Chapter 0642 An ordinary audience(1/2)
Robin Ruffalo had long noticed the deep sense of superiority in Saif Rajput. The superiority that the other party showed to the outside world seemed to be deeper than leading capitalists to face the 996 social animal.
But the great director Robin still couldn't imagine what kind of grudges and grudges? Why did this guy who came out of nowhere tie him up with Robin together?
You also ordered Dr. Zhao to take out the good movies quickly and let him choose with his Hollywood friends? You can choose your sister.
The great director has lived in Hong Kong for so long and has learned some Chinese. He can speak a few words in Mandarin or Cantonese. At this moment, he is anxious to express his inner self in Chinese.
Bob Renner also felt Robin's emotions deeply, but the big star Michael Mel was a little...what was he talking? I don't understand.
Saif, Amyra and other white elephant people couldn't understand either.
When the few people were inexplicably moved, Dr. Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand to Saif and said in English, "How is the overall situation of the Baixiang movie market now? I really don't understand."
Saif's attitude is a bit bad, but Dr. Zhao has always been generous, kind, tolerant and loving people. How could he care about this little thing? He is really curious about the situation in the White Elephant Film Industry in the 1980s.
Saif looked at Robin in confusion and shook hands with Dr. Zhao, "Our White Elephant movie market is very good. English films basically account for more than 10% of the market, but the mainstream is still Hindi, Tamil and Telugu."
"If there are good and exciting foreign films, if there are only English versions, I can give more than 200 movie screens. If it is equipped with four languages: English, Indy, Tamil, and Telugu, I can promise to give the treatment of one thousand movie screens."
Before traveling through time, Dr. Zhao didn't know much about White Elephant Movies, but he just occasionally saw a few words. He didn't know that the film market in this country is very magical... It's so magical that White Elephant Movies may have achieved great movie box office in China and Hollywood.
But movies outside of White Elephant, even Hollywood super blockbusters, have limited audiences in White Elephant.
How limited is it?
In the original trajectory, the Titanic's big ship journey swept the whole world. Whether it is Europe, China, island countries, South Korea, etc., or even the Hong Kong Island, which is known as the Hollywood in the East, was easily captured by the big ships.
But this movie is still in the White Elephant Market, just like... Ordinary.
Avatar is so arrogant, but in the box office history of Baixiang movies, he can't even enter the top seventy... Hollywood siege pool swept the whole world, and Baixiang's peak period was that it captured more than 10% of the market.
Of course, this more than 10% refers specifically to Hollywood movies, and what Saif said at this moment 10% refers to the entire English movie.
Romance movies, action movies, science fiction movies, etc. are actually very popular in White Elephant, but the results of Hollywood ships, Avatars, Star Wars, etc. are only average. One of the biggest reasons is that the viewing customs of White Elephant audiences. A standard Bollywood blockbuster must have five or six gorgeous songs and dances. The film is three hours long and divided into the first and second half. Each half will have 10 minutes of advertising time.
Without large-scale singing and dancing concert clips, it is equivalent to having no soul for the White Elephant movie.
Whether it is the Hollywood version of Spider-Man, the Matrix, etc. that swept the world in the original trajectory, or the Hong Kong version led by Dr. Zhao, without qualified large and large sections of singing and dancing, the white elephant audience is almost equal to... a niche!
These movies have no soul!
When Saif Rajput smiled and introduced the White Elephant Movie, Zhao Xueyan accidentally heard the system prompt.
"Ding, signing in Saif Rajput successfully, rewarding a bowl of magical Ganges water, the host can receive it at any time."
A bowl of magical Ganges water may have incredible effects. If you drink it, nothing may happen, or there may be miracles.
Dr. Zhao, “???”
Is there such a reward? This Saif is also a person in a certain story? What story does the other party come from?
During the other party's commentary, Dr. Zhao smiled and dug deep into the memory. After digging, he still had no impression, no impression at all...
He only remembered that in the 21st 20s before traveling through time, the average annual output of Chinese movies was five or six hundred, and Hollywood was about the same. The number would be even smaller in the bad year, but Baixiang was more than one thousand movies per year!
Yes, it’s just so exaggerating. The total annual output of Baixiang Movies is basically more than that of China and Hollywood. But as a Chinese, how many movies have he watched??
Looking back on the terrifying output of the White Elephant movie, Dr. Zhao was speechless. Let’s forget it. Who knows which White Elephant story Saif in front of him comes from.
The rewards given by the other party are very strange, a bowl of magical Ganges water!
He has collected this kind of prop reward before, including invisible defense helmets, versatile windbreakers, Silma Sinid's bottle of top-grade green tea, acid-free paper, money printing machine, etc., all of which are props.
But drink it directly?
There is only Silma's top green tea.
The introduction to green tea is a surprise when opening the lid, please be careful when drinking it.
He is still hanging in the taskbar. Dr. Zhao has not received it and cannot figure out the effects of green tea, so he dare not use it casually.
Now the Ganges water is even more... I don't know how to describe it.
Not to mention this bowl of water, in Saif's introduction, Dr. Zhao was already interested in the Spider-Man of Kyushu Film entering the White Elephant Market. He just smiled and said, "The visitor is a guest, let's talk while walking?"
"There are also many people waiting for the movie to be exhibited."
Saif laughed, "Of course, I'm also very curious about your company's movies, after all, it's a Vaishya highly recommends it."
Dr. Zhao started, and on the surface he and Saif and his group of White Elephant Men were chatting well? In the lobby on the first floor, many people who saw this scene, no matter what their thoughts were in their hearts, covered up their thoughts...
After a while, when Zhao Xueyan sat down in the large screening hall on the third floor, the crew and actors were busy working.
On the top floor of Jiuzhou Building, there is Dr. Zhao's private, with a slightly smaller screening room that can accommodate up to 50 people. The decoration environment is extremely fashionable and comfortable, chasing trends and top audio-visual enjoyment. The hall on the third floor can accommodate more than 200 people, and the movie and enjoyment effects are relatively ordinary.
Of course, this kind of ordinary depends on the comparison.
Compared with other Hong Kong Island such as Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Cinemas, there are many more high-end ones.
Before he came, there were already thirty or forty people here. After Dr. Zhao arrived, he waited for a while and the screening room was gradually filled with people.
……………………
The center of the seventh row.
Big star Michael Mell looked left and right and front and back in confusion before saying to Bob Renner on the left, “Is this an internal screening, preview? Or release?”
Bob said excitedly, "Don't talk casually, just wait for the movie."
Michael looked at the next person on the left again, the big director Robin Ruffalo, "Director, that Mr. Zhao seems to be having a good chat with the White Elephant Man?"
"Have you told him that he wanted to continue making a new film for Kyushu?"
Until now, Michael Mell's biggest impression of Kyushu Media is still at the most superficial level, and he is also very interested in science fiction blockbusters with Chinese protagonists and his confidence is sluggish.
At most...at most is the special effects that may be eye-catching?
Therefore, it is better to seize the opportunity to have a relationship with Director Robin and deepen his friendship. No matter how bad the story and reputation of the director films the Chinese character, he still wants to act.
You say that if the Hollywood director fails in the new film, he will continue to make a second film. After the success, even the first-line director will become a loser in an instant and lack investment?
In theory, you use Hollywood's major capital to make movies like this, that's the case. But the Matrix that Robin filmed now is Chinese, starring Chinese, and the new film Forrest Gump is also Chinese, and the Chinese director is Chinese, no matter how much he loses, it is natural in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers.
If you play with Chinese capital and do whatever you want, it will not affect your reputation at all.
Under his excited call, Robin Ruffalo didn't even turn his head, "Don't talk, wait for the movie."
Michael, “…”
Michael looked at the big screen ahead in a daze. The screen is still dark now. The lights in the entire screening room are still on and they are not on the air. Watch a chick movie?
When he looked to the right side of his seat again, the person sitting was also a white man. He didn't know him. Before Michael Meyer could say anything, the white man turned to him and said, "Watch the movies well, don't mess around."
Michael was angry.
Bob Renner is his friend, and the great director Robin is he who wants to curry favor with his good intentions. Who are you? Do you really think Michael, a second-tier Hollywood star or the most top star in the second-tier, is it a decoration?
But when he continued to look at the second position on the right, a red-haired white man sitting there, also looked focused and serious, staring at the quiet look of the big screen full of expectations... Michael became a little confused. Everyone was so quiet?
This is the case on the left and right, and the rows in front are almost the same.
In the cinema, which accommodates more than 200 people, whether Chinese or white, they are quiet, calm and expectant. When the occasionally walking service staff comes to deliver tea and snacks, most of them will take the things and smile and nod, without much language communication.
After a while in a daze, Michael suddenly felt like he was not like waiting to watch a movie, but waiting for a big wave of SS inspections and inspections!
In the entire screening room, there was only one sitting near Zhao Xueyan in the fifth row. Mr. Zhao was chatting and laughing with the left and right casually, but the sound was not loud, but it was very natural.
Michael shook his head and threw away some strange thoughts. The lights in the screening room were turned off and the big screen became cold.
……………………
Two hours passed in a flash.
With Spider-Man's happy ending, Michael Mel was still immersed in the plot and was a little excited and excited. A wave of applause from small to large awakened him.
Looking at Bob Renner on the left and right, Robin Ruffalo, including the white audience on the right, all stood up and applauded desperately.
Michael became even more dazed.
He admitted that if we put aside the white people, Amei's Hollywood people's pride and prejudice, from the perspective of normal mentality, watching this version of Chinese Spider-Man, this film is really good!
Spider-Man played by Li Changjiang, counterattacked from the loser and gained super powers without anything. He traveled all over the city, promoted and raised money to win Bai Yueguang...
This is so refreshing.
This is the standard cool writing routine, handsome men and beautiful women are pleasing to the eye.
What’s even more exciting is the special effects, which are really epoch-making. Spider-Man’s various flying performances and high-tech tools are much better than the return to the future that was released in 1985 on Amei, and the global box office of 390 million yuan.
The fighting movements are even more sharp and cool, and they punch each other with Hollywood tough guys. It is like a turn-based fighting comparison, and it is also a transcendence across the ages.
If this movie put aside its pride and prejudice, it would be great, but it wouldn't make Robin and others so excited, right?
In his trance, Zhao Xueyan also walked out of his seat, held a microphone and looked at his left and right, "How do you think of this Spider-Man? The movie was made and it was something that made people comment, and everyone could speak freely."
In the screening hall, which had more than 200 people, some were invited by Zhao Xueyan, some were invited by the person in charge of Jiuzhou Film, but many were tried to come by themselves.
Zhao Xueyan also caught a lot of faces that he didn't know.
He spoke Chinese, but under Zhao Xueyan's words, the heroine Zhang Shanshan was also holding a microphone, smiling and adding in English translation.
Saif Rajput stood up decisively and laughed, "Zhao, your movie is okay, it's quite interesting to shoot. However, if you arrange a series of large-scale singing and dancing performances at different times, make it into three hours, and then translate four language versions, it may have a certain market in our Baixiang, and hopefully you can get tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in box office."
This time the theater plays the Cantonese version with Chinese and English subtitles.
