You and I let you divide the seats and sit down, Xie Tieli couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Xiao Xu, our Beiying is preparing to put "Dream of Red Mansions" on the big screen, for this, we have made full preparations, and now everything is ready, only ...... Some production costs. Afraid that Xu Cun would not give them money, speaking of this, Xie Tieli's tone changed, and he said: "Some time ago, several assistant directors of the crew and I watched "Five Women's Birthday" starring Miss Tao Cometin, and several of us agreed that Miss Tao's appearance, temperament, and acting skills are excellent, and it is very suitable for Lin Daiyu to play our "Dream of Red Mansions"!"
As a filmmaker who was lucky enough to watch "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating, Xu Cun actually deeply regrets this masterpiece that is covered with dust - the adaptation of "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating is very level, foreshadowing everywhere, there are responses, and logical mistakes are rarely made, and according to the characteristics of film art, some scenes that are not in the book are appropriately designed and added, and the expressiveness of some plots even exceeds the original work.
It's a pity -
In the last life, the release time of "Dream of Red Mansions", which Beijing Film was committed to creating, was not well chosen-it was just in time for that political event, and in that tense and high-pressure atmosphere, how could the audience be in the mood to go to the movies?
"Only since the Qingming Dynasty has lofty aspirations, and he was born in the last days. ”
This is the sentence of Tanchun in "Dream of Red Mansions", and it is actually very appropriate to describe the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating.
The production of "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating is not excellent, the main creators are not careless, and the artistic level is not high, but the reflection is mediocre, and in terms of market effect, it can be regarded as a failure.
What's even more sad is that not many people in the previous life have watched the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating, and what circulates on the Internet is only a video version with a rough picture.
The reason is that the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating is really not suitable for the audience to watch - after all, who will watch the 735-minute film in the cinema?
Therefore, in addition to choosing the wrong release time, the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beiying is committed to creating is too lengthy and a failure.
In addition-
In the early 80s, movies were the main form of entertainment for the Chinese people, but what about TV dramas? At that time, China had not even popularized television sets to every household, let alone had any sophisticated production. Therefore, the film and television talents at that time were concentrated in the film industry.
But since the mid-80s, the number of households owning television sets in China has gradually increased, and TV dramas have begun to dominate the Chinese film and television market - after all, it is more enjoyable to stay at home and spend no money than movies.
This undoubtedly led to the inevitable decline of the movie.
But-
The arrogant Chinese filmmakers refuse to admit defeat at all, and the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Beijing Film is committed to creating is a counterattack against TV culture.
Before they went into the ring, they were actually quite confident -- many filmmakers who watched the '87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" even contemptuously said: "This is just a comic strip!" Liu Xiaoqing said directly: "What kind of director is Wang Fulin? What kind of director is Xie Tieli!"
However,
They all underestimated the impact of TV culture, not to mention that it was a sincere TV series, and although it was flawed in its artistic performance, it was enough to freeze the audience's imagination of "Dream of Red Mansions".
And the latecomers, no matter how high the artistic level, must also accept the pickiness of the audience's accustomed tastes.
Actually,
The deep-seated reason for the failure of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the market that Beiying is committed to creating is actually very simple - the audience does not like the standard art film "Dream of Red Mansions", so that it has no room for use at all, and can only be reduced to a magnificent artistic elegy in the end.
Therefore, from an investment perspective alone, "Dream of Red Mansions", which Beiying is committed to creating, is not a good investment object.
But-
Now Xu Cun has already passed the stage of making money by investing in movies.
In other words, the rich and capricious Xu Cun can invest in one or even multiple movies without the purpose of making money.
It is precisely because of this that after listening to Xie Tieli's request, Xu Cun asked directly: "I don't know how much production money you still lack from Director Xie?"
Xie Tieli straightened up and said: "Mr. Xiao Xu, you are also a movie master, and you are clear about things related to movies, so I won't beat around the bush with you, we are ready to invest heavily in recruiting famous craftsmen and craftsmen to build the "Grand View Garden" of the Jia family's concubine provincial villa, and the "Ningguo Mansion" that confirms the rise and fall of the Jia family." In addition, we are preparing to audition actors across the country, and the actors who have been decided are Liu Xiaoqing, Zhao Lirong, Ding Lan and so on...... Therefore, there is a big gap in the production cost. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Tieli stretched out two fingers and said, "At present, we still lack two ......."
knew that what Xie Tieli wanted to say should be 'two million', but Xu Cun deliberately interrupted Xie Tieli and said, "Twenty million, so much?"
An assistant director who came with Xie Tieli wanted to correct Xu Cun's 'misunderstanding', but before he could speak, he was stopped by a very quick reaction Xie Tieli stopped him with a look! Then, Xie Tieli followed Xu Cun's words and said: "Just to build the Grand View Garden and Ningguo Mansion in line with the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions", 10 million is not enough......
Tapping his fingers on the table and pretending to be silent for a while, Xu Cuncai said: "It's not impossible to invest 20 million yuan, but I have two conditions......
Hearing that Xu Cun was willing to invest 20 million yuan in their crew, Xie Tieli was in ecstasy, and the two assistant directors who came with Xie Tieli couldn't help but be overjoyed!
As for the other people at the table, they were all shocked by Xu Cunken's 'feat' of investing 20 million yuan in "Dream of Red Mansions", among which Liu Xiaoqing, who was scheming, and Chen Hong, who was nervous, were the most!
Xie Tieli forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
Xu Cun stretched out a finger and said, "The first condition, the Grand View Garden and Ningguo Mansion must be built in my film and television city in Hengdian, Zhejiang, and at least half of the 20 million must be spent on permanent buildings." ”
Xu Cunti's first condition surprised Xie Tieli, but thinking that the permanent buildings costing more than 10 million yuan must be a perfect interpretation of the Grand View Garden and Ning Guofu, and thinking that even if they used more than 10 million yuan to build permanent buildings, they could still use nearly 10 million yuan to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", Xie Tieli immediately said: "Okay, your first condition, I agreed on behalf of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions"!" Then, the anxious Xie Tieli took the initiative to ask: "Then Mr. Xu, what is your second condition?"
Xu Cun smiled slightly, then stretched out two fingers and gently pointed at the unprepared Chen Hong beside him, and said, "Let this beautiful Miss Chen beside me play the role of Xue Baochai......"
