Chapter 977 Feng Xiaogang feels guilty; the main theme of the Air Force!
For two or three days in a row, the scene of huge crowds at China Film Group has been on the hot searches and headlines;
The reason is that a large number of well-known actors in the film and television industry have appeared at China Film. Audition for "The Founding of an Army";
But what caught the entire network's attention and focus was the idol stars on the scene who were not from majors, had auditions, debuted as idols, and had massive fans and traffic.
Yes, "The Founding of the Army" broke the "conservative thinking" of gift films and opened its arms to the entire film and television entertainment industry and to young idol stars.
"So, you have been decided?"
In the pavilion, several people sat together for a small gathering, and there were various snacks and fruits on the table.
"Well, yes, I should be considered as having obtained the admission ticket in advance. It was Director Han and Director Huang Jianxin who gave the nod;
Director Liu Weiqiang originally preferred Li Yifeng, but I didn’t dare to refute the reputation of Director Han and Director Huang, so the role of Prime Minister was decided on me.
By the way, I also look quite Zhou Zheng, so I would have no problem playing the role of Prime Minister when he was young! "Zhu Yawen boasted shamelessly.
"Haha, as long as you don't show a vulgar, bitch or sissy smile or attitude, the rest of the time you do look like a human being."
Luo Jin didn't save face, chewed melon seeds and complained with a smile, causing Everyone burst into laughter, it was so real!
"Your uncle, you are jealous of me, right?"
They are all one of our own, so Zhu Yawen was more relaxed and immediately retorted.
The reason why he said this about Luo Jin is because Luo Jin was eliminated yesterday and lost to a "little fresh meat".
"Hey, I can see that this great director from Hong Kong prefers idol stars with fans and traffic market.
Although Director Huang Jianxin thinks I am suitable, Director Liu Weiqiang is a bit firm and is more optimistic. That Zhang Yixing from "Extreme Challenge" just wiped me out."
Luo Jin sighed, and Tang Yan beside him quickly handed him a piece of dried fruit, and the former instantly smiled.
“I can see that these people in Hong Kong are bringing in private goods and doing business. Well, 99% of the directors in Hong Kong will not cheat the mainland producers and use their power for personal gain!
But not to mention, they found a good reason for this, in order to expand the spread and influence of the gift film among young people..."
To be honest, Lin Nan still admires Liu Weiqiang a little. How dare a high-profile gift film dare to do this?
The "Foundation of the People's Republic of China Trilogy" series is coming to an end. Is this considered to be unfinished? In the hands of La Peikang!
“I heard from Jia Nu that Director Han has given up on this movie and will give up completely after the casting is over.”
Liu Yifei held the cat in one hand and held the cat in the other. The dried fish was teasing Sanhua in his arms.
"Okay, let's not talk about "The Founding of the Army". With your 'criticism', it seems that the quality of this gift film in which I got the role suddenly dropped a lot. .”
Zhu Yawen complained angrily. In fact, he can also see that just based on the casting style, doesn't it seem to be downgraded compared to the previous two films? Not to mention a change of director!
You must know that the first two films were personally directed by the chairman of China Film Group and served as the chief director. Even the group directors of the films were Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin and other great directors.
The five people were chatting, laughing and gossiping in the courtyard of the villa, planning to go out for dinner near noon...
At the same time, there was also a report on the Internet that made the film and television News that many companies in the industry are "sorrowful" and "take lessons from":
"Media reports: Since mid-December last year, the Capital No. 3 Intermediate People's Court ruled that Pony Galloping Pictures should fulfill its gambling contract in order to After repurchasing shares obtained from CCB Cultural Strategic Investment for RMB 635 million, Pony Galloping was unable to fulfill its contract
Three months later, upon application and approval, the judicial authorities this morning imposed enforcement and bankruptcy liquidation on Galloping Horse Pictures..."
In less than half an hour, almost all film and television companies in the entire industry were Everyone is paying attention to this piece of blockbuster news;
Starting from today, the last trace of the former film and television giant Galloping Horse in the industry will be completely erased and wiped out...
...
"The comedy film "Donkey Gets Water", adapted from the original drama and of the same name, is controlled by Happy Mahua and co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, starring Ren Suxi, Dali and others, at noon today, The project was officially completed at the Pinglu District Scenic Spot in Shanxi Province.
Yan Fei, Peng Damo and others attended the wrapping ceremony, and publicly announced on behalf of Happy Mahua: the movie "Donkey Gets Water" will be scheduled for October 28 in the second half of the year..."
Afternoon time, Hua Yi.
Wang Zhongjun glanced at the news about "Donkey Gets Water", and there was no unusual expression on his face.
He looked up at the people in the office and asked, "Xiaogang, it's decided. Well, where on earth are you going?
We missed the registration time for the Cannes International Film Festival, but fortunately we still have time to register for the Venice International Film Festival! ”
After hearing Wang Zhongjun's inquiry, Feng Xiaogang became rarely silent and looked a little serious.
Wang Zhonglei smiled beside him. He could roughly guess Feng Xiaogang's inner thoughts at this moment...
The award at the International Class A Film Festival is the dream of all filmmakers. But even if it is an international Category A film festival, it is divided into three, six or nine grades!
There is no doubt that the three major European film festivals are the most authoritative and globally influential among international A-type film festivals, and are naturally the most difficult.
Other than that, it is an ordinary A-type film festival; and to put it bluntly, the one in Shanghai is one of the lowest among ordinary A-type film festivals.
Feng Xiaogang obviously has no confidence in going to Europe's top three universities.
"Xiaogang, are there any other options besides Venice? I remember that several Class A film festivals have started to sign up recently."
Wang Zhonglei said with a smile and took the initiative to hand it over. steps.
The office was a little quiet. After a long time, Feng Xiao just sighed, looked at Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Liu Zhenyun, and said with certainty:
"Go to the San Sebastian International Film Festival Well, it’s about the same time as Venice International Film Festival, and Spain is a little closer to China than Italy.”
The last sentence seemed like a far-fetched reason, leaving people speechless.
“Saint Sebastian?”
Wang Zhongjun muttered. This is an ordinary international A-category film festival that is quite friendly to Chinese films.
Many domestic filmmakers have won awards there, including Chen Kaige, Xu Jinglei, Zhang Yang and others who have won the Best Director Award;
Even Lu Chuan They all won the Best Picture Award there, thanks to the controversial "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》.
"Yes, let's go to San Sebastian... I will be more confident if we go there..."
Feng Xiaogang still did not hide his true thoughts after all. He felt a little guilty. I'm scared, let's start with the simplest one.
When it came to competing for prizes, he had to admit that he was indeed jealous of people like Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou...Wang Quan'an, but that was all he could do, there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" will be registered for the San Sebastian International Film Festival!"
......
"God of War: Eye of Power" seems to have received a mediocre response. After its release yesterday, the box office of 40.5 million on the first day did not have the momentum and movie-watching wave that an imported blockbuster should have.
But even so, it still had a considerable impact on "Mermaid".
Although the latter's total box office reached 3.301 billion, its daily box office dropped by 10 million, with a revenue of 9.88 million, and the film schedule was also reduced by several points.
In the afternoon, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun, saying that China Film had notified that "Mermaid" would be led by Zhou Xingchi to do the last few promotions and try its best to attract as many fans as possible. A surge in daily box office...
It can be seen that La Peikang really wants "Mermaid" to break the 3.5 billion box office threshold... The higher the new record, the better, because it still has the participation of China Film.
Lin Nan stayed at home for two consecutive days on the 12th and 13th, and his main job was to polish the script.
Anyway, I am going to lie down a little this year. I have plenty of time to take my time, and I can do business while having fun.
On the morning of the 14th, Lin Nan was urged to the company by Yue Jun, and the account of "Detective Chinatown" came down.
After the bet was successful, the 46% share ratio enabled Lin Nan Pictures, which had a 30% share, to receive a box office share of 378 million; plus the advertising accompanying the film, this reached 450 million.
Sitting in the office, Lin Nan signed various documents, mostly financial ones, while Yue Jun reported nonchalantly:
"The online broadcast rights were sold to Tudou and will be settled next quarter; the TV broadcast rights were bought by the movie channel. Well, the price is not high and the payment has not yet been made..."
"The movie channel must not have given me enough money. But there is no other good channel for TV broadcast rights except there, so let’s do it.”
While talking, Lin Nan saw four studios from August last year to the end of December. On the 31st of the month, the revenue report for 5 months.
Undoubtedly, Reba’s studio is still the most profitable, even nearly twice as much as the second-placed Zhao Liying.
The studios of Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin, hey, there is no doubt that they are at the bottom.
After all, these two people basically rely on their salary, and they are so different from female artists that they are incomparable!
At the end of the morning, Lin Nan had finished all the miscellaneous things; when he turned on his phone, good guys, it was full of hot searches and gossip about the first sister of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Qilong.
This couple, whose children are 17 years apart in age, seems to be getting married in a week.
At the moment, a small part of the film and television industry is posting about their itinerary, but in general, the man has more connections. After all, he is an old man who has been in the film and television industry for so many years!
When Lin Nan drove the car, listened to the entertainment gossip on the radio, and went to pick up Liu Yifei, Mr. Han on the other side was in a state of confusion.
Han Jia Nyeo looked at her biological father and was very curious about who called him?
"You mean, I have to have another meeting in the bureau this afternoon? You still haven't told me what kind of meeting it is and who I'm meeting?"
After a moment, Han Sanping asked, holding his cell phone, his expression slowly changing. Seriously, "Okay, I will be there before two o'clock."
"Before two o'clock? You don't need to be so solemn, right? You are a man who has retired for two and a half years and is almost sixty-three years old. Aren't you even allowed to take a nap?" Seeing Han Sanping hang up the phone, Xiao Han complained immediately with dissatisfaction.
“According to my experience, if it’s not a big deal, then someone from another unit is coming, and the level is not low! Let’s have lunch in advance.”
Han Sanping took the initiative to explain, who allowed him to still hold the title of consultant in the bureau. Besides, what's wrong with being sixty-three? I look like I'm only fifty. I'm very energetic!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the audition for China Film Group was about to begin, but La Peikang was not in the group. Film Bureau.
When Han Sanping's car drove in as usual, someone immediately ran over.
"Director Han, Director Tong and Director Zhang are over there in the conference hall. You can just go there."
"Xiao Zhao, I'm just curious. What kind of meeting is today? Are the two from China Film and Shanghai Film Group present?"
"Director Han, I really don't know what kind of meeting it is specifically. But Director La was there, but because the bureau also received the notification at short notice, Director Ren must have been too late, so he didn’t notify them.”
Han Sanping nodded: “Okay, I’ll do it myself. Go over."
A few minutes later, when Han Sanping walked into the conference hall and saw that only Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen, La Peikang and several senior executives of China Film were there, he understood: What is more important is No one has come yet!
"Tong Bureau, what is going on today?"
Han Sanping smiled and sat next to La Peikang. The latter was also curious, but he didn't have time to ask.
I saw Tong Gang showing a rather helpless expression: "Air Force!"
......
Liu Yifei really got it right, Wu Gan's As soon as "Wolf Warrior 2" was announced, a favor came from him.
The only person who can have a relationship with Wu Gan is from Hong Kong Island. After all, he has been hanging out there for many years and has been taken care of by many people.
"I asked him if Liu Yan could do it, but he said no. He said that no matter how he made up, he didn't look like a soldier. After a long time, it was the people from Hong Kong who wanted to trick him!
And he was an old acquaintance of his. She is the heroine of the movie "Wolf Fang" that he directed for the first time. Her name is Lu Jingshan. Well, she is a Chinese-American mixed race..."
I had lunch outside and just returned with Liu Yifei. Lin Nan, who was slumped on the sofa to eat when he got home, received a call from Wang Changtian complaining.
“There are absolutely no film resources available on Hong Kong Island, so why don’t we try our best to find cakes in the mainland? In the industry, you can’t avoid the hurdle of favors, let alone Wu Quan This kind of male chauvinism..."
While Lin Nan was speaking, her eyes glanced at Liu Yifei, because she was shaking the tablet, and there was Lu Jingshan's information on it.
"Well, it is indeed more suitable than Liu Yan, and it is also more suitable than the two studios under Shanhai Media. Wang Dong, please stop complaining, Yifei and I are not busy!"
Lin Nan commented He joked that although Lu Jingshan is of mixed race, she just looks like that.
"Dr. Wang, respect the director's choice. He must have cared more about the movie he invested in than anyone else, and the choice of the female lead must have been carefully considered and made suitable. "
Liu Yifei couldn't help but add that she just heard Xie Nan tell her privately yesterday that the couple mortgaged their real estate in order to invest in "Wolf Warrior 2".
After all, one is a host, and his income is not as high as that of an actor. The Ray shares he received are still in the lock-up period and cannot be traded or mortgaged.
Another movie, "Wolf Fang", completely wiped out all the savings I had made over the past few years. I got some money back through "Wolf Warrior" and "Slaying the Wolf 2". I just bought my new house last year, so I paid it off again. .
“Yes, Yifei, the largest producer, has said so, so naturally I can’t complain anymore, haha...”
……
The leader was wearing a conspicuous major general uniform again, but the color was different from the navy uniform last time.
At this moment, several people in the conference hall didn't know what to say.
Main theme, main theme.
Originally, it was just the film industry that was making the main theme. Now, after seeing the "effect" of the main theme movie, first it was the Navy, and now it is the Air Force, and they are all top-down initiated main themes. Movie project, this is the mission!
“Actually, the time when the air administration and maritime administration received the instructions are quite different, but compared to the maritime administration, our mission requirements are definitely different from theirs.”
"What does Kongzheng mean?"
Tong Gang asked, Han Sanping and others, without exception, were all focused.
"The Air Control Controller will provide funding to provide the fighter planes and pilots needed for filming... We want a real big scene and promote the spirit of the Air Force... I hope that the film studio will jointly produce it and cooperate to provide all support for film shooting and production... …
In addition, we will personally check and supervise the script. As for the director, I heard that Haizheng waits for the script to be completed before choosing a director, but we are different. We already have one. Candidate..."
Bringing your own director?
Hearing this, Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen, Han Sanping and La Peikang suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts;
Can you choose your own director without the help of a film director? What kind of director are you looking for? Where did you find it? Is it reliable? Isn't it a related account?
After all, although the air force is responsible for publicity, it doesn't have much dealings with the film and television industry, let alone its own directors!
Although several people have these doubts in their minds, since the people from the air administration have said so, it is not easy to ask any more questions.
"What about the specific project establishment time? Also determine the co-producer, casting, preparation, start-up, etc.?"
Only Tong Gang can talk to each other on an equal footing, and it is difficult for the other people to take the initiative to ask questions. .
“Let’s make the project public next month, and then we can confirm the qualifications of the co-producers and prepare for casting.
The preparation time may be a bit long, because the actors have to get familiar with the 'props', and the Air Force has dedicated personnel to guide the teaching and familiarization;
After all, it is the main theme, and the filming cannot be too fake... As for starting the camera, I guess if everything is done well, it will be the end of the year, right? "
Good guys, after hearing this answer, Han Sanping and the others had only one thought in their minds: another big project!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tong Gang and the others were about to empty the The political people were sent out of the conference hall.
Looking at the figure walking away, Han Sanping couldn’t help but complain:
"The people in Hai Zheng are higher than last time. Even the director is chosen by himself! If my guess is correct, he must be a related person in the courtyard..."
"Haha, okay, okay. Well, the Air Force has to make its own theme, and the Film Bureau and China Film Group have to cooperate. The fewer things, the better, and it saves worry!"
Tong Gang said with a smile, and Zhang Hongsen nodded in agreement.
La Peikang was very happy at this moment. This political achievement project was indispensable without the participation of China Film. Well, since Ren Zhonglun is not here today, there is more room for maneuver!
…………
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were laughing so hard that in the evening, Ning Hao ran over looking disgusted.
This guy couldn't avoid the favor of his mentor in the photography department, so he went to support the film screening and seminar of "Pure Heart·Chasing Dream Showbiz".
“I came out of school, didn’t go home, and came directly to your place. Let me tell you, I felt as sick as if I had eaten shit this afternoon!
Yes I don’t know how disgusting that movie is. It lasts an average of six to seven minutes and has 11 story lines, but all the fucking story lines are completely unrelated and have no intersection.
The editing is also very confusing, casual! I almost fainted when I saw the transition between scenes! One word was "bad" and two words were "very bad". It was so bad.
The most important thing is that the whole movie has no nutrition from beginning to end. It is purely for the purpose of filming hidden rules and sensationalism;
It is all criticism, shady, hidden rules, negativity, and dark points of society... without any It's a bit of a good thing, but there's no summary or sublimation at the end.
If this movie passes censorship, I will rip off my head and play it as a ball! "
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. Good guy, when was the last time Ning Hao was so excited and irritable?
Oh, I remembered it, it was "No Man's Land" was rejected again and again but no decision was made to remake it.
Although his state today is not as "devastated" as when "No Man's Land" was killed, it can still be regarded as one of the few exceptions after that time in so many years!
“Is it really so bad?” Liu Yifei asked curiously.
The disgusted expression on Ning Hao's face became even heavier: "Director Gu watched with a sullen face, and closed his eyes to concentrate on the second half; Director Cao Baoping made an excuse to run away in the middle...< br>
None of Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Rui, and Lu Chuan have normal expressions! It’s just a bunch of people from the acting academy who are making noise..."
"So, you said that last sentence too early! Lin Nan crossed her legs and looked at Ning Hao with a smile.
"Which sentence?" Ning Hao didn't respond for a while.
"If you pass the review, you will twist off your head and play it as a ball!"
"Pass the review? How is this possible...possible?"
"The Academy of Performing Arts fully supports it. Yes, that director Bi, right? He is also a golden signature of the acting academy. If he is really audited, can you think of a way to help?
Do you think this is all your "No Man's Land"? , that happened just after that, and I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.”
Hearing what Lin Nan said, Ning Hao was completely speechless. It seemed that he had spoken too early!
At around six o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not stay with Ning Hao for dinner. After watching him drive away, Director Lin felt lucky:
"Fortunately, I didn't stay with my boss. Jiang agreed to the invitation from the acting academy, otherwise, hey... I don't dare think about it."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and took Lin Nan's arm: "Then you can also follow the example of Teacher Cao Baoping and run away in the middle. Lu, hehe..."
"Forget it, I don't want to do this anymore. They promised to give you the script, but I don't know if it can be delivered tomorrow."
"It's probably just the past two days. I guess I want to wait for the trial before sending it over."
Liu Yifei tilted her head and guessed.
Two days ago, when she received a call from Chen Hong and heard about the audition invitation, Liu Yifei immediately showed the attitude that a mature actor should have: demanding to see the complete script first.
She replied without consulting Lin Nan. Chen Hong also agreed in a good tone, saying that he would send someone to deliver a copy in the next few days.
It was Liu Yifei who opened her mouth and Chen Hong had such a good temper. If it were any other young actress in the industry, who would dare to ask to read the script first?
"I'll take a look at it for you after it's delivered. I don't know when Director Chen is going to turn it on and whether there will be any conflicts..." Lin Nan took over the conversation and smiled.
