Chapter 210 The Motherland Stands Behind Me
"Mr. Keita Miyamoto!
I admit that the name Sony Pictures is probably very well-known in the film and television industry.”
Wang Hao looked at Keita Miyamoto, his tone unhurried and full of calm and majestic meaning.
“But this is in China, I, Wang Hao, am Chinese, and Galaxy Pictures is also a Chinese film and television company.
Behind us, we all rely on a powerful motherland that has independence and sovereignty and is rising! "
Wang Hao deliberately emphasized the words "independent sovereignty", which successfully made Keita Miyamoto's cheeks twitch wildly.
The famous philosopher Lao Luo once said, "If you are being kept by someone, don't talk about independent personality."
Japan is that country without independent personality. Their every move depends on their father's mood.
In this situation, Sony Pictures, which is backed by Japan, really does not have enough confidence to do anything to Wang Hao and his company.
It is precisely because of this that Keita Miyamoto, whose pain point was touched, was particularly angry.
"Wang Sang is so arrogant!
But what we are talking about today is just business behavior. What does it have to do with the country?
Can you, Galaxy Films, mobilize the whole country to compete with the big Hollywood companies?"
Miyamoto Keita said coldly, and Wang Hao chuckled.
"Why mobilize the whole country to deal with the big Hollywood companies?"
He looked at Keita Miyamoto and pointed at Han Sanping's figure in the distance which had not yet disappeared.
"Did you see that guy? Han Sanping, the chairman of Huaxia Film and Television Group.
I'm not saying this, but this one person alone can control all the Hollywood film companies. Which ones can enter the Chinese market and which ones cannot is all decided by his words.
Each country has its own national conditions. China's control system for imported movies is the biggest moat of our Galaxy Films. We may not be able to get out, and you don't even think about breaking in and shaking our foundation!"
Keita Miyamoto looked at Han Sanping's back and his expression became a little serious.
Indeed, as Wang Hao said, now and in the future, the Chinese mainland film market will be one of the only two film markets in the world that is not influenced by Hollywood.
Even if Hollywood movies conquer the world, they cannot crack this tough nut.
This kind of national-level protection and control may have curbed the development of the domestic film industry, but it has also provided a good development environment for Chinese film companies.
This alone is something that filmmakers in countries like Japan and South Korea, where the domestic markets have already been divided up, are extremely envious of.
"But……"
"I know what Mr. Miyamoto wants to say. It's nothing more than that the Chinese film market is too small to support such a large film universe plan as mine."
Wang Hao did not wait for Miyamoto Keita to refute, and said:
"But Mr. Miyamoto, you have to know that China's economic development is now on an upward trend, and the speed of this economic growth is very fast, just like Japan in the 1980s.
Coupled with China's large population, there will inevitably be huge demand for film, television and entertainment in the future.
I even dare to boldly assert that within ten years, the Chinese film market will become the second largest film market in the world.
By that time, perhaps the major Hollywood film and television companies, whose development has stagnated, will rush to enter China."
Miyamoto Keita did not respond to Wang Hao's words for a long time, because the "1980s" in the other party's words brought back his memories. As a Japanese in his forties, Miyamoto Keita personally experienced the period of prosperity and bubble burst in Japan.
And the culprit of all this seems to be...
"I used to think that Wang Sang was just a genius in the field of film, but I didn't expect that your strategic vision is so sharp."
Keita Miyamoto sighed lightly, and his originally strong image became like a deflated balloon, no longer threatening at all.
"It's just that Wang Sang, you think too simply about those Hollywood film and television companies. As the great man from China said, 'You can despise the enemy tactically, but you must take the enemy seriously strategically.'
We at Sony Pictures have been in Hollywood for so long that we are well aware of how powerful the potential forces behind those Hollywood film and television groups are.
You want to rely entirely on China to fight against them. To be frank, that is neither easy nor realistic.
Besides, every emperor has his own ministers, and it is impossible for President Han to support you in your position."
Wang Hao saw that the other party's tone slowed down and his attitude became much softer. He knew that he had understood the situation, so he continued with a smile:
“But the big companies in Hollywood are not monolithic.
If they were really so united, why would you have to tell me so much today?"
Miyamoto Keita was immediately stumped by the question.
Yes, he threatened Wang Hao today. Was he really trying to suppress Chinese film and television companies for the benefit of Hollywood?
Isn't it to bring Wang Hao and his company under Sony Pictures before the concept of "movie universe" spreads out?
Do you really think the six major Hollywood companies will join forces to target one person, unless that person is Spielberg, unless that company is called DreamWorks.
Of course, Wang Hao is not that important now, so what Miyamoto Keita said was more of a threat.
Wang Hao is aware of this, and so is Miyamoto Keita.
But to be on the safe side, Wang Hao decided to add a little more chip.
“In fact, Mr. Miyamoto said a lot. We are a small company, and [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] has just started.
Compared to us, if Warner's DC film series and the Harry Potter film series were to expand into a movie universe, that would be the real threat to Sony Pictures, wouldn't it?
Oh, by the way, there is one more. I remember that at the San Diego International Comic-Con in March not long ago, Marvel, one of the two major comic book companies in North America, and its Marvel Studios also announced a plan to adapt the "Iron Man" comic book into a movie.
From what I have learned, the other party also seems to be interested in bringing the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the forefront.
I remember Sony Pictures' Spider-Man, which seems to be an important work of Marvel Studios as well."
Communication between smart people often does not require more words.
Wang Hao only said a few words, and Miyamoto Keita understood the hidden meaning in his words.
Compared to Galaxy Pictures, a small company that can only live in a corner of China and develop slowly, several other large film and television companies in Hollywood are the real competitors of Sony Pictures today.
In the face of external enemies, it is not a wise move to simply suppress Xinghe Film and Television and push it to the opposite side.
He just said some harsh words, but now he immediately gave in. How can Keita Miyamoto, a senior executive of the company, save his face with this kind of behavior?
Fortunately, Howard Bruno, who had been standing next to him, seemed to have noticed his friend's predicament and took the initiative to help him out.
