Chapter 327: Six Projects (3/6)
At the booth position, Tang Ningyu introduced a few people to Zhang Junsheng.
"This is Su Xiaowei, deputy director of the Film Script Center of the General Administration. β
"This is Xia Gang. β
These two are Li Ziwen and Song Wen, the founders of the FIRST Youth Film Festival. β
"Hello teachers..."
Zhang Junsheng greeted them one by one.
Su Xiaowei seemed to admire Zhang Junsheng very much: "It is said that Zhang is always a young talent, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today!"
ββ¦ Where, compared to my predecessors, I am far behind..."
Zhang Junsheng said modestly.
Xia Gang shook his head: "I can't make a movie like "Tangshan Earthquake", even if I am asked to study for another three years, I can't do it!"
ββ¦ The main reason is that Liu Heng's screenwriter's script research is done well, I just filmed the book. β
Xia Gang, a senior director, has filmed "Half of the Flame, Half of the Sea", "The Great Satan", and "A Woman's Epic".
Su Xiaowei's husband is Huo Jianqi, "The Winner", "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", "Autumn Baihua", "Xiao Hong", are all masterpieces of these two.
"It's also a kind of ability to shoot out the book!"
Su Xiaowei praised again.
Zhang Junsheng always felt that this person was a little too favoritive...
You're fifty years old, don't be like this
Li Ziwen spoke: "I heard that Yuehua has a Chinese film subsidy program, and Mr. Zhang intends to support young filmmakers"
Tang Ningyu: "Yes, as long as it is a good project, we will invest." β
Zhang Junsheng touched his nose and nodded.
This is customary, and every film company has a so-called film charity fund, and Yuehua is no exception.
The goal is to find new filmmakers, and of course, there is also the purpose of making money...
Yuehua's reputation has been played, a bunch of people are holding banknotes and want to get on the boat, don't pit them, they are a little sorry for the country they have worked so hard to build, besides, Zhang Junsheng is not pitted, there will be others pitted...
The Law of Conservation of Energy: The total amount of money always remains the same, neither creating nor disappearing out of thin air. It will only move from one person to another.
Since it will be transferred, why not transfer it to Zhang Junsheng
Of course, if there are good projects, he will not not not not invest, the problem is that there are too few good projects, the Film Foundation has been established for a year, and the total number of projects "The Piano of Steel" has been promoted, which was brought by Wang Qianyuan!
Most of them are messy movie projects, for example: there is a film called "HΓΆlderlin's Tao", the name is very literary, the script is a mess, probably a pair of little sisters like a wild model to lift Tao little brother, sister is an old virgin, sister is a little slut, sister and little brother when they tie a thread on their sister's fingers, so that sister can also feel the rhythm of popping...
But my sister has always wanted to be with her beloved, but what she loves most is her clay pot!
That's right!
And then the male protagonist took the broken jar and stabbed the sister who was still a virgin.,And then the jar was broken in the private parts!
My sister was stabbed in the womb by a broken jar and crippled in a wheelchair...
Well, it's very literary, it's cutting-edge, it's very art...
"I wanted to explore a deeper level of human desire through this film. β
Zhang Junsheng directly told him to get out!
Literary films are not a fig leaf for bad movies...
Li Ziwen glanced at Su Xiaowei, and then took out a stack of paper: "These are all scripts that we think are very good, you can take the time to take a look..."
ββ¦ So much"
Su Xiaowei explained with a smile: "The movie channel has special funds, so many young filmmakers are willing to contribute..."
Zhang Junsheng picked up his wine glass and toasted: "... Sister Su, which of these do you think are the most interesting?"
ββ¦ I knew you were going to ask!"
Su Xiaowei pointed at Song Wen: "You let him speak!"
"We received a total of 512 scripts, 208 in the primary selection, 37 in the secondary selection, and 10 in the third selection... The movie channel asked for three, and there are seven left..."
"The movie channel asked for three"
"They all picked up some relatively small investments, such as these two "Sun Tzu from the United States" and "Da Ming Tribulation"..."
"Sun Tzu Comes from America"
"It's about telling the story of old Chinese people and American children..."
Zhang Junsheng's heart moved: "I want this movie,"
Without waiting for Su Xiaowei to speak, Zhang Junsheng explained: "I can achieve simultaneous release in China and the United States, and movie channels can also participate in investment!"
This movie Zhang Junsheng knows, also called "When Sun Wukong Meets Spider-Man", tells the story of the grandfather and grandson love between the stubborn old man in the shadow puppet show in northern Shaanxi and the foreign grandson who is not related to the blood, and the collision of different cultures, which finally melted because of feelings.
The funniest part in it is that the grandson was dyed black by his grandfather and lied to others that he was a new child!
Su Xiaowei stopped talking...
Zhang Junsheng's energy is still clear to her.
In fact, the movie channel has participated in many movies in recent years, in addition to the well-known "Lu Xiaofeng Series", "Prodigal Son Yanqing", as well as "Transformers III", "Drug War"...
Tang Ningyu continued: "We are very willing to cooperate with China Film and Movie Channel, the most important thing is a good project!"
Xia Gang smiled: "Then I'm not hypocritical, this time, there are actually only five projects that a few of us really like, "Stone", "The Trace of the Widow", "Grandson from the United States", "Funeral Coffin" and "Da Ming Tribulation"..."
"There is also a "Liu Rushi" that I particularly like!"
Zhang Junsheng flipped through the script of "Sun Tzu Comes from the United States", and then nodded: "Okay, I want it all." β
"Lao Tang, you find Lao Zhao tomorrow, let him help set up the project, build a group, find actors, the specific investment amount, you and Lao Zhao will sum it up, by the way, this "Sun Tzu from the United States", I will hand it over to Wen Ziren, let Dingfeng also participate in the investment, and make it a Sino-American co-production!"
"Well, I'll arrange it tomorrow..."
At present, Yuehua is not short of funds, there is no shortage of money-making projects, and what is lacking is social effect.
How can you create your own social effect?
Funding some good projects, of course.
These projects have the potential to lose money, but they can't be without word of mouth!
Frankly speaking, among the six projects, Zhang Junsheng really likes only "Sun Tzu from the United States", if this movie works well, it can bring at least tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
β¦β¦
At midnight, the hotel.
Xu Yan leaned on the guardrail of the balcony, staring at Zhang Junsheng who was smoking, and suddenly thought of something: "Have you found it, there are more and more Hollywood sequels, and there are few new themes." β
"Normally, film investment is getting higher and higher, and the risks are getting bigger and bigger, and everyone is reluctant to touch new themes, which is too risky. In contrast, sequels to successful movies have more reliable earnings. β
ββ¦ Is it becoming like that in the country?"
"It's hard to say, not for the time being, the domestic film environment is very serious, and in the current market environment, most people dare not make big investments. β
"Blockbusters don't necessarily prove to be big gains"
"yes, so a lot of companies are on the sidelines! they're looking for a way to save trouble..."
In later generations, this way is big IP + small fresh meat...
Reached out and snatched the cigarette from Zhang Junsheng's hand, took a puff, and then said, "... I'm going back to the U.S. tomorrow. β
"So urgent"
ββ¦ There are a couple of commercials to shoot. β
