1451. Purpose

After "Hurricane Rescue", Chen Hang can be said to be the target of many domestic directors' jealousy.

After all, they have tried it, but the results are not satisfactory.

In other words, except for some Chinese directors, domestic local directors have succeeded in Hollywood.

If Chen Hang's words were heard by domestic directors, they would probably scold you for being pretentious!

But he knew that if he really continued to focus on Hollywood, he would probably waste a long time, but he would eventually have to return to China.

So, when he heard Wang Yifan's words, Chen Hang smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I am indeed a little unwilling to accept it, but I understand that this is always someone else's territory. Unless you reach the level of Director Wang, you will lose all the money if you are not careful."

"Actually, those who used to be directors in Hong Kong may have more say than me," Chen Hang said with a smile.

Wang Yifan nodded.

For example, Wu Baige, who was the best director in Hong Kong Island in Hollywood, but what was the result?

Not coming back in shame.

It’s not because he doesn’t want to continue to hang out in Hollywood, but because he can’t do it anymore.

At the beginning, his violent aesthetics and three tricks really made him stand firm in Hollywood. At least I believe that he thinks so.

But in fact, it is really difficult for Chinese to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Moreover, Hollywood is the best place to imitate and learn to absorb.

Wu Baige only has those three tricks. When others learn the same way and innovate and iterate on that basis, then what Wu Baige is good at is no longer unique, lacks novelty, and eventually becomes mediocre.

In the film industry, mediocrity is the original sin.

So, after Wu Baige messed up several movies, no one was willing to ask him to make a movie again.

It’s not that there is no, but that even if you can shoot, you can only shoot some movies with low cost. A-level big productions have long closed the door to him.

Chen Hang obviously also has a deep understanding.

"If you don't have any other plans, I have a suggestion here." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Chen Hang immediately became interested.

"Do you think Hollywood movies can sweep the world and break cultural barriers? Even when Chinese people are watching Hollywood movies, the male and female protagonists and social backgrounds in them are clearly from abroad, but everyone will not feel inconsistent? What do you think is the reason?" Wang Yifan asked instead.

"Because, let's just move it. In fact, at the beginning, everyone still felt that it was inconsistent, but as more and more of these things, people gradually became accustomed to it."

Chen Hang pondered for a moment and said.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "So what do you think we Chinese movies want to go out, at present, what is the most lacking in the world?"

Chen Hang looked at Wang Yifan and asked in surprise: "What do you mean is to learn from the best skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians?"

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, Hollywood can do it, why can't we do Chinese movies?"

"In the early years, North America was indeed very strong. It can be said that in that era, North America had almost no opponents around the world. After all, at that time, China had not yet risen."

"But now it's different. Our Chinese country has risen. It can be said that in many ways, we are no longer inferior to them."

"So what they can do, why can't we?"

Chen Hang nodded, but shook his head again and said, "But the times are different. At that time, global movies were still in their early stages. Hollywood was purely a dimensional reduction attack, such as special effects. The markets of other countries have not been developed yet and their own film industry has no shadow. Hollywood has brought Hollywood blockbusters to all parts of the world with its mature industrial system."

"The special effect created by huge funds that seem incredible to others has broken through overseas market barriers."

"But now, Hollywood movies have successfully become the world's number one, setting up a monopoly on most markets. At this time, it is too difficult for us to enter and gain recognition." Chen Hang sighed.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, but someone has to do anything, right? We are the best filmmakers in China, and this is our responsibility and obligation."

"And we don't have to underestimate ourselves, and there is no need to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. This is not something that can be done overnight, but I believe that as long as we are determined and do it step by step, some results will always be produced."

Chen Hang nodded and said, "Yes, actually Director Wang's Marvel Universe Project is the purpose, right?"

Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, this is our advantage. The Chinese market is something that Hollywood capitalists cannot ignore. At the same time, as long as it can bring benefits to them, even if they know it, they will not care at all."

Those people in Hollywood are all good people, how could they not know why "Spider-Man" is the Chinese protagonist?

But what does this have to do with them?

As long as "Spider-Man" can bring benefits to them, even if they are all Chinese, they don't care.

After all, the Chinese threat theory has long been a cliché, but what is the result?

They should do business with China as usual.

"Spider-Man is just the first step. It's not that easy, but it's not that difficult. Next, there will be many Spider-Man. So, Director Chen, are you interested in directing a Marvel Universe movie?" Wang Yifan sent an invitation to Chen Hang.

This is actually one of his plans.

It is impossible for so many Marvel Cinema Universe movies to be directed by themselves, nor can they be handed over to Hollywood directors to direct them all.

After all, the director himself can be said to play a crucial role in the style and direction of the film.

If it is a Chinese director, then even if it is not intentional, their background and habits will naturally bring some Chinese elements to the movie.

If it is a foreign director, even if they deliberately add Chinese elements, it is still difficult to actually capture the essence of Chinese.

Why is it difficult for directors of Hong Kong Island, Baodao, to make such a grand and atmospheric movie?

Always give people a feeling of being petty.

For example, "Red Cliff" was originally a Three Kingdoms War, which was related to national affairs and determined the ownership of a country's regime, but it was eventually filmed as a street fight between young and dandy boys on Hong Kong. To be the case, it was called the Three Kingdoms, it was better to say it was the ancient version of Infernal Affairs.

And the same is true for the treasure island.

Because it is difficult for them to have the demeanor of a central country!

They may be able to feel the wandering feeling of the morning breeze and waning moon on the willow bank, but they will never be able to understand the majestic and magnificent water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and flows to the sea without returning!

This is true for Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island, let alone foreigners?
