Chapter 604: Watching the Film
"Yo, our 'Citizen Mr. He' is here!"
In the small screening hall of Beijing Film Studio, Yu Dong joked with a smile as soon as he saw He Xin.
After yesterday's evening news aired, many people recognized He Xin. There are also good deeds who uploaded screenshots to the Internet, which caused a lot of discussion, and some conspiracy theorists questioned that this was arranged, and the Huayi brothers bought off Yang Ma for the promotion of "Assembly Number", but the vast majority of netizens still happily ridiculed Yang Ma for being blind.
There is no hot search this year, otherwise this is the rhythm of the hot search headlines. Especially the big close-up of He Xin's red eyes in the news, which also attracted a lot of attention, calling for "Assembly Number" from the side, maybe it can also help attract a small movie-watching craze.
For this reason, Feng Xiaogang, who had just arrived in Chongqing today to publicize the project, was interviewed at the airport and specially expressed his solemn thanks to "Mr. He, a citizen" who gave a high evaluation of "Assembly Number" in the news last night.
Yu Dong inevitably said sourly at this time: "You guy, why don't you go to watch "Vote for Fame"?"
Speaking of which, Yu Dong was quite depressed during this time. When "Casting Names" was first released, it was full of momentum, and he even shouted the slogan of "box office 400 million". As a result, as soon as "Assembly Number" was released, "Casting Names" suddenly dived rapidly, and the box office was stuck at the threshold of 200 million and could not be broken through.
He Xin spread his hands and said innocently: "This is purely a coincidence, but even if I went to watch "Casting Names" last night, it would be impossible for a reporter to interview it." ”
“......”
This is where Yu Dong is even more depressed, it is also a blockbuster, but "Assembly" also took advantage of the main theme and won official support. Moreover, it is said that when the General Administration holds a New Year's Day reception in two days, it will also be specially screened "The Assembly."
"Haha, 'Mr. Citizen He', hello!"
At this time, Han Sanye walked in with a red face, accompanied by Ning Hao and Zhang Guoli.
"Third Master!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
He Xin hurriedly greeted him and shook hands, and at the same time looked at Ning Hao, who was by Han Sanye's side like a good baby, and said in surprise: "Yo, Haozi, are you losing weight during this time?"
It's the first time he's seen this guy when he comes back this time, he hasn't seen him for more than two months, and the whole person has obviously lost weight.
"Isn't this in a hurry to do the late stage, this time the third master, Mr. Zhang, and Brother Dong have all given me such great support, I don't dare to live up to the expectations of the big guys for me. This guy showed his trademark honest smile, and the sycophants came out of his mouth.
Han Sanye was really happy and said, "So today we are here to test the results of your work, hoping to bring us a surprise!"
As a close comrade-in-arms of the third master before the third master made his career, Zhang Guoli, who was a close comrade-in-arms of the third master during the Emei Film Studio, has always been famous for "things will come" in the circle, and then said: "I don't think there is any problem with Director Ning's level, and today will definitely bring us surprises! Xiaohe, don't you say?"
"Of course, I've always had confidence in Haozi. He Xindao.
"I'm a little embarrassed by what you guys said, as long as you don't scold me after watching it for a while. Ning Hao scratched his scalp and said modestly.
But having said that, I can still hear that he is full of confidence in the film "Racing".
The staff is still preparing for the screening, and took this opportunity to congratulate Xindao: "Third Master, Teacher Zhang, Brother Dong, everyone is here today, there is something I want to ask you for." ”
"Oh, Xiaohe, you say. ”
"It's our young director plan that didn't just select six scripts this time, I took a look, and the book of the small-budget comedy "Leave Now" directed by Liu Jiang is very good. I talked to him yesterday.,I feel like he's also quite thoughtful.,I think it's a bit of a pity if this book is a self-made TV movie.。 He Xindao.
"You mean it's going to be released?" the third master muttered.
"Yes, the production cost of this film is only three million at most, plus the follow-up publicity, copy and printing, I estimate that the problem will be solved by about five million. If the third master agrees, and everyone has no opinion, I think our company can operate alone......"
Before he finished his words, he heard Yu Dong preemptively say, "Don't mind, the two of us can cooperate." Anyway, the investment is not big, so let's just pay half of it. ”
Obviously, Yu Dong has fully learned the lesson of "The Story of Two Donkeys", as long as He Xin likes the book, he will intervene.
But others are not stupid, Zhang Guoli hurriedly said: "What do you two mean, dare you want to leave me and Lao Han alone?"
"Teacher Zhang, don't get me wrong. I just think this book is very good from a personal point of view.。 But if it is really made into a theatrical movie, after all, the investment is relatively large, and there is still a lot of risk. It's no problem for our young directors to continue to do it, after all, the risk is controllable. I just want to pull out this book.,Do it alone.,Profit and loss at your own risk.,That's what it means.。 He Xinxian explained.
"That's right, we're doing ours. It will not affect the normal implementation of the Young Directors Program. Yu Dong also followed.
"But why do I think you two want to eat alone?" Zhang Guoli joked with a smile.
Don't look at Zhang Guoli's usual smiles when he sees people, he looks like a good old man. But don't forget that he is also one of the bigwigs in the circle, with enough qualifications and amazing connections. The size of the National Changsheng Film and Television Company is much larger than that of Xinhao Media.
He is also a chicken thief, Xinhao Media has never missed a project in recent years, He Xin, as one of the bosses, has a recognized vision. Moreover, a low-cost project like this is not very risky, and Zhang Guoli also wants to get involved.
"Mr. Zhang, look at what you said, how can the film project be real and sure? Our Bona and Xinhao Media are originally a strategic cooperative relationship, and the risk is shared, where can there be such a thing as eating alone. ”
Yu Dong simply trusts He Xin and has confidence in him. At the same time, the development potential of Xinhao Media is seen by discerning people, a ghost director, a three-gold actor, that is all fragrant, and he doesn't want others to intervene again.
The third master asked coldly: "Xiaohe, do you want to play in person?"
He has read the book "Departure Now", and he personally circled the shortlist. So he was not surprised that He Xin was optimistic about this book, and he was even a little complacent.
He Xin shook his head and said, "No, I'm not suitable for acting." The main focus of this drama is on the male number one, and Director Liu Jiang said that he was going to invite Mr. Fan Wei to play this role, and I feel very good. As for the female number one, I want Tong Yali to play. ”
The third master nodded approvingly and said, "This idea of yours is good. ”
The third master is not a layman, he has been a director, and his eyes are very sharp. Although Fan Wei is a sketch actor, he has proven his acting skills in the two well-received literary films "Aromatic Journey" and "Please, Praise Me". And his appearance characteristics and performance style themselves are suitable for playing the role of such a funny honest man image.
As for Tong Yali, since "The Tale of Two Donkeys", she has been a rising star, and her audience popularity is not bad.
The script is good, the male and female protagonists are cast properly, and generally speaking, the movie is already halfway there. The other half depends on the director's level.
The Young Director Program was originally to discover potential new directors, and Liu Jiang has directed many TV series, so he is not a rookie director in the strict sense.
The third master groaned a little and said: "Otherwise, I think it's good to be like this, and I will include the book "Immediate Departure" in the first work of our young director plan." According to Xiaohe's intentions, it will simply be made into a theatrical movie, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's a problem!" Zhang Guoli immediately agreed.
Although Yu Dong said that he was a little regretful, he still nodded and said, "Yes." ”
At the same time as He Xin was surprised, he hurriedly said: "I declare in advance, if I lose money in the future, don't blame me!"
Han Sanye waved his hand domineeringly and said, "It's okay, our plan is originally experimental in nature, and we pay attention to the survival of the fittest." Even if it fails a few times, as long as you can find a ghost director like Haozi, it's worth it. ”
"Yo, Third Master, I'm too scared when you say that!" Ning Hao said jokingly on the side.
"Haha, if it's a mule or a horse, you should walk it out and see if you kid is really scared!"
The third master patted Ning Hao's shoulder and laughed, he sincerely admired Ning Hao.
As he spoke, he turned around and yelled behind him, "Okay, okay?"
"Okay, I'll put it right away. ”
After talking about business, they sat down, the lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and the screen lit up......
Because "Racing" did not have He Xin's intervention, it was basically exactly the same as the original version in his memory, and the actors did not change without any changes.
If there are He Xin and Deng Chao in "Stone", they can barely be called handsome guys, and there are big beauties like Cheng Hao. Then "Racing" from the beginning to the end, including men and women, almost all the characters are ugly and crazy.
And if in "Stone", Ning Hao imitated Guy Ritchie's style and was a little shy, then in "Racing", he copied Guy Ritchie's copy.
Of course, it is copied in the style of the movie, and the story still has Ning Hao's own personality, pure made in China. It's always more stylish than the so-called remakes of later generations.
As the second installment of the crazy series, it still continues the style of the multi-line narrative of "Stone". An unlucky driver, a gang of unclear Oolongs, a duo of rural killers, a couple of profiteers, two stupid cops, and a seemingly professional Thai drug dealer.
The riders are unwilling, and they have bad luck; Taiwan's oolong gang is very principled, but they find that they can't eat it at all in the mainland; the killer duo adheres to the concept of doing one line of work and loving one line, and finally understands that there are some things that not everyone can do; the profiteer couple has calculated to the end, but in the end there is no good result; the two policemen are depressed, and finally the drugs come to the door, and their opportunity comes; the Thai guy is the only character who is not very grassroots, but his death is exaggerated......
