Chapter 253 Will 'Love Letter' become the memory of a generation
Popular recommendations:
""Love Letter"? It turns out to be a love movie."
In the president's office of China Film Group Corporation, Mr. San washed his face with a hot towel and roughly read through the contents.
During this period, Fang Yi took a look at the furnishings in the room - the miniature welcoming pine, the map of mountains and rivers, various certificates of honor, and the Four Treasures of the Study.
In the storage cabinet in front of the door, there is even an iron basin with a mandarin duck stamped on it for fetching water. The wall paint next to the iron basin is green.
Typical cadre style.
The third master's eyes were on Fang Yi's face. His frowning eyebrows straightened and he suddenly said:
"Does anyone have any advice for you? I thought that in your first film, you would play some perverted murderer or something like Ning Hao, just a little bit of fun - young people always want to challenge themselves and break through their image, but that's not the case with you.
.”
"No one told me, I just thought of it myself."
"However, the box office of romance films is not easy to compete with," he stretched out his finger and pointed out some films he remembered. "There have been no big hit romance films in the past ten years..."Sweet Honey", "If Love"...
These are Chen Kexin's two films, and they have won a lot of awards, but the box office may not be as good as your "Love After Life"."
He stopped at this point and said, "Fang Yi, do you want to continue making literary films? Although you can still make them at this age, you are too young after all..."
Fang Yi slowly shook his head as his heart beat.
"So, what's the selling point?"
"youth."
The Third Master contracted his stomach with difficulty and sat closer to Fang Yi, "Youth? That's really interesting. Do you want to have a big competition? Or do you want educated youth to go to the countryside and resume the college entrance examination? Please tell me in detail."
"Movies are a reflection of the times. In the past ten years, the biggest reality in China has been rapid urbanization and the impact it has had on traditional values: including feelings, local plots, friendships, and parent-child relationships."
"Loss, regret, nostalgia...many words merged into the word youth. I think it has formed the collective memory of a generation. The first batch of people born in the 1980s have started families and started businesses, and have established themselves in cities big and small. And this movie
What I want to photograph is this memory of theirs.”
"When watching it in the cinema, I think what the audience misses is not necessarily a specific person, but themselves in it... In the past, desks and chairs always had someone who was mischievous and mischievous.
It’s someone who is immersed in studying, parents who are working hard to make money, and someone whose face I can’t remember now, but who still smiles knowingly.”
The third master stood up and said: "My memories of youth are about being assigned to work and going to the countryside, and the days when I couldn't have enough to eat. It turns out that your youth was different from mine."
"For me, movies like "Tianba" are my youth, and the articles written by Yan Geling and Yu Hua are my youth - at least they represent something."
Fang Yi said with a smile: "But the youth of each generation is different. No one takes pictures of the youth of this generation, but they have the most spending power now, right?"
The two talked about the topic of "youth" for a while.
Money is not a problem, Third Master has promised before. As long as Fang Yi is not too outrageous and makes some cult films, Third Master will give him money.
We are actually talking about things other than money.
For example, when you provide suggestions for domestic genre films, Mr. San reacted, "You are brave enough to be the first in the world. If your film is successful, there will be many others who will follow suit... Everyone should remember you."
Jia Zhangke once said that once a director reaches the age of thirty, his films will forever repeat the experiences of his youth.
Therefore, Jia Zhangke's movies always take the perspective of young men in small counties. Similarly, when Feng Dapao started making love movies, the old man's talkative and witty attitude toward older girls was almost inseparable.
Guo Shi and Jiang Wen mentioned in previous seminars, "Today's audience needs to use today's directors to please us. We are behind the times. The world when we were young is very different from today."
What does this mean?
In fact, the consumer group mainly composed of those born in the 1980s
They didn't see the collective movie they really wanted to see. The era of the great directors was already a bit far away from them, and neither party reacted.
The third master finally said, "Of course you will be the male lead in your movie," he looked at Fang Yi's face and nodded heavily to emphasize, "You must be the male lead, and you must not give up the burden... As for the female lead, you must be the male lead.
Actor, if it's hard for you to find me, I'll go and intercede for you."
"I'm a little interested in your 'youth film'. If you can create a series, it will leave some traces on Chinese films... Do you have any actors you are interested in?"
"The right person is found."
"Who is it? Can you please do it? You have to be able to attract box office. Brother Xun is good. Her eyes are really beautiful. There are few actresses who can directly shoot their eyes like her... You two look so different.
Not as much as my age."
"People of this generation may also have their idols."
He became interested and asked: "Tell me your name."
"The heroine of my last movie."
The third master went through Liu Tianxian's appearance in his mind, but he couldn't understand it. He didn't think Liu Tianxian could compare with Brother Xun in this kind of film.
However, I still believed Director Fang, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com "It's up to you. If you run into trouble, come back to me."
"Xiao Jiao... you go and see Fang Yi off. You two can talk more and get to know each other more often."
Xiao Jiao is Mr. San’s secretary and is suspected to be a candidate for the next head of China Film. Mr. San has worked hard at China Film for many years and will retire in about three years. Therefore, he is already introducing contacts to Xiao Jiao.
.
Said to be Xiao Jiao, he is actually almost twenty years older than Fang Yi.
As a favored "connection", Xiao Jiao was very polite to him and took him to the business car. You could also see Secretary Jiao standing there to say goodbye.
"-Before I took the position, I was still very humble."
The person who spoke in the car was Sister Zhen. She learned that Fang Yi was here for real this time. Sister Zhen was soliciting sponsorships from all over the capital. She wanted to be like Mark to Jiang Wen: you can blow up, and I will take care of the money.
There is a section in "Let the Bullets Fly" where they blow up Mr. Huang's bunker. Originally, Jiang Wen was thinking of a black screen in the movie, coupled with the "bang" explosion sound, which made sense. There are movies in the previous movies that have not been finished yet.
, the painful experience of running out of money, Jiang Wen was still willing to compromise when spending a lot of money.
So, Mark said the above words to Jiang Wen.
But now, Sister Zhen's voice became frustrated: "You have already secured all the money. I am just a pendant. You have been thinking about making a feature film for a long time. The money will come naturally."
"Souhu took 10 million, 25%, and China Film 10 million, 30%, because of China Film's theater chain. The remaining 45%, based on the total cost of 40 million, is still almost 20 million short.
Bar."
Fang Yi: "Twenty million is enough, we don't need that much."
