There is a joke circulating in the market:

In 1988, Ah Mou won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum", and Director Chen, who learned the news, was holding the newspaper in his hand to go to the toilet and said, "Ya is not me a photographer".

It's hard to argue whether this paragraph is true or false, because the source of the rumor is Hong Huang, who is Director Chen's ex-wife...

This aunt's life is full of nonsense, so there is a high probability that it is fake!

However, the frustration is real.

In the same year, Director Chen took the movie "The Child King" to the Cannes Film Festival and also won an award, called "Golden Alarm Clock".

The award was given by three French journalists in a café for the fact that the film was boring and lethargic!

Look, isn't it unbalanced?

Now Ah Mou has won the third Golden Lion Award, and his status in film history has risen infinitely...

How can Director Chen, who was born a lifelong enemy, be left behind?

……

To make film and television is to make content, this is the consensus!

How to do the content?

Talent!

After the capital entered the market, they have bound a bunch of directors, especially when they saw the precedent of Huayi's success - Huayi's biggest wealth is a bunch of stars!

For example: Chen Guofu left Huayi and set up his own Gongfu Films, without developing a single project, and directly got an investment of 400 million.

Capital just took a fancy to him as a person.

The imperfection of the industry standardization system, at present, the profit model of most film and television companies still comes from the movie box office, and relies more on stars, directors, screenwriters, etc.

At present, domestic first-line directors, actors and other resources are scarce, and the film and television market is highly concentrated in directors and other resources, which makes the phenomenon of star capital bundling more and more.

Of course, capital can't invest in you just because you're a person, you have to bring returns.

Thus, the VAM was born!

The so-called VAM agreement is actually an agreement between the acquirer, the investor, the transferor and the financier on the uncertain future when they enter into a merger and acquisition or financing agreement.

The financier may exercise a right if the agreed conditions arise, and the investor may exercise a right if the agreed conditions do not arise. Therefore, a VAM is actually a form of option.

It's a bit complicated to say this, but it's simple: the county lord Dajia takes a fancy to the poor talent A Yi, and thinks that he will do a lot in the future, so he wants to fund him, but what if he sees that the money is gone?

So the eldest man agreed with Xiucai A Yi: I will give you 100 taels, you go to the exam, and I will subsidize you for free if you win the top prize, and if you don't get in, you have to pay me back 300 taels of silver.

Xiucai Ah Yi thought: It's not impossible for me to work hard, and I want to be rich and dangerous, so I hit it off and had a gambling agreement.

VAM agreements are popular in many industries and are even more common in the entertainment industry.

Some people think that the VAM agreement has become a "cancer" that hinders the creation of film and television dramas, but is this really the case?

VAM is a means to reduce investment risks and motivate financing enterprises to be proactive.

Most of the time, the goal of the bet is exaggerated, and the plugging is a bubble, meaning that it is difficult for your current resources to reach the goal, and you will be forced to achieve it.

In this way, you have to do what you have to do.

Kitchen knives are not guilty, but murder with knives is guilty.

Capital is not the original sin!

As a capital investment tool, the VAM agreement is neither a tumor nor arsenic, and celebrities should know the consequences when they sign the VAM agreement!

Don't take the money, and said that he was forced to take the bad movie out of desperation.

Director Chen also signed the agreement, but he signed a binding agreement: the "Director Cooperation Agreement", which stipulates that Director Chen will exclusively cooperate with Sinic Media in the Greater China region on the film business during the validity period of the agreement, and serve as the director in 7 films produced by Sinic Media, with a validity period of seven years and a cooperation signing fee of 21 million yuan.

The first work "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain"...

The original Xu Haofeng...

Coming out next year, he's looking for a new project, preferably with both word-of-mouth and box office...

To put it bluntly, it is a movie that can win awards and earn box office!

Now, according to Zhang Yimou's original words: Now the Chinese film market is good, frankly speaking, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find a general, that is, it is difficult to encounter a good script.

Ah Mou won the Golden Lion Award, who was the first to thank him?

Screenwriter Lu Xiaoran!

His original words: "I make movies according to the speed of the script, if there is a good script, we can build a group in half a month, and next year we are going to shoot two scenes, "International Market" and "Beauty Mistake", the script is already very complete..."

"It's all written for me. ”

Okay, Director Chen also found Lu Xiaoran...

……

Ning Hao commented on Director Chen before: Director Chen reached a peak in "Farewell My Concubine", but he was later isolated, and there was no truth-telling person around him.

also bluntly added the sentence "to marry a good wife".

——Southern People Weekly

That's true, when he filmed "Yellow Earth", Ah Mou was his photographer; when he filmed "The Child King", Lao Gu was his photographer, and later after filming "Farewell My Concubine", the two did not cooperate again...

On the other hand, most of his co-operative comrades-in-arms only accompanied him to "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" in 99, such as the recording engineer Tao Jing, such as the composer Zhao Jiping, and the executive director Zhang Jinzhan...

Zhao Xiaoding, the executive director of Amou, and even the entire team have been working together for more than ten years...

He's surrounded by juniors now...

Therefore, he asked someone to find Lu Xiaoran and said very bluntly: "Write a script for Director Chen!"

He doesn't know Lu Xiaoran's status, it doesn't mean that the people around him don't know!

Lv 400... Five hundred...

Such a person will easily write a script for someone else ...

Take the money and smash it?

What are you kidding, you talk to him about money?

Gotta figure it out...

……

At this time, Lu Xiaoran was filming the scene where Sugar Candy landed on the earth in "Gravity"...

Previously filmed footage of the heroine falling into the water on Apollo, the remaining long shot will be the scene where Sugar Candy takes off her sky suit and swims back to land.

- The plot was modified, and the space agency that helped the heroine become the old beauty...

The two camera assistants have already put on their diving suits and will capture Tangtang's performance underwater, Lu Xiaoran checked the crew's equipment, and then said: "If there is any problem, make a gesture, we will stop immediately!"

“… I'm a very good swimmer!"

"That's not to be careless, you know, those who drowned are... Phew..."

Tangtang smiled and ran to the side to prepare, Lu Xiaoran looked to the other side, three lifeguards were already in place, if there was any accident among the actors and photographers underwater, they would be able to go into the water to rescue them as soon as possible.

"OK! Ready!"

The underwater scene is relatively simple, Sugar Candy makes a few moves to take off her spacesuit, shakes off all the shackles, and swims upwards, she passes through a clump of aquatic weeds, and soon approaches the water.

By the way, this section was shot in a water tank, and it was impossible to really find a lake to shoot - the purity was not enough, and the lens was not clear!

The whole process was only a dozen seconds, and the underwater shooting used a high-speed slow motion, and at the moment when she was about to get out of the water, the main camera immediately turned over, clearly capturing her every movement.

Sugar Candy struggled to climb the 'lake shore', she was no longer able to stand up, she just pressed her face against the soil on the shore, feeling the earth, feeling the aftermath of the disaster, feeling her own rebirth...

“… Do you want to grab a handful of dirt?"
