Chapter 85: Change of Attitude (6/6 Subscription Requested)
It's true, when your first work is successful, many people will look forward to your second part, and you yourself will raise the bar.
Always thinking about holding back a big move...
It's okay for a year or two, but if you hold it for a long time, you will have doubts about yourself.
Therefore, Han Shao has not written any more books since "1988"...
"Why do you have to be a director yourself? You can find someone to be a director!"
"I've actually thought about this question, but most directors have their own tendency to express themselves, and if you give him another relatively mature expression, maybe he will have to reinstall it, and it's not the thing you want!"
……
The end of the Changsha roadshow also represents the official end of the roadshow promotion of "Protecting the Flag".
Just went home for a light meal.
Mom said a bunch of words urging marriage as usual, probably when you reach a certain age, you should do what you should do at this age!
'Is that the average age of the goods to be driven to death?'
'You kid, how do you talk?'
Mom shut up...
As for other relatives, do you really think that the elders ask if they are married, whether they are ready to have children, etc., in fact, in most cases, they are really speechless, who is free, life is a bunch of trivial things, who wants to care who wants to get married or not?
After eating, Shen Ming and Cheng Xiao went to watch "The Decisive Moment"...
Shen Ming has a crazy fascination with this kind of grand narrative tribute film.
The fragment of the founding ceremony in "The Decisive Moment", the restored version truly restores all the details of the scene at that time, as if you were in person at a grand event.
In the previous films, most of the content involving the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China quoted black and white video historical materials.
In "The Decisive Moment", the restored color high-definition picture of the founding ceremony was presented on the big screen for the first time!
Rushing to the 4-minute plot, Shen Ming also wants to watch it!
How to say it...
No surprises, no better, no worse.
Continuing the narrative mode inherent in this genre for decades, tall and majestic leaders, passionate battle scenes, complex and cumbersome negotiation processes and meeting scenes, classic quotations recited in large paragraphs, and vivid special actors.
In addition to the existing historical process, it is difficult to condense a meaningful story line in the whole movie.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has achieved the extreme of the existing scale.
Sometimes I really feel that our tribute film is too corrective, and you just say that the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is by no means the so-called "brotherly dispute", but an unmistakable "struggle between revolution and counter-revolution." 'Jiang Jiguofu is not a good bird at all, and Jiang Zhongzheng is not a "hero of the end". Jiang Ji Guofu is a state-class regime that regards assassination, bribery, oppression, and exploitation as commonplace, and Jiang Zhongzheng is also a first-class politician who does everything to suppress the revolutionary forces. ’
China's civil war and revolution are a by-product of World War II, or a continuation of the World War against *** in China...
From this point of view, our war of liberation is anti-***!
In front of other main theme movies, "The Decisive Moment" has been strategically abandoned!
Mixed between the summer file and the National Day file, Yu Dong is not good to give it a go!
A word of complaint, in our film industry, the status of music is very low, when "The Decisive Moment" played the violin, I actually chose "Amazing Grace", that thing is a gospel song!
A kind of religious music!
I don't understand how much people who do movie scoring in China like "Amazing Grace":
"Wolf Warrior 2", put "Amazing Grace";
"No Questions Asked West and East", put "Amazing Grace";
"The Decisive Moment", especially "Amazing Grace"!
This is the so-called main theme movie that plays the card of national feelings and family and country feelings!
I don't ask them to write any original music, but there are so many composers and so many classic repertoire outside Taiwan in ancient and modern times, why do they like to catch the sheep hair of "Amazing Grace" so much?
are all true fans of "The White Tower"!
Patriotism is a basket that can be filled with anything, whether you are a feudal woman, Christ Jesus, or something else...
It may also be because of "Amazing Grace" - violin level 1 exam repertoire;
"The Internationale" - violin level 2 repertoire, not enough funds...
……
In fact, "The Decisive Moment" was originally scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but for some reason, it was suddenly changed to September 20;
Not only "The Decisive Moment", but also "The Whistleblower", "Hypnosis Verdict", "Ice Storm", "Leisurely Seeing Nanshan" including "Hometown Heart"...
"The Whistleblower" is directed by Xue Xiaolu, the theme is more daring, the so-called "whistleblower" is a concept from the United Kingdom, specifically referring to those who find shortcomings in the government and enterprises and expose the truth. Well, it doesn't fit the peaceful atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival;
"Ice Storm" collided with "The Climber", and no one knows why "Hypnosis Verdict" and "Leisurely See Nanshan" were withdrawn...
Presumably for technical reasons.
On the 24th, Shen Ming returned to Shanghai.
A group of people in the company saw him with all kinds of respects, which made him very unaccustomed...
What's the situation?
In the past, when we met, although there were also some emotions of subordinates when they met their bosses, it was not to the level of respect...
"Mr. Shen!"
"Mr. Shen!"
“… Hello..."
Entering the office, Shen Ming sat down and asked Dante, "What's the situation?"
"Isn't this a big hit of "Flag Guarding"!"
"My previous movies were also big sellers, and "The Wandering Earth" sold 5.36 billion!"
“… But our company's account sharing is not as much as this time!"
That's right!
"Protecting the Flag", Minghui Company invests 50% and makes 50% profit - after deducting Shen Ming's 18% profit share...
Shen Ming signed an 18% profit share - in comparison, Feng Xiaogang's director's salary is generally 10 million plus 8% revenue share.
Shen Ming directly did not ask for the basic director's fee.
"Protecting the Flag" was released for 12 days, with a cumulative box office of 2 billion, and in the next 6 days, there is still no enough movie to be released, according to the prediction of the eye, the total box office of 2.5 billion is not a problem...
set a box office champion for directorial debut!
Minghui company made a profit of at least 300 million...
When everyone in the company faces Shen Ming, they will be so respectful - this Nima is the living God of Wealth.
It's like after Xu Bald was embarrassed, the whole circle looked at him differently.
The difference between a pure actor and a director is quite big...
“… Okay, this time it's the right time, the right place and all three, if you change any schedule, you won't be able to touch a movie like "Zhu Xian" with a serious reputation!"
"What about 'Shanghai Fortress'?"
“… I mean, it's hard to come across. ”
Damn, "Shanghai Fortress" was almost nailed to the pillar of shame...
Shen Ming asked, "How is the company now?"
"It's good... We've seen a couple of great projects, would you like to check them out?"
