Chapter 196: Winning the Palme d'Or! This time face Chen Kaige! Hexi Corridor Premiere!
Su Yi recalled in his heart.
It seems that the movie he wants to make is invested by Shanghai Film in the original world.
Now Bayi Factory is involved, and the education department is also going to join in.
Should this investment be increased again?
Investing in a movie is certainly limitless.
At present, Bayi Factory has invested 300 million yuan, and the education department has taken out 200 million yuan.
If Shangying continues to participate, it will cost 300 million.
800 million film investment!
This number alone sounds like a tingling of the scalp.
Ordinary directors don't dare to take it at all.
At that time, many directors of Bayi Factory avoided it when they heard that they were going to shoot a movie about the overseas war.
It's a lot of pressure!
In 2006, 800 million yuan was invested in domestic films.
How much can the box office be?
In 2002, the "Hero" list had a box office of 250 million.
In 2003, "Mobile Phone" had a box office of 56 million.
In 2004, "Kung Fu" had a box office of 160 million.
It is not difficult to see that there are basically no masterpieces of war.
The previous soldier assault was even the first domestic military drama with tens of millions of investments.
"Leader, there are already two departments involved in the investment in this film. And the investment amount is not small. โ
Su Yi smiled bitterly, this time he felt the pressure.
"I know about it, but we are also very interested in such a movie"
Chairman Wang's smile was a little 'cunning'.
And it also 'doesn't give an inch'.
He knows that this is a good opportunity, Director Su Yi is so easy to invite?
Institutional matters always spread quickly, especially such major events.
Although Su Yi is now the National Film Bureau, the General Administration can't really let him work, and most of the time he is in name.
The real work is still in the central station, and because of this matter, the central station also found a higher-level leader and 'forcibly' left Su Yi in the central station.
And after Su Yi negotiated the copyright issue this time, he was going to shoot a documentary.
This back and forth, basically half a year has passed.
In the second half of the year, it is estimated that he will direct the project of Bayi Film Studio.
A year is coming to an end!
This made Chairman Wang a little anxious.
Originally, China Film was in full swing, winning four Oscars for a parasite, and earning a lot of box office in North America and Stick Country.
Han Sanping was also promoted because of this, and completely grasped the rights of China Film.
If this continues, their identity in the film will be even more embarrassing.
are also film and television companies, and they also want to make progress in the film.
To tell the truth, before Su Yi came, Chairman Wang had already thought that he must cry poor in the leaders, they didn't have many belongings, and now they have to be taken away and used, so they put their status very low.
Director Wang also knows that it is difficult to level a bowl of water, but it has to be passed on the surface.
So in addition to royalties, they are also allowed to put forward a little condition.
After all, this is the central station spending money - because of Su Yi's matter, Director Wang is also quite complaining.
"Our investment will not change, at least it must be the same as Bayi Factory, otherwise. Prioritize our films. โ
Chairman Wang half-jokingly.
"With the soldier assault, it was still broadcast on Dongfang Satellite TV, and many people subconsciously felt that the magic capital was out of military dramas. So we don't have anything to prioritize. โ
This sentence is a bit of a strong word.
But now that's what they are.
Shangying Beauty belongs to their management, and in the overall situation, it must be that Shangying's profit and development are more important.
This Chairman Wang is much more difficult.
"The copyright of Shangmeiying, we use it at will?"
Su Yi suddenly raised his head.
800 million investment in 'one' movie, it is definitely impossible.
But a spoonful of stew, too, is okay.
"That's right, feel free to use it. But it's not too much to divide the profits of peripheral goods into one-fifth, right? โ
One out of five is okay.
Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Even if it's half, they all have profits, but it's not interesting anymore.
"But if we want to develop a new cartoon series independently, you can't stop it - of course we won't rub the popularity of other versions."
Chairman Wang has actually prepared the conditions for a long time.
This can also be done by sharing copyrights and can be developed together.
"The conditions are acceptable!"
Su Yi smiled.
This Chairman Wang is really difficult to deal with.
But it went well.
It is estimated that it is also because of the documents of the leaders above, otherwise there would not even be such a transaction.
After all, it is a state-owned enterprise, and even if Shangmeiying closes, other departments will take over.
Slowly keep the copyright, maybe you can still use it.
"That Movie"
Chairman Wang coughed.
"After filming the documentary, I went. It's about October. โ
The filming of the documentary is continuous.
Let the bullets fly and take a look from time to time, despite the ginger lines, there is basically no problem.
Although Su Yi is still a director, many things can be arranged for others, just supervise the production himself.
For example, the children's channel is now on the air, I love ancient poetry.
The competition system is still a family group, which attracts many people to watch.
Even if you don't have your own name, it's still popular.
The point is that there are also bonuses offered by advertisers, and once broadcast, the ratings remain high.
So most of the time, you can be a hands-off shopkeeper.
"October? Good! If the script is finalized, I want to see it - not because I don't trust you, but because I'm curious. My father, too, died in that battle, so I wanted to see the script. โ
There are actually quite a few movies about overseas battles.
"Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "Shangganling" and so on.
But they are all too old, and the picture is no longer accepted by the young people of today.
They will even choose to watch cartoons like the rabbit to understand that too much time has passed, decades.
It's the fault of these film companies!
After saying it for so long, this sentence is the most sincere.
Su Yi nodded, and the framework had been written.
The rest was handed over to a few screenwriters in the editor-in-chief's office to improve.
When the time comes, their names will be written on the movie, and money will also be given.
Now it's okay, there's only one to choose.
"Changjin Lake"!
And the follow-up Watergate Bridge!
800 million investment, two films.
The three investors can be fully satisfied.
It's a win-win.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, the ticket is still booked tomorrow. Let's take a good look at it today, how about it? โ
"Welcome, welcome! Actually, I had no purpose just now, and I was very ashamed. โ
Director Jin said hurriedly.
Although Shangmei Film is not open to the public now, many places inside it are like museums.
Director Jin even invited a staff member who is familiar with the history of Shangmei Film to explain.
Chairman Wang also accompanied him today, and he could see it.
He's in a good mood.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
China Film Group.
"Loyalty, called me? Just finished the meeting. โ
The newly appointed vice chairman of China Film Group managed Han Sanping on behalf of him when he was on a business trip.
The parasite movie incident has attracted a great response.
Since winning the Oscar, Han Sanping has been very busy.
Calls are often unreachable.
Since the last time he talked about letting the bullets fly, Su Yi hadn't seen him.
Wang Zhongjun called several times, but after getting no response, he called the vice chairman.
"Chairman Xue, we have a project now and want to report it."
After Wang Zhongjun touched the nail from Su Yi, he didn't give up.
In his own words, it is impossible for Su Yi not to participate, and they will dissolve the company, right?
This time is a huge business opportunity, with patriotic feelings, and the popularity bonus of the rabbit.
That's why this movie has to be made!
Zhang Yi has no time to shoot "Full City".
Other directors also contacted a lot, and even Li Shaohong found it.
But Li Shaohong has been turning around the matter of the Dream of New Red Mansions, and it seems that he has never given up.
Although the script was rejected by the General Directorate, it has been 'working hard'.
After all, the General Administration is not very powerful in the eyes of some units.
Especially in 2006!
So Li Shaohong is not in the mood for this movie, and he is not sure at all.
Su Yi also rejected him, and some directors of Xiangjiang also made it clear that they would not shoot at this time.
After all, Su Yi is in full swing, and ordinary directors can't avoid it.
It simply won't rush at this time.
There are not many famous directors left.
There is only one Chen Kaige left.
Chen Kaige readily agreed, he needed such an opportunity.
He even thought it was a godsend.
But just relying on the three hundred million of their Huayi brothers is not enough - the price of 500 million for Su Yi was before.
However, Chen Kaige first invested 300 million yuan to compare insurance.
The rest is still to find investment.
Zhongying is a good choice, no matter how stinky Wuji is, Chen Kaige still has a certain reputation.
Even in later generations who have been defeated repeatedly, they can still direct big productions.
"Zhongjun, do you want to call Han Dong first."
Vice Chairman Xue knew Han Sanping's temper and said nothing.
In China Film Group, he is a big company, although he, the vice chairman, is also friends with him, but he only does some small things.
For such a thing as investing in movies, it is better for Han Sanping to decide.
Although Han Sanping is not very accurate every time.
"Chairman Xue, we have invested 300 million yuan in this project, and it is also a very hot project recently. Did you see the rabbit? โ
Chairman Xue was stunned.
The rabbit?
It's been a fire recently, but isn't that Su Yi's project?
The Huayi brothers and Su Yi are also well known.
It was very stiff at that time.
"Our director is director Chen Kaige, and he has invested 300 million, I think it will be a great success, and it will also fill the gap that we have no war masterpieces after the first year!"
Wang Zhongjun knew that Vice Chairman Xue still had this right.
"About the war abroad? Loyal army, this theme is good! Okay, then I'll make a note of it first, and when Chairman Han's phone is connected, I'll ask for instructions. โ
Such a war masterpiece is indeed within the scope of Zhongying's consideration.
"Cheng, then I'll wait for your good news!"
Wang Zhongjun's heart was relieved by more than half.
There is such a relationship, as well as Vice Chairman Xue's plea.
Basically, Han Sanping will agree.
ยทยทยทยท
August 2006.
It's starting to get hot.
At the end of the Hexi Corridor, the temperature difference between morning and evening is much larger.
Lao Wang's face was dark, but there was brilliance in his eyes.
It's completely different from when he was on Capital TV.
Wind and sun, no exaggeration.
To be honest, it's still tiring to shoot outside, and the weather changes very quickly.
When you go to some places to shoot, you even need to be led by a local professional.
"Director Wang, we should also leave. Still a little reluctant? โ
Su Yi laughed.
A few months have passed.
The rabbit is still on the air, and it has become the ratings champion in the first half of 2006, which makes a cartoon pressed and beaten, and also makes other TV series directors very aggrieved.
Da Qin Fu has already finished filming, and Yang Mi asked himself if he could participate in the publicity two days ago.
However, with Zheng Xiaolong here, Su Yi is not worried that this TV series will hit the streets.
Among them, there are also many famous actors.
And most notably, the parasite won the Palme d'Or!
Although Su Yi and Jiang Wen did not go, even Liu Yifei did not go to the red carpet.
But the parasite still won the Palme d'Or.
A movie, Cannes Palme d'Or, Academy Awards!
There's even a Golden Globe and so on.
This can be regarded as making the West and North America remember the name Su Yi.
Originally, Jiang Wen still wanted to go this time, which could be regarded as raising the publicity of "Let the Bullets Fly".
But Su Yi really didn't have time or interest.
Prove yourself worthy, that's enough.
This can be regarded as an uproar in the entire film industry.
Many people in China are very envious, especially some fifth-generation directors and sixth-generation directors.
Before that, the only person who won the Palme d'Or was one of Chen Kaige's works.
The rest are almost all nominations.
Now Su Yi has changed the status quo of Chen Kaige's family dominance, and it can be regarded as completely breaking Chen Kaige's golden body.
After all, in the previous world, the 5th generation of directors and the 6th generation of directors were proud of the Oscannes Awards.
Movies are more literary and artistic, but Chen Kaige won this special award.
So no matter how he hits the street at the box office, his reputation is still there.
And it has always been favored by investors.
After all, when I made a movie with him, I didn't lose much, and sometimes I could make some money.
Most of the later films are biased towards commercial films, because after 2010, the box office market of Dragon Kingdom films also began to grow significantly, and this is the era when world films will look at Dragon Kingdom, so few people are willing to shoot thankless literary films.
And in the whole of Asia, it seems that only Chen Kaige and later Parasite won this award.
There is only one Chen Kaige in the Dragon Kingdom, and this fame can barely be maintained.
But now it has been broken by Su Yi, which is a huge harm to Chen Kaige.
However, Su Yi has been filming this documentary, but he has not been able to see Chen Kaige's wonderful reaction.
The entire Dragon Kingdom film industry was in an uproar, and the media reported it for three consecutive days.
Even the proud six princesses. Before the movie was played, it was rare to report on the incident.
"Congratulations to director Su Yi for winning the Palme d'Or for his work, Parasite. This film is our pride and the pride of the country of sticks. โ
The first sentence is normal, but the latter sentence is completely aimed at the country of sticks.
The sixth princess has always been like this, she speaks to the point, and her ability to break the defense is very strong.
The stick country, which had complained about the Oscars before, is now looking at the West with anger.
That sentence was also the pride of the stick country, and it completely stung them.
And they still can't figure it out, obviously in 2005, the Dragon Kingdom was still their main battlefield, but now it has completely changed.
Of course, there was also a news that came out quietly during this period, and it did not even occupy the pages of the newspaper.
Just mentioned.
"The Dream of Red Mansions project, directed by director Li Shaohong, was restarted, after changing the script before. Director Li Shaohong and screenwriter retained respect for the original work. Under the re-examination of the General Administration, the script has been preliminarily reviewed, and the actors are being prepared. โ
In the face of Su Yi's overwhelming news reports, this matter is really not to worry about, even deliberately low-key.
At this time, most of the news reports were inclined to Su Yixin's documentary.
Su Yi, who had been filming in other places, didn't even notice it.
Actually, he didn't care.
Because in his world, the Dream of New Red Mansions is very different from his teacher's attitude of respecting the original work, so he made a move.
It can be regarded as going through the back door and strangling this new dream of red mansions in the cradle.
Even now even if I know that it has been resurrected, there is no turmoil in my heart, and I have even forgotten about it a little.
"If you want to say reluctant, there must be! The scenery here is simply beautiful, and the level of these foreign photographers also amazed me, I learned a lot of knowledge, didn't I always ask about the original things before, in fact, I was a photographer, and then I changed careers to become a director. Compared with foreign shooting technology, we are indeed a little worse. However, it has finally achieved a satisfactory result. This documentary, which cost more than 20 million, will hit the ratings extremely high! Where is this documentary, it's just a movie, I watched the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty filmed last year, and it is not as ambitious as yours. โ
Wang Xiaoling sighed with some admiration, and even sweared.
He couldn't have achieved anything like this in his life.
This documentary alone made him breathtaking!
Although he was only responsible for shooting the scenery, he also watched the finished effect of the first few episodes.
This documentary, which has not yet been broadcast, is destined to write a strong stroke in the history of Dragon Kingdom documentaries.
"Director Wang, you really praise me, I don't have such big ambitions, I just want to show all the culture of our country. Although the previous Emperor of the Han Dynasty is also a high-quality product, but the investment is too small to be shocking, this shooting, some of the characters in it are also from the crew of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which will increase the sense of substitution - the videos of the first few episodes have been completed, and the filming of the next few episodes is also finished, just waiting to be played. โ
Su Yi stretched.
This time, the number of local troops alone reached tens of thousands.
There are also countless costumes, armor, makeup, special effects and weapons, more than 20 million are almost not enough.
But. It's really a documentary made according to the movie!
There was a hint of expectation in Lao Wang's eyes.
Because he knows that this epic documentary will also have his name on it.
Lao Wang was convinced this time, he called himself a genius, so it seems.
It's so far off!
"The director of a film that won 4 Oscars and the Palme d'Or, Su Yi! New creations are available! โ
During this time, there has been no new work of Su Yi, although the rabbit is serialized, but it is playing very slowly, and now it has been changed to an episode in a week, although I love the program of ancient poetry, and it also makes people feel very good, but the audience rate is there after all.
And seeing these promotions, as well as the updates on Su Yi's blog, people immediately became interested.
It seems that it has been a few months and there has been no 'shock'!
"Documentary: Hexi Corridor!"
"See you at 6:30 p.m."
Ask for tickets, everyone! Thank you for your support today! Why do you think that 15,000 words a day is so difficult, it was easy to be in the outer station before
