Chapter 120 Do Something (1/3)
Film directors are quite militant...
It doesn’t mean that you act friendly, you just mean that you are a very friendly person.
Most directors love to show off...
Well, actually it has its own meaning.
But everyone can understand the meaning...
In short, how can a person who loves to show off allow others to show off more than he does?
He said, 'The market is big enough to accommodate two movies of good quality', but in my heart I wished that the other party would pounce on me!
I praise you as a master and a role model for learning, but what I think in my heart may be, 'Who can imitate you? Just stay away from me!'
Of course, this is a darker thought...
But it is also more realistic.
Gangzi should be very confident in "Pan Jinlian". Maybe he feels that such a work has enough depth and content.
Because "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" hides criticism of the system and officialdom...
People born in Gangzi's era always have some compassionate qualities. In art, romance is not their ideal, but criticizing the ills of the times is.
Although what he did had nothing to do with criticizing current ills...
In fact, this is a problem with our academic education.
Movies are imported products. They are essentially a theoretical system established by studying Western movies. It is normal for them to be acclimated to the domestic social environment!
This has led some directors to believe that they should learn from the style preferences of Western films, but this does not meet the taste of domestic audiences.
On the other hand, in terms of subject matter, apart from political tasks, they disdain to shoot stories that praise and praise.
I feel ashamed!
The fundamental reason is still the failure to establish a film aesthetics system and education system that suits the national conditions.
In fact, being profound is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is, you have to be really profound.
It was also very difficult for them, so they could only take some so-called impressions that were ruined on the street.
If you have the ability, you can film "Face to Face, Back to Back", "Black Cannon Incident"...
I don’t have the ability...
Afraid of being banned. If you are worried about this, why do you still shoot?
Dancing in shackles and walking on the tip of a knife gives people the feeling that I am a hero and a pioneer?
Well, at least the tank feels this way.
A master must be able to do what others cannot!
Recently, Tank has clearly felt that the promotion of "Burning" is weighing on him.
And... surprisingly, "Burning" was also nominated for the Golden Horse Award...
"Burning" was not only nominated for Best Director and Best Film at the Golden Horse Awards, but all three actors were also nominated for Best New Actor and Best Actor...
What surprised Gangzi was... Changlin Film and Television actually reconciled with the Golden Horse Awards?
The previous "Big Buddha" and "Hunting" did not sign up for the Golden Horse...
It’s ridiculous, there is no reconciliation at all, it’s just because this year is Hou Xiaoxian’s last rotating chairmanship, and Amou went to help support the situation.
That's all.
Hou Xiaoxian and A Mou have a very good relationship.
"Raise the Red Lantern" was financed by Hou Xiaoxian, and the investor was Qiu Fusheng, who reported that, so Hou Xiaoxian hired a producer...
By the way, Qiu Fusheng is a well-known investor in Baodao. In January 1990, Qiu Fusheng initiated the establishment of the "China Cross-Strait Film and Art Association" and served as the first chairman. This was the first cross-strait exchange established by the Taiwanese film industry.
The group has also held two Cross-Strait Film Exhibitions.
Qiu Fusheng has contributed to two Ah Mou films, namely "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Alive"...
He gave up movies because of political connections...
Then "Burning" is shortlisted, what should we do with "Pan Jinlian"?
The box office trend of "Burning" is very stable, and the target should be in the early 600 million...
Gangzi can't sit still!
But it’s hard for him to point the finger at Ah Mou...
Then blame the self-media?
No, it’s too low;
Scolding film critics?
No, film critics collectively expressed that they are looking forward to "Pan Jinlian"...
What about criticizing censorship?
I gave them all the dragon marks and didn’t cut them with a knife...
This... we can't make trouble unreasonably!
After watching the film schedule, OK, I have decided that it is you - Wang Jianlin, please stand up for me.
As a result, a "Letter from Pan Jinlian to Mr. Wang Jianlin" came out...
After admiring it for a moment, I thought it was pretty good.
Of course, you have to choose the right time, preferably on the eve of the movie's release, and publish it now. Even if it is effective, the effect will not be maximized.
…
"Tang Detective 2" was completed in early November.
It was the time when "Burning" was killing everyone in the market.
Therefore, Shen Changlin's return to China did not cause much sensation...
He held a meeting with the post-production team to explain the post-production direction of "Tang Detective 2", and then he prepared to take a good rest for a few days...
While Shi Shi is not at home, relieve your physical and mental fatigue!
Shi Shi went to play a supporting role in the drama "Suddenly This Summer" produced by the studio.
There is no way, if she does not participate in such a low-cost campus romance drama, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price!
Shen Changlin had only rested for three days when Zhao Shan came to visit.
Seeing Zhao Shan, Shen Changlin had rejection written all over his face: "Sister, I'm on vacation!"
""Ghost" is about to be broadcast, and the platform wants you to cooperate in doing some promotion."
Shen Changlin subconsciously refused: "I am the director..." Then he was a little surprised: "Huh? "Ghost" is about to be broadcast."
"iQiyi's "Shushan Chronicles 2" is coming with great force...Tengxun must also have a strategy to deal with it!"
"War of Shushan" is a project of Straw Bear Pictures, produced by Longliqi as the starring role...
It's starring William Chan and Zhao Liying.
The first season was aired last year, with a high click-through rate, and it created a new pattern of online backstage - "War of Shushan" was first aired on the iQiyi member paid channel, and then on AH TV, which was broadcast on the TV station From time to time, iQiyi will open free follow-up broadcasts. The TV station will broadcast several episodes a day, and the website follow-up broadcasts will be the same as those of ordinary TV series.
In the past, TV series would first be broadcast on TV stations for primary sales, and then be sold twice on video websites. Therefore, video websites have always been in a state of following the broadcast of popular TV series.
"War of Shushan" breaks this pattern!
The key benefits are quite good.
Of course iQiyi attaches great importance to "War of Shushan 2"...
"...Don't worry, "Shu Mountain" is not that easy to shoot!"
Xu Ke played ‘Shu Mountain’ twice and both ended in failure…
"Tengxun Video attaches great importance to "Ghost"... and gave us a budget of 30 million for marketing..."
"It's very good. It's not easy for Chen Yao to speculate on actors a lot..."
Zhao Shan nodded: "Chen Yao, I will definitely promote her...but don't forget, the biggest selling point of our show is you!"
Well, that's the truth. If you change the director, it's impossible for Tengxun to spend money!
Shen Changlin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let's do this. You can arrange a few interviews for me, not too many, just two or three. I will go to the United States to film a movie next week..."
"So fast?"
"It's already very slow. Warner has urged me several times!"
After finishing business, we chatted about personal matters for a while.
Zhao Shan said: "I met with Yu Dong some time ago. He talked to me about production and said that there was a director of an art film who asked for 60 million..."
Shen Changlin couldn't help but cursed: "This is too much! I don't know, 60 million, 200 million at the box office to make back the money! The cost of "The Burst Drummer" we shot was 4.6 million U.S. dollars, which converted into RMB 22 million. The cost of "Dallas Buyers Club" is US$7 million... Even in the United States, the cost of 60 million yuan for a pure independent drama film is considered a considerable investment! What are these people thinking?"
Zhao Shan nodded: "Not only that, small celebrities who are slightly famous have to travel in first class and five-star hotels... In fact, the film industry as a whole is a loss-making industry, but practitioners will always appear in mansions and bars, They are all attending a party and drinking red wine!”
Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "...I didn't do that, and our company doesn't put an end to this custom!"
Chapter completed!
