Chapter 83: August (3/5)
(To be reasonable, I'm water, but I'm cute!)
The higher a person's social rank, the more people he has contacts, the greater his power to control others, and the more obvious the predestination and inevitability of his every action. - Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
Is Zheng Xiaolong considered the Beijing circle?
It must be counted, it was Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Baogang who he promoted back then...
However, he has nothing to do with these two now...
In the early years, there was a debate in the TV center: ask whether TV dramas rely more on movies or more on dramas?
Zheng Xiaolong insisted on standing on the side of the movie, and felt that it should be carefully polished and substituted for the director's strong subjective creation!
Then, the once-glorious TV center ushered in a dim market in the market. After Lao Zheng was promoted to director, the center's creative concept returned to the old way, emphasizing the meaning of the work, the director's talent, and investing regardless of the return, which completely violated the production mechanism of popular culture.
As soon as the TV center lost momentum, it directly led to Zheng Xiaolong stepping down from the altar...
But it doesn't matter, he has a good relationship with Chang Jihong!
Why can Jiang Wenli and Sun Li relay Zheng Xiaolong's works?
"Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan"...
In addition to its own strength, is there no other blessing?
Therefore, Sister Ge starred in the next work directed by Bruce Cheng, even if there is no Lu Xiaoran, there will be a great chance...
But "Emergency Doctor" is a TV series after all, and after thinking about it, I simply handed over the heroine of "Operation Red Sea" to her...
In the final analysis, Lu Xiaoran is also playing with connections, which is no different from the Beijing circle...
It is said that the face-bumping monster starred in "Private Custom" at the wedding scene of director Teng Huatao... Step into the core resource circle of the Beijing circle.
A few years ago, she was still playing Sister Ge in "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth".
What is the relationship between Teng Huatao and Gangzi, they are neighbors!
How's the relationship?
In 1995, during the low tide of domestic film and television, no one else had a drama to film, Director Teng, who had just graduated from Nortel's Department of Literature, actually successfully directed "New Romance Era", who is the heroine of this play? Coincidentally, it is Mr. Wang's girlfriend, the talented girl Xu!
Insert a sentence, "Liuhai Fortress" failed fiascoly, and a group of friends in the Beijing circle led by the early stage of the article also went to Weibo to support it, pointing to the deer as a horse...
That scene is really a once-in-a-lifetime wonder in Chinese film history, comparable to 'I like it'...
So, no matter what the circle, pay attention to connections!
In a word: No one in the DPRK is an official, and no one in the circle is not acting.
……
In fact, "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" knows what this movie is about from the name!
Everyone likes to say: spoilers to kill the whole family.
For some movies with a strong sense of suspense, being spoiled will indeed lose a large part of the movie-watching fun.
But there are also some movies that don't really care about spoilers. Even if you already know the synopsis, or guess the next dramatic conflict and story twist on your own during the movie, you still won't find the movie boring, but will find it good-looking, and even moved to tears.
Although the plot of this type of movie is cliché and there is nothing new, the plain story will always be told to you in a different way, but it seems unconventional - after all, there is nothing new under the sun, and it is always your own experience that is moved.
"Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" is a typical example!
Geng Hao, a rebellious son who runs a rock band in Beijing and insists on his music dream, has a moxican hairstyle, because his fiancée is pregnant, he returns to his parents' house on his hometown island and prepares to get married, but finds that his father has already had terminal cancer.
In the process of taking care of their father, the father and son gradually untied their knots, re-understood and accepted each other, and gave both parties the opportunity to grow together.
At the end of the story, Geng Hao has transformed from a casual boy to a reliable man and a reliable husband...
It's cliché.
So, let's add jokes to it!
The crew is filming the scene where the father and son meet for the first time.
Uncle Ge: "What are you doing in Beijing now?"
"Huh?"
"What do you do??"
"There's work..."
"What do you do?"
“… I've been raising cacti lately, and then selling them to the flower market, and I can make 5 yuan each!"
Cong Shan couldn't help but interject: "Planting cacti?"
Uncle Ge didn't care about this, and asked, "What about your band?"
"Still doing it!"
Bo Ge took out a CD from the bag he was carrying: "This is our band's latest recorded album!"
"Can you make money doing a band?"
"I didn't want to make money making music, it's my hobby!"
Ge You sighed, and then asked, "Then what do you rely on to support yourself?"
Brother Bo pointed at Zhang Xiaofei: "Rely on her!"
Uncle Ge's face turned pale, and he picked up the fruit that had just been put on the table and threw it at him!
Bo Ge was stunned for a second, then shot back in the same way.
Uncle Ge was also stunned, he didn't expect his son to fight back, and he was about to do it in anger, and the two ran around the table for half a circle...
Of course, this is a comic narrative, so in the next second, Uncle Ge fell, and then he entered the back room with difficulty, picked up the phone and informed the neighbors and relatives: There is a banquet, and they are all coming!
Why the feast?
My daughter-in-law is pregnant!
……
Time passes day by day, and August is coming to an end...
The summer file is very crazy, with five movies with a box office of more than one billion, "Big Man 3" 1.8 billion, "Monster Hunt" 2.48 billion, "The Return of the Great Sage" 1.16 billion, "Pancake Man" 1.28 billion, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" 1.9 billion...
In addition to lamenting the arrival of the prosperous age of movies, practitioners are more discussing the public welfare screening of "Monster Hunt"...
It's obviously a ghost field, brushing the box office, but instead it's a 'public welfare screening'?
It's not a big deal, it's just a box office, and Hollywood hasn't brushed it!
Anle Pictures just lie down and let it be ridiculed...
Instead of jumping out and saying, 'We don't have the ability to get 2.5 billion!'
There are also a bunch of fans to help wash the floor:
'It's better to pay for it yourself than to steal someone else's box office!'
'What's the point of making a big fuss?' What movie doesn't make a big deal at the box office now?'
"Super 7 won't talk about the death of the starring actor for publicity? It's hard to say, this is a steamed bun that eats human blood! Before the release, what else did Paul say, this is the last part of the series, after the box office in the mainland exploded, there will be a plan for the next step immediately, when it comes to discipline, An Le is definitely much better than the Hollywood ticket company, at least people still have a little celebrity feelings in their hearts!'
Not to mention, there is some truth in what these fans say!
But other theaters can't watch it...
Because he brushed it in his own theater, it is equivalent to his left hand, in addition to the film special fund, there is also a turnover tax, which accounts for about 8%...
Left-handed to right-handed, much simpler!
In other words, the cumulative box office is already 2.3 billion, and if it reaches 2.5 billion, it only needs to cost 16 million at most...
The real public welfare screening is to open a morning show in theaters across the country, and the filmmaker does not charge a dime...
If you don't play public welfare screenings, do you still pretend to be a name?
A bunch of insiders also stood up to spray Anle Pictures...
It's hard for you to understand what Anle Pictures does, and it's not a public company!
The box office surpassed "Furious 7", and then what?
It's still lower than "Tang Detective"!
