Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dongying People Want to Buy
Time flies, and by 5 p.m., today's filming tasks for "Hoe Rape" have all been completed. Xu Wangqiu announced the end of work, and then happily took the crew members to the Magic Shadow Factory for dinner. The Magic Shadow Factory invited guests Xiong Jing Qi and others, and saw that Xiong Jing Qi was very interested in the crew of "Hoe Rape", so he asked the crew of "Hoe Rape" to accompany him.
The filming funds of "Hoe Rape" are stretched, and in order to save costs, Xu Wangqiu can only take food and shelter, and the crew eats very poorly. Now that the Magic Shadow Factory has a treat and can have a good meal, the entire crew of "Hoe Rape" is naturally very happy.
In line with the principle of not being embarrassed in front of Dongying guests, Xu Wangqiu reminded everyone to pay attention to their image when eating. Everyone thinks it makes sense, and you should pay attention to your image. But when the food is served, especially after the meat is served, they still care about their image, just like a wolf who has been hungry for three days sees a lamb and screams and pounces on it.
Xu Wangqiu could only tell the stunned Xiong Jing Kai and others that "Hoe Rape" is a war film, and the crew went to the army to receive military training two months before the movie started, and now most of the crew members also live in the army, eat and live with the soldiers, and are affected by the troops, everyone eats and devours, please don't be surprised.
When Xiong Jingqi heard it, they were very impressed and said that this is the real artist!
After dinner, Xiong Jing Kai and others asked to see the sample film of "Hoe Rape", and the scene of Zhao Dan being blown up by the bomb left a very strong impression on them, and they were deeply shocked by that shot, and they all wanted to see how "Hoe Rape" was filmed.
The guests all made requests, and the Magic Studio naturally did not refuse, so they brought Kei Kumai and his party and the people from the Film Bureau to the standard screening hall to play the sample film of "Hoe Rape" for them. Before the official screening, Xu Wangqiu gave a brief introduction to the plot of "Hoe Rape" to everyone present, and told them that only part of the scenes of the robbery of the prisoner car and the fierce battle between the hoe and rape team and the enemy were filmed now.
Soon the lights in the screening room went out and the dailies began to play.
As a great director of Dongying, although Kumai Kei can't understand Chinese and doesn't know what the people in the movie say, it doesn't matter at all, he looks at the camera and looks at the audio-visual language. After watching it for less than a minute, he realized that Xu Wangqiu was of a very high standard and was a very creative director. In particular, the two horizontally moving zoom lenses amazed him.
Kenichi Aoi and the other Dongying people do not understand the audio-visual language, nor can they understand Chinese, they do not know what the movie is talking about, and they can also see how good Xu Wangqiu is, and he lacks interest in the scene of the robbery of the prisoner car.
However, the nine-minute carjacking part passed quickly, and the war drama began.
The first shot that appears in front of me is an overhead shot of the second-floor window, and then the camera slowly lifts up, and a gun sticks out of the camera and aims it at the street. The camera's lens is pushed forward, turning into a medium shot of Seo Joo-kook. The hearts of everyone in front of the screen instantly tightened, knowing that the enemy's guns were already aimed at Xu Zhuguo.
A gunshot rang out with a "bang", and a cloud of blood erupted in Xu Zhuguo's abdomen. He screamed "ah" and fell to the ground. The shot is shot in slow motion, which looks bloody and brutal, a nod to Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket". Before the hoe squad could react, the enemy fired again. This shot hit Xu Zhuguo in the chest, completely killing him.
A machine gun came out of the window and fired wildly at the ground, sending columns of smoke to the ground. Zhang Tielin saw the machine gun upstairs and was about to raise the gun to shoot, but he didn't want to be shot in the left shoulder and burst into a cloud of blood. He shook his body and raised his right hand to shoot at the enemy. At that moment, a bomb next to him exploded, blowing him away. Immediately afterwards, Xie Yuan was swept by a machine gun, and six or seven blood holes were punched in his chest, and he fell in a pool of blood.
Sacrificing three teammates at once, Zhou Hanting's heart was like a knife, and he immediately shouted: "Jiang Bida!
Zhang Fengyi held the gun in both hands and pulled the trigger on the enemy upstairs, and the barrel of the gun erupted fierce flames.
With a "bang", one of the eyes of the enemy machine gunner turned into a bloody hole, and a stream of blood burst out from the back of his head......
Kei Kumai and the Dongying people present looked tense, chilled, and trembling, never dreaming that there would be such a war movie, never dreaming that a war scene could be filmed to such an extent, and it would be so real.
Kei Kumai has a feeling that after the release of this movie, the history of war films will be rewritten from now on!
The people of Dongying think it is incredible, how can a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young director shoot a war film to such an extent? How did he do it? How could he do it!
This is an epoch-making film! Such a film should not appear in China, let alone the handwriting of a young man of seventeen or eighteen!
The more than ten minutes of movie footage was very finished, and the lights in the screening room were turned on.
Keicho Kumai let out a long breath, obviously watching a movie, some of the scenes have not been mixed with audio effects, but just looking at the camera, I can see that my back is sweating, "Hoe Rape" is simply not a movie, but a war documentary, with an unparalleled sense of realism. The whole movie is of a very high standard, and the audio-visual language is completely at a master's level, and in Toei, there are only those who can shoot commercial films to this level except for Akira Kurosawa, I'm afraid there is only Shinji Fukasaku!
Other Dongying people were also dumbfounded, the realism of the war scene of "Hoe Rape" and the strong sense of substitution have reached an unprecedented level. In the process of watching the movie, they felt as if they were in the middle of the battlefield, and they could be killed by flying bullets at any time, and they almost forgot to breathe.
The officials of the Demon Capital Film Bureau are also stupid, they have never seen such a real war movie, and they have never seen such a tragic war movie. Compared with the battle scenes in "Hoe Rape", many previous war movies are like children playing at home.
Kenichi Aoi was the first to come back to his senses, like a madman, he screamed, rushed to Xu Shangchu's side and grabbed his hand tightly. Xu Shangchu was startled, thinking to himself what was wrong with this? I only heard Ken Aoi speak incoherently and said with his hands dancing: "Mr. Xu, I hope to be able to buy the distribution rights of this film in Dongying. ”
Xu Shangchu wondered if he had heard it wrong: "You mean to buy "Hoe Rape" and then take it to Dongying to put it?"
Kenichi Aoi said excitedly: "Yes, I want to get the distribution rights of this movie in Toei, you can make a price!"
Chinese films are purchased and sold in a unified manner, and the film is sold directly to the China Film Company after filming, and the copyright is completely owned by the China Film Company, and the distribution of the film at home and abroad is the business of China Film and has nothing to do with the film studio. For the first time, Xu Shangchu encountered a foreign film dealer looking for him to buy the right to distribute a film abroad, and he didn't know how to answer, so he turned his head to look at the people from the Film Bureau: "Chen Ju, what should I do?"
Director Chen also encountered this situation for the first time, so he said to Ken Aoi: "Mr. Aoi, the movie hasn't finished filming yet!"
Kenichi Aoi said directly: "It doesn't matter if it's not finished, you can see the level of the movie from the movie clips." Whether it is from the shooting technique or the visual effect, it is full of creativity. It's an epoch-making film, and I'm willing to take some risks. Well, I'll pay $200,000!"
The people from the Film Bureau and the Magic Film Studio were taken aback, the price of 200,000 yuan is not high, equivalent to 320,000 yuan, but the key person gave it in US dollars, and it was 200,000 US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was completely possible to kill the price of the elements, 4500,000 US dollars. This is only sold for one country, and if other countries come to buy it, wouldn't it make millions of dollars?
Now that the country has begun to engage in construction, it needs to import advanced technology from abroad, but due to the lack of dollars, many times we can only salol over foreign advanced technology. In order to earn foreign exchange, China dared to sell anything, and in 87 directly sold more than 30 Dongfeng missiles to Saudi Arabia. For the country, if any unit can earn dollars, this unit is a bull unit.
If the Shadow Factory can make foreign exchange, then the entire cultural system can be shaken from now on.
However, the flame that ignited in the hearts of everyone present was extinguished by Xu Wangqiu's words: "According to our country's policy, film studios do not have the right to export." After the film is filmed, it must be reviewed by the Film Bureau, and after passing the review, it will be bought out by China Film Company, and the copyright of the film will be owned by China Film Company. If you want the copyright of this movie, you must wait for the film to be finished, wait for "Hoe Rape" to pass the review, and sell it to China Film Company, and then go to China Film Company to buy the copyright. ”
The leaders of the Magic Shadow Studio seem to be looking at the green dollar waving goodbye to themselves, yes, the film must be sold to China Film Company, and all the copyrights are owned by China Film Company, so it has nothing to do with who "Hoe Rape" sells overseas and how much it sells. However, they feel very aggrieved, it is obviously our movie, why have the benefits been taken away by China Film Company? Why did we become China Film when we should have earned dollars? This is so unfair!
Due to policy reasons, Kenichi Aoi failed to buy the copyright from the Shadow Studio as he wished. However, after figuring out China's film policy, Kenichi Aoi made up his mind that when the movie "Hoe Rape" was filmed, he must get the copyright of the film from China Film Company. Based on his many years of experience in the film market, a groundbreaking film like this is very marketable in Toei, and it is entirely possible to sell hundreds of millions of yen, and with the income from video tapes, it is easy to make millions of dollars. For such a movie, not to mention $200,000, even $2 million is definitely worth the price.
Coming out of the Shadow Factory, Ken Aoi felt the wind under his feet, and his whole person was shrouded in joy. The trip to China not only received strong support from the Chinese film industry, but also discovered a movie like "Hoe Rape", which is simply perfect!
At the same time, several other Dongying people were excitedly talking about the clip of "Hoe Rape".
One of them said: "It's amazing, I didn't expect there to be such a powerful director in China." ”
Dongying next to him said: "I didn't expect China's pyrotechnic technology to be so powerful, and the bomb exploded at Zhao Dan's foot during the afternoon when I was filming a war scene, I thought there was a serious accident!
Another man laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Kameda was frightened when it exploded and screamed on the spot. ”
Kameda's face flushed: "It's not just me, those Chinese officials are also frightened, shouting for help!"
Kenichi Aoi saw that Kumai Kai was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and asked, "Mr. Kumai, what are you thinking?"
Xiong Jing Qi said softly: "China has produced a very great director!" He looked up at the dark night sky, as if he saw the distant future: "In the past two years, Chinese films have been screened in Dongying, but Chinese films are relatively backward in terms of audiovisual language. It was still in the pre-New Wave era, but now the change has begun. I think with the release of "Hoe Rape", the New Wave movement of Chinese cinema will be in full swing!"
