Chapter 10 The problem of the release of the determination and the unexpected

After the editing and soundtrack is done, it is basically a finished film, from the start of the project to the final film, it lasted two months and ten days, and the short time surprised the industry.

"You're ready to make a film so quickly?" Hu Xiwen was a little incredulous.

Gu Cancan waved his hand modestly: "General." ”

Hu Xiwen made a gesture to knock her: "Who praised you!?" Cancan, you're too fast, a record, right? Even if it's a bad movie, it shouldn't be so fast. ”

Her film has just finished filming, plus the Spring Festival break, a total of four months, editing and post-production have not started at all.

"I'll go, who made a bad movie!" Gu Can was very dissatisfied and said that giving Hu Xiwen a posture for popular science, no, it was knowledge: "Xiangjiang made a movie in the 90s, from the project to the release, the shortest time was one month!" I'm not the shortest time to do. Are you really a graduate student in directing? ”

"I, I haven't studied any film in the shortest time." Hu Xiwen muttered, and then remembered Gu Cancan's intention: "Are you looking for my father?" ”

"Yes," Gu Cancan said embarrassedly: "What, you also know about my small company, there are three or two kittens, and they don't have the ability to distribute at all, no, I want my uncle to recommend it to Zhongying, Sister Xiwen, do you think it's feasible?" ”

To be honest, in Huaxia, if you want to make a movie, as long as you have money and are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to find someone to make it, the key is whether you can pass the review and release it in theaters.

It can be said that at least more than 80% of movies will not be released in theaters, and even if some movies can pass the review, there is no way to find a theater willing to release them.

Gu Cancan's current behavior is commonly known as going through the back door.

But Gu Cancan has no other way, she actually considered taking Hu Fan's path before filming, not to say that Hu Fan wants to open the door of convenience, as long as Hu Fan recommends the film to the reception department of China Film, Gu Cancan believes that with the quality of her film, she will definitely pass the review of China Film, and now the most important thing is that Gu Cancan must find a way to make "Nightclub" enter the sight of China Film.

The domestic cinema chain is not only China Film, but also Bona and Wanda's strength.

However, China Film has a great advantage, generally the movies it distributes, the theaters generally do not go offline in advance.

China Film Group is a giant in the film industry and is very strong. Most domestic theaters will take the initiative to schedule the small and medium-cost films released by China Film and release them for a month. Because China Film has mastered 70% of the mainland's imported blockbusters. Therefore, for the sake of theaters, in order to ensure the number of copies of blockbusters every year, it will be very consistent with all the films released by China Film. Even if the attendance rate is not high, it will make the movie release for a month.

And Gu Cancan is a new newcomer in the director industry, and the bright era is just a small film and television media company, if you contact Bona Wanda or the like, I am afraid that you will be squeezed very much.

If it is released by China Film, there is a relationship with the Hu family, at least China Film should not be too much for Gu Cancan.

Hearing Gu Cancan say this, Hu Xiwen had a difficult face, and said to Gu Cancan: "Cancan, it's not my sister who wants to shirk, you haven't been in contact with my father, he is quite honest and straightforward, my aunt made a movie before, and wanted him to give China Film a few words and let China Film release it, but my father felt that my aunt didn't shoot well, so he refused to introduce my aunt, and made my aunt angry." So ......"

Gu Cancan understood what Hu Xiwen meant, but she had confidence in her film, and said with a smile: "I didn't ask my uncle to give me a way to get through the review link of China Film, but asked him to create an opportunity for me to show in front of China Film." After all, we are now light-hearted, and if we contact China Film by ourselves, we may not even have the opportunity to show it. ”

Hu Xiwen played with his fingers, heard Gu Cancan say this, nodded and said: "It's possible in this case, so let's do it, I'll tell him when my dad comes home, it should be no problem for him to find Zhongying to give him a chance to show." I'm curious about what kind of movie you've made. ”

Gu Cancan thanked him with a smile, and finally asked Hu Xiwen curiously: "By the way, Sister Xiwen, how long will it take for your movie to be completed?" ”

Hu Xiwen's graduation work is a change from the deeds of Gu Cancan's master, and Gu Cancan is also very curious about what it looks like.

What's more, the heroine in it is still Tang Yan!

I heard that Tang Yan still had acting skills when he first debuted, and Gu Cancan is looking forward to this movie directed by Hu Xiwen.

"The editing and soundtrack and post-production time are expected to be two more months." Hu Xiwen said.

Gu Cancan: "......"

"Sister, can you catch up with the graduation defense?"

Hu Xiwen said indifferently: "Time is a little tight, but it should be fine." ”

It's the end of March, two months later, the end of May. If it goes well, Hu Xiwen's work can be produced, and it should be possible before the graduation defense.

The storyline Gu Cancan knows, to be honest, Gu Cancan is not optimistic about this movie, Hu Xiwen is guilty of the common mistake of academic directors, tell a story, just tell a story, you have to reflect a certain point of view or a certain spirit in the film.

I knew that most people watch movies to relax, who wants to be lectured when watching movies.

They know a lot of knowledge, but they don't know how to tell a good story.

……

Hu Fan sold Gu Cancan a face, although he didn't have any feelings for this little junior sister who suddenly appeared, but his father Hu Min liked Gu Cancan very much.

may be to make up for the regret in his heart, Hu Min treats Gu Cancan like a granddaughter, thinking about Gu Cancan in everything, after Gu Cancan comes to the capital, but before and after the New Year's holiday, he must let Gu Cancan go to eat at home, even if Gu Cancan is very busy, he must specially wrap a small gift for Gu Cancan.

To be honest, Gu Cancan was also quite moved, a stranger was kind to her because of a dusty old story, this kind of sincere emotion was something she had never experienced before.

Hu Fan is a filial son, he saw that his father was so good to Gu Cancan, and he thought that he could help this little junior sister who suddenly appeared as much as he could.

He made an appointment with a leader of China Film and the director of the distribution department of China Film to hold an ultra-small viewing party specifically for Gu Cancan's film.

The leader of China Film is called Zhang Le, and the director of the distribution department is called Xu Shang. The two of them originally looked at Hu Fan's face and gave Gu Cancan this opportunity.

Originally, a small company that had never heard of a name, a teenage girl directed and acted by herself, a group of actors who are basically not famous in the film industry, can make up something good.

But after watching the movie, everyone's minds changed. This movie is surprisingly good-looking, and the people present are all senior movie-related people, who can basically judge that this movie will be released, and the reputation will definitely not be bad.

After the film viewing meeting, Gu Cancan and China Film finally reached an agreement, and China Film was responsible for distributing Gu Cancan's nightclub movie, and the proportion was 40% after the box office tax in Bright Times.

If the producer is strong, this proportion can reach 43%, but Gu Cancan's bright era is just a new company, and this proportion is basically the highest proportion that newcomers can get.

Gu Cancan was very busy and satisfied with this.

As for the release time, China Film plans to arrange it in the summer vacation in August, and it can be said that this time slot takes care of Gu Cancan very much.

However, the schedule of Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" has been determined, on May 15th.

Gu Cancan wants to rub the popularity of Crazy Stone, so the highest release time is between one and a half months to two months after the release of Stone.

Because according to Gu Cancan's memories of the original time and space, the crazy stone continued to be popular for more than a month, and in some places, it took three months to be released before it was released.

Not only to rub the heat of the stone, but also to try not to bring any big impact to the stone, Gu Cancan put forward a request, hoping that the release time of the nightclub will be in mid-July, which is equivalent to a month earlier in the time of China Film.

In the end, China Film still agreed to Gu Cancan's request, and the movies released in China throughout July have no big directors and no imported films with big productions, and Gu Cancan's nightclub may be able to succeed in making a big deal with a small one.

The issuing company and the time have been decided, and now it is just a matter of waiting for the time of July 15.

So next, Gu Cancan thought to himself, what should I do?

I never expected it!

Bright Times now has only one unreleased work, and now the company has more than a dozen employees waiting to be fed, although the nightclub Gu Cancan is basically sure that it will make money. But in the period before the release, you can't be idle.

If you make a movie again, you can definitely get money from Gu Wei, but Gu Cancan doesn't want to always ask his father to support him.

What's more, even a small-scale nightclub cost more than 2 million, so if Gu Cancan wants to continue making movies, he can't do it without millions of funds.

If it's a TV series, it will cost more.

Gu Cancan still decided to wait for the nightclub to be released and get a share before making a big investment, now......

"Never Expected" is a mini-comedy directed by Yi Xiaoxing and starring Bai Ke, Liu Xunzimo and others.

The play depicts the unexpected saga of Sledgehammer in an exaggerated and humorous way.

"My name is Wang Dazhui, I never thought ......" "I remembered the running in the sunset that afternoon, it was my lost youth" "Please call me an official"......

In Gu Cancan's original time and space, whether it is on Weibo, or chatting with friends and colleagues, he can always see or hear these words when he never expects to be popular.

Gu Cancan clearly remembers that she had seen it in a certain report, and according to statistics, the cumulative number of views of the feature film "Never Expected" has reached 215 million!

That's a pretty big number. And the actors of "Never Expected" are all amateurs who are non-professional and have no acting experience. But it's just such a group of people who create a classic image of dick silk - Wang Da Hammer.

Gu Cancan estimates that the reason why Wang Dazhui's image is so classic is because these actors are dicks, and their performances are basically in their true colors.

Moreover, as non-professional and non-professional actors, they don't have too many scruples, they just play with a playful mentality. And if it is a professional actor, they can't show this kind of dick silk temperament, there must be a lot of disobedience, and it is difficult to bring it into the audience.

Many of them are stalks that can only be understood by often mixing in the Internet circle, and some stalks that only the post-90s generation can laugh.

If someone is careful enough, they will find that "Never Expected" was filmed in line with the current situation of the Internet. For example, the elements of funny and time-traveling are all liked by the post-90s, and a short period of 5 or 6 minutes is the best time for impetuous users' attention to quickly shift and maintain their attention in the Internet context, and hot topics and historical stories meet the needs of onlookers. Not to mention some undisciplined jokes, in fact, there is no discipline in the whole drama.

Gu Cancan thought seriously for a long time and came to the conclusion that even if he never expected to move to 2006, he would still be popular, because no matter when, Dick Silk is always the majority......

However, now in front of Gu Cancan, there are several problems that need to be solved.

First, Gu Cancan only remembers a few particularly funny episodes, such as the first episode of low-cost martial arts, such as Journey to the West, such as the Legend of the White Lady and other limited episodes.

Second, actors. In Gu Cancan's opinion, he never expected that the reason why he became popular was because of the leading actor Bai Ke, and it can even be said that Bai Ke is the soul of the character.

To be honest, it's hard to find an actor like Bai Ke, you say he looks ugly, that's definitely not ugly, in fact, Bai Ke has beautiful facial features, and there are some handsome, if that's all, there are a lot of actors in the entertainment industry, but the kind of dick silk temperament that he exudes from the inside out, one in a million, Gu Cancan racked his brains and couldn't think of anyone else with the same temperament as Bai Ke.

Third, the timeline.

The original time and space never expected that it was produced in 2013, and it would be popular on Weibo, called Beast Yi Xiaoxing, Lao Wet _alayset, cucn201 Baike, Lin Panda, etc., all of which are Weibo tuba and have great influence. And they have a very good relationship with Bai Er, genius red panda, gossip _ I'm too CJ, apostle, don't shoot the director is me and other highly active jokers on Weibo, every time they call the beast Weibo to post a video, it is a vote of jokers to spread vigorously, and these jokers contribute quite a lot of jokes and jokes.

In this time and space, because of the butterfly effect, Weibo appeared a few years in advance, and the development is also very good, but limited by the number of netizens and the popularity of smartphones, the content of Weibo is far less rich than that of later generations, and the creature of jokers has not yet shined.

So Gu Cancan wanted to shoot, but he never expected that there were many problems in front of him.

There are many problems, so let's solve them one by one.

First of all, the content of the episodes that I remembered in my mind was typed out on the computer, and Gu Cancan saved the document.

Then open the browser and start searching for the keyword "called Beast Yi Xiaoxing", but there is no result, and the search results that appear are all irrelevant content.

Gu Cancan's heart tightened, the beast is also an indispensable key person, how could it not be, has he not appeared on the Internet now, or is it because of the butterfly effect caused by the rebirth of Kou Tianhai and Gu Cancan, which made him disappear?
