"Tsk tusk, this condition is really superior." Wang Yifan couldn't help but said with a smile.
Ari Media is doing a wishful thinking.
You know, "Jenny" is also "Titanic", this movie itself is aimed at the North American market, and even the European market.
In addition, the director is Wang Yifan, the safest in the country.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, failure of this movie is impossible. The only question is how far this movie can go.
Of course, Ali is not doing charity. They are willing to release this movie with zero share, mainly because, once the film is taken over by Ali, then the result is an injection into Ali Media’s film globalization strategy. Strong heart needle.
Look, we can do a good job even for such a big movie. Is it enough to prove the strength of our Ari Media?
"It's very superior, but I take it for granted." Lin Husheng shook his head.
"Yes, I take it for granted. However, I guess they are drunkards who are not in the bar?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
Lin Husheng nodded and said, "Yes, how could they not know that the North American release of this movie has already been set for "Titanic", and the two giants are united. Therefore, this is a retreat. what."
For the movie "Titanic", Wang Yifan went to North America to shoot a "Mad Max", which impressed Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group.
How could Ari Media not know about this?
Even if they food from their mouths, they would absolutely not dare to do so.
After all, although Ari acquired the Imperial Cinemas, in the face of Hollywood giants such as Matsumoto Global and Mina Group, the foundation of Ari Media in North America is still too shallow, and it is still an outsider. How could they tolerate it?
So, obviously, it's impossible for Ari to not know.
So why is there such a request for cooperation that is knowingly impossible?
Although it seems that the price is very high, in fact, it is also a wishful thinking.
And "Titanic" can't be filmed in a short time, so they must have different plans!
"Which movie did they watch?" Wang Yifan was indeed a little curious.
"Guess it." Lin Husheng asked with a smile.
Wang Yifan frowned and said: "The movies Xu Cang, Li Mingjuan, Chen Shaojun are busy with are not released so quickly. According to Ari's needs, the sooner the better, and the best movies that can be released soon."
"Um, how did Cao Meng's movie go?" Wang Yifan asked suddenly.
Lin Husheng laughed suddenly.
"You really guessed it, yes, this time Ari's goal is Cao Meng's new film, "Infernal Affairs"!"
Wang Yifan frowned and said, "But how could it be "Infernal Affairs"?"
To be honest, Wang Yifan didn't quite understand the thoughts of Ari's decision-making level.
You should know that if Ari wants to pursue a film globalization strategy, the domestic one is actually not important, because the original body of Ari Media, although Xinguang ranks low among the giants, its distribution strength is still good.
The key is the distribution in the North American market.
But the problem is that not all movies are suitable for globalization.
For example, domestic themes such as "My Motherland and Me" and "Mekong Operation" are not suitable for the North American market at all.
Similarly, many movies in North America, in fact, are not suitable for the Chinese market.
For example, some North American movies are difficult for Chinese people to understand.
Each country has its own unique cultural characteristics and history!
And there are some things that are difficult to match.
And "Infernal Affairs", to be honest, this movie Wang Yifan never thought about what kind of market the domestic version of "Infernal Affairs" could have in North America.
Because many of the things that Chinese people talk about, their audiences in North America can't even understand them.
Make an analogy.
In "Infernal Affairs", the rooftop duel, which is hailed as a classic scene, would be dumbfounded if it were put in the North American market. You may ask "what are you doing?"
Although the previous life "Infernal Affairs" was favored by North American companies and bought the right to adapt, after the adaptation, the box office and awards were good.
But if you let Chinese people watch the North American version of "Infernal Affairs", you will probably be at a loss.
This is caused by different cultures, different social structures, and different daily habits.
Like in China, when a natural disaster occurs, the army will always go to the disaster relief as soon as possible.
In the eyes of Chinese people, this is accustomed to it, but in the eyes of Lao Mei, it will feel unbelievable.
Because when they have a disaster, the army will appear for the first time. It is definitely not disaster relief, but suppression!
For another example, in China, calling the 119 fire alarm is free.
But in foreign countries, there is a charge.
Even old American civil servants can strike, which is completely unimaginable in the eyes of many Chinese.
But with others, it couldn't be more normal.
Closer to home.
Lin Husheng smiled and said, "People did the job. Don't forget that Ari Media has big data."
Lin Husheng teased a little, but Wang Yifan nodded.
"Have they done market research?" Wang Yifan asked.
Lin Husheng nodded and said: "Yes, according to Qi Dongming, "Infernal Affairs" has great potential, because gangs can be said to be an indispensable part of society in North America. Undercover agents are actually far better in North America than in China. There are many more coming from within China and even Hong Kong Island."
"So, they think this "Infernal Affairs" will have a good market in North America. Therefore, they hope that we and Time Light and Shadow can hand over the North American distribution of this film to Ari Film and Television Distribution Company." Lin Husheng said .
"What about the conditions?" Wang Yifan asked.
"Normal cooperation conditions. Relatively low distribution share. Of course, domestically, they will give certain convenience in the promotion channels." Lin Husheng smiled.
Wang Yifan was not too surprised by this condition of Ari Media.
Because "Infernal Affairs" is not "Titanic", it is impossible for Ari Media to give such superior conditions.
"Give them!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Huh? What do you think?" Now it was Lin Husheng's turn to wonder.
"Infernal Affairs is difficult to make a difference in North America, because this movie itself was made with the behavior and preferences of our Chinese people. In fact, this kind of movie is very localized. I am not very optimistic about this movie. Overseas markets." Wang Yifan shook his head.
"Have you ever watched American TV dramas? Have you ever watched American TV dramas about messengers in North America?" Wang Yifan asked again.
"What?" Lin Husheng was puzzled, wondering why Wang Yifan asked.
"If you have read it, you will definitely find that the police in North America, especially those in charge of gangs, drug dealers and other related cases, are absolutely impossible to be like in "Infernal Affairs"!"
