Of course this is too optimistic, but what the boss says is imperial edict, and whatever he says will be done.
Each film and television company has its own filming style, which is often related to the tone set by the founder. Later, it will slowly explore other types of films according to the development of the market. Once it encounters failure, it will retract its tentacles and continue to deepen its own work area.
.
For example, Huayi's New Year's film was deeply tied to Feng Dapao; Bernard Pictures' good areas are cooperation with Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers, such as "October Siege", "The Overheard" series, and "Macau" series
, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"... many times the audience even thought it was a Hong Kong company.
Why are these two mentioned? Because Huayi was the first private film and television company to be listed on the A-share market, and Bernard brought the first name to Nasdaq. Their respective paths were led by Fang Yi
Damn it, Huayi's "Detective Dee" series collapsed halfway, Bernard was even worse. The above-mentioned Hong Kong films are all typical examples of not making big money. In this market, not expanding fast enough means retreating.
And it seems that Bernard's luck is about to be taken away by Fang Yi - the "industry elite" who previously said that he paid attention to Golden Shield Film and Television is Bernard Pictures. The company finally realized that Hong Kong films were not a hit, and was determined to make domestic blockbusters with the main theme.
, switch to another thigh hug.
The shortcoming of Bernard's company is that after discovering a series that makes money, it doesn't care about aesthetic fatigue, and can't wait to make this series into a mess. If there is no profitable series, it will just save a lot of money and invest a few times, such as these
acting agencies, advertising companies, multiplex theaters and overseas distribution companies. By the way, they also invested in Fan Meiren's studio.
They all lag behind one version of understanding, and even have bad luck. It’s not surprising that their stocks have fallen.
The main line after the Republican era is to maintain a considerable output of small and medium-cost films, while producing one or two theme films every year, and to create a series of feature films of its own.
Then, we still have to go back to "The Wandering Earth".
Fang Yi came to the Huairou Film and Television Base again to prepare for the subsequent visit of leaders. This old comrade who likes science fiction once worked in the propaganda system, and he also likes science fiction and special effects. Perhaps he came to the Republic Era not only to express his attitude, but also because of his
Personal emotions. The main receptionists that day were Fang Yi and Guo Fan. The new head of China Film Group, the former Secretary Jiao, would also be present.
Speaking of Secretary Jiao, Guo Fan opened his mouth and asked his predecessor from China Film and Television, "What is Mr. Han doing?"
"Be a consultant in our company." Fang Yi said.
Guo Fan recalled, "I know this, but why have I never seen him? I mean, what is he really doing?"
Fang Yi spread his hands and said, "Consultant, I told you already, consultant. When you have no problems, you don't need him. He keeps a low profile. Maybe he is walking birds and raising fish at home, but he is high-profile when he comes out. Isn't it annoying?"
Guo Fan shook his head: "When there is any problem, there is no need for him! Look at the war movie "I Come from the Future", in fact, we basically solved it."
"The main reason is that the problems we encountered were too big, and," Fang Yi sighed, but did not miss it, "Han Sanping's movie era has passed."
He turned to care about the studio, "War movies also involve Han Sanping. "The Wandering Earth" may be the first super blockbuster in the post-Han Sanping era. It must have a good start. Do you feel any pressure?"
Guo Fan wiped away the non-existent sweat: "It is indeed much harder than I thought, but I have already come here and there is no way to turn back. I have to explain to everyone."
What he is talking about is the experts from all walks of life who gathered because of this film. Guo Fan relied on the name of "domestic science fiction blockbuster" to deceive many people into working hard at extremely low wages, and even offered friendly help. If he had
If he messed up this matter, or gave up the burden in the middle, you can imagine how bad the reputation would be, and Fang Yi wouldn't be able to lead him.
The two of them strolled around the set, rehearsing in advance according to the reception order scheduled for tomorrow, and greeting people they met from time to time. In fact, just a week ago, there were many plainclothes people on the set, and you could see it if you paid a little attention, but everyone just
As if it does not exist.
"Maybe in the future we can get a stable version number every year, and it will be 001,002..." Fang Yi joked.
This means that in the future, blockbusters from the Republic Era will be registered in advance at Zongju, and will be sent for expedited review as soon as they are shot, and then given first and second marks. The Republic Era is equivalent to becoming a de facto VIP, with an exception.
"I hope so." Guo Fan replied, and a few seconds later he said in an expectant tone, "What Boss Fang said is not false. If you say more beautiful words, I think they can become true."
——————
The reception work finally started, and the entire process was recorded by the program team, but these records may not be broadcast. Sometimes when the boss becomes interested, he will pull Fang Yi in to ask in detail, so the security personnel will separate the program team to avoid too many "
Not one's own person.
An old comrade whose surname was Li, who had worked in the propaganda system for a long time, said he came here for a casual look and had an impromptu idea. Fang Yi and others nodded in agreement.
I watched the wonderful clip of "I Come from the Future" first. The dramatist made a war scene of more than one minute, describing the battle of Changjin Lake that surrounded the US military but failed to annihilate all the enemies and made people run away with their equipment. It was very short.
, there are some big scenes, such as the volunteer soldiers charging in accordance with the three-by-three system, advancing layer by layer over the mountains and plains towards the center, the U.S. military running away with their belongings, and the propellers of heavy-duty helicopters can see the flashing gunfire in the night sky. That is
The divided fronts.
This is not surprising. The Bayi Film Studio has filmed it on a much larger scale than this. Then Fang Yi introduced that less than a hundred people were used in total, and it was filmed in this studio. The old comrade finally turned around in surprise and asked
He said, "Is it just this place? How did you make it?"
"We use computer technology to create special effects. One hundred people can turn into ten thousand people, and the audience can't tell." Fang Yi said concisely and to the point.
The old comrade then asked to see the details of the base production. He had already prepared for this. Guo Fan called up the technical video that was halfway rendered. He found that the old comrade could watch it, so he described the whole process as simply as possible.
Fang Yi and others have prepared a lot of plans. If the old comrades feel that it is too hardcore and they are not interested in watching it, they have a behind-the-scenes documentary of the time; if the old comrades want to watch the condolences to foreign engineers, there are Canadian experts who have Chinese wives in Beijing for a long time.
If the old comrades want to touch the props at that time and check their quality, they did keep a batch of them and they are all on site now.
"Is it your own technology?" asked the old comrade.
"It's our own technology." Fang Yi omitted the process of absorption and re-development, while Guo Fan was observing words and emotions, always ready to tell how Boss Fang, as a lonely and pitiful young filmmaker, had a keen eye for pearls and relied on his small capital over the years.
Save this piece of "our technology" for the domestic special effects industry.
