Chapter 851 Art Film (3/3)
Media, consortium, Wall Street, etc.
No matter in the past life or in this life, the six giants of Hollywood have the background of these huge forces behind them.
Why have no new giants been born in Hollywood over the years?
Because those film companies that aimed to break the Hollywood pattern lost at the starting line from the beginning.
Cinema chains, media promotions, film classifications, film reviews, no matter what aspect, as long as these giants get in the way of other film companies, it will make them extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, if Yang Ming really wants to set foot in Hollywood, he cannot lose to those giants in all aspects.
He knows very well that for these giants, there is no problem if everyone cooperates to make money together. At most, it is just a matter of making more or less.
But if someone wants to overturn their throne, they won't mind showing their sharp teeth and flexing their muscles.
Although Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood only has a bad relationship with Pan American Entertainment, Yang Ming cannot guarantee that the other giants will just watch the show from the sidelines in the future as they do now.
It is very likely that once other giants realize Oriental DreamWorks' ambitions and true intentions, Oriental DreamWorks will definitely face a storm of blows from the other side.
The popularity of "Shaolin Temple" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in the American film market are, at best, quite ordinary blockbuster movies, not worthy of note.
Many Hollywood film companies believe that these two Chinese Kung Fu movies can achieve relatively good box office results. It is entirely because the audience is curious about what the so-called Chinese Kung Fu is like, so they choose to watch it.
Once this freshness wears off, audiences may no longer choose to watch this type of Chinese movies.
Of course Yang Ming doesn't want Hollywood to notice the significance of these two kung fu movies, but now it seems that Hollywood doesn't pay attention to these two kung fu movies at all.
At this time, Yang Ming was in Yanjing's villa.
"A Ming, Xiaoyue said she wanted to try this movie." Su Su put down her phone and said.
In the end, Yang Ming did not choose to call Hua Xiaoyue, and then chose to recruit suitable actresses, but he really didn't expect that Hua Xiaoyue actually called.
"Did you say something to her?" Yang Ming stared into Su Su's eyes. To be honest, he was really angry and hurt by this girl. No woman was as stupid as her.
Su Su nodded when she heard this, but her expression was unfazed. She didn't think that doing so would lead to a wolf entering the house.
"I believe in you, and I believe in Xiaoyue. In fact, we have met several times before. We go shopping together and shop together, just like sisters." Su Su raised her head and met Yang Ming's eyes seriously, "I can't do it.
Watch out for your friends like you would a thief."
"Actually, Hua Xiaoyue has made it clear to me in private that she likes you."
Su Su dropped a shocking piece of news. Yang Ming looked at her in surprise and said in a stuttering tone: "She actually told you?"
"Yeah!" Su Su nodded heavily. "She made everything clear to me. She won't steal yours from me, nor will she be a third party, but she hopes that we can treat each other like ordinary people."
Treat her like a friend, and that’s enough for her.”
When Yang Ming heard this, he suddenly felt a headache and couldn't help but cursed: "Do you believe what she said?"
"Then do you think Xiaoyue is someone who doesn't mean what she says?" Su Su asked instead of answering Yang Ming's words.
This girl seemed a little angry because of Yang Ming's malicious speculation, which made Yang Ming smile bitterly.
But Hua Xiaoyue is indeed not this kind of person.
The Hua Xiaoyue that Yang Ming knew was definitely a woman who never faked anything, dared to love and hate, and was outspoken and heartfelt.
Having said this, what else could he say?
In fact, he also hopes that the two sides will fight until the end and not even be friends, which would be a pity.
Now it seems that the relationship between Su Su and Hua Xiaoyue is closer than that of Yang Ming.
In this case, the heroine of "Transformers" is Hua Xiaoyue. Originally, in Yang Ming's mind, Hua Xiaoyue was the most suitable candidate.
She is popular, has a figure, and has a temperament, especially since she grew up in a military camp. Wearing ordinary casual clothes, she exudes a seductive wildness that makes all men feel crazy.
Seeing Yang Ming falling into fantasy, Su Su coughed lightly and said calmly: "Someone is distracted."
"Oh, oh." Yang Ming laughed awkwardly.
He suddenly discovered that since his relationship with Su Su had deepened, Su Su had become more and more into the role of the heroine.
Su Su did not ask why Yang Ming was distracted, but said to Yang Ming seriously: "A Ming, will you always make this kind of commercial movies in the future? Your career has reached this point, even if the commercial movies you make have box office
No matter how high it is, others will say that your movie is just a victory piled up with money."
Yang Ming was startled when he heard this, and then he thought to himself that this was really the case.
He is the boss of the company, an investor, and a director. If he plays the leading role again, it can be said that everything from preparation to completion of a movie is his decision, and no one dares to go against his will.
Some media have also made this statement.
Originally, Yang Ming dismissed this statement at all.
But if he has been making commercial films so far, and the production costs of each one are higher than the last one, it is difficult to say whether his success is based on money.
To be honest, Yang Ming never cared about these things. As long as the box office of the movie met his expectations, he would not care about anything else.
However, recently, the old director and Su Su reminded him one after another not to blindly shoot commercial movies.
For a director, no matter how high the box office he shoots in a commercial movie, his status in the director circle remains the same.
You will never be called a master.
The most obvious example is Wong Jing, the Hong Kong director in his previous life, who can be said to be a typical commercial director. Every movie he made basically has no real meaning, but his movies can sell money.
In his previous life, after 2010, the scale of the local film market became even larger. This fat man filmed two "Macau" movies in succession, still continuing his somewhat brainless business style.
But these two movies not only made money, but were also huge hits.
However, this fat man has no status at all in the circle of directors, whether in Hong Kong or Mainland China. He has basically missed out on various awards. Compared with his brilliant achievements in commercial films, it is simply miserable.
Look at another director **** brother!
Ever since Kai Ge made the film "Farewell My Concubine" and won an award abroad, his status in the director world has definitely reached the top.
No matter what matters related to the movie, he has the right to express his opinion, and he is also praised by the media as a wise man.
Even if it's just a fart, it still smells good.
Even though the several commercial films he made later were actually just jokes, they did not shake his status in the director world.
This is the difference between commercial directors and artistic directors.
