440 [The gap is the driving force]

After listening to the speeches of Long, Yuan Biao and others, Ye Jin nodded.

Hollywood has various unions and organizations that restrict everyone from doing things according to regulations, with less freedom and more dogmatic and rigid.

For example, the mandatory eight-hour working system is required, even if the schedule is rushed, you can only work eight hours a day. Once the eight hours exceeds, overtime costs must be paid. And when more than ten hours are reached, the crew's diet must be arranged and a comfortable dining environment must be provided...

This regulation increases the production cost of Hollywood movies and extends their production time. Many movies that could be filmed in one month have been extended to more than two months.

However, compared to Hong Kong, Hollywood also has its own strengths.

First, its legal system is relatively sound. Any staff member, whether big stars, temporary actors, producers, or small-scenes, can protect their own interests. Once they join the group, if they do not make any mistakes, even the financial backers behind the scenes will not have the right to fire them;

Second, its staff is more professional. Directors, props, cosmetics, costumes, makeup, etc. are very professional in all walks of life, and none of them are a good person. Even the most ordinary supporting actors show great acting skills, which are amazing.

Third, its production process is more scientific. From the beginning casting, choosing a shooting location, drawing a storyboard, reading a script, modifying a script, officially starting a movie, etc., it is all very professional and effective. For example, drawing a storyboard greatly improves the efficiency of film production and saves the time of filming.

These three points are inferior to those of Xiangjiang movies.

...

In Xiangjiang, unless they are already top-notch film tycoons, such as Xiao Runze and Zou Wenhuai, even celebrities like Wu Siyuan and Ye Jin will be furious.

As for young actors, curry coffee, live-action, dramas, etc., they are even more angry and bullied characters who are always angry and bullied. They scold when they say they scold, beat when they say they beat when they say they don’t pay, and they don’t give money when they say they don’t give money, and they have no place to cry.

And seven out of ten people in the Xiangjiang film industry are unprofessional. From producers to directors, from front to behind the scenes, from actors to supporting actors, most of them have not received professional training, but are just taught by their hearts.

This makes them not professional enough. It seems that actors Zeng Feng once said, "The actors in Xiangjiang are not professional (professional), they are just interested in having fun and never want to improve themselves."

These words are unsatisfactory, and they are venting, but it has to be said that they still make sense. Most Hollywood actors have undergone professional training. Even models and singers develop cross-border development, after entering the circle, they often sign up for classes for tutoring.

Even Joey, who has poor acting skills in "Friends", has studied acting specifically and asked a teacher to teach [Southern English].

Therefore, their acting skills are guaranteed to be guaranteed. It seems that Matt LeBron, the actor who played Joey, was an advertising model before filming, but his performance in "Friends" was very good.

Moreover, the production process of Xiangjiang movies is basically unscientific.

Some crews start working without a script, and they have to wait for Feizhizi every day to know what scene to shoot today; some crew members play the show, and they will have to repeat several scenes as soon as they are over. Not to mention understanding the characters, even the lines are memorized; most crews do not draw scenes before the show starts, and discuss how to set the scene after they arrive at the shooting location, which is a waste of time.

These are the shortcomings of Xiangjiang movies.

Before coming to Hollywood, I didn’t know how people filmed here. There were no mountains or troughs. Therefore, Jackie Chan and others didn’t know that Hong Kong film production was so backward.

Now that they have come, after filming "Dragon Hard 2", they really understand why Hollywood is Hollywood.

"We are really far from each other." The three of them couldn't help but sigh.

This gap is not just capital, but a gap from system to people, from hardware to software. Once this gap is truly realized, it will make people feel helplessly suffocated.

"Okay, you can realize the gap between Hollywood and Hong Kong, which is already a kind of improvement." Ye Jin smiled. "In the future, transplant the strengths of Hollywood to the Hong Kong film industry to make up for the shortcomings. At that time, not only will you become the pioneers of Hong Kong films, but also Hong Kong films can also develop well. Perhaps in the future, your names will be left in the history of Hong Kong films."

After hearing what he said, Jackie Chan and the other two suddenly lit up their eyes.

Leave a name in film history?! This is really tempting for them. They are all from opera troupes and often have to play loyal ministers and good generals, talented men and beautiful women on the stage. Naturally, they also hope that they can leave a name in film history. In decades or hundreds of years, there will be later generations who will remember them. Perhaps at that time, they will still make their lives into movies and screen them on the big screen, which is really fun to think about.

"Yes, Mr. Ye." The three of them nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, do we still have the opportunity to develop in Hollywood in the future?" Jackie Chan asked suddenly.

He was worried that if he stayed in Hong Kong to develop Hong Kong movies, wouldn’t it mean that he would not be able to come to Hollywood in the future?

"Of course there is a chance." Ye Jin smiled, "In two years, I will let you come to Hollywood again. At that time, you will no longer be a supporting role for anyone, but a real protagonist."

"Really?!" Hearing that he said, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Dong Wei and others couldn't help but feel excited.

It's really rare to be the protagonist in a Hollywood movie.

"Of course." Ye Jin smiled.

...

After the party, the next day, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Dong Wei, Zhao Yazhi and others took a plane back to Xiangjiang.

Ye Jinze and Mai Jiashang started the late production of the movie "Dragon Hard Boy 2". At the same time, the release of "Dragon Hard Boy 2" also began.

Ye Jin first brought the roughly cut version of "Dragon Hard 2" to Warner Pictures and screened it in their trial room. Although it was just a rough cut version, the essence of the film was already there.

It is different from the streamlined version, that is, the story rhythm, movie duration, dubbing, soundtrack, color tuning, subtitles, etc. But overall, you can tell whether a movie is worth selling from the rough version.

Although most of the actors in "Dragon Hard 2" are Chinese, because the story is good, the fights are exciting, and the halo of the first big-selling movie, Warner Pictures quickly decided to help Ye Jin release the movie.

However, Ye Jin did not agree to it immediately. He then brought the movie to visit several companies such as Universal, Paramount, Columbia, etc., and recommended the movie "Dragon Hard 2" to them.

These giants also expressed interest.

It's May now, and in two more months, it's the hot summer season. During the summer season, teenagers are the main force in watching movies. "Dragon Hard Boy 2" is a movie suitable for teenagers to watch, and it will definitely make money when it is released during the summer season.

Therefore, several giants are scrambling for this.
