Liu Yifei's voice acting work in the digital field went well, and she didn't know that her boyfriend was almost soiled on the other side of the city. By the time he came to Star Pictures in North America, "The Invisible Guest" was almost starting, and she found Sun Yi on the set.

"Yukun, I think your idea is very good, we have communicated many times in the past two days, you don't have pressure, let it go, I'll give you a cover."

Sun Yi saw Liu Yifei on the set, and motioned to her to wait for a while, she was still busy here, and nodded beautifully when she saw her, and continued to explain to Xin Yukun.

Xin Yukun came to the United States this time, thinking that it would be the same as Li Ruijun filming "Hidden in the Dust", Sun Yi was the main film, he was responsible for assisting, but he didn't think that after arriving in the United States, the plan changed, and he directly became Sun Yi's name, and he became the main force.

When I heard the news at first glance, of course, I was full of surprise, and at the same time, I was full of gratitude to Sun Yi, but then there was huge pressure.

Can I do it, this is a Hollywood movie, the cost of 3 million US dollars, more than 20 million RMB.

Xin Yukun has also filmed personal movies before, but they are all small productions that have been practiced, and this time he has risen from easy mode to hard mode, and the whole person is a little confused.

Fortunately, there was Wen Ziren on the side to help, and Sun Yi also helped him control several leading actors, otherwise he wouldn't know how to get it.

"Don't have any psychological burden on American actors, how to shoot and how to shoot, our heroine is a newcomer, but she has a lot of potential, you need to have more snacks in this regard, the other leading actors are all experienced, you just need to tell them what you need, we can keep communicating with other problems at any time, I will try to come back after a while."

Listening to Sun Yi's arrangement, Xin Yukun nodded solemnly, he understood that this shooting was both a pressure and an opportunity for him.

Sun Yi patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then walked towards Liu Yifei with a smile on his face.

"How's it going, how is the dubbing?"

"It's okay." Liu Yifei first laughed, then pursed her mouth again, and said a little depressedly, "I said that Disney is good, but I can't go there." ”

Sun Yi was a little helpless, he couldn't help it, yesterday Brother Fan wrote from China, saying that "Hidden in the Dust" was approved, and then Teacher Gong Li still had something to find himself, now there is no way, Disney with Liu Yifei can't go, so he can only return to China immediately tomorrow.

"I'll make it up to you next time, there's still a chance."

"Hmph~ I believe you once."

China Film Group is still Han Sanping's office.

Sun Yi is already familiar with this place, because this time it is a serious business, so he is very generous.

"Thank you, Third Master."

Han Sanping poured him a cup of tea, then changed hands and sat on the sofa, and Sun Yi thanked him.

"Lao Tong is still a good person, I worked with him back then, and I can do things, but my temperament is a little soft, and sometimes my will is not firm enough, but in terms of film review, it is still no problem to follow his path."

"It's still thanks to the third master's prompt."

Han Sanping waved his hand and said: "You also have this condition, okay, don't talk about the previous things, the movie has been reviewed, when will it be released, and, I heard that the special effects of "Pacific Rim" have been completed, when will the film be completed, and what do you need in terms of schedule?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Yi smiled slightly in his heart, Han Dong's previous words were all additives, and only the ones related to "Huantai" in the back were the main dishes.

It is no wonder that a "Avatar" won a box office of 1.6 billion in China, which not only shocked Hollywood, but also shocked Chinese filmmakers.

It turns out that the common people don't like to go to the cinema to watch movies, but there are no good films that can arouse their interest, and the box office income of this Hollywood production is almost the sum of the box office of domestic films a few years ago.

And now major film and television companies are chasing 3D movies, and they have put forward plans for domestic 3D movies, including Xu Laiwei in Xiangjiang, who has proposed to make a 3D martial arts.

And now the first domestic 3D movie in the real sense is Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim", and as for the fact that part of the film production is invested by the United States, it is directly ignored.

"Third master, I am preparing to release this movie overseas at the same time, so I have to arrange the release dates of various countries in a unified manner, I expect it to be around July, the summer file."

Han Sanping stroked the back of his head, and after thinking about it for a while, this is indeed the reason.

A good meal is not afraid of being late, since it has been completed, it is still the second real 3D production after "Avatar", and at the same time, it also represents Chinese films to a certain extent, and it is necessary to release them overseas simultaneously, and it has to be done in a big way.

"Okay, the whole summer file, you can choose, as for "Hidden in the Dust", it will be in June, and there will be a "Kung Fu Dream" by Cheng Long at the same time, and there will be a "Ip Man Prequel" at the end of the month, and there will be nothing else."

Sun Yi looked at the June schedule that Han Sanping had given him just now, and nodded.

This thing is basically semi-public, so it's not a big deal to show it to Sun Yi, Sun Yi noticed that there was a "People in Embarrassment" in early June, this movie is famous, but the period of release in my memory is not quite right, it is not popular, and the box office performance is not very high.

A movie that reflects the Spring Festival and going home for the New Year was actually released in June in the middle of the year, and I don't know what this production company thinks, it is a good film in vain.

"Okay, then June, listen to Han Dong's arrangement." Sun Yi closed the schedule and smiled with satisfaction.

Next, Sun Yi and Han Dong discussed the promotion of "Huantai" again, after all, when the contract was signed, this master agreed, as the publisher, he gave an additional 100 million yuan for publicity, don't forget at this time.

It's not that Sun Yi is careful, the starry sky at that time was indeed tight on funds, although it is much better now, but the family has a big business, the stalls are too wide, and it is not so rich, so you have to save a little, besides, in addition to the proportion of investment, China Film also has an additional 15% distribution share, lying down to make money.

"The big boss of a listed company, still cares about these three melons and two dates?" Han Sanping asked Sun Yi with some playfulness, as if he was going to repay the debt.

"Third master, that's not right, this landlord's family has no surplus grain." Sun Yi replied with a smile.

Han Sanping pointed at Sun Yi's fingers, and said that there was no surplus food at home for a boss like Sun Yi, so he couldn't cry or laugh, and finally had to laugh and scold,

"You, you, you, what you said at the beginning, what to do now, you are indispensable."

"Thank you, Third Master." When Sun Yi heard this, he thanked him with satisfaction, what about a small goal, how many people's life dreams, how can you say let it go.

After discussing some propaganda details, Sun Yi then got up and said goodbye.

Back to the starry sky, Teacher Gong Li has been there for a while, it is Liu Yifei who is accompanied, when Sun Yi enters the office, this big and small is chatting a little energetically, although Sun Yi looks at most of Liu Yifei taking the initiative to speak, but Teacher Gong Li will also respond a few words in a timely manner, just right to control the rhythm.

"Sister Li, I heard that you are looking for me, just say something, and you still need to come to the door in person."

Sun Yi said politely, he has a lot of respect for Gong Li, although her first impression is full of aura and full of oppression, but after getting acquainted with it, you will find that she is still very good at talking in private, not to mention, she also helped Liu Yifei a lot in the crew before.

Gong Li's sense of Sun Yi is also very good, and when she first came to participate in the filming of "Hidden in the Dust", she did have a little bit of anger with Zhang Guoshi and Zhang Wei, but after contacting Sun Yi, she found that he did not have a little bit of arrogance.

Moreover, Sun Yi, as a director, has great respect for actors, not the kind of director who has to listen to me and has a strong desire to control, but gives the actors full room for personal play, and is not like the king of sunglasses, without a clear demand, so Gong Li's cooperation with Sun Yi this time is very pleasant.

At least, she hasn't had such a good time acting in a long time.

"Sun Yi, I came to you today, and there is indeed something wrong, so I'll tell you directly." After Gong Li saw Sun Yi, she opened her mouth generously.

"Sister Li, let's be honest, I'm not happy if you go around the bend." Sun Yi naturally sat opposite Gong Li, next to Liu Yifei.

Gong Li chuckled lightly and said to him, "I heard that the screening permit for the movie has come down?" ”

"Well, it's down, I just went to China Film today to set a schedule, and it will be released in June."

"In June, I don't know, are you interested in exhibiting with this film?" Gong Li nodded and asked.

Exhibition? Are there any film festivals at this time of the year?

Except for Cannes, it seems, there is nothing else.

Sun Yi was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "I don't have this idea yet, Sister Li, what do you mean?" ”

"I am the recommender of the Asian exhibition works of this year's Cannes Film Festival, mainly assisting in the selection of Chinese film works, but so far, I have not seen any particularly outstanding films, I think our film is very good, it would be a pity not to participate in the exhibition."

Oh. That's what it looks like.

After all, Sun Yi has participated in the Cannes Film Festival twice, and he knows that the Cannes Film Festival has film promoters in all regions of the world, and his short films and "Untouchable" were sent to the exhibition through Asian recommenders.

Unexpectedly, this year's recommender in Asia is Teacher Gong Li.

But.

The next second, Sun Yi was a little hesitant, in fact, before making this movie, he had considered the issue of participating in the exhibition, in his previous life, this film participated in the Berlin Film Festival, and was also shortlisted for the final unit, although it did not win the award in the end, but it was the only domestic film shortlisted that year.

And with him, the Berlin Film Festival can't catch up, and the evaluation is finished in March, leaving Cannes in May.

No, I didn't want to participate at all.

Whether this film is a realistic theme, or reflects the current situation of the working people at the bottom of Chinese society, it seems to be a bit of a suspicion to lick it when it is taken out for exhibition.

"Sun Yi, do you have any concerns?"

Seeing Sun Yi thinking about it, Gong Li was a little puzzled, these days, there are still directors who don't want to participate in the three major European ones.

But Sun Yi is an exception, he doesn't feel how awesome the three are in his bones, and he is happy, so he has no choice but to hang it. The main thing is that he is afraid of being scolded.

Hearing Teacher Gong Li ask like this, Sun Yi didn't hide it, and said what he thought in his heart in more euphemistic words.

Speaking of which, I really don't complain about Sun Yi, the so-called art directors in those years followed the trend and took out all kinds of dark themes in domestic society to participate in exhibitions.

It has greatly damaged China's image and attracted a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Gong Li thought for a while, and then asked Sun Yi rhetorically:

"Did you make this movie with the intention of winning an award?"

"It's not." Sun Yi shook his head.

"Is that to expose the dark side of society and the suffering of the working people at the bottom?"

"No, I just think that the hardships and objective existence of the working people at the bottom should attract wider attention from the society to help them."

"That's right, since your original intention is not here, what are you afraid of? What the movie is filmed is nothing more than people and things, we Chinese filmmakers, that is the story of the Chinese and the Chinese, we have a clear conscience, that is to care about other people's opinions, then we don't have to do anything. ”

"What's more, a movie is not just your director's business, but also the result of the joint efforts of all the cast and crew, so it's not fair to them."

When Sun Yi heard it, it was indeed very reasonable, why should he worry so much? He was persuaded by Teacher Gong Li.

An excellent movie can't give up her honor just because she's afraid of two comments on the Internet.

"Okay, Sister Li, then please help, let's go to Cannes again."

"That's right."

After Gong Li left with a smile on her face, Sun Yi felt a little hindsight, as if this sister had told her a lot, the sentence "The result of the joint efforts of all the cast and crew." "That's the point.

Sun Yi smiled secretly in his heart, it doesn't matter, his previous concerns were a little immature, let's see if he can gain anything from Cannes this year.

The so-called people sit at home, and the pot comes from heaven.

Two days after returning to China, Sun Yi had just finished a few things at hand, and before he had time to rest, there was a situation at the Hong Kong Island Academy Awards over there.

On April 29th, the 29th Hong Kong Island Film Awards officially fell lonely, and it was nothing, and it had nothing to do with Sun Yi, he didn't participate at all.

But I don't know who started it, and this public opinion suddenly quarreled.

First, netizens on both sides talked about the award-winning films on the Internet more "calmly", and then some reporters who didn't think about it reported on the end, and also took out the defeat of Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" on Hong Kong Island last year.

Feng Xiaogang is also a stubble, he held his stomach last year because of this, and he came again this year?

He directly fired a cannon and did it with the Hong Kong circle.

In the interview, he directly scolded the Hong Kong Island audience for discriminating against mainland films, no matter how big the production or how good the movie is, it is low-level in the eyes of Hong Kong Island people, and it is not as good as the films on the Bay Island, and the Academy Awards are not fair, and they defend Hong Kong Island's own people everywhere.

He is a big director with a comprehensive box office of more than one billion, and he is not as good as a director with a box office of just over 100 million in Bay Island, which is completely aimed at him, and even for mainland movies.

Feng Xiaogang didn't care about what he was looking for, and the Hong Kong circle immediately replied.

accuses him and other mainland directors of discriminating against and excluding Hong Kong Island actors, even if they are used to play the leading roles, they will always be so many old people.

In the examples, Sun Yi and Ning Hao are in the forefront, and award-winning directors such as Section Chief Jia and Wang Xiaoshuai are in the back, especially Sun Yi, the reports in the Hong Kong circle have said a lot, and to sum up, there are several movies since the debut of this product, and there is not a single Xiangjiang actor.

The director of commercial films is in the front, and Sun Yi is still the first, which is very realistic.

But counting carefully, Sun Yi has made so many movies, and it seems that he has never used Hong Kong Island actors.

However, he is also wronged in his heart, if you can reduce the salary, the ghost will not want to use it.

The salary of actors of the same level is twice or even triple that of the mainland, so only fools can use it.

Sun Yi hasn't responded yet, but Feng Xiaogang directly said that he will never consider the box office on Hong Kong Island in his future movies.

What he meant was, it doesn't matter, I won't play with you anymore.

Now it's okay, the contradiction has completely intensified, and the media on both sides are full of verbal criticism and writing from you and me.

And Sun Yi, who is currently the first person to record the box office of domestic films, has become the focus of both sides.
