Chapter 464: Gift Tablet?

The movie with the prefix should be regarded as the most profitable film in the field of commercial films since the establishment of China Film.

With its name of "gift film", not only actors from the two sides of the strait rushed to act, but also participated in the performance on the grounds of friendship, although the salary was not 0, but it was enough to only take a small red envelope.

As a result, the movie with the prefix can often gather hundreds of domestic star actors, but the cost is not high, and most of them are used in practice.

There is no shortage of old dramas, there are also popular stars, the money is used in practice, and the script is a serious epic, which makes the box office performance of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" very gratifying.

In 2009, the film premiered at the half-day box office of 14.77 million, setting a new box office record on the opening day, with a total of 4 and a half days of screening in the first week, achieving a box office of 124.36 million yuan, and the final box office of the film was nearly 400 million yuan, directly becoming the most successful film produced by China Film.

As the chief producer and chief director, Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin also tasted the sweetness, discovered the "wealth code", and immediately started the preparation of the second tribute film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which was ready to be sent on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the party in 2011.

On the one hand, it is to complete the production task of the main theme movie above, and on the other hand, it also makes some money for China Film.

God is pitiful, in the past ten years, the main theme movies made by China Film have all ended in losses, and now is not the era of the sixties and seventies of the last century, when various main theme movies occupied the mainstream of the market.

Today's audiences don't like to watch movies with the main theme at all, and the emergence of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" can be said to be a way to be rediscovered after the main theme movies in the mainland fell into the quagmire.

Last month, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" was officially launched, and it still brought together hundreds of famous actors in the circle, and the battle was even greater, and directors such as Li Shaohong, Lu Yu, and Shen Dong also undertook part of the directorial work and co-directed.

However, Han Sanping just started talking about this, and he never thought that Wu Yuan would agree to come to "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" to participate in the co-directing, the chief directors of this movie can only be Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin, and Wu Yuan cannot match them.

Sure enough, when Wu Yuan heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "Han Dong, I am sorry for my mistaken love, I still have a bunch of things to be busy with at hand, I am really powerless!" ”

"Huh!" Han Sanping stepped forward and grabbed Wu Yuan's hand, waiting for your words!

"It's good to have this heart!"

Han Sanping said with a smile: "Director Wu hasn't filmed this gift film for the country yet, right?" ”

"Director Wu, it's not me saying you, as the most appealing and influential director among the contemporary young directors in China, you can't help but take this matter of gift to the country to heart."

"This" Wu Yuan was a little puzzled, whether Han Dong persuaded him from the perspective of Zhongying, or let Han Dong persuade him.

If it was Zhongying, Wu Yuan would definitely want to refuse without hesitation, he was really not interested in giving gifts or anything.

And "Gravity" is also half a tribute film, at least it enjoys the treatment of a gift film, and the effect is similar to that of a tribute film, but there is no tribute in the subject matter.

But if it is the meaning of the top, then Wu Yuan has to think about it.

He hesitated for a moment, did not refuse directly, but said in a roundabout way: "I can't catch up with the 90th anniversary of the founding of the party next year, I can't schedule it in the second half of the year, so I can't make a gift film hastily, then the gift will not be successful, but it will be perfunctory." ”

"It's okay!" Who knows, Han Dong said more happily: "Director Wu's movie must be well prepared." ”

"I'm talking to you about the 70th anniversary of the 2015 Anti-FXS War and the victory of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression."

"Next year's gift film for the founding of the party, it is enough to have "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party"!"

Damn, I'm waiting here!

It's only 2010 now, and Han Dong is already thinking about 2015, and he really has a far-reaching plan.

But he was not wrong to do this, with Wu Yuan's current busyness and work arrangement, if he didn't set a project with him a few years in advance, and waited until two years later, maybe he really didn't have time, or it would disrupt his plan.

"In 2015," Wu Yuan smashed his mouth and pondered.

September 3, 2015 is the 70th anniversary, and if it is released on this day, at least 2014 will start filming, and 2013 will have to make the script, which is indeed not much time left for him to prepare.

He has to finish his few movies in 2012, and he is just in time to start preparing this tribute film.

It's just that what kind of gift film should be made to be brilliant?

Wu Yuan's brain was almost blank.

The tribute film wants to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the anti-French war, and the theme must be related to World War II, and on the one hand, it must reflect the significance of anti-war, and on the other hand, it must pay tribute to the bloody struggle of the ancestors, which brought about the current peace.

It seems quite simple to say, but in this theme that has been filmed countless times by directors around the world, it is not easy to make a good film that is enough for fans to remember, and there are even fewer Chinese themes.

What Wu Yuan can think of, if it is not produced by China Film, it is the "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Yimou, but this movie was released in 2011, and the reputation is polarized, not so good.

If you want him to make a tribute film that will be released in 2015, there seems to be no better choice than to make the script himself!

Or bring out "My Motherland and Me" or "Me and My Fathers"?

No one disturbed Wu Yuan's contemplation, even Han Dong stood there quietly, waiting for Wu Yuan's response.

After a few minutes, he came back to his senses from his divergent thinking, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Han Dong, I was thinking about how to shoot it just now." ”

"I know this, I'll take it to heart, and we'll talk about it later."

In the end, Wu Yuan still agreed to Han Dong.

With Han Dong's active guidance, he hoped that he would shoot in and out of his words, and it could be seen that this was not just Han Dong's personal thoughts, he must have been instructed by his superiors.

It is also understandable that after filming "Gravity", it is impossible not to attach importance to Wu Yuan as a director, and I believe that Wu Yuan can make an excellent main theme movie.

In this case, the top must be unwilling to completely release Wu Yuan, the era of domestic state-run film studios has not passed for a few years, and the old leaders still have some "administrative habits and views", and it is normal for directors to issue some "political" tasks.

Since he wants to mix in this system, Wu Yuan can also accept to take on some tasks and responsibilities given by the organization without disrupting his own plans.

"Then it's decided!"

Han Dong smiled with a relaxed smile after the task was completed, "When you have the domestic premiere of "Interstellar" in a few days, I will definitely be there to cheer!" (End of chapter)
