I'm just an actor

After being reminded by Yue Guan, Wu Ershan's eyes brightened.

"It seems to be the case. If our movie special effects can be comparable to Hollywood, then even if our commercial special effects blockbusters are not as good as Hollywood's for many years, there is still a little bit of market."

Yue Guan nodded: "In the past, the special effects of domestic movies were not good, and they generally lagged behind Hollywood by at least ten years. Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn't conquer movie fans all over the world, but our special effects technology is no worse than Hollywood's now. Why don't we try to go out?"

It is actually impossible to counterattack the world in a short time or even a long time.

Because watching movies is a kind of inertia.

But it is actually possible to slowly erode the global market and boil frogs in warm water.

Substantially, the future commercial special effects blockbuster domestic films may start to be calculated with the global box office.

Wu Ershan was a little bit excited when Yue Guan said it.

He is a generation younger than Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou's generation of directors, but as a director, no one has a dream of conquering the world.

It's like being a star, but also wanting to be a people's artist.

"When are we leaving?" Wu Ershan couldn't wait.

"Three days later, Director Wu, prepare your personal information and salute, and then we will go together."

"No problem, I'll wait for your message anytime."

People in the entertainment industry like them often go abroad to participate in film festivals, and going abroad has almost become a habit.

When going abroad this time, Yue Guan, the crew of "Feng Shen", did not bring anyone else with him, but Wu Ershan.

Talking about cooperation is not about publicity, and it doesn't make sense to bring more stars.

Of course, Mo Xiangwan would definitely follow.

And Zhang Yin.

Zhang Yin was there to help him. She had worked abroad for several years before, and she had some connections in this regard.

Yue Guan introduced Zhang Yin and Mo Xiangwan to each other, and then the two women got together, as if they were very interested in each other.

Wu Ershan secretly gave Yue Guan a thumbs up.

real tiger.

Even before they are married, they dare to let the two women get in touch with each other in advance.

Wu Ershan is an old gun, so he can naturally see that the two women are inseparable from Yueguan.

In fact, Yue Guan didn't think so much.

This time the trip abroad was just for business, and both Mo Xiangwan and Zhang Yin could help, so naturally they brought them both.

As for other things, why think so much?

The overseas markets of domestic films are mainly Europe and America.

However, the film market in Europe is much smaller than in the Americas. Yue Guan and the others have discussed within the company before that they still tend to sell the overseas copyright of the first part of "Feng Shen" at a one-off price, because only in this way, on other people's territory , will give you the best announcement.

Otherwise, for a foreigner, it is impossible for the other party to use all their distribution channels and resources to cooperate with you, and the influence that "Fengshen" can obtain will definitely be greatly reduced.

The same is true of Hollywood movies coming to China to grab the market. For a while, we can see Hollywood movies frantically released and grabbing the box office frantically. In fact, Hollywood may not necessarily make money.

It is more likely that these Hollywood movies have been bought out by our own people, and all the box office proceeds will go to Longying or other companies.

Everyone plays like this, and Yueguan doesn't expect any exceptions.

The question now is how much it can sell for a buyout price.

Zhang Yin looked at Yueguan: "Yueguan, it's your first time doing business, you have to be prepared, you may not be able to make too much money."

"I know, try my best, and this time I didn't come here to make money. In fact, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning."

If he really wants to make money, he still has to gain a foothold in the country.

Even if the "Feng Shen" series can sell well overseas, in fact, he may not be able to get much money.

But at his level, if you want to make money, you don't need to go through the box office.

Through capital means, the stock price actually makes more money than the box office.

For capitalists, the box office is not their most important thing.

Even for the above, the box office is not the most important thing.

Some illusory influence can actually be exchanged for money and prestige.

So Yueguan came.

Things went much smoother than Yueguan expected.

Because he wants his films to enter the western market, and Hollywood wants his films to enter the eastern market.

In the case of mutual demand, because they are optimistic about the overseas box office potential of the "Fengshen" series and Yueguan, the first part of "Fengshen" was sold at a price that surprised Yueguan.

Chapter 441 The self-cultivation of the coercion [adding more rewards for "Xu Lili"]

When Wu Ershan saw Yueguan signed the contract, his expression was still in a daze.

"That's it...it's done?"

Wu Ershan couldn't believe it.

Many film directors in Longguo wanted to go out, but most of them failed.

Many people were even deceived.

Such as small steel cannons.

He was cheated and scolded his mother directly.

But "Fengshen" took a one-time buyout price, real money, it was impossible to be cheated.

This figure...maybe a lot worse than the total overseas copyright income of the first part of "Fengshen" in the future, but it is already a new record for overseas income of domestic films.

Yue Guan patted Wu Ershan on the shoulder: "Director Wu, we will hold a celebration banquet when we get back, remember to attend."

"Mr. Yue, in fact, we have specially prepared a welcome reception for you. I hope you will appreciate it."

The speaker speaks English.

It was Zhang Yin who translated for Yueguan.

But Yueguan can actually speak English.

But Zhang Yin insisted on translating for him. In Zhang Yin's words, the other party can't speak Mandarin, so you don't need to know English...

This reason... is nonsense, but Yue Guan accepted it.

As for the reason why the other party held a welcome reception for him, Yue Guan could also guess.

It's nothing more than wanting to use myself to open up the domestic market, or to invite myself to play a supporting role in a Hollywood movie, so that it will be easier to operate when I go to Longguo to promote it in the future.

Yue Guan wasn't very interested, but he also knew that this was a normal business practice, so he nodded, "I'll be there on time."

He can be said to be unknown in Hollywood, and there will not be many people who can come, and most of them must be insiders who know something about him.

The other party wanted to cooperate with him, and Yue Guan didn't intend to turn him away.

If you can pick up a leak, it's money.

Moreover, the other party paid such a high price to buy out the overseas copyright of the first part of "Fengshen", Yue Guan also had to give him a little face.

The welcome reception was arranged in the evening.

Mo Xiangwan was not present.

Zhang Yin and Wu Ershan went with him.

Yueguan can speak English, so there is no problem in daily communication. In addition, there is Zhang Yin next to him, so the communication with people at the reception was very smooth, and several cooperations were reached.

Then, Yue Guan saw a very familiar person.

"Why did he come?" Yue Guan asked Zhang Yin.

Zhang Yin followed Yueguan's line of sight to look into the distance, and was a little surprised: "Chris Evans? Captain Ugly Country?"

"Don't call him Captain Ugly in front of his face. I checked his information, and he is actually very disgusted with superhero blockbusters."

Chris Evans, the actor who played the Ugly Captain in the Avengers, and became popular all over the world with the image of Ugly Captain.

This is an amazing actor.

Although the role that made him shine is the superhero character of the comic book, but Chris Evans himself is particularly disgusted with superhero movies.

On the contrary, he likes literary films, and he especially likes to make literary films directed by himself.

In the interview, Chris Evans also outspoken about his distaste for superhero blockbusters.

Before filming "Captain Ugly", he played the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" superhero movie, and then he chose to run away at the European premiere of "Fantastic Four 2"...

Yes, run away.

He later said in an interview: "The reason for these struggles is that I'm always promoting a piece of shit. It's not easy to blow up a movie like this and get people to see it. You Know that you are a big liar, and others will know you are lying."

Ugly version of Wang Chuanjun.

A typical representative of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold mothers, the teacher came from the same school.

Chris Evans also doesn't like Captain Ugly, the role that made him popular all over the world. He thinks this kind of movie has no connotation at all, it will only make him wear tights to show his flesh, and then take his figure , face and ass as selling points.

This is not the movie he wanted.

The movies he wants, just watch the ones he directed and acted in:

Niche literary film!

After seeing Chris Evans, Zhang Yin looked at Yue Guan and said hesitantly, "I remember, you seem to have some thoughts about him?"

Yue Guan smiled slightly: "It's true, so I checked some information on him specially. Yinyin, your cousin's acting skills are almost improved, right?"

"That's it, but he seems quite talented, and he doesn't seem to need high acting skills to make a superhero movie." Zhang Yin said.

"Zhang Zijian is a pure newcomer. Letting him star in a commercial blockbuster with huge investment is very risky. Although I am optimistic, there are indeed risks. Therefore, we must reduce this risk."

Yue Guan put his eyes on Chris Evans, chuckled and said, "He is the one who can help us reduce the risk."

Zhang Yin: "..."

Yue Guan talked to her before, he wanted to pull Chris Evans to play the villain of the first part of the "Yan Shuangying" series - that is, the ugly soldier who took the super serum with Yan Shuangying .

Finally, Yan Shuangying was beaten into the Pacific Ocean.

At that time Zhang Yin thought Yue Guan was joking.

Only now did she realize that Yueguan was serious.

"As long as he has a brain, he won't take this kind of movie, right?" Zhang Yin said speechlessly: "And didn't you say that he doesn't like superhero movies? He doesn't like "Captain Ugly Country", let alone our Porcelain version "Captain Ugly Country"."

"Yinyin, have you ever heard of a word?"

"What word?"

"It's man-made."

Zhang Yin looked at Yue Guan speechlessly: "You are not doing this because of human effort, you are acting against the sky. Don't waste your efforts, Chris Evans is not a fool."

"Then how about we make a bet, I bet Chris Evans will agree to me."

"impossible."

"Then do you bet?"

"What good does it do for me to win?" Zhang Yin asked.

Yueguan released a big bait: "You win, we will get engaged after we go back."

Zhang Yin's eyes lit up.

She glanced at Chris Evans, then at Yueguan, her eyes became tender and tender.

"Are you proposing to me in disguise?"

Yue Guan: "..." What a pity, it doesn't count.

"I agree." Zhang Yin said readily.

She thought that Yueguan was proposing to her.
