At first, I just wanted to make money

This is called obsession!
In the past, this road was the exclusive right of top domestic celebrities.

Only Jackie Chan, Zhou Runfa, Jet Li, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi can play soy sauce in Hollywood!
Looking at it from the perspective of the last century, "playing soy sauce" in Hollywood can provide actors with more exposure and a better resume, and it is also possible to embark on the Hollywood stardom...

But now and then.

Now there are countless actresses who can make soy sauce in Hollywood blockbusters, and many domestic actresses who are not first-line can also make their faces in Hollywood blockbusters...

The reason is simple, the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, and the mutual demand with Hollywood producers is getting stronger...

In many cases, American film studios request Chinese actors to appear in the film!

Then...more actors appeared in Hollywood blockbusters...

Later, Jiang Wen's appearance in "A Star Wars Story: Rogue One" was regarded as a fall!

It's a normal idea, why do you think Chinese actors want to go to Hollywood?

For artistic achievement?

Obviously not true, because most of the commercial films in which Chinese actors participate are pitifully small, and there is no room for them to play;
For gold?

This possibility is not non-existent, but it is not the main reason. After all, the actors who go to play soy sauce are either domestic superstars or kings of popularity, and the domestic salary is not low;

Then... to open up the international market and increase popularity?

This is even more unreal. At present, the market value of these actors is mainly in China, and they have no appeal abroad at all...

So what about Disney heroines!
Shen Xudong has been in the circle for almost ten years, and he actually understands many things!

Chinese stars enter Hollywood to participate in blockbuster movies, the original intention is to "plate themselves with gold", increase exposure, and gather popularity and traffic for themselves...

But traffic should not be the only pursuit of an actor, otherwise he can become an Internet celebrity or a "blanket star", and there is no need to engage in a "thankless" career such as acting.

As an actor, you should have several masterpieces and representative roles close to you, and this is something that soy sauce cannot give you.

However, since Fan Xiaopang insisted on this, Shen Xudong happened to have "The Martian" in his hand, in which there was a female official of the China Space Administration...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "3000 million US dollars, a high-quality Hollywood production, I can arrange for you to invest and play a role in it!"

"…high quality?"

"The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon, is one of Warner's key projects for next year!"

Fan Xiaopang immediately asked: "Then I am the protagonist?"

"No..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "You probably don't understand what high-quality resources are. The so-called high-quality means to focus on promotion and global release... It is impossible for such projects to use Asian protagonists!"

"...Then let me think about it..."

"You think about it as soon as possible, I will go to the United States to prepare for this project next month!"

By the way, "The Martian" is really good, and the main original work is well written - the original author, Andy Weir, wrote this novel in 2011, and the honeymoon period of globalization has not yet faded, although some parts are still not safe , but the global mainstream public opinion generally believes that tomorrow will be better. When director Ridley Scott made this film, he did not use any subversive techniques. Twist!

Shen Xudong won the copyright of "The Martian" last year. This year's filming cost 9000 million US dollars. Warner controlled the investment and distribution, accounting for 5000 million US dollars. The remaining 4000 million US dollars, Shen Xudong wanted...

He originally planned to ask Tianmei to pay the money, but now that Fan Xiaopang is interested, he will give her an investment of 50 million US dollars at a premium of 2000%...

To explain, the so-called premium investment means higher than the market price.

Look, Ridley Scott, the director of "The Martian", is a major director in Hollywood, and the producer, Warner Bros., is also one of the top six in Hollywood. Isn't such an investment opportunity very rare?

A 50% premium is considered an introduction fee!
A 2000% premium on $50 million is $3000 million...

Of course, the price difference in the middle belongs to Shen Xudong!

As for where Fan Xiaopang got the 3000 million US dollars, that's not his concern!
You want to enter Hollywood yourself, how can it be possible without paying a price?

Just art exchange is not enough!
……

"Why Shengxiaomo" really deserves to be a big IP, with a box office of 4994 million on the first day, directly interrupting "Titanic 3D"'s single-day box office championship for 22 consecutive days...

The next day, it went up to a higher level and got a box office of 5700 million.

That's right, it broke [-] million in two days.

The box office on the third day was 4800 million—the box office of "Super Battleship" on the first day was 1801 million...

On the fourth day, that is, May 5, the single-day box office was 3 million;
On the fifth day, May 5th, the single-day box office received another 4 million...

That's right, it passed 2.18 million in five days, and it was [-] million...

The industry was completely speechless!
Everyone is promoting the arrival of Hollywood Tigers—"Beijing News" and "Southern Metropolis Daily" even launched a column "Chinese Films Against Hollywood: Standing Even if You Die"...

He vowed: before and after May 10st, three Hollywood super blockbusters landed in China, namely the 3D version of "Titanic", which is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan in the box office in the mainland, the sci-fi blockbuster "Super Battleship" with the largest investment in Hollywood this year, and the upcoming The superhero movie "The Avengers", which will be released simultaneously with North America on May 5th...

In the face of the unshakable three Hollywood giants, domestic films have not remained silent. Five domestic young directors collectively brought their new works to the battle, and were called "death squads" by the industry.They are: Guan Hu, "Killing Life"; Wang Xiaoshuai, "I 5"; Zhang Yang, "Flying Over the Nursing Home"; Yang Shupeng, "Everyman";

Then analyze the reasons why Hollywood is invincible...

Extremely pessimistic...

Then, "Why Shengxiaomo" 1.5 million in three days, surpassing "Super Battleship"...

That's too much. How can we, the media, brag about Hollywood?
The cost of "Why Shengxiaomo" is 3500 million, in which the male and female protagonists are both registered producers, and each enjoys 5% of the box office dividend...

Originally everyone thought that even if there was a TV drama foundation, at most it would be similar to "Carry Love to the End", with a box office of [-] million...

1.5 million in three days, [-] million in five days...

Slap on the face!

What is even more speechless is that the word-of-mouth of "Why Shengxiaomo" is not very good - Douban scored 6.4 points, Mtime.com scored 6.3 points...

Unanimous evaluation: The plot is too plain. It can be seen that the adaptation has done its best, but the effect is still a very jumping MV romance...

But... it was a blockbuster!
Even on May 5th, "Reunion" was released, and "Why Shengxiaomo" had a single-day box office of 5 million...

Of course, the box office on the first day of "Reunion" was 6218 million.

For the first time, Marvel movies showed their power in China. Even if they collapsed later, Marvel is still a Hollywood representative commercial film with a stable global box office!

"Reunion" surpassed "Why Shengxiaomo", which made many media breathe a sigh of relief-Hollywood is really invincible!

So, a bunch of media came again: "Chinese-language films have collapsed across the board. Is the gap between us and Hollywood just the film industry?" ", "Why are domestic films unable to resist Hollywood? ", "Facing the gap between Chinese and American films..."

Horse riding, where are there so many reflections?
