Chapter 727 Celebration Banquet, Carnival
In the show, Du Caige also seemed to know that such remarks are not so easy for people to accept. There will definitely be many well-known people who want to wave the flag for their master, and many ordinary people will not understand it for the time being.
More ordinary people will be indifferent!
What does it have to do with me whether the people of the Stars and Stripes watch our domestic movies?
Why not worry about how much a catty of pork, cabbage, potatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers will cost tomorrow!
Ideological things are too far, too far away from ordinary people.
Therefore, Du Caige did not continue to diverge the discussion, but brought the topic back, "Therefore, there are profound reasons why our domestic films are cold in the Stars and Stripes. This is not only a problem of aesthetic barriers, but also their politicians and the film industry. The deliberate guidance of the capital is due to the arrogance of their people. I won’t elaborate here. I will just talk about how, in my opinion, in the face of this situation, how to break the ice and rush into the Stars and Stripes, markets in developed countries such as Wessex."
...
Cui Minzhen looked fascinatedly at Du Caige on the TV screen.
As for what he said, she didn't listen carefully.
Nothing more than those things.
For example, "There is no need to deliberately cater to the tastes of Western audiences-most directors in our country don't understand what the tastes of Western audiences are like, or their superficial understanding is actually completely different."
"When making a movie, the first thing you need to do is make it understandable to the audience in your country. The ticket base in your country is the most important thing. If you try to cater to Western audiences, the final result may be that Western audiences think, your filming It’s a mess. The audience in this country also thinks, what the hell are you filming, our country is not like this.”
"'Wulin' did not deliberately cater to Western audiences, and any of my films in the future will not deliberately cater to Western audiences. Watch it if you like it, and watch it if you don’t. Art has no national boundaries, but artists have national boundaries. My art is first and foremost for my country. If you are willing to watch me, you Western audiences are welcome, and you don’t lose if you don’t watch me. With this attitude, you can make good movies.”
"On the basis of satisfying the domestic audience, and then appropriately, taking into account the acceptance of Western audiences, make some adjustments. But the basic framework must be established on the basis of being accepted and loved by the people of the country."
"Reduce the philosophical thinking of the film's Middle Eastern style. Every time there is an extra oriental philosophical thought, the overseas audience's score for this film will be reduced by one point."
"Some things that are difficult for overseas audiences to understand, I would rather not explain them thoroughly, but leave a bit of mystery."
"Currently the most suitable types of domestic films to compete for the Western film market will be action films, followed by fairy tale films and tomb robber films full of mysterious oriental flavors."
"You don't need to really let those audiences understand, as long as they think they understand it, or don't understand it, that's fine."
These things, when she turned into Li Minjun, she had communicated with Du Caige.
In other words, Li Minjun has not shown his face in public for a long time.
Is it time to appear in front of him once?
Tomorrow's celebration banquet, as expected, it would be better to appear as Li Minjun.
After all, there will be no media present tomorrow, they are all acquaintances of the crew.
Cui Minzhen's jade fingers unconsciously played with the small TV remote control.
After a long while, she tapped her chin lightly, "Then let Li Minjun come out to get some air!"
...
In the banquet hall on the second floor of Hongyuan Zhumeng Hotel, there was a lot of chatter and bustle.
The filming team of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake: One Personal Martial Arts" held a celebration banquet here with a domestic box office of 2 billion and a global box office of more than 4 billion, ranking fourth in the global box office list.
It's certainly worth celebrating.
Everyone from the original team must have arrived if they could.
For the few who can't get away, there's nothing they can do about it.
After all, after "Wulin" was filmed, especially after "Wulin" was released, the team was too popular.
Many directors want to cooperate with the members of this team, so as to understand some of Hemingway's ideas, methods, and techniques when directing.
So now almost all the staff members of this team have found new jobs, and the salary is higher than before.
Several film and television works are being filmed in full swing, and some cast and crew cannot leave the crew without permission.
It's not easy for anyone to just eat.
But even if the cast and crew didn't show up, they would try their best to let their family members come over.
Because when Du Caige arranged for someone to notify them, he made it very clear: everyone will have a cash red envelope.
Big cash bonus, double.
So everyone was calculating, guessing how big a red envelope they could get, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm.
In fact, this is also an industry practice. If a film has achieved good results, it must give everyone some bonuses.
Even if the contract does not stipulate dividends, but you hope to continue to receive the support of outstanding staff in the industry in the future, so don't be stingy with this contribution.
People who eat alone are doomed to be unjust and helpless.
Of course, those who give out red envelopes are usually the producers.
in the name of the company.
Generally, there are several producers, and there will be several red envelopes.
And "Wulin" has three producers: Du Caige himself, Dahua Branch of GS Co., Ltd., and Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment.
Among them, Chasing Dreams and Entertainment is only a name, without real investment, and does not participate in box office dividends.
So it stands to reason that everyone should get two red envelopes today - one from Du Caige and one from Dahua Branch of GS Corporation.
Of course, today the two producers put together the red envelopes, and made it clear that the red envelopes are double.
This is also normal.
However, what surprised everyone was that Choi Min-jeong, the branch president of GS Co., Ltd., was not present today.
On such an occasion, it stands to reason that she should come over in person.
After all, this kind of movie with a profit of hundreds of millions is relatively rare in the industry.
Roughly calculated according to the general formula, "Wulin" now has a domestic box office of nearly 2.1 billion. After deducting the distribution of theater accounts, distribution fees, and taxes, Hemingway and GS Co., Ltd. have almost 700 million in revenue.
Not counting overseas box office, future online on-demand, DVDs for collection, authorized production of peripheral products, etc.
And the production cost of this movie is more than 100 million.
So how much money GS Co., Ltd. and Hemingway made is very clear.
Many people think that it seems unreasonable that everyone has earned so much money for Cui Minzhen, but she didn't come to thank her personally and toast her wine.
However, Li Minjun arrived at the scene, which also relieved some of the staff.
After all, everyone knows that Li Minjun is Choi Minjung's younger brother, and he disguises himself as a woman to play the role of Yan Yuanyi.
It was only later in the promotion that considering the public's acceptance, it was lied that Cui Minzhen was the actor of Yan Yuanyi.
In this regard, a few people who are smarter and have sharper eyes have different opinions. Of course, they know how to keep some things in their hearts, so as not to spread them out and cause everyone embarrassment.
At this time, Li Minjun's cheeks were flushed from drinking, and those big eyes that usually looked a little heroic, now looked watery and shocking.
Many men are a little worried that they will be bent, and dare not look at him directly, and dare not talk to him.
Of course, even if he wanted to talk to him, there was no chance, because Li Minjun was always by Du Caige's side, and continued to stay close to him, talking non-stop with Du Caige.
When Du Caige first saw him tonight, he clarified a question to him: Did you ask your sister Cui Minzhen to kiss me?
This is what Du Caige has always been thinking about.
Li Minjun looked confused, "What? When did it happen? It doesn't matter."
Then he smiled and said, "I said earlier, my sister likes you! This is just an excuse she just made to take advantage of you."
Du Caige looked at him with vigilant eyes, meaning: I know your sexual orientation.
Li Minjun smiled and explained: "Although I like men, you are not my type. Please, brother Hemingway, please don't be too sentimental, okay? Although you are very popular, there are always all kinds of beauties Falling in love with you, but not everyone has to like you."
Du Caige was relieved.
After solving the big stone in his heart, he can have fun and celebrate to his heart's content.
Golden Melody Award? Grammy? Hugo Awards? Nebula Award? These are actually not important.
He never cared about these.
Whether it's the music or the music, the things brought here are not his own, and he clearly distinguishes them.
If you are proud of the achievements of these transferred works, it is equivalent to taking the photos after beautification as your real appearance.
To deceive oneself and others is to be foolish.
All he cared about was movies, and only movies.
While holding the wine glass and speaking the toast, Du Caige was full of ambition and felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Being able to make a movie that is currently No. 4 on the global box office list and will soon be promoted to No. 3, it can be said that he has fulfilled his dream of two lifetimes!
In the future, he will naturally set new goals and have new dreams to realize.
But for now, let's revel in the achievements!
Because all the hard work he has put in in the past has been rewarded at this moment!
