The Director of Music Department - Chapter 1451
After “Hurricane Rescue”, Chen Hang is definitely a target of jealousy for many domestic directors.
After all, it’s not that they haven’t tried it, but the results are not satisfactory.
In other words, with the exception of a few Chinese-American directors, there are really too few domestic directors who have succeeded in Hollywood.
If Chen Hang’s words were heard by a domestic director, he would probably scold you for being hypocritical!
But he knew that if he really continued to focus on Hollywood, he would probably waste a long time, and eventually he would have to go back to China.
Therefore, when he heard Wang Yifan’s words, Chen Hang smiled bitterly: “To be honest, I am a bit unwilling, but I can see that this is always someone else’s territory. Unless you are at the level of Director Wang, you only need to be a little bit reconciled. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.”
“Actually, those on Hong Kong Island who used to be directors in Hollywood may have more say than me.” Chen Hang said with a smile.
Wang Yifan nodded.
For example, Wu Baige used to be the best director on Hong Kong Island in Hollywood, but the result?
It’s not dingy back yet.
Not because he didn’t want to continue mixing in Hollywood, but because he couldn’t.
In the beginning, his violent aesthetics and three-handedness really made him a firm foothold in Hollywood. At least believe he thinks so.
But in fact, it is really difficult for the Chinese to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
Moreover, Hollywood is the best place to imitate and absorb.
Wu Baige has only those three tactics. When others have learned the same, and innovate and iterate on that basis, then what Wu Baige is good at is no longer unique, lacks new ideas, and eventually becomes mediocre.
In film circles, mediocrity is the original sin.
Therefore, after Wu Baige messed up a few movies, no one wanted to ask him to make a movie anymore.
It’s not that there is no, but that even if you can shoot, you can only shoot some small-cost movies. A-level big productions have already closed the door to him.
And Chen Hang obviously has a deep understanding.
“If you have no other plans, I have a suggestion here.” Wang Yifan said with a smile.
“Oh?” Chen Hang immediately became interested.
“Why do you think Hollywood movies can sweep the world and break cultural barriers, even when Chinese people are watching Hollywood movies, the male and female protagonists and social backgrounds are obviously foreign, but everyone will not feel that it is against it? What do you think? What is the reason?” Wang Yifan asked instead.
“Because, subtly, in fact, in the beginning, everyone still feels that it is against the peace, but when there are more and more things of this kind, gradually everyone will become accustomed to it.”
Chen Hang pondered for a moment and said.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, “Then you think that our Chinese film wants to go global, what is the most lacking at present?”
Looking at Wang Yifan, Chen Hang asked with some surprise: “You mean, master the barbarians’ skills to control the barbarians?”
Wang Yifan nodded and said, “Yes, what Hollywood can do, why can’t our Chinese movies do it?”
“In the early years, North America was indeed very strong. It can be said that in that era, North America had almost no rivals in the world. After all, at that time, China had not yet risen.”
“But it’s different now. Our country has risen. It can be said that in many ways, we are no weaker than them.”
“Then what they can do, why can’t we do it?”
Chen Hang nodded, but shook his head again: “But the times are different. At that time, global movies were still in their infancy. Hollywood was purely a dimensionality reduction attack, such as special effects. The markets of other countries have not yet been developed. When there was no shadow in its own film industry, Hollywood relied on a mature industrial system to bring Hollywood blockbusters to all parts of the world.”
“The special effects created by the huge amount of funds that others seem to be inconceivable have broken the barriers of overseas markets.”
“But now, Hollywood movies have successfully become the number one in the world and monopolize most of the market. At this time, it is too difficult for us to enter and gain recognition.” Chen Hang sighed.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, “Yes, but someone has to do everything, right? We are the best group of filmmakers in China. This is our responsibility and obligation.”
“Moreover, we don’t have to belittle ourselves, and there is no need to rush for quick success. This cannot be done overnight, but I believe that as long as we have the intention and do it step by step, we will always produce some results.”
Chen Hang nodded and said, “Yes, in fact, this is the purpose of the Marvel universe plan of Director Wang?”
Wang Yifan smiled and said: “Yes, this is where our advantage lies. The Chinese market cannot be ignored by Hollywood capitalists. At the same time, as long as it can bring benefits to them, even if they know it, they don’t care at all. .”
Those people in Hollywood are all human beings. How could they not know why “Spider-Man” is the Chinese protagonist?
But what does this have to do with them?
As long as “Spider-Man” can bring them benefits, even if they are all Chinese, they don’t care.
After all, the China threat theory has long been a cliché, but what is the result?
They should do business with Hua Guo or do it correctly.
“Spider-Man is just the first step. It’s actually not that easy, but it’s not that difficult. Next, there will be many Spider-Man. So, Director Chen, are you interested in directing a Marvel universe movie?” Wang Yifan sent an invitation to Chen Hang.
This is actually one of his plans in itself.
So many movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe cannot be directed by themselves, nor can they be directed by Hollywood directors.
After all, the director himself can be said to play a vital role in the style and direction of the film.
If it is a Chinese director, even if it is not deliberate, but their own background and habits will naturally bring some Chinese elements to the film.
And if it is a foreign director, even if they deliberately add Chinese elements, in fact, it is still difficult to truly capture the essence of China.
Why is it difficult for directors on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island to make such magnificent movies?
Always feel petty.
For example, “Red Cliff” was originally a war of the Three Kingdoms, which is related to national affairs and determines the ownership of a country’s political power. However, it turned out to be photographed. The young and Dangerous boys on Hong Kong Island are fighting on the streets. It is said that it is the Three Kingdoms. The ancient version of Infernal Affairs.
The same is true for Treasure Island.
Because it is difficult for them to have the tolerance of the central country!
They may be able to appreciate the wandering feeling of the waning wind and the waning moon on the banks of the willows, but they will never understand that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and rushes to the sea to be majestic and majestic!
This is true on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island, let alone foreigners?
