Chapter 760 I dont like it
Cheng Yuan really has nothing to say about his support for young directors.
There are many books he wants to make, but as long as the younger generations ask for them, Cheng Yu'an will basically give them up.
Not to mention Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", he gave "The Invisible Guest" to Xin Yukun, and "Detective Chinatown" was a gold mine, he gave it to Han Yan without a second thought.
The book Wen Muye was talking to him about now was also the one he kept at the bottom of his box - "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Cheng Yu'an often said in the company's internal symposiums: "I only have a few notebooks, so don't catch me picking them up."
But who calls him the boss? If he doesn’t take his job, who will take it?
He "cheated" Han Dong's daughter Han Jianu into writing this book together.
As a result, Wen Muye took notice, and this guy teamed up with Han Jianu to pry the movie away from Cheng Yu'an.
"With Director Han here, why are you unsure about this movie?" Cheng Yu'an sat down and said to Wen Muye.
Han Jia Nu and Xu Shan are also competing.
The film has been approved and the actors have been cast, but it is progressing very slowly.
Wen Muye specializes in realism themes and forms a remote duo with Xin Yukun, with the latter focusing on crime suspense.
Wen Muye said: "We always felt that there was something wrong with this script. The more we researched and investigated, the more we felt that it couldn't be written like this."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu'an wanted to hear their thoughts.
Han Ga Nyeo took over: "I don't think the entire blame should be placed on the pharmaceutical company.
"But if you don't establish a villain, there won't be enough dramatic conflict."
Cheng Yu'an thought for a while and said, "Add a paragraph of defense from the representative of the pharmaceutical company."
In order to develop Gleevec, Novartis spent 13 years and spent more than 5 billion US dollars. In these 13 years, Novartis invested 83.6 billion US dollars in the development of new drugs, of which only 21 drugs were approved for marketing.
, and not all of these 21 new drugs are best-selling.
Therefore, pharmaceutical companies must recoup their R&D costs on best-selling drugs.
There's no problem with that.
Recovering costs is not enough, pharmaceutical companies must make some money so that they can invest in the next round of new drug development.
There's no problem with that.
"We added it." Han Jianu added this paragraph to the final draft of the script, but she still felt it was not enough, so she came to Cheng Yu'an.
Cheng Yu'an pondered for a while: "Just shoot like this, it won't be good to dig deeper."
If we dig deeper, it will involve the entire pharmaceutical distribution system, which cannot pass the review.
Although Cheng Yu'an has a bit of face in front of his leaders, he can report sensitive topics that others cannot, such as "Walking with the Gods."
But there are some subjects that even Cheng Yu'an can't handle.
In fact, in the first draft of the script by Cheng Yu'an and Han Jianu, the two wrote it completely according to "Dallas Buyers Club". Lu Yong himself is a patient, and he saves others after saving himself.
But this draft of the script was rejected directly by Director Han.
"If you write like this, you will never pass the review, and my words will be useless."
In the first draft of the script, Cheng Yu'an and Han Jianu pointed the problem at the system, and Lu Yong's image was so sympathetic.
In the end, Lu Yong had to be changed into a healthy person. His original purpose of smuggling was not to save people, but to make money.
In this way, the philistine Lu Yong is not so great and upright, and he is not so heroic.
The helpless compromise of "The God of Medicine" made everyone feel a little depressed.
However, Cheng Yu'an also encouraged everyone: "It's actually a good change to make this change. Take your time. We are just making this movie as an introduction to draw the audience's attention to this aspect. It is also a meritorious thing."
The first thing you have to learn when working on realistic themes in China is compromise.
Otherwise, the scene in "Partners in China" where Su Mei is pushed outdoors by Yang Diaosi would not have been required to be deleted.
After talking about "The God of Medicine", Cheng Yu'an asked: "What has Huang Bo been doing recently? I haven't seen anyone else for a long time."
"I'm working on his "Monopoly" movie, which will start shooting in a few months."
"Still using Zhang Yixing?"
"Well, he said this young man has potential."
"Get it," Cheng Yu'an still didn't know Huang Bo's thoughts, "He just wants to do his own project without us."
Huang Bo's "Monopoly" only received a small portion of Yuan Yuan's investment as a co-producer.
It’s hard to see this remotely and not cram people into the movie anymore.
Xu Shanzheng said: "I invited him to play Huang Mao in "The God of Medicine", but he refused."
"It's okay, let him do it by himself." Everyone's feelings will not be affected by a movie.
It was already midnight, and everyone sat down soon after eating a little something and then dispersed.
…………
The quality of "Northwest 2" cannot be said to be very good. For example, the jokes in the film are a bit cliche, and some of the plots are a bit deliberate and bloody.
But this does not affect the fact that "Northwest 2" suppressed "The Ferryman" and "Railway Tiger" that were released at the same time on the first day.
The gimmick of "Liu Yifei's postpartum comeback" works very well.
The first report was 87.15 million, and the latter two, one was just over 70 million, and the other was a little over 40 million.
The one that gets talked about is "Railway Tiger", Jackie Chan really dares to take risks.
He was not in the starring list, not during the promotion period, and not at the premiere.
But when the audience walked into the cinema, they were "surprised" to find the Dragon Prince on the screen.
And he has a lot of roles, so he can be called the second male lead.
This is testing a comeback.
However, the quality of the film was not recognized by the audience.
To be precise, among the three films in the Christmas season, only "Northwest 2" can generally satisfy the audience.
Audiences commented that "Railway Tigers" "insults the IQ" and "leaving aside the deception, the film itself is not up to standard", and said that "The Ferryman" is "selling sheep's head instead of selling dog meat" and "the plot will not be discussed because it is not a movie."
Of course, "Northwest 2" is not all well-received, and there are also some who don't buy it.
"Liu Yifei's funny look is so funny."
"Fans love the movie. In the film, Liu Yifei shows off her quirkiness and cuteness to her fans."
"The degree of completion is very high, but Xue Xiaolu is still not suitable for filming couples and family life. The baggage and jokes are not polished well, and it feels a bit hard to scratch the audience's armpits."
However, in the first three days of the weekend, "Northwest 2" still topped the Christmas season with a score of 350 million.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other two movies triggered collective condemnation from netizens, with large-scale negative reviews appearing on Douban, Maoyan and other platforms.
Because of the Dragon Prince, Jackie Chan knew that he was in the wrong, so he chose to swallow the bad reviews of "Railway Tiger" by netizens.
But the crew of "The Ferryman" didn't have such a good temper, and Ali Pictures, the company behind them, chose to fight back.
Directly sue Douban platform!
Said Douban "maliciously harms the film industry."
This flag is a bit too big. How can giving you a negative review of a film become "hurting the film industry"?
"Northwest 2" opened with a score of 7.8 in its first weekend!
This is not over yet. In response to the negative comments from netizens, "The Ferryman" producer and producer Wang Sunglasses chose to speak out. He wrote a paragraph on Weibo:
"In fact, the world is so big, not only the north and the south. To pursue perfection is to be complacent. In your eyes, this is just a movie, but to me, it is a world. As the saying goes, progress can only be made if there are shortcomings. Ferry people, ferry people across.
- I like it. Merry Christmas."
Later, Tony Leung and other main creators reposted "I like it", which immediately triggered a sensational repost in the entertainment industry.
This can be considered a grouping of celebrities to attack the audience.
The implication is, as long as I like it, if you (the audience) don't like it, who cares?
Cheng Yu'an didn't want to cause trouble. He acknowledged Wang Sunjing's sensitivity and talent for the lens and light and shadow, but he didn't like the way Wang Sunjing made the film. To put it mildly, he was responsible for the film, but the filming of a movie was never the director's business alone.
Wang Sunjing’s filming method is extremely irresponsible to the actors and investors!
But this time, Cheng Yu'an couldn't accept the stars' grouping together to attack the audience.
Cheng Yu'an has always said that you don't have to care about the audience's reaction. It doesn't matter whether the audience's evaluation is good or bad. This is OK. But you can't disrespect the audience, let alone provoke the audience.
Wang Sunjing posted on Weibo at around one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Throughout the afternoon, celebrities of all sizes on Weibo were retweeting "I like it". Cheng Yu'an took a break from a meeting in the evening and logged on to Weibo and wrote four words:
Chapter completed!
