The Director of Music Department

Six hundred and seventy-seven. The live-action movie of the island country is dead

"The Story of Hachiko, the Faithful Dog" is actually the protagonist of Hachiko, and the national boundaries of pet dogs are not so clear!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Okay, but you have to try, don't you?" Matsumoto said.

"Of course, I didn't say I disagree. I personally have no problem with this matter, but I just don't think too much about the prospect of Asia's "Midnight Ring" in North America!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"However, I do have a suggestion. Maybe, we can shoot an American version of "Midnight Ring". The Asian version of "Midnight Ring" can be regarded as a warm-up." Wang Yifan thought of the American version of "Midnight Ring" in his previous life. It can be said that the performance in the North American market is really quite good.

The eyes of both Matsumoto Takeo and Tsukamoto Oshima lit up at the same time.

In fact, although Toei does not completely belong to the Matsumoto Group, the Matsumoto Group itself is also a shareholder of Toei.

Toei belongs to the Mitsui Zaibatsu, and the relationship between the several major chaebols in the island country is very complicated.

This matter must not be bypassed by Toei. Of course, the advantage of Matsumoto Group in Hollywood is not comparable to that of Mitsui.

As for Huaguo, the influence of the same Huaxin Group is not comparable to that of Toei and other companies in the island country.

Perhaps in terms of strength, the Mitsui Zaibatsu and the Matsumoto Zaibatsu can beat Huaxin, but a lot of things don’t depend on who has more money, whether Mitsui or Matsumoto, their influence is more in the island country, while Huaxin’s influence is in China. country.

It involves the cultural industry. Huaguo still has relatively large restrictions on foreign capital. Otherwise, the market in Huaguo in the early years has not yet risen, and it has not yet cultivated several mature giants. If the market is opened, it is estimated that There is nothing wrong with private film and television giants like Huaxin.

"Will Director Wang be willing to direct the American version of "Midnight Ring"?" Matsumoto Takeo asked expectantly.

Wang Yifan waved his hand directly and said, "I already have a plan. I think it's best to find a North American director for the American version of "Midnight Ring". the audience's taste."

Wang Yifan is not modest. Take horror movies as an example. If you ask Wang Yifan to make the American version of "Midnight Ring", he may not be able to make a good one.

Especially for genre films, those made by local directors are often the most suitable.

"Midnight Bell" was originally an island movie in his previous life, so Wang Yifan was actually just following the rules.

It can be changed to the American version of "Midnight Ring", and Wang Yifan himself is not used to watching it, let alone filming it.

A director, if he is not satisfied with the films he makes, let alone expect the audience to be satisfied.

Another one, he doesn't want to make too many horror movies, even if he wants to shoot, he has to make more compelling ones.

The reason why Wang Yifan will make "Midnight Ring" is also because this film will become one of the most classic horror films in the island country and even in Asia.

Either don't do it, or do it the best.

This is what Wang Yifan must do now.

Although he failed to persuade Wang Yifan to direct the American version of "Midnight Ring", Matsumoto Keno was still very happy. After all, most of the purpose of his trip has been fulfilled.

Wang Yifan also didn't care too much about the release of "Midnight Ring" in North America. After all, the main market of this movie is the island country.

When "Midnight Ring" officially announced the completion of the film, Toei began to launch a large-scale publicity, whether it is offline or online, Toei can be said to spare no effort.

The embarrassment of the island country in live-action movies is really nothing to say.

Other countries have more or less representative works that can be sold, but the island country does not mean that it cannot be sold, but the crux of the problem is that on the island country, it is those animated films that occupy half of the sky, and they are all IP animation can only make waves in China, and there is no market at all abroad.

As for live-action movies, if you want to come up with a more reliable one, it probably dates back to before the 21st century.

And the reaction of the market has also caused many directors in the island country to transfer to animated films, but animated films, animated films in the island country, are nothing more than nests.

Then it created a very embarrassing situation. It's not that the islanders don't like to watch live-action movies, but Hollywood movies are killing the Quartet in the island country, even if there are official restrictions.

This shows that it is not that there is no market for live-action movies in Japan, but that directors in Japan cannot make live-action movies that audiences like.

To put it bluntly, it is the generation of talents!

That's why Toei is willing to pay such a high price. It can be said that even if the movie makes money, Toei doesn't have much to do, and Hua Xin and Wang Yifan eat up most of it.

But they are still willing to do so, in order to use some live-action movies to inspire the market and inspire the directors of the island country. At the same time, they hope that the new star director plan, which is called the project of turning stones into gold in China, can cultivate so many talents for the island country. A real talent or two in live-action films, even if it's genre.

Although for this reason, Toei also agreed that the film directed by Hua Guo, the director of the new star director project, will receive Toei's strong support in the island country.

At least, it can offset some of the crises raging in Hollywood!

In fact, the island country's film market has long since fallen, but it's useless for them to worry.

In fact, it’s not that the island country doesn’t make live-action movies. On the contrary, go and see the list of films released every year.

Looking at the box office share of domestic films in the island country last year, the number of animated films released was only about one-ninth of that of real people, but the box office accounted for more than half.

In fact, there is another point because the production companies in the island country do not have the courage to make large-scale productions. For them, as long as the film can be self-sufficient, it is enough to make a little money after shooting it in the market. The risk is too great. In addition, the local entertainment industry in the island country is really easy to make money, so most commercial films do not want to make progress and do not need to rely on foreign markets to make money.

Many people know that the animation industry in the island country is well-developed, but who has seen the real killing animation movies in the island country?

No, really not!

Animation films in the island country are also more and more inclined to low cost and big IP. After cultivating an IP, and then making movies, it is almost stable to make money, and the peripherals sell well. How can they go to make live-action movies?

The same is true for Toei, the islanders are really strange, obviously the capital can be said to be very rich, invest in Hollywood giants, acquire Hollywood giants, invest hundreds of millions of dollars in North America to shoot big productions, even if the loss is a mess, they will move forward, but instead Wang Yifan couldn't quite understand the fact that they were timid in their native land.
