Chapter 1113

The celebration banquet is naturally indispensable!

Fan Wencheng can also be said to be proud of his spring breeze, because what he didn't expect was that "Dangerous Couple" won very good results in China, but he didn't expect that it would also get a good box office abroad.

This made Fan Wencheng admire Lin Xiao even more. His family members know their own affairs, and "Dangerous Couple" may indeed have his credit, but more of it is that the script and story ideas are very in line with the taste of the current market.

Although "Dangerous Couple" did not explode in North America, the box office of nearly 2000 million US dollars in the first weekend was enough to make Fan Wencheng proud.

You know, even Yang Hao and the others failed to achieve this kind of achievement, but he, Fan Wencheng, did it with "Dangerous Couple".

Don't talk about worshiping foreigners. The domestic film industry developed more than half a century later than Hollywood. Domestic directors like Fan Wencheng are considered very good directors in China, but they are not satisfactory abroad.

This is why Chinese people praise those Hollywood movies and Hollywood directors so much, because the gap does exist.

As for domestic directors, so far there is only one Lin Xiao's movie, which can kill the world, and can be called a real international director.

Like Fan Wencheng and Yang Hao, although they are well-known in China, their films rarely sell well abroad.

On the one hand, it is because of cultural differences, and on the other hand, there are problems in publicity and distribution, which is the problem of resources.

Most of the time, those foreign distribution companies basically buy out the films in China, and those that can sell for several million dollars are already regarded as sky-high prices.

In fact, they seldom spend a lot of effort on publicity and distribution. After all, publicity and distribution require capital costs, so most domestic movies are usually treated abroad in some theaters within the Chinese community. release.

Then push it directly into the disc market.

Fan Wencheng's "Dangerous Couple" grossed 2000 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America. It can be said that it has released a satellite.

Although the final box office is difficult to exceed 5000 million, even a box office of [-] million US dollars is enough to improve Fan Wencheng's status by a large margin.

After all, that is a beautiful knife!
Lin Xiao was not surprised by this, because "A Dangerous Couple" was originally a Westernized work from another world, so it is not so surprising that it can achieve such results in North America.

But for others, this is not the case.

Especially Fan Wencheng, he was thinking about it. It is impossible to say how superb director skills he showed in "Dangerous Couple".

But why, this movie can be well received by both sides?

The answer is naturally in the script.

Although the domestic box office of "Dangerous Couple" cannot be said to be very good, it is still enough to be considered a big seller.

What really made Fan Wencheng think was the foreign box office. Directors of Fan Wencheng's level are actually not too short of money. For example, "Dangerous Couple" Fan Wencheng's film salary plus investment, at least nearly 2 million yuan.

But it was the same director who really made Fan Wencheng admire Lin Xiao even more. Because of the different scripts, there was such a big gap in the resulting films.

In fact, it can be seen from his experience during this period that although Fan Wencheng did not lack filmmaking and investment in the past, generally speaking, the restrictions are relatively large, and investment is usually not so great. simply.

But since "Dangerous Couple" has received tens of millions of box office in North America, everything has changed.

Therefore, Fan Wencheng certainly hopes to continue to maintain this momentum.

And he has self-knowledge. In terms of familiarity with the domestic market, he thinks he is not bad, but when he goes abroad, his eyes are smeared.

His previous best foreign performance was only worth a few million dollars at the box office.

So, what is the problem?Consider yourself a script!
"Director Fan, congratulations, congratulations!" At the celebration banquet, of course Lin Xiao also came forward to join him.

After all, "A Dangerous Couple" is not only the script provided by Lin Xiao, but also half of the investment in it comes from the High Heaven Pavilion, and the publicity and distribution are all done by the High Heaven Pavilion, so the High Heaven Pavilion also makes a lot of profits.

Moreover, although there are currently three carriages in the High Heaven Pavilion, a director of Fan Wencheng's level is also urgently needed by the High Heaven Pavilion.

It would be nice to work together a few more times.

In fact, there is no shortage of good actors in China, but directors, directors who can make good movies, are the most lacking.

Although Fan Wencheng doesn't seem to be a group of top-level directors, in fact, Fan Wencheng is definitely number one in the field of commercial films.

The point is that Fan Wencheng is not the kind of director who likes to include private goods in movies. For example, this time in "Dangerous Couple", Fan Wencheng restored the script to a large extent.

Switching to other directors may really give you something different, for example, let the hero and heroine kill each other in the end.

Of course, some outsiders questioned that the success of "Dangerous Couple" could not be attributed to Fan Wencheng at all, but to the script, but Fan Wencheng didn't care about it at all.

If you can’t eat grapes, say grapes are sour, so what?

Should his salary increase or not, and Lin Xiao's script is so easy to get?
So far, Lin Xiao has basically not sold any scripts. Most of the time, they are for his own use and for directors under his company's name.

"Same joy, same joy!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"Director Fan, what's your plan next?" Lin Xiao asked tentatively.

"I just can't take it easy, but I don't have a good script yet, so I can only wait." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"Director Fan, why don't we cooperate again?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course that's good. Why do you have a new idea?" Fan Wencheng asked happily.

"That's right. However, unlike "Dangerous Couple", this time, it may cost four to five hundred million yuan to produce the effect of the script." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

On the contrary, Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up.

Great production!Although "Dangerous Couple" can be considered a big production, there is a difference between a big production and a big production.

In fact, there are not many big scenes in "Dangerous Couple", and the most are weapons such as rocket launchers, so the cost is actually not too high.

"This time, props such as airplanes and armed helicopters may be used, as well as a large number of modern weapons." Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.

However, Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "If it was a few years earlier, this might really have troubled me, but it is different now. Now the country is giving great support to the film and television industry. As long as the script is okay, these are not problems."

Lin Xiao nodded, yes, in recent years, everyone seems to be complaining about the power of the scissors, but in fact, domestic support for the film and television industry is not spared.
