After what Ye Ming said, it can be said that he woke up the dreamer. Lucas himself could not imagine that this situation would happen. Hollywood would never allow such a thing to happen...
Lucas, with an incredible expression on his face, finally sighed and said: "I see, I understand. It seems that the Chinese film market has a long way to go. If you don't know how to protect yourself, it will be difficult to develop."
As a great director, Lucas knows very well how to protect his intellectual property rights, otherwise he would not be able to compete with the glory of Star Wars.
Therefore, he abhorred this kind of infringement of intellectual property rights. Even in the far east, it would be intolerable to him at this time. Lucas said angrily: "As directors and actors, you, as directors,
Even if they are your government officials, why don't you care at this time? I know that some of your film workers have official backgrounds, and they should stand up to protect their legitimate rights and interests."
I have to say that these words are too naive. They are hopelessly naive. Ye Ming laughed and said: "Director Lucas, you are imagining this matter too simply. This is not as simple as you think."
It’s just one thing. At this time, what we think about is to develop the box office first. Only when the box office increases, more people will make movies, more people will watch movies, and our Chinese movies will have a good future.
, Otherwise, if we don’t have anyone to play movies at this time, what kind of development will there be? What we need is to get the scale out first, and then we can talk about other things.”
It’s hard to say whether this is a tragedy for the film markets of other countries, but it is a tragedy for the Chinese film market.
Lucas said thoughtfully: "Maybe. In fact, even if we talk about Hollywood, it was not just the eight giants at the beginning. It went through a very cruel elimination to get to this situation."
Hollywood should actually thank Edison. Edison threatened everyone with patent law, and some people came to Hollywood. There is no patent law in Chinese movies. Patent law in China can be said to be a joke. However, China has a piracy market, which is the most powerful.
piracy market.
Ye Ming said with full confidence: "Actually, we should look in a good direction. As you can see, Director Lucas, there is a huge film market in China. We must first cultivate the audience. I believe
, the dawn of our Chinese movies will come in the future. At this time, it is just a little darkness before the dawn. "Chinese movies will usher in a blowout in the next ten years. This is definitely
A miracle created by Chinese films.
Lucas then said helplessly: "Maybe, actions determine the results. Everything depends on actions," although Lucas believed Ye Ming's words very much, and believed what Ye Ming said at this time was the biggest emerging movie industry in the world.
market potential.
But all this has nothing to do with him. [Star Wars: The Phantom Menace] is destined to suffer a disaster. This is something he doesn't want to see, but it is also something he can't do anything about. Everything is possible, this is the movie
, a wise old man like Lucas understands very well that his countrymen came at the wrong time. If it had been later in the year, then things like this might have had a different result. But in this world
There is no if.
After the banquet, Fan Binbin said with some frustration: "Brother Ming, isn't this the international director you are talking about? That kind of powerful momentum makes me unable to say a word. Originally, I still thought about working with Director Lucas
We took a group photo, but when we saw Lao Lu, he couldn't say a word."
Fan Binbin was very dissatisfied with his performance today. He was obviously very ambitious before coming here, but in the end it was all in vain.
Ye Ming didn't think Fan Binbin had anything to be depressed about, and comforted her and said: "Actually, your performance is already very good. Besides, there will be opportunities in the future, and I believe that Lucas will come to me again.
I will take you to play with me then, and maybe you will perform well in private."
Fan Binbin's eyes widened. He simply couldn't believe this was true: "Brother Ming, are you kidding me? Even Zhang Yimou wouldn't dare to say that. Lucas will go find you, what are you kidding me about?"
Ye Ming didn't explain anything. In fact, this matter requires no explanation and cannot be explained clearly. Therefore, he is too lazy to explain at this time. With his own predictions about the box office of Star Wars, Lucas will definitely do it at this time.
When it comes to myself, even the big Hollywood directors love to care about their own box office. After the box office comes out the next day, a million dollar box office is still very tempting.
Lucas actually found Ye Ming and said: "Dear Ye, maybe your worries are unnecessary. My movies are still quite marketable and the box office has reached this level, which means that everyone is still very willing to come into the cinema to see me.
Movie." Seeing that the box office of the movie exceeded his expectations, Lucas was as happy as a child.
But Ye Ming poured a basin of cold water on him and said, "Do you also believe this about Director Lucas?"
Lucas said with a smile: "Ye, it is undeniable that you have a very clear insight into Chinese movies, but I also have to believe that great movies have no national boundaries. I think Star Wars should be regarded as a great movie."
work,;"
Ye Ming did not deny this at all, nodding and saying: "No one can deny the greatness of Star Wars. There is no doubt about this, but sometimes you have to see the objective reality clearly.
Objectively speaking, the box office of this movie is watery."
If Ye Ming told the truth, Lucas couldn't believe it. He said with a suspicious look on his face: "This is your official movie box office data. Are you saying that you are also deceiving your own people?"
From Lucas's perspective, since the data is officially investigated by China, at least its authority should not be a problem.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. Who said the official data can't be fake? As long as they know it's fake, there will be no problem. Our movie box office data has a certain
It’s a way to fool the audience.”
In fact, if Ye Ming is not very clear about the final data of Star Wars, then at this time he himself cannot believe that this is the truth. In fact, the official data of China Movie Box Office is indeed possible to falsify, Lu
Cass asked: "I don't understand if you have any basis for what you said. If you mean to deceive the audience, then why do you say this?"
Yes, does this matter matter? Lucas has a big doubt in his mind. Ye Ming nodded and said with certainty: "It must be true. New Film Alliance has spent a lot of money to introduce Star Wars.
Ah. But how is the box office? Everything is very clear. New Film Alliance needs a data to explain to the audience, because when they introduce Hollywood blockbusters, they must have a number of results to clearly explain to the audience. And even the leaders also want New Film Alliance to explain it to the audience.
The federation has an explanation that it cannot be justified without a good box office. Therefore, a set of gorgeous data is actually quite important."
Lucas felt that he could not understand such a magical country. He very much hoped to understand this great and mysterious country. However, when he felt that he was trying to make Guiyang understand this ancient oriental country, he realized that he was wrong.
It was so outrageous. He knew so little about this country. Lucas thought for a while and said: "But it's impossible for your leader not to see that this is fraud. Why do people from the New Film Alliance still behave like this?"
Do it, don’t you always do what the leader wants?”
Ye Ming didn't expect that Lucas had a certain understanding of China, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, it's not wrong, but our leaders also need to give an explanation to the audience, so a set of gorgeous data is actually a leader
It's just what's needed, it's just that simple." At this time, Lucas was a little doubtful, and he began to feel a little unconfident about his data, so Ye Ming's words at this time shook his happy mood.
At this moment, Lucas said with some struggle: "These are all your theories. Without actual evidence, theories will always be just theories. I hope to see the actual situation." Ye Ming thought for a while and said:
"Actually, this is very easy. We just go to see it. Everyone can go to the cinema. Cinemas have always been the most direct way to reflect the problem,"
During the private interview incognito, Lucas hesitated and said: "This is a direct explanation of the problem, but if I go, is it appropriate?"
Lucas obviously knows that his identity is relatively sensitive, and if he is recognized, it will be difficult to handle.
Ye Ming had an idea and thought about it. He couldn't help but smile and said: "This is very easy. If we are going to watch Star Wars, then there will be no problem in dressing up as Jedi Knights. No one will recognize us.
.”
This is naturally normal. If you go to see Star Wars, it is very normal to dress up as a Star Wars character. No one will doubt it. Lucas's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "This is not bad, in person
It's good to experience it." Ye Ming immediately said: "Let's find a little girl to be the queen, and this one will be even more perfect." Queen, the position of queen naturally belongs to Fan Binbin, and if I agree to this little girl, I must do it.
Otherwise, the little girl will think about it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
