MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 131

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

The accompanying deputy director is arranging accommodation for these people.

Kevin and Tsui Hark, who were key figures, were invited to the designated place to have dinner with Zhao Weimin, the person in charge, to find out.

The group soon came to a restaurant dedicated to serving foreign friends like Kevin.

After some courtesies, Zhao Weimin also went straight to the theme.

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

"So, here, we have a request, that is, we have to observe your filming throughout the whole process, whether this can be agreed."

Tsui Hark and Kevin nodded together.

This is as it should be, shooting in the local area, of course, you have to obey.

Kevin said:

"Of course, and I'm confident that when the movie hits theaters in the U.S., it's bound to generate a wave of tourism."

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

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

Chapter 196 Decision Making

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

Not to mention foreign movies.

Kevin thought for a while, and then said:

"Let's put it this way, after the filming was completed, one of the key locations is now generating tens of millions of dollars a year."

Zhao Weimin could not 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 where Samantabhadra Bodhisattva should transform, has had a high status since ancient times.

There are many Buddhist temples and a few Taoist temples in the mountains.

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 rely on tourism to survive.

For these leaders, it is really a good thing.

Zhao Weimin's face was about to burst into a smile. 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 about this matter."

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

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

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

Zhao Weimin's face suddenly became embarrassed.

Opening up the movie market is not something he can relate to.

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

Once the restrictions are lifted, I am afraid that mainland movies will be powerless to fight back.

This···

"Leader Zhao, don't worry, I just want you to act as a bridge to convey my opinion to the top."

"About Shushan, I have a series of films, which I promise 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. After thinking about it in his heart, he made sure to convey it, and it was harmless to himself, and then he said:

"In this 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 brought out the big killer, and this matter is likely to be done.

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

As for whether the United States will have an opinion on him, in fact, Kevin is not afraid at all.

The logic of the capital world is actually very easy to understand. What they do is profitable.

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

Under the disaster, the people of the mainland trust organizations one by one and actively give injections.

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

The people of the mainland do not understand this very much, and Kevin did not understand it at first. It was not until he crossed over and experienced American society for himself that he understood it.

How inhumane can capitalists be.

Injecting black people with syphilis, 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, and based on the most naive historical experience, the American people have come to the conclusion that if the organization sends them free drugs, sorry, it must be something poisonous that poisons them.

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

As for what experts and professors say, they will not listen to them.

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

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

Therefore, the reason why American society is so anti-mainland is actually nothing more than the profit of capital.

And Kevin's actions will also make capital profitable.

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

But now, at most, he can do this. The main purpose is actually to make money himself. Who is not envious of the mainland market.

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

For capitalists, it is difficult to understand that political correctness is necessary for a market of hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

The only possibility is that there is a greater interest lurking behind this move.

Of course these things are in the future.

After a dinner party, Kevin and Tsui Hark returned to their residence.

Just after getting off the plane, after a lot of tossing on the bus, plus eating, this wave of traveling and traveling, even Kevin's body, can't stand it.

Kevin and Tsui Hark had an early rest here.

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

As a major director in Hollywood.

Steve Kevin's influence exceeded 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.

For capitalism, socialist people have a profound understanding.

Being unprofitable is the best description for these people.

It's better to come for profit.

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

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

Not so.

After an emergency meeting, a phone call came to two important people in the mainland film industry.

.....

Zhang Yimouzheng and Jiang Wen drove towards Mount Emei in a car.

A phone call from an uncle called Zhang Yimou.

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, I'm Yimou, do you have anything to do with me?"

Uncle Zhang, as a big figure who has a pivotal influence on China's entertainment industry, Zhang Yimou knows that he must go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident.

After some words, Zhang Yimou nodded again and again.

"Okay, leave it to me and Jiang Wen, you can rest assured."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Wen, who was on the side, immediately started asking questions like a monkey scratching his heart.

Chapter 197 Framing

"Director Zhang~, what does Uncle Zhang have to do with 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 movie market to him."

"Just as Uncle Zhang knew, the two of us are going to visit the crew."

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

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

Jiang Wen was taken aback.

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

"You actually open the movie market?"

Jiang Wen knows very well what it means for Hollywood movies to enter the mainland at this time.

The 1994 film True Lies, as the first Hollywood blockbuster to be officially introduced to the mainland, crushed the mainland films of the same period.

This is not a special effects-based Hollywood blockbuster.

In Shushan, there are Hollywood director Steve Kane, Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, and an investment of up to 60 million US dollars.

If this movie is released in mainland China, it can be expected to have a far greater impact than true lies.

The most obvious point is that this movie is likely to crush other mainland movies from the box office.

If there are two films a year, the pressure of mainland films can be imagined, and other influences need not be mentioned.

In theory, Uncle Zhang could not give this kind of treatment to this foreigner casually.

Zhang Yimou explained:

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

Jiang Wen immediately understood.

If this factor is mixed, it is very understandable.

Then he smiled and said:

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

Zhang Yimou nodded.

Originally they were going to stay for a few days, but now, looking at the meaning, they are going to take part in the whole filming under the official name.
