After returning from the premiere of "Wolf Warrior", Yang Hao's mind was completely focused on his new film "The Witch".

Thanks to the director max skills granted by the system, Yang Hao has already mastered the 3D shooting technology, so he is not too worried about this.

What worries Yang Hao most is how to release the movie "The Witch" worldwide.

In the past few years since his debut, he has been working in the domestic entertainment industry and has little interaction with the United States. It is very troublesome to release "The Witch" worldwide.

China Film Building, Ci Peikang’s office.

Yang Hao and Ci Peikang sat opposite each other. The secretary made tea for them and walked out of the room, leaving the space for them.

"What a rare guest, Yang Hao, what brings you here today?" Ci Peikang took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

"Mr. Ci, look at what you said. Can't I come to you if there is nothing wrong? Can't I just come to visit you?"

"Haha, I didn't know that you are the kind of person who never comes to visit for no reason. Tell me what the matter is. I will definitely help if I can," Ci Peikang said with a smile, putting down the teacup.

"Mr. Ci, today I just want to ask you about the process for our Chinese films to be released overseas?" Having said that, Yang Hao did not hold back and stated his intention directly.

"Released overseas?" Ci Peikang was thinking about what Yang Hao meant by saying this.

Yang Hao’s record in the film industry is so brilliant that he is the only billion-dollar producer in the industry.

Yang Hao is Ci Peikang's key focus, and Ci Peikang knows all his current projects clearly.

The films that Yang Hao has invested in and have not yet been released include "Go Away Tumor Man" and "Bridget Jones in Seattle", but these two films are domestic romance films and have no market overseas.

Then why did Yang Hao ask about overseas releases?
Could it be that this kid Yang Hao has a new movie?
And the new movie is also planned to be released overseas?
Today, Yang Hao’s achievements in commercial films can be said to be No. 1 in Chinese entertainment, and there is no dispute about this.

If Yang Hao wants to go further, he has to seek global box office.

After thinking this through, Ci Peikang felt more and more that his guess was correct.

Today, the Chinese film industry is becoming more and more prosperous. In 2014, the total box office reached 312 billion, making it the second largest box office in the world.

However, the international influence of Chinese films is declining.

More than a decade ago, Chinese martial arts films, costume films and some underground films were still quite well-known overseas.

But nowadays, the big hit movies in China every year are comedies, romances, and military-themed movies like "Wolf Warrior", which have no market overseas at all.

The film industry, which seems to be increasingly prosperous, has actually fallen into the embarrassing situation of being a self-contained circle.

Ci Peikang is a witness to Yang Hao's growth.

In Ci Peikang's eyes, Yang Hao is a complete genius.

If someone else said they wanted to enter Hollywood, he would definitely think that person was arrogant, but this was Yang Hao, a filmmaker who had never failed.

Ci Peikang thought it was reasonable for Yang Haohao to enter Hollywood and even thought he could succeed.

"Yang Hao, is your new movie going to be released overseas?" Thinking of Yang Hao's entry into Hollywood, Ci Peikang couldn't help but feel excited.

"I do have this idea for the next movie," Yang Hao smiled helplessly and gave an affirmative answer when he heard Ci Peikang's question.

What an old fox! I was just asking about the process of releasing Chinese films overseas, but Ci Peikang already knew what I would do next.

"Is there a script?"

Yang Hao's screenwriting skills are recognized in the circle. Ci Peikang is now very interested in the script of Yang Hao's next movie.

He was very curious about what amazing script Yang Hao was going to use to break into Hollywood.

"Here," having said this, Yang Hao could no longer hide it and directly took out the script he brought from his briefcase and handed it to Ci Peikang.

When I took the script handed to me by Yang Hao, the first thing I saw was the title of the script.

"The Witch"

It was hard to tell what type of script it was from the name, so Ci Peikang calmed down, opened the script, and continued reading.

Exciting, refreshing and cool.

After reading the script in one breath, Ci Peikang could only think of these few words to describe it.

Ci Peikang has been working in the entertainment industry for many years and has handled countless excellent scripts.

Some scripts are tear-jerking, some are hilarious, and some have plot twists and turns.

But he has rarely seen such a purely exciting and thrilling script.

The story of "Witch" is really too simple and too straightforward. It is just a story of revenge of a beautiful girl.

At this moment, Ci Peikang thought of Hollywood superheroes, which are also very simple and straightforward stories, but can be popular all over the world.

Isn’t the script of “The Witch” the Asian version of a superhero?
"Good script, good story," Ci Peikang couldn't help but applaud.

Ci Peikang glanced at Yang Hao again at this time. He was still so confident and so young.

Suddenly, an idea came to Ci Peikang's mind that he himself could hardly believe, "Maybe the movie "The Witch" will be as popular as American superheroes?"

"China Film Corporation has invested in this movie," Ci Peikang said in a firm voice.

Just for Yang Hao's reputation.

This movie is meant to impact Hollywood.

He must also invest in China Film.

"Then Mr. Ci, let's just follow the old rules." The overseas release of this movie will require more effort from China Film. Even if Mr. Ci Peikang doesn't say anything, Yang Hao will drag him along. Without him, this movie just can't be released.

"Okay, let's follow the old rules," Ci Peikang nodded in agreement.

The general cooperation was agreed upon, and then Ci Peikang introduced to Yang Hao the general process of Chinese films being released in the United States.

Now when China Film Group introduces American blockbusters, the box office revenue share is 25%.

When Chinese films are released in the United States, the box office share is roughly around 25%, and the exact amount depends on how the negotiations are conducted with the distributor.

Although Yang Hao's movies have been successful in China, this is the first time they are released overseas, so the share of the box office will definitely not be too high.
-
The entertainment industry is so small that it is impossible to hide news. As long as there is a little movement, it will soon be known to everyone.

Ci Peikang introduced American distributors to Yang Hao for several days in a row, and this was soon discovered by people in the industry.

In Huayi Building, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were sitting in their office discussing this matter.

"It seems that Yang Hao has been in frequent contact with American distributors recently. Is he planning to make some big move?"

"Zhongjun, do you have any inside information?" Wang Zhonglei asked his brother with a puzzled look.

"Brother, is Yang Hao going to have a crazy idea to release the movie "Detective Chinatown" overseas?" Wang Zhongjun tentatively answered. "Foreigners can't understand the jokes in a comedy like "Detective Chinatown". It's impossible for it to have much box office overseas. Yang Hao is so smart that he probably doesn't realize this." Wang Zhongjun thought about his brother's answer, then shook his head and rejected it.

Just then, Wang Zhonglei's cell phone rang.

"Brother, I'm taking a call. It may be related to Yang Hao's recent actions." Wang Zhonglei looked at the caller ID on his phone. It was a friend of his at China Film Group, who was very well-informed.

"Go, go," Wang Zhongjun waved to his brother.

The phone call lasted about seven or eight minutes before Wang Zhonglei returned.

"Brother, Yang Hao is indeed making big moves. It seems his next movie is planned to be released worldwide," Wang Zhonglei told Wang Zhongjun the news he had just received from his friend as if he were presenting a treasure.

"Hiss~Hiss..." Wang Zhongjun took a breath when he heard that Yang Hao's next movie would be released worldwide.

"I'm afraid this kid is really too proud. He's won the Spring Festival box office championship three times in a row. The media has been praising him for the triple crown, making him lose his own weight." Wang Zhonglei is not optimistic about Yang Hao's next movie being released worldwide.

Wang Zhonglei admitted that Yang Hao was indeed good at making comedy films, but foreigners simply couldn't understand comedy, so there was no possibility of an overseas market for it.

Wang Zhongjun felt that what his brother said made sense, but he always felt that the matter was not that simple. Maybe Yang Hao’s movie this time was not a comedy?

Wang Zhongjun subconsciously logged into the copyright website and searched for the script registration information.

Script name: "Witch"

Genre: Science fiction, action

Producer: Yang Hao
Production company: Haori Film and Television Culture Media

When Wang Zhongjun saw the information about the script that Yang Hao had recently registered, his eyes shrank drastically.

It’s so unexpected that Yang Hao’s next movie is not comedy, which is his best genre.

Although it was unexpected, Wang Zhongjun felt it was reasonable. After all, this was a movie that would be released overseas, so comedy would definitely not work, but a science fiction action movie was expected to be a big hit.

"It's actually a science fiction action movie?" Wang Zhonglei exclaimed.

Seeing that his brother looked strange just now, Wang Zhonglei leaned over and saw the relevant information about Yang Hao's script on the computer screen. He really didn't expect that Yang Hao's new movie would be a science fiction film.

What happened to the two brothers of Huayi is not an isolated case. A number of film and television companies including Guangguang and Bona have received news that Yang Hao’s new movie is a science fiction action film and will be released worldwide.

For a time, film and television companies in the industry were discussing that Yang Hao’s new movie would enter Hollywood.

Media reporters soon got the news and learned that Yang Hao’s new movie was going to be released in Hollywood.

How many years has it been since anyone entered Hollywood?

More than a decade ago, there were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero".

But since the Chinese film market has been booming, filmmakers in the industry have found that as long as they take a piece of the domestic entertainment market, they can be full.

In an instant, it seemed as if all filmmakers had lost the motivation to expand outward, and their eyes were only focused on their own little piece of land.

Now he is the leading figure in China's commercial film industry. His next movie will be released worldwide and he plans to enter Hollywood.

This news immediately excited the media reporters.

They could no longer hold back their cameras and ran to the downstairs of Yang Hao's company, blocking the door to interview Yang Hao, making Yang Hao dare not go to the company at all.

But does the media need to conduct interviews to produce news material?

No need at all.

The game starts with a picture, and the content is all made up. The words are imagined, the plot is acted out. The news is hyped, and the truth is guessed.

The media reporters who were unable to interview Yang Hao quickly took screenshots of the information of Yang Hao's film scripts on the copyright registration website and put them in the articles. The rest depended entirely on their own imagination.

"Billion-dollar producer Yang Hao's new film may be released worldwide"

"Yang Hao's new movie may enter Hollywood"

……

These media people are good at choosing words and composing sentences. They always add an "or" or a "maybe" to some uncertain information.

It has to be said that these media reporters know how to grasp traffic. The news that Yang Hao's new movie may enter Hollywood quickly spread throughout the entertainment circle and the Internet.

It didn't take long for this piece of news to top the Weibo headlines, and there were countless discussions on Tieba and forums.

The popularity of Yang Hao's new movie "The Witch" is terrifying.
-
Yang Hao's company's WeChat group has exploded. Relevant information about the movie "The Witch" was announced in the WeChat group a long time ago. At that time, Yang Hao said that he would bring the company's artists to play in this movie.

In the end, the heroine of "The Witch" was decided to be Meng Ziyi, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Although Yang Hao's movies are very popular, the company's TV drama resources are also not bad. Several TV dramas produced in succession are considered to be very popular.

Moreover, in recent years, the pay of TV actors has skyrocketed, and the actual benefits of starring in a popular TV series are not much different from those of starring in a popular movie.

But who knew Yang Hao's movie would be so big?
"The Witch" is actually going to be released worldwide and is going to enter Hollywood.

This is a movie with a strong female lead!
If it really becomes a global hit, the heroine's status will skyrocket and she will be transformed into an international superstar.

This is an opportunity to become an international star.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Liying and Yang Zi both felt like they had missed out on hundreds of millions.

"Ding ding ding ding ding..." In just a few hours, Yang Hao's mobile phone received countless messages from good friends.

Da Mimi: "Honey, why didn't you ask me to play the role in "The Witch"? Don't you think my figure looks like a witch's?"

Da Tiantian: "Dear, if you ask me for this kind of big-budget movie, I can help you arrange the overseas release clearly."

Liu Shishi: “Honey, um~hum!”, and added a pitiful emoticon after this message, the intention was obvious.

……

Although she had signed the contract to play the female lead in "The Witch", Meng Ziyi did not think it was safe, because she knew that her boss had many good friends.

I was just a mermaid in his fish pond, and not even the most delicious one.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen to this character, Meng Ziyi rushed to Yang Hao's house.

Lie on the bed and enjoy Meng Ziyi's service.

This made Yang Hao sigh that these good friends were just talking verbally on WeChat, while the heroine Meng Ziyi was really talking verbally.

The gap is too obvious, it is obvious who to use and who not to use.

I touched Meng Ziyi's head and felt that Sister Meng was the best. (End of this chapter)
