Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

 …

"Hi everyone, I'm Bruce Lee."

At the table, Bruce Lee introduced himself to those present.

Everyone introduces themselves, this is the first time we meet.

The atmosphere is still very good, and Lu Fang and others still admire Bruce Lee's methods in the United States.

It is not an easy task to gain a firm foothold in the United States. In addition to works, communication in the media is essential.

There are also several crisis public relations, and it can be seen how high Bruce Lee's real talent is.

"It's the first time we met, you really are a good-looking talent!" Lu Fang greeted with a smile.

The intersection of the two is the most. The handover of American works to Huaxia is usually completed by two people, but they have never met.

"Hello Mr. Lu, I have always been curious about you and have great respect for you. It is amazing that you have been able to develop Mubai Entertainment to such a large scale in just a few years." Bruce Lee praised.

"What are we good at?" Lu Fang said with a dumbfounded smile: "Mu Bai's works are all good and can attract audiences. Every excellent work can bring some fans, and gradually the fame gathers, and the influence will be great. .”

"We just did what we were supposed to do. It is Mubai's credit to open up territories and plunder land. He is the soul."

Bruce Lee nodded in agreement with Lu Fang's words: "Yeah, Mr. Chen's ability is indeed outstanding. All the dramas he made are too popular. I watched him set up projects with different themes, produce them and become popular. It's really dazzling. Fascinated."

"I have never seen such an amazing person. Mr. Chen really admired me. I thought he was from China, and the American audience might not like the works he shot, but they liked his works very much. The background of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" actually caused shocks across the United States, it's really shocking!"

"..."

Chen Mubai smiled helplessly: "Okay, start to flatter me as you talk."

"Today, let's clean up Bruce. This is also the first time for everyone to meet and get acquainted with each other. There will be more entanglements in the business between the two places in the future, and it will be convenient for us to start the next action."

"Don't talk about work, go to the company meeting tomorrow, and we will discuss this matter again."

"no problem!"

On the first night, everyone was drinking and toasting at the banquet, and it was easy for men to get closer. After a few glasses of wine, the topic opened up, and everyone became more and more interested in chatting.

Furthermore, in essence, everyone has the psychology of making friends, and the atmosphere can't be better.

However, everyone who came to this dinner party was wondering what Chen Mubai's next strategic plan would be. This is a major event related to the survival of the company!

Mubai Entertainment has gone through several stages, and each stage is a strategic plan made by Chen Mubai. For example, he entered the film and television industry from the music industry, and then entered the film industry from TV dramas, vigorously cultivated the acting skills of trainees, acquired and integrated cinema , to enter the international market......

It can be said that the current scale of Mubai Entertainment is inseparable from the plan that Chen Mubai divided earlier.

Only when the direction is right, the enterprise can go further, otherwise it will be like a headless fly, and sooner or later something will happen.

With a plan, everyone knows which direction to go on the cruise ship, and can use their strength together to move forward quickly.

Let me add a sentence, [ \\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app \\\\ ] is really good, it is worth pretending, after all, you can cache books and read aloud offline!

the next day.

Chen Mubai and Bruce Lee came to the company. Although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't hide their shock.

This is the first time Bruce Lee has come to the headquarters of Huaxia Company, and it is indeed very luxurious, especially in a place where every inch of land is in Shanghai, it is amazing that Mubai Entertainment owns a building.

If the benchmark is met, probably only a world-renowned film and television production company like AMC can have this strength.

General entertainment companies rent more floors of a commercial building.

Being able to rent several floors is a big deal, let alone owning such an independent building, which is enough to show the strength of Mubai Entertainment and the scale of its current development!

"I think everyone should know the content of today's meeting?"

Chen Mubai sat on the main seat, looking around, the leaders of various departments of the company were on both sides, and they were also the core figures of the top management.

"Know."

Although the specific content is not clear, everyone still has an understanding of the direction of this meeting.

This is about going to work after the Spring Festival. Lu Fang told everyone what Chen Mubai said to Yang Guo during the Chinese New Year. Everyone knew that Chen Mubai was going to make a sci-fi movie, and it would be a big investment.

Their reaction was the same as when Yang Guo heard this. They knew that this day would come, but when it came, they still felt it was too soon.

"Then I'll continue talking. When I'm done speaking, you can ask questions if you have any questions. Let's discuss it."

Seeing that everyone was mentally prepared, Chen Mubai began to tell.

"The general direction remains the same, and we still focus on attacking the international film market, and we have already exported many films. Which genres have the best response and box office?"

Chen Mubai first asked a question.

Someone replied: "Except for "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", the rest are horror movies, as well as crime action movies and Xiangjiang's police and gangster movies."

"Also, the box office returns of horror films with small investment costs are generally higher in the United States, which shows that they are more popular with American audiences. Compared with the large investment of "Operation Red Sea", the box office performance is far inferior, except that it is difficult to open up the market in the early stage. , the impact is limited, but if that movie is released at the same time, it may not necessarily have a higher box office than "Death Comes."

"Except for our works, the box office revenue of other works invested by companies such as Hyatt and Emperor is far lower than that of "Death Comes", which shows that the audiences of these two types of films are more inclined to love horror works. , Horror movies from other companies are not bad at the box office in the United States, and some are even higher than action movies..."

As for ratings, that’s not within the scope of reference. After all, to open up the market, it is natural to need high-impact works. The impact of commercial films is far greater than that of literary films, and the box office is the best proof of a film’s impact.

A movie with a high score may not necessarily have a great influence, but a movie with a high box office must have a great influence.

"right."

"Actually, different cultures have created different groups of moviegoers. The different ways of expressing movies is also a question that audiences need to face. Why are horror movies more acceptable to them?"

"Because the essence of horror movies is stimulation, which is the core, and it is the same in any country, but the expression of fear in the East and the West is different. The West focuses more on bloody pictures and the stimulation in front of you, while the East focuses on weird stimulation. Let everyone Fear emanating from deep inside, one external stimulus, one internal stimulus."

"So, when foreign audiences see "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", they will have a higher acceptance rate and it will be more novel. Similarly, the search for horror and supernatural movies on the Baimu video website has always been very high."

"Although there are quite a few other action movies, they are generally different from Western works, just like our action movies pay more attention to fancy sparring, focusing on elegance and agility, while American movies prefer punches to the flesh. The melee of the two muscular men is more popular with the audience, which is also the difference in the form of expression.”

"In the early stage, horror movies were more acceptable to foreign audiences. This is the reason why I chose two horror series movies and continued to do so. It can make it easier for foreign audiences to identify with us."

After all, Chen Mubai is a professional, and everyone listened to his words very seriously. At this time, some people understood why Chen Mubai was so determined to make a series of movies, and continued to make them regardless of the box office performance. It turned out to be this reason!

In other words, as early as that time, Chen Mubai had already planned and executed it.

Judging from the current results, Chen Mubai's actions are completely correct, and the box office performance of the movie is also the best explanation.

"Then we need to shoot more horror films to continue to slowly expand the market?" Someone asked.

Everyone looked at Chen Mubai. If this is the case, it would indeed be helpful to make more horror films and accumulate more foreign fans.

"There's no need to go out of your way to shoot. Too many shots will cause audience fatigue, and the audience for horror movies is limited after all." Chen Mubai shook his head.

"If you have a small cost, you can give it a go, but if you have a big cost, it's what I call a sci-fi movie!"

"As you all know, Hollywood movies have a great influence on the whole world. At this stage, when many people choose to watch movies, the first choice is science fiction and special effects blockbusters. Why is that?"

"Because no matter what the plot is, at least the eyes and brain will enjoy it. The cool and realistic special effects are dazzling. If you are not sure about the quality of the movie, even if it is a bad movie, most of them will choose sci-fi movies. At least you can see the special effects. As soon as the drama is bad, it will end, and it tastes like chewing wax."

"Moreover, the proportion of special effects movies is getting bigger and bigger, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger. This is the trend in the future. The difference between watching movies in 3D and 2D is very big. This kind of realism is more heavy. The proportion of this part of the movie-going group is increasing year by year. , so in order to gain greater influence, science fiction and special effects must be done well!"

Chen Mubai's words are very decisive, but convincing.

All of you here are people who are engaged in the film and television industry, and naturally know that what he said is right. It can also be seen from the box office rankings of movies that they are basically replaced by science fiction movies. This is a trend, and this is the result of audience choices.

It's not that only sci-fi movies have a high box office, but the proportion of sci-fi movies in high-gross movies is getting higher and higher!

All movies pay more and more attention to special effects, which is also because audiences have high requirements for special effects. Special effects and high-quality movies are the result of market feedback.

Chen Mubai suddenly smiled, and said: "I've made this preparation a long time ago, maybe in your opinion, my decision is a bit abrupt, I said before filming "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that I want to shoot a sci-fi movie, you should know I was prepared, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”

Everyone didn't speak, but they all laughed. It was true. I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Everyone thought that there were still two years to consolidate before shooting sci-fi movies, but they didn't expect Chen Mubai to kill him so soon.

"In fact, the production cycle of sci-fi movies is long. It takes a long time to make one film, which is no faster than feature films. I make sci-fi films, and the feature films are for other people to shoot. This does not interfere. Even if I rush, there are others His works are on top!" Chen Mubai joked.

"I'm not worried about special effects. I bought Starlight Animation before to prepare for special effects. You have seen the special effects of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World". It's not bad. As long as you are willing to spend money, special effects can definitely be done Well, I'm not afraid to spend money."

"Someone has to do it. I will make the first Chinese sci-fi movie."

Chen Mubai said: "I'm still quite optimistic. Judging from the gimmick of China's first sci-fi movie, netizens will support us. Even if the box office may not be ideal, it will not lose too much. But this step will be taken sooner or later. , there is no difference between two years earlier and two years later.”

So far, the tone of Mubai Entertainment's next stage has been set. Chen Mubai will be shooting a sci-fi movie.

"When are you going to start shooting this movie?" Lu Fang asked.

"Let's prepare first. This film needs a lot of preparation before shooting, and it also needs to use props. It must be prepared in advance. I will let the crew prepare when the time comes."

"Before that, there is still a movie to be completed, Tao Yaoyao's "Resident Evil", you should know."

Lu Fang nodded and said, "I know."

Mubai Entertainment knows about this movie. When Tao Yaoyao was filming "Prison Break 2" in the United States, she exercised whenever she had time, just to prepare for this movie.

After she came back, she still didn't have time to exercise. She valued this work very much. It was her first work to play the leading role alone, and it was also a rare film with a female lead.

Chen Mubai said: "I'm going to let a lot of cameo appearances, try to increase some influence."

"No problem." Qian Duoduo replied.

"This film can be shot immediately. My film will be prepared first, and the filming will start when the preparations are almost complete."

"Okay, let me know in advance when you want to hold a press conference, and I will arrange it for you."

Tao Yaoyao will also be present at the press conference, and Chen Mubai needs to agree on a time with her to determine the date of the press conference.
