The Director of Music Department

676. Hollywood tolerance? what are you kidding

Wang Yifan is of course a famous director, and he is also the famous Light of Asia. As for who first mentioned this name, it is impossible to trace back.

But anyway, he is indeed called the Light of Asia.

This is his title from a movie.

"Midnight Ring" has finished, which is also a hot spot for publicity.

With the popularity of the "Midnight Ring" novel, the movie of the same name "Midnight Ring" has naturally become the most anticipated movie.

For these people, the completion of "Midnight Ring" is naturally something to be happy about.

Wang Yifan didn't pay much attention to the release time of "Midnight Ring", he was not too familiar with the film distribution system in the island country, but with Toei as a giant, naturally he didn't need to worry about it.

Not only that, but on the side of Bangzi, CJ Entertainment also attaches great importance to this film, which is the beginning of cooperation.

Although for CJ Entertainment, their participation in "Midnight Ring" is actually not very high, but we have to take a long-term view.

At this time, Wang Yifan received a call from Tsukamoto Oshima, saying that someone from Hollywood came.

In Wang Yifan's original memory of "Midnight Bell", although it also had a great influence in Hollywood, he knew that Hollywood's xenophobia was not just talked about casually.

In the previous life, "Midnight Ring" did not perform very well in Hollywood, not because the movie was bad, but because North American audiences naturally did not pay attention to things outside North America.

Even European movies have not been able to get benefits in Hollywood, not to mention that the entire cast of "Midnight Ring" is Asian.

We must know that Europeans and North Americans can be said to be of the same root and species, but even so, they are still rejected by the North American market.

Take "This Killer Is Not So Cold" as an example. This movie is so famous that it is regarded as a classic in China, but in reality?

The North American box office of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is less than US$20 million! Far from successful!

In the previous life, "Midnight Ring" did have a great influence in North America, and was even called a horror movie model that attracted Hollywood's attention. "Midnight Ring" has a huge influence in later generations, not only the original movie It is very popular in a small range in Europe and America, and the works after being remade by North American directors also set off a movie-watching boom.

But in fact, the original version of "Midnight Ring" said that it has a great influence in North America is only in terms of concept, not the movie itself.

However, I have to say that the remake of the American version of "Midnight Ring" is indeed a big hit in North America.

And the capital of the island country entered Hollywood many years ago. Therefore, "Midnight Bell" is so popular in the island country, so it is only normal for it to receive Hollywood's attention.

"Director Wang, let me introduce you. This is the president of Universal Pictures Matsumoto Takeo Matsumoto. President Matsumoto. This is the director Wang Yifan." Tsukamoto Oshima introduced Wang Yifan.

"Mr. Matsumoto, hello!" Wang Yifan said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Director Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have long admired Director Wang's name. The Light of Asia is well-deserved!" Matsumoto Keno is the vice president of Matsumoto Universal Pictures, but it is a pity that in Hollywood, although Matsumoto entered Universal, he has been paying tuition. , At the same time, he was slapped a few times by the North American executives in Universal, and suffered heavy losses.

But after paying enough tuition fees, Matsumoto Universal has gradually started to get on the right track. Although Matsumoto Universal's current performance is not very good among the major media giants in Hollywood, it is definitely a giant.

Of course, Wang Yifan's identity is actually equal to Matsumoto Keno's. He is one of the major shareholders of Huaguo Huaxin Group, and he is also a world-renowned Asian director, so naturally there is no need to be too polite.

"Director Wang, we at Matsumoto Universal have always hoped to cooperate with Director Wang. I believe Director Wang is also aware of our strength in Hollywood and in the island country. Huaxin Group also has a huge influence in China. I think we have a great deal of influence. cooperation space!” said Takeo Matsumoto.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Huaxin has always hoped to cooperate with Hollywood giants including Matsumoto Universal, but it seems that Mr. Matsumoto should directly talk to our Chairman Lin Husheng about this matter? After all, I am just a The director is only responsible for making movies."

Of course, there is no problem with cooperation. In fact, Huaxin also sought cooperation at the beginning. Unfortunately, Matsumoto Universal's asking price was too outrageous, so there was no need for the two parties to negotiate.

Of course, Wang Yifan also knew that it seemed different at that time than it is now, because at that time, although Matsumoto Global was acquired by the Matsumoto Group, in fact, it was not the Matsumoto Group that was in charge, but the professional executives from North America.

Sure enough, Takeo Matsumoto stood up quickly, bowed and said, "I am deeply sorry for Matsumoto Universal's attitude before. I believe Director Wang also knows that our Matsumoto Universal is now very different from the past, so we sincerely hope that I can cooperate with Huaxin Group. In fact, my next stop is Huaguo. I hope to reach an agreement with Huaxin on this matter. Once an agreement is reached, I hope that the first film we cooperate with will be directed by Director Wang himself. !"

"Personally, I have no objection, but let's talk about everything after the cooperation intention is reached." Wang Yifan said flatly.

There are too many things involved in the cooperation of two giants, and it is also a cooperation between multinational giants. Wang Yifan is too lazy to care about it. Naturally, the professionals in Huaxin will worry about it. Otherwise, what are they doing with so much salary every year?

""Midnight Ring" I wonder if Director Wang is interested in having it released in North America? Matsumoto Universal can take over the distribution in North America and even Europe." Matsumoto asked.

Although Wang Yifan had guessed it a long time ago, he was still a little surprised when Matsumoto Keno said it.

"Of course I'm interested, but, President Matsumoto, you should know how exclusive the North American market is. Even so many European films are hard to make a difference in the North American market, let alone "Midnight Ring" is still a Do you think North American audiences can accept a movie with a purely Asian face?" Wang Yifan asked rhetorically.

"As far as I know, Director Wang's "The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko" has achieved a good box office in North America. It seems that the film is all starring Chinese people, right?" Matsumoto asked.

Why did the Matsumoto Zaibatsu and other island chaebols enter Hollywood and spend tens of billions of dollars to acquire Hollywood film and television giants?

If you say it's just for making money, a fool will believe it!

In the previous life, after the capital of the island country entered Hollywood, it did a lot of things, spreading a lot of the culture of the island country to the North American market through the medium of movies, such as ninja, ninjutsu, and the sword of the island country.

But those who tell the truth are nothing at all, because the island country itself is a dog raised by North America, just to deal with China, so the North American officials turn a blind eye to it, and the treatment of island country companies in North America is comparable. Huaguo is much better.
