654. Co-production with island countries

The 4 billion celebration banquet in "Edge of Tomorrow" can be said to be a gathering of stars.

Now Wang Yifan has been crowned the box office king of Chinese domestic movies with "I Am Not a God of Medicine" and "Edge of Tomorrow". It is undisputed.

Even competitors, such as Chen Hang, can only be envious and cannot be jealous at this moment.

Because Wang Yifan has been walking along the way, it is not to say that he has not encountered any opponents or obstacles.

When several giants encircled Huaxin, Wang Yifan still broke through the siege and achieved his great reputation today!

However, what Wang Yifan didn't expect was that the influence of "Edge of Tomorrow" was beyond his imagination.

"Yifan, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Oshima Tsukamoto of Toei Island Co., Ltd., Mr. Tsukamoto is here on behalf of Toei this time and hopes to cooperate with our Huaxin. I believe there is no need to introduce you too much, right?" Lin Husheng came over with an island man who was about 1.6 meters away and introduced to Wang Yifan.

"Director Wang, I have long admired Daemon!" Tsukamoto Oshima bowed at a standard ninety-degree angle.

"Hello, Mr. Tsukamoto!" Wang Yifan looked at Lin Husheng with some confusion.

He was a little confused. What was Lin Husheng going to do to bring this Tsukamoto Oshima to introduce him to him at this time?

"Mr. Tsukamoto is on behalf of Toei and I hope to cooperate with us Huaxin. We Huaxin will jointly invest with Toei to establish a joint venture company in the island country and Huaxin." Lin Husheng explained.

Wang Yifan nodded, but understood that although Huaxin is an absolute giant in China, in fact, Huaxin’s overseas issuance strength is not strong, so it’s not enough in Europe and the United States. Southeast Asia, especially island countries, has always been Lin Husheng’s hope to obtain a distribution channel belonging to Huaxin.

Before that, even "Edge of Tomorrow" actually relied on the distribution channels of other companies.

This is the biggest shortcoming of Huaxin at present.

Island countries are the largest ticket warehouse in Asia except China, but the island countries' scam protection policies have made many movies unable to be released simultaneously.

In fact, the best way is to introduce capital from the island country, and the projects jointly developed by both parties, which are commonly known as co-production films.

Huaxin has actually been in contact with film and television companies in the island country before, but films in the island country can really be said to be deserted in China, so they prefer to directly invest in film and television companies or film and television projects in the country, because Chinese films are actually rarely sold in island countries in many cases, of course, except for films such as the Three Kingdoms.

The policies of each country and region are different, so adapting to local conditions is not what you say.

The capital of the island country actually has shares in many film and television companies in China, and Huaxin is naturally in their high-quality goals.

Especially in recent years, Huaxin has exploded in full swing, catching up with old giants. What is left now is that overseas issuance channels are subject to others.

That's why Lin Husheng played the card Wang Yifan.

Now it can be said that it is the right time, because "Edge of Tomorrow" has also received a very enthusiastic response in the island country. Wang Yifan is not surprised by this. In fact, "Edge of Tomorrow" in his previous life is a movie adapted from the novels of the island country.

"We hope that the first co-production film will be personally responsible for director Wang Yifan, please!" Tsukamoto Oshima bowed 90 degrees again.

Wang Yifan looked at Lin Husheng. To be honest, he had never thought about this.

"Yifan, what do you think?" Wang Yifan naturally understood Lin Husheng's thoughts.

It’s just about the movies of the island country. To be honest, Wang Yifan really has no confidence. After all, Wang Yifan has almost no impression of live-action movies in the island country. On the contrary, the animated movies of the island country are said to occupy half of the sky. Even the blockbusters in Hollywood that can conquer cities and land around the world may not be able to pk those animated movies when they go to the island country.

The two-dimensional kingdom is no joke.

A co-production film does not mean that it only requires joint investment, joint release, and then to find actors from both countries to perform, but also takes into account the markets of both countries.

This is more troublesome.

"Crafting a movie with the island country? It's hard to choose the subject matter." Wang Yifan frowned.

"This time, we can try to focus on the island market and take into account the domestic market." Lin Husheng said.

Wang Yifan looked at Lin Husheng in surprise.

"The island market is the main one, are you sure?" Wang Yifan actually couldn't quite understand Lin Husheng's thoughts.

The domestic market is much larger than the island market, and to be honest, Wang Yifan couldn't see the market of the island country. It was a magical country and it really couldn't be seen by common sense.

"Does President Tsukamoto have any suggestions?" Wang Yifan looked at Tsukamoto Oshima and asked.

To be honest, if it were a collaboration in Hollywood, Wang Yifan would not feel that troublesome, but in Wang Yifan's impression of island countries and island countries, except for animated movies, there is no impression of others.

"Hi, I think monster movies are a good choice, and they can take into account both markets." Tsukamoto Oshima said.

"Monster Movie?" Wang Yifan's eyes lit up. Not to mention, this can indeed take into account the markets of both countries.

Wang Yifan remembers that although "Godzilla" in his previous life in the island country did not perform very well in other countries, he still performed well in the island country.

In the Monster Movie, Wang Yifan thought of "King Kong" where Chen Shaojun was busy.

In fact, "King Kong" is more suitable for this kind of co-production method.

Moreover, in China, the inclusiveness is actually quite strong. For example, "Godzilla" failed in North America, but it can sell well in China, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Because many viewers in North America are not interested in foreign monsters, but China does not have this concern.

Of course, if Wang Yifan was asked to film, he would definitely not have chosen "Godzilla", because he was not familiar with this monster either.

In this world, the monster movie he can choose, and "Godzilla" is not very famous in the island country world.

"If you want to have a monster movie, you can consider it."

Although they are both in the Greater Chinese cultural circle, the cultural barriers between island countries and Chinese countries are still clearly distinguished.

However, there are several aspects of movies that do not have such problems. One is a romantic film that is eternal and unchanging in the world, and the other is a monster movie.

In fact, when it comes to monster movies, Wang Yifan thinks that co-production with the island country is indeed a good choice.

Because, if it is filmed in China, the background must be placed in China, and some plots must be avoided, such as the mastermind behind the scenes, such as the official inaction, etc., the domestic review will definitely not be passed and must be rectified, but if it is placed in the island country, it will actually not be so strict.

Of course, this means that both parties can make movies together. Otherwise, the island country's film review will be very strong.
