Chapter 441: The Old Artist's Expectations
The house that Ge You bought for the old man is indeed very good.
Xu Luo looked at this very exquisitely furnished house with ancient charm, and knew that Ge You had put a lot of thought into it.
I don't know how much I bought, but such a large amount of renovation costs will at least exceed three or five hundred thousand.
This courtyard is not large, that is, about 200 square meters, and it is temporarily inhabited by the old man and his mother, and then two nannies who help to do things.
In fact, it's not good if the area is large, and it's not easy to take care of when it's big.
Even if Ge You has invited two aunts to cook and take care of it, no matter how big it is, it will look very empty and unpopular.
At this point, Xuluo still has regrets.
He has been married for so many years, and he still hasn't come out, although the old man didn't say it, but it is always a regret in his heart.
Sometimes, Ge You secretly envied Xuluo.
There are two girlfriends at the same time, Sister Lin and Yu Feihong, maybe you can really hug left and right in the future, as a man, isn't it very cool?
If nothing else is mentioned, there will be no worries about the reproduction of this offspring.
It's a pity that people are more popular than people, he is so old, and he doesn't have the heart to toss.
Xu Luo didn't expect this guy to have such feelings, otherwise he would put his No. 3 baby, thirteenth aunt, white lady, and little queen all out, which would make Ge You desperate.
After saying hello to Ge You's mother, the aunt and the nanny went to the next room for dinner.
After all, a few big men are eating and chatting, and it is not very appropriate for her to sit at the table as a woman.
Old man Ge liked to drink a lot when he was young, and when he got older, he could only drink health wine.
Seeing that Xuluo brought ten-year Moutai wine, he was happy and asked Ge You to open a bottle.
"In the past, when I went to a performance held by the government, I drank ten years of Moutai once." Old Man Ge said with emotion: "At that time, Mr. Xiangyu personally came to our table to toast us...... Alas, that's a good guy! It's a pity ......."
Old Man Ge mentioned this respected big man, and Xuluo was also in awe.
The next moment, before Xuluo could say anything, Old Man Ge said, "Today, I asked Youzi to invite Xiaoxu to come over, first, to thank you for taking care of him, second, to see you, a descendant, and third, I also have some ideas and want to discuss with you." ”
"You say!"
The first way of the void jaw.
"Here, let's go first." Old Man Ge took the small cup, touched the cup with Xuluo, touched it with Ge You, and then drank it all.
Ge You poured it again for the three of them, and then said with a smile: "Dad, drink less, otherwise my mother will have to talk about me again." ”
"Don't worry, I've got it." Old Man Ge tapped the table with his hand, and said, "Xiaoxu, what do you think is the difference between our domestic TV movies and Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States?" ”
"Commercialization."
Xuluo thought for a moment and gave an answer.
Most of the domestic movies and TV series are filmed with a purpose, although there is a lot of entertainment, but most of them are still done for education.
It means that no matter what, it has to tell you a positive truth.
This is the case with most literary films.
Abroad it doesn't matter so much.
If you want to express your literary and artistic views, you can express them, but more than that, I just want to make money.
I make whatever movie makes money, whether it's horror, action, sci-fi, Tokyo is not hot, San Fernando Valley, etc., there are people who do it.
If you want to make money, then whatever you make, make sure that the audience is willing to buy tickets or rent a video to watch.
So they're just trying to attract people for the sake of attracting people, and they don't care about any morality, as long as they're exciting enough to be eye-catching.
Old Man Ge nodded, "Then do you think we should learn from them?" ”
Xuluo smiled, "Your question is too big, I'm not a decision-maker like Old Man Teng, I'm just a TV series movie, oh, it's still a commercial movie and TV series, how can I know so much." ”
Old Man Ge didn't let him go, "You just have to say your opinion, the day when the two of us talk at the dinner table won't spread it, just treat it as small talk, okay?" ”
He kicked Ge You under the table.
Ge You had no choice but to sneer, "Xiao Luo, you should accompany the old man to chat, what you want to say, it doesn't matter what we say!" ”
The boy felt a little strange in his heart.
But he still said obediently: "Okay, then let's talk." ”
"Huh!"
Old Man Ge raised his hand, "Come, talk while eating!" The pot-wrapped meat made by my wife is delicious, but it doesn't taste good when it's cold, you can taste it. ”
"Good!"
Xuluo ate a piece of crispy and sweet pot-wrapped meat, and then said slowly: "I think ah, learning must be learned." On the one hand, our demand for culture and entertainment is increasing, as evidenced by the recent three Hong Kong films, "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun", "Once Upon a Time: A Man Should Be Self-Improvement", and "Red Fan District" in China.
On the other hand, if we don't occupy the 1.3 billion Guangmao Market, others will occupy it! For example, American blockbusters, Hong Kong kung fu movies, Japanese romance movies...... Wait a minute. I think it's better for us to do it ourselves than they do. ”
Old Man Ge bowed his head and said, "What do you think...... Will the country be open? ”
Xuluo thought for a while and said, "I think it will, it's just a matter of time." After all, we keep saying that we are in line with the world, but we have always been complacent in this regard, and if we are not happy outside, the people inside will not be happy. ”
Now there is no film release in China.
Some can only buy the copyright and make their own copies to release them.
This is the model for Eying Studio to cooperate with Golden Harvest, but the difference is that Eying Studio has too much buyout fee for Golden Harvest, and others are reluctant to give so much.
Of course, if you are reluctant to give so much to other film dealers, they will not give you the official copyright of the blockbuster, and you will not make this money, so you can only let the pirated video dealers make money.
You can say that I didn't pay money, I didn't lose money.
But you didn't make any money because of that.
If Eying Studio can't give so many dividends to Golden Harvest, they will also not be able to obtain the distribution rights of the three films, and they will not be able to earn tens of millions in one go.
This profit has made countless film studios jealous.
The movie studios are red-eyed, and the Cinema Alliance is even more red-eyed.
They wish that every new foreign blockbuster could be imported into China, and then they would release it here, and the film would be broadcast every day, so as to make money lying down.
If the country wants to open up the entire film market, they must be the happiest.
The second happiest thing is the moviegoers.
In these days, there is no entertainment, and being able to watch a movie once a week has become the biggest form of entertainment for many young people and even adults.
Although not everyone can watch movies every week, it is normal to watch movies 10-20 times a year, whether it is a big city, a small city, or even some towns.
Movie tickets are not expensive now, generally 2-3 yuan in the city, 3-5 yuan in megacities, and 5 cents to 1 yuan in the township.
The general salary in the country is around 150, and the provincial capital city and above are more than 200 yuan, and watching a movie once a month is not much of a luxury.
Nowadays, the total number of movies is very expensive, so there are often movies from three or five years ago, or even ten years ago.
For example, movies such as "Shaolin Temple" and "Golden Dart Huang Tianba" are still being played in villages and towns.
For example, the more recent "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" and "Once Upon a Time: A Man Should Be Self-Improvement", people bought copies, so they can be put endlessly.
If it's okay, put it once, and there are still many people watching it every time.
Of course, this movie ticket is not as expensive as it was at the beginning, usually only 1 yuan in the city.
Ordinary people love to watch these classic movies, but if you can often see new movies, what's the difference?
Newspapers and magazines say that foreign movies are very good, but I haven't seen much of them.
All they can see is some foreign movies in the fifties and sixties, especially the movies of the Big Brother series, and they are looking forward to the colorful American movies.
This time, Cheng Long's "Red Fan Zone" filmed in the United States exploded at the box office in China, even in November, many shows can reach full capacity, which is the reason.
Under this kind of demand, you always don't let go, and you always don't let foreign movies come in, and the people will naturally be dissatisfied.
Old Man Ge also understands this.
He had another glass with Xuluo, and then said, "I'm not worried that foreign films will come in and steal our market." If your skills are not as good as others, you will be crushed by others, and there is no way! At that time, it can also force Chinese filmmakers to work hard and attract audiences to our own Chinese films one day earlier. ”
"So what are you worried about?" Xuluo asked curiously.
"I'm worried that excessive commercialization and excessive entertainment will make young people lose our Chinese spirit." Old Man Ge said, "Those foreign movies in the film studio are not only watched by your children, but also by me. What it preaches is the American spirit, the American struggle, the American lonely hero, and the supremacy of the personal interests of the United States...... Right? ”
Old man Ge is a mainstay actor in Beijing Film Studio, so the movies that Xuluo can see in Eying Studio, he can also watch in Beijing Film Studio, and even watch more.
Countless films that have not been released in the country at all, can be seen by people in these film studios.
Therefore, Old Man Ge has seen a lot of things.
Xuluo nodded: "Yes, foreign elders are also very smart, and they all regard the sincerity, kindness, beauty, and justice of the world ...... These are the overall outputs, so that you don't feel that anything is wrong. But secretly proclaiming their Western values, too, is an obvious thing. ”
"That's right!"
Old Man Ge was very happy that Xu Luo could also see it, "I think so, since we can't stop them, then we can try to make some excellent movies and TV series ourselves to fight against them, reshape the values of young people, and let them follow the traditional Chinese virtues." What do you think? ”
"Of course it's good." Xuluo nodded, "Old man, your idea is very good, I support you." ”
"No, no, no."
Old Man Ge shook his head, "I want you to do this......"
"Huh!?"
Xuluo was surprised, "Me? ”
Ge You sensed the smell, and he hurriedly said, "Dad, shouldn't such a thing be done by the eight major studios and those people above?" What are you doing with Xiao Luo? You put such a heavy burden on him, can he bear it? ”
Old Man Ge shook his hand, "I didn't mean to ask Xiaoxu to do this, but as an old man in the literary circle, tell him my expectations!" Of course, you don't have to do it wholeheartedly...... It's just that in the case of a lack of strength, do something that can improve the morale of our Chinese and make us proud, okay? ”
He looked at Xuluo expectantly.
Ge You next to him had a little headache.
If he knew that the old man was going to say this, he would definitely have to dissuade him in advance.
Because Xuluo's character is not coerced, is it too old-fashioned for you to inexplicably put a big hat on his head and let him do how to contribute?
Young people don't like it!
While thinking, Ge You also stared at Xuluo.
If Xuluo said no, he would hurry up to play the round, and he couldn't let this atmosphere collapse.
Otherwise, his father will be unhappy, and Xuluo will also be unhappy, and he will break up.
As a result, Xu Luo first took a sip of wine, and then after putting the cup down, he nodded slowly: "Old man, I have thought about it too, but I have not thought so thoroughly. You're right!
As a new generation of film and television people, making money is one thing, and entertainment is also one thing, but for our public opinion and the right to speak about the Chinese spirit, it should be firmly in our hands, and they can't be allowed to seize the position. ”
"Yes!"
Old Man Ge slapped his face, "Isn't it...... Come, let's go again...... What are you looking at me for? Your dad has raised his glass, why are you stunned? ”
The latter sentence is said to Ge You.
So the three of them clinked glasses again.
Xuluo continued: "Don't worry, I already have a TV series ready to be produced, and they are all full of positive energy!" We also want young people to know how the older generation sacrificed their lives to get to where we are now! ”
"Yes!"
Old Man Ge slapped the table again, pointed to the wine glass he had just put down and said to his son, "Come, give me and Xiao Xuman...... Hey, positive energy, well, that's a good word! ”
Ge You frowned, worried that his father had drunk too much, but he knew that he was on the rise, and no one could persuade him.
So the three of them could only drink a drink, and then Ge You put the wine bottle under the table.
Old Man Ge didn't care, but asked Xuluo with great interest, "What story are you preparing?" ”
Xuluo said: "It's a story about a not-so-serious regimental leader. ”
"Not so serious...... Regiment Commander ......"
Old Man Ge pondered the meaning of Xuluo's words, but he didn't figure it out.
Ge You next to him was energetic, "Xiao Luo, do you think my brother is suitable for me to play a role in it?" ”
Xuluo couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother You, aren't you going to shoot "Alive"? If you don't prepare well, how can you get the Cannes actor? ”
"Huh?"
Ge You was surprised: "Me? Do I take Cannes as the best actor? Like Xiao Zhang? ”
Obviously, Zhang Guorong was one year older than him, but Ge You forgot it in a hurry.
"Isn't that possible?" Xu Luo said: "The book "Alive", plus director Zhang Yamou, plus you, doesn't win a few key awards, is it reasonable?" ”
"This ......"
Ge You is still very confident in himself, but if you want to say that he is confident enough to win the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival, it is definitely bragging.
Old Man Ge looked angry for a while, and stretched out his hand to slap over, "You stupid! Xiaoxu is the original author, and he told you that there is hope to win the award, then it must be! You can make time for me in the first half of next year, and I can understand the script and stop doing all that mess, you know? Otherwise, I'll kill you! ”
"Eh, eh, I know!"
Ge You came back to his senses, took the Moutai wine under the table again, and poured a glass for himself and Xuluo.
Then he raised his glass, "Come, Xiao Luo, brother toasts you, thank you again for giving me this opportunity!" Brother must not disgrace you! ”
"I wish you success!"
After clinking glasses, Xuluo drank it all.
The stage has been set up for you, whether you can get the Cannes actor like you remember depends on your skills!
In fact, at this time, Xuluo is also glad that Zhang Yamou will not be available next year.
Otherwise, if they finish filming before May and take the film to Cannes again, no matter who is the chairman of the Cannes jury, no matter how much public relations Xuluo has, it is unlikely that Xuluo will give Xuluo a film award again.
】
After all, the films of the same producer have won the Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actor for two years, and everyone will find it a little weird.
After a year, it's not so abrupt.
Coupled with the script, director, starring, and public relations, the probability of winning the award is much higher!
