Chapter 343: Happy Chinese New Year's Eve to everyone
PS: Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, here I wish you all a happy New Year, all the best, physical and mental health, and a happy family
It's a new year soon, and I hope that in the next 2014, everyone will be happy every day, work smoothly, and I don't know if all the readers who read my novels have gone home, if not, they will step up their preparations to go home for the New Year, although the taste of the New Year is not strong now, but it is still very good to be able to reunite with their families.
"It's almost ready", hearing Chen Yimou ask about the new movie, Luo Yang nodded and replied.
"Do you have the confidence to make this movie well? I heard that your investment in this film is not small, anyway, there is a big difference between a big production and a small investment movie, if you don't grasp it well, just call me and I will try to help you make this movie well." Chen Yimou nodded, and added a sentence casually, it's not that he doesn't believe Luo Yang, but Luo Yang has indeed not operated this kind of big production, Chen Yimou is also afraid that Luo Yang will not be able to grasp the context of this movie, and Chen Yimou asked Luo Yang to ask himself something, which also represents Chen Yimou's self-confidence, to be honest, when it comes to shooting big productions, there are less than a number of directors in Huaguo who can surpass Chen Yimou.
"If there is a problem, I will ask the teacher for advice, but I may really need the teacher to do me a favor at that time, my new movie wants to be released abroad, the teacher is more experienced and connected in this regard, I hope that the teacher can help me at that time and borrow the teacher's channels abroad", Luo Yang nodded and replied to Chen Yimou, and then put forward his request with a smile.
There are generally two ways for Chinese films to be exported abroad, the first is that the film company itself contacts foreign films, no matter whether the film is a big production or a small investment, as long as your film passes the review of foreign film associations, there is no particularly violent and bloody anti-human content, it can basically enter the foreign market, and there are no strong restrictions on the import of films from abroad, as long as you are willing to come, you are welcome at any time, and the second is to export your own films through national channels and through the recommendation of the state.
These two ways of exporting films have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first is to find their own distribution channels, and push their films to foreign markets by contacting foreign theaters by themselves, the advantage is that they are free enough, and they can export movies anytime and anywhere, but there are also many disadvantages, first of all, there is no haode way, Chinese filmmakers will suffer very much, especially in recent years, Chinese films have declined, and there are few to recover costs, resulting in foreign film companies also have a little contempt for Chinese films, not only in the box office share, Compared with the cinema chain in China, the foreign cinema chain should occupy a larger share ratio, and the Huaguo film company also needs to pay a deposit to the foreign cinema online to ensure that no matter how the film is released abroad and the results are, the foreign cinema chain cannot let them lose money.
Even so, many films exported to foreign countries may not be able to guarantee that there are enough theaters, screenings and haode release time, which is not that foreign cinema chains deliberately rectify Chinese films, but that many Chinese films do not perform well abroad, and Zuihou can only paint early.
Therefore, in recent years, most of the Chinese film companies that have taken this path have lost money, so in recent years, few film companies are willing to do these thankless things.
The second way is through the official recommendation of the state, this way is still very guaranteed compared to the first one, at least the Chinese film party will not be harshly exploited, and the release time, the number of screenings and the number of theaters can be guaranteed to a certain extent, but there are very few opportunities to get the country's recommended export films every year.
Luo Yang naturally doesn't think that as soon as he makes a movie, he can get the country's recommendation and promote his movies abroad, Luo Yang thinks that he doesn't have such a big face, so Luo Yang has to prepare for the export of his films abroad in advance, and Chen Yimou is his teacher, and there are more haode cooperation channels abroad, Luo Yang naturally asks his teacher, hoping to use the teacher's connections.
"I'll help you in this regard", Chen Yimou heard Luo Yang say this, nodded, and then said: "But even if I go to contact, you will still be exploited, this is also a helpless thing, you must know that Huaguo's films in recent years are not competitive, if it weren't for the country's order to restrict the import of foreign films, our Chinese films would have been impacted and collapsed, and what has led to this is that our film exports have also been difficult, not only because Chinese films have lost a lot abroad, but foreign theaters have no confidence in us, There are also foreign film companies that are not satisfied with the reasons why the Chinese government restricts the import of films, so it is still up to the efforts of your new generation of directors, if our films can continue to achieve good results abroad, how can there be theaters that dare to embarrass us, begging us to export is almost the same, who has the money and does not want to make money"? When Chen Yimou said this, he also sighed a little, the decline of Chinese films has made Chinese local films not know how much they have suffered on shijie, but in such an environment, even if Chen Yimou has worked hard, the results are not great, Zuihou still wants a cutting-edge director like Luo Yang to work hard, if it doesn't work for a year, then it will be twenty years.
"I understand, I will work hard to change the status quo of Chinese films", Luo Yang nodded and assured Chen Yimou.
"Just have this heart, such an environment is not something you can do alone, just try your best, this is your responsibility, but don't take it as a burden", Chen Yimou heard Luo Yang's assurance, smiled and patted Luo Yang's shoulder, and then said to Luo Yang: "Okay, you go and greet other guests, don't always revolve around me."
Let people receive Chen Yimou, Luo Yang and Zhao Yang said a few words to several artists and film company CEOs who came to attend the premiere, recently, because of Luo Yang's rise at the movie box office, many CEOs are also full of interest in Luo Yang's new movie, in the conversation with Luo Yang, constantly testing Luo Yang's new movie "Shijie Doom" needs investment, everyone has money to earn together, Luo Yang quietly said that the funds are enough, and several film company CEOs suddenly looked a little dissatisfied when they heard this, The words hinted all the time that Luo Yang eating alone was not a good thing, and it was easy to be boycotted by everyone.
Although this was not said explicitly, but Luo Yang couldn't hear it, which made Luo Yang very depressed, so he had to move the Rolling Stone Company out as his own shield, the bosses of these film companies learned that the Rolling Stone Company was involved in the investment, although he was still a little dissatisfied, but his expression was much better, after all, Luo Yang did not eat alone this time, but began to cooperate with others, this is a very good news, although he did not cooperate with their company, but next time there is a chance, everyone is afraid that Luo Yang is so popular, The director who has a guaranteed box office in China likes to play alone and doesn't bring everyone to play together, after all, Luo Yang also has a film company, which everyone knows, but Luo Yang cooperated with others this time, which means that Luo Yang can still accept and cooperate with others.
Seeing that these CEOs looked much better, Luo Yang was very helpless and contemptuous in his heart, it was better to have this mind and think about making his own movies, his own movies were not made well, but he always wanted to intervene in other people's affairs, no wonder Chinese movies have not been successful in recent years.
Of course, these words can't be said, otherwise the CEOs of several film companies will join forces to boycott Poplar Films in anger, and even if Luo Yang has Chen Yimou's help, he will have to be disgraced by these film companies.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was about seven o'clock in the evening, the movie was about to start its official premiere, and everyone rushed in, reporters, fans and guests sat down in the haode area according to the arrangement long ago, and the movie theater was immediately packed, and Luo Yang and his party naturally sat in the first row.
After everyone sat down, the lights of the cinema went out immediately, and a beam of light leaped out of the projection room and was projected on the big screen, and soon a picture appeared on the screen, first the logo of the public screening license of the Huaguo Film Administration, and then the picture dimmed, a poplar tree seedling did not give in in the storm, and grew up with difficulty, and finally grew into a tall and straight poplar tree, and a few big words appeared under the poplar tree: "Poplar Pictures", which is the logo of the poplar company.
The picture lit up again, and the first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a small fish tank containing a small goldfish, as the person holding the fish tank kept moving, the main creators of the movie appeared on the fish tank.
Producer: Luo Yang, Director: Zhao Yang, Screenwriter: Luo Yang, starring, cameo
With the opening credits zuihou a movie creator is displayed, the movie officially begins, the protagonist of the movie, Fan Jianqiang, puts the fish tank on the table, and there is a chubby, bitter-faced character sitting opposite, which is one of the highlights of the movie: the man who fell into the pit, and the dialogue between the two officially began.
"I'll tell you about my girlfriend, I may not have said it all, we ran a red light together, I was the only one who was photographed, my car was scratched, but the insurance company did not pay the claim, the reason is that the size is not enough, the group buys a foreign travel team, but they take me to the domestic attraction of the same name, I tell you that this shijie is full of pits, and they are all prepared for me, I go to the toilet urinal to pit me, buy a moto mobile phone online, they sent me a toy motorcycle, You say what's wrong".
"I saw a netizen eat me 18,000 for a meal, and I will never see it again, and what was taken out of the bank ATM was counterfeit banknotes, but the bank actually didn't pay for it"!
At the beginning of the movie, it was the classic lines of the man who fell into the pit, and with the wonderful performance in the movie, it was full of jokes, and it gave everyone a surprise at the beginning, everyone couldn't help laughing, and there was only one idea in their hearts, it seems that this movie is very good, at least this beginning is worth watching.
Hearing everyone's laughter, Zhao Yang, who was sitting next to Luo Yang, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tightly held hand relaxed a little, this opening scene is also a big highlight in the whole film, if everyone doesn't laugh, then it means that this movie has failed, fortunately, it has not disappointed, everyone seems to be very interested in this movie.
Luo Yang found Zhao Yang's nervousness, and comforted Zhao Yang softly: "Everyone is still very welcome, it seems that this movie is a success"!
"This is still a beginning, and we have to continue to read it to know", Luo Yang's words made Zhao Yang smile.
Next, the plot continues to develop, Fan Jianqiang rushed to send away his patients and fell into the pit man, just when everyone was puzzled by Weishenme, soon the movie gave the answer, the appearance of the heroine made everyone suddenly realize, it turned out to be to see his father-in-law, the actor who played Fan Jianqiang in the movie has very good acting skills, and the nervous state of mind before meeting his father-in-law is vividly performed, so that many young people in the cinema have relatives, and many young people who have had the same experience as Fan Jianqiang in the movie feel the same way. In particular, Fan Jianqiang, who has no house, no car and no deposit, in order to obtain the recognition of his girlfriend's parents, borrowed his friend's car, and talked to his girlfriend, fabricating that he is the CEO of the company with several employees, which is a profound allusion to the reality of society, isn't this the current situation in China, many young people because of this, the woman's parents do not agree with their daughter to have a relationship with themselves, and this episode of this movie simply speaks to everyone's heart.
Fortunately, the plot that made his peers feel deeply depressed ended quickly, and the movie quickly progressed to the second two points, the two thieves who promoted the development of the plot, the young thief who was grinding and urinating a lot on the lazy donkey and was severely beaten by his uncle, and the uncle kept remembering the license plate number, but his nephew kept saying the number, so that the uncle Zuihou remembered the messy scene, which made the audience hahadaxiao at the scene feel very interesting.
The plot continues to progress in the audience's hahadaxiao, and soon the protagonist and the heroine returned to the woman's house together, seeing that his girlfriend's house was so luxurious, Fan Jianqiang, who had no house, no car and no deposit, suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, and immediately wanted to run away, the audience did not feel exaggerated about the protagonist's expression, if he put himself in the same position as the male protagonist in the movie, he would not be any better.
Finally, under the persuasion of his girlfriend, Fan Jianqiang stepped into his girlfriend's door, and was arranged by his girlfriend to rest in the study, which also made everyone laugh from ear to ear, and the protagonist who Luo Yang added independently held the vase while hooking the book with his feet to put it on, while talking to himself Fortunately, the part with long legs made everyone happy, and his good impression of Fan Jianqiang, who had no car, no house and no deposit.
And the next plot is even more unexpected by everyone, after a misunderstanding, the actor finally and his father-in-law, the two were suddenly surprised, it turned out that the protagonist Fan Jianqiang is his father-in-law's psychiatrist, and his father-in-law confided his secret in Fan Jianqiang, originally thought that the two would not meet, but the relationship between the doctor and the patient, but I didn't expect that under the mistake, Fan Jianqiang actually became his son-in-law.
How can Fan Jianqiang's father-in-law Su Bohu endure this, for this kind of Fan Jianqiang, who knows a lot of his ulterior secrets, Su Bohu immediately took tough measures, and resolutely could not let Fan Jianqiang become his son-in-law, otherwise Fan Jianqiang would have leaked his mouth that day, which made Su Bohu, who has always been majestic in front of everyone, a self-righteous economist, and a university professor, wouldn't his reputation be ruined all of a sudden! It's a time bomb that can blow itself up at any moment.
Although Fan Jianqiang strongly assured that he was moral as a psychiatrist and would never disclose the patient's privacy, Su Bohu did not believe it very much, even if Fan Jianqiang didn't say it, what if his daughter knew about his dream that day? No way! You must not let this psychiatrist be your son-in-law.
Seeing that the movie had a divine turn, the audience in the movie theater suddenly shouted, they were all curious about Fan Jianqiang's next fate, what method would Fan Jianqiang use to impress his father-in-law?
The plot of the movie continued to progress, and in the face of the threat of his future father-in-law, Fan Jianqiang was naturally unwilling to compromise, and kept persuading his future father-in-law that he would keep it a secret, which made Su Bohu very unhappy, and with a roll of his eyes, Su Bohu decided to strike first, and he must not let his son-in-law meet his wife, so he quietly attacked Fan Jianqiang, and then stuffed Fan Jianqiang in the back compartment, wanting to drag Fan Jianqiang out and throw him outside.
And Fan Jianqiang was also unfortunately recruited, and was thrown in the car by Su Bohu, and then Su Bohu drove to find a place to throw his future son-in-law, but he didn't expect that the car was not only out of gas, but also accidentally discovered by the police.
This plot is also very exciting, there are many highlights, first Fan Jianqiang was sneak attacked, coma was stuffed into the trunk, the audience's hearts were hanging, I want to know how the next plot will develop, whether Fan Jianqiang was thrown outside, and then found it himself, as a result, the plot took a turn again, and saw which elderly policeman seemed to analyze the attack process of this case and the next result for the young policeman, and was strongly worshipped by the young policeman, The audience in the cinema hahadaxiao up, these are really two interesting cops.
Next, Fan Jianqiang and Su Bohu were taken to the police station, fortunately, Fan Jianqiang ignored the past suspicions and proved that his future father-in-law was joking, and Su Bohu's identity as a famous economist was also sent back by the police station, and the two returned home, although Su Bohu was grateful to his son-in-law for helping him prove that he was innocent, but it did not mean that Su Bohu recognized himself as a son-in-law, Fan Jianqiang, who knew all his secrets, was too dangerous, and did not drive Fan Jianqiang away for a day. Su Bohu felt very unsafe, but how could he let his son-in-law die, Su Bohu began to think of a way.
And at this time, Su Bohu's wife, Fan Jianqiang's future mother-in-law, also returned home, and saw her future son-in-law, Fan Jianqiang's future mother-in-law was still very satisfied, and enthusiastically wanted to make food for Fan Jianqiang, which made Su Bohu even more depressed, with his own wife to help Fan Jianqiang, how could he get rid of this dangerous guy?
