Chapter 1066: Willing to be a foster father (please vote for me)
“With the current size of the market, science fiction can indeed be done.”
It wasn’t that I was unwilling to do science fiction in the past, mainly because The movie box office may not exceed 100 million yuan even if it works hard. If you want to protect your capital, you can only reduce the production cost to less than 30 million yuan.
Thirty million can make a great science fiction film.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t work hard, it’s that the direction is wrong. The harder you work, the faster you will die.
It's like cultural export or something.
Hao Yun seems to have achieved some output, but in the final analysis, apart from the fact that he is indeed defiant enough and can convince others with his talent, the main reason is that China's development has been getting better and better in recent years.
Foreigners have to stop and look at this country.
So the real output depends on national strength.
The same is true for the real rise of science fiction. It needs to reach a specific stage of market development before it can give talented directors enough stage.
Nowadays, movies with a box office of 600 to 700 million are released, and Hao Yun also has the ability to distribute overseas, so he is indeed capable of making science fiction movies.
"Boss, can we really do it? When will we do it, I will be your deputy!"
Guo Fan was overjoyed.
He also analyzed it and felt that it was time to make a science fiction movie.
But Hao Yun has the final say on Heidou Media, especially for projects involving hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, no company will let go easily.
Only Aunt Hua has a strong background, so she dares to make an animated film with an investment of hundreds of millions.
I didn’t expect Hao Yun to nod so easily.
"Lao Guo, you have been with the company for several years." Hao Yun was speechless.
"In just a few years, it has not even been ten years since the company has grown to the size it is today!"
Guo Fan interrupted Hao Yun's lyricism in a very disrespectful manner.
Look, how the flattery was photographed?
It’s also flattering, but Guo Fan can make different beats.
After Hao Yun no longer needs to play both sides, Guo Fan has become the number one succubus in the entertainment industry.
"Stop your tricks!"
Unfortunately, Hao Yun didn't buy it at all. This was just a big deal in front of Guan Gong. How can a person who often pours ecstasy soup on others be easily enchanted.
"Hehe~" Guo Fan smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, you don't need to play both sides like me. Black Bean Media and I are your backers... Focus your main energy on filming, Guo Fan, you and Lu Yang are different. ”
Hao Yun sighed and gave Guo Fan a reassurance.
Although he became Jiang Wen's disciple, Jiang Wen had to find investment for his own filming, so how could he be allocated resources to him.
Whether it is acting in a film crew or attracting investment to make a movie, Hao Yun has to do it himself.
Moreover, his plug-in attribute also determines that he must contact more people.
Guo Fan doesn’t need it!
Black Bean Media is now the number one film label for domestic entertainment. It has rich resources and strong funds. It can't make any movie it wants.
“You can pull me down, that’s what you and Lu Yang said too!”
Guo Fan was so moved that he even wanted to choke, but he still used witticisms to ease the mood. .
"Haha~" Hao Yun drank all the tea in the cup.
"The movie I want to make may cost hundreds of millions..." Guo Fan also knew that he had a company, but even Black Bean Media had to deal with this cost pressure.
After one year, the company has only produced a few S-level works.
Even the ones Hao Yun personally worked on were mostly C-level works.
"If you really think so, you'd better not make this movie..." Hao Yun said unceremoniously.
"Huh?" Guo Fan was dumbfounded.
You were doting on me just now, why am I going to be in the cold palace in the blink of an eye?
“The Wandering Earth” is not like “Source Code” where you can take advantage of the budget. No matter how you shoot it, you can’t keep the budget down. If you just want to make a movie that costs over 100 million, then it is really a disgrace to the film. For this novel, you should just keep making your romance movies.”
Hao Yun knew how picky Guo Fan was when making movies.
For a script like "The Time Traveler", it would have cost ten to twenty million US dollars without worrying about repayment, but Guo Panlen only spent more than seven million US dollars to film it. .
The actors we are looking for are the kind of handsome men and beauties who are well-known for their roles in American dramas and want to make the transition to the big screen.
The pay is outrageously low.
The most outrageous thing is that he also hired Matt Damon to play the male protagonist's father, and used makeup technology to build a huge easter egg into the movie.
His plan is to wait for "The Martian" to be released, followed by "The Martian" to maximize the popularity.
“But if the cost is too high, I’m afraid of losing money!” Guo Fan rubbed his hands and trembled with excitement.
Wucao, what is the upper limit of the boss's tolerance?
One hundred million is not enough, what about 200 million?
Even three hundred million!
No, no, I will faint if I think about it again.
"If you're not sure, just practice more," Hao Yun said nonchalantly: "The scripts are all piled up there anyway. We have distribution and theaters in hand, so we don't have to worry about not having projects at all."< br>
"Boss..."
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. As a foster father."
It seems that he may be beaten to death by his boss.
"Stop doing this and just keep filming. I hope to make a lot of money from you. If you lose money to me, I will kill you."
Hao Yun pretended Said viciously.
"Boss, I don't want the director's fee...I..."
Guo Fan doesn't want to lose money either.
Movies are a very miraculous industry. Its payback cycle is very short. If it is quick, you can see the money back in half a year. Like in the Hong Kong film industry in the past, movies are already being promoted and ready for release, and there may only be Just give a film title, wait for everyone to find a schedule, spend a week or two, and then release it quickly to completely make money.
How much money you make, including the box office output and the employment generated in all aspects, can often make people rich overnight.
However, the movie also has a cruel side.
Most of them lose money, and in the worst case, they can even lose a movie company.
Guo Fan respects Hao Yun very much and loves Heidou Media. He does not want to bring down the company, so he expands his contacts like a butterfly and tries every means to save money.
"No need, just your director's fee."
Hao Yun was very disdainful. He was a relatively generous person, and the compensation he paid to Guo Fan's assistant director was only a few hundred thousand. .
As a director, if you can't stand out, you will still be at the bottom of the entertainment industry.
At most, I just have more romantic encounters.
Not worth mentioning.
Only when you reach Hao Yun's position, can you say that you don't care so much about the director's remuneration and film remuneration.
Anyway, he invested in the movies himself.
For example, in "Fireworks in the Day", Wan Qian's salary was 800,000 yuan, while Hao Yun's salary was 1 yuan.
The director's fee didn't count, he just got 5% of the film's share.
Now, no one uses salary to define his status.
Hao Yun is not particular about endorsement fees either.
After many endorsements expired, he did not renew them. Currently, his most important endorsement is Little Forest Pure Water.
“Stop saying anything, I’m going to work!”
Guo Fan screamed and rushed to the set as if he had been beaten to death.
Hao Yun was still sitting there drinking tea leisurely.
When Guo Fan had everything ready, he walked around in a circle with his hands behind his back to make final inspections, and then announced that the film would continue shooting.
The filming continued like this until the Capital International Film Festival.
I heard about the Capital International Film Festival a few years ago, but now the dust has just settled.
Hao Yun went to participate not as a judge.
Because the Capital International Film Program currently does not have an awards section, it currently only has the opening ceremony, screening, film negotiation, film concert, and closing ceremony.
Hao Yun needs to attend, mainly because he and An Xiaoxi are the image ambassadors of the first Capital International Film Season.
This image ambassador was not chosen on a temporary basis. There has been a lot of commotion since last year.
Many people support Fang Long and Zhang Ziyi.
The reason is that they have the highest international status. It is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Long is the number one Chinese in the international film industry.
Li Lianjie is far behind him. Not to mention Chow Yun-fat, and people like Chow Sui-fat and Liang Chaowei, except to make money, they usually don’t come to the mainland.
Only Fanglong travels to the mainland all year round and actively participates in various charities.
So, there is basically no controversy if you choose him.
Aunt Zhang Zi is quite controversial. She has been bouncing around in various jobs in the past two years, and her national popularity has dropped significantly. After breaking up with the international media tycoon Ivy Niwo, her influence in the international film industry is also not as good as before.
But if nothing else happens, the two of them will definitely be the image spokespersons of the Capital International Film Festival.
The accident happened to Hao Yun.
Hao Yun participated in "Inception" last year and released "Source Code" and "Manchester by the Sea".
In particular, "Manchester by the Sea" swept many awards in Europe and the United States in the second half of last year, and finally won multiple awards at the 83rd Academy Awards at the beginning of this year.
He became the second Chinese Best Director and the first Chinese Best Actor.
I don’t know what the above considerations were, but they directly named Hao Yun to be the image spokesperson of the first Capital International Film Festival.
By the way, he was paired with An Xiaoxi.
If you choose Hao Yun, you will definitely choose An Xiaoxi.
An Xiaoxi is not without some international influence.
Her and Hao Yun's movies have sold well in Asia and even the world, and their albums have also been sold in Europe and the United States.
Moreover, her status in the fashion circle is higher than that of Aunt Zhang Zi.
Just as Aunt Zhang Zi improved her international status because of Ivy Niwo, An Xiaoxi's husband is Hao Yun, and she can also use Hao Yun's influence to increase her status.
As the image spokesperson, Hao Yun is going to attend the opening and closing ceremonies.
As a director with international influence, he will participate in the Film Charm·BJ Forum, and he will be required to receive some international filmmakers.
Golden Lion Award winner, Oscar Best Director, where does this name go...
Bi Fanglong is much better.
As the boss of Black Bean Media and FC Pictures, Hao Yun needs to participate in Beijing film negotiations and provide help for Huaxia Film’s investment, export sales and other negotiation activities.
Finally, it was the College Student Film Festival, which was merged into the International Film Festival, and Hao Yun was the award presenter.
This has been busy for several days.
After Hao Yun left the crew, he handed over all the crew's affairs to Guo Fan and Cao Zhen.
If Guo Fan is the hardest working person, then Cao Zhen must be the busiest.
He had just finished serving as the photography director of "33 Days After Love", and was roped in to serve as the photography director of "Life of Pi". He is not so ruthless in handling animals.
Cao Zhen has a good relationship with Hei Niu.
Except for the friendship he had when filming "Little Forest" in Quanshang Village, he felt that he and the black girl were of the same kind, and that they were both evil horses.
Even if there was a notebook for him, he wouldn't have time to take pictures.
However, because "Manchester by the Sea" won several awards in Europe and the United States, and was even nominated for an Oscar, he is now so bad that he has no friends.
I have also taken a break from being a director.
I feel that there is nothing wrong with being a professional photography director.
In addition, the reelection meeting of the Directors Association was also held during the Capital International Film Festival.
In this case, it can also attract many guests to the Capital International Film Festival.
The Mainland Directors' Association is changing, and directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places will come to watch the ceremony. Although most of them are doing it for Hao Yun's sake, if they really walk on the red carpet of the opening ceremony, who can not? It is said that the Capital International Film Festival has a reputation.
The Shanghai International Film Festival next door almost made me cry with envy.
It's not that Hao Yun has chosen to take sides. The main reason is that he mainly lives in the capital and must have good dealings with the current management.
On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi stepped on the red carpet.
I still remember the first time I stepped onto the red carpet of the College Student Film Festival. Hao Yun didn’t come with Jiang Wen that time, but with Lu Long.
In order to make Hao Yun act as his foil, he also paid for Hao Yun to buy a Baleno suit for Hao Yun.
The chair was "given" by Lu Long, and the clothes were given by Lu Long.
That year, Hao Yun stood beside Lu Long like a henchman. If he hadn’t been so handsome and made Lu Long look like a horse, reporters probably wouldn’t have noticed him at the time. people.
Hao Yun is really grateful to Lu Long for his "support".
Having said that, if Lu Long wasn't so arrogant and hypocritical.
Hao Yun may belong to the same sect as him now.
Maybe we should call him Senior Brother Lu Long, who is also a disciple of the Jiang family.
Unfortunately, this guy is not only hypocritical, but the most unbearable thing is his smelly butt...
So, Hao Yun prepared a "big gift" for Lu Sang.
Waiting until the film festival is over to give it to Lu Sang, it will not be in vain to get to know each other.
There were no surprises on the red carpet.
When asked about the second child during the interview, both Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were a little confused.
The two are now married and have a baby.
When the media hypes them up, they usually say that there is something wrong with their relationship and the marriage may not survive.
Anyway, that's all, urging them to get together when they're not together.
After they got together, they cursed them to break up quickly.
Don't underestimate this kind of curse, it's so useful. Now not only are Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng's marriage having problems, but even the marriage between the princess and Li Guanpeng is beginning to be in jeopardy.
Some people even photographed the princess and Xie Tingfeng meeting - certainly not to review their respective marriages.
If the meeting place is not a restaurant but a hotel...
News like "Princess Nicholas Tse's night party at the hotel, the battle for four days and four nights, and the indecent video leaked without censorship!" will probably break out.
But this time Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were not asked about their divorce, but about their second child. This was indeed the first time.
"Probably..." An Xiaoxi looked at Hao Yun stupidly and asked, "Are you alive?"
"Ahem, let's discuss this after we get home!"
The situation is not right, my wife!
The host laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up and couldn't continue to embarrass this cute young couple.
Hao Gou may have acted, but An Xiaoxi's reaction was real and cute.
This is a little woman who has never experienced any hardships.
Her man has been supporting her for ten years and is now the happiest person in the entertainment industry.
Hao Yun was invited to speak at the opening ceremony.
If it were an ordinary director, he would probably brag about his glorious history both subtly and subtly.
It’s always what I did when I was shooting something.
Hao Yun is different from them.
He didn’t mention a single word about his movie throughout the whole process, let alone the Golden Lion Award or Oscar.
He mainly talks about the current situation of Chinese-language films and the exchanges with international films.
Many people feel that there is a big gap between domestic films and overseas films.
But Hao Yun doesn’t think so.
Every country has its own history and culture. It cannot be simply summarized with a big gap, and then blindly chase and imitate.
Developing film art that can truly reflect one's own culture is what filmmakers should do.
The cultural confidence reflected in his speech made the leaders present nod their heads.
Look, I haven't even become the president yet, but I already have that momentum.
The reelection meeting of the Directors Association was scheduled for the next day. In the morning, everyone watched some movie screenings, and in the afternoon they gathered together for the formal election.
The re-election meeting is very important to the Guidance Association.
As long as they could spare the time, everyone came to participate.
Including not only top directors such as Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Gu Changwei, Ma Dagang, and Section Chief Jia, but also seniors who have retreated to the second line.
For example, the second Guidance Association President Wu Yigong, Vice President Teng Wenji and so on.
The previous leadership team Huang Jianxin, Han Sanping and others will naturally not be absent.
It can be said that the Directors Association has not had such a strong lineup for a long time.
