Chapter 877: .doubt

The final box office of "Dear" movie was just over 500 million, so it was released.
There is no way, even if it is such a box office, it is already the result of multiple efforts.
This kind of movie cannot naturally become a hit. To be a hit, it is still a commercial movie.
On the other side, Wang Yifan also encountered a little trouble.
The "Titanic" thing must be a collaboration with Hollywood film companies. After all, if this film is really to be made, then it must be a collaboration, otherwise it will be troublesome in many aspects.
Although both Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group are very interested in cooperating to create such an epic blockbuster.
But it doesn't mean that they really have no doubts about it.
First of all, the prototype event of "Titanic", the sinking of the Jenny, is actually a story of Europeans and Americans.
But this story is to be directed and filmed by Wang Yifan, which makes them quite worried.
In particular, they hesitated even more when they learned that Wang Yifan still wanted to adapt the story of the dual main line.
After all, the funds involved in this cooperation are not small, including costs such as distribution and publicity. Even if the three companies cooperate together, each of them will cost at least tens of millions of dollars.
Don't think that tens of millions of dollars is not much. In fact, even for these old giants in Hollywood, tens of millions of dollars is not a small amount, let alone, not necessarily enough.
Moreover, the payment cycle is too long. For such a big production, it would take two years to say less. Coupled with the announcement and release, it is considered good that the payment can be returned in three years.
Therefore, they must also consider many issues.
"Tell me what your concerns are!" Wang Yifan didn't think there was any problem.
Thinking in another way, he will also have doubts. After all, it is a big business involving several hundred million dollars, and no amount of caution can be overstated.
Even if it is a major Hollywood director, such a large production with a cost of hundreds of millions will not be able to handle it in a short while.
Mina is in charge of the negotiation this time with a vice president named Nari.
And this time Matsumoto Universal is not the former high-level island country, but a white high-level, Tony.
Well, don't get me wrong, it's not the Tony who washes, cuts and blows! It's not Tony's big either. It was Tony Jett.
In fact, it seems that Matsumoto Group acquired Universal, but in fact, in North America, most of Matsumoto Global’s presidents and executives are still North American professional managers.
Tony and Nari looked at each other, and in the end Tony Jett said: "Wang, you have proven your appeal and strength in the Asian market, but IMHO, in North America and Europe, Director Wang, Your work did not achieve results like those in Asia, and the amount of money involved in shooting the Jenny shipwreck incident was too great. Before the start of this project cooperation, we commissioned a survey company to conduct an offline survey. But this survey is The result is very unsatisfactory. More than 80% of people don’t think that an Asian director can take good pictures of the Jenny shipwreck.
"Moreover, many descendants of the Jenny are also very resistant to this matter. Of course, their opinions are not that important, but we must take this into consideration. At the same time, we are also worried about this project!" Tony Jett continued.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, "So, what do you mean?"
Wang Yifan didn't say anything, you don't want to cooperate, some are willing to cooperate.
Since it is a cooperation, it is natural to allow the other party to raise questions. After all, this is a big business and cannot be decided with a single shot.
In fact, their worries are not unreasonable. Wang Yifan would have confidence if they were to shoot according to the original version, but if they wanted to create a dual mainline, it would really not be so easy. He didn't have much confidence himself. , Easier said than done, but really difficult to do.
Currently Wang Yifan has no clue about the script. Why did the previous "Titanic" become popular? Why is it a classic?
It is because the love between Jack and Ruth, if there is no love between Jack and Ruth, then this movie, let alone the glorious human nature, the ugly human nature, and what disasters are all clouds.
The real core lies in eternal love!
So this is what Wang Yifan thinks is the hardest to change.
He was like that, let alone Tony and Nari.
The only advantage he has is his influence and achievements in Asia, as well as the past that he has never missed.
But these alone are obviously not enough. Of course, he can completely ignore them and do it himself, but this is obviously not a long-term solution.
Therefore, if possible, Wang Yifan still hopes to cooperate and win-win.
After all, in business, since we have cooperated, no one wants to have problems suddenly in the process of cooperation.
Therefore, all things, whether they are worried or doubtful, it is best to be able to negotiate before cooperation.
This time it was Mina’s representative Nari Dane who spoke:
We hope that before shooting the Pearl’s shipwreck adaptation film project, Wang can personally direct a work for European and American audiences. After all, the Pearl’s shipwreck is real. The events that happened are different from other movies, and if Director Wang can prove your strength with a movie, then we believe that fans will definitely change their views."
"I understand what you mean." Wang Yifan nodded, but he understood.
After all, although Wang Yifan is killing the Quartet in Asia, it can be said that he has no rivals, but in North America, Wang Yifan’s movies do not seem to be good, but they are only good, and the key is that those movies are almost all Asian faces. For them, they are outsiders.
Don’t underestimate this. Why do many foreign films find it difficult to achieve good results in North America, the world’s largest market, not only because of the plot and cultural habits of the film, but also because it is inevitable. It is a sense of identity.
In the first days of Hollywood, movies weren't about killing all parties.
At the beginning, they also relied on film technology and special effects to open up markets everywhere, and then slowly began to develop a sense of identity.
At the beginning, movies from China were introduced. In fact, most of the people in China did not watch celebrities, but were shocked by their special effects and scenes.
After that is the subtle influence.
Obviously, China, or Asian films do not have such influence.
Therefore, movies made with purely Asian faces, even if they sell well in Asia, will still be inconsistent in North America.
This is the biggest reason!
