In fact, everyone in "Infernal Affairs" is waiting and watching.

Especially some directors who are ambitious to go to North America for a trip, the reason why they did not surrender to Ali immediately is because Ali Media’s so-called globalization strategy, who knows whether it will be a castle in the air like the previous big data film strategy?

So, they were all waiting and waiting.

Ah Li is indeed a big deal, not short of money, spending billions of dollars just as much as possible.

The strength is indeed strong enough.

But the risks of movies are really unpredictable.

The failure of the big data movie strategy is still vivid in my mind.

And simply, this time, "Infernal Affairs" will be the touchstone of Ah Li's globalization strategy.

First of all, the movie "Infernal Affairs" is written by Wang Yifan, and the director is Cao Meng.

The quality of this movie is unquestionable. In China, no one thinks that this movie will fail.

But the North American market is hard to say.

Everyone knows that although the North American market is the largest market in the world, few Chinese movies can make a prosperous place.

"King Kong" is just an example!

Many times, it is impossible to imitate and follow the trend.

For example, the monster movie craze caused by "King Kong" ended up with one of the trends who died worse than the other.

There is no way, the threshold for a movie like "King Kong" is too high.

Get back to the point.

Let’s talk about “Infernal Affairs”!

Although "Infernal Affairs" is still some time before it is officially released, Ah Li has already started working.

Because "Infernal Affairs" will be officially released in North America this time, Ah Li must handle the offline investigation of this movie.

Although the obstacles set by Wang Yifan in China have prevented "Infernal Affairs" from being released simultaneously in North America and China.

However, the early small-scale preview can still be achieved.

Although Ali Media is a newcomer in the North American film market, Imperial Cinema is an old cinema.

Therefore, the release process of the movie is still very connected.

Generally speaking, the release process in North America is probably to conduct small-scale previews in advance.

This preview is actually very particular.

First, we need to determine the main target groups of this movie, such as age groups, and race groups.

Usually, when films in China are previewed, the preview venues chosen are usually in Chinese settlement areas.

Then, extend to other target population areas.

Preview is not only to judge the potential of the movie, but also to build momentum for the movie in advance.

As we all know, there is actually no difference between controlling comments and comments at home and abroad.

Just have money!

In his previous life, Wang Yifan was once naive like some people, thinking that North American film critics are more professional than domestic film critics.

Actually, it's okay to say that.

There is really a career as a film critic in North America. Compared with the domestic film critic group in North America, it can be said that it has had a huge influence on films for a long time.

The influential Film Critics Association of North America, today, it may be difficult for people to influence the box office of movies by film critics, but their influence on some awards is really great.

This can be said to be very different from that in China.

But what about it?

Since its development, Wang Yifan himself has many movies released in North America, so he is no longer the Wang Yifan he used to be back then.

I also think I won’t be naive about the fact that North American film critics are really professional.

Yes, in terms of review level, North American film critics do seem to be higher in professional analysis and other aspects.

But in fact, these film critics also accept public relations.

There is no way, the film critics also want to have a meal.

However, compared with domestic and internationally, giving red envelopes and other things, some more famous film critics in North America generally say that accepting public relations is a hidden rule.

But on the surface, they are still relatively independent.

......

When the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" from the outside world was in full swing.

Chen Shaojun, who had been salting fish for a long time, ran over.

"What? Enough of salted fish?" Wang Yifan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Since "The King Kong", although Chen Shaojun has not been as salty as Wang Yifan said, in fact, there are almost the same differences.

"Why am I so salted? Am I very busy?" Chen Shaojun leaned against the sofa and rolled his eyes.

"Oh? Tell me, what are you doing?" Wang Yifan asked curiously.

"Uh...well, I'm really salty. There's no way, I'm so satisfied. "King Kong" is too exaggerated, so you know." Chen Shaojun said with a blink of an eye.

"What about now? Are you ready?" Wang Yifan asked.

Chen Shaojun nodded and said, "Well, isn't this enough salted fish?"

"Do you have any ideas this time?" Wang Yifan never threw a script directly, and then said, "You go and shoot it."

He usually lets them choose.

Chen Shaojun touched his head and said, "To be honest, a big production like "King Kong" is so tiring. I really don't want to shoot it anymore, at least I definitely don't want to be so tiring for the time being."

Wang Yifan didn't say anything about Chen Shaojun's thoughts.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Although many directors are looking forward to being in charge of big production one day.

But in the same way, there are some people, such as Chen Shaojun.

Moreover, there are ways to play large productions, and there are ways to play small costs and low costs. There is really no difference between this.

There are also many people who get high box office at a low cost.

Chen Shaojun smiled and said, "I just want to make some simple movies, such as low-cost, but more interesting ones."

Wang Yifan laughed and scolded: "You are a big director. Can you pursue it?"

Chen Shaojun said disrespectfully: "I want to tell everyone that big productions may be mainstream, but small costs are always indispensable. How about it? Is this considered a pursuit?"

As a result, Wang Yifan looked at Chen Shaojun with a smile.

"Okay, actually I just want to be lazy, okay?" Chen Shaojun spread his hands, I was showing off, I just wanted to take pictures of something simple.

"Let's do this, how about the suspense movie?" Wang Yifan asked suddenly with a smile.

"Suspense movie? I really haven't tried this, but if you have a suitable script, it's OK. It seems that the type of suspense movie in China has never been lukewarm, so you can try it." Chen Shaojun thought for a while and said.

Try making suspense films, although they are cheap, in fact, not everyone can shoot such movies.

And the most important thing about this kind of movie is the rendering of the atmosphere.

To be honest, there are not many good movies in China.

In fact, there are still many directors in Hong Kong who shoot this subject, but the box office ceiling is very low.
