Jiang Zhiqiang came to the capital to follow up the filming progress of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared to the difficulties he had when he first started fundraising, he is now much more relaxed.

The film's trailer and Li Yu's fame have attracted many European and American film companies, including Sony and Warner in the United States.

Sony Classics has been identified as the distributor of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in North America, and Warner Pictures has purchased the rights to the film in France at its French branch.

The two studios paid a total of $6 million.

Columbia Asia Pictures assisted in the distribution of the film in Asia, and the rights to the screening in other countries are being negotiated.

As long as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be delivered smoothly, there is no problem in recovering the cost, and how much you can earn depends on other income.

In addition to the exhibition rights, there are also video cassette rights, TV broadcast rights, and box office rights.

These can be talked about slowly, the greater the follow-up influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the higher the price of various copyrights.

Jiang Zhiqiang no longer worries about the bank's $7 million loan, and the movie has not been overspent so far, it is all within the budget, which is good news.

Lin Zixuan invited the crew to have a meal, and at the same time to ease the atmosphere.

After several months of arduous location shooting, there were cooperation and contradictions between the Xiangjiang staff and the mainland staff in the crew, and it was inevitable to do things together and quarrel.

The accumulated grievances are not small, and they need to be vented and appeased.

It just so happened that Jiang Zhiqiang was also there, and they worked together to resolve the contradiction and strive for the smooth completion of the filming.

During the meal, a trailer of the film was played, which was the scene shot by the crew in Tianshan at the beginning.

Seeing the scene in the film, thinking of the hardships of the past six months, many people's eyes were red and sighed.

After the film ended, the people present felt that no matter what contradictions, this film was completed by them together.

Some people pick up their wine glasses and ask acquaintances to drink, and drinking is a way for Chinese people to express their feelings.

Talking about things and making friends is mostly done at the wine table, and if you drink too much and talk about it, you won't have a knot.

It's also easy to make trouble when drinking, but with Lin Zixuan and Jiang Zhiqiang here, they are not afraid of making things bigger.

The atmosphere at the scene was warm, this was a rare time to rest, and after the movie was finished in a month, everyone was going their separate ways.

"Warner's branch in France has contacted the Festival de Cannes, and our film will be exhibited at the Festival de Cannes in May next year, which will be the first stop for the promotion of the film. Jiang Zhiqiang introduced.

Participation in the film festival is only to screen the film at the film festival, and does not participate in the main competition unit of the film festival.

The Cannes Film Festival in France has studios from all over the world, and it is a good starting point to put the debut of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in Cannes.

"I only have four months to do the post-production, and I don't know if it's too late. Li Yu said worriedly.

The film will be completed in December and delivered in April next year, which is four months excluding holidays.

If it is an ordinary feature film, post-production can be completed in a month or two, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" requires a lot of special effects, at least to erase all the steel wires on the film, which is a meticulous work.

This kind of special effects can be done in Xiangjiang, and there is no need to go to Hollywood, where the price is several times that of Xiangjiang.

For the post-production special effects, recording, soundtrack and editing, Li Yu had to run around the mainland, Hong Kong and New York.

Besides, a good movie has to be polished slowly and keep improving, Li Yu feels that four months is a bit short.

"Mr. Lin, this cooperation is very pleasant, and I hope to cooperate next time. Jiang Zhiqiang said politely.

He has often come to the mainland this year, and has a deeper understanding of the mainland film market, compared with the recession of the Hong Kong film market, there are more opportunities in the mainland, and Lin Zixuan is a good partner.

Judging from the reactions of European and American filmmakers, they are not small in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Among them, Li Yu's fame played a certain role.

Jiang Zhiqiang considered that once "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" entered the European and American markets, there would be a problem of shooting a sequel, and as a producer, he could not only consider this film.

However, the adaptation rights of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are in the hands of Lin Zixuan, and the filming of the sequel can only cooperate with Lin Zixuan.

"There is a chance. Lin Zixuan responded.

"If this film can be a big hit, has Mr. Lin thought about making a sequel?" Jiang Zhiqiang said tentatively.

"I have to ask Director Li Yu if he has a schedule, and I don't feel at ease if this drama is handed over to other directors. Lin Zixuan said.

These words expressed trust in Li Yu and also avoided the issue of filming a sequel.

The topic of sequels is too early to talk about now, and it will take a few years to wait until the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is fully revealed, and then Lin Zixuan will have more options.

As for the director, it's just a matter of saying that, if Li Yu doesn't want to direct, Lin Zixuan will naturally find someone else to take over.

"I don't think about the sequel now, I'm lucky to be able to finish this film. Li Yan said with emotion, "I haven't made a martial arts film and I don't know the hardships, but I have a deep understanding this time." ”

Li Yu really worked hard for this movie.

It is said that after filming the scene of Li Mubai's death, Li Yu left the studio and cried.

From this point of view, Li Yu's success is not a fluke.

By extension, in any industry, only by investing in it can it be possible to succeed.

Huang Bo entered the crew of the sequel to "Desire", he didn't have many scenes, and he could finish filming in two days.

After signing a contract with Haomeng Company, he became a professional actor, and he could receive a basic living allowance of 3,000 yuan from the company every month, and the salary for acting would be settled separately.

This income can't be compared with his singing in the song hall, but Huang Bo is more satisfied.

A professional actor means that you don't have to squat at the door of a film studio or film and television base waiting for the crew to choose, you don't have to get a relationship with the leader of a group performance in order to get a small role, and you don't have to endure the contemptuous eyes of others.

"I'm a contracted actor of Good Dreams. ”

When he introduced himself, he could straighten his waist and say this sentence, Haomeng Company has a lot of influence in the domestic film and television industry, and this title alone is worthy of the attention of those crews.

However, whether or not it can be recognized still requires its own efforts.

Huang Bo's first play when he joined the Good Dream Company was the sequel to the much-talked-about "Desire", and this time he performed in his true colors.

After singing in a song hall for so many years, it was not difficult for him to play a resident singer, but he was a person who was strict with himself, and he did a role analysis.

Resident singers also have lives, and there are several types of resident singers in the song hall.

One is an old fritter begging for a living, like him, a young man with ideals who has just entered the ranks of resident singers, and the other is a rich kid who likes music who comes to play tickets.

These types of people must be in different states when singing, and Huang Bo wants to ask the director what type of resident singer he wants. (To be continued.) )
