Chapter 824: Gift Film

drove to China Film Group, and now the office of China Film is not the old and dilapidated one back then, it has already been changed and moved into a new office building.

Gu Bei here often comes and goes, and when he saw that it was him at the front desk, he didn't even ask, and let him go directly.

Han Sanye's office is on the 8th floor, and because of his outstanding work performance, he also took over the position of chairman of China Film Group in 05, several years earlier than in his previous life.

knocked on the door of the office, and there was another person besides Han Sanye.

Huang Jianxin!

"Mr. Han, Director Huang!"

Huang Jianxin saw Gu Bei coming in, and hurriedly got up.

"Mr. Gu!"

Han Sanye waved his hand and motioned for Gu Bei to sit down.

"I've been chatting with Director Huang for a while just now, and I probably have an idea, you can listen to it and help you refer to it in detail."

Gu Bei responded, and then Huang Jianxin briefly said his thoughts.

Now that preparations have just begun, the most important thing is to set the story line and intercept which part of history.

According to Huang Jianxin's idea, modeled on the movie, the beginning of the story was directly set after the victory of the three major battles and the entry of the leaders into Beijing.

It mainly tells the history from the preparation of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the founding ceremony.

"Xiao Gu, what do you think?"

Now there are only elders like Han Sanye, and they still call Gu Bei "Xiao Gu", when others see him, they are familiar with "Old Gu", and those who are not familiar with him must be called "Mr. Gu".

"I think we should still extend the timeline a little further, although it is mainly about the founding of the country, but in the process of this establishment, what did our predecessors experience?"

"How?"

Han Sanye knew that Gu Bei had a lot of ideas, and he was also very interested.

"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the predecessors also tried to avoid war, after all, after eight years of anti-Japanese war, our country has been riddled with holes, and the people are eager to restore peace as soon as possible and live a life of peace and contentment again.

Han Sanye listened and nodded incessantly.

"That's right, that's right, it should be added, the hearts of the predecessors are always filled with the people, and the party represents the interests of the people, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the people do want peace, this part of history should be added, so that everyone can clearly see the efforts made by the predecessors for peace."

After speaking, Han Sanye pondered for a while and looked up at Huang Jianxin.

"Director Huang, the tone is set, you take the lead in the matter of the script, you can pick the well-known screenwriters in China, and I will coordinate it."

Obviously, the director of this tribute film, Han Sanye is interested in Huang Jianxin.

Gu Bei naturally has no opinion on this, he came over today to help.

"Mr. Han, Director Huang, I don't know what you think in terms of actor selection? Is it to choose a special actor, or is it a ......"

Huang Jianxin said: "We still have to strive for god-likeness, taking into account the similarity, especially the main characters, the audience's image of the predecessors has been basically fixed, and if you change it rashly, the audience may not be able to accept it." ”

Gu Bei nodded and agreed, but ......

"Mr. Han, since it is a gift film and coincides with the 60th anniversary, I think that since we are going to shoot it, we still have to pursue some things in terms of box office results!"

It's nature!

Han Sanye is the main player in making this movie, but he doesn't just think about the meaning it represents, he naturally has to work hard at the box office.

"In that case, I have an idea."

Han Sanye hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Mr. Han, do you remember the one we filmed when Xiangjiang returned?"

How can you not remember that Han Sanye at that time had not yet sat in the position of the second-in-command of China Film Group, and that film directly created a box office of more than 100 million, which added a lot to the leadership team of China Film Group that he was in preparation.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Han Sanye to become the second-in-command of China Film Group from an outsider, and preside over the daily operation of the group, and it would be even more impossible to sit in the position of chairman early.

Although 10 years have passed, Han Sanye is still very impressed by that work.

"Xiao Gu, what do you mean ......?"

"All-Star lineup!"

There's nothing more appealing to an all-star cast, and even if you're not paying attention to the story, it's a pleasure to sit in the cinema and count the stars.

In the previous life, from the starring role to the supporting role, even actors with only one or two lines, or even no lines, were all well-known big names in the circle.

For example, Cheng Long, a kung fu superstar in Xiangjiang, wanted to play a great man at first, but when the film was turned on, there was not even a named character, he still begged for a long time, and Han Sanye reluctantly agreed to add a clip of Ren Chaogong being interviewed in the plot, and Cheng Long played the reporter who was in charge of the interview.

There is also the king of comedy, Zhou Xingchi, who called Han Sanye several times, hoping to play a role in the play, but unfortunately because the audience was used to his comedy image, he appeared in the play rashly, and he didn't seem serious enough, and in the end he didn't even get a second of shot.

"I'm afraid it's not easy, to achieve an all-star lineup, I'm afraid it's ...... in terms of budget alone."

Huang Jianxin was a little skeptical.

What makes an All-Star?

Naturally, it is necessary to invite all the big names in China, specifically the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, to co-star in a movie.

But those big stars, often with millions or tens of millions of salaries, are all invited at once, and I am afraid that the budget will be several times higher.

Huang Jianxin also knew that when filming, many stars starred with zero pay, but now it is different from the past, at that time, the salary of domestic first-line stars for filming a drama was only more than 100,000, what about now?

It's more than ten times more.

Let people put down the work at hand, put aside the money and not make money, come over to shoot a scene or two, and continue to star with zero pay, can people be willing?

Gu Bei smiled when he heard this: "Director Huang, you must not underestimate the patriotism of people in the entertainment industry, so be it, I dare not guarantee anything else, as long as it is an actor from Mingqian Pictures and Guangya Pictures, I don't want a penny of salary, if they want to talk about salary, I will personally give it to them!" ”

Huang Jianxin was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Han Sanye.

Han Sanye said: "Our President Gu has agreed, Director Huang, what else do you have to worry about, what you should worry about most now is how to arrange so many stars." ”

This was the case when it was filmed, Han Sanye didn't expect the showbiz to show so much enthusiasm, and he could receive countless calls every day, all he asked for was to show his face in the movie.

Just now when Gu Beiyi mentioned the all-star lineup, Han Sanye also reacted, the reason why he was able to achieve a box office of more than 100 million back then was because of the star faces in the movie.

Now that Gu Bei is helping to prepare the book, there is nothing to worry about.

"Director Huang, you will take out the script as soon as possible, the script must be drafted, and we will start casting."

Since Han Sanye said so, Huang Jianxin naturally had no doubts, thinking that he could also direct a work with an all-star cast, he couldn't help but get excited.

Huang Jianxin left, and only Gu Bei and Han Sanye were left in the office at the moment.

"Xiao Gu, this time I'm going to trouble you again!"

Gu Bei smiled faintly: "It is incumbent on me to participate in the prosperous Huadian, it should be my honor to participate in it!" ”

"Good!"

Sure enough, at the critical moment, Gu Bei was the most reliable.

"In that case, you just listen to the greetings, there must be a lot of places to use you in the future."

With that, Han Sanye got up, walked to Gu Bei's side and sat down.

Gu Bei could feel that Han Sanye was also full of exhaustion at the moment.

Sitting in the position of chairman of China Film Group is indeed a high position, but it also means greater responsibility.

In recent years, the domestic film industry has developed rapidly, but there are also many problems.

At first, the production company was affected and was keen on big productions, but soon this enthusiasm was poured cold water.

It's not a big production, and high investment will definitely bring high returns.

Most of the films produced have suffered Waterloo, and the box office results have been extremely dismal, and few can save their capital.

Later, seeing that big productions didn't work, it happened that Mingqian Pictures had produced several small-budget movies one after another, but as a result, it was small and big, but it reaped a high box office and made a lot of money.

As a result, those production companies began to learn to work on small-budget films.

is so high and low, sometimes left, sometimes right, resulting in the development of the domestic film industry has become unpeaceful.

Han Sanye wanted to talk to Gu Bei a long time ago, and even wanted to organize a meeting to invite all the production units of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in the country to come over, and let Gu Bei teach them how to invest and how to make money.

"Mr. Han, I can't find the right way, this is a normal phenomenon, the domestic film industry started late, how to develop, in fact, there is no object to refer to, after all, our national conditions are different from the United States, I think the most important thing to do now is to give private producers greater autonomy, and some areas should almost be let go."

Han Sanye frowned when he heard this: "If you have any ideas, tell them truthfully." ”

Gu Bei thought for a moment and said: "I mean, film is a complete industrial chain, but now, as the boss of a private enterprise, I can only play the most basic part in this industrial chain, that is, production, and I can't participate in the rest of the distribution, nor can I share the benefits, and there is ......."

"Cinemas?"

Han Sanye directly said what Gu Bei was the worst to say.

Being able to sit in the position of chairman of China Film Group, Han Sanye's intelligence is inevitable.

Gu Bei squirmed and said for a long time, in the final analysis, he was staring at this.

"Boss Gu, you're worried about this, I'm afraid it's not a day or two, right?"
