"Chinese movies are in the stage of bottoming out. Cultivating the audience's consumption awareness and bringing the audience back to the cinema is the top priority. The method is simple and crude, that is, big stars, big directors, and big productions. This is obviously the reason why China Film Group is pursuing a blockbuster strategy.
Stars are the most direct attraction. Since you have already filmed "The Promise" and "Red Cliff", why can't the same method be used on the main theme?"
In the tavern, Yao Yuan picked up a chopstick to fry shredded eel and took a sip of rice wine.
The taste always feels weird, and few northerners can get used to it. Even if I choose between Jiang Xiaobai and rice wine, Jiang Xiaobai has a clear advantage.
"In the past, when making a main theme, the first thing to do was to have a similar appearance and use special actors. At that time, the purchase and sale of the movie was centralized, and the box office had nothing to do with the studio. Now the mainland market is rising steadily. Since the boss has chosen it, the meaning is obvious. The gift film must have a good reputation.
A double bumper harvest at the box office.
Then you can’t just use special actors, you have to be stars!”
"for example?"
"For example, let Feng Xiaogang play Du Yuesheng, let Chen Kun play Xiao Jiang, let Xu Qing play Mr. Qingling, let Chen Kaige play Feng Yuxiang, let Jiang Wen play Mao Renfeng, do you think you have any plans?"
Hiss!
Han Sanping took a mouthful of fennel beans. His first reaction was that it was nonsense, but he soon came back to his senses.
Why is this arranged?
If it's all about gimmicks and attention! If you really want to get dozens or hundreds of popular stars to shoot a tribute film, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc. are all doing small roles, and you'll win half the battle at the beginning.
"I understand what this means. If this is the case, the content must be very thick and have the capacity to carry..."
Han Sanping's heart moved and he thought of a plan. He looked at Yao Yuan, who smiled and said: "It should not only be thick, but also majestic. It is best to consider continuity and make a series."
"series?"
"Three steps: founding the country, building the party, and building the army!"
"Then the first part is naturally..."
""The Founding of the People's Republic of China"!"
Yao Yuan spit out the name casually, without any pretense, and told the other party his thoughts directly.
His main business is not entertainment, but now he is filming according to orders. He doesn't want to involve too much energy, so he can make the plans himself and China Film Group can handle it.
It can be said that before "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", it can be called the era of the old theme, and the tradition was glorious and upright.
The trilogy "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is considered a transitional stage. Although the box office is good, it has not been fully delivered to the market. There are still a large number of government agencies and units booking the theaters.
When did the main theme of the new era begin?
"Operation Mekong"!
Then it reached its peak with "Wolf Warrior 2", and then there were "Operation Red Sea", "Captain of China", "My Motherland and Me" and so on. There are many, but only a few excellent ones.
It's just like Hong Kong movies following the trend back then. In just a few years, they killed a genre of movies and made the audience extremely bored.
Han Sanping got a valuable idea. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. He felt happy, raised his small wine cup and said, "Mr. Yao is indeed worthy of his reputation. I have learned a lesson!"
"I don't dare, I'm just talking. Only you can support such a large-scale work."
"Hey, this time it's cooperation, everyone works together!"
The three of them had a drink.
Yao Yuan didn't take this matter too seriously, but the task was important and he had to put on a show. After all, the boss was watching over him. A work suddenly got the attention of a big boss. Whether it was good or bad, only Youzu probably knew.
In 2015, Youzu was planning to shoot the "Three-Body" movie with a strong lineup, including Zhang Jingchu, Feng Shaofeng, Wu Gang, Tang Yan, etc.
The book fans were very excited, and there happened to be two big leaders who were also fans of "The Three-Body Problem". After hearing the news, they rushed over to take a sneak peek, but left before finishing the book.
Since then, the film has been suppressed and has not been dared to be released until now.
This is a very famous rumor. Let me make it clear: It is not a rumor! It is not a rumor!
The plot of the film is roughly this:
"Ye Wenjie contacted the Trisolarans through the Hong'an Base and invited a Trisolaran to come to Earth as a guest. The Trisolaran has a transparent mind and cannot lie. He made a lot of jokes and then fell in love with Ye Wenjie.
Evans is the big villain. Anyway, after various twists and turns, the Trisolarans killed Evans and lived happily together with Ye Wenjie..."
In one word: a piece of shit!
…………
After Han Sanping got the idea, he immediately started implementing it and found the screenwriter Wang Xingdong.
Wang Xingdong is a veteran main melody screenwriter. He has written a series of works that do not show only asterisks, such as "The Days Leaving Lei Feng".
Then I made a detailed estimate of the scale of the film. The more I estimated, the more frightened and excited I became.
With such a large scale, neither China Film nor 99 can handle it. Han Sanping is planning to bring together leading forces in the industry such as Movie Channel, Shanghai Film Group, Bona, Emperor, and Media Asia to build a big one.
After discussing "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", the Olympic Games were still on, and Yao Yuan had already sneaked away.
He found that he couldn't plan this kind of thing, because he could have work anytime and anywhere, and there was no way to wait for him to be free, so he immediately took Yin Yin to various places to take wedding photos.
Come back in September.
The Olympic Games have long come to an end. China has won 51 gold medals (3 gold medals were later cancelled), 21 silver medals (1 gold medal was reissued), and 28 bronze medals (2 gold medals were reissued), a total of 100 medals, the best record in history.
Especially the gold medal, which ranks first, and many unexpected events have won gold medals, such as He Wenna's trampoline.
Yao Yuan put down a lot of work and concentrated on preparing for his wedding. At the same time, he sent invitations to relatives and friends. In fact, he didn't have many acquaintances, and most of them were half-baked.
For example, the president of "Beiqing Daily" has no contact with him, but he has to give someone a ticket. Whether he comes or not is his business, and whether he sends it or not is another matter.
Sometimes sending invitations does not really require the other party to come to the wedding, but to show a friendly attitude.
There was also a hostile group. The invitation was not necessary, but Yao Yuan also sent some wedding candies. So, Lao Ma and Xiao Ma both looked constipated and received the wedding candies. Well, they were delivered by Maiwo Express.
"..."
At this moment, Xiao Ma was staring at a pack of wedding candies wrapped in a red purse on the table, with a very speechless expression.
The two families had been in a war of words for so long, and he was always on guard against the other party's counterattack. As a result, there was no movement. The biggest move was the launch of "Moore Manor" and "McMain Dance".
Could it be that this has really been revealed?
Brother Xiao Ma picked up the purse and pinched it. There was also a maple leaf card tied to the mouth of the bag, which read Xiang Hongjian, Alliance of Red Leaves, I hope everyone will bless us and so on...
Anyway, I was very surprised to receive this packet of candy.
Yao Yuan looks very much like a human being, and Xiao Ma also expressed his rare emotion and sent a text message of blessing to the other party. They are getting married. What a happy event.
…………
Yingshi Building.
Wu Jun and the head of Kiwi Studio appeared in the office at the same time.
"Previous social games were separate and only operated on Maimai, not the community. Because we have always regarded them as two audience groups, the community is more mature, and Maimai is younger.
But this game is different. This is the first time it is operated on two platforms at the same time. I believe it will become something that is suitable for all ages and will be popular all over the country.
Of course, this will take time to ferment, I won’t rush you, I’m just reminding you that this project is a key project within at least two years, so you must go all out.”
