This star is too fierce

Chapter 434 They will be the bad guys, we will be the good guys

Besides actors, is Zhang Sheng the only filmmaker who has gone abroad?

Obviously not!

Directors such as Jiang Bin and Zhang Wen are also well-known in the international film circle.

In addition, there are many photographers and art directors in China who are also well-known internationally.

What Jiang Bin said actually meant the same thing: Zhang Sheng is the only Chinese-language film that has truly gone abroad and gone international.

Of course, these words are actually somewhat flattering and biased.

If it's only about box office or influence, then naturally.

You can go to Xiangjiang Movies' Kung Fu movies, etc., and they are also selling very well abroad.

Have a loyal fan base.

It's just that the group is not very large.

The investment is not big, the box office is not bad, is it considered going abroad?

"When are you going to Hollywood?"

Jiang Bin suddenly asked about Zhang Sheng.

The others looked at Zhang Sheng in surprise, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Sheng is now considered one of the leading figures in Chinese-language movies.

What if he went to Hollywood?
Chinese-language movies are indeed not as good as Hollywood, but such a leading figure is still running towards Hollywood, so the impact is not that great.

Li Zhenguo, Fang Long and others went to Hollywood because the mainland film market did not rise, while Xiangjiang Films declined.

They can only go to Hollywood.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

But now it's different!

Chinese-language films are booming. Did Fang Long and many other filmmakers in Hollywood choose to return to China?

People like Zhang Sheng should stay in China and bring Chinese films to the world.

Zhang Sheng is undoubtedly the best candidate to bring Chinese-language films to the world.

And he did a good job at it.

But if you go to Hollywood
"I haven't thought about it yet!" Zhang Sheng said, "There are also two voices in the company. One is to acquire a Hollywood company with distribution channels, and the other is to invest in Lion King Pictures."

Zhang Guohua and others were stunned when they heard this.

Where is Zhang Sheng going to Hollywood, why is Changsheng Entertainment going to Hollywood, okay?

However, it seems understandable to think about it.

The development of Changsheng Entertainment in China has basically fallen into a bottleneck.

Then it's a matter of course to go to Hollywood.

After all, Hollywood films are aimed at the global film market.

Once Changsheng Entertainment goes to Hollywood and has a firm foothold, then Changsheng Entertainment also means going international.

Domestic film and television companies and Hollywood film and television companies, which one is easier to become an international film and television company?

Needless to say.

Changsheng Entertainment wants to develop into Hollywood, because it wants to break out of the domestic framework and wants to be the world's top film and television company.

Is it difficult?

Naturally difficult.

Is it possible?

It might be difficult for other people to say, but for Zhang Sheng, it is really possible.

However, Zhang Guohua and others did not ask more questions.

So is Jiang Bin.

How Changsheng Entertainment does it involves some layout of the company.

Whether it is buying a Hollywood film and television company like Penglai Group, or trying to buy some shares of Lion King Films from Penglai Film and Television, each has its own difficulties and pros and cons.

"Kung Fu Panda" swept the world and became the most dazzling movie in the summer.

Not only at home, but also abroad.

The Hollywood blockbusters that were released were all suppressed by this movie.

Whether it's box office or popularity.

A Chinese-language animation film swept the world and became the highest-grossing film in the world this summer.

At the beginning of September, the film was released one after another around the world.

It has been released in China for nearly two months, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 40 billion.

Ranked fourth at the domestic box office.

The box office is not as good as "Nezha", but it is also amazing.

The North American box office broke [-] million U.S. dollars.

Other countries and regions except North America have won more than 4 million US dollars at the box office.

Another Chinese-language film with a box office of more than one billion US dollars.

The global box office is nearly double that of "Nezha".

However, the film's profits are not limited to box office.

Movie peripherals sell well all over the world and are very profitable.

"We're getting married soon, why don't you still come to the company?" Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Qi and said, "Do you still want to work?"

Yang Qi and his girlfriend got married at the end of September, but Zhang Sheng met him in the company from time to time.

"It's nothing, just come to the company to have a look." Yang Qi said with a smile.

Now he is not only an animation film director, but also one of the heads of the animation department of Changsheng Entertainment.

However, he doesn't need to be on duty like other responsible persons.

"By the way!" Zhang Sheng said, "What are your thoughts on the next movie?"

"Thoughts?" Yang Qi froze for a moment, then said, "Director Zhang, why don't you give me two more movies to practice? I still have a lot of shortcomings."

"Ok!"

Zhang Sheng nodded, he naturally understood what Yang Qi meant.

"If you have any ideas, you can communicate with the screenwriting department." Zhang Sheng said, "When you think it's okay, you can test the waters first."

"it is good!"

Yang Qi nodded and said.

Zhang Sheng is still very clear about his ability.

However, he is not without flaws.

Like screenwriters.

In addition to animated films, Changsheng Entertainment's animation department is also producing animations.

"Joyful and Big Big Wolf" is now on the air, Zhang Sheng doesn't know whether it will be popular all over the country like the original version.

Still, that animation doesn't cost much.

If it is really popular all over the country, you can also make a lot of money from the peripherals of the movie.

In addition, "Bear Infested" is also in production.

Compared with animated movies, the production cost of these cartoons is much smaller.

Of course, these cartoons are not written by Zhang Sheng, but by the screenwriting department.

Zhang Sheng just came up with an idea.

Zhang Sheng has not considered what to make in the next animation film.

However, to participate in the investment of two more promising animated films.

Just not much investment.

Compared with "Kung Fu Panda", the odds are nothing.

"Is "Kung Fu Panda 2" not filming for the time being?" Yang Qi asked.

Is there a second part?

you still need to ask?

I dug a hole, and the box office is so explosive
Ok.

There must be, the question is only when to shoot.

"Wolf Warrior 2" has been going on for so long, and there is no movement in "Wolf Warrior 3".

Netizens are called "lifetime".

"Kung Fu Panda" should not be able to, right?
After all, this movie is more profitable than the "Wolf Warrior" series.

Not just at the box office, but also around the movie.

"No hurry!" Zhang Sheng said, "The film's influence has not yet reached its peak."

The video has just been uploaded, and then landed on major video sites around the world.

Then the number of people who have seen this movie will naturally increase.

The same goes for people who love this movie.

Those who didn't watch the first movie in theaters, if they like this movie, will naturally go to the theater to watch the second movie when it is released.

Of course, Zhang Sheng is not in a hurry to make the second part, mainly because there are many animations that can be made.

So what to shoot next?

After chatting with Yang Qi for a few words, Zhang Sheng made a decision after thinking about it.

"Kung Fu Panda" became a big hit, and the peripherals of the movie were also very profitable, which gave Zhang Sheng a taste of the sweetness.

So, he immediately thought of "Despicable Me" for the next movie!
For no other reason, it was purely thinking of the "Minions".

The little yellow man has traveled all over the world, and he has bought them in his previous life.

And it's a series of movies.

If you add the "Minions" series, there are two.

And the box office is very good.

Are there other better options?
Who knows.

The movie popped up in Zhang Sheng's mind, so he stopped thinking about it.

So what if there are better choices, just shoot later.

The post-production of "Transformers" was orderly. Zhang Sheng took the time to write the script of "Despicable Me", and then made out the character design and so on.

Same as the previous two movies.

As for the character image of Zhang Sheng, he didn't make much changes.

A bit lazy, of course, the most important thing is that the original version has been successful, why take the risk to change it?

"The character is a Western image?" Yang Qi was a little surprised, and said, "Would it be difficult for domestic movie fans to accept it?"

In fact, the story of "Kung Fu Panda" has some Hollywood routines, and Westerners don't seem to have any problems.

And the style of the movie has a strong Chinese style.

Coupled with the title of the film, it is a Chinese animation film at first glance.

But what about "Despicable Me"?

The same goes for the story, Hollywood style.

It seems that it should be no difficulty for domestic and foreign movie fans.

However, the characters in it look like Westerners.

This is a Chinese animation movie.

Will it look nondescript when produced?
Domestic movie fans may find it difficult to accept it!
If someone with a heart takes advantage of this fart again, and the public opinion guides it, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the film!

To curry favor with Western movie fans, it is easy to make domestic movie fans dissatisfied.

What age is it, and it still flatters foreigners.

"Three children are not!" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Sheng suspiciously.

The three children do not look like Westerners, not to mention Chinese, but they should also be Oriental.

But the protagonist and other characters in it are all Western images!
You are not afraid that domestic movie fans will boycott our movie.

"Let them be the bad guys, we'll be the good guys, what can domestic movie fans say?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

When Yang Qi heard it, he was stunned.

In the original version, whether the three children are Westerners or Easterners, no one can tell the difference.

Maybe some of both.

Orientals seem to be Easterners, and Westerners seem to be Westerners. They are all different.

Perhaps this is also intentional when designing the characters.

Zhang Sheng didn't change anything, and there was no need to make the character look more oriental.

However, even so, this is a Chinese-language animation, so preconceived, domestic movie fans may subconsciously think that they are Chinese people.

And what about Western fans?

Perhaps, because other characters resembled the West, they subconsciously believed that the three children were also Westerners.

"Then why is the child blonde?" Yang Qi couldn't help asking.

He really didn't think those three children were Chinese people.

"In order to make movie fans in Europe and the United States subconsciously think that they are Westerners after watching it!" Zhang Sheng said.

Yang Qi: .
He was a little stunned, and then suddenly realized.

It's just an animated film, and it's a global film.

Is it really that important whether a character is a Westerner or an Easterner?

Those who are critical may even spark a topic and increase the popularity of the movie!
