1050. "Infernal Affairs"

In my previous life, although the American version of "Infernal Affairs" won the Oscar, in fact, if the movie was really put in China, many people would probably vomit blood if they watched it.

What a damn thing?

But in the eyes of American audiences, this is what they should be.

There is nothing wrong with swearing throughout the article, because in the United States, this is the reality.

However, the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is a classic in the eyes of Chinese people, but many American audiences in North America will find it particularly strange.

This is caused by cultural differences.

"What do you say over Cao Meng?" Wang Yifan still raised his mouth.

After all, although "Infernal Affairs" is Wang Yifan's script and Huaxin is also the main investor, after all, Times Light and Shadow and Cao Meng are actually the real person in charge of this movie.

Especially Cao Meng, the movie "Infernal Affairs", he is the director. This kind of Hong Kong-style movie is full of Hong Kong flavor. To be honest, if you really find a mainland director to shoot, you may not be able to produce that flavor.

Lin Husheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Cao Meng is also ambitious. What do you think he will say? Didn't he tell you?"

Wang Yifan nodded.

Indeed, Cao Meng is also ambitious. Of course, he attaches great importance to "Infernal Affairs" and even pays more attention to "Secret War".

Because, if "Dark War" and strong commercial elements are said to be commercially important, then the movie "Infernal Affairs" is not only very watchable, but also has no problems with commercial aspects. Moreover, the depth of this movie is also very clear.

But that is not enough. If Infernal Affairs can go to North America, what if it conquered North American audiences?

After all, international famous directors and domestic famous directors have different statuses.

Therefore, it is normal for Cao Meng to be tempted.

The reason why Cao Meng did not take the initiative to ask Wang Yifan for peace is actually understandable.

Although "Infernal Affairs" is directed by Cao Meng, Wang Yifan's influence is also indispensable in this movie.

With Cao Meng's shrewdness, he naturally would not cause any filth with Wang Yifan because of this kind of thing.

Although at present, the movie "Infernal Affairs" does not have a North American release plan, what if?

Therefore, Cao Meng naturally would not open this mouth easily.

If Huaxin agrees, then he naturally doesn't need to say much. If he disagrees, then Huaxin will have to do the things that "Infernal Affairs" will be released in North America.

Otherwise, why don't you agree?

"Since that's the case, then forget it. Let's release this movie for Ali." Lin Husheng had also thought about whether he should contact a North American company to do it.

However, Wang Yifan is not optimistic about the performance of this movie in North America, and he still believes in Wang Yifan's vision.

"However, the adaptation rights of this movie are very confusing. Maybe you can sell it for a good price at that time. Well, it's better to let this movie go to North America for a while." Wang Yifan said, touching his chin.

"What do you mean is one book and two shots?" Lin Husheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, the infernal Affairs model of mutual undercover is naturally conflicting and novel. This movie may not be seen by ordinary foreign audiences, but this model will definitely be interesting to the director." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Just like the previous "Midnight Bell", there is no problem with one or two films."

"So should we do it ourselves?" Lin Husheng immediately became interested.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Forget it. If this movie is really changed to the American version, it is more for awards. You must know that we don't have that much influence in North America, so just make a profit of adaptation."

In his previous life, "The Infernal Affairs Storm", the American version of "The Infernal Affairs", the production cost was 90 million US dollars.

Of course, it is not true whether the production cost is real or not, but at least in terms of directors and cast, even if the cost is falsely reported, it is almost the same.

In the end, the movie's North American box office was US$280 million.

It seems like it's a big profit.

But in fact, this is for the giants.

Because they have their own complete distribution channels.

But in fact, if Hua Xin made the American version of this movie by himself, there would probably be not many left.

First of all, you must know that "Infernal Affairs" won the Oscars.

To win an Oscar, it costs a lot of public relations.

According to the current Oscar market in North America, there is no need to think about it without a 20 to 30 million US dollars.

Secondly, if a movie like "Infernal Affairs" is changed to the American version, it can basically only have a good box office in North America. In other regions, it will also be similar to the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs"!

Moreover, in different worlds, different eras, previous life "Infernal Affairs" was able to win the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, etc.

In fact, there are also great tricks, because Martin Scorsese, the director of "Infernal Affairs" at the time, was a veteran director in Hollywood.

He is an absolutely senior director in North America, and he is also a literary and artistic director.

Connections and other connections definitely have a lot to do.

In this world, it is not clear what "Infernal Affairs" can be made, but it is difficult to find a director like Martin Scorsese with the same experience and background. The key is that Oscars may not be able to achieve anything.

After all, the ages are different.

......

Wang Yifan is not optimistic about the market of "Infernal Affairs" in North America and believes that he will not adapt to the local conditions.

But Ali Media, Cao Meng, and Times Light and Shadow do not see this way.

There is certainly a reason why Ali Media chose "Infernal Affairs" over other movies.

The reason is that the mode of "Infernal Affairs" and the mode of undercover each other naturally give people a bright feeling.

And the saying of Infinite Hell is also eye-catching.

For Ah Li, since she has developed a global film strategy, she naturally has to make achievements.

Obviously, most people are still waiting and watching. After all, the so-called globalization strategy is still stuck on the slogan. Although Ah Li did acquire Imperial Cinemas, the specific effect is still a matter of different opinions.

Some small companies are naturally very moved, but the key is that Ah Li doesn’t like it.

A strategic plan such as a globalization strategy naturally requires strategic big productions to charge forward.

"Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly selected by Ali Media as the pioneer of their globalization strategy after screening!

Once "Infernal Affairs" is successful, then after seeing the results, the globalization strategy will not worry about lack of business.

Some people are optimistic, some are pessimistic, and some are disregarded.

The optimistic people are naturally Ali and Cao Meng.

Cao Meng is extremely concerned about "Infernal Affairs", and he also has high confidence in this movie.
