Chapter 599: Tacit
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang went to see Jiang Wen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before the two of them could comfort Jiang Wen, they were pulled by Jiang Wen to chat about the script of "Hero", and complained about the entire book, which seemed to be completely unaffected.
"The newspaper is saying that you are a drama bully, aren't you just a live drama bully? Feng Xiaogang teased.
"It's your book that has a problem.,Let's just say this assassin.,It's a very powerful appearance in front.,When you really do it.,It's withered by someone who said it in a word.。 Jiang Wen said dissatisfiedly, "It's still peaceful, is it interesting to make it like this?"
"I don't understand, this is called following the trend of the times. Feng Xiaogang said calmly, "The kind of revenge for personal revenge and hatred of the family and country in martial arts films in the past are outdated, this is an era of peace, we must talk about peace, and we must sublimate the pattern of martial arts films." ”
"Why do you feel so awkward when you say this in a vulgar comedy?" Jiang Wen said sarcastically.
"Li Yu can make martial arts films into romance films, what's wrong with me making world peace?" Feng Xiaogang retorted.
"People are big Hollywood directors, you are a blind imitation. Jiang Wen said unceremoniously.
The two are used to arguing like this, and they don't bury each other when they meet, and they feel uncomfortable.
Feng Xiaogang only spoke like this in front of acquaintances, and Jiang Wen also spoke like this on other occasions, and the result was that Feng Xiaogang's popularity in the circle was better than Jiang Wen's.
In fact, neither of them has a good temper.
Jiang Wen felt that the role of the assassin should be more public, this assassin was not an assassin in the ordinary sense of the word, but an assassin who wanted to assassinate the emperor.
The assassins on the rivers and lakes are secretive and live in darkness without seeing the sun.
The assassins in "Heroes" are in troubled times, so they can't be considered assassins, but heroes and heroes.
To be bloody, heroic, and not afraid of life and death, such a person must have a flamboyant personality and cannot be restrained.
Jiang Wen said that the publicity is not the superficial publicity, but the inner publicity, the superficial publicity is impetuous, and the inner publicity is calm and introverted.
Through eyes, movements, and words, the inner openness is expressed.
Don't take the secular emperor in your eyes, dare to be angry, and splash blood in five steps, isn't this publicity?
"Let's make this a commercial film, why are you making it so deep, and you don't want to win the best actor, and then you can play it well?" Feng Xiaogang doubted.
"If I say this, I can act it. Jiang Wen responded.
"Alright, that's it. Feng Xiaogang took the opportunity to say.
Feng Xiaogang has no doubt about Jiang Wen's acting skills, just to provoke and make a joke.
Jiang Wen knew in his heart that when he was banned from directing movies, he could only act for the next five years.
Lin Zixuan asked him to star in this big production at this time, taking a lot of risks, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was a bit against the General Administration.
Jiang Wen was just banned by the General Bureau, so you asked him to act, which is hard to say.
Moreover, he has been friends with Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang for many years, and he has a lot of freedom and comfort when filming, and he doesn't need to pay attention to rumors from the outside world.
If you cooperate with other unfamiliar directors, I'm afraid you will have trouble again.
After filming this drama, the turmoil of being banned has long passed, which is equivalent to providing Jiang Wen with a safe haven.
The three of them know it in their hearts, but there is no need to say it, and the matter between friends can be tacitly understood.
Lin Zixuan asked Jiang Wen to act, and another reason was to give full play to Jiang Wen's directing ability.
Feng Xiaogang is used to making commercial comedies, and the pattern is a bit small, and with Jiang Wen's participation, he can raise the pattern.
In other words, Feng Xiaogang is in charge of the commercial part of "Hero", and Jiang Wen is in charge of the artistic part of "Hero".
Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen were the best combination he could think of, and what the two of them came up with must not be too bad.
Just like when filming "Beijing People in New York", the two worked together to achieve a balance between business and art.
Eight years ago, they took $1.2 million borrowed from a bank to New York, USA, to produce the first domestic TV series that was filmed abroad.
It has set a lot of firsts in the TV industry.
Eight years later, they reunited and invested $20 million to create a domestic commercial martial arts blockbuster.
Unlike eight years ago, they are now standing at the top of this circle with a calm mentality.
Lin Zixuan remembers that after repaying the bank loan, he relaxed physically and mentally and went home and got sick, and now he talks about the investment of 20 million US dollars without much pressure.
Over the years, he has changed a lot.
On June 6, 2000, the State Administration issued a document entitled "Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry".
This is a document that has been approved by the leading comrades of the state and the Central Propaganda Department.
Among them, the most important points are the establishment of enterprise groups in the film industry, the trial implementation of the joint-stock system, the active promotion of the cinema system, the promotion of the diversification of business methods, and the expansion of opening up and cooperation.
This document is in response to the development of the film industry after China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
According to the agreement signed between China and the United States, after China joins the WTO, China will produce no less than 20 foreign films each year.
Since the introduction of 10 foreign blockbusters every year in '94, the proportion of domestic films at the box office has shrunk rapidly, and Hollywood blockbusters account for more than 50 percent of the domestic box office every year.
If 20 Hollywood blockbusters are introduced a year, is there still a foothold for domestic films?
For this reason, the State Administration decided to speed up the reform and layout of the domestic film industry.
Enterprise collectivization is the establishment of a large-scale enterprise like Huaying Group, forming a one-stop production, distribution and release, and enhancing the competitiveness of film enterprises.
Implement the cinema system, promote cross-regional operation, and establish a cinema-based film supply mechanism.
Before '93, all cinema chains in the country were owned by the state and operated by the state in accordance with the plan.
In '93, a reform was carried out to allow private capital to enter the film industry, and the theater chains in various provinces and cities were given the right to operate independently, but the theater chains still belonged to state-owned enterprises.
It was an incomplete reform.
The cinema system draws on the business model of Western cinemas, and implements a unified brand, unified film scheduling, unified operation, and unified management of the distribution and screening mechanism.
This is the main basis for Lin Zixuan to form a good dream cinema line.
If it was before, the state did not allow private theaters to operate, nor did they allow theaters to operate across provinces, even if they built movie theaters, they would not be able to get a business license for theaters.
The only way is to be affiliated with a state-owned cinema chain and be controlled by a state-owned cinema chain.
This document of the General Administration is equivalent to opening a hole, and there is a loophole to exploit.
Lin Zixuan will only prepare for the construction of the theater after getting the inside information, this document is only a draft, and it will probably take a year or two to implement it.
At that time, his theater layout across the country had been completed.
