Chapter 245: December (4/5 Subscription Requested)
The film copyright of "The Best of Us" was taken away by Huang Bin...
Huang Bin is Zhao Liying's former agent, this gentleman has always made good connections, and he came from all directions, of course, at the beginning, he invited Shen Ming and Cheng Xiao to appear in the movie version, but after being decisively refused, he found his old friend Herui Pictures to work together.
The new director, Zhang Disha, the screenwriter of "Blooming Hearts", was enabled.
The actor found Chen Feiyu, and the heroine is an Internet celebrity...
The investment is definitely low!
Shen Ming doesn't care much about this thing, "The Best of Us" will definitely be filmed in a movie version, how can capital let go of such a big IP?
Who plays or not?
Cheng Xiao is very unhappy, in her opinion, "The Best of Us" is her love work with Shen Ming...
But Chen Feiyu is Lao Chen's son, what can you do?
People stand in the C position in all the actors who participated in "My Motherland and Me"!
An American, singing 'My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment'...
Awkward!
It's funny to think about, you won't be like Tang Poof, with 'Loyal to the Country' engraved on the back, right?
However, American citizenship seems to have to go to the United States every year to pay taxes - the American law makes it very clear that an American must pay taxes to the United States on the money he earns anywhere!
……
Heading into December...
This year's Lunar New Year stalls are very different from previous years!
Domestic movies, none of them can be beaten!
And then what?
"Venom", box office prediction, about 700 million...
The prediction of "Aquaman" is also around 700 million;
Marvel and DC superhero single-player series, generally around 700 million, these have been repeatedly tested by the market, and they are also accounts that the producer, planner, and promoter must understand in the early stage.
This is based on type, the most reliable analysis!
Because the market has verified it countless times, "Venom" and "Aquaman" are not familiar big IPs to Chinese audiences...
then "Venom" won 1.8 billion at the box office;
"Aquaman" won 788 million in the first weekend of the relay...
Lose your marbles...
The last time this situation occurred, it was "Titanic 3D", "Super Battleship", and "Men in Black 3" that dominated the mainland film industry in 2012...
At that time, Ning Hao brought "The Great Gold Robbery" to shake "Titanic 3D" and won 150 million box office...
There is no Huayi in the Lunar New Year file, it really seems to have no backbone!
"Hello, Zhihua" and "Dog Thirteen" have a good reputation, but these two are not commercial films!
The company studied it, and then set "Ringing Call" on December 21...
In fact, it was requested by Shen Ming, on December 21, a "Weather Forecast" was released, with Xiao Yueyue participating.
Bad movie booking!
Shen Ming has also been busy recently, in addition to continuing to fight with Xijie Entertainment, he also has to take time to participate in the "My Motherland and Me" seminar...
In addition, the script of "Flag Guard" has been finalized!
……
"The background remains the same, the 08 Olympics, the hostile forces remain the same..."
"We investigated, at that time in Paris, the Chinese female disabled fencer Jin Jing, she was beaten and threatened when she was protecting the flame, and then it triggered all the overseas Chinese to spontaneously protect the torch relay!
“… My script is four cities..."
“… It's a bit repetitive!"
"Boss, we think that in the last few minutes, we can insert a clip of the Chinese people around the world spontaneously protecting the flame... And we always feel that protecting the flame should not be confused with protecting the flag!"
"Yes, our focus should be on flag protection!"
Finally finished reading the script, Shen Ming looked up: "... I'm worried about whether I can pass the trial..."
Of course, what is written in the script is true, the West is indeed an anti-China stronghold, and many Hollywood stars openly support ZD and have made movies that reflect ZD!
But you can't shoot like this publicly, in case someone deducts a hat of 'destroying the relationship between China and X', will the movie still be filmed?
“… Who in the world doesn't know who the leaders of France and Germany have met, why can't they shoot it?"
The consciousness and style of some screenwriters are always maverick, extremely sharp, sharp, and tearing the truth in front of your eyes.
That's great, of course, but it's hard to get your stuff out there!
“… Don't just name the villain, or, just say that the villain is a ZD element!"
"And where do their money come from?"
"Don't you care where his funds come from? Anyway, it's not a second fund!" Shen Ming directly gave the final bottom line: "Now it's not a question of whether you can shoot or not, it's a question of whether you can pass the review." You directly set the villain Chi Guoguo as the government of several countries, and it must not be able to pass the trial, just do as I say, don't step on the line above, don't exceed the rules in the middle, and explain the story, everyone is happy!"
Yu Liang looked at the screenwriters under his hands: "Okay, we will revise it as appropriate"
"Hmm!"
“… Boss, can I follow you this time?"
“… Do you want to learn directing?"
Yu Liang nodded: "I always stay in the office, I also feel bored, and I always feel shallow on paper..."
“… Well, if any of you want to go, give your name to Dante. ”
"Good!"
The filming location of "Flag Guard" has been preliminarily set in Paris, and the script outline has been submitted for review.
Shen Ming wants to be a director, and it is impossible to lack funds.
It's a benefit for the company's employees!
……
Evening of December 8th.
Water Cube.
Huabiao Award Ceremony!
There are so many stars that they are scared to death, what Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Ge You, Wang Jiawei, and Chen Long are all listed.
Shen Ming and Cheng Xiao sat on the left side of the first row, next to Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei, and there were a handful of lottery and award presenters.
Feng Xiaogang actually came, but unfortunately, there was no shot of him at all...
The curtain opened, Zhang Yimou walked out: "Film is my best dream, 40 years ago, in 1978, I was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, because of the reform and opening up, my classmates and I have changed our fate, we are deeply grateful for this great era, let us enter the palace of film." Forty years of magnificent waves, Chinese films have always walked with the times. ”
The lights dimmed and turned on again, and the time was pulled back to the 80s of the last century, and the big screen played back the classic Huabiao Award-winning films "Blood is Always Hot", "Wrangler" and "The Big Parade", and then to the Huabiao Award-winning films "Get Out!
Wu Gang, Wang Xueqi, Bai Baihe, Deng Chao and other leading actors of the film successively came to the center of the stage to reproduce the playback of classic passages.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Wen!"
When Jiang Wen spoke, he may still be looking forward to the applause from the audience, but unfortunately, a group of people were bathed in patriotic education, looking down at the red scarf on his chest, and no one listened to what he said...
"China is a country with a population of more than a billion people, and we have our own great movies. I am entrusted by the conference to invite the Huabiao Award. ”
It's really okay, these links and lines set up by the conference, that's called an embarrassment...
Even a benchmark figure like Shen Ming felt awkward...
