Feng Yu laughed happily when he saw Wang Zhongjun's shocked expression. This is what the Chinese Brothers will do in the future, but they have not implemented it yet.
Feng Yu is using Wang Zhongjun's own ideas to guide Wang Zhongjun. This feeling is amazing!
Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and felt there is nothing wrong with this. But this way, the management of the company will be more troublesome. But it is just like what General Manager Feng had said. It will be easier for him to control his artists, especially the celebrities.
"CEO Wang, did any of our artists go overseas to develop their careers? I am referring to overseas."
"General Manager Feng, just call me by my name. I don't deserve to be called General Manager. Our artists are expanding overseas, mainly to Southeast Asia. "Wang Zhongjun felt Feng Yu calling him General Manager Wang is too harsh. Who dares to call himself General Manager in front of Feng Yu?
"Then I will call you Zhongjun. Southeast Asia, are you referring to singers or actors going overseas to promote their films? "
"Yes, that's it."
"This is not enough. You should think of a way to make them famous overseas. The best way is to let them have films that are popular with the foreigners. "
Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly. "General Manager Feng, this is easier said than done. Our Chinese culture is very influential in Asia, but there is still a big gap between us and the West, which is Europe and the US. They will not understand what we think is good. "
Feng Yu laughed. "Then make the script simpler. We will not make movies with deep meanings. We will focus on commercials. The plot is important, but the visuals are equally important. Look at the blockbusters in Europe and the US. All of them have great visuals. Why can't we do this? Make the plot simpler and show the heroism of the individual. This is in line with the West's values. But it is not unacceptable for us. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, there are many popcorn movies in Europe and the US. The plot cannot stand up to scrutiny, but the audience still likes it. It is because the visuals are good and the scenes are exciting. Most people watch movies for nothing more than a pastime. How many of them watch movies with a critical eye?
Those artistic films don't do well at the box office. No matter how good your acting is, the audience won't buy it. So what if he won the prize? He still wouldn't make any money.
The prosperity of the market was not driven by those so-called award-winning movies, but by the fact that the movies could attract more audiences and box office sales. Only then would more people enter the television industry, and the industry would prosper.
Just like Hong Kong's movie industry in the past. At that time, Hong Kong's movie production was the second largest in the world, and there were more than a hundred movie companies.
It was only because of the cost-cutting that the movies became more and more crude that it slowly declined. It was not until the appearance of < Infernal Affairs > that Hong Kong's film market started to recover, and Hong Kong's films entered European and US cinemas again.
"If the plot is too simple, then isn't the story very straightforward?" Wang Zhongjun asked worriedly.
"Look at our traditional wuxia movies. The plot is very simple. A killed B, and B's son, C, learned martial arts and sought revenge from A. During this period, A's daughter, D, might have developed feelings for C. Everyone can understand these movies, and everyone wants to watch the action scenes. You hit me, I hit you, fighting and killing. How many people liked it at that time? The Americans are all simple-minded. After all, Asians are the most intelligent people in the world. "
"That's why we can use our previous wuxia movies. But we cannot use ancient costumes. We must make it modern or even futuristic. Fighting, love, and maybe a little comedy. This is the main plot of commercial movies. This is not difficult. "
"But no company in Europe or the United States wants to buy our movies." These two years, the Chinese Brothers had been trying to export their movies to the US market. But their movies failed miserably in the US market, and no one is interested in the European market. Why do they have to send their movies to Venice, Cannes, etc.? It's to sell their movies.
"If you can't sell your movies, that's because you have not found the right person. Coincidentally, Wind & Rain Electronics is working with a few big US film companies. Maybe we can help you to promote your movies there. But you must do what I said. Your movies must be simple and direct. You must highlight the visual effects. Humor must be expressed through body expressions. You must not use words. "
"Also, there is a world's best talent agency in the US. It is called Elite Talent Agency. You can think of a way to work with them. Through them, we can promote our artists and celebrities to the US and the rest of the world. In return, we can bring their clients to Hua Xia's market."
Hua Xia's economy is booming now, and the movie industry is booming. These few years, many movies have started to make money. Also, Wind & Rain Electronics had controlled the VCD's copyright and protected it. This resulted in fewer pirated DVDs in Hua Xia. For some low-budget movies, they can earn back their capital just by selling the DVDs.
The European and US companies have been trying to expand into Hua Xia's market. There are so many people in Hua Xia. Even if only 1% of the people watch their movies, it will be a lot of box office earnings.
"It's easy to attract European and US artists. But it's not easy to send our artists out."
"That's why I said we must have good works. No matter if it's a song or a movie, as long as the European and US people like it, the person will be famous there. For example, those Hong Kong singers were sent out this way. They can even hold concerts in Europe and the US. Actually, those Europeans will not understand what they are singing. "
"Also, do you know that many celebrities had started their careers by acting in commercials? We can use Hua Xia's artists as their spokespeople to promote them to the European and US markets. We will let them know who they are, and then they can produce good works. "
Not only in Hua Xia, but there are also successful commercials in Europe and the US. Many of them were not popular when they were actresses, but they became popular after they acted in commercials. After that, they continued to be invited to film shows.
"General Manager Feng, I understand. I will come up with a detailed plan later. We will surely send our artists to the European and US markets. "Wang Zhongjun said loudly.
"That's right. You must have confidence in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you succeed? Those who want to change the world must have the heart to change the world. Just do it. I believe in you! "
