1078. Stable?
In fact, it is not just Cao Meng and Ali Media that believes that Infernal Affairs will soon have a big explosion in North America.
Because to be honest, the treatment received by Infernal Affairs in North America is definitely unprecedented.
At least the situation of the adaptation rights being robbed has never happened.
But Infernal Affairs did it, and it was not a show, but really liked it.
In addition, the preview reputation of the Chinese community is indeed very good, and many film critics and media people have given quite good reviews. For this reason, these situations have been passed back to China, and almost everyone feels that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" in North America has been corrected.
Cao Meng is like this, the times are like this, Ali Media is like this, and even Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun feel that it should be like this.
Ali Media has already contacted Cao Meng and others and asked them to go to North America to do publicity.
Perhaps before "Infernal Affairs", although Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun and others were famous in China, no one knew each other in North America.
But once "Infernal Affairs" explodes, the male protagonists of the two movies, Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun, will never worry about not being famous.
Of course, because "Infernal Affairs" has not been released yet, publicity still needs communication.
Lin Husheng also felt that this time, Wang Yifan was probably misunderstood.
This is nothing wrong and will not damage Wang Yifan's fame. After all, he is a human, not a god.
"Is it difficult for you to make a difference in "Infernal Affairs" in North America?" Zhang Zirong also looked at her boyfriend curiously and asked.
Wang Yifan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Ah Li's strategy is actually good, but the problem is that the views of Chinese audiences are difficult to represent the North American market."
Zhang Zirong asked again: "But, film critics are always different from the media? Also, "Infernal Affairs" is indeed very popular, right?"
Wang Yifan grabbed the young lady's Yingying's waist and smiled and said, "It's not that "Infernal Affairs" is very popular, but that the creativity and model of the movie "Infernal Affairs" is very popular. Do you understand?"
Zhang Zirong frowned slightly and said, "But as far as I know, Hollywood does not lack movies with similar patterns, so why do they compete for the copyright of "Infernal Affairs"?"
Wang Yifan said uneasy: "Normal, first of all, "Infernal Affairs" is not difficult to find for those professionals that this is a very good movie. In terms of film critics, North American film critics have a relatively higher cultural level than ordinary audiences. No matter how unpopular it is, they will do some research work because of their professional needs, so it is normal for them to give this movie a good review.
As for North America, there are many movies with similar undercover mode, this is true, but don’t forget that the copyright in North America is very strict. If you really put aside "Infernal Affairs" to make a similar movie, then, not to mention whether you will be sued, just say that plagiarism is not a good reputation for their reputation.
Moreover, if I have a good reputation for adaptation of "Infernal Affairs", if these companies are very interested, the price given will not be too high.
Simply put, the plot of "Infernal Affairs" can indeed be transformed into the American version, which is easier for North American audiences to accept, so this is also the reason on one hand, and the reason on the other hand is that the things expressed in this movie are more in line with the appetites of the old guys of Oscars.
Destiny, human nature, dark side of society, etc., so if this movie is really adapted, it must be a well-known director because such a movie is better for the better operation award.
But all this has nothing to do with the Chinese version of "Infernal Affairs".
Wang Yifan continued: "In fact, there are many things in "Infernal Affairs" that are completely different from those that North American audiences have."
"For example, the police in Hong Kong Island and the police in North America are completely different, which makes it difficult for them to feel immersive. For example, drug lords, clubs, etc., there are huge differences between North America and Hong Kong Island. So, do you think the audience can accept it?"
"In the end, "Infernal Affairs" is filled with a lot of lines and dialogues, and these are also the basis for this film to obtain such a high reputation. However, these dialogues and these lines use completely the habitual words of our Chinese people, which are completely different from those of North America."
"Simply put, the main market of "Infernal Affairs" is local and needs to avoid many things. So, have you noticed that there are very few vulgar languages in this movie?" Wang Yifan asked.
Zhang Zirong thought about it carefully and nodded, suddenly realized it, and said in a little shocked manner: "It's really the case."
"Recalling the early Hong Kong movies, as long as they are related to clubs and young and dandy, which one is not filled with various urban slang?"
Zhang Zirong suddenly realized: "Yes, the young and dandy were the lower-class figures of the special era in Hong Kong, so it is normal to speak vulgarly or something."
"Want to think about it again, which one of the related gangster movies in Hollywood, especially those involving members of the lower gangsters, isn't a swear word?" Wang Yifan asked again.
In fact, many Chinese people in their previous lives thought "The Walker of the Stop" was nonsense. The whole film was full of swear words, and various words starting with F started would start every once in a while.
I think this is not a movie, this special cat is just talking swear words.
But the fact is that this is the true situation of the bottom-class people in the United States.
The differences in social structure, social environment, laws and regulations, etc. have led to a world of difference between "Infernal Affairs" and "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs".
"Infernal Affairs" may have a good professional reputation in North America, but it is definitely difficult for most viewers to understand where it is closely followed.
And when the same "Walking Walker" is put in China, it is difficult for everyone to accept the same.
Because of the cultures different.
They think that since they are a villain, it is normal to swear.
But in China, because there is no such soil in China, even if there is one, it is the young and dandy boy from Hong Kong in the early years.
But there is also a big difference between the two.
In this way, it is naturally difficult to break down cultural barriers.
"Then why did you agree to Ali Media bring Cao Meng and the others to North America for promotion?" Zhang Zirong asked curiously.
"Why do I disagree? The potential of "Infernal Affairs" in China is actually almost the same. Whether they are promoting it or not, the impact will not be too great. Moreover, because I know that "Infernal Affairs" must be cold in North America, so how long can they stay after they go? Are you going back yet?"
