In Han Sanping's office, the conversation continued.

"Why can't the main theme movie develop and the audience doesn't like to watch it?"

Han Sanping asked this question, Du An hesitated whether to speak, he had already taken the words himself, "I think there is something wrong with our creative direction, but what should the right direction be? I have been unclear until I saw your recent movie released a few days ago, "One Flew Over the Asylum", and I feel that I have finally found the problem. ”

Duane didn't know whether to cry or laugh: it turned out to be "One Flew Over the Asylum" that made Han Sanping find him.

Milk-milk, it's not very profitable, and it causes so much trouble, I wouldn't have made this movie if I knew it.

As for why Han Sanping has to make a movie with the main theme, he can also understand that China Film has a state-owned background in it and is inextricably linked with the government, and it is also necessary for the political task to make some propaganda films in this regard, and it is incumbent on him.

"You're very talented. ”

Du An saw Han Sanping looking at him appreciatively.

"I've also heard of your remarks, you said that "One Flew Over the Asylum" is a commercial film, but in fact, we all know in our hearts that this is a literary film, but this literary film is unconventional, and the box office is surprisingly high, which is unbelievable. ”

"I studied your "One Flew Over the Asylum" and found that its core is a literary film, but the story framework is the same as that of a commercial film, so I was able to create such a result, and then I thought of our main theme movie. In fact, I looked back and found that although I hadn't thought about it before, I had been doing it in this direction, and your "One Flew Over the Asylum" further verified that this direction was correct, so the problem came. ”

"Since we have always been in the right direction, why can't we do a good job of the main theme movie?"

Du An saw Han Sanping's eyes shining at him, even though he knew what he should say now, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of setting himself on fire.

But he didn't say it, Han Sanping could say it himself.

I saw him slap his thigh, pointed at Duane and said, "It's just that there is a lack of a talented director like you!"

Du An said repeatedly: "Third master, you have won the award, I am a junior, I am still a newcomer in the circle, Director Zhang, Director Chen, Director Feng, and Director Feng are much better than me." ”

He was throwing the pot out as much as he could: no way, there is no precedent for the main theme movie to be outstanding at the box office, whoever gets involved in this thing is waiting to lose money. And he has already made up his mind to wait until "The Terminator" is down, and then he will give himself a good vacation and do something of his own, if he agrees to Han Sanping now, his rare vacation will be gone, and he will be stuck in the filming work day and night.

Hearing Du An's words, Han Sanping shook his head again and again, "You don't know as much about these people as I do, how many years have I dealt with them? It's okay for these people to play comedy, commercial films and art films, but if they want to play the main theme movie well? ”

These are the top directors in the mainland, but they were denied by Han Sanping at once, and Du An's goal had to be extended and found elsewhere.

"What about Xiangjiang, Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, Wu Yusen or something. ”

Han Sanping still shook his head, "There are no outsiders here, I'll say something unkind." Those directors in Xiangjiang grew up in a small place, and you also know the history of that place in Xiangjiang, these people have limited vision, and it is okay to shoot some market life and the joys, sorrows and sorrows of small citizens, but at the level of the country, they simply do not have this kind of height, and they can't shoot this kind of taste. ”

Duane had no choice but to continue to make amends, "What about Taiwan?"

Han Sanping was amused, "You asked me to find a director in Taiwan to make our main theme movie?"

Duane realized how stupid his question was, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Moreover, how many directors are there in Taiwan that can be counted now? So, I calculated, it's only you, "One Flew Over the Asylum" proves that you have the ability to play the main theme movie well, shoot it wonderfully, and make the audience love to watch it!"

Being able to sit in this position, Han Sanping is not a fool, and naturally he can see that Du An's reluctance to make the main theme movie is a little repulsive, so he temporarily put down his words of persuasion and started from other aspects.

"Xiao Du, as you know, our country is now developing rapidly, entering the WTO, successfully bidding for the Olympic Games, and constantly improving its economic strength, it is the time for vigorous development, but the international status is still in a very embarrassing position,"

Han Sanping picked up the cup again and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said: "A country's international status is determined by many factors, such as economy, military, culture, and so on. We won't talk about other aspects, it has nothing to do with us, and it can't help, but the cultural field is closely related to us, and it is what we are good at. ”

Duane hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean...... Cultural invasion?"

Han Sanping waved his hand, "The word you used is inappropriate, now is an era of peace, what invasion is not an invasion? Our China has been a country of etiquette and friendship since ancient times, advocating harmony as the precious, what we want to do now is not a cultural invasion, but just to make the main theme of the movie, so that people all over the world can re-understand China and enhance our country's international status in the eyes of the people of the world." Xiao Du, as the old saying goes, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband. ”

Du An's understanding of what Han Sanping meant: he wants to make a Chinese propaganda film, and it is the kind of film that can earn a lot of box office in the world, and let audiences around the world spontaneously pay out of their pockets to watch this Chinese image propaganda film.

In this way, the scope has been expanded a lot, and the difficulty has been reduced a bit.

Moreover, Han Sanping has raised the problem to the perspective of national honor, if he continues to shirk, it will be as if he is unpatriotic, so Du An has to start thinking about some problems in this regard.

Han Sanping looked at Du An and began to throw out some of his conditions: "I also know that it is still difficult to make such a movie well and make the audience like to watch it, so I will also provide you with some help." ”

"The production force of our Zhongying is still relatively strong, as for me personally, I have been mixed in the circle for some years, and I know a lot of people, if you take over this project, don't say anything else, who do you want to speak directly. Mainland, Xiangjiang, Taiwan, I can basically find you whoever you want, and you don't have to be afraid of finding no one in terms of actors. ”

When Du An heard Han Sanping say this, he immediately felt what a big guy is, this is called a big guy!

When I think he is filming, I won't talk about "Chainsaw", when I was filming "Pretty Woman", I looked for a heroine for a while, and the actor couldn't find it, so I had to go on it myself. When it came to "The Terminator" and "One Flew Over the Asylum", it was a little better, but it was still quite difficult, for example, he originally wanted to find Zhou Runfa to play "One Flew Over the Asylum", but people didn't like him at all.

And Han Sanping directly said, "Anyone can find it."

He didn't doubt at all whether Han Sanping was talking big, because with Han Sanping's status in the circle, he did have such ability.

Han Sanping continued to throw out the conditions: "The film in this movie must be funded, but if you want to enter the game, you can also bring funds to enter the game, and in terms of specific profit distribution, I can give you some discounts." ”

Han Sanping is blatantly tempting him with profits.

And Duane was really moved.

With the help of China Film and Han Sanping, if he is the next in this project, he will hardly think about making zuò: the power of Zhongying's production is not comparable to the current DreamWorks, and in terms of actors, with Han Sanping's appearance, basically he can come whoever he wants, and finally he can no longer be restricted by actors, and he can show his strength.

In addition, in terms of distribution, China Film's distribution power is obviously not comparable to DreamWorks. Whether it is domestic or overseas, China Film's distribution force is basically the first in China, and when the film is released, it can spread a large stall and maximize the potential of a movie.

Also, if he takes over this project, no matter what the results are, it can be regarded as catching the line of China Film and Han Sanping, which will be beneficial to the development of Industrial Light and Magic and DreamWorks in the future.

In the end, it's about profits.

According to Han Sanping's conditions, China Film obviously intends to take more risks, and at the same time give up more benefits, which means that it is a bit of a price reduction and a big sale, which means making money at a loss, which is very good news for Duane.

Political-political tasks kill people......

Du Anxin sighed with emotion, thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, since you have talked about this, Third Master, it will be too ignorant if I don't agree, and I will take this project. ”

Du An saw the smile on Han Sanping's face even bigger, and immediately said, "But there are a few things I want to confirm." ”

"You say. ”

"First, can I write the script for this movie?"

Han Sanping immediately agreed to this condition, "Yes, but if it's the main theme movie." ”

"My second point is also related to your request,"

"I've seen some movies about this, but I don't think they're going to shoot in the direction I want, and I plan to blur the concept of specific characters and go straight to the national level, for example, the concept of the chairman's heroic image, China is the center of the world, and so on, I believe this is good for the promotion of our national image." ”

When Han Sanping heard this, he looked at him for a while, and smiled, "Xiao Du, are you still quite politically conscious? This is not a problem, you can shoot like this." ”

The chairman is originally the head of a country, the image representative of the country, and the movie that praises the chairman is naturally the main theme movie.

Han Sanping almost didn't say that Du An's sycophant shot made him admire, and at the same time, he was also very impressed by Du An's thinking: he was not mistaken, this young director really thinks very differently from ordinary people, and it seems that he doesn't plan to follow the old ways to shoot at all.

But that's what he wants, and only by seeking new can there be a way out.

Just as he was appreciating, Du An's third condition made Han Sanping stunned.

"Third, I'm going to blow something up in the movie,"

Duane said as lightly as he could: "Central-South-Sea or something." ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately added: "Of course, it's not really fried, it's just synthesized with computer special effects in the later stage, but I want to make sure that these pictures can appear on the movie, I don't know if I can allow it."
