Chapter 252

As the saying goes, if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice.

This is the most appropriate sentence for Robert Downey Jr. now.

After setting up his own film company, he realized that being an actor and being a boss are two concepts.

Actors make money when they make good movies.

If the boss makes a good movie, he may not make money. I have to worry a lot.

Especially now, he is not only worried about spending money to make movies. And worry about the release of the movie.

"Love and doubt", the first film invested by his new company, has officially entered the shooting stage after preliminary preparation.

Because it's a movie with five unit stories, in order to save time. The two stories are now synchronized.

Time is saved, but the cost is increased.

In fact, it doesn't matter. As long as you make a good movie and earn money, the cost will come back naturally.

But a few days after shooting, Robert Downey Jr. found a very bad thing.

That is, although the film invited a lot of big names to help, but its attention and popularity can not stir up.

The reason is that the film is a bit of a nondescript. It's not even thematic.

Some film critics, through some early publicity of the film, have given an evaluation of the film.

"In terms of the name of the film and the structure of the story, it should be a film with literary themes, which is not related to commercial films. Local audiences may not buy it. It may be possible to win a prize, but it's impossible to make money! "

"What kind of evaluation is this? Of course, I'm making movies to make money. Whether I can win a prize is only the second one."

These things are not good news, but they just make little Robert a little unhappy, not enough to affect his mood.

But what happened in the next few days. Let him worry about the film.

This film is due to the participation of Wang Dachun. Robert's first consideration is China's huge market.

He urgently needs to know what kind of storyline can attract more Chinese audiences to pay attention to the film.

So after Wang Dachun confirmed that he could participate in the film, he sent a team to investigate the Chinese market.

The direction of the research is very clear.

After Wang Dachun took part in the film, how much attention has the film received in China?

What is more suitable for Chinese market? Is the current script to the Chinese audience's taste?

Are there any restrictions on their films in China's film market?

When the results of the survey were sent back to the United States, Robert Downey Jr. was in a very bad mood.

Wang Dachun's popularity in China is needless to say. It's almost known to all, and there are countless supporters.

But there is basically no news in China about Wang Dachun's participation in his film shooting.

We can't say that there is no news, we can only say that the attention of this kind of news is particularly low.

At this stage and Wang Dachun related attention, all in his football charity match.

In China, people who know about the film have almost the same ideas as the film critics. They also think that it is a literary film. Moreover, Wang Dachun is not a professional film actor himself, but participates in the film in the name of a guest star.

How many parts can there be? No one knows. Many people guess that it may be just a few minutes.

So this news can't be a hot report.

The news is not the worst for Robert Downey Jr.

Because in this case, as long as we increase publicity later, there is still room for improvement.

But the other problem is a bit fatal.

That is, the film may not be able to be shown in China.

China's film market, foreign films want to be shown here, there is a very troublesome review process.

There are not only restrictions on subject matter, but also restrictions on content and lens.

If he wants to be shown in China after the film is shot, his rating will not be approved. Then the Chinese market really said goodbye to him.

It's just an audit system. Even after the approval. I also want to see this film. Are you interested in introducing it to the Chinese market?

If they are not interested in the film and don't introduce it, all the previous efforts are in vain.

Little Robert asked Wang Dachun to play in the film because of the Chinese market.

If it's all in vain, then it's really nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, so far, such a thing has not happened, there is still room for operation.

Robert Downey, Jr. immediately called a friend of his who works for Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. has maintained close cooperation with Chinese market since 2004.

His friend happened to be in the Distribution Department of Warner Bros. You can ask him about these things.

They talked for a long time, and his friends also taught him some things to prepare and pay attention to if they want to show their own films in China.Among these considerations, one of them brightened little Robert's eyes.

"In large-scale activities or media programs, more publicity and interaction!

This can not only improve the audience's perception of the film quality, but also improve the topic!

As long as it is approved, the Chinese side will definitely introduce the film! "

Little Robert thought of two problems he was facing.

"Isn't Wang Ju's football charity match just such an opportunity?"

The football charity match held by Wang Dachun has no news in the United States, but it has become very popular in China. Little Robert also knows the influence of the football charity match in China through the research report.

"As long as I go to China with Wang to participate in this charity competition and keep close with Wang Dachun in the media, I only need to mention that Wang Dachun is a leading actor in this film, and the attention is not enough to go up!"

There is such a good opportunity for publicity, of course, little Robert will not let it go. Call Wang Dachun immediately.

Of course, he didn't say that he was going to do film promotion, just that he was very interested in the game and wanted to participate in it, but the answer he got was.

"No way, I only intend to invite basketball stars to participate, other industries are not considered!"

Wang Dachun in know little Robert also want to participate in their own football charity game, directly denied.

He doesn't want to be an actor who is not an athlete, but also a "dwarf" in his team.

"Isn't it a charity game? Do you need to be so formal? "

Little Robert has a feeling of being rejected.

"I want to correct that it's just a charity football game, but it's still a regular football game."

"How about I be your leader? The nominal one! "

Little Robert didn't really want to play, as long as he could get involved. I think of such a position for myself.

Wang Dachun didn't refuse this time, as long as little Robert didn't play. It's like hosting a friend to China.

After that, Wang Dachun was about to hang up. Little Robert suddenly thought of something and called to stop.

"Will Scarlett go to your charity football match this time?"

"Why do you want to add people? No, what does it matter to me whether she goes or not? "
