Chapter Fifty-Seven: Two Shots
The later stage is all done in the Beijing Film Studio, which is cheap and convenient.
The color requirements of pseudo-documentaries are not so high, and they are not in the conditions to be sent to island countries or Hong Kong for processing like big-name directors, and there is nothing good about it.
After entering the orchestra soundtrack stage, he mixed with Dou Wei almost every day, and he asked Su Changqing a very serious question: "Why does my country's film show a big finish at the end of the screening, is it necessary?"
"No one has really studied what you said, everyone does it, it seems that they learned it from little devils, and it has been like this for decades. ”
"Maybe you directors think the audience is stupid, and if you can't understand the movie, it's over. ”
On Friday, June 18, the production of "Model Team" was completed, and it took more than three months before and after, and the cowhide was completely blown up.
Dou Wei's music is very good, which adds a lot to the film, and he wrote a song "Glimmer" and gave it to Su Changqing as the theme song.
This song was sung by Wang Fei, because it involved a contract with Hong Kong, and her name could not appear in the movie.
So Su Changqing added another makeup artist role to the movie, asked Zhou Xun to act, and Liu Bei played, although there were only four lines, it could be regarded as a reciprocation.
Su Changqing is very satisfied with the finished film, with the help of so many good actors with first-class acting skills, good music and good singers, they are all about to become the top match of domestic movies, and I have a hunch that it can be done.
On June 20, Liu Bei, who had already obtained a visa, went to Italy with the film.
She said that there were only two people who really went to the awards, and six of them were friends who went to play at their own expense, and they could also fill the scene on the red carpet, which seemed overwhelming.
Anyway, foreigners can't tell who is who, and they don't necessarily care.
Su Changqing refused to participate in the film festival, and unless he won the award, he had nothing to do with the distribution of this film.
Although it is a box office account, there is basically no intervention in how much it can sell, and it is not popular to push films everywhere, and many tricks cannot be done without network support.
On June 25, "The Princess's Decision" was also completed and entered post-production.
At the work meeting, Ding Jialuo raised a question, what language will be used in the version released in Europe, and should it be accompanied by a French version?
Su Changqing's opinion is no, it is normal for oriental stories to speak oriental languages, and the queen princess will have the illusion of a colony when she speaks French, and there is a lot less mystery, just have a subtitle.
At that time, all the films introduced were dubbed, which was equivalent to secondary creation, and the translation factory was basically in a state of closure after more than ten years, which was rejected by the audience.
Ding Jialuo said that he would discuss with the French side and decide, but Su Changqing didn't say anything more.
After the meeting, he asked Hu Ji to have dinner together: "Both films are over, I want to sit down and have a good chat with you." ”
Hu Ji said that he was not free, and also said: "My task will be completed after the two films, and I don't plan to continue making movies in the future, so I should return to the stage honestly." ”
Isn't it dishonest to make movies?
Su Changqing was a little surprised: "Why, if which movie succeeds, why did such a good start come to an abrupt end?"
Hu Ji looked at Su Changqing lightly, and said after a while: "I'm not interested, I don't know why I'm making a movie." ”
She was invited by Su Changqing several times to join "The Princess's Decision", and then joined the "Model Team" without saying a word, it seems that it is all for his face.
Of course, Su Changqing knew that Hu Ji's changes were related to her, but she couldn't understand why, and she didn't want to talk, what could she do?
Straight to ask?
She must have denied it.
He is a little nostalgic for the days when there were mobile phones, and there are far fewer misunderstandings than now.
"Don't you really have time to have a meal together?"
"Not available. ”
Su Changqing couldn't afford to lose his face, so he had to give up his efforts: "Okay, take care, I will leave Beijing for a while." ”
He does plan to leave for a while, the movie is about to be launched, and "Jingge" has to start the layout, and Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, which has just stepped up, cannot be left behind.
Su Changqing still has more than 200,000 in his hands, and he can barely do something, but he can't do big things, and it is easy to be completely defeated if he can't do it in one go.
He doesn't care, he has a lot of time anyway, and it's a big deal to start all over again.
Now it's Hu Ji's turn to be surprised: "Oh?
"Just walk around the country and walk around the country. ”
"But "The Princess's Decision" is not finished yet. ”
"My planning is done, all aspects are basically decided, and there will be no major changes. ”
"Aren't you planning to start a new show?"
"Not for the time being, no money and no good script, let's talk about it. ”
"How long are you leaving?"
"Not necessarily, there are so many places I want to go. ”
"That'...... Take care of yourself. ”
"Take care. ”
Such scenes are commonplace, knowing that there may be misunderstandings but it is difficult to solve them, and people's hearts are separated after all.
After the catwalk in Taimiao, Chen Jin's work changed direction, and he immediately began to design autumn and winter models according to Su Changqing's requirements.
Although it was only in late May, the summer of the clothing industry was coming to an end, and we had to prepare for autumn and winter immediately, and seventeen or eighteen models had been produced in a month.
Some winter clothes are based on summer clothes, which are much faster.
Combined with experience and memory, Su Changqing has seriously considered that "Jingge" must be self-operated.
Wholesale or brand licensing is the fastest way to make money, but it is also a short-term behavior, which is basically getting worse and worse, and eventually the brand collapses and comes back with a different brand.
The reborn person should understand that there is no middleman to make the difference, it sounds good and looks good, but in fact, it is a person who makes all the money, and finally can ensure that his style is not tampered with.
"Knocking on the blackboard, the pattern should be large, and it should be based on creating an era. ”
He spent two days exchanging views with Chen Jin to further refine the style of the autumn and winter models: "I hope that many people will wear our Beijing songs during the Chinese New Year this year. ”
During this period, Du Keke called: "I heard Hu Ji say that you want to leave for a while?"
Su Changqing didn't say much: "Yes, walk around and find other ways out for yourself." ”
"It's not like what you said, if there's anything to discuss with me, don't be too nervous. ”
Su Changqing understood what she meant, don't let go of easy money and ask for hardship.
"Don't worry, I'll discuss something with you. ”
Before leaving, he told Chen Jin: "Find a suitable garment factory in Beijing, once we need it, we will supply a large number of goods in a short time." ”
Chen Jin is very confident in this: "This is not a problem, not to mention one, several are fine, although I have not been in Beijing for a long time, this line is very familiar, and there are many small factories on the verge of closure that can take over." ”
On June 28, Su Changqing flew directly to Shenzhen, and then Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shanghai, and Hangzhou went all the way north.
Stay in each place for four or five days, run major shopping malls and bustling streets, learn about the local market, and find the landlord to negotiate and leave contact information if appropriate.
Su Changqing went to Hangzhou last time, and he stayed the longest, and he had friends who were engaged in the garment industry here.
In the early nineties, in the tide of upgrading and transformation of the garment industry, many graduates of the clothing department of Hangzhou colleges and universities such as China Academy of Art, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Zhejiang University of Science and Technology chose to start from scratch.
Su Changqing has now walked a few steps ahead of them, cut many wrong roads and detours, since he is ready to erect a big flag to lead the way, of course, he hopes that like-minded people can come to participate in the grand event.
These days, he will call back to Siwei every day to understand the situation, Chen Jin's design work is progressing well, and more than 40 autumn and winter clothes have come out in three series.
She also said that Du Keke has been here, "The Princess's Decision" has been produced, and even the poster has been designed, waiting for the scheduled release.
On July 21, before Liu Bei's phone call returned to China, the domestic newspaper reported first, and "Model Team" won the Crystal Globe Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, one of the five major international film awards.
Su Changqing was very happy and surprised, didn't Liu Bei go to the Turin Film Festival in Italy?
How did it become the Crystal Globe Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival?
This award is obviously more awesome, I don't know how she changed her mind temporarily.
Two days later, the news came that "Model Team" won the special prize at the Turin Film Festival in Italy.
