China National Convention Center.

Flowers are brocade, strings are beautiful.

At this year's Beijing International Film Festival, a big leader made a speech, so it was specially organized.

The main members of the organizing committees of the three major European film festivals, including the Busan Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival, were all present.

The high-ranking officials here in the capital are also in place, as well as the Longxuan Department, Mr. Guang, China Film, Shangying, Xiying and other CEOs.

Including the bosses of various film and television companies such as Jiangdong Entertainment, Guangguang Media, Huayi, and Bona, they all attended.

In martial arts, this is the gathering of the heads of various major sects and the opening of the martial arts conference.

Even the masters of the Western Regions and foreigners have arrived.

Warner, Disney, Universal, Fox, Lionsgate.

There are hundreds of senior executives of Chinese and foreign film companies, and Zhou Yutang's old friend Bob is also there.

People from all walks of life gathered in the capital, such a luxurious lineup, it can be said to be a world film event.

At the opening ceremony, after the leader finished speaking, he gave up the big stage to the famous director James Cameron, who had just raged in the Celestial Empire film market.

The truck driver's recent big ship has scuttled through the entire Celestial Empire film industry, and its prestige has once again been shocked, and it has also attracted the attention of the giant crocodiles on the Hollywood side.

The box office expectation of "Titanic" by professional box office forecasting agencies is 900 million, which is at least more than 100 million US dollars at the current exchange rate.

The Celestial Empire film market is still developing, but this volume has attracted the attention of Hollywood.

After James Cameron finished speaking, Liu Tianwang and Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and Xiaogang Cannon were the guests of honor and presented awards to Li Xuejian and Zhou Yutang.

The Beijing International Film Festival originally did not set up awards, but it was only commended by the Celestial Empire film industry and the organizing committee, and awarded the title of Outstanding Contributor to the Film.

It means that last year's outstanding contribution to the Celestial Empire movie.

One old and one young, complement each other.

Li Xuejian has deep qualifications and fame, and has starred in many main theme movies, and he deserves to win the award.

And Zhou Yutang has successively created box office records for Celestial Empire movies, bringing Celestial Empire movies to another level.

When he took the stage, the voice of the audience obviously reached another peak.

Even people from several large foreign film and television companies frequently looked sideways and talked about it.

Zhou Yutang politely hugged Teacher Fan gently, only to feel that the mature woman's eyes were full of charm, as if she wanted to eat herself without even a bone.

Next, the theatrical performance, the "Phantom Imaging" produced by Vision Media and Crystal Stone Company was eye-catching.

This show uses digital imaging technology to create a wonderful visual effect, which combines film art and technology well, and brings the ultimate sensory enjoyment to the audience.

When the opening ceremony ended, Huang Xiaoming saw Zhou Yutang and directly came to a loving hug first.

"Brother Xiao Ming, how was the filming of "Yue Fei"?"

"I guess it will take a while, and the show your company did tonight looks really good."

Huang Xiaoming, like Zhou Yutang, also asked for leave from the crew, but he looked a little haggard: "The loss is so miserable, it's up to you next, Yu Tang." ”

His "Piff" is completely planted, following the box office of 3.8 million on the first day of release, 2.1 million on the second day, and only 1.5 million on the third day.

The box office went all the way down.

The two invested 30 million yuan, and they lost all their money.

However, even if Huang Xiaoming has negative emotions, he will not pass them on to others.

Soon there was a leader-like smile on his face, which may also be a peculiar personality charm.

"No way."

Zhou Yutang was also a little helpless: ""Border Storm" was also beaten very badly. ”

The final box office of "Border Storm" was fixed at 308 million, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the current sluggish domestic films.

This also made Chen Er, a rookie director, famous overnight.

The pony galloping behind the main control is also famous as Jiangdong Entertainment, but in front of "Titanic", which has continued to soar towards the goal of 700 million or even higher, it is a little unwatchable.

""Search" is placed at the end of the month, but I am afraid that it will also be affected."

Zhou Yutang chatted with Huang Xiaoming about the movie.

Not long ago, Han Sanping also mentioned that the "Titanic" application for an extension of the key was of course rejected.

In the following May, there will be another "Avengers", Marvel's superhero universe layout has been completed, and it is also coveting the Celestial Empire market.

This time it was a grand event, and several superhero actors such as Black Widow and Iron Man came over.

"Brother Xiao Ming, do you want to go and see "Embroidered Spring Knife" together?"

"The film came out?"

"Well, just done."

Anyway, the opening ceremony ended, and there was nothing left and right, so Zhou Yutang simply took Huang Xiaoming back to the company.

There are some things to deal with, and there is the fact that the post-production of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is finally completed.

Lu Yang is indeed talented.

The first film directed by him won an award in Busan, and this "Embroidered Spring Knife" was also shot very well.

The court and the rivers and lakes, the plot is rigorous, and every character in the film can be said to be angular.

Huang Xiaoming followed after watching the finished film, and said: "The overall atmosphere is very good, especially the part where Shi Shixue dances, the shooting is really good." ”

"This paragraph, Director Zhou personally supervised the formation."

Lu Yang's smile was a little excited.

Not only Huang Xiaoming, but also those who have watched the film so far think it is good.

Including Zhou Yutang, as well as Tian Zhuangzhuang from the Film Academy, as well as Xu Haofeng and several other teachers, they also gave a lot of opinions.

"Beware of arrogance and rashness, you still have a long way to go."

Tian Xiangzhuang was very optimistic about Lu Yang, and did not praise him much, but taught earnestly: "Work hard, continue to make progress, and the future belongs to you." ”

The finished film of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was submitted for review, just waiting for the release permit.

Zhou Yutang asked the company's marketing department to start marketing planning.

An excellent movie must not only have a good quality of the movie itself, but also marketing and publicity are also very important links, so that more audiences can know about it.

All events such as the Beijing International Film Festival have a very important purpose without exception, which is to promote exchanges between filmmakers from all over the world.

After the opening ceremony, Han Sanping pulled Zhou Yutang to the director exchange meeting, and Chen Kaige, Xiaogang Cannon and other famous directors in China were there.

After a brief greeting and listening to the reporter's interview with the truck driver, Zhou Yutang wanted to laugh a little.

The reporter was a little funny, and asked: "Do you think the films of the Celestial Empire lack technology or connotation?" ”

The truck driver also mentioned Zhou Yutang: "I don't think that Celestial Empire movies lack anything, in my opinion, the world's largest film market, Celestial Empire films are first-class, especially with excellent filmmakers like Zhou Yutang, who have achieved very good results in Hollywood." ”

"Of course, in addition to some cutting-edge technology, there may be restrictions on the filming of some subjects"

Gave face, but not completely.

There was a lot of discussion below, and the truck driver was very direct, but it was also to the point.

The film and television censorship system of the Celestial Empire is amazing, many well-known directors have been stuck, and sometimes there are indeed great restrictions on film creation.

"There is a leader who wants to see you, don't talk nonsense later."

Listening to Zhou Yutang's private complaints, Han Sanping was a little speechless, and specially instructed.

"Mr. Han, don't worry, I'm very steady."

Zhou Yutang patted his chest and promised.

"Xiao Zhou, do you have any suggestions for the development of Celestial Empire films?"

"Gradually implement a film classification system."

Zhou Yutang's opening was big, which made the faces of several leaders present change slightly, but they glanced at each other, and soon returned to normal, and said with a pleasant face: "Xiao Zhou, this matter has been raised internally, but the specific implementation still needs to be discussed at a meeting."

As soon as the leader's mouth opened and closed, he said a lot.

Starting from the overall situation, the steps should not be too big, and we should seek progress in stability, in short, it is reasonable and convincing.

Zhou Yutang nodded in understanding, and the leader's attitude was also very satisfied.

You can teach!

Then, after more than ten minutes of ideological education, he showed a little tone: "The movie you make will definitely have some support in terms of subject matter and censorship, but it can't be too much, there is a degree in it, you have to control it well"

"Oh?"

Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.

The leader patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhou, the contributions you have made are all in your eyes, the new Sino-US film agreement has been introduced, everyone is very sad, but there is pressure to be motivated, I hope you can make persistent efforts and continue to make progress, if you have any ideas in the future, you can also boldly put them forward."

Of course.

It's one thing for you to bring it up.

Whether it can be implemented or not is another matter.

After all, the Celestial Empire has its own national conditions, and the system is here.

However, Zhou Yutang is already very satisfied with this result.

Zhou Yutang and Xu Ke have also met several times, and they have exchanged in Berlin this year.

After finishing "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Xu Ke began to prepare for Huayi's second part of the Di Renjie series, "Shendu Dragon King".

Xu Ke is a very strange person.

This is embodied in his thinking ahead of his time.

As early as nearly 30 years ago, he made the first Xianxia movie "New Shu Mountain Swordsman".

Later, at the beginning of the century, he burned money to make "The Legend of Shu Mountain", which had treacherous and bizarre fairy magic weapons and whimsical special effects.

It's a pity that the box office and word-of-mouth of "The Legend of Shushan" at that time were not ideal, and it was not gradually understood until later.

Since then, Xu Laowei has been keen to combine 3D film technology with martial arts style, and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is such an experimental work.

Zhou Yutang has seen Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan", regardless of the story, this special effect was definitely quite explosive back then.

The two were also talking about 3D special effects, and a smile bloomed on Zhou Yutang's face: "Director Xu, communicate more in the future, and have some ideas to talk to you." ”

Xu Ke was slightly surprised: "Director Zhou, there is also a 3D movie plan in the back?" ”

"There are a lot of special effects for "Shocking Demon Thieves" to be done this year."

Zhou Yutang shook hands with Tsui Hark with a smile: "Maybe, there will be a chance to cooperate with Director Xu in the future, a fairy talescent mythological movie." ”

"I'm always available."

Old Monster Xu's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhou Yutang burned money to become a special effects company, and it was precisely for this.

Imagine that.

Li Chungang's sword came, and then he entered the realm of land sword immortals, thousands of sword rains, covering the sky and the sun, what a magnificent image.

Wang Xianzhi stands in Emperor Wu City, running the river and the sea, and the strength can cause the clouds of the nine heavens to droop, and the water of the four seas stands.

If "In the Snow" does well in the future, it will be able to do TV series and movies together.

Even, in the distance, among the gods, there are many myths and stories that can be excavated, such as Yang Jian, Nezha, and Jiang Ziya

Xianxia is also one of the genres of science fiction stories in the future of the Celestial Empire.

Edgeworth flies, chasing the wind and the moon.

It is a romance that is exclusive to the people of the Celestial Empire.
