Chapter 64: Testing the Film Industry
So for the whole class, Chen Tianliao could feel the strange eyes around him. A pair of young couples in the eyes of their classmates were taken by the exchange students of Xiangjiang, which was a bit weird. And the boy fell in love with Song Shiqing and explained it, after all, Song Shiqing was a school flower in terms of appearance, and with her temperament, there were few middle schools in the entire Sijiu City that could be compared to her. And Chen Tianliao, why can he get the attention of that cute girl?
Chen Tianliao also felt a little awkward, and looked at the girl sitting next to him. The girl nodded to him with a playful smile. Chen Tianliao looked at Song Shiqing, but found that Song Shiqing was also staring at the girl. Chen Tianliao smiled bitterly, simply didn't look over, and listened carefully to the teacher's lecture.
It's easy to get caught when the bell rings for the end of class, Chen Tianliao just wanted to turn his head to talk to Song Shiqing, and the cute girl next to him, Xu Qiaoli, spoke: "Hello, Chen Tianliao." I'm so glad to see your real person! I grew up listening to your songs!"
"Uh......" Chen Tianliao was a little speechless. It's not appropriate to say that, each other are peers. But thinking that she became famous early, she didn't seem to have anything wrong with what she said.
At this time, Song Shiqing also moved the chair next to Chen Tianliao and said, "I also grew up listening to his songs!"
Chen Tianliao rolled his eyes.
Hong Zhong also came over and said to Chen Tianliao: "Although I don't listen to your songs much, I know you, it's amazing." ”
Chen Tianliao smiled unnaturally and said, "Yes, thank you for your love." ”
As she was talking, Zhang Jieying, a round-faced Xiangjiang girl who was deliberately sitting behind Chen Tianliao, handed over a notebook and a pen, and said, "Hello, Chen Tianliao, can you help me sign it? I adore you so much!"
Chen Tianliao took it, turned to the title page, and with a stroke of his pen, wrote his name in traditional Chinese.
"What a beautiful handwriting, I'm so envious! I'm going to sign it too!" Xu Qiaoli said, handing over her notebook. I have to say that the Xiangjiang students who came to exchange this time have obviously been trained in Mandarin, and although they still have a strong Cantonese accent, at least the communication is not a problem. Especially for a delicate girl like Xu Qiaoli, her dialect accent makes her tone a little more coquettish, making her cute image a lot cuter.
Even if Chen Tianliao was nervous in his previous life, he couldn't stand this girl's cute voice, so he hurriedly opened the title page of the book and signed his name again. After signing the name, Chen Tianliao found that Song Shiqing's hands had been on his shoulders for some time, and the pretty face was placed on the back of his hand, and the breath of her nose bounced back slightly from Chen Tianliao's collar, blowing Chen Tianliao's neck a little itchy. When Chen Tianliao turned his head, Song Shiqing's beautiful eyes also happened to look at him. Looking at each other, Song Shiqing squeezed her eyes in the direction of Xu Qiaoli, then opened her rosy lips slightly, and the two rows of white shell teeth closed gently, making a gritted tooth appearance. Hong Zhong saw it on the side, and his expression darkened obviously.
Chen Tianliao shrugged his shoulders, quietly handed the book back to Xu Qiaoli, and said with a smile: "Thank you for liking my songs." Come, let me introduce you to you, this is my sister Song Shiqing. ”
Xu Qiaoli looked at Song Shiqing with a look of amazement and said, "It's so beautiful." Are you really brothers and sisters? Why don't you have different surnames?"
Chen Tianliao said: "Of course, I don't have the same surname. We are not related by blood. It's just that her dad and my mom reunited into a family, so she became my sister. ”
Xu Qiaoli sighed and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not just my sister, right?" As she spoke, her gaze fell on Song Shiqing's head on Chen Tianliao's shoulder. Song Shiqing's pretty face turned red, her eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of her mouth showed a smile, but she didn't leave Chen Tianliao's shoulder to avoid suspicion. Obviously, Xiao Nizi felt the threat of that girl with a completely different temperament from the students in the capital.
Chen Tianliao smiled and reached out to pat Song Shiqing's head, and said, "It's that simple. I didn't think about it so much, I'm still young. And I have too many things, I can't be in love all day long like the students in your youth idol dramas in Xiangjiang. ”
Hong Zhong looked at Chen Tianliao's movements, a little jealous and a little frustrated.
Xu Qiaoli frowned: "You look down on our idol dramas in Xiangjiang?"
Chen Tianliao shook his head and said, "There is no question of looking down on it. It's that it's not to my liking. By the way, all of you who came to the capital this time have very good grades, right?"
Xu Qiaoli said proudly: "Of course. And we have a band in our business!"
"Band?" Chen Tianliao was stunned for a moment.
Xu Qiaoli pointed at Hong Zhong and said, "Oh, that stupid big guy is the drummer of the band." Their band is called Beyond. ”
Chen Tianliao almost fell to the ground: "What do you say is the name of their band?"
"Beyond, beyond. This time, it was the big man Hong Zhong who jumped out and spoke. He was very happy to finally have a chance to speak in front of Song Shiqing. Just as he was about to say a few more words, the class bell rang. He had to return to his seat in frustration.
By noon, Chen Tianliao finally figured out what was going on with the Beyond band. It turned out to be a band organized by a few young boys from this middle school who like to sandwich bands (Cantonese, forming bands) themselves. The name is very loud, to surpass all the predecessors of Xiangjiang, but the reality is very frustrating. They couldn't even enter the top five in the middle school band competition in Xiangjiang, and they had no resemblance to the band that Chen Tianliao liked in his previous life.
Although this band has no achievements in music, it is proud in its acting career. Because the father, the drummer of the band, Hong Zhong, is a director of the Heung Kong New Cinema Company, and the other members of the band are also related to the film industry bigwigs, they have run a trick in many Heung Kong films. When Chen Tianliao heard this, he wanted to discuss with the film industry in Xiangjiang about investing in the film industry.
In the previous life, Xiangjiang Pictures was calculated according to the box office, and this year was the last peak period, although it was still brilliant, but it was slowly declining. Because the development of this world lagged behind the previous life for a period of time, Xiangjiang's film industry was at the peak of glory at this time, but it only showed a slight shadow of decay. It is precisely because it is too brilliant that at this time, all kinds of capital are invested in the film market, and all kinds of films are being made. To a certain extent, this has led to the shoddy production of the film. There are even some actors who have to rush to ten sets a day, where do they have any effort to ponder what acting skills and dig out characters?
The most important thing is that the rush of too many films directly consumed the last inspiration of the screenwriters in Hong Kong. As soon as a lot of inspiration comes along, it's made into a script and then released. Because these inspirations have not been carefully processed, the level of the films made is naturally reduced, and those talented screenwriters easily exhaust their inspirations, and they can't find new inspiration to replenish for a while, resulting in a vicious circle, the creativity of the film is exhausted, and the film is naturally not far from death. In addition, there are not many themes in Xiangjiang movies, martial arts, police and bandits, gods and ghosts, urban light comedies, nonsense, etc., are all played, so naturally there is nothing fun. Since then, the filmmakers of Xiangjiang have been forced to start a new business in the north.
Chen Tianliao will naturally not give up this upcoming good opportunity to buy the bottom. But before that, he had to break into the circle first. And the big man in front of him who has a crush on Song Shiqing is naturally the best entry point. But before that, he also has to understand the current situation of the film industry in the mainland. So he took Song Shiqing to visit Huang Yi.
When I arrived at Huang Yi's house, I knocked on the door, and it was Huang Yi's mother-in-law who opened the door.
"Hello Auntie. Is Sister Yi at home?" asked Chen Tianliao.
"It's Xiao Liao and Xiao Qing, come in. Huang Yi is here. Xiao Yi, Xiao Liao and Xiao Qing are coming for you!"
Chen Tianliao and Song Shiqing took off their shoes at the door at this time, walked barefoot on the cool tiles of the room, and came to the living room. Huang Yi also walked out of the room with his son.
Song Shiqing immediately picked up a bag of jelly in her hand and beckoned to the little guy: "Little Yueyue, come and play with Auntie." Look what Auntie has brought you!"
Xiao Yueyue immediately jumped up, stretched out her hands and said loudly: "I want it! I want it! Aunt Xiaoqing, give it to me, I want it!"
Song Shiqing smiled: "Okay, come here." But first tell Aunt Xiaoqing that you are not well-behaved, you can eat if you are good, and if you are not good, you will not give it!"
Xiao Yueyue hurriedly said: "Yueyue is very well-behaved, very well-behaved. The nursery teacher praised me today!"
Chen Tianliao said to the little guy: "Xiao Yueyue, you haven't called me yet, you are not good." ”
The little guy immediately turned around and said to Chen Tianliao with a smile, "Hello Uncle Xiaoliao!"
Chen Tianliao touched his head with a smile and said, "Well, Yue Yue is good." You can play with Aunt Xiaoqing. Your mom and I are going to get down to business. ”
The little guy cheered, and pounced on the jelly in Song Shiqing's hand.
Chen Tianliao said to Huang Yi: "Sister Yi, with Xiao Yueyue, the family is so lively!"
Huang Yi smiled and said, "It's too lively, it's just a demon king of the mixed world, and the family is restless." By the way, what are you talking about?"
Chen Tianliao said: "That's right, I want to start a film company recently, but I'm not familiar with the current policy, so I'll ask you for advice." ”
Huang Yi smiled: "It's okay for you to ask a lawyer." ”
Chen Tianliao said: "Lawyers only know the law, but they don't know the doorway. ”
Huang Yi nodded and said, "I don't know much. But on weekdays, my friends often talk about it, so I know a little bit about it. But why did you think of opening a film company? You don't make money making movies now. ”
Chen Tianliao said: "I leave all the money making to the game company. Now I'm thinking about spending money. ”
Huang Yi said: "It's not easy to spend money." You can donate two more schools. ”
Chen Tianliao said: "There is no contradiction between donating to a school and opening a film company. Now film is a seriously underrated art form in our country, and if we don't do a good job now, it will be difficult to make up for it in the future. ”
Huang Yi looked at Chen Tianliao and smiled. This guy is sometimes very philistine and very good at making money, but sometimes he is very bold, and he doesn't feel distressed about spending money like running water. He doesn't make money for the sake of making money, but for the sake of realizing his ideals. For example, the establishment of a bursary fund in the country of Japan, the donation of schools in China, and the establishment of a film company now. Huang Yi liked his approach very much.
So Huang Yi began to explain to him his country's policy on films. It turns out that the film industry in this time and space, like the previous life, does not prohibit individuals or non-state-owned companies from making films, the most important thing is that the film must pass the review of the competent authorities, and at present, the distribution of films can only be distributed through state-owned film companies. Therefore, Chen Tianliao's opening a film company is very simple, it is easy to be approved, and the most important thing is to open up distribution channels. However, Huang Yi happens to have an uncle who is the general manager of the Northern Film Company, and it is not difficult to release the film. As for the review, Huang Yi can also take care of the relationship. A few years ago, there was a famous actor who raised money to make several movies by himself, and they were all relatively popular. Chen Tianliao was overjoyed and said, "Sister Yi, why don't you start a film company with me?"
