Chen Dong always felt that Brother Kai's director was not authentic, and he filmed "Thorn Qin" a box office fiasco, and then he didn't want to see Zhang Yimou succeed...

In those years, a group of big directors seemed to be on the bar with the Qin Dynasty, Lao Chen filmed "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin", and Zhou Xiaowen drummed up "Song of Qin", which should have been influenced by Cheng Xiaodong, who let him shoot "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" first, and let Lao Mouzi and Gong Li applaud in the movie, the key box office is not bad, the box office results of 21 million Hong Kong are ranked fifth in the annual box office of Hong Kong that year...

It is Gong Li's best box office in Hong Kong except for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

In fact, "Assassin Qin" dealt a blow to Lao Chen far more than his last movie "Fengyue"...

The reputation of "Fengyue" is okay, although the box office is not good, there are still a bunch of film critics to help applaud!

"Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" is directly Waterloo, which is a movie made by RB Investment Company.

After the box office fiasco in the mainland, he re-edited it according to the producer's opinion, and then RB sold 1.4 billion yen...

This...

For commercial film directors, they may still feel happy that they didn't let the producer lose money, but this is no longer his movie...

Lao Chen seems to have lost his backbone all of a sudden, his confidence has been shaken, and the "film philosophical thinking" on which he depends must give way to the "logic of commercial films".

From the box office to word of mouth, it's a mess!

It even directly affected the filming plan of "A Tale of Two Cities" that he talked about with Mel Gibson!

At that time, Mel Gibson spent several months in Beijing, talking to Chen Kaige about "A Tale of Two Cities" every day...

"A Tale of Two Cities" is the work of the great British writer Charles Dickens, if Chen Kaige can take over the filming, his status can definitely be taken to the next level...

Unfortunately, this shooting plan was ultimately aborted, not only because the investors did not trust it, but also Mel Gibson...

People are really social creatures, and as soon as everyone labels them, they kidnap themselves.

Director Kai Ge estimates that it will be difficult to reproduce the glory of "Farewell My Concubine" in his life...

Times have changed!

They want their works to be artistic and successful at the box office, but they don't have the ability to balance art films and commercial films.

At this point, Lao Mouzi is much more awesome than him...

He said that he wanted to make a commercial film, and he completely abandoned the honor he had accumulated over the years!

But, no matter what, it is our honor to live with these masters!

……

The casting of "Blood Romance" is gradually over, Chen Dong didn't ask, but just recommended his classmates to audition, as for who can get the role, it depends on his ability.

According to the current progress, filming will start in December.

After nearly half a month's break, Chen Dong simply returned to Xi'an.

I haven't seen my dad and mom in a while...

Dafeng Film and Television.

Zhong Lifang found Chen Yun: "Sister Yun, the situation is a little wrong!"

“… What's wrong?"

"There is a problem in Guangzhou, and several financing parties that have been negotiated before have withdrawn!"

"Divestment? Why?"

Chen Yun put down the documents in his hand, and his eyes became serious.

"I don't know, but I contacted the middleman over there, and he said that there has been a plague in Guangzhou recently!"

Chen Yun was speechless: "... , it's really a plague, and the country won't care?"

"It's true!

“… Sas?"

"Yes, it's said to be a pneumonia!"

It is true that in early November, rumors appeared among the people of Guangdong about a deadly strange disease, and even said that in some hospitals there were patients who died in large numbers because of this strange disease.

This strange disease is SARS!

However, Chen Yun didn't pay much attention to it, after all, she was not a reborn person, and she didn't understand the horror of this thing, but comforted Zhong Lifang: "It's okay, Guangdong is far away!"

Zhong Lifang sneered...

She also felt that she was a little worried, and then the two talked about the release of "Uniform"...

As for the divestment, it is not a big deal, those companies took the initiative to get together, and it did not affect the company's capital chain.

……

The West Film Studio has been relocated, and the label of the West Film Studio in the early years has long been changed.

The year before last, West Film Studio, together with Shanghai Xicheng Industrial Co., Ltd., Xi'an Tianhui Information Co., Ltd. and other 8 enterprises, established the first joint-stock production enterprise in China's film industry - West Film Co., Ltd.

Chen Dong's father, Chen Jianguo, is a special person!

At the beginning, the efficiency of the Western Film Studio was not good, and when he laid off employees, he did not collect the salary for buying out the seniority, but took the initiative to leave according to Yan Yiyun's suggestion.

After that, I opened a DVD video store ...

Perhaps this is the last contribution of the older generation of workers to the factory...

He was the first worker in the entire Western Film Studio to voluntarily resign, and because he took the lead, a bunch of uncles and aunts followed suit...

In that chaotic era, his approach benefited Western Film Studios.

Voluntary resignation saves tens of thousands of buyout wages from the factory...

This estimate is the reason why Chen Yun was promoted quickly, and it is also the reason why Chen Dong has been taken care of by the connections of the Western Film Studio...

When Chen Dong was a junior, director Feng Xiaoning once invited him to shoot "Purple Sun", but he felt that he was not capable of acting well, so he took the initiative to resign...

In his senior year, director Fan Jianhui invited him to shoot "The Legend of Half Bowl Village", and he also took the initiative to refuse...

These two directors are both contracted directors of the original Western Film Studio!

Life is like this a lot of times, and it seems that I have suffered a loss, but I don't know if I am blessed...

Chen Dong took out "Uniform" from the video store and prepared to go back to the room to take a look, after all, it was a work produced by his own company!

By the way, I asked my father, who was still chatting with a few guests: "Dad, is this disc genuine?"

“… I don't know, I'll get in for five dollars!"

“…”

Speechless, five dollars a piece...

Your piracy price is too expensive!

It's clear that it's for those uncles!

Profiteer!

Sure enough, the uncle who was renting the disc turned his head and asked, "What's the five yuan a piece?"

"Oh, it's a movie, an award-winning work at the Venice International Film Festival, called "Uniform"!"

Chen Dong smiled and handed the disc in his hand to the uncle...

The cover of "Uniform" is actually a close-up of the male protagonist in a police uniform sweeping the red light district - a girl in simple clothes is sitting on the lap of a guest, probably wanting him to help weigh herself...

It makes people think about it when they see it...

“… Venice?"

"The Italian film festival, Zhang Yimou made his career in that area, by the way, I heard that this film has a very large scale, and it seems to have a restricted plot!"

“… What do you mean by a restricted level?"

"It's a third-grade film!"

Daddy is very powerful, and he is a genius...

"Then you should take it back and criticize it!"

"Yes, criticize!"

So, the uncles each bought a disc, and walked out of the shop with a resolute expression on their faces that were about to rebel against the vulgar.

Dad showed a triumphant smile: "Hehe, these discs have earned at least a dozen yuan!"

"Ah, a dozen dollars, how much does it cost?"

"One by one..."

One piece by one, no wonder movie tickets can't be sold!

"Dad, this movie was made by my sister and their company, and it cost more than one million!"
