Chapter 190 Scene 190 New Style
Li Xiaole is also probably aware of the infighting of the Chinese Film, because a few years later, there is a screenwriter Liu Heping who understands the inside story of the Chinese Film, and wrote the process of the internal struggle of the Chinese Film into a film called "Ming Dynasty 1566", this Yan Jieyan Fusheng father and son are the prototypes of Yan Song and Yan Shifan in the play, because this TV series is too classic, so Li Xiaole has watched it more than ten times, and when he sees the character prototype at this time, the more he watches it, the more interesting it becomes.
"I think it's a little interesting, too?" Jiang Wen looked at them with an appreciative look:
"These guys all have ghosts in their hearts, and they talk around the corner, it's really fucking funny." patted Li Xiaole: "How about you say we will make them into movies in the future, I want to play this Han Sanpin, how can he be so knowledgeable, but Han Xiaoli's role is not good, too serious, I still have to find someone with a little humor, and it will be interesting to be like Ge You." ”
When Li Xiaole heard him say this, he remembered that he let the three classic actors play at the dinner table in Bullet Fei, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, could it be that he was inspired by such a meeting? I was really convinced, Jiang Wen was really not an ordinary cow, and in this case, he could still integrate the plot of life into a drama, which he could only admire.
Just when the two gangs were arguing, suddenly, a light cough came from the mobile phone speaker that had been silent, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Yan Jie stood up and asked Han Sanpin: "Sanpin, Xie Lao is tired, you see that you don't have to fight, what projects do you propose, let's discuss them together." ”
"Our project is Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", and the investment amount is 10 million." Han Xiaoli said immediately when he heard this.
"10 million?" Yan Fusheng immediately smiled coldly: "I remember that Director Jiang Da spent 20 million with Huayi Financing outside to make a "The Devil is Coming", but not a penny of investment was returned, how can this project be approved?" ”
Han Xiaoli also immediately fell silent, this is the biggest handle of their second production, Jiang Wen is the only person in China Film who has any hope of making a profitable movie, but he was killed by the Film Bureau because of "The Devil is Coming", this tone has not been slowed down, otherwise with the top box office of 50 million in his last "Sunny Day", there is no problem in applying for 10 million, but now......
Jiang Wen didn't mind when he heard it, he just smiled very loudly, he had heard a lot of this kind of ridicule, where did this gang of administrative people know what movies, anyway, while he was staying in Zhongying, he was also talking about investment outside, just a name, although he said that there was no problem, he didn't have much hope in his heart.
"Let's talk about the second project." Han Sanpin smiled gently, as if he had expected it a long time ago, clapped his hands, and the skilled staff immediately handed the big guy a new document.
"Second project?" Yan Fusheng and those people were stunned for a moment, and muttered in their hearts, Beiying's old deployment was all in the first production, and the second production went to Luchuan, Feng Xiaogang, where is there any second project? Could it be that Jiang Wen made two books?
Yan Fusheng opened the document with strong doubts, and when he saw the name of "Crazy Stone" on it, he was completely angry, and asked with a calm face: "Director Han, what do you mean by this?" Didn't this book fail in the Film Bureau? ”
"The first time I didn't pass." Han Sanpin looked at Yan Jie very calmly, and said gently: "Three days ago, Director Li had already made a major revision, and I submitted an application to the Film Bureau again, this time it went smoothly, the filming permit has come down, and it was only thanks to the leaders of the bureau that it could be done so smoothly in the face of President Yan." ”
Hearing this, Yan Fusheng and the others were silent, Han Sanpin was too clever, and he said two things in one sentence.
First, he only submitted it to the Film Bureau three days ago, but he was able to approve it quickly, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and the energy in Han Sanpin's hands greatly exceeded their surprise.
Secondly, in front of Xie Yang's phone, he said that this was Yan Jie's connections, and pulled Yan Jie into the water, if he Yan Fusheng strongly objected, this would not be to the public, it was obviously to the private, Han Sanpin's move was understated, but it pressed them, who originally had an absolute advantage, and couldn't move.
"Sanpin...... I'm old, I don't have this ability anymore, or you are young and promising, and you can do great things. Yan Jie smiled kindly: "Usually you are in front of my face, let Director Yan, today you give him a class is also a good thing, let's say, how much investment do you want in this project." ”
At this time, Han Sanpin's eyes glanced at Li Xiaole, Li Xiaole took a deep breath, cheered up, took the CD he made haode and put it into the computer, motioned to the staff to turn off the lights, and then turned on the projector.
"Leaders, let me first tell you about the information of this project, the estimated investment is 5 million."
Seeing the PPT description, everyone on the scene, including Jiang Wen, felt that there were some differences, you must know that it was 2002, in a state-owned enterprise like China Film, and an art industry like film, these forty or fifty-year-old production directors are still used to using their mouths to talk about the routine of the project, and there is no precedent for anyone to use icon data to illustrate.
""Crazy Stone" is a comedy mainly aimed at male audiences, among the box office genres in the mainland, domestic film comedy is the most popular genre in the past decade, and the box office return is also the highest, this is the data of the past ten years, Zhou Xingxing, Feng Xiaogang's movie box office trend chart ......" Li Xiaole explained to the projection icon.
"Director Xiao Li, your data is not right, the box office returns of our domestic comedies are not good, why do you just take the data of Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingxing?" Director Zhao, who had slapped Yan Jie's ass before, suddenly interrupted and asked.
"It's very simple, because other domestic films are simply not up to the standard of comedy." Li Xiaole smiled, and when he saw that the white-haired Director Zhao was about to speak, he made a gesture to him to ask and wait:
"I know that the director of production must not know the definition of 'comedy movie', although of course it cannot be defined artistically, but it can be defined commercially, according to Warner's definition of 'comedy movie', a comedy must be within 75 to 95 minutes, and there must be 40-60 'event twists and turns' in this time, and each 'event twist and turn' must contain 1 to 2 laughs, which is what we call the burden of shaking in traditional cross talk......
For example, Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B", and Zhou Xingxing's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", although the themes are completely different, they all meet this standard, and if they follow this standard, other so-called comedy movies in China are not qualified at all......"
Hearing this, everyone present, including Jiang Wen, instinctively wanted to refute this seemingly absurd data theory, but their research on movies was subjected to Soviet-style analysis, and most of them were studied from an artistic point of view, and they paid more attention to the characters themselves, and they did not have detailed statistics on this kind of event.
Zhou Xingxing, Feng Xiaogang box office haode movie, are there 40 to 60 'incident twists and turns', and whether there are laughs in each event, they don't know very well, how can they refute it?
All of them showed thoughtful expressions, thinking back to these domestic comedy movies in their minds, trying to find an example that did well at the box office and did not meet this data, but after thinking about it, they were surprised to find that the box office haode comedy movies they knew, whether it was Hong Kong, the mainland, or the United States, seemed to meet this rule.
In other words, what Director Xiao Li said may really be a universal criterion...... This shook everyone's hearts.
"Our factory only went to Warner to do research the year before last, why haven't we heard of this standard?" Director Zhao is still a little unwilling, and he is embarrassed.
"Director Zhao, I remember that you did go to Warner the year before last to investigate, but it seems that you didn't bring any jishu reports back, but you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a second-hand Nikon camera head." Before Li Xiaole could speak, Jiang Wen interjected with a disdainful expression and smiled......
Everyone listened to it for a while, but they didn't dare to laugh, Director Zhao's face turned red and he couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to say anything when he looked at Jiang Wen.
Many people at the scene wanted to refute Li Xiaole, but no one said anything, they suddenly felt that in terms of film theory, this Director Li seemed to be far above them, could it be that the professional level of film business theory in Korean universities is so high, any college student is better than them?
"Even if the comedy movie genre is okay, then it depends on who makes it, right? Is it possible that you can shoot the script if you pass it? Yan Fusheng was unhurried, pointed out the key problem, everyone looked at Li Xiaole, that means obviously, you kid Mao has not grown up, why should you be a director? If you are Lu Chuan, you will be able to get up and down in the relationship with the Beijing Film Studio, you don't have any background, just Han Sanpin supports you, you can be on the throne? You think it's beautiful.
When Li Xiaole heard this, he suddenly laughed, looking at these production directors who looked down on him, and felt that this group of people was really interesting, no wonder China Film's internal studio has never been set up, there are these old and ignorant idiots who treat the market as an administrative office, of course, they can't do anything.
"Director Li, pay attention to your attitude, and if you have something to say, you can say it well." Han Sanpin felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, and reminded Li Xiaole in a deep voice.
"Yes." Li Xiaole nodded and said: "Everyone, you can look down at this information in your hands, it has all the information about "Crazy Stone", how much investment, where it is used, what kind of shooting is being completed at what time, and of course, there is also the director's information, after reading it, and then what questions are there, you are asking ......."
Everyone was unhappy when they heard it, but they could only open the more than 100 pages of documents and files in their hands, and turn the first page of overall arrangement, but they all immediately opened their mouths, and everyone instinctively turned back quickly, and they were all surprised to say nothing, and the scene immediately quieted down, only to hear the "rustle" page turning sound.
Yan Fusheng was not interested at all, and seeing other people's reactions was so strange, he had no choice but to open the project information of "Crazy Stone" in front of him.
