Chapter 106: Intention (4/5)
The Martian should be in time for next year's Lunar New Year – and it has to be!
Otherwise, such a big schedule will be dominated by a bunch of bad movies such as "Railway Flying Tiger" and "The Ferryman"?
As for "The Demon Chapter"...
If Zhou Xingxing is willing to listen to persuasion and doesn't need to be Brother Fan, then it's okay to say...
If he doesn't listen to persuasion, he has to use Brother Fan, then sell the production rights to Wanda...
Anyway, the Spring Festival stalls in 2017 are still early...
As for the question of small fresh meat...
If you are Lu Xiaoran, you are also angry, what kind of thing is this, you don't memorize the lines, you rely on the later dubbing, even Xiaotian can't compare, although Xiaotian cuts out the picture, it doesn't need dubbing, it's all on its own!
It's a pity, the species is wrong, and many fans like it to be 'so cute, I want to touch it' instead of 'I want to help you give birth to a monkey'!
The value of an actor is reflected through the creation of characters, maybe those little fresh meat don't feel like they are actors from the bottom of their hearts...
They act, take on plays, and just run notices to make money...
From scratch to final maturity, an industry has experienced the initial frenzy - overheating and cooling - technology latent - the main wave of the industry - overheating peaking - slow decline, and there is no suspense in this process.
Everybody knows!
But they didn't know that the decline was so fast!
Two years later, in 2017, these people gradually became marginal idols, separated from actors and singers...
......
"Just Kidding" is Jim Carrey's work, and the whole play is about the collapse of an idealist.
Lu Xiaoran changed the script, and the male protagonist is called Zhou Xingxing
He's a children's presenter and he's forced to create a perfect fairytale world...
In real life, one of the twin sons died in a car accident, and his wife divorced him with another son and slowly walked out of the haze, but Zhou Xingxing's world was not successfully rebuilt and was still in ruins.
He has a kind nature, has a soft and delicate heart, life hits him critically, but he tries to be gentle in return, for example, the driver of the car accident was injured in the accident and could not take care of himself and his children, and he had no source of livelihood, but Zhou Xingxing, as the victim, sent them living expenses every month, which was also unacceptable to his ex-wife;
After the marriage change, he mustered up the courage to fall in love with the girl who was suffering from cancer, Zhou Xingxing chose to face it with her, offering double love and sincerity, and finally the girl's condition improved, but when Zhou Xingxing happily thought that his life was about to turn around, he was notified that there was no place for him in the later planning.
He never hesitated to give his shoulders to lean on, only to have these people he thought were worth it to step into the dirt...
All the contradictions are tangled and irreconcilable, no one is wrong, everyone is justified, but they hurt each other like this.
We either adapt to reality and become accustomed to following habits, or we escape from reality and deceive ourselves, or we hate reality and feel sorry for ourselves...
This is an anti-chicken soup story!
"Just kidding", it's not funny at all!
Very sad...
After reading the script, Zhou Xingchi hesitated: "Can I play this?"
“... It's hard to say, it's easy to find a platform to pay, but whether the audience will accept it, I don't know!"
Lu Xiaoran was also very hesitant...
The script is too sad - if you change the middle part, the protagonist finally cheers up and renews the relationship with his ex-wife, reconciles with his father, and the show is thriving, and the chicken soup drama that is forcibly sublimated...
Then it doesn't make sense...
"I need to think about it!"
“... No problem, you can just think about it..."
Zhou Xingchi doesn't act, in addition to feeling that he is not suitable, there is also the problem of the script...
In fact, for comedians, "old age" is really not a problem, sometimes the older you get, the more popular you are, and the audience will be happy when they look at your face.
Leslie Nelson, the grandfather of nonsensical movies, was born in 26 years, and is the same generation as Team America, and he was 60 when he played the white-headed detective!
As for whether to recover or not to recover the cost?
No TV station wants to broadcast it?
Think too much!
"Not Afraid of the Dark" was broadcast on Mango Channel for three consecutive days - Brother Xun + Liang Chaowei, three episodes of TV series...
......
""Operation Mekong" is looking at 1.5 billion, but why hasn't our market value risen at all?"
“... It's not bad if it doesn't fall, you didn't look at those companies, especially Huayi, 38 billion!"
"Eh, you say, should we take over a few theme parks that Huayi has talked about?"
“... Don't worry, wait another two years!"
got out of the car, Lu Xiaoran walked into the studio of "Mars Rescue"...
This studio cost close to $800 million, Orange's future sci-fi base!
It is also the industrial base of Chinese films!
Raising the level of filmmaking in a country doesn't happen overnight.
It took more than 20 years for South Korea to achieve a little success, China is so big, and the film market is staggered, how can Lu Xiaoran raise his arms alone and have an immediate effect?
What's more, there is a natural shackle in front of us - censorship!
To be able to do it like this is already the level of the founder!
“... Luck a little red sand, yellow sand does not fit the terrain of Mars..."
"It's okay, let's just make it red later!"
"That's not good, it's not like we don't have money..."
When Lu Xiaoran entered the crew, he talked feverishly with the props in the later stage, and directly dropped Zhong Lifang and Tangtang who came with him...
The two women are calculating the market.
"This year's total box office is 52 billion, and our domestic box office is 13 billion, the share has decreased compared with last year, but the total amount has increased..."
"The total box office in North America is $806 million, which is also down from last year..."
"The box office of overseas movies is 1.7 billion US dollars, and the overseas sales of TV dramas are 400 million yuan..."
“... Sister Zhong, who are we selling TV series to?"
"A lot, Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe... Our TV series are selling well overseas!"
"No wonder you have been refusing to give up on TV series..."
"Of course you can't give up, it's a cash flow..."
After a pause, Zhong Lifang continued: "According to the plan of the Film Bureau, the total box office this year can be between 55 billion and 60 billion, then we must stand above 15 billion..."
"It's a little hard, isn't it?"
“... It's difficult, the films released this year are basically original IPs, and I'm not sure..."
While chatting, Zhong Lifang's mobile phone rang, she connected, and then her face was strange...
Tangtang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"They want to guarantee a minimum of 2 billion to release "Mermaid"!"
"Who?"
"A lot of people... Let's go back first!"
After the post-processing of the film is completed, in addition to the dragon mark that is reported to the General Administration to obtain the release qualification, there will generally be a viewing meeting organized by major theaters.
The premise is a work directed by a big director, or a movie starring a big star.
The production company generally invites peers to evaluate together, and then the theater chain combines the publicity of the film and the star cast to determine the number of films to be released.
However, in recent years, with the large-scale entry of capital, the film viewing meeting has become a film buying meeting.
This time, Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" just held a viewing party, and there are a bunch of people who want to jointly guarantee the release!
The price code given, Brother Song was tempted - 2 billion guaranteed!
