Chapter 368 The Lost Pearl 1/2

Many artists are eager to do this.

It can be said that the current mainland artists are the first to become rich. Artist exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland are becoming more and more frequent. It is mainly mainland artists who come to Hong Kong to develop.

In the implementation stage, no one from Xiangjiang came to the mainland to develop. The main reason was that there was no money to make. This is not like after the millennium, artists in Xiangjiang had no money to make, so they had to go north.

During these frequent exchanges, the mainland entertainment industry has also begun to change. The main reason is that private entertainment companies have begun to take the lead. During this period, it is extremely difficult for mainland entertainment companies to make money.

But I couldn’t resist DreamWorks, knowing that any good movie might be introduced to Southeast Asia for screening. There were still many outstanding mainland filmmakers during this period.

Xie Jin, Zhao Huanzhang, Wu Tianming, Chen Kaige, etc.

Director Xie Jin is a very good director. The films he shoots are both artistic and commercial. His representative works include Women's Basketball Team No. 5, Garland Under the Mountain, Furong Town, The Last Noble, The Old Man and the Dog, etc.

One of Zhao Hong's favorite movies is "Garland Under the Mountain", which tells a touching story of the People's Liberation Army's counterattack between China and Russia in Vietnam.

This is artistic processing based on real people and real events. It can be said that the response to this film has been great after it was screened. This film does not deliberately depict war scenes, it starts from small characters.

The main content is that Zhao Mengsheng, an officer of the Propaganda Department of a certain PLA department and a son of a high-ranking cadre, wanted to be transferred back to the city. During this period, he experienced repeated ideological shocks and finally transformed into a resolute new soldier.

In the baptism of blood and fire, Zhao Mengsheng withstood the test and became strong from cowardice. This movie tells how an ordinary person gradually changes himself in the face of the friendship between his comrades.

This movie can be said to have had a great influence. Even Xiaogangpao's "Tangshan Earthquake" also drew lessons from this movie. This movie will never be out of date no matter how old it is.

I'm honored that Zhao Hong also invested in this movie. Compared with the original version, it added a lot of war scenes. This movie caused a sensation when it was released in Hong Kong.

It is difficult to shoot such a war movie in Hong Kong. Director Xie controlled the war scenes very well. Zhao Hong still remembers that when he had to shoot some dangerous scenes, many technologies were very immature. For example, rail cars were not available in the mainland.

, after Zhao Hong learned about this, he personally sent someone from Xiangjiang to deliver it to him.

There are also a lot of shooting equipment sent from Xiangjiang. Zhao Hong sometimes wonders whether to set up an equipment production company by herself. You must know that every year DreamWorks buys equipment worth 10 to 20 million US dollars from all over the world. These equipments

It's really precious.

Thanks to the support of DreamWorks, this movie was shot in a very grand style. According to the final calculation, it cost 10 million Yuanmei coins. This is by far the most expensive movie among mainland movies.

It would be unrealistic for mainland film studios to bear all of this money. Here, DreamWorks has borne eight million RMB, and it only gets other copyrights except those from the mainland.

Zhao Hong was very indifferent to this. This movie can be said to be the best domestic war movie. Even the "Assembly", which was later criticized, is far behind.

It can be said that in commercial films, Xie Jin can teach all directors in the Mainland how to behave. It can be said that no one can take away or cover up his glory in film history with this one film.

After the turn of the millennium, his reputation was not too great. The people who knew him more were from Xie Jin Academy, where Fan Xiaopang graduated.

But few people know that the prototype of Hengdian Film and Television City was originally under his influence. When he was filming "Furong Town", he built several relatively small Republican Streets in Hengdian. After the movie became popular, this place

Only then did many TV series and movie crews come here to shoot scenes.

This movie was released in 1984 and achieved good results of 19 million in Hong Kong and a total box office of 40 million Hong Kong dollars in Southeast Asia. DreamWorks almost made back all the money it invested in it, and even made a small profit.

.

This movie also sold well in Europe and the United States. In short, this movie alone earned DreamWorks about 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which also gave DreamWorks more confidence in investing in movies in the Mainland in the future.

This time when Zhao Hong was filming in the Mainland, he also came to the crew to meet Zhao Hong. Through communication, Zhao Hong knew that he was really talented, experienced and not rigid, and he did not think of him as a wild beast when it came to commercial films.

He feels that if movies want to develop, they still need to walk on two legs. While not forgetting to shoot literary and artistic films, commercial films should not be left behind. He has made countless personal achievements in literary and artistic films, including the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Busan International Film Festival Honorary Award.

etc.

But he has a big ambition and wants the country's cultural undertakings to develop. He still believes that the only way out is to develop commercial films in the future. He is a person who highly recommends taking the Hollywood path.

It's just that he is a man of few words, and his films have been criticized by many people in the mainland. Many filmmakers believe that films are sacred, and those who follow the popular line are looked down upon and even criticized mercilessly.

Zhao Hong found this very funny. He felt that movies are meant to entertain the audience. A movie that no audience likes is a failure. It has even forgotten the original intention of the movie.

In fact, movies record the people and events of each generation, so at this stage it is a popular movie and feels like a commercial film, but if you look at it more carefully after ten or twenty years, it will feel full of content.

As long as a movie can entertain people of your own generation, it is considered a success. Merit is not a matter for people of your own generation to judge. Only as time goes by will there be a fairer judgment.

There is also a very interesting person among them, that is Wu Tianming, the director of Xiying Film Studio. He is Lao Mouzi’s boss. He likes to support new people. Under his excavation, a large number of outstanding filmmakers have emerged.

He discovered almost half of the fifth generation directors, so his status in the future circle will be very important!

Zhao Hong still remembers that one of his movies after the millennium passed away after the filming was completed. At that time, business was already king. If there was no selling point, it would be impossible for me to get the theater companies to increase the film schedule. The result would be

He kneeled down in shock, which had a great influence in the entertainment industry.

Wu Tianming himself is also a very good director. His representative works include Life, Laojing, Changing Face, CEO, Birds of a Feather, etc.

Many of them are very classic movies and have won many awards. He himself is also an actor. For example, in a very classic movie "Flying Over the Nursing Home", he played the enthusiastic and cheerful Lao Zhou. As for the others, they also temporarily

Yu Liang.

Now they are more or less cooperating with DreamWorks. Their movies are also released in Southeast Asia through DreamWorks channels, and the box office is very good.

In front of these people, Chen Kaige and Lao Mouzi are both rising stars.

Thanks to the financial support of DreamWorks, they are all producing at a high rate, and many good movies that they wanted to make but had no money to make have appeared in their hands. It can be said that their glory can be felt by many filmmakers in Hong Kong.

These people are all capable of writing and directing, so their control over the plot is much better than that of the fifth-generation directors. Most of them are people who have experienced hardships and hardships. They have rich life experiences, including experiences from the old era and the new era.

trend.

They have suffered, been tired, been beaten, and criticized. It can be said that they are precious assets to the entertainment industry. It is the luck of the entire Chinese entertainment industry that they can make more movies.
