The barriers between TV series and movies are not limited to actors - although this aspect is usually talked about the most.
In fact, the real barrier is that the industrial systems of the two are different.
To be precise, there are actually two groups of people who control the theater chain and the broadcast platform.
The two groups each occupy a territory.
Sometimes we cooperate, but more often than not, you don’t interfere with my affairs, and I won’t interfere with yours.
After all, once they get mixed up, they are here to grab the cake.
If Beijing and Taiwan want to develop a movie about "Seventeen Floors", that's certainly possible, but they will definitely need to find a collaborator, especially a distributor.
The lack of support from the distributor, to some extent, may even mean whether the movie can be successful.
It doesn’t mean that because your drama is very popular, it can ignore the distribution and sweep the theaters.
Sometimes, movie theaters will deliberately place you in a garbage slot so that you can’t even sell your tickets, but that’s also true——
Of course, unless the market at that time was in a bleak state and your film was the one to save the world, then the theater managers would not be ruining their jobs.
But the current film market is no longer the era where one film lasted for a period more than ten years ago.
Distribution is becoming more and more important.
“Putting all this aside, if one day we really plan to make a movie called ‘Seventeen Floors’, will you act in it?” Shen Yue asked curiously.
Li Yuefeng: "Of course I will act. This drama is the best drama I have ever filmed, and it has become my masterpiece."
Shen Yue smiled.
"Seventeenth Floor" is indeed in the first echelon in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings. For Li Yuefeng, a popular young man who used to mainly shoot modern and ancient dolls, it is a very different type. This is another drama that rarely gets a good reputation on a large scale.
Shen Yue was a little surprised and asked: "Didn't you even hesitate?"
"Are you still hesitant?"
"Then what if the company prepares Neither the director nor Teacher Feng Qiyue will return. They just made a movie under the banner of "Seventeen Floors". The script is crappy. You're going to make it?"
"Then we won't shoot." Li Yuefeng replied without hesitation again, "The prerequisite for you to ask this is that all the original team members are here."
Shen Yue: "I said so."
Li Yuefeng turned to look at Lu Yanhe.
"Yan He, when the time comes I'll find you, will you shoot?"
Lu Yanhe: "When you all come back, I'll just shoot. If you change people, I won't shoot. It's boring."
Li Yuefeng smiled with satisfaction.
“Look, I am just like Yan He.”
Shen Yue sighed softly, “I don’t know when we will be able to make a movie.”
"You can't make a movie now?" Li Yuefeng was a little surprised, "That's not true, right?"
Shen Yue: "I'm talking about the kind of real movie."
Li Yuefeng asked: "What is a real movie?"
Shen Yue: "Anyway, the ones I have acted in, I don't think they are."
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe searched Shen with some curiosity. Yue has acted in movies in the past, and it immediately made sense.
You don’t even need to read the plot in detail, you can almost tell what kind of movie it is just by looking at the name.
"Horror Overtime", "Soul Eater: Death Pact", "Let's Fall in Love Again"...
When I look at the ratings, they are all below 4 points...
To be honest, it is not easy to shoot a movie with a rating below 4 points. In comparison, it is easier to shoot a movie with a rating of 5-7 points.
Lu Yanhe suddenly understood Shen Yue's emotion.
"What did you think of these movies in the first place?" Li Yuefeng also used his mobile phone to search for movies made by Shen Yue, "This name seems unreliable."
Shen Yue: "There were no movies to shoot at that time, so I could only shoot these. It's not like I can shoot movies right away. I also have to support myself."
Li Yuefeng: "It's not easy."
Li Yuefeng pointed to Lu Yanhe and said, "The thigh is here, try your best to hug it."
Lu Yanhe smiled and waved his hand, "I can It’s not a big thing.”
Shen Yue rolled her eyes at Li Yuefeng: “If there is a script that I want to act in, I will definitely fight for it with Yan He.”
-
"Is there something wrong between Li Yuefeng and Shen Yue?"
While doing movement learning, Chen Bige asked Lu Yanhe with a gossipy face.
“Huh?”
While Lu Yanhe was learning the movements from the instructor, he looked at Chen Bige in surprise.
“Don’t you think there is something between the two of them?” Chen Bige winked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Sister, you are too gossipy."
"How could you not gossip about people and things when filming?" Chen Bige said, "I'm still wondering why you My girlfriend has never come to visit the class. Generally, if an actor has a partner, the partner will definitely come. The crew is looking for a class."
Lu Yanhe: "She is currently busy preparing for an international film critic film festival. She is much busier than me. I'd better go to her after I finish the project."
< br>Chen Bige: "You two are young and spend a lot of time together."
"It can't be said that we are together -" Lu Yanhe said, "Apart from joining the group for filming, we all live together now, and it's not as miserable as you said."
Chen Bige: "Oh, we are living together at a young age. ?"
Her eyes immediately changed, and she looked at Lu Yanhe with a very "aunty smile" After a while, he said, "You are quite good at it."
Lu Yanhe said awkwardly: "Why are you so good at this?"
Chen Bige: "Of course you know how to make your girlfriend feel at ease. Okay, in your case, there are a lot of women who usually jump on you, right?”
Lu Yanhe: "It's really not much. I basically won't go to that kind of situation. Sister Ziyan helped me keep people away."
"You don't have any thoughts of stealing? Once you join the group, you won't be able to go back for a month or two." The smile on Chen Bige's face became "aunty" again.
Lu Yanhe was so embarrassed that his ears turned red.
He said: "Sister, can you train well and stop teasing me all the time?"
He said again: "Besides, how could I cheat on my girlfriend."
"Oh." Chen Bige nodded, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
The longer he knows Chen Bige, the more Lu Yanhe can see Chen Bige's past. On the one hand - he had only heard before that when Chen Bige was young, he was a very troublesome person and not an easy artist to lead. In Chen Ziyan's words, he was very restless and fell into the category of "three days without a job." "That kind of thing.
But after getting to know Chen Bige, Lu Yanhe basically only saw her goddess, majestic and bold side. It is hard to imagine that she is not so peaceful.
Now I am slowly seeing a little bit of it.
Make fun of him, make him fly.
-
But after Chen Bige told Lu Yanhe about Li Yuefeng and Shen Yue, Lu Yanhe became more cautious and paid attention.
After noticing this, Lu Yanhe discovered that something was really wrong between the two of them -
The two of them often choked each other, and they could choke on big and small things, but they were not like enemies choking on their enemies. kind.
This is a real eye-catcher.
So, one day at noon, when Lu Yanhe was having dinner with Li Yuefeng, he asked him if he liked Shen Yue.
Li Yuefeng's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.
“How is that possible! I’ll go.”
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Just asking, you are so excited."
Li Yuefeng: "Nonsense, this is not exciting, you are spreading rumors."
"What rumors did Yan He make?" Chen Bige held Script came over, sat down, and asked curiously.
Li Yuefeng immediately said: "It's nothing."
At the same time, he warned Lu Yanhe with his eyes, which meant "don't say it."
Li Yuefeng was afraid that this "rumor" would spread.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
He really wanted to say that this so-called "rumor" started with Chen Bige.
Seeing the quarrel between Li Yuefeng and Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige glanced at Li Yuefeng teasingly, "Oh? Are you talking about your little secret between men?"
Lu Yanhe: "... …”
He suddenly had an unknown premonition.
The next second, Chen Bige looked at Li Yuefeng and asked, "Are you talking about Shen Yue?"
Li Yuefeng exploded instantly like a cat being stepped on. .
"Why should we talk to Shen Yue properly?"
The teasing look on Chen Bige's face became even stronger.
"How do I know?" She deliberately acted like "I don't know anything."
However, the more she acted like this, the more uncomfortable Li Yuefeng felt, like a cat's claws scratching his heart.
"Sister Bige, what do you want to say?"
Chen Bige shrugged, "I don't want to say anything, I'm just curious."
Lu Yanhe covered his face, Want to leave.
Li Yuefeng looked at him sideways.
“Is it you?”
“What is it, not me?” Lu Yanhe was stunned.
“Why did Sister Bi Ge ask us if we were talking about Shen Yue?”
Lu Yanhe: “I don’t know why she asked that. Maybe you and Shen Yue are having some fun, or are you? She told me, so I asked you.”
Li Yuefeng looked at Chen Bige in disbelief. "Sister Bi Ge, it's you?!"
Chen Bi Ge: "I - I haven't finished memorizing my lines yet, I have to memorize them."
She immediately got up and left.
Halfway through, he looked back at them.
"Lu Yanhe, you betrayed me! Just wait!"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
-
While Lu Yanhe was filming on the crew's side, Chen Siqi was on the other side I was also very busy.
To plan an event from scratch, it is no exaggeration to say that it is as painful as scraping a layer of skin.
It was the first time for Chen Siqi and the others to do this. They had no experience, so they had to pay more.
Even if this event does not turn into a particularly large ceremony, according to their idea, it is not a simple thing to invite more than ten or twenty famous film critics to talk about the movie together.
Without inviting celebrities, it will be difficult for this film festival to attract sponsorship. Without sponsorship, they would have to pay for "Jump Up" all the budget themselves, and they don't want to lose money and make money.
Continuously designing plans and overturning them based on the actual situation.
The venue of this film festival has been changed several times.
In addition to these major tasks, Chen Siqi also has a very critical task, which is to secure the film screening rights.
If the film festival wants to show some films, it must obtain authorization from the film copyright owner.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Siqi, Lin Yu and the others held several meetings before settling on a film list, and then went to talk with each family. If there are people abroad who know each other, it is easy to talk, but if they do not know each other, it must be official. Sending emails from a public office is very costly.
But it has to be done no matter how high the cost is.
It really fits the saying that everything is always difficult at the beginning.
The news that their "Jump Up" was participating in this film festival slowly spread.
Many people in the circle are paying attention.
However, not many are promising.
Because Chen Siqi’s previous “Green Green Project” to discover new directors failed.
This time I come to tinker with the film festival.
You know, in China, it is rare for a certain person or a certain organization to be able to organize a film festival.
Despite this, those film festivals that have been successfully organized are still difficult to describe.
Of course some of these voices reached Chen Siqi's ears, but she turned a deaf ear to them.
She knows what she is doing.
There will be successes and failures, but one failure will never stop you from trying new things in the future.
This International Film Critics Film Festival itself is also a very critical move for the magazine "Jump Up" to launch a film version.
When some elders in the circle knew that the specific direction of the film festival she wanted to do was not to be a film director or star, but to be a film critic, they were quite confused and asked her why she wanted to do such a thankless job. matter.
Yes, in the eyes of many people, hosting such an event is even a thankless act.
No stars, no attention, and maybe no splash.
Chen Siqi didn't explain to many people why she did what she did. She only explained it when Director Wang Zhong came to ask out of curiosity.
"Because I have no money, this is the most critical thing. If I have a sufficient budget, of course I would also like to invite some big directors and big stars to come and make this film festival look glamorous, with a lot of media coverage and a red carpet. "Chen Siqi said helplessly, "But the reality only allows us to do such a simple form first. Of course, I don't think this form is really low-level. There are not many film festivals in the world that feature film critics. Moreover, the International Online Forum for Film Critics event we did last year received a very good response from film circles around the world. We are also because This is why I want to continue doing it.”
“This film festival is quite meaningful.” Wang Zhong was just curious about Chen Siqi. Why do you think of doing this, but you don’t think this movie is not worth making? “Which film critics have you invited to come now?”
“There are nine people who have promised to come, and they are all from the world’s first-tier film media. We have known the well-known film critics before, and everyone is willing to help with the platform. Lin Yu has a good personal relationship with them," Chen Siqi said, " However, it is difficult to obtain film copyrights now, especially the copyrights of foreign films. Foreign film companies are quite skeptical about the film festival we organize. Two-thirds of the films we want to show do not have the copyrights yet. Got it."
"Are you going to sell tickets to the public? Or will you organize them to watch it yourself?" Wang Zhong asked.
Chen Siqi: “I haven’t thought about this yet.”
Wang Zhong: "No wonder so many movies have not agreed to be licensed to you. Whether you will conduct commercial activities is something they value very much, because if you conduct public ticket sales, that is another matter. You have to pay a deposit. And if it is only a small-scale screening without public sale, this is another model. Of course, this premise depends on what you want the film festival to be. , is it to create a small-scale forum for these film critics, or is it, like some film festivals in the world, to allow movie fans to join in, watch movies together, and then listen to them talk about movies in different forms and different styles? "
Chen Siqi asked: "Director, what suggestions do you have?"
Wang Zhong: "I suggest that since this is your first time. Once you do it, the simpler it is, the better. As you said, the more simple and pure it is. It’s good if you just sit together and watch movies and talk about them. The commercial atmosphere is not that strong. After one time, the effect is good, and then we will do the second and third time, and then gradually make it bigger and add more content."
"Well, director, I think so too, we do. Inexperienced, I feel my way across the river and don’t understand anything.”
Wang Zhong asked: “Please make sure about the film copyright first. Are you really not planning to make commercial arrangements? If so, Please give me a list of movies that you want to get done but haven’t done yet. I still have some friends overseas who may be able to help you.”
"Ah -" Chen Siqi let out a scream of surprise, "Director, is it true? Ahhhhhhhhhhh - great, director! I love you -"
Chen Siqi let out a thunderous cry , the surprise scream frightened Wang Zhong, his ears were also popped, and he quickly took away the phone.
He smiled.
“Your idea for this film festival is very good. I watched your online forum for international film critics last year. It was rare to be able to invite these people together to talk about movies seriously. Although The attention is not as high as those events attended by celebrities, but the more it is like this, the more pure fans it attracts, and the quality is very high "Wang Zhong said, "I know how difficult it is for you to organize a film festival like this. Work hard and try to make it happen. If you need help, just call me."
" Director, I am so touched now. You are the first one to tell me that what we are doing is very meaningful.”
"Actually, everyone knows that it makes sense, but everyone knows how difficult it is to succeed." Wang Zhong said, "Siqi, I hope you can stick to your idea and never invite people over. It’s the kind of film festival that just shows you around and then leaves. It’s meaningless. It’s just about making noise and excitement. Look at why the top film festivals in the world have the reputation and status they have now. , because in large There is a consensus among everyone that not only are their movies good, but they are also a place where you can really talk about movies. There are too few places like this in our country now."
Chen Siqi: "Director, don't worry, I will. I must do it well.”
-
“Is it appropriate if I show up?”
After hearing Chen Siqi’s plan for the film festival, Lu Yanhe asked immediately.
Because Chen Siqi has made up his mind not to invite any celebrities to the first film festival.
Chen Siqi said: "This is what I want to ask you too. I don't plan to invite celebrity artists to the official part of the film festival, but they come from abroad, and your relationship with "Jump Up" is well known. , if you don’t show up, it will seem like you are neglecting them. I am thinking, how about you hold a dinner to welcome them in your own name and invite some friends. This way, it will not affect our film festival. Ji Gong The opening position can still allow them to get to know our domestic filmmakers."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "This is no problem."
Chen Siqi: "It's just that even if it's a dinner party, I won't. I hope it will be more private and small-scale, and not a large gathering of people.”
“I understand, I still hope the whole atmosphere can be more relaxed and pleasant.”
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "I don't want those film critics to have the feeling that our film festival is Vanity Fair."
This feeling is actually positioning.
What kind of film festival do you want them to experience?
After hearing what Chen Siqi said about director Wang Zhong’s initiative to call her and help her contact overseas film copyright owners, Lu Yanhe said: “The director is really nice.”
“Yes, So I have two ideas now. Let’s see which one is better.” Chen Siqi said, “Director Wang is willing to help, and I listen to him. Thinking, he really hopes that this film festival can be successful. I thought about it, if a film festival can invite a world-class director as an honorary consultant, it will also be a blessing to the reputation of the film festival. Director Wang came to serve as an honorary consultant, but he felt that we could not give him anything, and that we were taking advantage of him and taking advantage of him. ”
"I was thinking that maybe we could hold a retrospective exhibition of director Wang Zhong's works." Chen Siqi said, "Then, hold a discussion on director Wang Zhong's works."
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: " Discussion of works directed by Wang Zhong held There will definitely be a lot of less than positive comments at the forum. You know, Director Wang Zhong’s works have always been somewhat polarizing among critics. Are you sure Director Wang would be willing to see such a scene?”
< br>Chen Siqi was stunned.
This was something she had never thought about before.
“However, if you hold a film festival, especially a film critic film festival, this kind of scene is inevitable. If everyone sits together and says some good things against their will, then the film festival will be in vain. It’s done. If you want to really achieve quality, you have to make everyone willing to tell the truth, and tell the truth to the point.” Lu Yanhe said, “I can’t provide any advice on this, you have to think about it. Clearly understand the positioning of this film festival and how far it can achieve it, and then talk openly and honestly with Director Wang Zhong or other people to see if they can accept it. Not many people can suddenly accept their work. Being analyzed and evaluated by a group of people in a serious way, most of the filmmakers do not have a very good relationship with the film critics, and some of them openly quarrel with each other.”
What Lu Yanhe said made Chen Siqi fall into deep thought.
She suddenly realized another problem.
Holding this film critic film festival may expand the influence of "Jump" in the film criticism circle, but in a certain sense, it will also make other filmmakers have some opinions on "Jump". dissatisfied?
Especially in this film festival, works that have received negative reviews.
But as Lu Yanhe said, if film critics cannot be allowed to express their true feelings at this time, then what is the point of holding this film festival?
How to establish influence?
Chen Siqi asked: "Yan He, will I bring you some trouble by hosting this film festival?"
"I don't know, but I don't care." Lu Yanhe said, "You don't have to think about me. Besides, as an actor, I'm actually looking forward to this film festival. As Director Wang Zhong said, there really aren't many places in our country where we can really talk about movies. And, I We are all familiar with the film critics they invited. We all know whether they will talk about things as they are, or whether they will talk nonsense and make random remarks. As long as the final film festival is really talking about movies, even if some people are dissatisfied or scolded in a short period of time, But if it continues one term after another, it will definitely develop its unique reputation and influence.”
Lu Yanhe’s words gave Chen Siqi another powerful shot of confidence.
Since Director Wang Zhong and Lu Yanhe really recognized this matter, what else did she have to fear.
Do! -
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone and rested in the car for a while before getting out of the car and walking to the studio.
On the way, he met Yan Zhimeng who was walking out.
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe saw that Yan Zhimeng had taken off all his makeup, "Have you finished your work today?"
Yan Zhimeng nodded and said with a smile: "Not in a moment. My play is over, I’m going back to rest.”
Lu Yanhe: "I'm envious."
He said goodbye to Yan Zhimeng and continued walking inside, when he suddenly heard an angry scolding coming from inside.
"Late again! How many times has he been late?!"
It was Lian Bei's voice.
Lu Yanhe was startled. At that moment, he thought he was late and Lian Bei was scolding him.
He ran over immediately, raised his hand and said, "Director, director, here I come! Sorry, I'm late!"
As soon as he entered, he bowed and apologized to Lian Bei.
As a result, Lian Bei looked at him in bewilderment, and the angry expression on his face cracked in shock.
The person next to him said dumbfounded: "Teacher Xiao Lu, the director is not scolding you. Why are you late? You have never been late..."
Lu Yanhe made an awkward sound. , looked at Lian Bei at a loss.
Even Bei was happy, lowered his head and smiled, then walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, can you please stop doing this? Every time you bow to me, I have to bow back to you three times."
Lu Yanhe: "Brother, you are my brother , if you bow to me three times, then I will kneel down for you."
The two people lifted each other up.
Seeing that the scene had calmed down, Lu Yanhe asked: "Director, who is late? I have rarely seen you so angry."
"Alas, a well-connected person, the son of a certain leader, was forced to play a role. There were only eight shootings in total. This is the third time he is late." Lian Bei sighed.
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked: "Who is it?"
Lian Bei waved his hand and said: "You probably don't know him either, you and he don't play in the same scene."< br>
Just as he was talking, a young, handsome boy came over, "Director, here I come."
Lu Yanhe turned to look at him.
The latter also looked at him blankly.
