Is China Sending Hollywood a Message?
Do you think the success of a film should be measured by how many markets it reaches and how much money it generates?
The average filmmaker needs to remember that they do not have to appeal to everyone to succeed.
In this episode, we talk about…
- MoviePass returning with tiered platform prices
- How you can watch ads to earn movie credits by allowing the app to track your eye movement
- China’s request for movies that are catered to their culture, customs, and audience
- The two choices filmmakers have in response to territory-specific movie demands
- Keep the film and plot as is and risk not being distributed in certain territories and markets
- Offer different versions of the film that will be acceptable to all territories
- Measuring the success of a film by considering many factors, not only the box office stats
- Why filmmakers should define success by their own individual values
- How filmmakers like Michael Mann are influenced by others, like Jean-Pierre Melville, to continue evolving film into wonderful works of art
