Shortly after the date of moving house, Fang Yi made up his mind to put the movie "Love Letter" on the National Day schedule and premiere it on October 1st.
Fang Yi, China Film, and Souhu are three companies. It is Fang Yi who makes the decision, China Film has the right to make suggestions and channels, and Souhu invests the most money. However, Souhu’s influence in movies is too low, so it is still divided in terms of profit sharing.
Not as good as Fang Yi and China Film.
A rich man, but he still lacks some background at critical moments.
If the movie does become a reality, it will be "The three of us are so awesome!"
After this news was notified to China Film Group Corporation, the third master was puzzled by Fang Yi’s schedule:
"You want to avoid "Bongtian Empire"? Let me be blunt. It will be released on September 23rd. The movie has a luxurious lineup and a big scene. Everyone is afraid of it... But you don't have to avoid it for a week, right?
I told you that the National Day ticket sales time is not the National Day, but the week or two before."
"Don't think there are so many people on National Day. People come out to enjoy the scenery, not to watch movies in the cinema. You don't have this habit... Do you want the attendance rate for National Day? I have the data from last year.
I can send it to you."
Fang Yi said: "Habits are cultivated. In the past, there were no schedules, and everyone would show them randomly because there were not many movies."
small book booth
He paused.
Third Master urged him, "Say it, I'm listening."
"After China Film and Television goes public, other companies will also go public. With the influx of hot money, more and more domestic films will be made, and new schedules will definitely be developed. The film "Love Letter" was just a year or two early to explore the road."
The third master seemed to listen with a different ear, "Continue..."
"From the perspective of the long-term development of the overall box office of domestic films, we must develop more schedules to accommodate more films, otherwise we will fall into ineffective involution, making our domestic films more crowded than Hollywood blockbusters in the summer season.
It’s even worse, as this year’s Lunar New Year festival proves.”
There are three movies in the Lunar New Year festival: "The Orphan of Zhao", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2", each belonging to three great directors. "China Film Report" of Channel 6 said when describing this grand occasion:
"This is certainly a carnival for movie fans, but is this a sign of the sluggish supply of Chinese films? It is precisely because there are too few domestic high-quality films that they cannot support more schedules, which in turn leads to the crowding of high-quality films.
…”
After Fang Yi said this, the other end of the phone paused for a while, and suddenly said: "In the 1990s, I was transferred to be the director of the Beijing Studio. From that time on, I got to know many young directors. I know that in the past
That set is outdated. We have to make movies that today’s people like. If we don’t change, Chinese movies will die..."
"You met Ning Hao and Lu Chuan last time, right? These two were also promoted by me. It can be said that most of the current talents have passed my eyes and have been here for a while... However, they told me
It’s all about movies, and it’s hard to hear them thinking about the market other than movies.”
Speaking of this, the third master lowered his voice, "Since you have considered it this way, I will definitely support you." His words burst out with pride, "Whether it can be expanded to a new schedule, haha, it's hard to tell based on your movie alone.
, take small steps and run quickly from you."
Fang Yi and Sanye chatted some more.
Because Ning Hao was mentioned, Fang Yi added one more sentence:
"I heard last year that his movie was going to be released. Why is there no news now?"
"If you can't pass, I won't give you the dragon mark."
"Is it too dark to shoot?"
"That's quite... How can there be a public house where all the bad guys and all the good guys die... Hey, don't talk anymore," he told Fang Yi, "It's not that we can't make movies at all, but we have to be sure.
He just can't control it."
Fang Yi: "If it is director Chen Kaige, at the level of a national master, can he be lenient?"
The third master sneered: "How can Ning Hao compare with Yimou? At his age, Yimou has already filmed "Red Sorghum"!"
hang up the phone.
For some reason, Fang Yi felt that the Third Master had something to say. He watched the entire movie "Love Letter" again.
All plot points that might deviate from the main plot were cut out, so that the length of the movie came to 110 minutes.
As this was not enough, Fang Yi asked Guo Fan to come to the editing room and let him watch the entire film.
As a result, 110 minutes really passed.
Guo Fan finished reading all the subtitles and came out of the editing room with a complicated look on his face.
Fang Yi: "Looking at it for so long?"
"The song is nice. And your ending is interesting and has a cute scene."
The subtitles of "Love Letter" are not directly black, but accompanied by the accompaniment of "Kiss the Rain", playing the family story of Teacher Li Xuejian and Fang Yi, which is equivalent to a few minutes of extras, making up for what happened to Yin Chuan in the past ten years.
Not only that, even the heroine Zhihua's ten years of life are also shown in a quick glance.
The different lives of two people are like two parallel lines that would never intersect, but God, the director, made their life lines entangled together.
When the happy ending of the movie is played, the ending shows the story of the past, which will undoubtedly make the audience full of emotions. It is not uncommon to shed tears when thinking about the people and things they have missed.
China files 7,873,745 lawsuits every year, and Yin Chuan and Zhihua happen to be the only numerators in the denominator of that astronomical number. I'm afraid this only happens in movies.
Guo Fan said: "I watched a song at the end of "Golden Armor" before, and the singing was accompanied by the rotating chrysanthemum stage. The audience sat in their seats in a daze and refused to leave... "Love Letter" seems to be more interesting..."
Guo Fan shook his head, speechless, and finally blinked, "Awesome."
"You and Ms. Liu are both beautiful, but the film they made is not what I thought it was. Maybe I am a man and I can better represent Yin Chuan. I like Yin Chuan more because Yin Chuan has Bai Yueguang to save him. I am thirty."
I’m still wasting my time. Yin Chuan is the little person in my heart. He died once and someone saved him. If I died, my death would be in vain..."
Fang Yi shook his head: "You should like girls more like this."
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, "Is this what I can say? Isn't that the boss's wife?"
Fang Yi laughed, uu read a book www.uukanshu.com "Then you'd better stop talking, be careful I put on small shoes for you."
Guo Fan felt a chill: "Copy that! Shut up!"
The final version of the film has been confirmed.
The news reached China Film and Souhu. The latter disappeared, and the former's boss, the Third Master, personally came to Fang Yi Studio to see it.
Mr. San is equally satisfied with the film: "It's the same as "Titanic". It's about love, but it's not actually love. It's really a "youth movie". It covers everything and has a good grasp of the situation."
He said: "Promotion needs to be kept up. It's a youth film and it's a National Day release. We can't get off to a bad start. You have to work harder next, and so does the female star. She has to live a hard life, so don't complain... China Film Group will fully cooperate with you.
"
Fang Yi and Sister Zhen discussed the announcement and found that the original investment was not enough.
The investment in "Love Letter" was about 20 million yuan. Fang Yi, the male lead and director, was paid zero for the film. After discounting, the total investment was 40 million yuan. Five or six million yuan of product placement was scattered here and there. I originally thought that
This money can be used for publicity.
However, it seems that this money is not enough at present.
Fang Yi first went to China Film Academy, but the heroic Third Master cried out to him: "The landlord's family has no food left."
"Aren't you fully cooperating?"
"Except for money, all cooperation. Fang Yi, Ning Hao and Lu Chuan have never asked me for so much for their films. It would be difficult for me to give you multiple times..."
Fang Yi had to find his cash machine: Zhang Chaoyang.
The withdrawal password is "I was entrusted with a dream. The box office of the movie was extremely good. In the dream, I saw golden lights all around."
Zhang Chaoyang's pores, which were big enough to plant rice seedlings, gushed out with joy, swirling like water seeping in. He waved his hand: You can take it.
