Chapter 216: Changing the title of the film

On the afternoon of April 5th, Zhang Qiangfa, vice president of China Film Group, published a Weibo on Station B. *,,

Because the trajectory of the future has been different, Station B Weibo was born, with a unique user experience, before the Internet companies reacted, it quickly captured the field of Weibo. Coupled with the star effect, Station B Weibo has almost become the only Weibo on the Internet in China.

New. Langwang was supposed to create Weibo this year, but because it has been negotiating financing with Weibo at Station B, it has led to a new . Langwang has never developed its own microblog, and Tencent has never tried microblogging because of Tencent's failure. You can see the prosperity of Weibo, but the profitability of Weibo has always been a problem.

Even Bai Yuhan doesn't know how to make Weibo profitable, he only knows that in the future, everyone will be using Weibo to brush Weibo and play Weibo. B station Weibo is currently burning money in investment, as the scale is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more places that need to use money, but there are few profitable projects.

It is imperative to strip Station B and Station B Weibo from Wanhe Tianyi and accept financing.

Fortunately, the development of station B Weibo is only in private, on the surface, station B Weibo is still booming, especially with the popularity of the mobile phone version, a star has begun to use Weibo. Celebrities in the fields of enterprises, governments, undertakings, consulting, culture, marketing, scientific research, lawyers, etc., have successively added V certification and invested in the arms of Station B Weibo.

Zhang Qiangfa, vice president of China Film, also registered Station B Weibo not long ago, and once swiped Weibo, introducing the dynamics of China Film every day, which greatly increased the number of followers. Journalists, in particular, have followed his Weibo to get first-hand information.

Today. Zhang Qiang's new Weibo: "The movie "Chinese Partner" directed by Bai Yuhan has ended casting, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Tong Dawei have decided to join the film, and a few days ago, they started shooting at Beihe University of Technology. The movie will be based on the legend of New Oriental English, combined with other legendary fictions, to tell a story that is both New Oriental. It is not New Oriental's Chinese entrepreneurs. ”

There is also a group photo under the text, in which it seems to have been taken in the corner of a campus. There were nine people standing. Familiar with Han Sanye, Bai Yuhan, Zhang Qiangfa, Huang Xiaoming, Du Kefeng, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Ziwen and several others.

In the end, Zhang Qiangfa also had a lot of people, including Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education Group Co., Ltd., and Xu Xiaoping, co-founder.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, Xu Xiaoping forwarded it: "See the script." I was full of emotion. At that time, Bai Yuhan told me. Except for the names of Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun, Wang Yang and New Dream, all the other contents have been replaced, and now only these eleven words are my thing. However, "China Partner" is far more exciting than I could have imagined! ”

Then Zhao Wei forwarded it again: "I witnessed Mr. Xu Xiaoping and Bai Yuhan, and after meeting and chatting for ten minutes, "Chinese Partner" was finalized. Zhao Wei not only forwarded it, but also added another picture. This picture is the old Yu teahouse, more than a dozen entertainment and business tycoons. Group photo.

If Zhang Qiangfa and Xu Xiaoping still have few fans and little influence, Zhao Wei's retweet quickly attracted widespread attention from netizens.

Of course, the gossip is more about the gathering of bigwigs like Ma Yun, Zhao Wei, a female star, and what is mixed blindly. Soon, some netizens turned out the scandal, and it turned out that a reporter had photographed Zhao Wei living in the Hong Kong mansion of the wealthy Huang Youlong. He often travels back and forth to Singapore, and Huang Youlong holds the right of permanent residence in Singapore.

As soon as Zhao Wei's scandal was stirred, the exposure of "Chinese Partner" increased greatly, especially because many people mistook Zhao Wei for joining "Chinese Partner".

Soon after, Huang Xiaoming reposted this Weibo and posted a photo of his makeup, which has the flavor of the 80s and 90s: "In order to make a good movie, I gained 14 pounds, I am a turtle Cheng Dongqing." ”

followed by Deng Chao, Deng Chao's makeup photos are also the demeanor of young people in the 80s and 90s: "Empathize, Meng Xiaojun has my shadow on him, I like this role, I am a turtle!" ”

Then Tong Dawei also joined in the excitement and sent out his makeup photos, similarly, young people in the 80s and 90s: "I say that I am an angry youth, but in fact I am a romantic Wang Yang." ”

The makeup photos of the three of them are all in the 80s and 90s, all wearing glasses, Huang Xiaoming's dress is more rustic, Deng Chao's dress is cooler, and Tong Dawei's dress is quite warm and temperamental.

Accompanied by the three people sharing the stills, it was the subsequent Wanhe Tianyi official website station B, which opened a column for "Chinese Partner" and released the first batch of makeup photos.

Basically, they were shot in a dilapidated classroom, with three people shooting alone or together, and the most stylish one was the three people sitting on chairs, all with their feet on the table, and a blackboard behind them, which read in English: "think-in-american-english." ”

The three handsome guys, even in the dilapidated classroom, are still difficult to hide the light, handsome and compelling.

As soon as these makeup photos were revealed, they immediately caused crazy reprints on the Internet, and netizens and fans left messages one after another. Praise handsome, praise cool, table support.

However, for the title, there are also netizens who express their dislike.

"It's too leitmotif, I don't want to watch it directly."

"Just look at the name, it's another main theme movie, what is not good to shoot, shoot the main theme."

"Hehe, the main theme movie can only be searched by contributing online."

I don't know when it began, the main theme of China has become the existence of rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats. Because considering that the title of the film is indeed suspected of having the main theme, Wang Zhonglei and others asked Bai Yuhan if he would change the title.

Bai Yuhan was already on the set and started shooting, and shook his head when he heard this: "Change the yarn, it was originally a movie with the main theme, since they don't like to watch the main theme, then don't look at it well." If you have to trick them into coming in and seeing, you will definitely scold them when you come out, it is better not to go in directly, if you want to see it, you can watch it, and if you don't want to see it, don't force it. ”

"Swordsman. Make movies, don't drill the horns, or focus on making money. I think. Otherwise, change the title of the film, don't give people the feeling of being too main theme. Wang Zhonglei still dislikes the title a little.

Bai Yuhan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lei, you have to believe that the quality of a movie has something to do with the name, but whether it can succeed or not has little to do with the title." You took a good shot. Even if you take an inexplicable name, you can still be popular, and you can't shoot well. is named "Golden Vase Plum vs. Yupu Regiment", and few people watch it. ”

After a pause, Bai Yuhan said again: "Moreover, you have to believe it." Audience in China. There are still a lot of people who support domestic films. In contrast, many of the viewers who spoke on the Internet watched pirated copies, were used to watching European and American films, and their tastes were assimilated. No matter how good a domestic film you are, they won't necessarily like it. In fact, many Hollywood blockbusters are the main theme of the United States, why do everyone like to watch them. Because it was filmed well, the main theme was something that couldn't be explained. Don't care too much about it, whether it is made well or not is the only criterion for measuring the movie. ”

For the understanding of the melody, Bai Yuhan has his own understanding.

The main theme movies before domestic films, such as "Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare", were all very good-looking, and he liked to watch these films on film and television channels when he was a child. However, I don't know if it is because after the reform, the material development has been rapid, but the construction of spiritual civilization has been lost, and Chinese society has been completely worshipped.

Laughing at poverty and not laughing at prostitutes.

Movies with noble sentiments and lofty values like "Tunnel War" are no longer popular, on the contrary, as long as there is such a film, they will be immediately scolded bloody.

It's a pity that some directors who shoot the main theme can't keep up with the times, can't understand the market, and are still shooting Gao Daquan and Wei Guangzheng. has led to the main theme of China, one generation is not as good as the next, plus now the construction of spiritual civilization is lost, the ideology is lost, and the ruling is in power. The party itself has various differences.

It makes the masses affected by Internet liberalization unable to keep up with the pace and do not know what to believe.

Money? House? Or the United States?

Everyone doesn't know what to believe anymore, so naturally they no longer like the main theme that is blindly touted. There are even more people who hate it, resolutely resist the main theme, and resolutely boycott domestic films. But China is a big country, with a 5,000-year-old civilization inheritance, there are not too many patriots, as long as there are good domestic films and good themes, there will be no fewer audiences who really come to support.

Therefore, as long as you make a good film firmly, the main theme is not the main theme, and you don't need to think about it at all.

……

With this thought, Bai Yuhan directly rejected the proposal to change the title of the film.

Then the filming continued, and the shooting was divided into two parts, one was an indoor scene, and the other was an outdoor scene. The indoor scene is easy to shoot, and the three protagonists have a long time to get the script, and they also know that this is a heavyweight film, so they don't need to say anything, and they got into it.

Especially Deng Chao, after getting the role of Meng Xiaojun, he was like crazy, imagining himself as Meng Xiaojun, serious when filming, and still kept thinking after filming.

What's even crazier is learning English.

Because the background of the film is New Oriental, New Oriental started by teaching English. Since he wants to play the protagonist well, especially Meng Xiaojun, the only one who has studied in the United States, Deng Chao must have pure English without an accent. For this. The crew arranged five personal teachers to follow Deng Chao every day and teach him English and dialogue.

"Swordsman, how are you listening to my current English......" At the end of the scene, Deng Chao chatted with Bai Yuhan about English surrounded by several teachers.

After saying a large paragraph of inexplicable English, Bai Yuhan yawned and pretended to say: "I still need to continue practicing, a few teachers, don't relax, I need pure American English." Deng Chao, your Xijiang accent needs to be changed. ”

In fact, Bai Yuhan doesn't know any English at all, since he was a child, he has never passed English, and even English level 4 is copied by buying answers. In addition, I didn't touch it much after graduation, and all the things I learned were returned to the teacher, and there will be a little bit of junior high school hello-how-are-you, fine-thank-you, and-you (how are you?). I'm fine, what about you? )…… (To be continued......)

PS: I'm so sorry!

Things have happened one after another in recent days! Can't squeeze in time to code words!

Please forgive me, after a few days the matter is over, you will be able to get up soon!
