Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Mike and James also shared many other inside stories about Haolaiwu Film and Television Production Company.

Some things were heard by industry insiders like Wu Hengjiang and Fang Cheng for the first time, and Tian Ming and Chen Feng also found them novel.

After all, Haolaiwu's film industry technology is much more advanced than Chinese-language films, so it's always good to hear more about it.

And Mike and James also sincerely told many of the industry insiders they knew, because these two people have been in the Chinese film industry for too long in order to promote business, and unknowingly they actually have a deep understanding of Chinese films. The circle agrees more, so now they are very sincere in everything they say and do.

After all, they are the ones who want to earn a living in the Chinese film industry in the future.

Moreover, because they are undertaking more and more business overseas, some other companies in Haolaiwu are already very dissatisfied with them. They are in danger of being kicked out at any time, so they are more inclined to integrate into Chinese-language films. Circled.

At the same time, Mike and James' companies have also been actively adjusting their development strategies. Since Haolaiwu cannot accommodate them, they do not mind leaving the ecological environment of Haolaiwu. Relying on their own technology and resources, if they can If we focus on overseas business, although it is not as good as Haolaiwu, it will not be worse.

In Haolaiwu, their technical conditions and business capabilities are basically at the bottom, but in some overseas places, their technology and business are top-notch. As long as they develop properly, they can survive relatively comfortably.

Moreover, in fact, some companies in Haolaiwu have not been easy to get along with in recent years. Because the competition in the Haolaiwu market is fierce, the prices of some local film products are generally lowered, while for some overseas works, the overseas box office share is very low. , so the profit is not too much, which ultimately leads to the film producers trying desperately to reduce costs, which makes many independent post-production special effects companies struggling.

Therefore, in recent years, some large producers have begun to establish their own post-production special effects departments, while those relatively independent companies have been increasingly excluded and ignored.

This is one of the reasons why Mike and James' company is actively seeking overseas business.

However, this may also be a good thing for the Chinese-language film market, because although companies like Mike and James are not ranked locally in Haolaiwu, their technology and experience are still better than those of the current Chinese-language film market. The film market is much higher, and people like them are willing to come here to develop, which will also promote Chinese-language films.

And, most importantly, through the bond between Mike and James, everyone hopes to be exposed to other advanced technologies and concepts. They can also be regarded as providing a special channel.

Just like Beidou Entertainment's "Deep Space Trek", when Fang Cheng and his company were working on the post-production of this movie, through cooperation with Mike and James, they saw many new technologies that they had never been exposed to before, even if Mike When James' company faces some problems, there is no way to solve them, but through their own connections, they can always find other solutions.

This is of course a good thing!

During this process, Fang Cheng's company and Beidou Entertainment learned a lot of new things, which is definitely a good thing for the development of the entire Chinese film market.

Under this situation, Wu Hengjiang, Fang Cheng, and Tian Ming, who knew a little about the situation, were all quite enthusiastic about the two foreigners. Chen Feng also saw some clues from everyone's words and deeds. He also felt towards Mike and Zhan. Mu was very interested and began to tentatively communicate with each other.

…

However, Wu Hengjiang's main purpose this time was actually to talk to Chen Feng about science fiction movies.

Last time at the celebration party for "Infernal Affairs", the conversation failed because there were too many people, so this time he still wanted to test Chen Feng's tone.

Soon, Wu Hengjiang brought the topic to this.

When Wu Hengjiang asked Chen Feng if he had any plans to make science fiction movies in the near future, Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

"Science fiction movies are still very promising. The two films "Deep Space Trek" and "Escape" have proven their market appeal. I also believe that science fiction themes will become a mainstream genre in the future."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Wu Hengjiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, Chen Feng still fully approves of the direction of science fiction movies.

Tian Ming next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, there is really a lot of room for science fiction themes. Whether it is the freshness, storytelling or novelty of the movie plot, etc., or the visual effects of the movie pictures, this theme can be satisfied from all aspects, even if you just You need to do one of these aspects well to achieve box office success. The scalability of this subject is really great!"

"For example, in the movie "Escape", the most exciting part is actually the special effects of the movie. The storyline is very clichéd and ordinary. We could even write a story that is a hundred times more exciting than it, but it's a pity that we don't have it. It’s really a pity due to the technical conditions of the shooting!”

Tian Ming’s words also resonated with everyone.

But the current technology of Chinese-language films is indeed inferior to others. This is also a cruel fact.

When this issue came up, Wu Hengjiang and Fang Cheng also fell silent for a while. The two foreigners blinked and didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Chen Feng thought for a moment, smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be discouraged. If you have good stories and ideas, in fact, with our current technology, we should be able to produce good enough science fiction with a little effort. piece."

"Technology is an external thing after all, and it can even be compensated for in many other ways. In fact, the key is to have a story that roughly matches the current technical level..."

Speaking of this topic, Wu Hengjiang couldn't help but blush.

In fact, when filming "Deep Space Trek", if more snacks were used, the related science fiction scenes could be improved a lot. However, because it was the first attempt, the risk was too high, so the company finally adopted the most conservative plan. This is also the reason why Tian Ming has always been a little depressed.

Therefore, Tian Ming agreed with Chen Feng's words at this time, so he got excited and talked about several related science fiction movie ideas that he had recently conceived in his mind.

Perhaps stimulated by "Escape from the Mother Planet", several of Tian Ming's creative ideas also have similar themes, such as earth disaster, escape from the earth, space war, etc.

Some of the ideas and ideas mentioned by Tian Ming, including character creation and plot structure, are indeed more creative than "Escape from the Mother Planet". If it can be filmed, it should be very exciting.

However, after listening to Tian Ming's story, Chen Feng suddenly smiled.

"I think, in fact, we can be more bold and not be influenced by others and always think about escaping from the earth..."

Chen Feng paused: "Do you dare to imagine turning the earth into a spaceship and taking the earth with you?"
