Chapter 401: Waterloo?

Both films were not difficult to shoot, and Kasuga's relationship between Hong Kong and Taiwan helped Ning Huan make good use of local resources, although the subjects of these two films seemed strange to others, and most of the actors involved in the filming thought that it was just a fantasy film. Although Taiwan's populist government and Hong Kong's brainless government have shown signs of it, there are even actors who think that the two films shot by Ning Huan are mocking TG, for them, understanding is a tragedy.

After the production of the film was completed, it was not immediately arranged, but was sent to various film festivals, and Kasuga still has a little public relations ability in this regard, but these two films do not seem to attract attention at various European film festivals. Fundamentally, this kind of film is a bit demanding on comprehension, and many Europeans simply don't know what the hell is the street politics of Hong Kong and Taiwanese residents, so it is difficult to understand the subject matter. So they can easily misunderstand that this is a film about the people in these two places rebelling against the tyranny of TG, although the politicians who secretly fan the flames and advocate populist politics are disgusting, and the capitalists who use the political movement to short the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index to make money are also disgusting, but the people of liberal and democratic Europe are still on the side of the people who resist, and together they despise the harm of TG as a behemoth to the people in weak areas. Those with a little bit of brains will understand that these two films are an irony of the so-called "democracy", and of course, it can also be understood as an irony of unqualified democracy. But obviously, if the tone of the whole film is a mockery of street politics, then its political attitude is self-evident.

So, because of the subject matter, the movie did not please the audience because of the theme. The film did not please the judges. But fortunately, democracy in Europe is also a mess, and there are several independent judges who are very interested in these two films, because they see in these two films the shadows of white and black people hidden in the yellow race. As a result, these two films have gained quite a lot at several small film festivals, and Ning Huan even won the title of Best New Director. But at the tall film festival, after public relations, it is just entering the film week.

Then, the subsequent release was a bit miserable. Especially in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, no one watched it at all after it was released, and many people felt that the story didn't know what to say. The mainland simply banned the entry of these two films. Ning Huan was annoyed, and directly sold the copyright of the movie to Haruga, and the Haruga arranged to upload it to the Internet, and the click rate was also very few. Almost all of the people who can be interested in such a subject matter and have a good impression of these two films are prophets. No matter how indifferent Ning Huan was on the surface, he still felt psychologically that he had suffered a fatal blow. Even if Shen Zhenghui comforted him and said that this time he was helping himself to withstand the thunder.

"Don't worry too much, these two films themselves are used to burn money and brush up on prestige, and when the time comes, wait until the time comes. That's a god-like film. Just like "Journey to the West", your name will be written in the history of movies in the future. ”

"Nonsense!" Ning Huan exclaimed, "Of course you have to write my name, I am the screenwriter of 'Magic Apprentice'......" he lowered his voice, "...... One. ”

"Yes, the series 'Apprentice of Magic' is obviously going to be a record," Shen pouted, "and other film series will not see any hope of breaking this record in the short term." And with the continued filming of the prequel, this record is constantly being updated. Shen Zhenghui smiled. If the prequel is completed, I estimate that the entire series will grossed more than $10 billion at the box office," he laughed, "and I'm too embarrassed to calculate the revenue of a Pandora-format disc of about the same size." ”

"Wow......" Ning Huan stared at Shen Zhenghui, "I think your life's achievements have been brushed up." ”

"yes, so I'm just going to pay you to make a movie. As long as you like. He spread his hands, "You certainly don't believe what my plans for my next movie are." ”

"The Resurrection War is all in the Third Reich?"

"That's a eunuch book," Shen Zhenghui pouted, "and I don't want to play a side game with the whole world." "War 1938" is enough. But you're keen, and you know I'm interested in pre-World War II. ”

This time it was Ning Huan's turn to pout, "You must be interested in World War II!" He stabbed Shen Zhenghui, "What? Are you really going to continue adapting the web novel script? In other words, Penguin and C.D. are now entering the online literature world in advance, digging into your corner, swallowing up small websites, and you continue to dig deep into the upstream of your entertainment industry? ”

"They are really annoying," Shen Zhenghui scratched his head, "but the so-called upstream of the entertainment industry is upstream after all, and it depends on how the middle and lower reaches are connected. Pandora's Market is in my hands! I won't mix the hard bits and pieces of the web game and online game market. They continue to connect with the film and television industry, the Pandora format is also in my hands, China Film is my ally, the theater chain has something to do with me, and I don't need to worry about it! ”

"Damn, you layout!" Ning Huan spat out, "Then what if you fancy which copyright?" ”

"Contact the author directly, and when the time comes, they will not obediently hand it over? The overlord clause is also what they call the overlord clause to the author, let's insert it, you see if he dares to sue you for copyright at that time, that kind of contract, I will sue one by one. Shen Zhenghui snorted twice, "The copyright lawsuits of several TV series of ATV were settled out of court in the end, if they haven't changed their minds, they probably know how to mix in the industry now." ”

Ning Huan raised his eyebrows.

"In addition," Shen Zhenghui snorted, "Have you heard about ATV's shareholding in Jinjiang Novel Network?" ”

"Damn, what are you ......" Ning Huan opened his mouth wide, "This can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!" ”

"I'll do the same thing as burning money!" Shen Zhenghui laughed, "It's not too late to burn now." He glanced at Ning Huan, "Do you have any plans for the future?" If it's okay, why don't you come to me as an assistant director, I have a good project to burn money. ”

"No!" Ning Huan looked very assertive, "I've already made up my mind." ”

"Go back and write the script for the TV series? Or is it a script for a Japanese movie? Or go back to Hong Kong to make a movie? ”

"Neither," Ning Huan shook his head. Seriously, he said, "I'm going to South Korea." ”

"Huh?" Shen Zhenghui squinted, "Do you have a good impression of plastic surgery girls?" ”

"Miss Fukuda told me that there is a film studio in South Korea," Ning Huan said with interest, "I told her before. I would like to study and do an internship in Korea. ”

"Not Hollywood?" Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised.

"It's not." Ning Huan put on a serious posture, "I'm more interested in Korean erotic movies, and I like that style very much." He pouted and said, "Hollywood movies are not interesting now," he glanced at Shen Zhenghui, "Look at you, you vomited when you filmed "Magic Apprentice", right?" If it weren't for the six consecutive filming of the main sequel, which was stretched out for you like "Harry Potter", you wouldn't have been able to stick to the first part of the prequel at all. ”

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes.

"So I'm going to find a subject that I like." Ning Huan showed a thoughtful expression. "At first, I thought I could shoot anything, but when I made these two films in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the more I made them, the more disgusting I felt, although there was a bit of a bad taste, but the movie itself was simply not happy." He licked his lips, "So in the end, I found out that erotic movies were more stimulating to my work." ”

"You're just lazy," Shen Zhenghui narrowed. "In your last life, I didn't force you to finish your novel, and it was impossible to finish it. In this life, again. If it weren't for you, you wouldn't have finished writing the script. He took a deep breath, "So you're just an excuse if you end up losing interest in erotica?" Do you want me to send someone to follow you behind your ass and be your producer? ”

"This will definitely not be a eunuch." Ning Huan swore that "what I like the most is Kim Ki-duk's style, with a little sexy tone." The best. ”

"Then why don't you make adult movies in Japan, we also lack directors who can tell stories well!" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

"This Japanese style is too bad and lacks subtlety." Ning Huan's paw said vigorously, "And Japanese actors are really not good, they are not a system at all." ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little speechless for a while. "So I'm going to South Korea."

"Yes," Ning Huan looked resolute, "I must mix with Ding Du. Ballas's status. ”

That's not a very high status! Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, and then said, "Whatever you want." ”

"yes, I think I can convert the movie to Pandora format when the time comes, so I won't lose money." Ning Huan patted his chest and said.

"You're really good at finding a way back."

"By the way, what's your next film project?" Ning Huan asked, "Could it be that you are really going to make a time-traveling TV series, or a modern military theme?" This simply can't be judged. ”

"I have a lot of money, so I shoot it and watch it myself."

"Really?" Ning Huan looked disbelieving, "Who is so lucky to be taken by you this time?" ”

"Have you ever watched Red Dawn?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Huh? Do you mean that movie that sucks, or that novel that isn't very good? Isn't it already a remake? He said with some pity, "I also hope that China can really act as a villain in the movie." He blinked, "Could it be that you want to remake it again?" ”

"Not really." Shen Zhenghui smacked his lips, "I'm talking about that novel." ”

"Isn't it, what can that dry novel do? Besides, this theme is simply impossible to release. Ning Huan was a little surprised, "You want to make a TV series?" ”

"In fact, while the radio and television have not yet reacted, and the approval power of online video programs is still on the website, I took the opportunity to open up the influence." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and said, "Of course, you can put it on the Japanese website casually, and then if the mainland is interested, you can also come out and watch it." ”

"Really, fake." Ning Huan looked incredulous, "You won't be able to recover the cost at all if you publish it online!" He tilted his head, "With your filming requirements and the scenes of this novel, I don't know how much money it will cost." ”

"So that's what makes money, willful." Shen Zhenghui was a little proud, "I'm also happy to lose money." ”

"No," Ning Huan looked skeptical, "You must have a purpose, and you won't just invest in a project that loses money." ”

"You're thinking too much."

"You just talk about it, novels like "Red Dawn" don't ...... at all" Ning Huan showed a thoughtful expression, touched his chin, and asked with some hesitation, "You don't really want to speculate, do you?" He was a little puzzled, "Do you still need to do this?" ”

"You think of me like that?"

"Nonsense," Ning Huan scratched his head, "If it was you in your previous life, you might have wasted money like this if you won the 350 million lottery." Well, no, if you won the 350 million lottery, you wouldn't be such a waste of money, you wouldn't have made movies at all in your last life. ”

"So I can't have some ideals and pursuits?"

"I think that with your status, ideals and pursuits will not be so unrealistic."

"Maybe I've betrayed my class? I am still a communist fighter at heart. ”

"So you have a monopoly in the capitalist world?"

"I'm just uniting with monopolies in the capitalist world, this is power! The goal is still socialism. ”

"You just." Ning Huan shook his head, "That Liu Gongzi got on your thief ship like this?" He knows what you're going to do and won't be scared to death, right? ”

"You underestimate others too much," Shen Zhenghui's eyes were blazing, "so many well-known remarks didn't scare others to death!" I can only use revolutionary propaganda against counter-revolutionary propaganda. ”

"To others, maybe it's just the opposite."

"Then just put the revolution in quotation marks." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "Actually, of course I am prepared," there was still a bit of smugness in his tone, "I actually have someone to endorse," Shen Zhenghui turned his hands and said, "The first thirty years and the next thirty years can't negate each other!" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course, sometimes it can't be denied." Shen Zhenghui touched his chin and said, "It was really interesting to play the song "Showa Restoration" and "Thousand Honzakura" in Japan in the twenties," he admittedly said, "I am very fascinated by the part where Kita Yihui made a revolution in Japan, and I always feel that if it is filmed, it will have a special feeling." ”

"So the revolution in China is a foreshadowing?"

"That's not it," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "The old China of the Manchu era, if it is described with a cold lens, it is also quite emotional and ironic. ”

"You're a bad taste." Ning Huan had to admit. (To be continued......)
