Chapter 445: Co-shooting and sticking-shooting
There is no simple role that can rise to the top in the entertainment industry. Tianbao and Cheng Yu'an couldn't get along, so they came to save the country through twists and turns. She has become very close to Liu Yifei these days.
"Yang Tianbao joins hands with Liu Yifei, Chinese actress becomes the most beautiful scenery in Shuicheng"
Look at what I bought from this newsletter.
But Liu Yifei still said the same thing, a little cold to outsiders.
She knew that the other party was here to have a relationship, so she only maintained superficial politeness with Yang Tianbao these days, and did not have a close relationship with him.
Many people in the entertainment industry tried to connect with Cheng Yuan through her, but they failed.
"I don't like her." In the evening, when Cheng Yu'an returned to the hotel from the judges' exchange meeting, she commented on Yang Tianbao.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's normal to want to have a relationship with us, but her low-profile flattery made me very uncomfortable." Liu Yifei poured a glass of milk for Cheng Yu'an, "I'm not a young lady, and I have an assistant to do things for me. She's a bit too proactive.
Already."
"Her career has just started, so it makes sense for her to be trying to get ahead." It's difficult to get ahead in the entertainment industry, and any newcomer is not trying his best to climb up.
"How did the movie go?"
"What, you want to trick me?" Cheng Yu'an laughed.
"Who tricked you?" Liu Yifei knew that the judges couldn't talk nonsense, "I took the time to watch a few movies, but they all felt bad."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu'an was interested in hearing her views on art films.
"I can't tell. I always feel that this year's films are lackluster and have no surprises." She couldn't tell specifically, so she just felt something was wrong. "I feel that the film is getting further and further away from the audience. The director and screenwriter are trying to make things mysterious, and it seems that people can't understand it."
, it’s a good movie only if you feel drowsy after watching it.”
Liu Yifei's feeling is right. In the past two years, major film festivals have begun to use grand narratives.
Just like the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, he prefers works in the so-called "reflective era" and "national epic" genres.
And neglected the story itself and the simple inner emotions and feelings of the characters.
This is also what Cheng Yu'an doesn't like. Sometimes he just wants to see the director's expression of the emotions of a single character.
Filming a so-called "national epic" is suspected of being a misfortune.
Of course, good movies ruin everything.
Cheng Yu'an was extremely busy in Venice, and the domestic market was in full swing.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman" were released on the same day, followed by "Prometheus" and "The Expendables 2" the following week.
In the past two weeks, domestic films have been on fire.
Of course, the producers are happy to see the infighting in Hollywood, but the theaters are extremely dissatisfied with this kind of film schedule. These four films need to be arranged scientifically, which will be enough for the theaters for two months. Now they are squeezed together and released, causing the theaters to suffer.
.
"What a bully!" Jiang Xuerou called Cheng Yu'an, "Why should I put "Looper" on the National Day schedule?"
"Looper" enters China as a co-production and is scheduled to be released on September 28.
This film was used as a negative example by Cheng Yu'an when negotiating the film agreement. It was said that he asked for a favor, but he did not give a line of dialogue and had very few appearances - only appearing in the protagonist's dreams and memories for a few minutes.
Cheng Yu'an said rightly at the beginning that this could not be considered a co-production at all.
"I reported it to the General Administration," Jiang Xuerou said, "but it was useless. This film was qualified for co-production last year."
During the National Day holiday this year, Yuan Yuan will be filming "BJ Meets Seattle" starring Liu Yifei. The press release for "Liu Yifei's image-breaking comedy debut" has been released for more than a month. At this time, "Loop Messenger" came in, and Yuan Yuan had to put it
The estimated box office estimate for "BJ Meets in Seattle" has been adjusted from 500 million to 300 million.
Also reported to the police were Guangxian and Huayi.
Their "Tongque Terrace" and "Tai Chi 1" are scheduled for the 26th and the other for the 27th.
But all reports came to nothing.
Cheng Yu'an couldn't do anything about it: "It's okay, I'll release it on the 21st as originally planned."
Yang Mi, who was on the set of "Tianji: Residence in the Fuchun Mountains", also had troubles that she couldn't express.
She is not afraid of "Tai Chi 1". The company is not optimistic about the film. "Tongque Terrace" and "BJ Meets Seattle" were released 6 days apart. "Tongque Terrace" also has Fa Ge as the director. She is not false. Now
When a movie "Looper" suddenly appeared, she was really afraid that she would end up like "Wu-Tang" again.
Since the company has left her in a semi-freedom state - it will be announced at the end of the year that she will go out to open a studio independently, it doesn't care much about her now.
She first posted her weird comments on "Looper" on Weibo:
"There are many foreign films now. A completely American story, with a small investment of money, some Chinese elements, and a Chinese actor, it is called a co-production. In fact, it can only be regarded as a 'post-production film.'"
Yang Mi's ending put the co-production and post-production in front of fans.
Yang Mi’s fans frantically attacked this trickery.
"If Sino-US co-productions focus exclusively on the United States, it will only help Hollywood further occupy the Chinese market, and the consequences will be disastrous. They come here purely to make money."
Seeing someone taking the lead, the big bosses stopped trying to hide it. Wang Zhonglei said: "A co-production in which we do not take the lead in investment, creation, and production will have no effect at all on improving our experience in all aspects. It is just a co-production."
This is a kind of rapid speculation, which is a disguised way of acquiring domestic copyrights at high prices."
"When Huayi first came into contact with co-productions, in addition to starring and Chinese elements, Chinese investment was also required to account for half. Huayi's concept of co-productions focused more on the connection between the story and China. Even if it is a co-production, it must be
It is based on a very ideal combination, investing for the sake of investment, Huayi will never do it."
Producer Wu Baige said: "We used to have a play called "Flying Tiger", which told the story of American pilots in China. I showed the script to the Americans. They told me that they didn't want so many Chinese people in it because
American audiences don’t like to watch it. In fact, I know very well what Americans want. They can film the Great Wall, but what they want is to ‘build the Great Wall to deal with aliens’.”
Seeing that the topic was becoming more and more popular, the General Administration had to respond. Deputy Director Zhang Piming pointed out at the meeting: "Imported films have changed their appearance and entered the mainland market as 'co-productions', which not only caused a large amount of film investment funds to drain away, but also occupied market space.
, posing a threat to domestic films, and Sino-US co-productions must be strictly censored in the future.”
“All the requirements for a co-production film must be met in order to be eligible for co-production.”
"China's investment ratio and the crew staff must be no less than one-third; Chinese actors must play the main roles; filming needs to be done in China; and no less than one-third of the post-production must be done domestically."
The direct result of Zhang Ju's response was that "The Expendables 2", which was originally qualified for co-production, was urgently delisted and will be released in China with the qualification of imported film.
But "Looper" was about to be released, and I didn't feel like making any more moves, so I let the movie go.
Letv, the Chinese producer of "The Expendables 2", wants to curse!
"Looper" was released more than 20 days later than "The Expendables 2" and was able to maintain its co-production status, but "The Expendables 2" was actually delisted.
Who told you that you are LeTV, and the Chinese investor of "Looper" is DMG?
Zhang Zhao, President of LeTV Pictures, also responded positively: "From the beginning, we never thought that we must enjoy the treatment of co-productions. LeTV Pictures is one of the producers, but what kind of treatment this film will enjoy in China is a policy issue.
, we will naturally abide by the relevant regulations, and we also fully understand the considerations of the relevant departments, which was made clear from the beginning of our participation in the film."
