Ares and others nodded after hearing An Ran's words.

You are right.

"What Mr. An Ran said is right, but it is not easy to do!"

"It all depends on people, Mr. Ares!" An Ran said: "Why are we making movies? Let's not talk about fiction, be direct and realistic!"

"Aren't we just making movies to make money?"

Everyone nodded.

If anyone says that making movies is for ideals, he can slap him to death.

Can ideals be eaten as food?

What An Ran said is the truth.

"It's to make money!" Ares said: "That's why I don't dare to touch those... celebrities that Western audiences are not familiar with."

This is just a euphemism.

An Ran said "Hey", "Ares, have you ever thought about how much benefit you would get if you let Xiazhou Film Company invest or invite Xiazhou stars to act?"

Ares shook his head slightly.

Isn’t it just tax?

An Ran said: "First of all, your taxes will be greatly reduced. This is the first! The money saved is by no means a small amount!"

Everyone nodded.

An Ran added: "Second, everyone has actually seen how big the Xiazhou movie market is now. The number of moviegoers in Xiazhou alone is several times that of Xizhou! And in terms of ticket prices, it is not inferior to Xizhou at all.

”

Everyone nodded again.

In Xizhou, in big cities, a ticket price is around US$8, not more than US$10.

To some remote areas, the fare is much lower than this amount, usually between 3 and 5 yuan.

On average, a movie ticket costs about 6 yuan.

Converted into Xiazhou coins, about 40 per piece.

Nowadays, the average Xiazhou movie ticket is about this price, but behind this is the huge Xiazhou movie-going crowd.

Just like this year, the global box office champion in a single market has changed hands and has become Xia Zhou's.

And not one of them has reached this level, but several of them have reached more than 700 million US dollars, and they have become the object of everyone's admiration.

So what An Ran said, everyone nodded again and again.

Yes, Xiazhou is a huge market.

An Ran said: "So, you should start targeted. Xizhou movies are indeed good-looking, but those with Xiazhou elements are not bad either. Facts have proved that Xiazhou culture has no shortage of audiences in Xizhou!"

"And as long as the filming is completed and both sides please, you won't be able to make a profit?"

Ares smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. An Ran, what you said is quite simple!"

"But this is the only movie like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in many years..."

An Ran shook her finger and said: "This is indeed the only pure Xiazhou culture movie that reaches this level!"

"But what about the "Double Dragon" back then? It contained quite a few Xiazhou elements, the cost was not high, the box office was not low, and it was even adapted into a game!"

"The King of Fighting! A hodgepodge of Xiazhou culture, Xizhou culture, and Fuzhou culture, with an investment of 10 million and a box office of more than 100 million. That was more than 100 million forty years ago! In terms of currency, it is now 800 million

..."

"Actually, there are elements of Xiazhou culture in Xizhou movies, and many of them are blockbuster hits!"

"You can do both!"

Speaking of this, An Ran added: "And I have already laid this foundation for you."

What the hell?

Everyone is confused. Does this... have anything to do with you?

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, An Ran smiled and said: "My Pioneer Literature currently has more than 2.6 million monthly active members, and its subscription volume exceeds 10 million US dollars!"

"Wow..."

Everyone couldn't help but marvel, it was hard to imagine that a website for reading novels could generate such a huge profit.

"Moreover, this is only a text subscription, and comic subscriptions are not included! The novels I have here are all Xia Zhou's online novels."

Everyone's mind was like a wave, rolling all at once.

Yes!

An Ran's website is all novels imported from the Xiazhou Literature website.

If people didn’t understand and accept Xiazhou culture a few years ago, it would still be possible.

I’m afraid this has not been the case in recent years.

Ares is paying attention to this, but because the cultural differences are too big, they can't do it.

Just looking at some of the rankings is enough to give people a headache.

It's different now. Someone on the website has specially provided explanations, and some rare words in it have special meanings.

And the novels written by these people are very attractive.

Some people even became so obsessed with reading the novel that they spent more than two months reading it carefully.

Finally, I was surprised to find that I had detoxified myself.

You can imagine how attractive this thing is.

An Ran said that he had opened the door and smoothed the road for everyone, and he was absolutely right.

Ares thought deeply, and An Ran was right.

If you can make a movie that both cultural systems like, it's not impossible.

And it doesn’t have to be done right away.

Everyone can try to make these things. Once completed, it can take into account the cultures of Xizhou and Xiazhou, and it will not be too easy to make money.

After a long while, Ares said: "I will consider this matter carefully."

An Ran nodded, "It doesn't have to be done overnight. I think it would be good like the "King of Fighters" back then."

Of course, if we shoot like "The King of Fighters" now, it will definitely be Xie Cai's fate.

The second part of "The King of Fighters" just turned off.

But you can take the route of "The Matrix".

The story there is from Xizhou, but the fighting is from Xiazhou, and it is very popular with the audience.

Also successful are movies like "Blade Runner 2".

Xiazhou Kung Fu design is the best in the world, this is undisputed.

An Ran's words made everyone seem to have new ideas.

Xizhou Film has entered a strange circle over the years.

That means big investment, big production, and special effects to attract the audience.

But after so many years, everyone has become accustomed to special effects. If you can’t do something fancy, it will be difficult for the audience to buy it.

Just like "Alien Battlefield", the investment was 170 million, the income was 80 million, not to mention the dismal ending, and it was also criticized.

No matter how good your special effects are, the story is the foundation.

Gone are the days when special effects can be sold for money.

In Xiazhou, the most indispensable thing is good stories and scripts.

Ares said seriously: "Teacher An Ran, you are right, I will consider this matter carefully, and we can have in-depth cooperation by then."

An Ran nodded, "No problem."

Over there, Hordak sneered, "If you cooperate with me, you will be finished An Ran. Why are you still giving me advice?"

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to continue perfunctory.

"Everyone, please continue chatting. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step!"

After saying that, he ignored other people and strode out of the conference room.
Chapter completed!
