But anyway, he is indeed called the Light of Asia.
This is the title of his movies.
"The Ring of Midnight" is finished, which is also a hot spot for publicity.
With the popularity of the novel "Midnight Ring", the movie of the same name "Midnight Ring" has naturally become the most anticipated film.
The closing of "The Ring of Midnight" is naturally a happy thing for these people.
Wang Yifan didn't care too much about the release time of "Midnight Ring", he was not very familiar with the island country's film distribution system, but Toei, a giant, naturally did not need to worry about him.
Not only that, but CJ Entertainment also attaches great importance to this film. This is the beginning of cooperation.
Although their participation in "Midnight Ring" is not very high for CJ Entertainment, they have to take a long-term view.
At this time, Wang Yifan received a call from Tsukamoto Oshima that someone from Hollywood came.
"The Ring of Midnight" originally remembered Wang Yifan, although he also had a great influence in Hollywood, he knew that Hollywood's xenophobia is not just casual talk.
The previous life "Midnight Ring" did not perform very well in Hollywood, not because the movie was not good, but because the audience in North America naturally did not pay attention to things outside North America.
Even European movies have not been able to win in Hollywood, not to mention that the whole class of "Midnight Ring" is Asian.
We must know that Europeans and North Americans are from the same root and species, but even so, they are still rejected by the North American market.
Take "This Killer Is Not So Cold" as an example. This movie is so famous that it is regarded as a classic in China, but what about it?
"This Killer Is Not So Cold" has a box office of less than 20 million dollars in North America! Far from being successful!
The previous life "Midnight Ring" did have a great influence in North America, and it was even called a model of horror movies that made Hollywood look at it. "Midnight Ring" has a huge influence in later generations, not only the original movie. It is very popular in a small area in Europe and America, and the works after being remade by North American directors also set off a wave of movie watching.
But in fact, the original version of "Midnight Ring" said that it had a great influence in North America only in terms of concepts, not the movie itself.
However, I have to say that the remake of the US version of "Midnight Ring" is indeed a big hit in North America.
The island capital's entry into Hollywood began many years ago. Therefore, "Midnight Ring" is so popular in the island country, so it is normal for Hollywood to attract attention.
"Director Wang, let me introduce you. This is President Keno Matsumoto of Matsumoto Universal Pictures, President Matsumoto, and this is Director Wang Yifan." Tsukamoto Oshima introduced Wang Yifan.
"Hello, Mr. Matsumoto!" Wang Yifan said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Director Wang, fortunate to meet, I have long admired the name of Director Wang, and the light of Asia is well-deserved!" Matsumoto Keno is the vice president of Matsumoto Universal Pictures, but unfortunately, in Hollywood, Matsumoto has been in charge of Universal, but he has been paying tuition fees. At the same time, he was severely slapped by North American executives in Global, and suffered heavy losses.
But after paying enough tuition fees, Matsumoto Universal gradually started to get on track. Although Matsumoto Universal's current performance is not very good among the major Hollywood media giants, it is definitely a behemoth.
Of course, Wang Yifan's identity is actually equivalent to Matsumoto's. He is one of the major shareholders of Hua Guo Huaxin Group, and he is also a well-known Asian leader, so naturally you don't need to be too polite.
"Director Wang and Matsumoto Global have always hoped to cooperate with Director Wang. We believe that Director Wang is also aware of our strength in Hollywood and in the island country, and Huaxin Group has a huge influence in China. I think we have a lot of influence. Cooperation space!" Matsumoto said.
Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Huaxin has always hoped to cooperate with Hollywood giants including Matsumoto Global. However, it seems that Mr. Matsumoto should directly talk to our Chairman Lin Husheng? After all, I am just a Director, it’s just making movies."
Cooperation is of course no problem. In fact, at the beginning, Huaxin also sought cooperation. Unfortunately, Matsumoto Global's price was too outrageous, so there was no need to negotiate.
Of course, Wang Yifan also knows that at that time it seems different from now, because at that time, although Matsumoto Global was acquired by the Matsumoto Group, it was actually not the Matsumoto Group that was in charge, but the professional executives in North America.
Sure enough, Takeo Matsumoto quickly stood up and bowed: "I am deeply sorry for the attitude of Matsumoto Global before. Director Wang believes and knows that our Matsumoto Global is now very different from the past. Therefore, we are very sincere hope. I can cooperate with Huaxin Group. In fact, my next stop is Huaguo. I hope to reach an agreement with Huaxin. Once an agreement is reached, I hope that the first film we cooperated with can be directed by Director Wang himself. !"
"I don't have any personal opinion, but I will say everything after the cooperation intention is reached." Wang Yifan said lightly.
The two giants cooperate in this kind of thing, and it is also the cooperation of multinational giants. There are too many things involved. Wang Yifan is too lazy to care about this. Naturally, those professionals from Huaxin will worry about it. Otherwise, what do they spend so much salary every year to support them?
"I wonder if Director Wang is interested in getting it released in North America? Matsumoto Global can take over the distribution in North America and even Europe." Matsumoto asked.
Although Wang Yifan had guessed it a long time ago, he was still a little surprised when Matsumoto said it.
"Of course I am interested, but, President Matsumoto, you should know how exclusivity is in the North American market. Even so many European films can hardly make a difference in the North American market. What's more, "Midnight Ring" is still A movie with a pure Asian face, do you think the North American audience can accept it?" Wang Yifan asked rhetorically.
"As far as I know, Director Wang's "The Story of Hachiko" has won a good box office in North America. It seems that the film is all starring Chinese people, right?" Matsumoto asked rhetorically.
Why did the Matsumoto chaebol and other island chaebols want to enter Hollywood at the expense of tens of billions of dollars to acquire Hollywood film and television giants?
If only to make money, fools believe!
In the previous life, after the capital of the island country entered Hollywood, it did a lot of things, and spread the culture of many island countries to the North American market through the medium of movies, such as ninja, such as ninjutsu, and kendo of the island country.
But those who tell the truth are nothing at all, because the island country itself is a dog raised in North America, just to deal with China. Therefore, North American officials turn a blind eye to it. The treatment of island companies in North America is comparable. Hua Guo’s is much better.
