Chapter 389: Before the Release

After listening to He Mu's doubts, Yu Feihong smiled bitterly, "Actually, I was hindered when the film application was approved, I was too honest and inexperienced, and the plot synopsis almost all the plots were explained, and the staff of the Film Bureau directly denied the ......script when they saw that it involved ghosts."

Yu Feihong told her movie story, at that time this movie still retained the original name of "Ginkgo, Ginkgo", because she was very hit by the project, and later an old friend in the film industry taught her a trick to "deceive the upper and lower levels", anyway, when the project was established, the plot synopsis could be simplified, as long as you don't write those sensitive parts, Yu Feihong asked again, but what if the movie is not given the dragon mark when the movie is made, she is unwilling to be released without the court line.

The friend comforted her, "You are a big star, as long as it is not a principled political mistake, I believe that the people in the Film Bureau will not insist on getting along with you, as long as you shoot with subtlety, it should be no problem." ”

Yu Feihong listened to this friend's nonsense, and as a result, he started filming, sold his real estate after spending all his savings, and relied on his own appeal to raise funds when the money from selling the house was spent, and finally stumbled to complete the shooting, at this time, when he went to apply for a public screening permit, the film bureau rejected it, the reason was naturally related to ghosts, the film was completed in the fall of 06, Yu Feihong did a very meticulous job in the later stage, and the behind-the-scenes work was also responsible for the masters, and it was not completed until the beginning of 07, and the film was originally able to meet the audience in 07, but because of ghosts, it took more than two years to be released.

In order not to let his hard work go to waste, Yu Feihong exhausted all the methods he could. Change the title, delete the plot, and remake part of the plot. Friends in the circle helped to make peace, and finally got the public screening license with great difficulty, and it has been nearly two years since the production of the film was completed, and the only thing that is gratifying is that the unknown Duan Yihong has grown into one of the most popular and powerful actors in China in the past two years, with many fans, and his influence even far exceeds that of her director.

From Yu Feihong's experience, He Mu learned. It is quite dangerous for the element of "ghost" to appear in the movie, and there are many compromises that can be successfully released in "Love Has an Afterlife", such as Yu Feihong mentioned that in fact, the first version of the movie ended with Xiaoyu looking for Ah Ming in a group of ghosts queuing up to be reincarnated. In the end, he didn't find Ah Ming with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't see the last side of his lover in his previous life, even if these plots crossed the line in radio and television, they would never exist. Reincarnation and reincarnation can exist as religious theories. But it can't be conveyed to the audience through the movie, Yu Feihong feels that this version moves her even more and best reflects her film concept, but unfortunately it can't be shown to the audience because of institutional problems, so the ending of this public version was later refilmed.

In addition to downplaying the element of "ghost" as much as possible, it is also necessary to get through the relevant joints of the film bureau, and it would be a good way to make a few more influential friends. Yu Feihong asked He Mu, "You don't want to make ghost movies?" ”

He Mu shook his head. "I just think that if radio and television relax the restrictions in this regard, we will have more things to film, and I miss the feeling when I watched "Liao Zhai" when I was a child."

The old version of the TV series "Liao Zhai" has the concept of ghosts, but I don't know when Lu Dao began to ban ghosts in TV dramas and movies, Yu Feihong said, "The ban on ghosts in radio and television is out of anti-feudal superstition, at that time, there were too many illiterates in China, and the cultural level was generally not high, so it was easy to be affected by the adverse effects in film and television works, but now the cultural level of the people has been greatly improved, and there is no soil for the survival of feudal superstition, so this ban is actually not much necessary, but no one has spoken, So we can't talk about ghosts and shoot ghosts openly. ”

He Mu nodded, speechless for a while, he looked at the cup in front of Yu Feihong and moved, "The coffee is cold, I'll refill it for you, right?" ”

Yu Feihong smiled, this He Mu is really interesting.

Time into September, "Very Perfect" has been riding the wind and waves all the way, and now the box office is approaching the 100 million mark, Zhang Ziyi is already preparing for a celebration banquet, and the promotion of the film in South Korea is also progressing smoothly, Zhang Ziyi is often running at both ends of the South Korean mainland during this time, and the film is about to enter the Korean film market in a big way, the film is promoted and distributed by the Korean entertainment giant CJ in South Korea, and the main feature is also local star Su Zhixie and international actress Zhang Ziyi, although He Mu participated in "Red Cliff. "Down" has achieved more than two million viewers in South Korea, which is the best result of Chinese films in 09, and several of his TV series also have a certain influence in South Korea, but his fame still cannot be compared with Su Zhixie and Zhang Ziyi, and even less than his popularity in Japan, just like Su Zhixie, the promotion of "Very Perfect" in the mainland, Su Zhixie can't interject, He Mu is not comfortable going to South Korea, but after all, he is the first actor in the film, although he is not the main support of the film at the Korean box office, But I still followed Zhang Ziyi to South Korea for two days of publicity, during which she participated in a TV show.

He Mu's sense of variety shows is actually good, under the siege of several brothers and a happy family every day, he can still firmly become the focus of the venue, and steal the limelight of the host, but Zhang Ziyi doesn't participate in variety shows much, so He Mu followed her and didn't see the variety show of the variety show powerhouse Dahan Netherworld, and only participated in a talk show with Liu Zaishi, I heard that it is quite famous, both of them can only speak a few words of commonly used Korean, and the interview mainly relies on translation, but the host named Liu Zaishi is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, The audience was very enthusiastic about Zhang Ziyi He Mu's performance, He Mu knew that this enthusiasm was mainly for Zhang Ziyi, although Zhang Ziyi is a Chinese, but even in South Korea she is a well-known international star, Asian entertainment circles all yearn for Hollywood, and Zhang Ziyi is the best Asian actress in Hollywood today, which is the consensus of the entertainment circles of China, Japan and South Korea.

After returning from South Korea, He Mu began to devote himself to other work, and Xiao Nan, who followed him in the past, also began to build the South Korean He Mu fan group, Datang had taught her that the center of Asian entertainment will be transferred to the mainland with the improvement of China's national strength and the improvement of the consumption level of the domestic people, but this is a long process, before the mainland entertainment market fully grows, South Korea and Japan's entertainment industry still has advantages in the mainland, He Mu wants to become an international superstar, must first open up these three major markets, Recognized by these three markets.

Xiao Nan has successfully incorporated He Mu's Japanese fans before, and he has managed it well, coupled with He Mu's movies have performed well in Japan, and have appeared on Japanese radio and magazines many times, He Mu's popularity continues to rise, making his Japanese fans excited one after another, He Mu has become one of the most well-known Chinese stars in Japan.

This time she came to South Korea, Xiao Nan set her sights on the Korean flower girl, she knew that the Korean girl was crazy and killed the god when she met the god, and the Buddha killed the Buddha, which can best satisfy the vanity of the star, and ten fans can also create the momentum of tens of millions of fans, but she also knows that it is not so easy to cultivate loyal foreign fans, but the difficulty of developing He Mu's fans in South Korea is still beyond her expectations, she forgot that this is a country with a super high rate of artists, and the superb plastic surgery skills and strict standards of the artist system have created a large number of images that are close and have similar personalities, and in line with the mainstream aesthetics of South Korea's male and female stars, although He Mu is also very handsome, but the handsome is not so mainstream, the handsome one is different, and he is also a foreigner, so he is not as easy to capture a lot of crazy fans as those Korean Oba, but there are not a few Koreans who know him and know him, after all, China is a big country that cannot be ignored, and the big stars who can thrive in China will inevitably be concerned by Koreans.

How to cultivate loyal fans in South Korea Why Mu is Xiao Nan and the team behind him need to use their brains, He Mu has no time to think about that, this kind of fan is dispensable, and he doesn't have time to go to South Korea frequently, and he hasn't seen the popular mainland star who always looks for a sense of existence in South Korea, and there are a lot of people in turn.

Now He Mu has two things on hand, one is that "Du Lala is a Promotion" has been completed, and a week after He Mu left the crew, the film was all filmed, and Director Lao Xu invited He Mu to go south to the magic capital to participate in the finale banquet. Another is that "Glass Heart" will premiere nationwide soon, He Mu wants to go all over the country's major cities to carry out publicity, he is much more interested in this movie than "Very Perfect", lest the box office be poor and fall into the box office influence he has just established.

These two things are tricky, but they can also be taken into account, He Mu can eat the "Finale Banquet" by the way when he goes to the magic capital to promote "Glass Heart", and maybe he can also pull Lao Xu to help promote "Glass Heart" when the time comes.

He Mu's small abacus crackled, and at this time, there was a message from Datang, it turned out that the gift blockbuster "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" directed by Han Sanping Sanye had been produced, but because there were too many stars, too many materials, and the final edited version was too lengthy, in order to facilitate the release of Sanye, he decided to cut off about one-third of the content, so in the end, many stars' performances would be cut, and it would be good to have one hundred left after one hundred and forty stars, and anyone who became an unlucky person who was cut off would probably not be happy. After all, it took a lot of connections and scheming to enter this crew.

He Mu was very calm in the face of this news, judging from the publicity of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and the audience's expectations, this movie may create a miracle of Chinese films, but no matter what height its box office can reach, the success of the box office cannot be attributed to any star, this is the strength of the group, the strength of the system, He Mu does not dare to be greedy, he hopes that one day he can make a movie that attracts national attention with his own ability, just like today's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", if he is really unfortunate enough to be cut, That also saves the trouble of publicity, so that the wedding can be advanced again...... (To be continued......)
