Chapter Eighty-Nine: Arrangement
"There is only one theme in paradise, and that is the sea. At dusk, a fireball falling into the sea is spectacular. The only thing left was a soul fire like candlelight. ”
"The sun slowly burrowed into the sea, and the sun reflected in the sea calmly, and the whole world could hear each other's breath quietly. It seemed that at that moment, we were able to knock on each other's heavenly doors. ”
This narrator, Bai Xiaofei found Mr. Li Liqun, who is also the biggest boss of the gang in the movie, that is, he released two young people who wanted to see the sea and stole his money...
The old man has been through a lot, and in his opinion, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven...
In fact, there is a movie that has a similar theme to this play, "The Bucket List", starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
In terms of preference, I still prefer the bright colors of "Bucket List", but I can't help but be moved when I see the final scene of the movie, the two of them sit and watch the sea, Danny falls, and then the music of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" plays.
Use the last time of life to realize a dream and knock on the door of heaven, this fleeting splendor will always have a tragic beauty, but if you can, life should not be taken lightly, and the wish should be a kind of mind that sits on words and deeds. is also like the lyrics: While the sun is just right, the breeze is silent.
The old outsiders are very open about death, which may have something to do with their education.
Think about it, they put the coffin under the church!
The church, the place of prayer for foreigners, should be the most sacred place...
There is a passage in "Veronica Decided to Die" that is very well written, which is very suitable for evaluating the movie "Knocking on the Door of Heaven": I have not died, and I have never wanted to die. I don't expect death, but I don't fear it. Life itself is an adventure, and every choice I make can lead me to my final death. Death is the end, but I am willing to meet it in the most bizarre way.
……
The movie is finished, there must be a finishing wine, this is the rule!
In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Xiaofei set up three tables in the hotel and feasted all the remaining staff.
The relationship composition of the crew is not very familiar, some came first, some ran away halfway, and some joined later, but at the moment they are all very close, pushing glasses and changing lamps on the wine table, crying and laughing, laughing and crying, crying and laughing.
Most of those who stayed worked together for three months.
After three months of getting along, everyone is working hard for a goal, it is difficult not to have friendship, no matter how indifferent, a few glasses of wine will become close!
Sometimes, the effects of alcohol are not limited to men and women...
Bai Xiaofei drank a few glasses with him, and then sat next to Chen Baolian.
She is in charge of the distribution and publicity of this play!
"First of all, we have to get the rights to the song Bob Dylan's "Knocking on Heaven's Door"!"
"This, already in contact!"
Bai Xiaofei nodded.
Not only because of the copyright, but also because I want to use the fame of this song to promote it in the early stage.
Bob Dylan still has a group of supporters in China, and most of these fans are literary and artistic youths!
Don't underestimate literary and artistic youth, most of Douban's supporters are these people!
If you want to win word of mouth, you must first win the hearts of these people!
"By the way, Brother Feiliang, let's rest for two days first, and in two days, we will leave for Thailand!"
Zhang Shan, who was a little dazed and drunk, obviously heard this sentence: "Go to Thailand? ”
"yes, make up some exterior shots!"
Bai Xiaofei replied as a matter of course.
Ahem, the "Knock on Heaven's Door" movie took place in Thailand...
Collecting photos from the internet alone is not interesting, and it's hard to compose...
I still feel like I shoot it myself!
"I'm going too!"
“… Okay, if you're fine, come along! ”
Anyway, it's the company that pays for it...
By the way, so far, the 15 million shooting fund has only used 8 million, which is very depressing.
The whole movie is in a place where there is nothing worth burning money in!
It's quite a failure, a director who doesn't burn money is not a good director!
Chen Baolian asked a key question: "When are you going to release it?" ”
“… I originally wanted to grab the beach for the New Year, but this year's New Year's stalls are full of blockbusters, and I'm a little scared, so it's better to advance it a month in advance..."
That's November!
It's August, and there's plenty of time...
"Okay, then I'll go back to the company to dredge up the relationship!"
"Hmm!"
As an aside, do you think the release of the movie is what the production company says?
Think too much!
That's just the drama of some big directors and big companies, and most of the movies of small directors and small companies that are not famous can only be arranged!
Who arranges?
The Film Bureau, of course!
It doesn't matter, it's a dream that your movie wants to be released on a suitable schedule!
Of course, there are policies and countermeasures.
Some production companies saw that the situation was not good, so they immediately terminated the release, found a random reason, and then postponed the re-release...
That's what Mr. Bi did!
The effect is good, the score of "Dream Entertainment Industry" has risen from 2.0 to 2.1...
"What advice do you have for publicity?"
“… Sign up for Venice cinema now! ”
Although Venice has been able to decline in name in recent years, it is also one of the three largest brands in Europe, close to a hundred years old, trustworthy!
“… You're a commercial film, what? Do you still expect commercial films to win the Golden Lion? ”
“…”
It seems unlikely...
Those who can win the Venice Golden Lion Award are either pioneers or literature and art, and they have nothing to do with business at all...
Of course Chen Baolian knows what kind of story "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is, the first half is funny, and the second half is heartfelt...
Very standard commercial film model...
"So, let's sign up for the one in Spain... San Sebastian International Film Festival, and then arrange a few good writings for them to follow up and report, how to fool people and how to come! ”
Participating in film festivals is not the goal, and winning awards is not the goal, the most important thing is publicity!
Don't you see, how many award-winning movies are doing well at the box office?
also "I Am Not Pan Jilian" swiped 300 million box office!
After chatting about this, Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Shan were carrying a bottle of wine, and the staff respected him just now, and they didn't come to be rude!
So, on the night of the finale, Bai Xiaofei completely slept like a dead pig...
……
When he woke up, Bai Xiaofei had a little headache, which was normal, the sequelae of a hangover!
He didn't have much sadness about parting!
Everyone is an adult, just vent your pleasure, the green mountains do not change the green water, there will always be a day when the rivers and lakes will reunite.
A place like the crew, especially for the director, is like an assembly line, someone is on the job, and someone will be laid off!
Tang Xiaoyu also left, and yesterday during the shooting, he received a text message, just three words: 'I'm leaving...'
