Chapter 202: Red Cliff Press Conference (1)
The news about Lin Xiao's seizure of the emperor in the whole country has gradually decreased, not because he is not interested, but because a bigger storm is brewing.
It's May 15th, and the students of all the major high schools are making the final sprint, and the dawn is going to announce the sunrise school, which can only be held recently.
How many performing arts schools in China apply for each year? Not to mention the three major schools, even if you can't find a place on the map, the school must be crowded.
"Minister Wang said that a press conference will be held on the 20th." Back at the company, Lin Xiao said solemnly, "This is a press conference held by the Guangying Department. ”
"The Ministry of Cinema held a press conference for Chibi?" Qin Zhong was taken aback, "This kind of precedent seems to be counted on your fingers, right?" ”
"Because this is a national key film and television, I am the deputy director of the audit branch of the Ministry of Film and Television!" Lin Xiao said with a smile, "In the past few days, they have deliberately suppressed the turmoil, just waiting for the outbreak of the press conference, look at it, this is the grandest press conference in recent years!" ”
After thinking about it, he said, "What about the Three Kingdoms arranged by the Guangying Department?" I'm going to have to talk to him. ”
Qin Zhong handed over a list, and Lin Xiao smiled after looking at it.
The three big characters on it are clear.
Yi Zhongtian, lecturer of the Three Kingdoms of the Hundred Lectures, Professor of the Department of Chinese, School of Humanities, Xiamen University, doctoral supervisor. Maybe he is not famous for this name, but he has been talking about the Three Kingdoms in CCTV's 100 pulpit columns since 05, which can be said to have driven the style of China's Three Kingdoms.
"It's this one." He was happy, originally he was worried that the old professor would be too strict and wouldn't be flexible, but this one won't, for many things in the Three Kingdoms, many people, have his unique views, maybe, it can make this script even better.
The five-star script of the Three Kingdoms historical drama, if you want to go to the world, the most difficult thing is not how grand the scene is, how good the actors' performances are, and how awesome the director is, but how to make the profound ancient Chinese culture and ancient strategies so that everyone except Asia can understand it.
Now with Yi Zhongtian, I believe that the last flaws will be filled.
He immediately called the other party non-stop and invited the other party to discuss the script together.
Four days flew by.
There are also reports from Cannes on the Internet, but several major media outlets, CCTV have all quieted down.
On May 19, it was a peaceful day, but when all the media received a notice, the day became no longer peaceful.
Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Feng Xiaogang stared at the notice on the table dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their eyes.
"An investment of one billion yuan!" After a long time, Feng Xiao gasped just now, and exclaimed as if he had just woken up from a dream, "What do they want to do?" Want to blow up the entire market? ”
"Lao Feng, don't be in a hurry to surprise one billion yuan, you first look at the unit of the issuing company." Wang Zhonglei's face sank like water and said solemnly.
The eyes of the three people stayed below the notice, and the poke of the bright red Guangying Department stabbed people's eyes.
This time, no one spoke.
"National key ......" for a long time, and the three of them took a breath together.
"How long has it been...... The national key point appeared again...... "Wang Zhonglei's face was cloudy, looking at the two words of Chibi on it, he couldn't figure it out, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series is a national focus, but the Three Kingdoms movie is also? Could it be that the name of the Three Kingdoms can become the focus?
"The Guangzhou Film Department is letting all the companies come to cheer in the past...... Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly, "The most important thing is when this film will be released." ”
No one wants to go head-to-head with the national focus, first of all, not to say that the same schedule will definitely be suppressed, but if they are not suppressed, they dare to win?
If you win, you don't give face to the country, and the most important thing is that Lin Xiao's film and television never seem to have failed.
"We have to figure out which schedule they expect to release!" Feng Xiaogang knocked on the table and said, "Our family business is small, and we can't touch a big machine like the state." Since the press conference was held in the name of the Ministry of Film, the country will definitely escort this movie, and we should immediately postpone the film shooting plan at the end of this year, and we must avoid going head-to-head with this drama! ”
Huayi's worry has become the worry of everyone in the old top ten film and television companies, and everyone looks at the notice with ugly faces.
I don't want to go, but I have to.
And the media magazines of the day all published similar news: "Dawn Film and Television Company will hold a press conference for the new drama 'Red Cliff' in Beijing tomorrow morning, the director, actors, and crew have not been announced, is this the new Cannes actor Lin Xiao's year-end New Year's work?" ”
This news is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, a few days ago, some fans complained that Lin Xiao won such a big honor, and the Film Department didn't fart or let go, just like there was no such thing, and they also pressed public opinion hard, today, several major media magazines, and several major TV stations competed to broadcast it, and everyone knew that it was not that they didn't celebrate, but that they really wanted to celebrate as a big event.
"Lin Shuai has a new movie again!" "I didn't say anything about actors! The director didn't announce it, so he announced a name, Chibi? Three Kingdoms? ”
Suspicion boiled, but it quickly turned into curiosity. What kind of film is this? Who is involved? The announcement of the investment of only one billion yuan, this amount alone scared a bunch of people to death. How exciting is such a huge movie? How popular are the artists to participate?
With these doubts, it soon came to the next day.
On May 20th, the InterContinental Hotel in Beijing was jammed with people since the morning, and reporters from major media blocked the entire entrance.
"Dawn is big this time, a billion yuan investment...... I really don't know where they got their investment from. A reporter excitedly played with the camera: "This is the largest investment in China's history......"
"It's built on his success...... "I've interviewed them many times, and for four years, every year the films have been a big success, and they're not satisfied with a small company anymore, they seem to be planning to get bigger and do the best." ”
And at the moment, in the back. Lin Xiao is making final adjustments with all the participating publishers.
Bao Guoan came, Han Sanping arrived, Prada's representative also arrived, Xu Changchun, deputy minister of the Guangying Department, also arrived, and Wu Yusenan sat on the sofa, sipping tea gently.
Han Sanping looked at the seven or eight old artists present, and wondered for the first time if he was wrong.
It's not that he thinks it's wrong to be the producer, in fact, such a huge production is a huge test for his production ability, and he is busy in the next half a year of preparation. He felt that what was wrong was this group of old artists, the country almost allowed them to be professors, teach and educate people, and he didn't care about these heroes who contributed to China's film and television industry, but now looking at the full smile on each other's faces, he began to self-reflect.
Every old artist is undoubtedly happy, such a large-scale press conference, even if it hasn't gone out yet, it is enough to be shocked when I see it now, the world-class director, the vice chairman of the China Film Department, plus them, can already guess what kind of turbulent waves will be set off.
When the last sentence was finished, the old artist showed a satisfied smile on his face, hero, always want to gallop on the battlefield, what is it to nest in school?
They don't have handsome faces, only superb acting skills, and there were no big movie productions to give them opportunities in the past, but now, they have participated in a huge production with an investment of one billion at a time, how not to get them excited?
When the last sentence was finished, Lin Xiao looked at the time, nodded, and walked out first.
The entire venue has opened up four halls, which shows how huge the scale is!
On the main stage, there are more than ten small tables, a huge poster behind it, the word Chibi, and the beacon fire below, but there is no artist!
This simply made the reporters go crazy, and they only scolded Lin Xiao for being too immoral in their hearts, and they also hung people's appetites little by little!
Ten o'clock sharp. Lin Xiao walked out from behind the poster, and the scene was suddenly silent.
This is a kind of silent respect, not a single security guard or person on the scene reminded him, but he all stopped talking.
"He actually came out in person...... although the reporters did not speak, their hearts were already turbulent, "This means that he will play this play?" ”
Hundreds of reporters at the scene stared at Lin Xiao's mouth, only their hands were desperately pressing the flashlight.
Hundreds of lenses emitted dazzling white light in unison, covering the entire main stage at the bottom of the machine.
"Thank you for coming." On the main stage, unlike other press conferences where all the staff appeared at the beginning, Lin Xiao was the only one.
"Everyone has seen that my next play is Chibi, and the script is written by me, but I am not the director. Below, let me introduce to you all the relevant people in Chibi. I don't think you want to listen to my nonsense. made a harmless joke, Lin Xiao picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Please invite the director of Chibi, director Wu Yusen!" ”
"Boom!" When this sound came out, the reporters in the audience exploded in an instant!
"Oh my God! He even asked director Wu Yusen to guide! A reporter was stunned and stunned, "Tens of millions of dollars in directing fees...... He, he's really going to be so ruthless! ”
However, the surprise did not last long, because the excitement was already welling up.
What does this mean? This shows that the script must be impeccable! Wu Yusen's status will never shoot those movies with too poor scripts, and Chibi alone, the director, has earned enough gimmicks!
It's like before Spielberg's new film comes out, his name is the signature!
"Producer, Mr. Han Sanping!"
"......" The audience breathed a sigh of relief.
A young female reporter looked at the old reporters around her who were ten years older than him suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Isn't it just a producer? ”
"What do you mean by being a producer?!" The old reporter next to him turned his head and said with a smile, "Do you know who this is?" This is the deputy minister of China Film! Don't tell me you don't even know about Zhongying! ”
