At the commendation meeting, in the jubilant atmosphere of everyone, the expressions of Lao Jiangtou and others were a little painful, because Han Sanpin held a vigorous award ceremony for the box office of more than 20 million in advance and awarded them in front of all the leaders.

The crew received a red envelope of 10,000 yuan per person, Lao Jiangtou held it in his hand as a representative, with a forced smile on his face, but he was extremely depressed in his heart, and several team leaders next to him scolded each other in a low voice: "This money is not sent to us, why do we have to go on stage to receive the award......"

"The bonus transfer agreement is approved by the leader, and we must not go through the motions? You were so happy when you signed it, but now don't talk nonsense. Lao Jiangtou snorted with a calm face, these team leaders could only swallow the bitter water in their stomachs, didn't they let Li Xiaole earn 2,000 each......

When Li Xiaole asked them to sign this bonus transfer agreement, who of them would have thought of today~!? Now a few people are holding the money, and when they think of the way they signed at the beginning, their intestines are full of regret......

Looking at Li Xiaole who was applauding next to him, Lao Jiangtou also had nothing to say, and he contracted the bonus with this Director Li, and he made a lot of money from his own people...... Could it be that before he made this film, he thought that he could get a box office of 20 million?

At the same time as the celebration party of China Film, Lei Ting, who was watching TV to learn Chinese in Li Xiaole's apartment, was also dumbfounded, for the craze caused by "Crazy Stone", many jewelry brands chasing the trend will naturally not let go, Chow Tai Fook timely launched the "Rich Blossom" jade necklace that is very similar to the jade in the movie, as one of the main products of this season, the "Rich Blossom" jade necklace appeared on TV shopping at the speed of light, and it is almost exactly the same as the "stone" in the movie, No changes at all.

The TV shopping station, which was a male host with a bespectacled voice and a very magnetic voice, held the necklace and said very quickly:

"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience in front of the TV, good evening, a person's life is a long journey, so what makes your journey dazzling? What is it?

That's right~ Today, Xiaofang is honored to recommend to you a "auspicious Ruyi jade necklace" produced by our South African Effie company for the first time in Asia.

This necklace is handmade, made from the most natural South African green jadeite, which has the magical function of regulating the body's magnetic field and improving health.

Originally, the price of the counter was 898 ~ but in order to give back to our customers, South Africa Effie Company gave an ultra-low shock price of 128 ~ Yes, 128, you can bring home health and luxury.

You heard it right, there are no dealers, no agents, no agency fees, direct shipping by a South African company...... Only 100 pieces are sold at a loss, if you want to be one of the 100 lucky ones ~ Please hurry up and call the phone ...... at the bottom of the screen"

A few days later, Lei Ting saw a social news report on Henan Satellite TV's "News Investigation Room", in which a beautiful female reporter interviewed a victim of TV shopping and said:

"This advertising fraud incident has been accepted by the Hexi Intermediate People's Court, and the so-called South African Irene Company is just a small workshop in Hexi City, which is mainly a night market vendor, and consumers think that the company's products are the same as the props in a movie called "Crazy Stone".

It is not yet known whether the film crew is directly involved in the incident. ”

Lei Ting touched her head, shook her head, and muttered softly: "Actually doing this kind of sales promotion on TV, these people are simply crazy, isn't this an infringement?" She didn't understand that Weishenme didn't seem to have the concept of copyright in China...... It's a strange country.

***

In the past few days, the phone call of Han Sanpin's second studio has never been so lively, and the secretary Xiao Wang keeps receiving calls from different people in all aspects every day, some are asking to buy copies, some are theaters that want to talk about commercial cooperation, and some are advertising companies hoping to sign endorsements with the actors in "Crazy Stone", but they are more interested in Li Xiaole, a young director.

Although it is close to the Spring Festival, the office building of today's "China Film News" is particularly lively, many movie fans in Chu and Zhejiang, as well as students from Chinese opera and Beiying, have flocked to the door of the building, and the security guards are strictly guarding the exits of the building to verify the documents of all the people entering and exiting.

And Li Xiaole is sitting in an office on the 17th floor at the moment, conducting an interview program, according to the requirements of China Film Group, he will be required to participate in the interview column of "China Film News" as the front page of the next issue.

"Director Li, Jiu Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Yimou, the chief Chinese director wearing a simple black jacket and a flat head, entered the interview office and saw Li Xiaole's first words bending down to say hello, so frightened that Li Xiaole quickly got up and said hello:

"Hello Director Zhang, I'm ...... I...... Seen your movie. Seeing this mainland master director who has never met but has admired his name for a long time, Li Xiaole was excited and nervous, and his speech was not very neat.

This text interview, a closed interview environment, is more serious, a host asks questions, two text reporters make a record, and record at the same time, but Zhang Yimou and Li Xiaole requested that it was forbidden to shoot and retain the video.

Li Xiaole and Zhang Yimou are not directors at all, and this time they can sit together for an interview, which is completely led by Zhang Weiping, the president of New Pictures, and Han Sanpin, the two bigwigs of China Film.

After a few pleasantries, the reporter in charge of asking questions threw out the theme question: "What do the two directors think is important to the movie, story and jishu, and can we compete with American movies in the local market?" What genre can compete with American films? ”

Zhang Yimou touched his hair and thought for a while before saying:

"Of course, the story will always be the core of the movie, but on this basis, jishu is also very important, for example, I have liked martial arts novels since I was a child, and I have always had a martial arts complex, so I had the prototype of "Hero" very early, but because the shooting techniques could not keep up, and many pictures of "Hero", such as the yellow leaves falling and the sword rain of the Qin army...... It's been in my mind, and zuihou waited until I now mastered the shooting jishu to become proficient in the lens before it came to fruition in the lens......"

When Li Xiaole talked about the movie, his tone was much calmer, and he took over the conversation:

"Yes, of course, the story is the foundation, but how to make a good story into a movie requires the support of jishu, a really good movie is packaged on the basis of a good story, many people say that you can make a blockbuster with money, as a director, I think no matter how much financial support, jishu is not what you say you have, for example, Director Zhang shot those color uses in "Hero", and I may not shoot it for a few decades......"

Li Xiaole said that his tone was slightly excited: "I heard many people criticize Director Zhang for not telling stories in "Hero", but showing off jishu, in fact, the story of the core of "Hero" is very moving, but the ordinary audience is not able to understand the metaphysical artistic conception, and there is a gap between the concept of the director and the audience......"

"No, I did not shoot perfectly in this regard, and I humbly accepted the audience'......s suggestion" Zhang Yimou hurriedly smiled, stopped Li Xiaole, and changed the subject:

"As for whether Chinese films can compete with American films in their homeland and in what genre they compete with American films, I think "Crazy Stone" is very illustrative, and the down-to-earth comedy is a very haode breakthrough point."

Zhang Yimou said this, shook his head unconsciously, and said:

"As for the big production, it is difficult for us to compare with the United States for the time being, such as "Hero" and "Titanic", I only shot a small corner of the big era when I filmed "Hero", and I already felt very difficult, but the crew directed by Cameron used a ship to build a beautiful huge shijie, at this point we still have an extremely obvious gap, props, lighting, makeup, blasting, all aspects are incomparable with the United States, we should accumulate talents in film and television foundation, and work hard in education, Cultivating a large number of high-quality professional filmmakers......"

"Director Li, what do you think?" The reporter who asked the question saw that Li Xiaole bowed his head and was speechless, so he knew that he had a different opinion and tried to provoke.

Li Xiaole was originally a fairly modest person, but when it came to the problems of the film and television profession, he would be more serious, frowning and shaking his head:

"I don't quite agree with Director Zhang's point of view, if we focus on shooting genre comedies, even if we are successful, it will easily cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue and shoot genre movies into a dead end.

On the contrary, I think we should strive to use different themes to open up the market, and the genre that should be improved the most is precisely the mainstream theme that takes care of all groups of people.

Yes, the model of American films is more stylized, and it can efficiently shoot high-quality big productions in a short period of time, and although we have obvious gaps in all aspects, if we can concentrate the outstanding talents in our Chinese film industry, with enough capital investment, enough energy to produce haode movies.

I believe we can still make well-made films that can compete with most of the mainstream themes of American films, not just in the home market...... For example, "Infernal Affairs", which is now produced in Hong Kong, and "Hero" by Director Zhang are the products of the elite collection of the industry...... There is a huge gap between us and American films in terms of basic talent, but the gap in top talent is much smaller......"

Li Xiaole said that there was a sudden pause here, and his tone slowed down:

"The most important thing is that our films must first make a profit, make the entire industry bigger, and let everyone understand that we can also exchange huge investment for huge returns, instead of always expressing personal emotions with small-cost literary films, and movies must ultimately serve the general public."

The reporter in charge of taking the record was obviously stunned for a moment, and showed a strange smile before putting this record on.

"I would like to add a question, I want to ask both of you, you are both known as representatives of the revival of Chinese cinema in the weakest stage, so what is your biggest goal for Chinese cinema, and what kind of works do you want to make the most?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Zhang Yimou smiled without hesitation:

"I also hope to promote local culture and continue to shoot costume themes, and my next film will also be a costume theme, which will be different from "Hero" and will be biased towards Aiqing's description."

Li Xiaole thought about it for a while, and replied with a serious expression:

"At present, what I hope to make the most is a 'Chinese Western' that can bring together the best filmmakers in China, and I hope that Zou Yunfa, Ge You, Jiang Wen, so that the most Haode actors in the Chinese will concentrate in this movie and make a hero movie that Chinese themselves."
