Chapter 807: Smashing That Broken Ship
Chen Kaige didn't understand what Gu Bei meant, just because he wasn't reborn.
In his previous life, he, like many domestic directors, hated the sword of Damoris hanging over the heads of Chinese filmmakers for a long time, and like Gu Bei, he wanted to smash the broken ship.
As for the name of that ship, it is also very famous in history - Titanic!
It is undeniable that this film's status in world film history is first-class, both in terms of storyline and production level.
After its release, it swept the global box office market with a devastating trend.
For the first release, it swept away $1.8 billion at the global box office, ranking first in film history, and after many releases, the box office has already exceeded $2.2 billion.
This achievement was not finally broken until it was released.
In the previous life, it landed in China in April this year, and the final box office reached 360 million yuan.
In the previous life, this box office data was completely an existence that could only be looked up to.
Although domestic filmmakers have been working hard to pull it off the box office charts.
But it's hard to think of it.
It was not until the outbreak of the domestic film market that several domestic films with a box office of more than 100 million yuan were born in the past few years, and finally the box office of 670 million directed by Feng Pants was squeezed out of the first position.
But from 1998 to 2010, 12 years have passed, and if you want to say that you won, you can't say anything like that with a bad heart.
James. Cameron is unlikely to recognize it either.
If you want to win, you have to be upright, and you have to make your opponent unable to say anything to refute, and you can't even find an excuse.
How to win?
It is Chen Kaige's this, which is burning enough, feeling enough, and all kinds of conditions are met, and now what we have to see is whether the grenade in the hands of the Long Live Army can smash the broken ship.
Listening to Gu Bei, Chen Kaige also heard that it was released in North America at the end of last year, and due to the high popularity, until now, some theaters are still showing it from time to time.
It is said that the box office has reached $600 million.
600 million!
According to the current exchange rate, if converted to RMB, how much is that?
It's nearly 5 billion.
Gu Bei actually wanted to kill this movie?
Even in the mainland film market, this can ......
Will it work?
Before Chen Kaige could react, a group of main creators surrounded him, surrounded him, and then lifted him up with all hands and feet.
Listening to the number of "1, 2, 3" in his ears, Chen Kaige suddenly felt as if he was weightless, and was thrown high.
Damn!
Just do it!
Lao Tzu still didn't believe that a broken ship could stump the great Banzai army.
"Smash that broken ship!"
The scene was too noisy, and no one heard what Chen Kaige was shouting, they just thought he was too excited.
That night, at the celebration banquet, Chen Kaige was toasted in turn, and before he ate a few mouthfuls of food, he was already drunk.
Before completely losing consciousness, Chen Kaige climbed on Gu Bei's shoulder crookedly and said vaguely.
"No matter when that ship comes, I will definitely defend this position for you!"
After saying that, he slipped out directly under the table.
By the time Chen Kaige woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Knowing that Gu Bei had flown back to the capital overnight, Chen Kaige didn't say anything, just told his assistant to hurry up and pack up the film.
Back to the capital!
There are less than two months to go before the National Day, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be too late.
Originally, I thought that after the finale, I would go to Xiangjiang to reunite with Chen Hong.
Since sending Chen Hong to Xiangjiang to give birth last year, Chen Kaige's work is too busy, and the two can only contact each other by phone, and every time she asks about the child in her belly, Chen Hong just says that everything is fine.
But if you don't see it with your own eyes, Chen Kaige can't rest assured.
Now I'm afraid it won't work, Gu Bei suddenly put such a heavy burden on his shoulders, if he didn't do the job beautifully, Gu Bei wouldn't be able to explain it.
Work is important, and the love of children can only be put aside temporarily.
It's better to wait until after the editing, dubbing and other work, when you go to Xiangjiang to do special effects, the two of you will meet again!
On the way to the airport, Chen Kaige called Chen Hong and briefly explained the situation here, Chen Hong was very reasonable, not only did he not lose his temper like other women, but he also supported his work very much.
"When I'm done here, I'll go to Xiangjiang immediately, and when the time comes, ...... Let's talk about it! ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Kaige instructed the assistant director to check in the film, and the big boxes containing the film were still repeatedly told before they left his sight.
There must be no mistakes, otherwise, he will really die a hundred deaths.
Fortunately, everything is quite smooth, from Changchun to the capital, if you take a plane, it is only a little more than an hour away.
It wasn't until he landed safely in the capital and got the film back that Chen Kaige was completely relieved.
"Go to the company!"
Now I have to rush for time, I can't take a break at all, so I gathered all the people, and even escorted the film to Mingqian Pictures together.
At the same time that Chen Kaige was busy cutting the film, Gu Bei was also called to China Film Group by Han Sanye.
I called him over because of the wrecked ship that was about to land.
At the beginning of the year, they were already talking, but at that time, Han Sanye had just taken office, and the Spring Festival stalls were lively, and a foreign film was suddenly added, which was likely to affect the results of domestic films, so Han Sanye used the word "drag" to decide and dragged down the negotiation process.
In the previous life, the reason why it was released in China in April was mainly because the overall environment of the domestic film market was too sluggish at that time, and we had to use foreign films to stimulate the development of the domestic film industry.
Naturally, there was no need to do that now, but the broken ship was still coming.
The North American box office is 600 million US dollars, Han Sanye just thinks about it and feels a headache, the National Day file is also the highlight of the domestic film market in the past two years, and last year's film received a box office of more than 100 million.
Han Sanye really doesn't want foreign films to come in and stir up at this time.
Ordinary people have a little spare money in their pockets, isn't it good to support domestic movies?
Why do you want to contribute to the outer film!
It can't be stopped, and any industry must serve the overall situation, and it is natural to make sacrifices.
"What I mean is, whether to adjust the schedule and stagger and go head-to-head with this one, I think it's still a bit unwise."
It's not that Han Sanye is afraid, the key is that this film has taken too much effort, and during the filming, there was a big mess, and there is ......
A blockbuster with the main theme color, if it is crashed by the broken ship in the National Day file, the impact will be too great.
Adjusting the schedule?
To hide?
Then what is the point of him forcing Chen Kaige to spend two months in the later stage of the finished work?
"Mr. Han, if I say it, it's for this one, you ......"
!
When I started it, it wasn't finished yet!
Han Sanye was just about to speak, but when he saw Gu Bei's expression, he couldn't help but be suspicious: "Xiao Gu, are you serious?" ”
Gu Bei smiled: "If it's fake, you should also listen to it, adjust the schedule, Mr. Han, I don't agree, sooner or later we have to face foreign films, the film industry has to serve the overall situation, but we don't necessarily have to make sacrifices, I know, we can't compare with others in terms of equipment or concepts, but we don't have any brains less than them, how can we make movies that can be liked by the Chinese people, are we not as good as foreign hair?" ”
Listening to Gu Bei's words, Han Sanye also fell into deep thought.
"In case ......"
Gu Bei still said in a relaxed tone: "If you lose, you should accumulate experience." ”
Hehe!
"You can think about it, this is an investment of tens of millions, I really think it's spending money to buy a bottle of beer, and if it doesn't taste good, throw it away!"
After saying that, Han Sanye was no longer so preoccupied.
Gu Bei's self-confidence also infected him.
There is a sentence Gu Bei is right, sooner or later, you have to be right, can you keep hiding, keep adjusting the schedule for the sake of foreign films, and you can't make people laugh off their big teeth!
"Okay, listen to you, let's not hide, just face them head-on!"
"Mr. Han, we can't just rely on courage to fight, we also have to pay attention to some strategy, at least the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and we have to keep up with the propaganda work."
"If you have any ideas, just say them!"
Han Sanye now also wants to see if he can just pass the box office market that has swept the global box office.
"CCTV's movie channel, we can cut a piece of flowers and send it over, 24 hours a day, looping."
Han Sanye frowned when he heard this, although CCTV and China Film are both in the same system, they have never cooperated before, and the nature of the work of the two has always been clear, and now they want to use CCTV's platform to promote a movie, how to coordinate this matter?
Just pondering, Han Sanye suddenly thought of something and looked up at Gu Bei suddenly.
"Didn't you kid be CCTV before?"
Gu Bei smiled: "Yes! But you have to agree to this, and ...... If you want to ask CCTV for help, you also have to ...... here"
Speaking of this, Gu Bei also rubbed his fingers, looking like a philistine businessman.
"Give something!"
Han Sanye understood, all this was in Gu Bei's plan, all he had to do was cooperate, even if he wasn't called Gu Bei today, this kid would have to come over tomorrow.
"You go and talk, as long as it's reasonable, there's no problem on my side!"
In order to fight this battle well, it is indeed necessary to mobilize all the means, and since it is cooperation, it is natural to give something.
