Chapter 501: The Fierce News Broke by Popular Movie Magazine!
To be honest, it is indeed a bit difficult to talk about cooperation with the three leaders of Modu Art Film Studio.
The main reason is that these three opinions are not very unanimous.
After He Yun realized this, he glanced at Wang Ruoyi, then smiled, and said to the three leaders: "Three leaders, I don't think it's better to be like this, let me first talk about some of our specific thoughts on the cinematization of this cartoon, after the three leaders listen, let's see if there are any other opinions, how about we discuss it then?" ”
"Absolutely! I'll see it! Among the three, Deputy Secretary Li immediately nodded and said to He Yun.
Then, he turned his head to look at the deputy director Zhou and asked, "Deputy director Zhou, what do you think?" ”
"I have no opinion, let's listen to Comrade He Yun's arguments first!"
Speaking of this, the deputy director of Zhou gently glanced at Director Zheng who was sitting next to him.
When Director Zheng saw that these two had no opinion, he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed them back, and then nodded, which was considered to be agreed.
In this way, after the three of them reluctantly reached an agreement, He Yun began to introduce some of their thoughts on the cinematization of "The Origin of the White Snake".
"Our idea is roughly divided into three steps, the first step is the problem of the script, which I can be the screenwriter, of course, if you have an idea, you can also write it with me, and the second step is the problem of shooting, because the picture quality of the film is relatively high, so ......
As He Yun spoke, the three leaders of the Modu Art Film Studio also nodded from time to time.
What He Yun said all came to the idea of an animated movie.
When He Yun talked about the release, the three of them immediately glanced at each other and interrupted He Yun's words.
I heard the deputy secretary Li say: "Comrade He Yun, on the issue of release, our film factory will communicate with the relevant parties, if nothing else, there is no problem, the key lies in the sharing of film profits, at present, the higher authorities are already studying the liberalization of the film market, we all feel that we can suggest that the higher authorities can use this cartoon as a pilot to promote the process of film marketization!" ”
The meaning of this Deputy Secretary Li has been made very clear, and their idea is very simple, that is, they want to use this animated film to advise the higher authorities as a film work for the pilot of film marketization.
Indeed, in 1994, the film market also began to enter the process of marketization, and the box office and other systems of films began to enter the countdown stage at this time.
It can be said that it will not be long before domestic films will enter a new era.
If we can ride this shareholder wind, we may be able to have unexpected gains.
"Oh...... Then please three leaders! I have no problem with Wang Ruoyi! He Yun sighed, nodded and said.
In fact, this is exactly what he and Wang Ruoyi want to see.
After all, the problem of release can only be solved by the Modu Art Film Studio.
Moreover, now that they have taken the initiative, then things will be much easier.
"Hmm..... Next, let's talk about our views, Deputy Director Zhou, you will come first! At this time, Deputy Secretary Li said to a person beside him.
Then I heard the deputy director of Zhou speak: "Comrade He Yun, Comrade Wang Ruoyi, I speak more directly, if there is anything wrong with what you say, please forgive me!" I still have some opinions about this cartoon, such as in the adaptation, can we simplify the main story line as much as possible, after all, most of the people who watch it are children, if the storyline is too complicated, for children, it is impossible to understand it in depth, and there is an emotional line, which ......"
Well, for the cartoon "The Origin of the White Snake", in the eyes of the predecessors in these animation fields, there are indeed some opinions.
He Yun and Wang Ruoyan actually knew this for a long time.
However, in response to the question raised by Deputy Director Zhou, He Yun immediately shook his head and retorted: "Deputy Director Zhou, I don't agree with your positioning of animated films. ”
"First of all, since it's a movie, it means that adults can also watch it, and secondly, animated movies are the theme of the legend of the White Snake, and adults like to watch it and are willing to watch it, which is not a conflict at all. Why do we have to worry about whether adults and children like to watch it or not? ”
"Besides! When it's released in theaters, aren't all adults and children going to see it together? In other words, adults are actually spectators, aren't they? ”
He Yun's words immediately made Deputy Director Zhou speechless.
Not to mention, if there is such a movie and animation in the cinema, children must be led by adults if they want to watch it.
At least for the most part, the adults are actually spectators.
If this movie can be enjoyed by both adults and children, wouldn't it be able to do the best of both worlds.
Besides, aren't many commercial animated films in the United States, especially some animated films like Disney, also developing in this direction?
And later generations have also proved that such animated films for all ages are the mainstream!
"Deputy Secretary Li, I don't have anything to ask, so it's up to you to ask!" Deputy Director Zhou, who was speechless, couldn't help but look at the deputy secretary Li at this time.
'Okay, I also have a question I want to ask Comrade Wang Ruoyi, just now Comrade He Yun talked about the issue of being suitable for all ages, if, I mean, if it can be done, then do you have any thoughts on the publicity after the release of the movie? ”
Indeed, this issue is indeed a question worth discussing.
After all, the ultimate goal of a movie is to make money, and if it can't attract more people to watch it, then it's certain that it won't make money.
"In terms of publicity, we also have some ideas, posters are a regular means of publicity, and the same is true for TV commercials, but I think we can use some unconventional means, such as buying tickets for this movie and giving some small gifts to the children who watch the movie."
"These small gifts can be small dolls of characters in the movie, or props involved in some movies, etc......"
Next, Wang Ruoying made a brief overview of some novel publicity methods.
Of course, these were actually all thought up by He Yun, a reborn person, and Wang Ruoyan was just reading from the book.
In fact, He Yun's operations are some basic operations of foreign films, and there are actually similar operations in China.
To put it simply, it is to attract popularity through merchandise, and although the gift is small, as long as the children like it.
If the children like it, more children will be able to watch this movie.
This is the same as playing the Water Margin card.
"Hmm...... It's a great idea, I think it's worth giving it a try! At this time, Deputy Secretary Li, who listened to Wang Ruoyao's words, nodded solemnly.
He couldn't agree more, because he'd heard some friends in the film industry mention similar ideas before.
"Director Zheng, do you have anything to ask next?" At this time, Deputy Secretary Li set his eyes on the last peer leader who had not yet asked.
When Director Zheng heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to ask!" Nothing to ask. ”
As soon as these words came out, Deputy Director Zhou and Deputy Secretary Li were stunned.
After all, they knew this colleague, so how could there be nothing to ask?
Shouldn't it?
Although they were a little puzzled, the two leaders still glanced at each other, nodded at He Yun and the others, and the deputy secretary Li said directly: "Okay, two comrades, let's talk about this today, if there is anything else you want to ask or say, you can contact us by phone, and we will leave for the time being!" ”
After saying that, the three of them got up and left the courtyard.
He Yun and Wang Ruoyi naturally got up and sent them to the door, and then returned to the courtyard.
"He Yun, why did you say that Director Zheng had nothing to ask?" Wang Ruoyan waited until the three of them left, and then said to He Yun.
"It's easy! He can't keep up with the development of this era anymore! He Yun replied meaningfully, turned around and walked into the studio.
"Can't keep up with the times? You mean .......? At this moment, Wang Ruoyan seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and turned back to the studio.
.........
A week later.
The third episode of "The Origin of the White Snake" was broadcast on Kyoto TV.
At the same time, in CCTV's "Red, Yellow and Blue" column, the first episode of "The Origin of the White Snake" also began to be broadcast.
It is precisely because of this that "The Origin of the White Snake", an animated film produced by Yunyi Animation and CCTV, is becoming more and more famous.
Soon, another piece of news broke in Popular Cinema magazine.
To be precise, it was an article about the cinematization of the cartoon "The Origin of the White Snake" that broke out a very exciting news.
It turned out that this article directly broke out that the animation film "The Origin of the White Snake", which has recently become popular all over the country, will be jointly produced by the original production unit and the Modu Art Film Studio into a movie, and will be released in major cinemas across the country.
As soon as this news came out, audiences across the country began to talk about it in an instant.
After all, it's rare for a cartoon to be made into a movie.
And it is a mythological story theme like "The Legend of the White Snake", and adults can't help but have a little interest in it.
..........
For these, He Yun, who was creating the modern military theme "Sharp Knife" at this time, naturally did not know.
At this time, he is in retreat and creating.
The next day, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Kyoto Division, he saw Wu Yan coming from the other side.
"Teacher He, is it so coincidental?"
After He Yun got out of the car, he immediately greeted him and said, "Yes! What a coincidence! Mr. Wu, do you have a class today? ”
"No class! There is no class, it's just a little something, and you need to come to school! ”
"Really? Okay, then I'll go to class first! As soon as He Yun heard Wu Yan's words, he didn't care, so he prepared to go to the classroom with his textbooks.
But at this moment, Wu Yan grabbed him and said, "Wait!" Wait! Teacher He, there is something I have to tell you! ”
"What's the matter? Mr. Wu! He Yun looked back at him and asked.
"In a few days, President Yang and Editor-in-Chief Liang of "Science Fiction World" will come to Kyoto, and when the time comes, our science fiction fans in Kyoto and science fiction fans in Tsu City will come, so.... I want to ask you, will you be free then? ”
"Oh..... What day is it? He Yun was stunned and asked again.
"Three days later, on Thursday! At the Goryeo cold noodle restaurant," Oh Yan replied.
"Three days later?"
"Okay! I'll be there then! ”
He Yun nodded, and then answered.
"That's it! You'll have to be there then! ”
"Okay! Teacher Wu, I'm going to class! He Yun nodded, then turned around and walked in the direction of the classroom.
........
After giving the students a lesson, He Yun went to Professor Liu's office.
"Professor! Busy? He Yun said casually and sat down on the side.
"It's He Yun, you! Why are you free to come over today? Seeing that the person who came was He Yun, Professor Liu raised his head and smiled at He Yun and asked.
"Professor! I'm here to give you a reward! ”
"Reporting? What works? He Yun's words fell, but Professor Liu was stunned and looked at He Yun with a puzzled expression.
"What about graduate work?" He Yun replied with a smile, and continued: "When I taught graduate students this year, I found that most of them did not have the ability to practice hands-on, I thought if I could let them form their own teams and get some research projects for them?" ”
"Well...... It's not impossible! Anyway, they need these academic papers for graduation, but now you are only a teacher who teaches and does not take graduate students......"
"Well, I'll make the arrangements."
Professor Liu hesitated for a moment and said to He Yun.
"Xiao He! Seriously, you have also been teaching graduate students for so long, and there are no problems in all aspects such as work attitude, have you ever thought about taking a few graduate students? ”
"Uh...... Not yet! He Yun couldn't help but be stunned for Professor Liu's suggestion, and then shook his head.
In teaching, he is indeed conscientious and has never missed classes and left early, but this is already the limit of what he can do, after all, most of his time is devoted to literary creation.
Maybe in a few years, he will quit his job from school and concentrate on his work.
"None? What about two years? Professor Liu asked again.
"Let's talk about it in two years, Professor, you also know my situation, I may not have so much time and energy to lead graduate students!"
He Yun's words made Professor Liu sigh and said, "Okay then! I didn't mention it! ”
"Your kid is so talented in the field of ancient Chinese literature, it's a pity not to take a graduate student!" Professor Liu sighed lightly, then looked at He Yun and said.
"Professor, there's actually nothing to be sorry for! I..... I still have something to do, so I'll go first! ”
At this time, He Yun shook his head, changed his words, and immediately found an excuse to "run away".
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be pressured by Professor Liu to change his mind.
"This kid! Looks like I'm going to have to find a proper opportunity to cut it first and then play it! Looking at He Yun's departing back, Professor Liu suddenly smiled and couldn't help muttering.
