then we don’t have to be so anxious to get together, as we still haven’t determined a good solution to the problem.”
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I understand what Mr. Wang means. Movies, generally speaking, do not have a big influence.
Just like in our country, when we shoot movies every year, the number of movies thrown into the film library is three digits, and not many of them are actually commercially available. But what I am talking about is the kind of big movies, super movies.
Even if the box office is not as strong as Titanic, it still has to achieve very high results. My goal is that even if it cannot enter the top three in the international box office rankings, it must be in the top five.
The movie I want to talk about [The Approaching Dimension] is a super big movie, a super science fiction movie.
We want the leaders above to intervene in this matter. There is no problem with this. Anyway, how much is divided is a problem between us and the theater chain. Movies that should pay taxes also have to pay taxes. Therefore, the leaders above will not have any objection to this.
But tell me, at a time like this, why would our leaders help us? We always have to give our leaders an excuse to help us.
As for a super big movie, one is that it can enhance the status of our country's movies in the entertainment industry and the status in the world's entertainment industry.
Speaking of the top five box office hits, one of them is from our country. You see, even if we filmmakers go to international film festivals, it is a very honorable thing.
This is something that will greatly increase the country’s prestige. Therefore, as long as we have a movie like this as a trump card, don’t you think the leaders above will help us increase our share of the movie’s box office?”
After saying this, everyone was speechless for a while. It was indeed true. If it was really what Ye Ming said, then at this time, the matter would actually be very likely to succeed.
Wang Zhongjun is a businessman. Although he is also a filmmaker, Wang Zhongjun is more like a businessman.
It is very normal for businessmen to value profits over separation.
Therefore, when Wang Zhongjun looks at something, the first thing he needs to think about is whether it can bring him enough profits.
If you can, that's no problem. You must do it resolutely. If there are no conditions, you will still have to create conditions.
Therefore, after hearing what Ye Ming said, he immediately continued: "Mr. Ye really dares to think about a movie that ranks among the top five at the global box office.
Apart from anything else, how many movies can we have that have the highest box office in our country now? There is not even one movie in our country that has entered the top 100.
If you want to enter the top five at once, it is almost impossible. In fact, in our country, the best and most influential Kung Fu movies are basically Cheng Long’s Peak Hour.
But there are no blockbusters there. Except for kung fu films and some literary films, the films produced in our country basically do not have much influence internationally.
I won’t talk about the box office of literary and artistic films. As a filmmaker yourself, you should know that literary and artistic films generally have good reputations but poor box office. There are only a handful of them that can have both good reputations and box office.
And you should be aware that there are only a few literary and artistic films that can truly enter the top 100 in the world. As for except kung fu films, what else can we compete with Hollywood films?
The movie you mentioned should be a science fiction film. What good results can China produce in science fiction films? You want to surpass most Hollywood works and enter the top five. I have no objection to this matter, but I think it is relatively
Difficult.
This is a gap in the entire film industry, and it cannot be made up for in a short time."
Although Wang Zhongjun is indeed against Ye Ming, on this issue, it is also true. The most influential Chinese movies should be kung fu movies.
Just like when everyone thinks of Chinese movies, their first impression is Kung Fu movies. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are the representative figures among them.
But if you want to talk about entering the top five at the global box office, then this is basically impossible.
Later, the Chinese movie, Wolf Warrior 2, reached the top 100 box office in the world due to the right time, place and people, which was basically the box office performance of China's own country.
This is extremely unparalleled and unprecedented. There may be others in the future, but it will certainly not be easy.
As for that time in 2007 and 2008, Ye Ming might have wanted Chinese films to be among the top five in the world.
Such box office results seemed to people on the scene not to be a satellite, but to be a spacecraft.
This is because the people at the scene are all big shots in the entertainment industry. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be more surprised.
Ye Ming explained unhurriedly: "Things are not as bad as everyone thinks. Don't think that science fiction movies are the exclusive preserve of Hollywood.
Of course, the science fiction films we shoot in China are just more love movies under the guise of science fiction films. They are also called science fiction films, which are ridiculous.
Chinese audiences can't be fooled, let alone go abroad to fool them. In fact, science fiction films are one of the most borderless films. Basically, they can be released in any country.
The premise is that there are movie theaters in that country. Therefore, science fiction movies are actually the easiest to get results.
Of course, what I'm talking about is that the special effects technology should be good, not the kind of 50-cent stunts, not to mention the stunts that can't fool even the Chinese audience.
At this point, we, Huihuang Film and Television, should be able to help.
One thing I have to say is the script, it must be a thoughtful one, and the logical reasoning must be reliable. It is best to ask an expert to supervise it, and don't look for a script that is obviously a brain-dead and bloody plot.
If this is the case, then we will be able to increase the box office.
"The Approaching Dimension" is a very good movie that I polished. If you add the special effects of our brilliant film and television, then I think there is no problem in the top ten. If it is in the top five, then as long as everyone supports me
, it is not impossible to have an impact.
Movies are not exclusive to Hollywood, and we will definitely be able to make good movies."
Anyway, to put it simply, this matter requires everyone’s support. I can’t do it alone. Don’t expect me to handle this matter alone.
Feng Xiaogang glanced at Ye Ming thoughtfully and said: "There is no problem in helping. We are here to solve the problem, but since we are talking about making money, why don't you do it alone.
From what I know about you, if you have the opportunity to eat alone, you will definitely not give it up.
Ye Zi, we have known each other for such a long time, but you have always behaved like this."
Ye Ming laughed loudly and said: "Director Feng, if you know some things, forget it, don't say them out loud, it will make me so embarrassed.
Actually, I didn't plan to say this at first. Because I really wanted to make this movie.
After all, I am not ready yet. There are some things that you must plan in advance.
Also, the current technology has some limitations on this movie.
I think if it is a year from now and the technology and everything else are almost there, then I think it will be a more mature opportunity to shoot "The Approaching Dimension" on something like this.
This is not the case. Now that you see nothing better, I will release this movie. Therefore, I need everyone to support me.
Only if everyone supports me, then I will have no worries.
Otherwise, you say, I can do this myself, so why should I involve you? Wouldn't it be better for me to make money myself?"
In a word, what Ye Ming said is very direct, that is to say, I am not ready, so I need you to support me, otherwise I will play alone again in a year?
This reason can be regarded as a relatively helpless thing.
But more people also know what kind of person Feng Xiaogang is, and know that he and Ye Ming have a close relationship. Since Feng Xiaogang said so, Ye Ming must be this kind of person.
After hearing this, Wang Zhongjun said: "There is no problem in helping. Helping you means helping yourself. As long as the box office share can be increased, even if it is increased by one percentage point, it is good."
But we can’t help in vain, we also need to invest in it.”
This is businessman, the first thing to consider is the issue of profit. And this matter is to the point, we can help, but we must make money together.
After all, it was Ye Ming who promised to be among the top five in the global box office. Needless to say, everyone knew that he would definitely make a lot of money. Ye Ming agreed without hesitation, but also said that he would not talk about it until after the New Year. After all, Huihuang Film and Television and
Future Film and Television is also busy with the two works of Let’s Run and Ode to Joy.
If he was busy with other things, it would mean that he was a little too busy. Moreover, in fact, Ye Ming did not mean that he just wanted to make a movie.
Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhongjun and others are actually very clear about the fact that a billion-dollar movie, and it is calculated in US dollars, the investment must not be low. If Ye Ming said that he would shoot it right away, then they old foxes must know that Ye Ming is perfunctory.
them.
The cycle of any super big movie is calculated in years. From planning, project preparation, shooting to screening, there is a gap of two or three years. That is very normal, and three to five years will also happen at the same time.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Ye Ming to say that there is no plan. How to cooperate next needs to be discussed in detail.
After coming out, Ye Ming directly found Director Wang Fulin. He didn't want to find Director Wang, but actually he had to come. If he didn't come, it would be impossible.
At this time, Ye Ming said with a dark face: "Director Wang, this is because you are being unkind. Didn't you say that after I complete this task, the rest will have nothing to do with me?"
Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
After the chip was integrated, Ye Ming felt that he was indeed a lot smarter. This time he could feel the threat of the dimensional world, which was the result of the latest upgrade.
Ye Ming naturally wanted to come to Director Wang about this matter.
Director Wang Fulin said helplessly: "Ye Ming, actually I also think that if you bring the chip here, then it won't be a big deal?
But think about it, what does it mean that Simon Ford can come over and steal our chips? It means that there are indeed people over there who can come over.
Therefore, the influence of the dimensional world on us has always existed.
And it’s not just about that dimensional world, other dimensional worlds will definitely have an impact on us, but the degree of impact may be different.
Where do you think Bermuda is? It is actually a small dimensional influence. It is just that the influence is not big, and it is studied as a scientific mystery. In fact, the influence of the dimensional world has always existed from ancient times to the present.
The Great Wall, the Pyramids, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are all influenced by the dimensional realm.
Therefore, you said that the dimension you visited will continue to have an impact on us, which is absolutely possible.
Unless we can truly close the channel to that dimension."
Ye Ming has been to the dimensional world, so he shook his head and said: "According to our current technological level, it is impossible, impossible to close the dimensional channel.
Originally, I thought that the dimensional world actually had illusory elements, but I was able to bring out the chip and super card inside, which means that the people inside can also come out.
Don't say you can't control this matter. We are in a three-dimensional world here. How can we be affected by the two-and-a-half-dimensional world?
Is this impact long-lasting or temporary, or how much impact does it have on our real life?”
Ye Ming didn't know anything about this, so he naturally wanted to ask Wang Fulin.
Wang Fulin shook his head and said: "I can't explain illusion and reality clearly. What I can understand is that this dimensional world is definitely not ordinary.
Ye Ming, this time, we seem to have a bigger problem with Mafa. In the past, we were active, but this time, we are passive. Isn’t it difficult to handle?"
