This movie, which had been planned since the beginning of the year, had officially entered the shooting stage. Basically, it was the original cast and actors of the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, Diao Chan, who had countless actresses vying for the role, was luckily chosen by Chen Hao.
This actress, who later played the role of Diao Chan in the new Three Kingdoms, actually managed to sneak into the cast of the Three Kingdoms ahead of time. At this time, Chen Hao was just 20 years old, which was the most dazzling period of her life. She was the same age as Diao Chan in history.
On the second day of the release of The Lord of the Rings, the entire cast of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a total of more than a thousand people, flew to the United States on five chartered planes.
After getting off the plane, all the film crew members were very excited. They never dreamed that they would be able to film a movie in the United States. Even after getting on the plane, they still felt that it was unreal.
After all, in this era, the United States was heaven on earth. It was the pinnacle of the world's film industry. Every breath of air was sweet. It was a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to come here.
To be able to charter five planes at the same time, apply for visas for more than a thousand people, and then transport them to the United States at the same time. This made the entire film crew sigh. In this world, only Boss Jia had such courage and ability.
Of course, many people in the film crew were also very confused. Why did they have to go to the United States when they could film a movie in China? Wasn't this giving up what was near and seeking what was far away?
In this regard, the film director was also very puzzled. As soon as they got off the plane, they asked Boss Jia, who came to greet them, puzzled.
"The United States has many very unique terrains, which are suitable for some special scenes. In addition, the photography technology here is very advanced. Everyone can learn from the advanced concepts!
And we don't have to stay here for too long. We'll finish filming in a week or two, then we can go back, "Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What the hell!" Executive Director Wang Fulin jumped up. "Mr. Jia, no matter how many terrains there are in the United States, there are not as many as in Hua Xia. If the photography technology is good, then just invite the cameraman to Hua Xia to teach us. Why did you bring the entire film crew here? This is definitely not a normal reason! "
"Alright, then I'll be honest. I just need you to come to the United States!" Boss Jia said calmly, "You don't even have to do anything. Just come to the United States and have fun!"
"???" Wang Fulin and the others were confused.
"I want to release 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' all over the world, but the people of the United States can't accept a movie made entirely by Hua Xia. It's very difficult for such a movie to achieve a high box office in the United States!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "So, this movie is made by a company in the United States. All the procedures and procedures are done by the United States. So, this is a Hollywood movie. It's just that all the actors and most of the shooting locations are in Hua Xia!"
"But to get this approval, the movie still needs to be filmed in the United States. That's why I invited you guys over!" Boss Jia told the truth.
"I don't understand!" The directors shook their heads and said very sincerely.
"Simply put, this is a shortcut for 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' to go global!" Boss Jia said.
That's right, this was indeed a shortcut.
Although the United States didn't restrict foreign movies from being released in the United States, in fact, most of the cinemas in the United States were reserved for Hollywood movies.
No matter how good a foreign movie was, it couldn't get too many cinemas to support it. This was because these cinemas were backed by various Hollywood companies. They couldn't even release their own movies, so how could they release a foreign movie?
So, although domestic movies claimed to be released in North America, in fact, only some cinemas in Chinatown were released in the United States. They couldn't enter the mainstream cinemas in the United States.
This was something that anyone with a discerning eye could see. In addition, there were many reasons why people couldn't see it. That was, the foreign audience's contempt for Hua Xia movies.
Although it was very unfair to say this, it was the truth. Foreigners didn't even care about Hua Xia, let alone a movie made by Hua Xia.
Many people directly rejected a movie made by Hua Xia as soon as they heard that it was made by Hua Xia. They didn't even have the interest to look at the plot introduction.
It was like in the year 2020, when someone suddenly introduced you to a movie made entirely by Nigerians in Africa and invited you to watch it in the cinema, your immediate reaction would be, "I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to watch a movie made by Africans!"
This was the thought of all the audiences in the Western movie market. No matter how rich Boss Jia was, or how powerful his cheat code was, it was impossible to change the audience's thoughts.
As long as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was promoted as a Hua Xia movie, it would at most be released in the Chinatown cinemas in the United States and earn some money from the United States Chinese. That was it.
As for how to change this situation, fundamentally speaking, there was only a subtle way.
As Hua Xia's national strength continued to increase, its international reputation would become stronger. At the same time, Hua Xia movies would continue to become stronger. Then, the foreign audience would naturally accept Hua Xia movies.
However, this would take time. Boss Jia couldn't wait. He could only take a shortcut, which was to simply turn "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into a Hollywood movie.
Even if this movie was made by Hua Xia actors, almost all the crew and filming locations were in Hua Xia, and the story was also a local story of Hua Xia, as long as it was a Hollywood movie, it would be a Hollywood movie.
For example, Harry Potter was also made by Ying State actors and was filmed in Ying State. Wasn't it very popular in the United States?
Anyway, it had to be a Hollywood movie. Then, it wouldn't be too rejected by the Northern American market.
Of course, one could say that "Harry Potter" was different from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." All the actors spoke English. In terms of culture, there was almost no gap. Of course, it would be popular.
That was not wrong. However, this didn't mean that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" would be rejected by the Northern American market.
For example, the 1987 movie "The Last Emperor" was the only movie in the world that could be filmed in the Forbidden City. Other than a few foreign ambassadors and teachers, all the actors were Hua Xia.
However, it still achieved amazing box office sales in the movie market that year. At the same time, it also dominated the Oscars that year. This proved that it wasn't that there was no market for a Hua Xia cast. It was just that the United States audience wanted to see a United States movie, not a Hua Xia movie.
In summary, all the investors of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Golden Chaos" were companies from the United States. The country of registration was also the United States. In any case, everything was done according to Hollywood's procedures.
However, it was impossible for a Hollywood movie to not have anything in the United States. Therefore, in order to do a good job, Boss Jia directly invited the entire crew to the United States. They just needed to shoot some scenes. When the time came, they could advertise that part of the content was filmed in the United States. This would be a real Hollywood movie.
"I understand!" After Boss Jia's detailed explanation, Wang Fulin and the other five directors finally reacted. However, their expressions became even uglier.
"Mr. Jia, aren't we being too shameless by doing this? We're obviously making a Hua Xia movie, and it's about Hua Xia people. However, we have to make ourselves white and wear white skin. This is simply too ugly. If our ancestors knew that we did this, I'm afraid they would die of shame! "A hot-tempered director said directly.
"No!" Boss Jia was not angry when he heard that. Instead, he smiled and said, "No matter what skin you wear, Hua Xia people are Hua Xia people. This can't be changed!"
"However, we can use this opportunity to spread Hua Xia culture to the whole world! In my opinion, this is the most important thing. Everything else can be changed because of this! "
"This is like an apple. Everyone likes to eat the apple flesh, but they don't care about the apple core. After eating it, they just throw it away casually!"
"However, they don't know that once the apple core falls to the ground, it will sprout and take root. In the end, it will have a chance to grow into a huge apple tree!"
"Our movie is like an apple. Although the flesh on the outside is white, as long as the core is yellow, the foreign audience will eat the fruit flesh and throw it on the United States soil."
"Then, in the future, the United States will grow countless apple trees with Hua Xia blood. We'll be using another way to occupy the United States!"
