Chapter 709: Cooperation

In a conference room in the creative department of Good Dreams, a discussion on "Soldier Assault" is underway. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Attendees included directors, screenwriters, several key actors, consultants from Bayi Film Studio, and stage directors from the Beijing Drama Theater.

This drama was filmed in cooperation with Bayi Factory.

Bayi Film Studio is a well-established film studio in China, mainly producing film and television dramas with war and military themes.

In China, if you want to make this type of film and television drama, you need to cooperate with relevant departments.

For example, Bayi Film Factory, Kongzheng Television Art Center and Jindun Film and Television Center under the Ministry of Public Security.

On the one hand, cooperating with these units makes the script more realistic, highlighting the main theme and propaganda role.

On the other hand, it is also for the review needs, they are not responsible for the review, but they are familiar with the know-how of the review and make valuable suggestions, which is the role of the consultant.

Bayi Factory can also provide military camps as shooting locations and various costume props.

As for the stage direction of the Beijing Drama Theater, it is because "Soldier Assault" adopts a combination of drama and TV series, rehearsing the drama first, and then filming the TV series.

After the TV series is broadcast, the drama will continue to be performed, and a movie version will be made in the future.

It's a new attempt at the interaction of various art forms.

Using drama as the basis to polish the script and actors, and then using film and television dramas to drive the drama market, this interaction has the potential to bring a win-win situation.

Good Dream Company has never done a drama, this time it is cooperating with the Beijing Drama Theater.

The drama market has been sluggish in recent years, partly because of the impact of film and television dramas.

The main source of income for drama performances in theaters is the sale of tickets, and there is no advertising sponsorship, and the loss of audiences is serious, resulting in a depression in the drama market.

Art is elegant, and you can't play without money.

Due to the lack of funds, the Beijing Drama Theater rehearses fewer and fewer big plays every year, and has no energy to create new plays.

If drama wants to get out of the predicament, it needs to be open-minded, linked to the film and television industry, pay attention to publicity, use the appeal of stars to attract audiences, and constantly bring forth the new.

The combination of art and commerce is the mainstream of this era.

In this play, Wang Baoqiang plays Xu Sanduo, Huang Xiaoming plays Chengcai, Xu Sanduo's fellow countryman, the squad leader of the fifth class, Xia Yu plays Shi Jin, the squad leader of the third class, Chen Kun plays Wu Liuyi, the deputy squad leader of the third class, and Zhang Hanyu plays Yuan Lang, the squadron leader of the brigade.

Huang Bo only made a cameo appearance in the TV series because of the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" and his appearance in the sequel to "Infernal Affairs".

This is the lineup of young actors from Good Dreams.

Zhang Hanyu and Xia Yu graduated from the Beijing Drama Academy, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and only Wang Baoqiang was not from a professional class.

Actors with professional backgrounds have experience in performing dramas in school, and can rehearse graduation plays.

It's just that there aren't many opportunities to perform in theaters.

The stage director from the Beijing Drama Theater believes that professional drama actors should be used, and the performance form of drama and film and television drama is different, and once you stand on the stage, you are not allowed to make mistakes.

Moreover, the drama is composed of drama fragments, which are carried out in leaps and bounds, which is different from the continuity of the TV series.

He is only responsible for making suggestions, and the decision is in the hands of Good Dreams.

At the beginning, the rehearsal of the drama must have used the company's actors, and after the TV series is broadcast, these actors probably will not have time to perform the drama, and then the drama will be handed over to the Beijing Drama Theater to operate.

In fact, except for Wang Baoqiang, the other actors are very busy and have filming.

But "Soldier Assault" is a TV series that the company focuses on, and even if you are busy, you have to participate.

"I know that you are busy, everyone arrange the time, rehearse in October, and strive to perform in the army before the year, this is a condolence performance. The director arranged, "The film will start in March next year, and you will be ready to train in the barracks for a month to train some soldiers." ”

At the beginning of August, "Infernal Affairs" was completed and entered post-production.

The promotion of the film in Hong Kong was in full swing, with an investment of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and a number of posters were designed to appear on subway stations and buses.

Two television stations in Hong Kong regularly broadcast three-minute film trailers, which can be seen by the whole Hong Kong people.

There are three kinds of posters, one is the two-person duel between Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and the other is the appearance of the four major actors at the same time.

There is also a poster of five people, with Huang Bo added.

With Huang Bo's current popularity, he has a certain box office appeal, not to mention that he is still the only mainland actor, and Haomeng Company will definitely make a poster with Huang Bo.

After "Shaolin Football" won a high box office of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong filmmakers temporarily restored confidence in the market, believing that this is a sign of market recovery.

The Hong Kong audience did not abandon them.

They hope that Infernal Affairs will continue to make persistent efforts to create good results, increase the confidence of investors and revitalize the market.

Coupled with Liu Dehua's 20 years of connections in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, many stars have promoted the film.

At the end of September, "Infernal Affairs" will hold its premiere at the Good Dream Cinema in Hong Kong.

This theater is a movie theater acquired by Good Dream Company, which costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and belongs to Good Dream Cinema Line.

After an interior remodel, it was renovated and officially opened in time for the premiere of "Infernal Affairs".

The operation of cinemas in Xiangjiang is more relaxed than that in the mainland, as long as the theaters meet the screening conditions and have no bad records, they can get a business license, but the subsequent operation is not easy.

Xiangjiang is a highly competitive business society, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the company should keep a low profile.

The promotion of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland is ready, but it has not yet started.

Although Lin Zixuan is confident, he must wait for the film to pass the review before he can publicize it with great fanfare, otherwise he will be suspected of false publicity.

When interviewed by reporters, he could only vaguely say that there was hope for a release in the mainland, and he was striving for it.

In fact, because "Infernal Affairs" involves gang themes and has the four major actors of Xiangjiang starring, it has long become a hot spot in the media, and publicity only plays a role in icing on the cake.

After more than half a month of post-production, the mainland version of "Infernal Affairs" came out.

The mainland version cuts the gang fight, uses a hint of the scene of the policeman's death, and there is no direct shot, which increases Huang Bo's scene, and the ending of the film, Liu Dehua, was arrested because he was reported.

The Good Dream Company sent the film to the General Administration, and the General Administration attached great importance to it.

The entertainment media and filmmakers in Hong Kong are all staring at this matter, and they want to know the attitude of the mainland film bureau and what kind of films can be released in the mainland.

Police and gang films are one of the mainstream of Xiangjiang films, and if "Infernal Affairs" can be released in the mainland, it will represent a new way out for Xiangjiang's police and gangster films.

After the review of the Film Commission, "Infernal Affairs" obtained a public screening license from the Film Bureau.

The Film Bureau is sending a signal to the Hong Kong film industry that the mainland has its own practices, and those who do not cooperate will be banned, and those who cooperate will be allowed to do so.
