Chapter 636 Discussion(2/2)

Most of the filming funds are allocated to the actors, so there is no need for too many big names, one or two are enough.

It is one of the truths that actors drive the box office of movies, and it is also an important reason for Hollywood's long-lasting prosperity.

Even in the past life, China's movie box office has become the largest box office in Hollywood outside of North America. In order to obtain better box office in China, every Hollywood blockbuster will add Chinese elements, and even invite Chinese stars to join in the cast.

, although they are basically insignificant roles.

But it has to be said that Hollywood blockbusters’ approach of pleasing Chinese audiences has indeed allowed Hollywood blockbusters to hit new box office records in China.

In fact, this method was also used in a Chinese blockbuster, but the result was extremely painful!

This movie is the very famous "The Promise" in the previous life. The cast of this film is also relatively clever. Hiroyuki Sanada (Japanese movie star) guarantees the Japanese box office, Jang Dongjian (Korean movie star) guarantees the Korean box office, and Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse (Hong Kong movie star) guarantee the box office.

China's box office. Although the reviews for "Levelless" were generally devastating, the box office was indeed decent.

In the early years, there were not many movies with a large investment of more than 100 million US dollars. Many viewers believed that the amount of money invested was directly proportional to the quality of the movie, because a large amount of money could produce big scenes such as explosions, and they could also be lifelike.

It can accurately depict the scene of disaster. The props can be more exquisite and the scenery can be larger. These can bring the movie to a higher level and provide more enjoyment to the eyeballs and ears.

When talking about this, Yang Ming couldn't help but reveal his plan for the next movie to the old dean, "I am going to invest 500 million Chinese dollars in the filming of the next movie!"

When the old dean heard Yang Ming's words, his hands trembled and he almost lost his voice.

500 million Chinese coins and more than 100 million rice dollars!

What kind of movie requires such a big investment?

Even in the history of Yanjing Film Institute, no director has ever made a film with such a huge investment.

"Have you thought about it?" The old dean knew that Yang Ming often did shocking things, so he quickly returned to normal without questioning or criticizing!

"Yeah!" Yang Ming nodded, full of confidence.

"Okay, it's up to you. If there is any help from the college, just ask, but then I will arrange for a few students to intern on your crew! Our college has never had such teaching materials for shooting such a huge investment movie. It's just a good opportunity.

Take this opportunity and let them study and summarize it. It is estimated that a few teachers will come over and work for you for free!" the old dean said.

"Haha, I can't ask for it!" Yang Ming said with a hearty smile.

This is also a good thing for him. For a production of 500 million Chinese dollars, the previous crew members are definitely not enough. Since the old director is willing to arrange for people to come over for internship, he will definitely welcome it with both hands.

"That's where we just talked, let's continue!" The old dean gestured to Yang Ming to continue the topic of the Hollywood blockbuster.

Yang Ming cleared his throat and said with a slightly solemn expression: "No matter how many stars are invited to join the Hollywood blockbuster, or how much money is spent on making the movie, there is only one thing at the core, and that is the gripping plot and the novelty.

Creativity!”

Most audiences come to the theater for excitement and a roller coaster ride. This is what Hollywood movies do. The themes they choose should be disasters, heroes, and thrillers. The plot cannot be protracted, otherwise it will lower the audience's heart rate.

Basically, the plot of any Hollywood blockbuster is like a speeding train, from the start to the end, with no chance to get off the train. The audience is led by the director, and the clues are followed one after another. It is dizzying, and you are gone.

An opportunity to escape. When the final mystery was revealed, the audience was already intoxicated. Such a movie is a success!

Hollywood blockbuster movies with complicated plots and powerful endings are easy to win, and are also guaranteed factors at the box office!

Speaking of this, Yang Ming bluntly pointed out that there are countless so-called commercial blockbusters in China. Although they have the title of blockbusters, they invite celebrities to join in, and they are known to be huge productions, but when they are actually screened, the plots are pale and feeble.

, it’s simply a bad street.

This is not a lack of technology or a lack of funds. In fact, this is a matter of attitude.

This phenomenon is not only true in this life, but also in previous lives. Why do countless people shake their heads when mentioning domestic movies and ask, "What's so good about domestic movies?" Apart from that, there is no difference!

First-rate publicity, second-rate star cast, third-rate special effects production, and subpar plot, this is the so-called domestic blockbuster in the previous life!

Every time Yang Ming thought about this, he felt sad and panicked because those domestic blockbusters were not up to par!

However, there is no way, he did not have any power to change all this in his previous life!

However, in this world, he may not be able to influence the practices of other film companies, but he can set a benchmark for blockbusters and let people know that blockbusters do not become blockbusters by fooling the audience!

I've been really busy these days. Things will get better after 25, and I'll take the time to pay off the debt!
