Chen Shaoyi sighed: ""Best Partner" is a big production in Hong Kong, but for Hollywood movies, this investment is really nothing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Brother Yi, don't say that, although there is still a gap between Hong Kong and the United States, as long as Hong Kong continues to develop, it is still very likely to catch up with Hollywood. In fact, Brother Yi is doing a very good job, and now the investment is getting bigger and bigger, giving Hong Kong's producers a good start, high investment drives high box office, there is such a big interest space in it, I believe that in the future, there will be more and more producers in Hong Kong to shoot big productions, so that they can slowly catch up with Hollywood. Chen Qixin distinguished Chen Shaoyi.
Hong Kong wants to catch up with Hollywood, which is easier said than done. Forget it, why do you want to do so much, take one step at a time, and the high-rise buildings have to rise from the ground.
Chen Shaoyi shook his head slightly, dispelled the melancholy that had just sprung up in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ah Xin, don't mention these things yet." When I was in the United States last time, I said that when you were on vacation, if you had time, you would come to Hong Kong to help out in our company, and by the way, I would also give myself an internship. If you have no objection, this time I want you to join the crew of "Best Partner". "Best Partner" is the biggest investment of our Phoenix Pictures this year, and director Xu Ke is also one of the directors of the Hong Kong New Wave, although Director Xu is still young, but his strength is really strong, you stay in his crew, and follow others to learn hard, to see how your theory is different from other people's practice. ”
Seeing that Chen Shaoyi arranged for a big crew like "Best Partner" as an internship place, Chen Qixin was still very happy. There are not many opportunities like this, and you will definitely be able to learn a lot of useful things in such a crew.
Chen Qixin smiled excitedly: "Brother Yi, I have no objection. It's all up to you, so when will I go to the crew of "Best Partner"? ”
Seeing that Chen Qixin looked a little impatient, Chen Shaoyi smiled and said, "If you are ready, you can go over tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll report to the crew tomorrow, that's great. Brother Yi. Come, I'll toast you. Chen Qixin said happily and drank the red wine in front of him in one gulp.
Chen Shaoyi saw this. also smiled and accompanied Chen Qixin to have a drink.
Fang Chao saw Chen Qixin put down his wine glass, and he was also happy to smile with Chen Qixin: "Ah Xin, we have come to Hong Kong this time, and we have gained a lot." Come. Brother, I'll have a drink with you. ”
Chen Qixin is on the rise at the moment. Naturally, Fang Chao's toast was not refused, and he had a toast with Fang Chao.
After Chen Qixin put down the wine glass again, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Yi, do you have any plans for this summer?" You're a great director, shouldn't you want to make another film? ”
When Chen Shaoyi heard this, his hand holding the chopsticks paused in the air, and then put it down. sighed: "Even if I have any plans, it's useless, and I've been delayed by a major event this summer." ”
Chen Qixin asked curiously, "Brother Yi." What is it that bothers you so much? ”
Wu Junru heard Chen Qixin ask, and replied for Chen Shaoyi: "Brother Xin, you may not know when you first came to Hong Kong that the recent news of a stock market crash in Hong Kong is boiling, and Brother Yi must be worried about this matter." ”
"Stock market crash?" Chen Qixin asked in surprise, this is really a big deal. Not only Chen Qixin, but Fang Chao also expressed great surprise at this, even in the United States, the stock market crash is a very terrible thing.
Chen Shaoyi nodded, and told the two of them about the stock market crash again.
After talking about the stock market crash, Chen Shaoyi sighed again: "The stock market crash is coming, I can't go anywhere, I must be in charge of Phoenix TV." And the impact of the stock market crash on the box office is certainly not small, even if I want to make a film, this time is not very suitable. ”
Chen Qixin absorbed Chen Shaoyi's words into his mind, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Brother Yi, in fact, if there is a stock market crash in Hong Kong, you can't make a film. ”
Seeing Chen Qixin say this, Chen Shaoyi was a little curious and asked, "Ah Xin, what do you mean by that, do you have any ideas?" ”
Chen Qixin sorted out his thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, I do have some ideas. At present, there are two markets for Chinese films, in addition to Hong Kong, and the other is Taiwan. Although Hong Kong was affected by the stock market crash, the box office will be affected, but Taiwan's film market should not be too volatile. So I think Phoenix Pictures can take advantage of this time to enter the Taiwan market, which is not a way to reduce losses, and if it is done well, Phoenix Pictures' strength should be able to reach a higher level. ”
Chen Qixin's words made Chen Shaoyi suddenly enlightened, yes, the current film market in Hong Kong has been affected by the stock market crash, and it is difficult for Phoenix Pictures to do much in Hong Kong, so why not change your thinking and let Phoenix Pictures break out of the world in Taiwan.
The more Chen Shaoyi thought about it, the more he felt that what Chen Qixin said was too reasonable and predictable, and it suddenly opened up Chen Shaoyi's thoughts.
Chen Shaoyi began to think about how Phoenix Pictures should enter Taiwan, blockbusters like "Best Partner" are not suitable for the soil of Taiwan, and what is really suitable for Taiwan is literary films. Due to the problems left over from history, many intellectuals fled to Taiwan, and just like the ancient scholars, these intellectuals have had a great impact on Taiwan's economy, culture, and entertainment.
Because of this, literary films in Taiwan are more popular, and the market for literary films is also unprecedentedly prosperous. Therefore, if Phoenix Pictures wants to enter the Taiwan film market, it must also use literary films to open the way, rather than commercial blockbusters. And Taiwan currently has a film festival dedicated to awarding awards for outstanding films, that is, the Golden Horse Awards, if Phoenix Pictures' literary films can win one or two awards at the Golden Horse Awards, it will be even better, and it will definitely be able to open Taiwan's film market all at once.
As for filming literary films, this is not difficult for Chen Shaoyi, before Chen Shaoyi made a "Next Stop Queen" that is somewhat biased towards literary films, this "Next Stop Queen" is still being screened in Hong Kong, although it was affected by the report of the stock market crash during this time, but after all, the stock market crash has not yet come, and the impact on the box office is not too great. Chen Shaoyi filmed "The Next Stop Queen", and he can be regarded as having some experience in literary films, plus Chen Shaoyi still has countless mature films in his mind as references, so it is not a problem to make an excellent literary film at all.
