Chapter 459: The New Power of Cinema

Ning Hao is a person who can't be idle.

He finished filming "Green Meadow" in half a year, and got the post-production. The demand for films with this theme is weak, and it is even said that there is no market at all, so the company has prepared two ways: one is sold to movie channels, and the other is sent to exhibitions.

Similarly, there is also "The Two of Us", both of which are more in line with the aesthetics of East Asians. So Chu Qing thought that when Ma Liwen was finished, he would pack it and send it to the Tokyo Film Festival.

It was only the beginning of the year, and I thought that Ning Hao would have to rest for a while. Who would have thought that she would find the door again, and she still had a script in her hand, called "Crazy Stone".

The original idea of this story came in 2000, when it was impossible to find a money master. Now it's different, someone is like a golden sparkling purdue sentient being, provoking a vote to force the director to arch forward vigorously, and it is too wasteful not to use it.

What's more, Ning Hao is also quite confident and can hold the other party's eyeballs.

Sure enough, Chu Qing didn't wait to turn to the last page before he made a final decision. Slightly surprisingly, he also put forward two requirements: 1, it must be invested and operated in the form of support projects; 2. Join the company.

Ning Hao was a little confused, but then he understood, simply put, it means packaging and listing. However, he was not very disgusted, and even had a hint of snickering joy in hugging his thighs.

As a result, this product became the company's first contracted director.

At the same time, "Crazy Stone" plus the unfinished "The Two of Us", and another "Man on the Road" that took the initiative to hook up. The company has already invested or is preparing to invest in three films, and it can barely start the project.

In fact, there are many worries. It's all out of their own pockets, you get what you pay for, and you don't do the thing of a swollen face and a fat man.

The first two films are familiar, as for "Men on the Road", the director's name is Liu Xiaoning, an actor, this is his debut. The content is relatively simple. tells the story of how a father teaches his son to grow up, but Chu Qingte likes the feelings in it, which is full of primitive wildness and roughness. The kind where male hormones are rampant.

……

On February 25th, we both companies.

Jiang Xiaoju arrived early and opened the largest conference room in advance, which was already arranged to look like a meeting hall. This is the result of the employees' labor last night. It's hard work. Every time there is an event, the men have to move the tables and chairs, and the women have to clean and clean.

And when the event is over, it has to be restored to the way it was. There is no way, who makes the space insufficient, it can only be adjusted artificially.

Today's press conference is very important, and Jiang Xiaoju, as Sister Wang's right-hand man, naturally does not dare to slack off. What a sign-in desk. Microphone, flower arrangement. Red envelopes, etc., must be checked properly.

It wasn't long before it was 8:40. The reporters appeared one by one, all of them were the mainstream media in the capital. There were not many people, and there were more than a dozen chairs, and Yuan Lei, as the queen pen, firmly occupied the top spot.

At nine o'clock, the press conference officially began.

There are a total of six people on the stage, with two bosses in the middle, Sister Wang on the left, and the three directors on the right. Further up, there was a banner and the words were written:

"The Launching Ceremony of the New Power of Cinema."

The name is very simple, and the simplicity is like holding a Yangge conference in the village. Originally, everyone also put forward opinions, saying that the title of "China", "Chinese", or so-and-so sponsor was added in front of it, and it was also imposing to look at it.

Chu Qingquan said no, he just wanted to do something down-to-earth, don't fix those vain heads.

"Alright, let's get started!"

Sister Wang didn't try the microphone, hugged her head and said: "Thank you all for coming to this press conference, it's cold today, and the heating is not too hot." But you all know how efficient we are, and it's OK in 40 minutes at most. ”

"Heh......"

The people below couldn't help but chuckle, this is the truth, the units in the whole capital belong to them.

"You have all the information in your hands, I'll say here, you can take a look first."

Sister Wang took a sip of water and continued: "The so-called new power of film is a support plan for new directors in the mainland, once a year, and there is no limit to the number of places......"

Huh!

The media loves this, and they talk about it directly, without talking about meaning and value. Those are all comments from others, and it is useless to put gold on your face.

"We will follow up all the way, but we will not interfere with the director's decision to give them the most room to play...... Well, what's the problem below, you can show it. ”

Soon, Sister Wang finished reading the manuscript, and the reporter also had a number in her heart, and raised her hand one after another.

Yuan Lei's position was too conspicuous, of course she was the first, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to save Chinese movies?" ”

"Hey!"

Chu Qing immediately interrupted, glanced at her by the way, and said, "Don't hurt me, I never had that thought." I just felt that I had some conditions with the soldiers, and I wanted to come out and do something small. And looking at those good scripts and not being able to find investment, I can't bear it. ”

Yuan Lei pursed her lips and fell down on her own, but Meng Jing stood up again and said, "You just said that it is once a year, how can this be guaranteed?" Is there any possibility of discontinuation? ”

"This is our ideal state, as long as there is a script worth investing in, then there will definitely be no bye. In fact, this year's preparations were too hasty, and our original idea was to hold something similar to an exchange meeting, let those directors and screenwriters come over with their works, and then pull some powerful filmmakers to negotiate on the spot, and sign a contract if they match. However, this format is too complicated and hopefully it will be realized in the future. ”

Fan Xiaoye approached the microphone and answered unhurriedly.

"Do you have any restrictions on how much money you can invest?" Another reporter asked again.

"We estimate the cost and if it's within the company's reach, then invest in full. If it is exceeded, then it will account for a certain proportion, and then contact other filmmakers to see if they can cooperate. ”

"Is this support goal just for newcomers and new works?" A male reporter asked.

"Well, we have a criterion, that is, the director's first three works are all eligible for investment. Because I think a director has to go through at least three movies before he can mature. To put it bluntly, after you finish filming three dramas, if you are not popular, then you really have no talent. And before they became famous, it was the hardest time, and we were happy to help them at this stage. ”

Chu Qing paused, and then said: "Then my personal role is to use my own ability to make some money, and then provide opportunities for these talented directors." At the same time, I also provide my resources to let everyone pay attention to the works of new friends. ”

"Will you sign with them?"

"Well, it depends on both sides. At present, we have only signed Ning Hao, this is our third cooperation, and we have a deep understanding of each other. ”

"Will you two play the starring roles in these three movies?"

Fan Xiaoye looked at her husband and replied: "Of course we will star if there is a suitable one, but we still listen to the director's opinion." ”

When I asked this, it was almost clear.

Subsequently, the reporters teased the three rookies again, and then quickly and effectively called it a day. To be honest, they really don't care too much, because of such a thing as supporting movies, who will do it, let alone you are a small and medium-sized enterprise?

Just looking at those three people, Ma Liwen and Ning Hao are a little famous, Liu Xiaoning is a person all the way, just this kind of cast, it is difficult to get people's attention.

There are more new generation filmmakers in China, and many of them are talented, but how far they can go, everything depends on their achievements.

……

"The Two of Us" still has some winter scenes, which are planned to be completed next month, plus post-production, Chu Qing can have 6 million.

"Men on the Road" is a little simpler, with an estimated cost of three million.

The most difficult thing is "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao had to build his own team, choose locations, select actors, and the company assigned a producer to assist. After this set of procedures, it will not be turned on until at least the summer.

So far, Chu Qing's support project has set sail stumblingly, he doesn't have any big plans and ambitions, he just wants to make more good movies. No one knows what kind of impact and situation this thing will cause.

And what he is most worried about now is the director of "Tengu". After pondering and pondering, her brain was about to twitch, and finally she pulled a guy who was not very interesting:

Jiang Wen!

(Fever, headache, barely wrote, to say that the temperature in the Northeast is really daring.) (To be continued......)
