Chapter 641: God-like departments
Montreal's two accolades unexpectedly made the film's overseas market bullish. After the premiere, there were already filmmakers who came to ask, and after the closing ceremony, it soared several times. It refreshes the inherent impression of Chinese independent films, and from the point of view of the exchange forum, it is a work that is innovative, can tell a story, and belongs to the third stage.
The company is very pleased that the original idea is to have one-third of domestic revenue + two-thirds of overseas revenue to ensure the return on investment. In today's art film market, no one has the confidence to turn stones into gold, and they are all walking on thin ice.
For example, "Bullfighting", the film is a good film, but throwing it into the theater is a pounce, and you can only rely on other channels to make up for it. Another example is "Bitter Bamboo Forest", which is more personalized than "Bullfighting", and it is not a work of mass communication at all.
Chu Qing is counting himself as having suffered the consequences, who let him come willfully, of course, the two of them are also ready to lose money.
The company's current route is very clear, one commercial blockbuster + two or three small-budget movies + several commercial dramas every year, they don't play stocks, don't look for financing, they get what they pay for, and they have real skills.
There are good and bad things about this model, and the advantage is that the industrial chain is stable, and you don't have to worry about taking big risks; The disadvantage is that there are fewer resources, and the annual product is fixed, which locks the development prospects.
Like Huayi, it's been a long time since they were clamoring for listing, isn't it just to raise funds and cast a full net?
The two of them are more frightened by the stock thing, and they are always wavering, and their internal opinions are divided into two factions. One faction is headed by Sister Wang, who doesn't like those things in finance; One faction is headed by Yang Fan, and the reason for his flickering is very funny:
You think, as long as the company is listed, the entertainment industry will be linked to the stock market. With the ability of our boss, we will take a golden ball today, and the stock price will rise, and tomorrow we will win an Oscar, and the stock price will rise again. Then you will go to heaven!
Emma, the two of them were boiling with blood when they heard it, but what should they do afterwards, they still had to be calm and calm.
In September, "Bullfighting" was successfully launched, and Huang Bo burst out the desire to perform that he had been holding back for half his life. On the third day of start-up, Guan Hu called Chu Qing, who was incoherent, and finally said: If you don't get an actor, I will be bald for the rest of my life!
Chu Qingte despised it. You don't have any deterrent power? You said that your hair transplant is better than this!
Anyway, no matter what, the two of them are full of confidence in the award-winning attributes of this film, either applauded or applauded, you have to have the same when you make a movie.
"Bullfighting" is no problem, but "Bitter Bamboo Forest" is still difficult to deliver. Yang Shupeng finally got two actors: Hu Jun played Xue 13, and Jiang Wu played Chen Liu. It's just that there was a scene when we were talking, Jiang Wu stupidly took the script to Jiang Wen and showed it, and the goods were eyeing Xue Shisan at a glance. Say I'll act!
Yang Shupeng was very hard, and said Jiang Ye, I promised Hu Jun, don't make it difficult for me. It's a shame that Lao Jiang is not a person who robs a good family. As soon as I heard it, I concentrated on preparing for "Let the Bullets Fly".
When a good actor meets a good role, there is always a heart-scratching emotion. The cost of "Bitter Bamboo Forest" is not high, and both of them have lowered their salaries. There are four main characters in it, as well as a brilliant supporting role, each distinct.
Thereinto. Playing Li Zheng is an old Taiwanese drama bone, Li Liqun. The parrot brother is called Yu Xiaolei, who was born in Chinese opera, which was recommended by Yu Feihong, and she played a small role in "Love Has an Afterlife".
However, Li Zheng's daughter Luo Niang, there has never been a candidate for this role. She is the heroine, and she has a lot of roles, and she must have some kind of original ignorance, youthfulness, and girlish beauty.
…………
In mid-September, Nortel.
The new students have just entered the school, and a group of energetic chicks have not yet adapted to this more advanced living environment, and they seem excited and fearless, chirping in groups and roaring through the campus.
On the road near the gate, a girl with a round face was holding a book and chatting with her best friend. She was promoted to a sophomore year this year, and she felt quite mature, and she looked down on those noisy students.
When her best friend saw her virtue, she knew that she was complaining silently, and couldn't help laughing: "You weren't as good as others last year, what's the matter, you will become an old cadre after a year?" ”
"I'm just annoying them like that, what's the matter!"
The girl said something from the Northeast, pouted slightly, and said, "Hey, did you understand what Teacher Cao said just now?" ”
"I don't understand much, Lao Cao has always been very deep, and I have to go back to read the notes......"
As her best friend spoke, she suddenly looked around sneakily and said in a low voice: "Hey, didn't he win the award a while ago?" I heard that the hospital is going to give a bonus, and there is this amount! ”
The girl saw her compare her fingers and said in surprise: "Can it be so much?" ”
"Why not, the leader is generous this time. And not only the school, but also the investor gave Xiao 30, as well as the bonus of the film festival, which added up to enough for his salary for five years! ”
"Ouch, fifty years has nothing to do with us!"
The girl was not very interested, and only urged her to leave.
Both of them are acting departments, but the courses of the whole school are divided into professional courses and basic courses, and the basic courses include the basics of dramatization, directing, audio-visual language, and film appreciation.
Cao Baoping's coronation in Montreal led to a huge increase in fame, and even the number of auditors doubled.
The two girls got out of class and were about to return to the dormitory, when they just walked to the intersection in front of the gate, they suddenly heard a few whistles from Didi. When I turned my head, it was a Volvo driving by, stopping in front of me and signaling them to go first.
The girl didn't care, but her best friend glanced at the license plate, and suddenly she hurriedly dragged her friend as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and said, "Oh my God!" He's actually coming to school! ”
"Who?" The girl is confused.
"You're a pig's head, who in the entertainment industry doesn't know his car?"
The best friend poked her with hatred, and was about to retrain, when she heard a shout from behind her: "Hey, classmate! ”
When they turned around, they saw a man pressing the window of the car and laughing, "Which department are you from?" ”
"Uh, watch, acting department." The girlfriend stuttered a little.
"Do you know how the literature department goes?"
"Go that way, turn left, go straight, then turn right." The girl also recognized him, but she was very stunned, and showed the way in a serious manner.
"Oh, thank you!"
He thanked him and drove away.
The two girls looked at the car and went away, and their best friend looked disappointed and said, "Just asking for directions!" ”
"What else do you want? Alright, let's go! The girl laughed as she tugged.
……
Of course, Chu Qing didn't ask for directions. He knew the location of the literature department, but he just looked at the girl's bones, and it was not good to ask the name directly, so he excused himself to talk.
He came to Nortel for other important things, and when he arrived at the place, he pedaled upstairs. The Department of Literature is on the third floor, and this thing has just come to the fore, and it happened to bump into Cao Baoping, and people were stunned, and said strangely: "Why are you here?" ”
"Huh. I'm not looking for you anyway! ”
Ya Ya replied with a beating and ran into the second office on the right-hand side. There were four tables inside, three of which were empty, and only one of the young women was sitting.
"Teacher Zhang!" He beckoned.
The other party hurriedly got up, shook hands, and said, "Yo, Mr. Chu, you came early!" ”
"Heh, I'm afraid of delaying your class." He smiled and unceremoniously sat down.
This man's name is Zhang Wei. is an associate professor and writer and screenwriter in the Department of Literature, and the more famous ones like "Life is Beautiful Because of You" and "Talented Men and Women" are all written by her.
The company has opened three dramas this year, and next year's project has not yet been decided. Lu Xiaojia bought more than a dozen IPs, and then Ding Linglin bought a few more. Now he holds a total of fifteen novel adaptation rights.
And Chu Qing picked and chosen, and decided to finish "Du Lala's Promotion" first, after all, it is very hot, and you have to strike while the iron is hot. Not more than ever. is still so unhurried, sooner or later he will be to death.
Durala is a workplace novel that was published last September. In the midst of a depression, 600,000 copies were sold. In terms of workplace competition, life pressure, life confusion, and the hardships caused by the financial turmoil in today's society, Durala is extremely suitable for their spiritual needs.
If you want to adapt it into a TV series, you must not let a man write it, because there is no such thing as a tearing style. The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then got to the point, Chu Qing took out the book and asked, "Have you read this novel?" ”
"I just watched it, and after watching it, I thought, this theme is too suitable for making a film and television drama." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Yo, then the two of us don't coincide."
Chu Qing suddenly felt happy, so it was easy to communicate, so he said: "Let me talk about my thoughts first, the highlight of this book is professional realism, so the script should retain these contents, and try not to use the ......routines of idol dramas."
"Squeak!"
As he was talking, Cao Baoping, who had been turning around the door several times, finally couldn't help but sneak in, and Baba leaned beside him.
He didn't bother to bother, and continued: "In short, we have to respect the IQ of the audience, what a stupid white sweet heroine, a domineering president, a loyal dog male second, and a brain-dead villain!" ”
The words fell, and before Zhang Wei could pick up, Cao Baoping applauded first: "Hey, these nouns are very good!" I don't see it, you have a good ability to generalize! ”
Chu Qing glanced at him, and then said: "Also, it is close to life, you can exaggerate, but don't exaggerate, don't be too cruel, otherwise the General Administration should find trouble......"
"Click!"
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and when he walked to the door of the office, he seemed to see that the door was not closed, so the man pushed it casually and said strangely: "What are you doing...... Ouch, Mr. Chu! Why are you here today? ”
"Teacher Xue, long time no see!" He quickly got up.
It was a woman who came in, slightly older than Zhang Wei, with neat short hair. This is Xue Xiaolu, an associate professor in the Department of Literature, and a writer and screenwriter, whose famous "Don't Talk to Strangers" is her work.
And Chu Qing greeted him simply, and said, "I'll ask Teacher Zhang for a favor and write a notebook." ”
"Durala's Promotion?"
Xue Xiaolu picked up the book on the table, flipped through a few pages casually, and asked, "Is this fun?" ”
"Average, it's too low." Zhang Wei pouted.
"Oh!"
The people immediately lost interest, and asked Cao Baoping again: "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm in pain here!"
Teacher Cao pointed at Chu Qing, acting as if it was the real thing, and lamented: "The ideal young man back then has degenerated like this!" ”
"No, why did I fall?" He was so painful.
"Smack!"
Teacher Cao slapped the broken book and said, "Isn't this called depravity? ”
“……”
He was speechless, and felt that it was a complete mistake to run over Lao Cao when he was at work. And just ten minutes later, he realized that he had made a mistake!
Zhang Wei, Cao Baoping, Xue Xiaolu, and Mei Feng and Zhuang Yuxin, who slipped in after hearing the sound...... Needless to say, the first three don't need to be said, Zhuang Yuxin also knows that as for Mei Feng, hehe, that is the screenwriter of "Purple Butterfly", "Summer Palace", and "Spring Breeze Drunk Night".
Good guy, these five people surrounded him, and four of them started a series of kind conversations with him, mainly focusing on the LOWB painting style of "Chu Qing VS Durala".
You don't have the power to fight back, please, don't you all have to go to class?
In fact, strictly speaking, Chu Qing was born in Chinese opera, and he was very close to Hao Rong and them at first, but as he walked, he suddenly turned onto the road of Nortel.
The friendship between these people is not ordinary, and the Seven Gentlemen version 2.0 drafted the "Independent Film Manifesto" in Zhang Xianmin's office all night. Later, the entire sixth generation was here again with the film bureau, and then there was a general environment in which the ban on literary films was lifted and the sixth generation surfaced.
Chu Qing is a tandem between the official and the film industry, and one of the Seven Gentlemen. Therefore, his popularity in Nortel's literature department is extremely high, and he is like his own family.
As the old saying goes, this is called revolutionary camaraderie. (To be continued.) )
