Chapter 822 Brother Fan, are you swollen?

Unlike Earth, the Chinese movie box office boom on Earth has only happened in recent years. Before the box office boom, the Chinese movie market was incomparable to that of Europe and the United States.

European and American films, in particular, are directly connected to the global film market. Before the Chinese film box office boom, they were full of a strong sense of self-superiority.

But it's different on Blue Star. The Chinese film market on Blue Star is on par with the overseas film market. Naturally, the overseas film market has no sense of superiority.

On the contrary, in order to open up a channel in the Chinese film market, many overseas films will automatically and spontaneously inject Chinese elements into their films.

It could be a famous Chinese actor, Chinese culture, famous Chinese scenery or architecture, etc.

Similarly, if Chinese films want to enter the international market, unless they are cultural export films, that is, traditional Chinese fantasy, martial arts, national heroes, specific history, etc., the rest, such as commercial blockbusters, comedies, animated films, etc., will more or less incorporate overseas elements.

It's just a courtesy.

Therefore, since Lin Fan became famous in the Chinese film circle with a low-budget movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", many overseas investors have begun to pay attention to Lin Fan.

This attention changed from curiosity and appreciation at the beginning to an opportunity to seek cooperation after Lin Fan's two films became a huge success.

It’s just that Lin Fan has money, people and scripts, and is good at making a small investment for a big gain. He simply doesn’t accept any foreign investment, and overseas investors can only sigh in despair.

However, the emergence of the comic "Journey to the West" allowed overseas investors to see the possibility of reaching cooperation with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan can make live-action movies by himself, can you also make animated movies by yourself? It’s not that they look down on China’s animation film industry chain, but the fact is that overseas animation film technology is more advanced.

If you don't want the investment money, then we can invest in your technology, right?

So, there was this phone call from Xia Shaozhang.

Xia Shaozhang was just a messenger. Whether Lin Fan was willing to agree or not, Xia Shaozhang would not get involved. "That's about it. Muse Animation is one of the best animation production factories overseas, and even in the entire Blue Star. Their technology is unquestionable. It's just that their performance in the past two years has not been very good, mainly because the scripts can't keep up."

Therefore, whether it is to improve performance or to maintain its industry status in this circle, Muse Animation needs an excellent animated film to support it.

The most important thing is: "I think it is a good choice to open up overseas markets with animated films."

Xia Shaozhang knew that Lin Fan couldn't just stay in China all his life, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted his invitation to release an English single overseas.

Now Lin Fan has opened up the overseas market with three English singles and won several major awards including the Grammy Award. It is time for him to start entering the overseas film market.

Previously, Lin Fan also signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Xia Shaozhang. This agreement is similar to the one signed between Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia, which means that all the works that Lin Fan wants to release overseas, including but not limited to songs, movies, TV series, etc., will be handed over to Xia Shaozhang for management.

This means that Yang Hongxia is in charge of internal affairs, while Xia Shaozhang is in charge of external affairs.

Well, Xia Yan’s mother didn’t know this sentence.

Lin Fan knew that Xia Shaozhang's proposal was very reliable, because in the eyes of normal people, the fact that the scripts written by Lin Fan could be a great success in China did not mean that they would also be successful overseas.

After all, the cultural environment in China is different from that in overseas countries. There are too many cases where directors and screenwriters, no matter how successful they are in China, run into problems when they go overseas.

Acclimatization is not just talk, it can be fatal if it is serious.

Therefore, Xia Shaozhang felt that Lin Fan could first test the waters overseas with an animated film. If it was successful, it would mean that the script created by Lin Fan was not unsuitable for the local environment, and then he could start trying to shoot a live-action film.

If it fails, it will only be the failure of the animated film. Xia Shaozhang can completely put the blame on the type of the film, and it will not have much impact on Lin Fan.

Xia Shaozhang was thinking about Lin Fan, but unfortunately he didn't know that the script in Lin Fan's hand could not fail.

Therefore, Lin Fan could only say: "I plan to make Journey to the West myself. Sister Xia is already doing the preliminary preparations. Our Chinese animation industry chain is not much worse than that of overseas. I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard, we can also make very good animated films ourselves.

As for the overseas film market, I have a few scripts in my hand. Uncle Xia, you can take a look at them first, or you can ask someone to evaluate them. If the evaluation result is good, we can start the production stage next year. "

Xia Shaozhang was just proposing. It was up to Lin Fan whether to accept it or not. Now that Lin Fan had given his opinion, Xia Shaozhang naturally wouldn't refuse. He just asked, "Why next year?"

There are still several months left in this year!

Lin Fan: ...I just want to take a New Year holiday. Is that easy for me?

So when Hui Qiaodan rushed to the Earthling studio the next day, what she saw was Lin Fan, who had been tortured by his future father-in-law in the middle of the night, resulting in lack of sleep and a listless spirit.

Hui Qiaodan immediately laughed like a pig: "Hahaha! Brother Fan, are you swollen?"

Lin Fan directly threw a stack of manuscripts to Hui Qiaodan: "Read your comics, shut up!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

For the sake of reading the comics, Hui Qiaodan put her hand to her mouth and made a zippering motion. Then she hugged the manuscript, curled up on the sofa next to her, and read it happily.

It feels so good to come to the author’s home in person and look at all the manuscripts in the author’s hands!

But Hui Qiaodan was happy, but Lin Fan was not, because some readers not only read, but also complained in front of the author while reading! "Oh, is this dragon head serious? Forget it, since you gave my Wukong so many treasures, I won't bother with you."

"Hey! Sun Wukong is dead! Didn't he learn the art of immortality? Why was his soul still possessed?"

"Fuck! This is too mean, this is just a lie! How could you, a kind-looking old man like you, who doesn't do anything, trick my pure and innocent Wukong into raising horses for you!"

"No! I don't want to do this job anymore. I'll go back to Huaguo Mountain and be the Monkey King. Isn't it nice to be free and unfettered?"

…

This barrage can even make sound by itself!

Lin Fan couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister Hui, are you here today just to read comics?"

Will your agent agree? Hui Qiaodan waved her hand: "Of course not. I came to Shanghai today to read comics and record a show. But before I got on the plane, the director called and said that the male guest who was paired with me couldn't come today.

If you can’t come, then you can’t come. I just happen to have time to read comics. Otherwise, I would have to go to record the show halfway through reading. I’m afraid I don’t have the perseverance.”

In other words, Hui Qiaodan was stood up.

It’s the third day of the Lunar New Year, and I haven’t received my New Year’s money yet. No one loves me anymore~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
