Chapter 40: New Talents Emerge (part 6 of 8)
Western Film Studio, formerly the Hollywood of the East.
Later, the factory became a film museum, and Shen Mengxi went there several times because it was quite fun.
What's a good way to play?
A century-old movie projector plays a century-old black-and-white silent film in an outdoor square...
Those who call hardcore when they see a few old objects in glass covers, I don't know how they will feel at this moment.
Anyway, the staff's statement is: "The movie machine was originally used to show movies, and by the way, let everyone understand the history and make the best use of it." ”
The words are plain and arrogant...
It's a pity that no matter how arrogant it is, it's useless...
The story of "my grandfather" is not attractive enough, Jiu'er is 55 years old and one step closer to "my grandmother", what is sorghum?
None of the main forces of the present day are clear;
The post-00s are now 20 years old, and if you tell them "You look at that person like a dog", they can tell you the stories of 10,000 licking dogs they have seen, but they won't think of "Journey to the West";
"Farewell My Concubine", which was filmed in 171 minutes and 93, will be released today, and it will be very popular;
"Golden Dead Redemption" is the feelings of the post-80s and 90s, and the Chinese western film "Swordsman of Shuangqi Town" is the knowledge blind spot of the post-00s.
No matter how hard everyone is banned and scolded because of the character's hair dyeing in the cartoon, they won't have the patience to watch what happened to the intellectuals...
depicts the bureaucratic system, the technique is modern and absurd, a rare film noir among domestic films, and the ideas were absolutely avant-garde at the time, "Black Cannon Incident" and "Back to Back Face to Face".
There is no way, no matter how good things are, they can only stay in those years!
"The restored version can be shown in a small number of cinemas, and it can also be resold to major film archives... It should be a good business. ”
“... I thought you wanted to buy the copyright of "Journey to the West"..."
"Why should I buy it... Dad, if you have money in Taili, you can participate in the investment..."
"Then give me three places!"
"10 million for three movies?"
"Can't you?"
"Yes... Yes..."
How poor!
Father Shen nodded, and then said, "Then I'll run to the Ministry of Culture tomorrow and ask for three places!"
"Places?"
"Key support places... You can apply for a subsidy!"
Shen Mengxi was surprised: "Can you run for a quota?"
"I'm the director of Shaanxi Station!"
"Four sets... It's not a star channel..."
"That's the key channel too!"
I stayed there for two weeks, met a lot of people, and even the coal boss...
After Tang Ren went public, Shen Mengxi's social status really rose in a straight line.
Even Shen's father followed suit.
Coal bosses' money... Forget it!
It's not that the coal boss's money is not easy to collect, but the money is just money, without any added value, Mengxi Company is now making movies, and those with investment risks will find someone to do it together, and what they are looking for are TV stations, theaters, and China Film, and people have additional replacement value in their hands.
TV stations can help with publicity, cinemas will schedule more films, China Film... Political endorsement.
What does the coal boss have?
Besides money?
Big guy, you really can't smash a good movie with money, the surname Ma and the surname Wang have a lot of feelings about this!
......
On February 12, at the exit of the airport, Shen Mengxi took off his mask and walked up to Li Yiping...
"Why are you the only one?"
“... I'm not going to the United States..."
"Oscar?"
"Yes, by the way, shoot "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
"She's so reassuring about you?"
Shen Mengxi glanced at her: "What's not to worry about?"
"We're going to meet a group of newly signed post-90s actors later..."
"It's just a meeting!" Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes: "Who do you think of me? Don't talk nonsense about those who have it or not!"
“... Let's go. ”
Getting in the car, Shen Mengxi took off his scarf: "How many people have signed?"
"Five, two men and three women..."
"Why are there only two men?
"Deng Lun, Li Xian... One is on the play, and the other is Nortel. ”
Yo, two big fish!
"What about the woman?"
"Jin Chen, Di Li Rouba, Peng Xiaoran and Jia Ling..."
"Who?Jia Ling?"
"We are short of comedy stars, so we signed her..."
"Doesn't she have a brokerage company?"
"We signed a film collaboration..."
To explain, Shen Mengxi came to Shanghai this time, and to participate in Tang Ren's newcomer press conference is to pull out a group of newly signed artists to make an appearance!
Shen Mengxi, as the chairman of Tangren Film and Television, of course has to come over and stand on this occasion.
......
A bunch of reporters surrounded Shen Mengxi, holding the microphone to ask various questions...
"One by one!"
"How do you hold the newcomer?"
"The most important thing we don't lack in Tangren Film and Television is opportunities and resources, now the film and television industry is many times larger than before, and it is developing rapidly, newcomers are not short of exposure, of course, how to change after leaving the newcomers is something that the respective brokerage teams have to consider!"
"Who do you like best?"
“... Of course it's Jia Ling, she's my idol!"
A group of people laughed presumptuously...
What happened to Jia Ling?
Shaking and cold, what's wrong with this society? When will we be able to let go of the stereotypical prejudice against comedians?
Hot... I can't remember the following, you make up for it...
"I heard you're going to make a monster movie with a big investment?"
"Yes, it should start in July, and it is in the early preparations, with an investment of about 100 million US dollars, we will release it simultaneously in China and the United States, and I will release it simultaneously, which means that the number of theaters in the United States will exceed 2,000!"
Shen Mengxi was very short of time, so he gave the reporters ten minutes, and then left...
He was very interested in the newcomers who signed up with the company...
I don't have any opinions, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful...
Why sign a newcomer?
The screenwriting department took a few good workplace drama scripts, "Unborn", "Studio" and "Record Company"...
It's all very good, "Unborn" is a creative idea provided by Shen Mengxi, a group of screenwriters went deep into life, researched for half a year, and wrote a script that is very logical;
"Studio", bought the copyright of the British drama "Acting Moment", and remade it himself, "The Record Company" is a script that records the rise and fall of record companies in the nineties, and it is very well written, and at a glance, you can tell that it was written by industry veterans themselves!
These workplace dramas need newcomers.
It can't be like "Young Doctor", a group of middle-aged people acting in youth dramas...
Shen Mengxi hurried to the airport - tomorrow is the premiere of "Donkey Gets Water", and before leaving, he told Li Yiping: "Be strict with them, and don't let there be scandals!"
"Scandal?"
"It's the unspoken rules and it's for sale!"
It is said that it is said that Jin Chen will occasionally make a cameo appearance as a senior technician, the kind that is very expensive...
But you're expensive, it's always that...
Li Yiping waved her hand: "... How is it possible, signed by us, waiting for the brilliant Tengda, who will stick to himself for no reason?"
"Okay, I'm leaving..."
"Wait a minute!" Li Yiping pulled him.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that Chen Xiao is pursuing Zhang Hanyun..."
"Really?" Shen Mengxi came to his senses: "Is it done?"
Li Yiping was stunned for a moment: "I mean, do we want to stop it?"
"Why stop it? Men and women love each other, it's a matter of course!"
