After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Page 131

After this conversation, Zhao Weimin's attitude became obviously more enthusiastic. Under his leadership, a group of people checked into the hotel at the foot of Mount Emei.

The accompanying assistant director is arranging accommodation for these people.

As the key figures, Kevin and Tsui Hark were invited to go to the designated place to have a meal with Zhao Weimin, the person in charge, to find out.

The group soon arrived at a restaurant that caters to foreign friends like Kevin.

After some politeness, Zhao Weimin also got straight to the point.

"Director Kevin, and Director Tsui Hark, you want to borrow tourist areas for filming, we can cooperate with you, but as the person in charge of the local area, I need to know whether this will have any negative impact on the local area."

"Therefore, here, we have a request, that is, we have to observe your filming all the way, whether this can be agreed."

Tsui Hark and Kevin nodded together.

This is as it should be, and it is natural to obey the rules when shooting locally.

Kevin then said:

"Of course, and I'm confident that when the film is released in the United States, it will definitely cause a wave of tourism."

"At that time, there must be many Americans who will travel to China, especially Mount Emei."

"I don't know if Leader Zhao has seen the Pirates of the Caribbean I filmed."

Chapter 196 Decision Making

Zhao Weimin shook his head. People of his age are not too interested in movies.

Not to mention foreign films.

Kevin thought for a while before saying:

"Let's put it this way, after the movie was shot, one of the key filming locations can now generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue every year."

Zhao Weimin didn't understand these words.

His face suddenly changed. Isn't this the GDP they want? Not only money, but also an industry that can drive employment.

And Emei City has unique conditions.

Mount Emei, as the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Yinghua, has a high status since ancient times.

There are many Buddhist temples in the mountains, and a small number of Taoist temples.

Coupled with the beautiful scenery, it is a natural top tourist area.

On weekdays, there are many domestic tourists. If it can be loved by foreigners, the tourism market of Emei City will definitely be further expanded.

No way, foreigners are rich, no one can deny this.

The economic impact of foreigners is definitely greater, bringing in more income and allowing more locals to survive on tourism.

For leaders like them, this is really a good thing.

Zhao Weimin's face was about to burst into laughter. If what Steve Kevin said came true, it would be a political achievement for nothing.

Looking at his expression, Kevin continued:

"I have an idea, and I want to communicate with you through this matter."

"I don't know if the movie Shushan will be screened in mainland movie theaters by then."

"As the country with the largest population in the world, I am very optimistic about the film market in mainland China."

"I hope my films can be seen by audiences in mainland China. This is a huge industry that can affect the employment of countless people."

Zhao Weimin's face suddenly became embarrassing.

Things like opening up the film market are out of his reach.

Although he is not a film-related manager, even he knows that under Hollywood's powerful film system.

Once the restrictions are lifted, I am afraid that mainland movies will be helpless.

This···

"Leader Zhao, don't worry, I just hope you can act as a bridge to convey my opinion to the higher authorities."

"About Shushan, I have a series of films, I promise, this will be of great benefit to the image of the mainland in the world."

"Similarly, I also hope that the mainland can open up this market for me."

Zhao Weimin's face looked a little better now, he thought about it in his heart, and after confirming that it would be harmless to him, he said:

"Since that's the case, I will help Director Kevin give feedback on this matter. As for the specific situation, I will give you feedback as soon as possible."

Kevin nodded.

He has already taken out the big killer, and this matter is likely to be accomplished.

Continental earns external image, and he earns money, a win-win situation.

As for whether the United States will have any objections to him, Kevin is actually not afraid at all.

The logic of the capital world is actually easy to understand. They will only do what is profitable.

Kevin once watched a black talk show, in which there were some stories, and he was very impressed.

Under the disaster, people in the mainland trusted the organization one by one and actively gave injections.

Americans, on the other hand, scoffed at the free medicines distributed by the organization.

People in the mainland don't understand this very much, and Kevin didn't understand it at first. It wasn't until he traveled here and experienced American society first-hand that he understood.

How inhuman can capitalists be.

Injecting black people with syphilis and telling them that these are good drugs has caused countless black deaths. The key is that under the power of capital, this is still legal.

After these tragic experiences, based on the simplest historical experience, the American people concluded that if the organization gave them free medicine, sorry, it must be something poisonous that poisoned them.

Because it is impossible for capital to give them free drugs with good intentions, only when they sell drugs at a high price can they prove that these drugs are real and effective, instead of using them as guinea pigs.

As for what experts and professors said, they didn't listen at all.

Because history has taught them that these people serve capital, and believing them will only suffer.

This is what makes Americans so anti-intellectual, because their organizations are not worthy of their trust.

Therefore, the reason why American society is so anti-continental is actually nothing more than the fact that capital is profitable.

And Kevin's actions will also make capital profitable.

It is nothing more than to see which side has the greatest interests. If the mainland is willing to pay, this situation may not be impossible to reverse.

But the current him, at best, can do this. The main purpose is actually to make money for himself. No one in the mainland market is greedy.

You can't be as brain-dead as Marvel in the previous life.

It is difficult for capitalists to understand that it is necessary to engage in that set of political correctness without a market worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

The only possibility is that there are greater interests lurking behind this move.

Of course, these things are all in the future.

After some dinner, Kevin and Tsui Hark returned to the residence.

He had just got off the plane, and after taking the bus for a while, plus eating, the whole journey was so exhausting that even Kevin's body couldn't stand it.

Kevin and Tsui Hark rested early.

On the other side, Zhao Weimin has conveyed what Kevin said to the upper management.

As a major director who plays an important role in Hollywood.

The influence of Steve Kevin was beyond his own expectations. After a series of data investigations, the relevant departments came to a conclusion that Steve Kevin was a foreigner who wanted to make money from Chinese civilization. .

And this is actually more credible than a foreigner who simply wants to promote Chinese civilization.

Socialists have a deep understanding of capitalism.

No profit and no afford is the best description for these people.

It's best to come here for profit.

As long as he can improve the image of the mainland, how much money he can make from the mainland is his ability. The mainland wants to show an image to the outside world through him.

That is, as long as they earn money from the mainland in a positive way, the mainland welcomes them to make money.

Not the other way around.

After an emergency meeting, a phone call was made to two important people in the mainland movie circle.

.....

Zhang Yimou was driving towards Mount Emei with Jiang Wen in a car.

A phone call from an uncle reached Zhang Yimou's phone.

"Hi, Uncle Zhang, I'm Yimou, what can you do for me?"

Uncle Zhang is a influential figure in Chinese culture and entertainment, Zhang Yimou knew that he must be in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

After some words, Zhang Yimou nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, leave it to me and Jiang Wen, don't worry."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Wen on the side suddenly started to ask questions like a monkey scratching his heart.

Chapter 197 Framing

"Director Zhang~, what does Uncle Zhang want from you?"

Jiang Wen came over and asked curiously.

"It's about that Steve Kevin director."

"Uncle Zhang told me that he wants us to open up the mainland film market to him."

"It just so happens that Uncle Zhang knows that the two of us are planning to go to the film crew to have a look."

"After the discussion at the above meeting, it was decided that the two of us would be responsible for observing the filming of the crew and judging whether there is any problem with the content."

"After the filming is over, if the content of the film does not violate the regulations, allow Steve Kevin's film to be released in China twice a year."

Jiang Wen was taken aback.

"Those old guys, did they take the wrong medicine?"

"Are you actually opening up the movie market?"

Jiang Wen is very clear about what it means for Hollywood movies to enter the mainland at this time.

The movie "True Lies" in 94, as the first Hollywood blockbuster officially introduced to the mainland, crushed the mainland movies of the same period.

That's it, it's not a Hollywood blockbuster that focuses on special effects.

And Shushan has Hollywood director Steve Kane, Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, and an investment of up to 6000 million US dollars.

If this movie is released in mainland China, it can be expected that it will have a far greater impact than True Lies.

The most obvious point is that this movie has a high probability of crushing other movies in the mainland from the box office.

If there are two films a year, one can imagine the pressure on mainland films, not to mention the other influences.

Theoretically, it is impossible for Uncle Zhang to casually give this kind of treatment to this foreigner.

Zhang Yimou explained:

"It is said that this movie has a beautifying effect on the external image of the mainland."

Jiang Wen immediately understood.

If this factor is mixed, it is easy to understand.

Then he smiled and said:

"Then let's go and take a look at these two great directors."

Zhang Yimou nodded.

Originally, they planned to stay for a few days, but now, seeing what it means, they are going to participate in the whole process of filming under the official name.
