Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth take the initiative to come to the door
Because "The Martian" and "2012" bucked the market trend, the market rebounded during the three-day New Year's Day holiday.
It is estimated that there will be 100 million.
Seize the time remotely and conduct the final wave of publicity for "The Martian."
With a market price of RMB 100 million, "The Martian", which has been released for almost two months, would not be too much to take another RMB 20 million.
"Avatar" will be released in mainland China on the 4th, and other films will have no chance of survival.
That’s not right, there is still a warrior who is not afraid of death and is in the January release: Fa Ge’s “Confucius”.
Mr. Zhou is very unlucky this Lunar New Year.
"Confucius" in January and "Su Qier" in February cannot be said to be bad movies, but they are not very popular.
You want to say that Mr. Zhou didn't know that these two couldn't sell at the box office, it's impossible.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou, who works hard to do business, looks quite pitiful.
The Grand Slam has been obtained, and there are blockbusters like "The Wind" at the box office.
There is also "Painted Skin 2", which is sure to be a hit, waiting for him, so at least when it comes to promoting "Confucius", Mr. Zhou behaves a little relaxed or even perfunctory.
"Don't smoke in my place." Mr. Zhou was sitting on the sofa of Cheng Yu'an's house with his legs crossed and smoking.
"You haven't seen a single customer here for a year and a half, so let me increase your popularity." Mr. Zhou had his own set of fallacies.
"I've watched the film. It's neat and tidy. It's neither exciting nor ugly." Cheng Yu'an changed the topic, "This kind of neatness can be forgiven if applied to other subjects, but it is an unforgivable mistake when applied to Confucius."
"Director Hu Mei still committed a common problem among directors of his generation, failing to maintain a balance between art and commerce."
"If you were asked to photograph Confucius, how would you photograph him?" Mr. Zhou asked him.
But Cheng Yuan shook his head: "I don't have the ability to film Confucius in 90 to 120 minutes. This proposition is too huge."
"Confucius is best made into a TV series, using dozens of episodes to show his life in detail, but Zhang Xinjian's "Confucius" in 1991 can no longer be surpassed. The best era of epic biopics has passed."
This is really not Cheng Yu'an's self-effacement. He really wasn't sure that he could film Confucius well in the form of a movie.
"If it had to be made into a movie, Hu Mei could actually follow the example of "Red Cliff" and make it into two parts, or even a trilogy. Such a capacity would be enough. But literary films do not allow her to do this."
"So she ended with Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals, 'Future generations will understand me because of this book; they will misunderstand me because of this book.' After all, she was not talking about Hu Mei herself. I believe she was the same when she received the movie.
One head and two big ones."
Although Cheng Yu'an always felt that Hu Mei's "Confucius" was not well filmed, he did not criticize it harshly. Someone needs to make this kind of epic biopic.
After leaving Young Master Zhou to eat, Cheng Yu'an sent her back.
Before leaving, Mr. Zhou did not forget to urge him: "When will you give me the new play you promised me?"
"Your film dates are scheduled for the year after next, but you still need a role like mine. I heard that Mr. Xu is asking you to make a 3D movie. It should be fun."
What Cheng Yu'an is talking about is "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", the first 3D movie in Chinese language in the true sense.
Cheng Yu'an is not a technical person and is not that interested in 3D, and he does not think that 3D will replace 2D. But Mr. Xu got this idea after seeing how popular the 3D "Avatar" was in the market.
I heard that we are currently investigating 3D shooting.
"That play looked interesting to me, so I took it. Oh, by the way." Mr. Zhou said, "Is your company still short of people?"
Mr. Zhou's contract with Huayi expires in 10 years, and she will definitely not renew it.
"What? You want to sign up for a company?" Cheng Yu'an said with a smile, "I don't think you need to sign up for a company. You can set up a personal studio or start your own company. It will be under the remote banner. We will manage it for you and you can sign it yourself.
Newcomers, if you are looking for a project, if the company has a project, you will be given priority. Isn’t this better than signing with a company?”
Signing her is really cost-effective. Signing Sanjinying is no less than inviting a Bodhisattva to the company. Once she comes, Sister Sissi's position will definitely have to be given up.
The company will definitely have to customize a script for her when the time comes.
Another thing is that artist managers have the same tricks as artist managers, and it is also a difficult problem for her to sign a contract.
Can Cai Yinong command her?
If you have the money to sign three golden movie queens, it would be more affordable and easier to manage (squeeze) a few more newcomers.
Mr. Zhou knew Cheng Yu'an's considerations and said that he could not find a more suitable partner for signing a long-distance contract. On a whim, he said before leaving that he would consider what he said when he returned.
…………
At the celebration banquet before, Cheng Yu'an said that he thought of a scene that would be suitable for Tong Liya. This was the first reaction in his mind at that time, and he came out with a bald mouth.
But when Cheng Yuan moved his mouth, Tong Liya really listened.
In the past few days, I have been pestering my agent, trying to find out what the drama my boss promised was.
She also went to the Literature Department every day to see if there were any new scripts.
The agent was so annoyed by her that he simply said: "The company's latest drama is called "The Dark Side", and it has been given to Yang Xue and Wan Qian. I haven't heard of any new scripts."
"He is such a busy person. He is so talkative that he might turn around and forget about it."
Tong Liya thought about the same truth, but she was unwilling to accept it and went to the racecourse alone to "encounter" Cheng Yu'an.
I actually met her by chance.
When Cheng Yu'an saw Tong Liya coming, he guessed what she wanted to do by looking at her vague expression.
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "There is a play, and I have already given the outline to the Literature Department."
It is impossible for Tong Liya, a pure newcomer, to get words out of the writers of the Literature Department.
Although that drama was just an idea that Cheng Yu'an came up by chance when he saw Tong Liya at the celebration party, but after thinking about it seriously, he found that it was really suitable for her now.
Dark, thin, and dry-looking, he looks like an ugly duckling.
Tong Liya was afraid that coming here so rashly would leave a bad impression on Cheng Yu'an, so she wanted to explain, but Cheng Yu'an said: "It's okay, this is good. You just need to know how to fight for yourself. This is the outline. You take it first.
Go back and read it, the detailed script will be released after the year."
Tong Liya took the manuscript and looked at it. First of all, it was a movie.
This makes her very happy, everyone wants to act in movies.
It's called "A Little Thing About First Love" and she plays the protagonist Xiao Shui.
"Director Cheng, I'm already 27, is it appropriate to play this kind of student?" Tong Liya's first reaction after receiving the outline was not happiness, but inferiority complex.
"Why should I give it to you if it's not suitable?" Cheng Yu'an said, "You prepare well. Although this drama is a bit bloody, the results will not be bad. What drama will the company arrange for you later?" Cheng Yu'an began to ask her about the schedule.
.
"There will be a movie called "The Strange Man Yizhimei" later, with Shi Shi."
"Isn't it the drama that Tang Ren had so much in his hands before?"
"Um."
"In what month will it be launched?"
"May."
"No delay," Cheng Yu'an went through the filming schedule in his mind, ""A Little Thing About First Love" will start shooting in March and will be completed in May. If you join the set two days later, there will be no delay."
"Well, thank you, Director Cheng."
"Go back, your agent should be worried if he can't find you." Cheng Yu'an didn't have anything to say to Tong Liya.
Sure enough, the agent was very dissatisfied with Tong Liya's behavior of going directly to the boss instead of him, and wanted to scold her, but seeing that she had already got the script, she had nowhere to vent her anger, but he scolded her in a strong tone.
Chapter completed!
