Chapter 1050: . "Infernal Affairs"

In the previous life, the US version of "Infernal Affairs" won an Oscar, but in fact, if the movie were to be released in China, many people would have to vomit blood after watching it.
What is this Nima?
But in the eyes of Lao Mei's audience, it should be like this.
There is nothing wrong with the foul language throughout, because in Lao Mei, the reality is like this.
However, the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is a classic in the eyes of Chinese people, but the same old American audience in North America will find it particularly strange.
This is caused by cultural differences.
"What did Cao Meng say?" Wang Yifan still raised his mouth.
After all, although "Infernal Affairs" is Wang Yifan's script, although Huaxin is also the main investor, after all, Times Light and Cao Meng are actually the real leaders of this movie.
Especially Cao Meng, the film "Infernal Affairs", he is the director, this kind of Hong Kong and Island full of flavors, honestly, if you really want to find a mainland director to shoot, it really may not be able to make that kind of film. taste.
Lin Husheng was taken aback, then smiled: "Cao Meng is also ambitious, what do you think he would say? Didn't he tell you?"
Wang Yifan nodded.
Indeed, Cao Meng is equally ambitious. For Cao Meng, "Infernal Affairs" is of course extremely important, even more important than "Dark War".
Because, if "Dark War" and the richness are commercial elements, then the film "Infernal Affairs" is not only very viewable, but there is no problem with commercial aspects. Moreover, the depth of this movie is also the same. It has a lot to say.
But this is not enough. If "Infernal Affairs" can go to North America, what if it conquered the audience in North America?
After all, international celebrities and domestic celebrities are still different.
Therefore, it is normal that Cao Meng will be tempted.
The reason why Cao Meng did not take the initiative to make peace with Wang Yifan can actually be understood.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is directed by Cao Meng, Wang Yifan's influence is also indispensable for this movie.
With Cao Meng's shrewdness, naturally he wouldn't have any nasty trouble with Wang Yifan because of this kind of thing.
Although currently, the movie "Infernal Affairs" does not have a North American release plan, what if?
Therefore, Cao Meng would naturally not open this mouth easily.
And if Huaxin agrees, then he naturally doesn't need to say more. If he doesn't agree, then Huaxin will do it himself for the North American release of "Infernal Affairs."
Otherwise, why disagree?
"If that's the case, then forget it. Let's distribute this movie to Ari." Lin Husheng had also thought about whether he would contact a North American company to do it.
But Wang Yifan is not optimistic about the performance of this film in North America. He still believes in Wang Yifan's vision.
"However, the right to adapt this movie is very interesting. Maybe then, you can sell it for a good price, um, let this movie go to North America for a while." Wang Yifan said, touching his chin.
"You mean, one book, two shots?" Lin Husheng was a little surprised.
"Yes, the infernal mutual undercover mode is inherently conflicting and novel. This film may not be seen by ordinary foreign audiences, but this mode will definitely be of interest to the director. "Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Like the previous "Midnight Bell", two shots in one book, there is still no problem."
"Then, should we do it ourselves?" Lin Husheng suddenly became interested.
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Forget it. If this movie is really changed to a US version, it will be more for awards. You have to know that we are actually not that big in North America. Influence, so just make an adjustment fee."
The previous life "Infernal Affairs", which is the US version of "Infernal Affairs", cost 90 million US dollars to produce.
Of course, whether the production cost is true or not is another question, but at least in terms of the director and the cast, even if the cost is falsely reported, it is almost the same.
In the end, the North American box office of this movie was $280 million.
It looks like a big profit.
But in fact, this is for the giants.
Because they have their own perfect distribution channels.
But in fact, if Huaxin were to make the American version of this movie by himself, there would probably not be much left.
First of all, we must know that "Infernal Affairs" won the Oscar.
And getting an Oscar requires a lot of public relations expenses.
According to the Oscar market in North America at this stage, there is no $20 to 30 million, so you don't have to think about it.
Secondly, if a movie like "Infernal Affairs" is changed to the US version, basically it can only get a good box office in North America. In other regions, the same experience will be similar to the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs"!
Moreover, in different worlds, in different eras, the previous life "Infernal Affairs" can win the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director and so on.
In fact, there is a big trick in itself, because the original director of "Infernal Affairs", Martin Scorsese is a veteran Hollywood director.
In North America, he is an absolute veteran director, and he is literary.
Personal connections and other things definitely play a big role.
In this world, it is not clear what "Infernal Affairs" can be made, but it is extremely difficult to find a director with the same experience and background like Martin Scorsese. The key is that the Oscars are the same. There may not be any gains.
After all, the age is different.
......
Wang Yifan is not optimistic about the market for "Infernal Affairs" in North America, and thinks it will be unacceptable.
But Ari Media, Cao Meng, and Time Light and Shadow don’t think so.
Of course, there is a reason why Ari Media chose "Infernal Affairs" over other movies.
The reason is that the mode of "Infernal Affairs", the mode of undercover each other, naturally gives people a bright feeling.
The notion of infinite is equally impressive.
For Ari, since he has launched a film globalization strategy, he has to make achievements.
Obviously most people are still waiting and watching. After all, the so-called globalization strategy is just a slogan. Although Ari did acquire the Imperial Cinemas, there are still two things to say about the specific effect.
Some small companies are naturally very excited, but the key is that Ari still doesn't like it.
A strategic plan such as a globalization strategy naturally requires a strategic big production to rush into the battle.
"Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly selected by Ari Media as the vanguard of their globalization strategy after screening!
Once "Infernal Affairs" succeeds, after seeing the effect, the globalization strategy will not worry about losing business.
In this regard, some are optimistic, some are pessimistic, and some do not take it seriously.
The optimistic people are naturally Ari and Cao Meng.
Cao Meng is very fond of "Infernal Affairs", and he also has high confidence in this movie.
Coupled with the help of Ari Media's globalization strategy, Cao Meng even began to look forward to the scene of becoming an international famous director!
