Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 420 Exposure of identity, the gap in the movie (please recommend and collect)
What is the Walt Disney Company?
That is the existence of one of the six Big Macs in Hollywood. Since the annexation of Marvel, the market value has been rising steadily, and now it has reached 2000 billion US dollars.

The news that Zhang Xiao turned out to be a shareholder of Disney was simply too shocking.

After Dou Wentao was stunned for a few seconds, his heart burst into ecstasy.

Zhang Xiao announced that he is a shareholder of Disney on this program, and this news alone can cause the ratings of their round table program to skyrocket.

Great.

Dou Wentao took a long breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are scaring us a little bit."

Ma Weidu looked at Zhang Xiao and asked, "When did you become a shareholder of Disney, can you tell me?"

"There's nothing I can't say." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Three years ago, I invested in Marvel's movie "Iron Man". At that time, Marvel was only one step away from bankruptcy and the finances were very tight, so I bought it. 50% stake."

"Later, "Iron Man" was successful, and Disney wanted to buy it, so I used the equity replacement method to become one of Disney's shareholders."

Upon hearing this, Liang Wendao exclaimed, "Iron Man is actually invested by you?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and said, "Maybe everyone didn't notice that in the column of the producer of the film, there is a name called Bruce Zhang, and this is the English name I randomly named after Bruce Lee's predecessor. "

Dou Wentao sighed: "No wonder Disney attaches so much importance to your film, it turns out there is such a big brother reason in it."

Ma Weidu narrowed his eyes again and asked, "Does Wu Jin know about this?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Brother Jin and Brother Jie should know the whole thing first."

Ma Weidu said angrily: "When I go back next time, I have to settle accounts with the two of them. They don't treat me as a friend too much."

Zhang Xiao laughed, and said: "Mr. Ma, you can't drink with them when it comes to drinking, and even less so when it comes to fighting. I just want to ask, how do you plan to settle accounts with them?"

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Both Dou Wentao and Liang Wendao burst out laughing.

Ma Weidu shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "How did I make such a group of friends?"

"Round Table Pie" is a very interesting program. There is no audience and no interaction. There are only four people sitting there, talking dryly while drinking tea.

But the ratings and word-of-mouth are incomparable. I have to say that Dou Wentao, Ma Weidu, Liang Wendao and other guests are indeed Chinese.

Dou Wentao brought the topic to Zhang Xiao's filming again, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you have made many films in Hollywood, and almost every step has sold well at the box office. What do you think of Hollywood films and our domestic films? What's the difference? Why can't we just beat others?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Mr. Dou, your question is a bit big, but I have considered this question before."

"In general, I think there are two aspects. The first is cultural differences, and the second is the environment of the movie."

"How do you say that?" Dou Wentao continued to ask.

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "Cultural differences are easy to understand. The lighthouse country has only been established for two or three hundred years, and the movies it makes don't have a sense of history, and basically everyone can understand what's going on."

"But the literary films of our country, let alone foreigners, are domestic movie fans. How many people can really understand them?"

Liang Wendao interjected, and said, "You mean that the culture of our country in Hua is too profound, and instead it has become an obstacle to the development of movies?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case."

Ma Weidu said: "I am a layman when it comes to movies, but I agree with Zhang Xiao's opinion."

"Our Huaguo culture is too profound, and many things cannot be translated into foreign languages ​​at all, especially some wayward directors, who use the camera to express their profound thoughts. Who can understand this stuff?"

Liang Wendao ended up talking, and said: "Including myself, I really don't understand many of the current movies. After watching them, I don't know what the director wants to express."

Dou Wentao nodded and said, "This is a literary film, what about a commercial film?"

Zhang Xiao explained: "For commercial films, the main problem is the film environment. We don't have a super-large entertainment company with global distribution like Disney and Universal."

"In China, our entertainment company is willing to spend [-] million dollars to make a movie, which is considered a huge investment, but what about in Hollywood? Their movies must cost at least more than [-] million U.S. dollars, which is considered a big investment."

"And they are willing to spend a lot of money to make big scenes, like the seventh and eighth steps of "The Fast and the Furious" in which I participated, the investment cost of each part is more than [-] million U.S. dollars."

"In comparison, we can see the gap between the two sides. If there is such a big gap in investment, the difference in special effects will only be greater."

"Foreigners can't understand literary and artistic films, and commercial films are afraid of losing money, so they dare not spend money to make big ones. In this way, there will naturally be a huge gap between our films and Hollywood films."

Zhang Xiao's remarks were approved by the three present, and Dou Wentao then asked: "Then how do you think this gap can be narrowed?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "We people can't solve it, because this is not just a film problem, it is also a commercial problem."

"However, I hope that future directors will have a global vision and be able to find a balance between Huaguo culture and Waiguo culture, so as to break into the world film industry."

"In this regard, director Ang Lee is undoubtedly the best filmmaker."

Hearing this, Dou Wentao asked curiously: "What about you, do you count?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "For the time being, I'm working hard on this. "Wandering Planet" was a work that tested the water before, but fortunately it succeeded."

"And the next "Interstellar" is the work I want to make a breakthrough in domestic films. I hope it will be successful."

Liang Wendao looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, what you said is about the big aspects, what about the small aspects, for example, is there any difference between the Hollywood crew and our film crew?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "Working in a Hollywood crew is much more comfortable than working in a domestic crew."

"How do you say that?" Dou Wentao asked.

Zhang Xiao explained: "They don't have to work overtime during the day. If it's a night scene, they will get off work until eleven o'clock in the evening at most."

"But if there are many production crews in China, they will stay up all night shooting. Do you think they are more comfortable than ours?"

After hearing this, the three couldn't help smiling.

Guo Wentao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liang is not asking if you will work overtime, but what is so good about him."

"I was just joking." Zhang Xiao also said with a smile, and continued: "I have to admit that there are indeed things we can learn from Hollywood crews."
