Chapter 31 Asan's Film Industry
New Delhi, the capital of India.
Located on the west bank of the Yamuna River, a tributary of the Ganges River, it is an inland city.
In the eyes of San Ge, Mumbai and New Delhi are an international super metropolis, and Bangalore is the world's high-tech center second only to Silicon Valley in the United States!
Is India lagging behind? That's relative to the United States!
In the view of the third brother, India is currently the second largest quasi-superpower after the United States. Although some countries are currently "slightly" ahead of the third brother, the third brother is confident that "as long as there is mín zhǔ, he will definitely surpass" and "the world's largest mín zhǔ". He upholds the spirit of the tortoise and hare racing, and firmly believes that he will eventually surpass like that turtle!
There are often "Mumbai pk New York" on the oil pipe, "10 reasons why Mumbai is similar to New York", "New Delhi pk Tokyo", "New Delhi vs London"...
They look down on China a little...
It doesn’t matter, not only Zhang Junsheng, but also Yuehua, have no idea of developing in India!
India is probably the most bizarre country in the world, and Bollywood movies account for 95% of the Indian film market all year round...
Data as an example, what is the box office of "Avatar", which is popular all over the world?
2.42 million US dollars, of course, the reason for this is that India's ticket is cheap, which is converted into a movie ticket worth about five yuan per RMB...
Failed to be among the top ten box office...
Of course, in recent years, with the rise of the Indian market, Hollywood has increased its investment in the Indian market, with significant results: Last year, "Avengers 3", which was popular all over the world, finally ranked among the top five in India's box office, with a box office record of nearly 30 million US dollars...
The reason why Yuehua has never had the idea of entering India is that it is the main reason that there is no support for this regard in terms of national policies!
There is no preferential treatment for co-production in India.
He can produce more than 3,000 movies a year...
When Hollywood comes, you have to stand aside, let alone Chinese movies!
"The God of Medicine" lives in and arrives at Indira Gandhi International Airport, get off the plane, take the bus, and go to the hotel you are staying at.
Seeing the scenery along the way, Zhang Junsheng asked, "...What do you think?"
Wang Bo sighed: "…I thought the movie was real!"
“…what is true?”
Wang Bo shrugged: "Women are all wearing gauze scarves, they are all very beautiful..."
There weren't many women wearing gauze scarves, just wearing linen, and they were dirty...
"You're thinking too much! India is very poor..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Junsheng added: "And Indian sex workers do not need safety checks, which means they are likely AIDS carriers, so..." He turned his head and looked at several staff members: "You guys will listen to me, and never prostitute Chang in India!"
“…Even if Ajaye Dewugan is the guide, you are not allowed to go, don’t embarrass the Chinese!”
"Don't worry, we won't!"
The accompanying photographer sighed: "I still want to go to Kolkata to see you!"
Kolkata is very famous because it is a documentary "Jì nǚ" in Kolkata, the largest in Asia, hóng dēng qū!
There are nearly 14,000 people living in jì nǚ, some of whom were abducted from all over India, with many underage girls among them. According to locals, the youngest is less than 12 years old...
This is very tempting for art, and you may be able to discover the real human nature there...
Of course, it is possible to be killed...
"…Be honest with me, we will only have a week's itinerary. We'll get out of here immediately!"
"All right!"
...
Ajaye Dewugan, an outstanding Bollywood actor, usually his salary for filming is 20 million rupees, which is close to 20 million yuan…
However, when I was looking for him in "I'm Not a God of Medicine", he only charged 1 million...
After all, this is a directorial work by Zhang Junsheng, and he has a very good image in the play!
Ajaye Dewugan, the most famous work should be "The Legend of the Concealed by the Man of God"...
It was the movie where the unlucky child wanted to be slutty to his classmates, and then was discovered by his classmate's mother. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone and then be beaten to death with one stick...
It is understandable that the choice of the unlucky child is, after all, compared to classmates, her mother is indeed more quality...
Ahem...
The hotel we stayed at was the five-star Hilton Hotel, which contained a Hong Kong chef.
Both Chinese people, and as soon as they met, he began to complain about how bad Indians are!
"Indians like to take advantage of small gains and especially like to ask people for things. As long as they like them, they will ask you directly."
"India is different from China, and has not received education on etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame..."
Zhang Junsheng interrupted him: "I want to know how the film industry in India is like?"
"You wouldn't want to develop movies in India, do you?"
“…No?”
"…I tell you this, at the height of Hong Kong movies, Jackie Chan couldn't even enter the Indian market!"
Wang Bo was a little surprised: "So xenophobic?"
"…It can't be said to be xenophobic, they have too many races!"
The chef continued: "To say something you may not know, the housing prices here reached the level of Hong Kong seven or eight years ago, but the per capita income was only 1/10 of that of Hong Kong."
“…No, we are here to make movies… Can you introduce the film industry in India?”
"I don't know this..."
Zhang Junsheng shook his head speechlessly - after he had done this cup of Ganges, he would still be an Indian in the next life...
...
Many people will directly equate Bollywood with Indian movies. In fact, Bollywood is just a branch of Indian movies, and in terms of output, it is not even considered a main branch.
What we usually call Bollywood movies generally refer to broad Hindi movies with Mumbai as the production center. Since India is a multi-religious and multi-cultural country, the languages used in different regions across the country are also very different. Movies shot in Telugu and Tamil are called "Tollywood" and "Kollywood" movies.
These movies made in language departments in various parts of India constitute the entire Indian movie, but Bollywood is indeed one of the most Indian-style branches.
Hollywood is coming in full force, and Bollywood no longer has enough confidence and advantages like in the past.
When the six major Hollywood companies found that the "front attack" was not effective, they began a curved occupation strategy, and occupied the market by establishing subsidiaries in India and investing in Bollywood-style movies. Many of the films were directly remade by Hollywood companies themselves in India.
For example, "The Spy Change" is "The Spy Change" produced by Twentieth Century Fox itself, which was invested and remade by Twentieth Century Fox's Indian subsidiary.
While looking at the information, Zhang Junsheng called...
Yes, it is difficult to occupy the Indian market, but this is a market with unlimited potential!
The number of viewers exceeds 500 million, surpassing South Korea, becoming the fifth largest film market in the world...
I'm really unwilling to let it go!
