Chen Lin didn't say much. In fact, there were already rumors in the industry - after all, it was being screened at the Berlin Film Festival, which could be regarded as bringing glory to the country. But as soon as the Berlin Film Festival ended, the film was
It was banned directly.
At the same time, the director was also ordered not to make any more movies for three years.
These two incidents caused an uproar in China in February. As for the final issue of "The Big Courtyard" - Yan Jingdan has already trusted the relationship, but it is said that major changes will be made and the director's three-year ban on filming will be over.
, let’s wait until it passes the review.
However, Yan Jingdan did not just shoot this movie for the sake of being released in China - it is basically a subject that cannot sell well.
In fact, this is not only the first time that Yan Jingdan has filmed a film with similar themes. Among the Mesozoic actors, there are many actors who have not been able to pass the censorship and release of the film after filming, and have even been banned. Even Wei Fei has one of the most banned films.
There are also four or five parts.
At that time, the subject matter of the movie was really blooming, but due to censorship, most of them were shot, and they may not be able to pass the censorship. There was also Dai Chengbi among the directors - unlike now...
Of course, there have been some filming in the past few years that have not passed the review. As for Xia Yu, that's why Tao Tang has been clinging to the script and repeatedly made strict demands. In addition to screening the quality of the script, he also has to self-review.
, this script is filmed, the question is whether it can pass the review.
There are too many to say, but Yan Jingdan cannot be considered regretful, after all, she finally has a film that was shortlisted for the three major international competitions.
The loss is definitely a loss, a loss of one salary, but at this point, is Yan Jingdan still short of money? Not too short.
Chen Lin is very positive about Yan Jingdan's performance.
This is his separate evaluation: "Teacher Yan Jingdan, Yan's performance this time is more comfortable. Although she was not nominated, in my heart, she should be included in the list of the five best actresses nominated!"
Because Xia Yu and Chen Lin have promoted "beautiful accidents" many times in the past few years, Chinese movie fans have paid more attention to awards and the quality of movies. This time at the Berlin Film Festival, more viewers tuned in. Yu Junhao's failure
Undoubtedly regrettable!
Some international students in Berlin, working people, and Chinese immigrants to Europe all watched the movie and expressed their regrets.
[Breaking news for Yu Junhao's performance in "The Heroes of China" - Zhao Song, it's so admirable!]
[The fighting scenes give me the impression that they are all real swords and guns. It is said that one of the most professional martial arts teams in China was hired - I suggest that everyone must watch this movie when it is released in China. This may be the last Chinese martial arts movie.
peak!】
[The storyline is told in two lines, and the styling is almost restored—a movie worthy of being described as a classic!]
In addition, at the end of February, the movie "Broken Love" directed by Dai Chengbi and Xie Guanhui and starring Hu Chang and Fu Yijun was officially completed.
It only took three months, which is considered a relatively normal shooting cycle and a relatively smooth shooting process - the rest is editing.
At the same time, after several twists and turns, the recording of several MVs for Brian's album was finally completed.
The entire album also passed the review, and this time, although Xia Yu said that he would not attend Brian's album promotion activities in the next month, Zhuang Ling had to go - as the company's manager director, this area
It still has to be executed by hand.
Fortunately, Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company has reached a "close business cooperation" with Mindelli Pictures, and the release and promotion of Brian's album can be done through Mindelli Pictures' channels.
Although Mindli Pictures is not a record company, as a Hollywood business giant and a huge film and television business empire, how could it not have one or two small and medium-sized record companies that it has acquired or relied on?
Amanda, the current top leader of Mindli Pictures, is an old friend of one of the directors of a certain department of Universal Music.
When talking about this relationship, Zhuang Ling also communicated with Amanda in mid-January. Amanda even personally brought the music department director to the bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company, and for "Brian Zhou" this
This album received an A+ rating!
This is also one of the reasons why the "Brian Weeks" album was delayed during the filming of the music video in January - in one part, one or two music videos were re-shot at the suggestion of the music director brought by Amanda.
Remake the MV.
After several rounds of meetings between the music director of Mindli Films, Zhuang Ling and Brian.
The album "Bryan Weeks" will be promoted for one month with the first single, then the entire album will be released one month later, and then the second, third, and fourth singles in the album will be promoted one after another.
These singles and albums will be first put on several online music payment platforms (digital albums) led by iTunes according to the arranged time, followed by music radio stations with a total number of 1,000, as well as streaming media.
Wait until the first single is confirmed to be a hit or reaches a certain standard, then release the entire album - and compete for physical sales.
This process may take three to six months as long as one or two months.
If Brian had confidence in Xia Yu's music before, now he has confidence in the bankrupt sisters - channel resources!
In this half-year promotion, not only the radio stations, but also Mindli Films helped him sign up for three music competitions through connections, just like when he debuted - let him compete in person.

As for the first single to be released, it has already been decided, it is not "Bad Day", but "Free loop".
After Zhuang Ling returned to Los Angeles on the 13th, he quickly contacted Amanda, the director of Universal Music, and obtained approval - of course, although Universal Music agreed to help, it also signed a contract. This album is a physical,
They want to account for the majority of radio station sales.
This is understandable. Musical talent, music, and lyrics are all very important, but without a good platform, it will be difficult to sell it—especially if it is a cross-company collaboration that is not produced by Universal Music itself, so they have to bear greater risks.
.
And by helping Mindeli Pictures, the bankrupt sisters would inevitably harm the rights and interests of their own company's musicians by using channels.
Xia Yu didn't care about the specific contracts with Universal Music, major music stations, and digital online music payment platforms, or the sharing of copyright income, and completely left the decision-making power to Zhuang Ling. This is what Zhuang Ling is good at.
of, not her.
Brian has been working on it for eight years, and this album has been perfected for more than four months. Finally, on March 1st, the single "Free loop" was officially released on all major digital music network payment platforms and major music radio stations!
