Chapter 567: Sparks

Hearing Lin Zixuan's decision, the employees of Good Dream Company couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no one wanted to let the company fall into a crisis, and not being afraid of trouble does not mean that they want to cause trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Look at what makes you nervous, I just make an assumption, I hope the film can win awards, so that we can also shine in the Oscars of the Americans. Lin Zixuan joked.

Everyone smiled cooperatively, not taking this seriously.

It is true that Li Yu is from Hollywood, and he has also made movies that have been shortlisted for the Oscars, but they are English films.

There is little hope for a Chinese-language film to win the Oscars, but it would be good to win a small award in the technology or costume category.

Lin Zixuan didn't mention the matter of making another version, it was still early, so he was not in a hurry.

There is one more thing about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and that is the Olympic film.

According to the rules of the Academy Awards, each country or region can only select one film per year to participate in the competition for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a film co-produced by the mainland, Xiangjiang and Baodao.

These three parties are eligible to select and send films to the Oscars, so there is a saying in whose name it will be selected, if the film selected by the mainland wins the award, the honor will go to the domestic film industry.

The mainland side is decided by the General Administration, and the competition is fierce every year, and it is a battlefield for big directors.

The selection of films by the General Administration is more about political factors, followed by art and influence.

Lin Zixuan naturally hopes that the General Administration will agree to send "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to participate in next year's Oscar competition, but Good Dream Company does not have such a big say.

You can only apply and do your best.

After the topic of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the atmosphere of the meeting became relaxed, and this year was a bumper year for Good Dream Company.

The company's campaign to invite citizens to watch movies for free was very successful, not only spending 1.5 million yuan, but also influencing audiences in other regions through news media coverage.

led to a small explosion at the box office of "The Funeral of the Big Names", which finally reached 40.6 million yuan.

According to the proportion of account sharing with Huaying Company, Haomeng Company can get a box office share of 16 million.

Excluding various miscellaneous expenses, including taxes and fees, the film brought more than 10 million net revenue to the company.

This is Feng Xiaogang's highest-grossing film, which has established his position in the Chinese New Year film market.

According to statistics, the film accounted for 10 percent of the total annual box office of cinemas in the capital, and reached 15 million in the capital area.

Last year, five Chinese New Year films were released in China, and most of them had a box office of about 10 million.

Of course, they don't have the large scale of investment in "The Funeral of a Big Shot", the actors are famous, and they dare to spend money on publicity.

This shows that the domestic film industry can no longer make a small fuss, and the probability of success is not high if it invests two or three million or three million and expects to be able to make a big deal with a small one.

It's time for domestic films to move towards big productions.

Feng Xiaogang raised the production cost of comedy to 30 million yuan, and he was able to earn money through product placement and placement advertising, which gave domestic films a shot in the arm.

High investment means high returns.

With Feng Xiaogang's successful example, other film and television companies dare to invest, so as to produce sophisticated domestic commercial films.

Lin Zixuan plans to hold a celebration banquet before the Spring Festival to treat the company's employees.

After the celebration banquet, in addition to the creative department being able to take a holiday, other departments must stick to their posts, and the publicity work of the sequel to "Desire" across the country cannot be relaxed.

At the end of the year-end meeting, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang chatted in the office.

"Jiang Wen's temper is probably useless to persuade, I used to listen to persuasion, since he won two international awards, he really regarded himself as an artist, and he talked about creation with his mouth closed, and he was stunned. Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said.

This is a joke, although Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen don't deal with each other, they have to argue when they meet, but they have a good relationship.

Jiang Wen is the kind of person who has the temperament of an artist, not the temperament of an artist on the surface, but what he thinks in his heart, has his own artistic persistence, and will not compromise easily.

Feng Xiaogang said that there is a certain truth, and Jiang Wen, who won the award, is obviously more stubborn and more persistent.

filmed "Sunny Day", after the General Administration reviewed, he was asked to revise seven scenes, and he revised it, and when it came to "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", he adopted a perfunctory attitude, and finally participated in the international film festival in violation of regulations.

This time, Wang Zhongjun asked Lin Zixuan to persuade Jiang Wen not to participate in the film festival in violation of regulations, Feng Xiaogang thought it was no show.

Jiang Wen is very clear about the censorship system in China, since he dares to shoot like that, he has no intention of passing the censorship, and in this case, he is unlikely to give up participating in the film festival.

"Let's try it, why don't you come to shoot "Hero", Brother Feng?" Lin Zixuan said.

Feng Xiaogang has read the script of "Hero", he has the intention of trying, has made a few comedies, and also wants to change the genre.

It's just that he is a little hesitant, this transformation is a bit big, and he doesn't know if he can control it, he wants to see the audience's reaction to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before making a decision.

If domestic audiences can accept martial arts films like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he will try to direct "Hero".

Feng Xiaogang's biggest advantage is that he keeps learning, absorbing the strengths of other directors and using them in his own films.

There's no way, who made him a wild man, his style is formed in continuous learning, and there is no trick.

"If Jiang Wen doesn't want to lead, then I'll come, and I'll ask him to be the protagonist. Feng Xiaogang said simply.

Feng Xiaogang admits that Jiang Wen has an advantage over him in filming movies like "Hero", but as a successful commercial film director, he has his own confidence and knows what the audience wants to see.

"Then it's better to let Brother Jiang direct, have you forgotten about the filming of "Beijingers in New York"?" Lin Zixuan quipped.

During the filming of "Beijing People in New York", Jiang Wen made trouble for Feng Xiaogang, which made Feng Xiaogang lose his temper.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was still an unknown little director, and Jiang Wen was already a big star in China, but Feng Xiaogang firmly controlled the crew and successfully finished filming the TV series.

Strange to say, although they argued fiercely, in the end they did not make trouble.

Maybe they are all for the good of the TV series, rather than wanting to fight for control of the crew.

This is the reason why it is difficult for Jiang Wen to cooperate with other directors, his approach is easy to cause misunderstanding among directors, and makes those directors feel like they are being set aside, who is the director in the end.

A real great director can tolerate an actor like Jiang Wen, give him room to play, and create classic roles.

Now Feng Xiaogang has become the top commercial film director in China, and Jiang Wen has won an international award. (To be continued.) )
