Chapter 182: No Man's Land

After Chen Xi and Ning Hao talked about things like the development of Chinese films, what they said was like a wild horse, and they began to run wildly, and they also had a feeling that they couldn't stop.

Hearing what Chen Xi said, and hearing the seemingly incredible number of 10 billion, Ning Hao did not refute it, but just nodded: "Yes, I have always felt that the era of 10 billion will not be too far away from us, and now our box office is doubling too fast, and it is estimated that it will be faster and faster in the future!" Not to mention the fact that there are so many movie theaters being built all the time......"

Chen Xi nodded: "That's it!" ”

Ning Hao said: "What kind of film is your "Embroidered Spring Knife"? I'm really interested, although there are a lot of media reports now, there is basically no specific core content, and there is a little core thing in the middle that is not much involved, so what will your film look like? ”

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's an action movie, I worked hard to improve the plot, but there will be many loopholes in the plot...... In terms of plot, it definitely can't compare with your film. ”

Ning Hao smiled and shook his head, and then said, "I actually envy you the most now." ”

"What's there to envy about this!"

"Because your film is basically completely in control of yourself, you can shoot whatever you want, so you can keep making what you want to shoot...... But I still do! It's quite difficult, not to mention the investors and film companies, even if the audience is difficult to reconcile, it makes me feel that now I can only try to choose a relatively safe genre, instead of wanting to take the risk and try to develop a new genre! ”

When he said this, Ning Hao's face carried a real loss, this loss was definitely not fake, Chen Xi also remembered something, and at that moment, he asked, "Then what movie do you have now." Want to shoot but can't? ”

Ning Hao glanced at Chen Xi, and suddenly felt some hope, and said, "What do you mean......?" ”

There was expectation in this guy's eyes, but Chen Xi shook his head: "No matter what I say, I have to listen to what you say first." ”

Ning Hao had no choice but to nod, and then said, "Okay...... In fact, this is also a ...... I've already mentioned a project that is likely to hit the line and I've been pushed down a few times, and I don't know if I'll be able to make that film next...... Even from a certain point of view, I made "Crazy Racing" in the hope that I could make that movie because of "Crazy Racing". ”

Chen Xi said: "What kind of movie do you want to make? Why is it so hard? ”

Ning Hao glanced at Chen Xi and said, "I want to make a film about what happened in the no-man's land of the western wilderness, and I also plan to call the movie "No Man's Land". It's just that a lot of the things involved in it are relatively dark, and anyway, there aren't too many people who agree with my project now. ”

Chen Xi nodded in his heart, sure enough, this is the film!

In fact, in a sense, "No Man's Land" has stepped out of the trap of sub-threaded narrative before Ning Hao, giving his film a new form of expression and breaking through the original framework.

It's just that this film has been suppressed for review reasons after it was filmed, and it was not really released until five years after the filming was completed, and Ning Hao was also forced to re-shoot the-like "Gold Robbery". As a result, the leading Cheng dΓΉ in the middle of "No Man's Land" and "The Great Gold Robbery" is really not an order of magnitude.

No wonder!

No wonder Ning Hao thinks that this film is more difficult to make, in fact, from Chen Xi's point of view, he knows that this movie must be quite difficult to make. It's quite cumbersome to review this big hurdle.

At the moment, Chen Xi also said: "Such a movie sounds like there are some problems in terms of review...... I've always felt that other areas could be a little more lenient when making movies, but I really can't be sloppy when it comes to censorship. Because once a movie can't be reviewed, it's basically scrapped! ”

Chinese movies, probably like this. After all, after so many years, Jia Zhangke's popularity in Europe and his continuous awards, so his films are no problem to be distributed in Europe, but for most directors, if their films can't be reviewed domestically, it basically means that they are wasted and finished.

Of course, according to the timeline in Chen Xi's head, although "No Man's Land" was postponed for four years before it was finally released, the film also got a pretty good box office after its release, which is not unrelated to the four years of snow hiding, but for these things, Chen Xi feels that even if he can't get too many economic benefits, he can support it.

In Chen Xi's soul before, he knew a director, and the director's team was mainly making horror movies...... The cost of filming and editing of a horror thriller is about 500,000 yuan, and then with the publicity and distribution cost of 1.5 million yuan, it can basically get a box office of six or seven million after its release, and if you are lucky, you can even exceed 10 million, and you can easily make a sum of money.

However, for a long time, the director was also very uneasy, so after making a few such movies, he would also try his best to shoot even literary films without any economic benefits, hoping to neutralize it. It is clear that not everyone willingly lets go of all their integrity.

In fact, this has a certain amount in common with Chen Xi's mentality...... Chen Xi is doing plagiarism now, although it is said that this is plagiarism in the future and will not be known by others, but the problem is that if he does too much of such things, the guilt in his heart will indeed appear, and he also needs to find something to neutralize.

Anyway, he thinks that if he can support some movies with a good reputation but a bad box office, it can be regarded as being able to neutralize it a little, and Chen Xi is also trying his best to do this, and even he will let the company directly shoot some truly valuable literary films, and "No Man's Land", which can fit this feeling, in fact, does not lose money, Chen Xi is still very willing.

Of course, if you really invest in this movie, you won't be able to get back your investment in the short term, which makes Chen Xi feel that he must be cautious.

At that moment, Chen Xi said to Ning Hao: "That's it, if there is a script for this film of yours, you can show it to me, if I think it's good, in terms of investment, we Deep Space Film and Television can also be responsible for part of it!" When Ning Hao heard this, he knew that he had really gotten an unexpected joy.

He only talked to Chen Xi before, and he didn't expect that Chen Xi would really promise himself and be willing to provide him with these things.

"Great! Thank you so much! Ning Hao suddenly became a little excited, as for the question of the script...... Of course, he knew that it was impossible for Chen Xi to do something as obvious and easy to expose as stealing the script, not to mention, Ning Hao is now a person from China Film, and the book is also from China Film, so Chen Xi will not be so bold.

For this movie, when it comes to investment, I am more worried that there will be no return of money, if Chen Xi is really willing to inject capital, it will really be a good thing for Ning Hao.

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "I still have to read the script or something, and the funds I can provide are also limited, after all, our company doesn't have much money now." ”

"That's enough!" Ning Hao is really happy!

Chen Xi chatted with Ning Hao a lot of things next, after the previous thing, Ning Hao is really much more enthusiastic now.

However, Chen Xi is also grasping that he will not delay Ning Hao's filming time too much.

After coming out from here, Chen Xi also continued to negotiate with the company's people in Xiamen, and the negotiation was still about the issue of film copyright, after doing these things, Chen Xi returned to Zhonghai non-stop, and then he prepared most of the things, and arranged the work of some companies in the next place, and then flew directly to Beijing, "Big Man Gets Married" was filmed in Beijing!

Chen Xi's idea of "The Big Man Gets Married" is to hope that this film can be launched in the autumn and winter, and the TV series within this schedule are generally high-quality dramas, which is also the general rule of domestic TV dramas.

And compared to "Latent", the preparation time for "Big Man to Get Married" is not too short, from now on, the filming will be completed in early August, it will definitely be cut out in mid-August, and it will be launched after September, and there is really no problem if you want to catch up with the autumn and winter boutique files.

In terms of Chen Xi's popularity now, a press conference will definitely be held before the filming of "Big Man Gets Married", and there will be a lot of reporters who can come to the scene, and everyone's enthusiasm for Chen Xi is still quite high.

The launch conference of "Big Man Gets Married" will be officially held in Beijing on June 19th, and many media who have got the news have already been ready to move, gearing up, and can't wait to arrive at the scene as soon as possible to watch this press conference.

Before the launch of "Big Men Get Married", Chen Xi finally got a piece of news that should be considered good news: "Raid" has been admitted to the Toronto International Film Festival and shortlisted for the competition list of "Midnight Madness Unit". Although this opportunity may not be successful, there is already a brick and stone to step on.

After "The Raid" has such a shortlist, the next thing has become a pure display of cinematic impact!

Although in the middle, in order to get this place, Chen Xi and they also spent a lot of money, but "Raid" already has a platform to show itself, and what Chen Xi has to do next is to wait for the official screening of "Raid" at the Toronto Film Festival.
