Chapter 122: Xiao Yang wants to make a short film

In Kyoto in July, even as it approaches evening, the weather is still unstoppably hot.

The premiere of "Crazy Stone" was still selected in the cinema where the premiere of "Huo Yuanjia" last time was chosen, but this time there was no special ceremony like last time, except for the arrival of everyone who could arrive at the Yuquan family, Lin Yuquan just sent an invitation to his friends in the entertainment industry who are currently in Kyoto, inviting people who are free to come over and cheer.

The premiere started at seven o'clock, and before six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuquan was already standing at the door of the cinema with Ning Hao and Xiao Yang, ready to welcome the celebrity guests.

Many people who came to watch the movie recognized Lin Yuquan and said hello to him, and after buying movie tickets, they simply stood not far away, watching and waiting for the acting stars who are said to be coming in a while.

Because most celebrities are used to rushing to the scene in time, it's still early now, and it's actually boring for three big men to wait there.

"Let's talk for a while! Yuquan, Brother Hao, have you watched entertainment news in the past two days, Wu Yusen is coming back to make a movie. Xiao Yang said mysteriously.

"Do you think I have that boring thing right now?" Ning Hao rolled his eyes at Xiao Yang, he was so busy with the release and promotion of "Crazy Stone" during this time.

"No, it's rare to have time, I'm resting at home, what movie is Director Wu going to make? Is it the "Battle of Red Cliffs" mentioned in last year's report? Lin Yuquan shook his head.

He is not surprised that Wu Yusen returned to China to make movies, although in more than ten years in Hollywood, he has become the most successful Chinese director in Hollywood with the great success of "Changing Face" and "Mission Impossible 2". But the box office fiasco of the subsequent "Wind Whisperer" not only directly directed the once glorious Hollywood movie king MGM went bankrupt, but also fell to the bottom.

And then the director's "Memory Rift" did not improve much, which directly directed the Hollywood film company almost lost confidence in his investment, in fact, after filming "Memory Crack", he has not had a new work in the past two years, if it is a small cost investment, it is fine, but if it is a production of 50 or 60 million US dollars, no film company is willing to take such a risk.

So it's normal for him to come back to film, after all, he has created countless glorious memories in Asia, of course, this can also be regarded as a helpless move to defeat Maicheng, because only here are investors who are confident in him and willing to invest, he also needs to prove himself here, and then return to Hollywood again.

"I know you don't know, you two are still directors, you don't care about the dynamics of the entertainment industry at all, that's Wu Yusen, his return will definitely have a huge impact on the Chinese film industry, and even affect the current box office pattern of mainland films, but Yuquan, you guessed right this time, Wu Yusen is going to shoot "The Battle of Red Cliffs", don't you think it's strange, because he originally planned to shoot this movie next year. Although Wu Yusen said in the interview that it was because of the acceleration of the preparation process of the movie, in my opinion, it was not because Yuquan you took the lead and filmed the Battle of Chibi that he was in a hurry to shoot, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that after you hyped up the Battle of Chibi, with the help of people's curiosity about the two of you's movies, to make more box office. Xiao Yang shook his head and said, faintly revealing his hostility towards Wu Yusen.

"Don't say, China Film Group is a good idea this time, after the release of our movie, if the table is exciting, then the audience will naturally look forward to Wu Yusen's version of "The Battle of Red Cliffs", if the shooting is bad, in a scolding, people will definitely look forward to his movie more, in this way, no matter how "Red Cliff" is performed, Wu Yusen can be invincible, at least don't worry about the box office. Oh, it seems that Yuquan is a big Yali Mountain, and what's worse is that now that your movie has been filmed, there is no way to remedy it, you can only watch such a situation happen but can't do anything, this trick is really high. Ning Hao sighed.

"I know what you said, but it is not so easy to beat my films, and after all, we are the first to be released, no matter what his box office is, in fact, it has nothing to do with us, at most it is the media and the public's discussion, they talk about it! We just need to be ourselves. Lin Yuquan smiled indifferently, he admired John Woo's directorial talent and past achievements very much, but this time John Woo miscalculated, and he didn't know if it was his idea, or China Film drove ducks to the shelves, and was forced to be helpless, but no matter who made the decision, after the release of "Red Cliff", they will be under tremendous pressure, and they may face a dilemma of riding a tiger.

"Yuquan is right, we don't need to be afraid of them, see who has the last laugh." Xiao Yang, who participated in the filming of "Red Cliff" throughout the process, is full of confidence in Lin Yuquan.

"Also, we are not as weak as they imagined, and maybe in the end they will regret the current shooting arrangement." Ning Hao grinned.

"Hehe, that's for sure." Lin Yuquan smiled lightly: "By the way, Xiao Yang, how did you arrange it next?" Do you want to go to the crew of "I Am Special Forces" to continue to be an assistant director or write the script with peace of mind and prepare to be a director officially? ”

"Yuquan is not a director this time, what are you going to do as an assistant director, I think you should try." Ning Hao nodded.

"To tell you the truth, I just had this idea, some time ago, I met a musician friend, chatted with him, and I came to inspiration, and conceived a musical movie "Memoirs of a Male Geisha", which is very funny." Xiao Yang said dancingly.

"If you really want to make a movie, how much investment do you need for this film?" Lin Yuquan asked without thinking.

"Twenty or thirty thousand is enough, why do you two have such expressions, don't believe it, hehe, I didn't say that I made a regular movie like yours, I just made a short film a few minutes long, just like an ordinary music MV, incorporating an interesting story into the song, and I thought about it, and when the dawning network is launched, I will put it on it and play it." Xiao Yang smiled with a smile.

"Then if you don't say it earlier, it will make me excited in vain." Lin Yuquan glared at him.

"What do you think, I'm going to practice first, I don't have the two of you, I've always thought I'm amazing, but after meeting you, my self-confidence is almost gone, I'm just trying to figure out guò like this, see if my idea works, if it works, then prepare for a formal movie, since it's a practice, of course, it can't cost tens of millions to get it, don't talk about that, how about you help me analyze and analyze my idea?" Xiao Yang then excitedly talked about the story content of his short film.

"It is said that people should not be good-looking, you guy is definitely not in this ranks, Sensei said, it is really funny, it may seem too exaggerated to make a movie, but if it is an online short film, it is definitely very suitable, and it will definitely be popular with netizens after it is launched on Shuguang.com." Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes, he usually likes to watch comedies, otherwise he wouldn't like Zhou Xingchi so much.

"Well, it's okay to practice, but it's not good to be a movie route you want to take in the future, strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to the category of comedy genre films, but it belongs to the nature of spoofs, spoof comedy, people may be very happy when they are entertained, but it is difficult for you to let them spend money to watch it in the cinema, although the United States' "Screaming" series of spoof horror movies is a good example, but it is undoubtedly unrealistic to achieve this in China, at least not now, in terms of intersection, the current domestic movie ticket price is relatively expensive, People feel that going to the cinema to see such a movie is not worth the ticket price, which is why people prefer big-budget zuò movies. Ning Hao said.

"I know, I don't think about it that much, I just want to shoot something I like now, and it makes me happy." Xiao Yang had a happy smile on his face.

"Actually, that's good! But even if it's a few minutes of short films, the effect you shoot with 20,000 or 30,000 must be rough, so let's give you 100,000 first, not enough to add, if you want to shoot, let's shoot according to the normal movie specifications, even if you say it's a MV, we have to make a beautiful MV, anyway, what you need most after the dawning network is launched is high-quality content, and such a short film is what you need most to attract users in the early stage. Lin Yuquan immediately made a decision.

"Hehe, that's great, 100,000 words, I can definitely shoot it very well." Xiao Yangle blossomed, he was originally prepared to pay out of his own pocket with that friend, and with sufficient funds, he could also do it freely.

"Don't be happy too early, you'll cry then, you must know that I also made hundreds of MVs to get to where I am today." Ning Hao smiled meaningfully at Lin Yuquan.

"Well, indeed, shoot well, Dawning needs you." Lin Yuquan patted Xiao Yang's shoulder.

"Do you have friends like that?" Xiao Yang didn't understand the meaning of the two people's words, and immediately wailed.

Not far from the front of several people, a group of media reporters were also chatting about the industry.

"Zhang Yi is here." I don't know who shouted, the chatting media reporter hurriedly put on a shooting posture and looked at Zhang Yimou who came slowly.
