We always say that the Hong Kong circle is declining, but in fact, the market has given Hong Kong Island directors opportunities.

The first is the historical theme, Hong Kong Island directors have made a lot of historical blockbusters in recent years, from "Ink Attack" to "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and now "Guan Yunchang".

Hong Kong Island directors shoot historical themes, and the good thing to say is that it is imaginative, and the bad thing is to make it up.

Judging from the results, mainland audiences no longer eat the style of "everything is overdone, all crazy".

"It's all overdone, it's all crazy" was originally a criticism of Hong Kong films.

Even the leading actor Zhen Dan said in an interview afterwards that he shouldn't take "Guan Yunchang", he admitted frankly that he hadn't read "Three Kingdoms", he was an idiot in "Three Kingdoms", and it was Jiang Wen who was playing, as the protagonist, he couldn't suppress Jiang Wen in his aura at all, and although he hadn't read "Three Kingdoms", he also knew that Guan Yu's beard couldn't be shaved, and the crew actually challenged the audience's cognitive bottom line to shave Guan Yu's beard.

Therefore, after the decline of Hong Kong Island films, the market is not that there is no opportunity, but that they can't make it.

After passing five levels and cutting six generals, how was it filmed as a hall challenge.

Although the box office of "Guan Yunchang" has now rushed to 150 million, compared to the cost of 80 million investment of 100 million for publicity, this movie has failed.

In the second half of this year, there will be another "Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", without Liu Yifei, I don't know what this film will be like.

After Hong Kong Island directors mess up historical themes, the market will give them another chance in the future - the main theme blockbuster.

I'll leave that later.

The overall results of this year's May Day file are very unsatisfactory, there is no big guide town, and there is no dark horse to kill, everything is mediocre and boring.

Liu Yifei has flown to Cannes, and on the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, an earth-shattering event occurred in the domestic calligraphy and painting industry.

The remaining mountain map of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum departed from Wulin and flew to Bay Island to meet the covenant of the union 361 years apart.

Zhang Yuanjun is not sure whether he will go to the exhibition at that time, but he clearly knows that a bad movie that is enough to be embedded in the pillar of shame of Chinese movies is about to be born.

Liu Yifei's dress on the red carpet at the opening of Cannes is from Dior's spring/summer collection this year, a goose yellow off-the-shoulder dress. (I haven't worn it in reality, but this set of clothes is really beautiful, definitely suitable for the fairy, and readers who have found it can go to the picture)

I have to say that Liu Yifei's choice of Dior, or Dior's choice of Liu Yifei, is an extremely correct decision.

Liu Yifei is very suitable for Dior, or John Galliano's design is very suitable for Liu Yifei.

In contrast, the red crane dress worn by Fan Bingbing this year is a bit vulgar, and this dress is really not good-looking.

While Liu Yifei was busy brushing her face at various events in Cannes, Zhang Yuanjun received a guest in his studio in Beijing.

The person who came introduced himself as from Bay Island, was an employee of Kemi Wisdom, and the staff of Zhang Yuanjun who was looking for first.

Employees are familiar with Kemi Wisdom, but they can't remember which company.

The person explained: "It's Sister Chai Zhiping's company, you should have heard of it." ”

"You know, you are here today?"

"Today, I want to come to Mr. Zhang Yuanjun to talk about copyright issues."

"Copyright issues?"

At this time, Zhang Yuanjun happened to come in from outside, and when he heard this, he was also puzzled.

When the visitor saw Zhang Yuanjun himself, he hurriedly got up: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am the music director of Wandao Kemi Wise, my surname is Wu, hello hello." ”

"Oh, hello, hello." Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with him inexplicably, "Let's talk inside." Zhang Yuanjun invited him into his office.

"I'm really embarrassed to come here." Mr. Wu is quite polite.

"No, I just have time."

The two sat down in the office, and this Mr. Wu explained his intention and asked to buy the copyright of Zhang Yuanjun's song "Those Years".

"We made a movie called "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and we wanted to use this song as our theme song."

Then he told Zhang Yuanjun the general story of the movie: "Our story is very close to your songs, both about youth and regrets on campus, so I hope you can generously authorize us to make the theme song." ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say." Copyright doesn't cost money, and it is generously authorized when it comes up.

Mr. Wu continued: "I have also been to your music company Mai Tian before, but Mai Tian said that the copyright of the song is in your own hands. ”

In Zhang Yuanjun's current encyclopedia information, the music company still writes wheat fields, so it's no wonder that he will look for it.

"The copyright is indeed in my hands." Zhang Yuanjun affirmed.

"That's good, I don't know what you think about the price of copyright, we sincerely hope that you can authorize us."

Zhang Yuanjun is no longer in the music scene, and he doesn't pay much attention to the song authorization: "Let's just come at the market price." ”

Director Wu has long had an abacus in his heart, Zhang Yuanjun's album back then was a real million-selling platinum record, and he does not sing now, but he has a very high position in the film industry, and it is not too much to call him a superstar.

For such a person's song authorization, he must give the price all at once.

"Then five...... Half a million? Director Wu asked tentatively.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I won't sing for a long time, I agree to the price you gave." ”

Zhang Yuanjun knew that the price was already very high, after all, he was not a singer of the level of Lin Junjie and Jay Chou - their authorization was million.

His song can still sell for 500,000 copyrights, which is already very good.

Director Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, let's just say it." ”

"Okay, I'll ask someone to make a contract for you."

"That's it...... I still have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to say it or not. After talking about the song authorization, Director Wu squirmed to say another thing.

"It's okay, you say." Zhang Yuanjun can't help but let people talk.

"We will try our best to release this movie in the mainland, and I hope you can come to see it when the mainland promotes it." Director Wu was very polite when he said this.

But that's another price!

Zhang Yuanjun pushed: "When will your movie be released?" ”

"On August 19, Bay Island will be released."

"Can the mainland be synchronized?"

"No," he shook his head, "we've fought for it before, but it's difficult, it'll be a little later." "In fact, the crew of "Those Years" has never fought for the simultaneous release in the mainland, and the crew doesn't know what this film will sell, how dare they make such a big release at once.

Zhang Yuanjun said politely: "I don't know if there will be time then, you can make an appointment with my agent." ”

The director also knew that it was unlikely that he would succeed in making an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun in such a hurry, and he didn't care, as Zhang Yuanjun said, the release date in the mainland was not set in a hurry, and the normal appointment date, and the theme song was sung by him, so he would definitely save face when the time came.

The licensing agreement for "Those Years" was quickly drafted, and it was not the first time to do such a thing, and the two sides quickly signed it, and Director Wu left with the licensing agreement satisfied. (End of chapter)
