During the past few days in the United States, the aunt and nephew have been thinking about one thing.

Has the so-called Sino-US co-production ever come to fruition?

Even if he was reborn, Cheng Yu'an didn't have a definite answer to this question.

Affected by the new film agreement, the hottest thing in the past two years has been Sino-US co-productions.

But Yuan Yuan is a bit conservative in this regard.

I only tested the waters with "Super Body", which cost only US$40 million.

We will send back all the so-called "co-production" scripts from Hollywood manufacturers remotely.

The aunt and nephew had been thinking about it for several days, but they had no idea.

Production director Sarah thought this was just a minor problem, and she even suggested making the rebooted "Jurassic Park" a co-production.

It is easy to arrange Chinese actors, and it is also easier to arrange the post-production in China, and it is even simpler to fund and staff the film.

The key is how to film "Jurassic Park" in China.

We can’t really let the protagonist take a plane from Beijing to fly to the United States, right?

Cheng Yu'an immediately stopped Sarah's crazy idea: "Sarah, China doesn't have its own dinosaur movie yet. The audience doesn't seem to be interested in monsters like dinosaurs. I advise you to give up the idea of ​​filming in China. When the time comes, it will be filmed for the Chinese audience."

If you don’t like it, it will be awkward for North American audiences, and it won’t please either side.”

It's not that Cheng Yu'an has never thought about turning "Jurassic World" into a co-production, but he really doesn't have a better way.

The biggest market for the "Jurassic" series is North America.

The aunt and nephew thought about it for a few days and agreed that whether it is a Sino-US co-production, a Sino-Korean co-production or a Sino-Japanese co-production, the latter two are actually fine, as there is no cultural barrier after all.

Sino-US co-productions are not making much headway.

The two aunts and nephews have reached a consensus that although it doesn't do much for the actors, it still brings a lot of benefits to the staff behind the scenes.

The two decided not to deliberately pursue co-production, and Cheng Yu'an took advantage of the situation and proposed a new concept:

One book and two photos.

"One script and two takes literally means the same script, and the directors of the two countries adjust the shooting according to their own specific conditions. This will greatly shorten the cycle and save costs."

Cheng Lingfeng thought for a while and felt that a two-part film would be more exciting than a co-production: "This model seems a bit interesting." Cheng Lingfeng became interested, "We can try a Chinese and Korean one-part two-part film. After all, the two countries' cultures are not the same."

If there is any gap, the book can be used by fine-tuning it. It can also generate income for our Korean studio.

"Hey, how's it going at the Korean studio? I heard that you're being targeted?"

"Last year, we were targeted in a small area. CJ and the others stood on the dry bank and watched the excitement, saying they would protect us, but everyone knew they were taking the opportunity to beat us. We kept a low profile in Korea last year, and we filmed this year.

There is a movie and two TV series to be aired."

Speaking of the development in the Korean market, Cheng Yuan is very dissatisfied with the Big Four in Korea. They have made a lot of money on themselves. Last year, the Korean studio was targeted. CJ just said a few dry words and ignored it. He did not take any practical actions.

nothing.

"That's why I gave "Ex Machina" to SM. They are not the only four film studios in the Korean market. They are doing this, and there are many people who want to cooperate with us. I also plan to find film companies other than the four major film companies for this two-part project.

Do."

Therefore, Cheng Yu'an has not been to South Korea this year, although people from CJ and Lotte always call and invite him.

After "The Saint" won the Golden Lion Award, Finecut (the producer of "The Saint") wanted to invite him to South Korea to express his gratitude, but Cheng Yu'an didn't go.

Now that I'm going to go, it's really yellow mud falling into my crotch, it's not just shit, it's shit.

…………

When Cheng Yu'an returned to China, he was told that his favorite "White Deer Plain" was released.

"I know, Wang Quan'an's drama will definitely fail."

"how do you know?"

"I have no problem with Wang Quan'an's directorial skills. After all, he won the Berlin Golden Bear. I mean, an epic like "White Deer Plain" cannot be made into a movie. Even if he extends the length of the film to 150 minutes, it is not enough to show a family.

and the century-old changes of a region.

"Don't say it's him. Even if Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were tied together, they wouldn't be able to film it.

""White Deer Plain" has a long time span, many characters, and many things. It is best to make it into a TV series. Hey, we can buy the rights and make a TV series."

"Besides, this movie was used by Wang Quan'an to pick up girls. If I guess correctly, he chose Tian Xiao'e as the protagonist, right?"

"how do you know?"

"He broke up with Yu Nan and is pursuing Zhang Yuqi. He must be more interested in love than Tian Xiao'e.

"He said it himself, he fell in love with two things in France, movies and women. What do you think he will make of "White Deer Plain"."

The preparation period for "White Deer Plain" was indeed very long. As early as 2007, screenwriter Lu Wei announced that Yu Nan would be the heroine. At that time, Wang Quanan had not broken up with Yu Nan.

When Wang Quan'an broke up with Yu Nan in 2009, he decisively replaced her with Zhang Yuqi.

The two got married last year.

Xiying and Shaanxi Tourism Group also committed a crime by spending 100 million to Director Wang to pick up girls.

It was because of China Film's malicious film scheduling that there were no good domestic films in September. It should be said that before "Tongque Terrace" was released on September 26, there were no good domestic films in September.

I thought I had a good schedule for "White Deer Plain" - if there is no film, why don't I take it all?

Do you think Berlin’s Best Director is a joke? It’s not worse than Venice’s Best Director, right?

But reality slapped the crew hard in the face.

On the first weekend, it collected 21 million in two days.

"It's not satisfactory. Judging from the current situation, it is possible for the film's total box office to exceed 100 million yuan. Compared with the film's cost of 120 million yuan, the box office must reach 300 million yuan to make back the money."

There are not a few people who have read the novel "White Deer Plain".

"Walking into the cinema with the right expectations, the movie itself was far from meeting expectations. The slow and broken story rhythm, pale and vague character creation, hasty and weak ending, etc. were not satisfactory. In contrast, the distinctive style of the movie

Image processing has become a highlight of the film.”

"Bai Ling is gone, Lu Zhaohai is gone, Tian Xiao'e's emotional entanglement has become the main line, and a thick epic seems so thin after being visualized. No wonder some comments said that this movie should not be called "White Deer Plain", but should be called "

"Tian Xiao'e on Bailuyuan".

"The film is basically: a wheat field, Tian Xiao'e and the first man; another wheat field, Tian Xiao'e and the second man; another wheat field, Tian Xiao'e and the third man; still a wheat field, Tian Xiao'e is dead."

The fascinating story in the original work is promoted, but the film handles it only superficially. Audiences who have not seen the original work will inevitably be a little confused. Some people ridiculed: "The movie "White Deer Plain" should have more subtitles from time to time." For details, please see

Original work'."

This movie was a hit without a doubt.
