Chapter 146: Everyone is a man
Director Han had a special car, Su Changqing sat in the back seat with him, and the street lamps illuminated the faces of the two of them all the way.
Su Changqing has asked himself more than once, when he was in his early forties, was there such a calm and experienced director of the Han factory?
I'm afraid not, some things are created by personality and growth environment, Su Changqing can't help but call others brothers and sisters while pitting people.
Director Han finally said the part after the "but": "Changqing, I think you should understand that not all young directors have such opportunities as today. β
What kind of opportunity is it today?
Give it another chance.
"I understand. β
Su Changqing originally wanted to say something like thank you for cultivation, but he was really a little speechless.
"You're stubborn. β
There should have been a word of thanks here, but Director Han should be referring more to refusing to replace Nobuko Maeda.
"I'm too young and I don't have enough work experience. β
This can be regarded as a review.
"The superior is very concerned about you and has asked me many times. β
This is probably the root of today's opportunity, after all, Su Changqing is famous, and he has a chance if he is valuable.
"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your great work. β
Su Changqing smiled bitterly in the dark, out of the system, he still had to say something similar after all.
"I watched the film today, and it was not as rumored by the outside world, but I was still satisfied overall. β
Is there a rumor from the outside world?
Su Changqing has never heard of it, he is used to low-key start-up and then create a sensational effect, it is unwise to promote early to hang the appetite, and no one dares to guarantee that the audience will be better.
However, he understood what Director Han meant, so he beat the snake with the stick: "We at Siwei Film and Television are very much looking forward to continuing to cooperate with Beijing Film Studio, and the successful completion of "Moving Labyrinth" is inseparable from the strong support of Beijing Film Studio. β
Although this is a typical scene, it is not a lie.
After canceling the affiliation, Su Changqing did not encounter any resistance in the later stage of the production of Beiying, otherwise he would not have dared to enter Japan and South Korea before the film was almost finished.
Of course, Director Han will not refuse the olive branch, otherwise he will be tossed in vain in the afternoon: "I am more than ten years older than you, maybe saying these words seems to rely on the old and selling the old, but I really have a sense of mission, I must support the development of talented young directors, only when talents rise, the market can have hope, and it is about to enter the 21st century, and time is pressing." β
Time is of the essence, what is the most expensive in the 21st century?
Forget it, don't copy the lines of the little steel cannon.
Director Han suddenly changed his words: "I heard that "Moving Labyrinth" has been set in Japan and South Korea?"
He reminded Su Changqing before, don't learn from the six generations of directors to get out of supervision and play blindly.
This man is obviously accustomed to controlling words with one cold and one hot.
Su Changqing changed the topic: "At present, it's just an intention, I will send the film to radio and television for review in the past two days." β
Of course, the finalization is not the intention, and the people who issued the four-dimensional distribution have already signed the contract over there, and it is considered to give face if they don't tell the truth.
Now that the radio and television review of the film is fast, it can come down in ten working days, and if it is released in Japan and South Korea, it will not be considered a violation.
Looking at today's posture, even if there is a time difference, it may not be more serious, Su Changqing is not the first to do the matter of getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket.
Director Han aggravated his tone: "Young people don't be impatient, don't go to sea in violation of regulations, and since "Moving Labyrinth" wants to cooperate with our Beiying again, I will send you a new contract tomorrow." β
Beiying is not allowed to be affiliated after the reform, and Su Changqing needs to sign a new version of the contract after this game, but it is also a win-win situation to share them in the box office.
It seems that unity can really only be sought in struggle, if he blindly compromised at the beginning, Director Han is likely to further intervene in the selection of actors and the production of the film, these will happen in the future, of course Su Changqing knows.
Lao Jiang was somewhat pressured after filming "The Devil is Coming", and later filmed "Let the Bullets Fly", which was produced by Director Han.
It is said that Brother Kai is the director of Qinggao, but after "Farewell My Concubine", he basically supported himself in the middle of the film, and "Wuji" and "Mei Lanfang" were also produced by Director Han.
As for the directors of Hong Kong going north, Stephen Chow, John Woo, etc., they are all without exception.
Compared with these people, Su Changqing obviously gained greater autonomy.
Director Han is right, there are not many young directors like him who have been forgiven, only with strength can they be valuable, and only with a back road can they have a way out.
"In addition, don't be in a hurry to delete and modify the content of "Moving Labyrinth", wait for the above review opinions, and I will try to get you a good schedule. β
With this sentence, the domestic market of "Moving Labyrinth" is basically back to life, and Su Changqing is a lot more excited.
Director Han obviously doesn't care about violent shots, and the domestic regulators have not paid much attention to this.
After being classified, the audience consciously does not want to watch films that should not be watched at their own age?
Jokes, if you really classify it, you should delete all the images of atomic bombs and hydrogen explosions from the human database, that is the most terrifying and violent.
The sissy grading operation is purely redundant, and the formalism of deceiving parents is better than managing the directors and actors well.
Xiaogang Cannon vigorously advocates grading for nothing more than profit, a comedy director is all-inclusive, and restricting others will fulfill himself.
When he was about to arrive at the house of the director of the Han factory, he asked another question: "Why did you insist on not replacing Nobuko Maeda?"
The topic turned back again, and Director Han was obviously a little worried.
That's not easy to answer.
Say that you respect people with revolutionary ideals, and don't care that she has a Red Army background, let alone a Japanese Communist Party?
Director Han started by making red movies, isn't this a slap in the face?
Su Changqing understood that he didn't care, the real meaning of this question was: "Why didn't you obey in the first place?"
He played a trick: "I have a good personal relationship with her, and I'm embarrassed to replace." β
This reason seems very convincing, everyone is a man.
Director Han smiled: "You guys, you just can't control yourself, don't make mistakes like Xiaogang." β
It is impossible to make the same mistake as that guy, Su Changqing has never beaten Xu Meinu's idea.
The next day, Beiying sent the new version of the contract, and the affiliation fee of 500,000 yuan was not charged, but it was changed to a nominal 500,000 dry shares, and then it was divided proportionally among the net profits at the box office.
A year later, "Party A and Party B" are also this contract, but they are treated equally.
Some things are actually quite sad, the head of the eight major film studios, Beijing Film is quite difficult to fund, and in the past few years, it has not even been able to pay salaries, many directors and actors have found their own way out, and Director Han can only enter the dry shares after taking over this stall, and he can't get much money if he really wants to get it.
In contrast, ten years later, China Film has assets of more than 10 billion, which is simply incomparable.
There is nothing to bargain about this standard contract, because the labor costs of a large number of Japanese and Korean actors are very high, and the investment in "Moving Labyrinth" is nearly 30 million, and the 500,000 shares are divided into two percent at most, which is a very low proportion.
However, if the box office of "Moving Labyrinth" reaches the level of "Taiping" in Asia, Beiying can also get two or three million, which is much more than the affiliation fee.
Su Changqing signed the contract without saying a word, and turned his head to ask "Moving Labyrinth" to be submitted for review.
