Chapter 689: Schedule

Regarding Huang Bo's encounter with the crew of "Infernal Affairs", of course, Good Dream Company will not ignore it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The company has a person in charge in Xiangjiang to supervise the filming progress of the crew, and at the same time is responsible for inspecting the general environment of Xiangjiang films, as a reference for future cooperation with Xiangjiang filmmakers.

Specifically, it is to distinguish who can cooperate and who cannot cooperate.

Taking the small circle of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" as an example, the attitude shows everything, and when you encounter the kind of people who have an extremely bad attitude towards mainland actors, you can be dismissed directly.

Personnel with bad attitudes are recorded, and the next one will have nothing to do with them.

This is the crew set up by Liu Dehua, and the filmmakers who have worked with him and are more familiar with him are found.

So far, there has been no excessive incident, but small contradictions have continued.

The current state of the Hong Kong film industry is that a group of people in the upper class are not affected much, and the middle and lower class film practitioners are facing unemployment and career change.

What Lin Zixuan is doing now is combing and clarifying the situation in the Xiangjiang film circle.

After investigation, it is the first step for Good Dream Company to go global by absorbing a group of professional talents of Xiangjiang Film and using Xiangjiang's distribution channels to open up the Asian film market.

The film market in Hong Kong is so sluggish, why do mainland actors want to mix into the Hong Kong circle?

Because of the influence and channels.

As the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, Xiangjiang Film's influence spread throughout Southeast Asia in its heyday, and it even cooperated with Hollywood to invest in films, which was ambitious.

Even if it is declining now, Hong Kong films still have a market in some places and have cultivated a group of loyal fans.

Even in the mainland, the audience still has a nostalgic mood for Hong Kong films, admires Hong Kong stars, and talks about Hong Kong movies endlessly.

This is the brand image that Hong Kong filmmakers have created in 20 years.

There are only two points for mainland actors to mix in the Hong Kong circle, either they can't get along in the mainland, or they want to use the Hong Kong circle to go out of the mainland and enhance their popularity in Asia.

In addition, Heung Kong has mature distribution channels and professional talents.

They can sell films all over the world and are familiar with the operation mode of the film market in Europe and the United States.

Major Hollywood studios have offices and branches in Hong Kong, which is the advantage of an international metropolis.

In Lin Zixuan's view, even if Xiangjiang doesn't make movies in the future, he can use this to support a group of filmmakers.

In fact, it is not yet time to divide up the resources of Xiangjiang films, and Xiangjiang films have not completely fallen, at least from the outside, there are still a group of people supporting them.

The decline of the entire industry is a long-term process.

Lin Zixuan is just doing a little preparation, including talent pool and preparing for his own distribution channel.

He doesn't need to meddle too much, just stand aside and watch quietly, and watch the foundation built by Xiangjiang's film predecessors for 20 years wither little by little.

"Infernal Affairs" is like fireworks at the end of the curtain, gorgeous but short-lived.

In fact, the film has attracted the attention of the media and filmmakers in Hong Kong since the day of preparation.

First of all, the investment, the investment of more than 20 million yuan belongs to large-scale productions, and it comes from the mainland.

Hong Kong media and filmmakers have had mixed reactions.

Some people think that this is an invasion of the film industry by mainland capital, and we must be vigilant, not to mention that the reputation of Good Dream Company in Xiangjiang is not very good.

Some people think that since the mainland film companies are so rich, it is better to get a script and cheat some money to spend.

Anyway, mainlanders don't understand movies, it's not that they say what they say, and it doesn't matter if it is made into a bad movie in the end, the mainlanders' money will run away if they get a vote.

There are also people who really want to cooperate in making movies, but they can't find funds in Xiangjiang, so they have to turn to the mainland.

Especially after the news that Good Dream Company invested 800 million yuan to cooperate with British film companies, these people became more active, and in their opinion, mainlanders are not bad for money.

Yu Dong was welcomed in Xiangjiang, and he was regarded by them as the God of Wealth.

However, Good Dream Company has a strict review process, not that you can get funds by writing an outline with a script, and the name of a Xiangjiang filmmaker is not easy to use here in Lin Zixuan.

The second is the actors.

Heung Kong Media used the word "fire tree and silver flower" to describe the cast of "Infernal Affairs", a super combination of Lau Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng.

Among them, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are working together for the first time in ten years.

There is also the joining of the young generation of actors in Hong Kong, as well as a group of golden supporting roles that often appear in Hong Kong films.

The remuneration of these actors alone is more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars, how can they not attract great attention from the media.

Finally, there is the story, the story of "Infernal Affairs" is not kept secret, and gang films are the most important genre films in Xiangjiang, but it has been difficult to make new ideas in recent years.

The Crazy Boy series has been popular for a while.

Everyone was shooting the old boys, and a group of young people were holding machetes and fighting and killing on the street.

The Heung Kong film industry's follow-up and shoddy production ruined the series, and the audience lost seriously, but the influence of gang movies in the minds of fans has not been erased.

In addition to the entertainment elements and the brotherhood in the gang film, there is something profound about the story of "Infernal Affairs".

It is not a commercial film in the traditional sense, and because of this, even with so many stars starring, some media and filmmakers are still not optimistic about this film.

Before the movie is released, no one knows whether it will be a profit or a loss.

Yu Dong returned to the capital and chatted with Lin Zixuan about this trip to Xiangjiang and talked about his feelings.

"Since they think that we are stupid and easy to cheat, we will take the opportunity to pretend to be stupid, but we just don't pay for it and play with them. Lin Zixuan said with a smile, "The release of "Infernal Affairs" in Xiangjiang still needs the support of Xiangjiang filmmakers, so let's deal with them first." ”

"Some people are not optimistic about this film and think that it is possible to lose a lot of money. Yu Dong reminded.

From a box office perspective, it is.

With an investment of HK$25 million, plus later publicity costs, at least $80 million will be paid off at the box office.

"Find a way to let the movie be released in the mainland, it doesn't matter how the Film Bureau makes it change, we will fully cooperate. Lin Zixuan decided.

"In this way, the schedule is not easy to arrange, and if we can't do it, we have to fight ourselves. Yu Dong thought about it.

The three films "Hero", "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" and "Infernal Affairs" are all concentrated in the second half of the year.

Among them, "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" is scheduled to premiere around Christmas, China and the United Kingdom at the same time, with the support of the General Administration, there is no need to worry about scheduling films.

"Hero" was placed in the Spring Festival file, leaving enough time for Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen.

"Infernal Affairs" only has eleven schedules left, which is not the best schedule, but there is really no way, you can't always invest in the movie in the ring.

"Then let's go to the National Day schedule, let the propaganda department prepare early, the time has come to test them, and we will continue to fight piracy. Lin Zixuan said.
