Chapter 083: I'm Going Home!
Youth Film Studio is a film production institution affiliated with the Kyoto Film Academy, formerly known as the Kyoto Film Academy Experimental Film Studio, which was established in 1958. Its main task is to cooperate with the teaching plan of each department, and to be a place for all teachers to carry out creative practice, and to complete the film assignments and production practice of students in each teaching process.
In 1979, the Experimental Film Studio organized the filming of the color feature film "Sakura" and changed its name to the Kyoto Film Academy Youth Film Studio. In the 80s, Qingying Studio successively filmed well-known films such as "Chen Hansheng Goes to the City", "Hunan Girl Xiao Xiao", "Natal Year" and other well-known films, which had a great influence in China.
In 1993, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued the "Several Opinions on the Reform of the Current Film Industry Mechanism", and China Film Company no longer purchased and underwrote domestic feature films, and each studio was responsible for its own profits and losses. Various domestic film studios began to restructure, and the same is true for Qingying Studio. In the years that followed, with the exception of "Red Cherry", which received attention, most of the other works were not satisfactory. Qingying Studio quickly faded out of people's field of vision.
Qingying Studio has a production scale of producing five or six films a year, with two studios, a full set of photographic lighting, scenery equipment, and dozens of well-trained professional and technical personnel. The technical backbones recommended by Director Zhou are all selected from Qingying Studio.
Director Zhou, whose full name is Zhou Changgong, is in his forties, with a Chinese face, medium build, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a polite appearance.
This is the first time Chen Yuan and Zhou Changgong have met.
Zhou Changgong was very enthusiastic, he welcomed Chen Yuan and the three into the office and personally poured a glass of water for everyone.
Su Muying was a little restrained, and whispered thank you. Li Bing is naturally much more generous. Chen Yuan even took the initiative to stand up and thank him.
Zhou Changgong smiled and said, "Sit, sit, don't be polite when you get here!" To be honest, I've always been curious about you as a young man! β
"I'm just an ordinary person, what's there to be curious about?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said sincerely, "Since the help and care of Director Zhou in these days, we have lost a lot of trouble. β
Zhou Changgong waved his hand and said, "Our Qingying Studio and your Qingyun Entertainment are a cooperative relationship. Helping each other is as it should be. β
"But we're working on 'Crazy Stone,' but 'Nightclub' isn't part of the partnership." Chen Yuan said, "I came to visit you this time, firstly, to express my most sincere gratitude, and secondly, to determine a more in-depth cooperative relationship with Qingying Studio. β
"Oh?" Zhou Changgong was a little surprised, "How do you say this?" β
"I wanted to leave the post-production of 'Nightclub' to the film school," Mr. Chen said.
Zhou Changgong was even more surprised at this time, he said: "The publicity work of "Nightclub" has been carried out with great momentum, and it has already had a wide range of moviegoers. You're just so relieved to leave it to us? β
The subtext is what if we don't do it well?
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "This is also something that is forced to be helpless. Director Zhou, I don't treat you as an outsider, let's just tell the truth. The filming of "Nightclub" is to better shoot "Crazy Stone". Now that the other two versions of Crazy Stone, Super Diamond and Magic Green Emerald, are in the preparation stage, we are clearly one step behind and must catch up with them! So we simply didn't have time to do post-production. β
"Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry," Zhou Changgong persuaded, "Your script has been filed with the National Copyright Administration, applied for copyright protection, and has also passed the review of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, and obtained the filming license." "Super Big Diamond" and "Magic Green Jade" are clearly infringing on your copyright, and as long as they dare to shoot, it is illegal. You can sue them! β
Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said, "This is not what I want. Suing them would have made them stop filming, but it didn't make me breathe that out. They dared to plagiarize my script because I was just a newcomer. Things in the circle, you know better than me. Newcomers like me are usually treated unfairly. I still have some ability, so I want to use this incident to give a serious warning to those who are not right-minded in the circle! β
Zhou Changgong gradually frowned, and it took a long time to stretch out. He smiled and said, "The affairs of young people should be left to you young people to solve by themselves!" If there's anything you need my help with, just ask! β
"Thank you so much," Chen Yuan thanked him again, and said, "What about the later stage of "Nightclub"? β
"Since you can rest assured that the post-production of the film will be handed over to us, we will naturally have no problem." Zhou Changgong said, "What about yourself, do you have any special ideas?" β
"The intermediate expenses can be paid by us Qingyun Entertainment," Chen Yuan said, "In addition, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers and students in the college, we Qingyun Entertainment will also take out a part of the funds as bonuses." The team that completes the best post-production session can be encouraged by a certain amount of bonuses! β
After hearing this, Zhou Changgong's eyes showed approval, and he said with a smile: "You young man is even better than I imagined!" Not only talented, but also hearted! Haha......"
As soon as the topic changed, Zhou Changgong said again: "I'm ashamed to say it. Since the document was issued above and the Qingying Studio was restructured, our Qingying Studio has always lost more and won less over the years. When you pitched in the script, we already had a plan for filming, and all the money we managed to raise was invested! Otherwise, Qingying Studio would not be in such an embarrassing state as it is now! β
"Oh? I don't know what kind of movie your factory is making? Chen Yuan was curious.
Speaking of this, Zhou Changgong couldn't help but get excited, he said: "This time, our Qingying Studio has made up our minds to shoot a big production. Please invite Xia Xiuxuan, the director of Xiangjiang, starring Wu Mengda and Shi Xiaolong! Just with the names of Wu Mengda and Shi Xiaolong, they can attract a large number of fans. Once this movie is made, it will definitely have a good box office, and when the time comes, our Qingying Studio will be able to make a beautiful comeback! β
Xia Xiuxuan? Chen Yuan was not impressed.
But since it is a director invited by Qingying Studio, it shouldn't be too bad. After all, the film academy itself has its own director, and they don't need to let their own director go, but they went outside to invite this Xia Xiuxuan. It shows that this Xia Xiuxuan still has real skills.
Chen Yuan has no impression of Xia Xiuxuan as a director, but he is deeply impressed by the two leading actors.
Needless to say, Wu Mengda is a well-known golden supporting role!
He has never really starred in a movie, and he has all appeared as a foil, from an unprofessional father to a decadent and incompetent policeman, almost all over the joys and sorrows of the little people in the market. With his meticulous and traceless performance, he firmly sits on the position of "Funny Male No. 2" in Hong Kong, and has become one of the few stars who are popular all over Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland by playing supporting roles.
Shi Xiaolong is only 11 years old this year, but he is already a big-name star.
When he was two years old, he worshiped Shi Yongxin, the twenty-ninth generation successor of Shaolin Temple, as his teacher, and gave him the Dharma name: Shi Xiaolong.
In June 93, the Songshan Shaolin Buddhist Culture Visiting Group was invited by Taiwan's Huaxia Culture University and the China Times to visit Taiwan. His martial arts and naΓ―ve attitude attracted the favor of Changhong Film Company, and he became a contracted actor of the film company at the age of 4 at the time. Back then, Shi Xiaolong and Taiwanese singer Lin Zhiying co-produced the movie "Xiaolin Boy".
Subsequently, he made many movies such as "New Oolong Courtyard", "Chinese Dragon", "Invincible Fighting Star", "Gambling Saint", "Ten Brothers", "Dragon in Shaolin", "Golden Island Adventure", "Heavenly Court Biography" and many other movies. Shi Xiaolong is becoming more and more popular, and there are new films to meet the audience every year.
Chen Yuan still retains the cute image of Shi Xiaolong in his childhood. If there is this cute little guy starring, plus the golden supporting actor Wu Mengda, the box office is almost quite guaranteed. No wonder a steady person like Director Zhou can't help but get excited when he talks about this movie!
"What's the name of this movie?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"The King of True Chefs," Zhou Changgong said, "mainly briefly describes the American Network International Food Group's plan to hold the "Chinese Chef God Competition" in a city in China in order to develop the food market in China. The winner will travel north to compete in the Grand Final, and the winner will receive a golden shovel and a $5 million partnership contract. β
Chen Yuan tried hard to rummage through the memories in his mind, but found that he didn't remember this movie at all!
Li Bing, who was accompanying him, saw that Chen Yuan was suddenly stunned and stopped talking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This movie is very interesting, it is in line with international standards." I have seen most of the movies that Shi Xiaolong has made before, and the box office is very good. This time will definitely be very ideal. β
"Haha......" Zhou Changgong smiled heartily and said, "I hope so, we in the Qingying Studio are still counting on this movie to make a beautiful comeback!" β
After saying goodbye to Director Zhou, Chen Yuan and the three of them took a taxi back to Chaoyang Hotel.
At this time, Huang Bo and Gao Hu had been waiting at the door of the hotel for a long time.
As soon as everyone met, Huang Bo said, "I bought all the Lantern Festivals you wanted, and put them in the small bread outside." When are we leaving? β
"Let's go up and pack our things first, and then come down right away, and you guys will wait here for a while."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he pulled Su Muying upstairs.
There wasn't much to pack in the hotel, so it only took three minutes for the two of them to pack their luggage and go downstairs.
Su Muying followed behind Chen Yuan and asked, "Brother Chen Yuan, if we set off at this time, can we still catch up?" β
This was just heard by Huang Bo downstairs. He smiled and said, "Sister Muying, don't worry, everyone knows my Huang Bo's skills." Other people's trips of three or four hours, I can do it in two hours! It's half past three in the afternoon, and before six, I'm sure I'll get you home! β
"Safety is the most important thing, and you have to be slow on the road." Li Bing admonished uneasily.
"I know, I know!" Huang Bo said as he helped put his luggage into the van.
Gao Hu whispered to Chen Yuan, "My mother is still in the hospital, so ......"
Chen Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know, Brother Gao, my aunt's condition is the most important. You have to take good care of her. This time is too busy, and I don't have time to visit my aunt in the hospital, so you must bring my greetings to my aunt. β
"And mine," Su Muying followed, "I wish my aunt a speedy recovery!" β
Gao Hu nodded heavily.
Huang Bowei screamed, and the little bread started. Su Muying waved goodbye to Gao Hu and Li Bing, and then couldn't help but say excitedly: "I want to go home!" β
