Chapter 317 2003
(There is a mistake at the end of the previous chapter, covering your face with your sleeve, it is impossible to drip down your fingers...... οΌ
Fan Xiaoye was about to return to Beijing, and was persuaded by Wang Tong, saying that you put more pressure on him like this, you are filming well now, and call him from time to time, but don't mention the matter of illness, pick a happy chat.
She doesn't know much about depression, but she thinks it's terrible anyway, and she is very well-behaved and obedient.
As for Chu Qing, since receiving a call from his daughter-in-law, his condition has improved significantly, and he has more actively cooperated with the treatment. Of course, it was Wang Tong and Huang Ying who were affected, and the two women took turns to take care of them, and most of their energy was focused on him.
Speaking of this news, only a few people know, first of all, Guan Jinpeng and Lau Dehua, because it involves some work in Hong Kong, as well as the publicity activities of "Infernal Affairs". And then there is Diao Yinan, "Uniform" has already finished the late stage, just waiting for him to watch it, and he has to give a reason.
There is no one left, including Fan's father and Fan's mother, who didn't sue sΓΉ. However, on New Year's Day, Chu Qing still pretended to accompany the old couple for a while in order not to show his stuffing.
In the blink of an eye, in early 2003, he was back for exactly a month.
At this time, my symptoms have greatly improved, and not only can I sleep again, but I can also make some jokes occasionally. Wang Tong accompanied him to the hospital for a re-examination, and the doctor said that he could do some work, but not too tired, let's take our time. You don't need to take the medicine anymore, and meditation is good for regulating the spirit.
Fan Xiaoye has been in private contact with Wang Tong, and he can quickly obtain first-hand information, and he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learns about the recent situation.
During his recuperation, the outside world was still disturbed, just talking about the hustle and bustle of the film industry, "Hero" has broken 200 million, "Infernal Affairs" has broken 50 million, and people in China and Hong Kong are excited. It's as if the prime is coming.
The media swiped headlines and fought a war of words, while the audience was full of spitting, praising "Hero" less and praising "Infernal Affairs".
You think, Baba squeezed to the movie theater, and ended up watching a big MV with bells and whistles. spent three dollars to buy a pirated disk, but it was a good one hundred and ten minutes. There's no way, the contrast is strong, I'm sorry if I don't spray!
Lao Mouzi doesn't care about that. With this film, he finally killed Chen Kaige, and rightfully topped the top of the domestic director NO.1. And under Zhang Weiping's planning, he is preparing to sweep Berlin, Golden Globe, and march all the way to the Oscars.
As for Media Asia, I don't have so much thought, I just want to take advantage of the east wind to burn the fire into the mainland market and buy a lot of tickets. But "Infernal Affairs" is a pure Hong Kong film, and according to the policy, only China Film has the right to introduce it, and China Film. NATURALLY, YOU WILL NOT MAKE LOW-LEVEL POLITICAL MISTAKES AND SELECTIVELY PASS AWAY.
On January 17, the 53rd Berlin Film Festival announced the shortlist for the main competition unit.
Among them, only three films in Asia survived. "Hero" in the mainland, "Seibei at Dusk" in Japan, and "Blind Well" invested in Hong Kong. What is more surprising is that Berlin, which has never hung much on the United States. actually drew five Hollywood movies to be shortlisted, which can't help but make people think about it.
Aside from the main competition, Chinese films are quite bright in other units.
Including "Infernal Affairs", "Gunfire", "Unparalleled in the World", "PTU", "The Dragon's Depths" and "Three Watches Homecoming" of the international and observation forums. "Carla is a Dog" at the Youth Forum, as well as "Zhou Yu's Train" and "Fanny's Smile" at the Youth Forum, a total of 15 films.
As soon as this list came out, the domestic media gathered momentum, and at the same time collectively ignored it. They introduced each movie, broke it and crumpled it to explain it to you, but for "Blind Well", I just can't see it, I can't see it!
However, now it is not as good as before, as the Internet becomes more and more popular, the amount of information blows out, and the audience's awareness level and awareness have improved, which is no longer like "Xiao Wu".
couldn't stop it at all, Chu Qing's name instantly spread all over the major film and television BBS.
Hey? What do you want to say for Mao?
Because of the big controversy last time, he has already swiped the screen once, and by the way, he has circled a lot of die-hard fans. Fans never regard him as an idol, but purely as a myth.
No way, this thing is too low-key, like a missing person. Recently, there has been a rare movement, first out of this pirated disc, and soon to fight in Berlin, everyone seems very excited.
"Blind Well", it is the one that was spread in the circle in the previous paragraph, although I don't know the specific content, but it does not prevent them from turning into the first generation of brain-dead fans, and they are shouting:
Kill Heroes!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Beijing, Huayi.
Feng Xiaogang was depressed, he was originally thinking about the script at home, and when he had some ideas, Leng was called over for a meeting. But you can't help but come, after all, you have to rely on others to eat.
"Director Feng!"
He walked through the corridor and was about to turn a corner, when a shout suddenly came from behind him, turned his head to glance, and said with a smile: "Sister Hua, are you making fun of me?" β
Wang Jinghua hugged a Wen JiΓ n clip, approached with a click, and said, "Yo, I don't dare, my subordinates are looking forward to you turning over the brand!" β
"Tsk! Vulgar! β
He pointed at the other party, smiled and scolded, and the sycophants were more comfortable.
They are in the company, one is the pillar, the other is the artist manager, each holding the country, competing for mutual benefit. While chatting, the two entered the conference room, where another senior executive was already waiting.
After sitting for a while, two more people came in from outside the door, it was the company's boss Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei. The eldest brother wears a pair of glasses, his face is rugged, and he doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, and the younger brother is slightly fat, but he is kind with a smile.
As the first batch of private film and television companies in China, Huayi has been able to develop to the point where it is today, and the brothers have made great contributions. Wang Zhongjun doesn't care much about specific affairs, and is responsible for dealing with big names at the political and capital levels. Wang Zhonglei is the executive president, managing the mess up and down.
When the personnel gathered, Feng Xiaogang looked around and couldn't help pouting, the specifications are high enough, at least above the princes.
"I'll talk about it later."
The eldest brother spoke first, and he didn't take the draft, and said directly: "A few days ago, the Propaganda * Department held a national film work conference to convey some important policy reforms. β
"First, for a film to fit the market, it has to make money, don't talk about art. Second, it is necessary to cultivate a professional distribution company, which is understood, and I will not go into details. Third. To encourage co-productions, I expect that there will soon be a document to increase the quota of Hong Kong-made films and relax the restrictions on co-productions. Fourth, as for the approval process, although they did not elaborate, there must be some relaxation, and I remain optimistic about what can be loosened. β
Wang Zhongjun is simply resolute. Without half a word of nonsense, he said: "Okay, you can discuss the rest, and I'll go first." β
Everyone was not surprised, and when they saw him go out, the atmosphere was suddenly relaxed.
Immediately, Wang Zhonglei took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Everyone heard it just now, I don't know what you think." Anyway, my first thought was the word opportunity. It would be a complete fool not to act when the opportunity arises, and now the government's attitude is very clear. If we want to support a thriving film market, what should we do when we are in it? β
No one is on the hook...... Come on! It's not a child anymore, can't you see such an obvious link of "Emperor Shengming"?
Really. I heard him continue: "The most important thing in doing industry is to recognize the essence and its own advantages and disadvantages. So what is the essence of the entertainment industry? I think it's just three points. Star! Gimmick! Pretty! β
"On the other hand, we are good-looking, needless to say, Xiaogang is here, what is popular to film, and we have cultivated a very mature Chinese New Year film market and audience awareness."
"Gimmick, we still have to continue to work hard, to find out the audience's interests, and then carry out publicity and marketing."
"Stars, I think they are also very weak, look at our company, the male actors are very good, there are Ge You, Chen Zhiming, Ren Quan, Xia Yu and so on. But the competitiveness of actresses is obviously insufficient, especially young actors, there is only one Li Bingbing. So our goal this year is to sign three or four actresses with great potential or who have already been successful to promote our balanced development. β
He paused, gave everyone time to digest, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Let's talk about it!" β
Feng Xiaogang and Wang Jinghua, one looking at the sky, the other bowing his head, and slipping away in a grand manner. They weren't in charge of things in the first place, but now they're here to sit in and give some advice when necessary.
As for those executives, after thinking for a while, someone said: "Since Wang Dong said that the restrictions on co-production films will be relaxed, Hong Kong stars will inevitably go north in the future, and we can select some people from them to be responsible for their performing arts affairs in the mainland." β
"Well, yes, we will have a meeting in a few days, and we will start implementing it immediately." Wang Zhonglei thought about it and fully affirmed it.
Subsequently, someone continued: "There is also Taiwan, the market there is too small, and the mainland is the main position, so we must also consider it." β
"That's right, there are many and famous artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan, we only need to intercept a small part of the stream, and it is enough for us to eat."
"Yes, I support this idea!"
"So, what about the domestic ones?"
ββ¦β¦β
At the mention of this stubble, there was no sound for a while.
Obviously! The most popular domestic actresses, classmate Zhang has no drama at all, Zhao Wei is also suspenseful, Xu Jinglei has her own company, Zhou Xun and Li Xiaowan are in the honeymoon period, and they can't dig it...... So who's left?
Fan Bingbing!
Everyone is a little weird, because this time is different from the past, when I asked her to sign a contract, she was still a third-tier rookie, and she was the leading party.
But now, people are thriving in the circle, soaring all the way, and they are already qualified enough to negotiate conditions with the company.
And Wang Jinghua, as the actual executor of the year, had to say: "She, she is too sensitive, not to mention that the two of them still have a studio, it is not very likely." β
"Sensitive?"
Wang Zhonglei smiled very delicately and said: "A country's market is about to be opened, how can it still hold on to someone?" Studio, we can talk about it first, there is a solution to everything, help each other, and make progress together. β
He turned to Director Feng again and asked, "Xiaogang, you still have a female lead in that film, what do you think of her?" β
Feng Xiaogang drooped his face, annoyed by this way of operation, and took out his works to trade, just to exchange them for a star.
However, from the perspective of the role alone, he thought about it for a few seconds and said: "The image is absolutely fine, the acting skills, it's better to let her try it, I'll take a look first." (To be continued......)
