Chapter 685
In recent years, with the trend of world economic integration, cultural exchanges between countries have become more frequent.
Film is one of the important forms of cultural exchange.
However, the results of Chinese and American films being released in the other country are completely different. Hollywood blockbusters have conquered the Chinese film market and occupied an increasing market share.
However, Chinese films have become seriously unaccustomed to the American film market and have suffered serious losses, so much so that American theater companies are now reluctant to screen Chinese films.
If they show Chinese movies, it means they will lose money. When it comes to interests, these theater companies have become extremely realistic.
This is a choice made by the market, not due to government interference.
Therefore, the Chinese film industry is still somewhat unjust in this regard. Even China's current restrictions on imported film quotas came about due to strong appeals from the film industry. However, how long this restriction can last is not expected by everyone.
Already.
The theater companies in the United States did not want to see "Path of Glory", which was expected by Yang Ming. The last time he went to the United States to contact the release of "One Shot", he had already experienced Hollywood's disdain and neglect of Chinese movies.
!
There is nothing that can be done about this, as Huaxia Film cannot bring benefits to those theater companies!
If every movie of Huaxia can bring them a lot of revenue like "One Shot to Fame", Yang Ming is sure that those theater companies will definitely come crying and shouting to show Huaxia's movies.
It is a pity that Chinese films are not yet able to do this. At least no domestic film company can claim to have grasped the pulse of American audiences.
Yang Ming drove Barber to the hotel. When he parked the car, two commercial vehicles had already arrived at the door of the hotel. After a while, McTiernan and Cruz also got out of the car.
Half an hour later, the western restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
Yang Ming, Barber, McTiernan, and Cruz sat around the table, each discussing the issue with great interest.
"Yang, why don't you stop telling me? Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight." McTiernan said, staring at Yang Ming closely.
When Yang Ming saw McTiernan's demeanor, his hand shook and the cup almost fell onto the table. He quickly held the cup steady. McTiernan's demeanor made him feel chilled.
However, he also knew why the other party was so eager. When he saw Cruz's ears pricked up, he didn't hide it anymore and said:
"Director McTiernan, don't worry, the sequel to "Die Hard" has already been conceived in my mind. I believe that in a while, you will be able to see the real script!"
After Yang Ming said this, he turned to Cruz and continued: "You are still the heroic and passionate Detective John on the screen!"
"Awesome, Yang, you are really a genius. I heard Barber talk about your talent before. I have always been skeptical about it, but now I believe it. You are definitely the most talented genius I have ever seen. There is no such thing as a genius."
One!" The slender McTiernan immediately danced for joy, and then opened his mouth to praise Yang Ming, almost saying that Yang Ming is rare in the sky and rare on the earth!
Not only McTiernan, but Cruz tried his best to keep a calm expression on the side, but his hands holding the teacup tightly at this time revealed the excitement in his heart.
Barbour also shook his head and smiled, making no comment on McTiernan's performance.
But Barber knew why McTiernan was so eager for a sequel to "Die Hard."
If "Die Hard" gave Oriental DreamWorks a formal foothold in Hollywood, let him prove to himself that his choice was not wrong.
Well, this movie also gave McTiernan and Cruz extraordinary honors and status in Hollywood.
Before McTiernan took over the filming of "Die Hard", he was just a budding director in Hollywood. Although he has great potential, he does not have many successful works and cannot be considered a first-line director in Hollywood.
But now with the success of "Die Hard", which has achieved good box office and reputation, McTiernan's status in Hollywood has suddenly become different. Many media have even evaluated him as the director of a new generation of action films.
.
Cruz is in a similar situation. The most realistic thing is that his net worth after filming a movie is at least three times higher than that of "Die Hard", and he is on the verge of becoming a multi-million dollar Hollywood actor.
Although he is still far away from the top-level net worth of 20 million, Cruz at least sees hope.
Afterwards, Yang Ming chatted with a few people about his ideas for the sequel to "Die Hard" before saying goodbye and going back.
On the way back, he was still thinking about what happened in the hotel. To be honest, if possible, he could even hand over the script for the sequel to "Die Hard" to McTiernan when he returns to the United States.
But he thought about it and decided to give it to him after the Spring Festival.
After all, the popularity of "Die Hard" has not dissipated, so rushing to shoot a sequel is not a good thing. Wait until the Spring Festival, give the script to McTiernan, shoot for a few months, and then put it down
Screened every six months.
In this way, after a certain amount of time, many viewers will look forward to seeing the sequel to "Die Hard".
The next day, under Liu Xinsheng's prior arrangement, the news that the "Die Hard" crew came to China to promote was published in many entertainment news sections, followed closely by the carefully edited final trailer of "Die Hard".
Start logging in to major websites and media.
Suddenly, the publicity for "Die Hard" was overwhelming and overwhelming.
Everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry was frightened by Oriental DreamWorks' sudden effort to create such a huge battle for a Hollywood movie, even though this movie was also produced by Oriental DreamWorks itself.
However, many domestic film companies have noticed a promotional slogan of "Die Hard", and everyone has some doubts about the authenticity of this slogan.
"The blockbuster "Die Hard", which has been ranked No. 1 in the North American Film Market for three consecutive weeks, has officially landed in China!"
The English name of "Die Hard" is "ar", and the Chinese translation was only officially announced during this promotion. The entertainment industry did not expect that the film "Die Hard" produced by Oriental DreamWorks would be ranked first at the box office in North America.
"Longwei".
Besides, the domestic entertainment industry will not always pay attention to the foreign entertainment industry.
"In November, the film with the highest box office in the Chinese film market was produced by Oriental DreamWorks; the film with the number one box office in the US film market was also produced by Oriental DreamWorks. I never thought that our Chinese film company would one day do it.
To such an extent!”
A comment that suddenly appeared in the media immediately detonated the entire Chinese entertainment industry, and then even Hollywood was involved.
