Historically, Han Sanping served as the director of Beijing Film Studio in 94.

In 99, he served as the vice chairman and vice president of China Film Group, and in 2007, he officially became the chairman of China Film Group.

Why did he strongly support Chen Kaige? Because CITIC and China Film jointly set up the Hero Film Investment Company of the Century, Chen Kaige is the art director and has business in it.

Like "With You" and "Wuji", this company is involved in investment.

Besides, Han Sanping has a good judgment in art films, and he also has a certain level of grasp of commercial films. When I was in Emei Factory, I asked "Emei Flying Thieves" to temporarily add 7 action scenes and sell many copies.

Looking at his resume, he promoted directors such as Huo Jianqi, Senior Lu, Lu Xiaochuan, etc., supported Feng Pants's "Party A and Party B", released "Crazy Stone", and invested Ning Hao to continue filming "Crazy Racing......

It's all a credit.

On the other hand, the so-called blockbusters, "Wuji", "Red Cliff Up and Down", "Mei Lanfang", "Nanjing", "October Siege", the founding trilogy and so on, including the new "Red Mansion" and "Three Kingdoms", he has invested.

Objectively speaking, in that environment at that time, they were crossing the river by feeling the stones.

When Hong Kong filmmakers go north, how can they be integrated, and how can they make blockbusters suitable for the mainland market? It will take time.

So Han Sanping made a "mistake of the limitations of the era", attached great importance to Hong Kong directors, and launched a series of formalist blockbusters.

Later, it was a little directionless, such as the founding trilogy.

Is the standard really high? Not necessarily, there is nothing left except for a few stars.

Especially in the last part, Liu Weiqiang is the director, looking for a bunch of traffic to act, General Ye is like an old boy......

not only wants to shoot the main theme, but also wants to show goodwill to the so-called hundreds of millions of fans in traffic, which is the same as inviting small fresh meat for the Spring Festival Gala.

So now, in 2003, Wu Mengchen did not resign, and the five-year plan was in full swing, which invisibly made the strong Han Sanping disappear.

He wants to earn this sense of existence, and "Wuji" is the breakthrough.

Wu Mengchen is very discerning, and he is worried in the small pavilion: "The integration of the two places is a good thing, but I am worried that some people in the mainland are too superstitious about Hong Kong movies, eager for quick success, and waste time but have no effect."

Especially with your "No Thieves in the World" and other films in front, everyone looks at it, this is the mode, and then they rush to it, completely ignoring the content. ”

"You should think of it this way, trial and error are inevitable. The market needs to be stimulated, and more films can be stimulated.

Every country is a bunch of good movies and bad movies, I can't put an end to bad movies, I am only responsible for making good movies......"

Xu Fei's attitude was clear: "But don't worry, I won't let some people waste resources in vain, capital will play the corner, policy discrimination, and make a few special pieces of garbage out!"

It's you, Wu Baige!

The two chatted for a long time, and Xu Fei took Lao Wu to visit the manor, orchard, as well as his own pigs, cows, sheep and geese.

"Oh, it turns out that the eggs and meat you gave during the New Year and the holidays are all from here. ”

"Not bad, right? Wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the goose is fat, and I'll bring one to you then." ”

"I prefer to eat duck. ”

"There's a duck too, I'll get one for you!"

"That's good, my wife's sauce duck is a must, salty and sweet, soft but not rotten......"

"Wait, how can a duck be sweet?"

"Why can't ducks be sweet?"

"Heresy!"

"Quack!"

Xu Yuling chased the goose by.

In the evening, Mr. Xu left for dinner, and after the meal, he went to the study to continue chatting.

"If the fourth "Kung Fu" can end soon, it will be no problem to be released at the end of the year. The main fifth part ......"

"Yes, you've been hiding your mystery, what do you want to shoot?" asked Lao Wu.

"I'll talk about what I'll shoot later. The first four films are basically released once a year, and the fifth part is very difficult, and it will definitely not be completed next year, and I want to delay the release until the next year. ”

“......”

Lao Wu was surprised, speechless, and waited for him to explain.

"But don't worry about the films of the year after tomorrow, I will first put "Mobile Phone" at the end of the year, and stir up the New Year file with "Kung Fu". "Hurricane Rescue", "Super Body" and "Ambush on All Sides" can be released in two years.

What's more, I have a new project!

If anyone asks, the reason is also sufficient, the impact of the epidemic will be understood. ”

Xu Fei took out a script from the drawer and said with a smile: "I went to Hollywood last year to investigate special effects, and I have already contacted that side and have been preparing for it.

In the past, I always said that the film industry, after several years of training, the film and television city has been able to achieve basic assembly line production.

What is the foundation?

It's just that it has nothing to do with high-level special effects, and the type is narrow, ancient costumes, cities, and the Republic of China can do it, but what about the rest?"

He clicked on the script: "What will the future do?"

"Future ......"

Wu Mengchen bowed his head, and there were four big words on the title page: "Earth Cannon"!

............

Night.

Lao Wu drove in the countryside, and the light of the two headlights turned with the ups and downs of the road, swaying in front.

Occasionally, there are two points of light in front of him, and he slowly passes by.

In the co-pilot's seat, there was a script, a copy of Science Fiction World magazine, and a manuscript. The magazine and the photocopy are two short stories, "Bring Her Eyes" and "Earth Cannon".

"Didi!"

Lao Wu looked at the gloomy road ahead, and was still thinking about the conversation just now, in that incense-filled study.

"This is science fiction?"

"Yes. ”

"Sci-fi...... Since you take it out, I won't ask for some nonsense, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

"What was our goal in the original five-year plan?"

"Stimulate the market, open up the road of domestic blockbusters, and build a film industry. ”

"The first two are barely done, and the latter one is far behind. In other words, the foreshadowing of the first four films is only for this last one.

"No Thieves in the World", "October Siege", "Hero" and "Kung Fu", are they successful? Very successful, the template has been erected, the cooperation between the two places has been promoted, the audience's horizons have been broadened, and the box office has been rising.

They have their own meanings, but you can see them as the meaning of business, the meaning of the market, the meaning of co-productions, not the meaning of the film industry!

We are pioneers, pioneers must break through themselves, and those who make rules must break through themselves!

Otherwise, it will be like today's film industry, the film association, where the old directors who have achieved fame occupy the top, and their interests become their own factions, suppressing different and new things.

Otherwise, you will lie on the credit book of five blockbusters, watching the latecomers follow one after another, imitating one after another. It may not be until a decade or twenty later that a new milestone will be born.

You know what was the first type of film that I decided on when I proposed this five-year plan?"

"Future?"

"Ha! The journey of mankind is the sea of stars!"

Mr. Xu said a famous saying that is not very popular, and said with a smile: "The cost of this film is high, the box office is unpredictable, and the three main investments of Tianxia, Sunshine, and Cactus may also find funds from Japan and South Korea to expand the pan-Asian market."

But I still don't guarantee that it will probably be the first film to lose money since I started in the industry.

Old Wu, do you want to follow?"

"Boom!"

The tires ran over the country road, Wu Mengchen drove the car, and he seemed to smile at that time.

"Lao Han is over there to support that out-of-tune script, of course we have to do something serious together!"
