Chapter 80: The End of 2006
"Yes, but you have to find a more mature company." Chen Xi's right hand stretched out three fingers and rubbed his chin.
Push hand company, there are a lot of years, but if things are exposed, it will be good.
Before fame can enter the virtuous circle of word of mouth, some means, with a negative test, are slightly inconsistent, and it is easy to capsize.
You have to be careful.
Of course, with the current fame of "Latent", after it is broadcast on TV, Chen Xi will not even stir up the hype, if this hype is added, it will inevitably become famous.
The four words of strategic layout, the current Chen Xi, is far from reaching, and it is a tactical layout, which is a bit of a lift.
But it's a thing that needs to be done.
The success of "Latent" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" made Chen Xi see that it is feasible to gradually grasp a lever to pry the future with the memory in his mind.
In the next ten years, Chen Xi will leave Chen Xi's memory, which was the best era and the worst era.
Because, this is the golden decade of the mainland market, the box office market, from more than one billion a year to 40 billion a year, the single film box office, from 200 million is extremely exciting, to a single box office of 2 billion......
But this is also the time when Chinese films are in full swing.
There are very few good works that appear every year, most of them are addicted to the light and shadow of drunken money, and they can go to the cinema as long as they can make money.
Chen Xi's most recent goal is gradually being achieved: to have fame, gain a firm foothold, and get involved in the film industry!
Therefore, Chen Xi began to think about his long-term goal: to make Chinese films better.
As this goal, first of all, he has to have the right to speak.
What is the right to speak? That is the influence on the entire film market, and even the control of zhì power.
In this regard, even Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, they are more of a promoter of the Chinese film market, and they have no control over the Chinese film market.
Among them, Feng Xiaogang's "Love What I Love" sentimental work "Reminiscences of 1942" at the box office Waterloo also changed the trajectory of his life. Therefore, this kind of construction is weak, and it can be imagined.
Where does the control come from?
Market, authority!
The market is the cinema chain, China, the cinema chain and the production company, entangled, and there is no legal forced separation.
Authority, that is the power of control, the current authority, is a certain bureau, is the middle shadow.
Starting from these two aspects, you can make your future insight a strategic and guiding thing.
…… But this qiē, now for a young director who has just filmed "Latent", there is always a feeling of lying in the mire and looking up at the starry sky.
This qiē is too far apart.
Fortunately, between the quagmire and the starry sky, a heavenly path has been established.
This road to heaven may be extremely difficult, but once successful, he will reach a position where both his personal and ideal are realized.
Chen Xi is taking a step.
…… A million dollars, no joke.
When it is really implemented, there are indeed 680,000 yuan, which is spent on publicity.
Other hype, most of them are like headless flies, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but this promoter company is really not covered, hype, from scratch, from small to large, and self-contained, little by little, like sesame seeds blooming, rising steadily.
On the Internet, Chen Xi appeared in the newspapers.
In the traditional media, there are more and more places mentioning Chen Xi, and some "Latent" reviews with the nature of advertorials are published......
In the winter of 2006, it became more and more dense in the steep cliffs, and snowflakes could often be seen flying on the streets of Jiangning.
Chen Xi strolls the streets.
At the beginning, a rookie director with inflated self-confidence hoped to attract the attention of passers-by on the streets of Jiangning, by using guò dry cough and pretending to be posturing.
If someone says, "Wow, Director Chen!" ”
Then he will be relieved, and his heart will be sweeter than honey.
Unfortunately, this did not happen.
The lost Director Chen still went to the streets, but not for fame, but for the sake of this way.
On the streets of Jiangning at this time, the sycamore leaves are scattered, dripping and rotating in the wind, around the ground, and sometimes a light rain falls.
As he passed by the Holocaust Memorial, he could feel the yin aura here, which was even deeper in the cold of winter.
"Rest in peace...... Maybe one day, I will be able to make a movie about you that the world can accept. Chen Xi recalled two completely different films in his heart.
Nanjing! Nanking! "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
The first part, Lu Qi's work, and the second part, Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou's films, in the world, have a lot of criticism, and some people also think that he combines sex and massacre, next to the gimmick, it is blasphemy. But whether it is Chen Xi or Chen Xi, they all think that this film is well made.
Lu Qi's work...... It's a bit of a depressing point.
Because the movie made by this person pays attention to the so-called "humanity" of Japanese soldiers, in a vain attempt to dig out the so-called humanity behind a group of beasts.
In Chen Xi's evaluation, this is just a number of classics forgetting ancestors, and it is a real pain of the consumer nation.
Indeed, some people will feel that there is nothing new in always starting from pain. But there are some things that cannot be new or distorted. He is not qualified to discover the good side of the so-called executioner in front of the hundreds of thousands of tortured souls. He is not qualified to forgive a herd of cattle in the place of this evil spirit.
Japan is a country of contradictions, cruel and kind, advanced and backward, arrogant and inferior...... These may be evaluated elsewhere, but no Chinese is qualified to discover those things in similar movies.
In the commercial success of "Nanjing", Lu Qi lost the beauty of "Ke Ke Xili" and became a narcissist.
…… Thinking of this qiē, Chen Xi was a little stupid for a while.
Movie dreams, movie dreams.
Here, countless smoke clouds are carried.
However, dreams begin with a single step.
On the last day of 2006, Chen Xi called some friends from the TV station, as well as the members of the "Latent" crew who were still in Jiangning, tonight, everyone should not get drunk and not return.
2007 is fast approaching.
The new year is very important for the Chinese film market.
In this year, the total box office and market share of imported films grew explosively, and "Transformers" refreshed people's imagination with a box office of 270 million.
It was also a year full of opportunities.
At this time, Chen Xi's goal is to nail a wedge of his own in the new year.
This wedge will gradually grow and develop.
His first wedge was "Border Storm", this movie, now, Chen Xi's funds are gradually returning, and he also has the ability to start shooting!
