In fact, this view is not unreasonable. First of all, Han Fei has indeed not won any significant personal awards. As an "old actor" who has been active on the big screen for many years, it is not incomprehensible that he wants to be recognized.
In addition, there is the theme "I am not the god of medicine". Leukemia, of course, cannot be a happy theme. It is nothing more than a sad drama. There is no worst, only worse.
Of course, Han Fei doesn't believe the popularity of this theory without other colleagues behind it, but he doesn't have the energy to take care of these online messages now. The company's publicity department will naturally deal with it.
Han Fei's biggest problem at the moment is that he hasn't fully understood the character of Lu Yiyi. How should I put it? He always unconsciously recalls the original performance in his mind. For an actor who is keen on method, he has not put himself into the role. When it comes to characters, it is undoubtedly a failure.
At the beginning, Han Fei could keep up with Shen Yiming in a certain plot, but the filming of the crew was not as gradual as the movie plot, but in leaps and bounds, such as the hospital scene. In order to reduce the cost of transitions, They always finished filming the hospital scenes first.
However, in the hospital, the character Lu Yiyi has three completely different states. At the beginning of the film, Lu Yiyi was in a good mental state. During the examination, he could even talk to the doctor: "Please don't mess with me. I That’s pretty good.”
Later, when Lu Yiyi had medicine and money to treat his illness, he was in another active state when he went to the hospital, a bit like: Look, I am fine, as good as a normal person.
In the end, he was terminally ill and had no money to treat his illness. It was his tragic situation that made the protagonist Cheng Yong decide to give up everything he had and complete his self-salvation.
Taking advantage of the crew's break, Han Fei moved a small pony, opened his notes and began to look for inspiration. This scene was when he was lying on the hospital bed and saw Cheng Yong again after becoming terminally ill.
Han Fei had already done it eight times and still couldn't find the feeling. How should I put it, the expression, tone, and body movements of the original version were almost the same, but he couldn't find the feeling of the patient.
For actors, acting is to express the character from the inside out in the camera. If it is just imitation, the character will be tangible and intangible. Without that kind of appeal, how can it arouse the emotions of the audience?
The so-called drama is that in a certain scene, the actor should give the audience the emotion, but fails to do so or does not give it in place.
"Right, that's it." Han Fei suddenly slapped his forehead, and he finally knew why he couldn't fully assume the role of Lu Yiyi.
Judging from his notes, patients will have a very strange psychological state after suffering from some difficult-to-treat diseases, especially people like Lu Yiyi whose family conditions are not good. They will feel that they are dragging down their families. , that kind of shame and self-blame is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The moment Lu Youyi met Cheng Yong, he felt like he was seeing an old friend, but he was ashamed of his current miserable situation. Of course, there was also a hint of complaint. If Cheng Yong hadn't sold the drug channels to counterfeit drug dealers, he would have He would not end up in this situation, so Lu Youyi showed such a complicated expression when he was lying on the hospital bed.
The moment he figured it out, Han Fei suddenly felt like a hut suddenly opened up, and all the fog that had previously obscured his eyes disappeared.
When filming resumed, Cheng Yong, played by Shen Yiming, came to the hospital ward and turned his back to the camera. He seemed stunned for a second. Through the lens of another camera, Jiang Qinghou understood why he was stunned.
At this time, Han Fei's expression was extremely complicated, with a hint of joy, a hint of shame, and at the same time some resentment. The several emotions were intertwined. The sickly makeup on his face made him look particularly thin.
"Are you here? Sit down."
Just one line made Shen Yiming stand in admiration. That weak voice with a hint of excitement seemed to tell the audience that seeing Cheng Yong was like seeing hope.
The next scene was Cheng Yong sitting in the corridor of the hospital. A long strip of sunlight came out from the crack in the door. Cheng Yong just sat there blankly, and Lu Yiyi's weak screams could be heard in his ears.
"Ka! Perfect!" Jiang Qinghou took the lead in applauding. Both Han Fei and Shen Yiming can be said to be perfect in this performance. This scene lasts for several minutes, but there are very few lines and even the body parts. There are also very few movements, which requires the actors to accurately convey their emotions to the audience through their expressions and eyes, which is quite difficult.
The filming process of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was relatively smooth. After Han Fei figured it out, he became completely enlightened, and some of the other actors are also experienced actors, so they rarely get stuck.
However, for these veteran actors, filming in this crew has a completely different feeling. What surprised them the most was the professionalism of the crew.
All executive directors and on-set managers know very well what kind of scenes they will be shooting on that day and what preparations they should make. Shooting officially starts at 8:30 every morning, and the staff starts setting the scene at 7:30 in advance. Everyone is in good order. Yes, this was the first time they had seen such a quality crew.
After filming for so many years, they are very aware of the current situation in the Chinese film industry. Most of the crew are improvised. This group of people has no quality or professionalism at all. They are just a bunch of grass-stage crews.
Film and television companies with some strength will hire professionals, but most of these so-called professionals are just hanging around.
Some big directors will train their own teams, but only for high-end talents such as photographers and artists. This is really the first time they have seen that everyone on the crew can maintain such high quality.
Moreover, when the veteran actors and actresses chatted with the executive director and set managers of the crew, they discovered that these people are actually quite qualified to be producers or something like that, so why do they have to stay here and do these chores?
"Hey, any producer, that's all fake. Don't look at us doing odd jobs here, but we, Mr. Han, have been given a lot. Don't look at the directors outside who are coaxing each other. Producers, that's all risky. If you take other people's money, you have to do things for them, right? I'm so tired and panicked, how good can we be like this? Just take the money with confidence and save some money in the next year. Home It’s still possible to get a suite.”
Seeing that they didn't look like they were lying, the veteran actors couldn't help but secretly smacked their lips. It seemed that they really earned as much as they did.
In fact, they didn't know that if Han Fei's group of people resigned, the film and television companies in the industry would rush to get them, and some film and television companies would even pay huge sums to poach them, but very few would leave. Resignations are generally due to family reasons.
Time passed quietly like this. At the end of November, a new round of Lunar New Year movies has begun. There are many masterpieces in this Lunar New Year movie. A total of five films have a box office of over 100 million on the first day, including Xingyi Media's
The box office of the new film "Age of the Dinosaurs" exceeded 250 million on its first day.
Speaking of the past few years, Xingyi Media has been committed to large-scale productions since it tasted the sweetness of science fiction films, and the results of each film are pretty good. It can basically make a small profit domestically, and even if it is bad, it can still maintain its capital.
The market is all about making money.
Since "The Wandering Earth" and "Hero" became popular in the overseas film market, many foreign film distributors have also begun to target Chinese films. Xingyi Media was the first to take the cake after Han Fei.
What's more interesting is that the reason why there are so many blockbusters in the Lunar New Year festival is because of a piece of news. Not long ago, a tabloid reported that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be completed in the near future.
Immediately, the entire film and television industry exploded. I originally thought it was fake news, but a week later, "Feiniao Film and Television" actually released the news that "I am not the God of Medicine" was officially completed.
Suddenly, some films that were originally planned to be released on New Year's Day were put forward. Although there was a fierce quarrel on the Internet, many netizens said that Han Fei's film was aimed at winning awards, but no one was willing to go head-to-head with this guy.
, I can’t afford to offend you, I can always afford to hide, right?
However, some films that have not yet been completed, or are in post-production in preparation for release on New Year's Day or Spring Festival, are in dire straits. They will have to wait for another half a year to be withdrawn. If they are not withdrawn, it means that they are likely to run into Han Fei.
There is a dilemma for a while, and Han Fei is also rushing to the post-production period. It is best to release it during the New Year's Day. After all, it is during the Spring Festival. If a theme like "I am not the God of Medicine" is released during the Spring Festival, it will definitely have a certain impact on the box office.
However, just when everyone was working hard to prepare for the release, bad news suddenly came. The "coronavirus" broke out and the entire entertainment industry was shut down.
For a time, all entertainment companies were in a quagmire. The company's business was stagnant, but all expenses had to be paid. Many crews even announced their disbandment on the same day that all members were quarantined, and the filming was stopped. I can't afford to play, so I won't play anymore.
.
"Bird Films" is no exception. All those who have recently returned to Beijing must be quarantined in hotels. In fact, at this time, the post-production of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been completed. However, it is of no use. All cinemas are closed, so naturally there will be no
It may be released.
Initially, everyone thought it would only be a matter of a few months at most, but soon everyone discovered that this might be something more terrifying than the withdrawal of hot money and the cold winter of the film and television industry.
The outbreak of the "COVID-19" has devastated the entire industry chain from upstream to downstream in the film and television industry. Almost all practitioners in the film and television industry have begun to complain and express their bitterness in their circle of friends.
Many film and television companies are also wailing. Large film and television companies have begun to lay off employees crazily. Some layoffs have even reached more than 40%. Some small companies have directly exploded on the spot and announced their dissolution. As for severance pay? Sorry, the company has gone bankrupt.
, who do you ask for severance pay?
The market value of film and television companies has also begun to evaporate in large areas, and some companies have even dropped to the limit for a month in a row, which is terrible to watch.
However, in the midst of this tragedy, some employees of "Feiniao Film and Television" posted on WeChat Moments that all of them were quarantined in a five-star hotel, and all food and lodging were borne by the company, and wages were paid as usual, and even,
Boss Han Fei has already said that this year's year-end bonus will be paid out on time.
This is so... so irritating! Why? They all work the same way, so why can their boss be so good?
Many friends in the industry started to like these showoff guys in their circle of friends and expressed their opinions at the same time.
"I'm sorry, will Feiniao Films still recruit people next year?"
How do you describe this feeling? It’s like many programmers usually have a good company in 996 and don’t think there’s anything bad about it. However, when the epidemic came, they quickly discovered the benefits of the system.
The benefits of "Feiniao Film and Television" are no worse than those in the system, or even better. They are all working part-time, so why not choose a company that treats employees better?
Does "Bird Pictures" have any plans to expand in the coming year? Of course it does, as Buffett once said: I am greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy.
It is conceivable that the entertainment industry will definitely experience a huge reshuffle in the coming year. Some companies with no strength and shoddy manufacturing will be completely eliminated from the market. In addition, many unprofessional practitioners will also leave the industry. In fact, from a general perspective
, which is beneficial to the entire film and television industry.
If you want to expand, you naturally need talents. Han Fei's trick of buying bones for a thousand dollars was very effective. Soon many outstanding talents in the industry passed the online interview. As long as the epidemic is over, they can go to "Feiniao Film and Television"
Come to work.
This is much cheaper than overwhelming advertising or hiring headhunters. The most important thing is that with the current situation in the industry, even if Han Fei blatantly recruits people, it will not cause resentment from other companies, but will be grateful.
Han Fei helped them save a sum of severance pay.
"Hey, Mr. Han, the plan for acquiring theater chains you requested has been sent to your email. Do you have any other instructions?" Li Yanan's voice was a little excited. In fact, she had already made the plan for acquiring theater chains early on, but
Previously, the Chinese film market was so hot that if you wanted to acquire it, you would have to pay a premium, which would be very costly.
However, this epidemic has caused the entire industry to suffer a devastating disaster, and cinema chains are naturally the first to bear the brunt, because cinema chains are heavy assets, with employee salaries and store rents all having to be spent every month.
"Then Mr. Han will tell you that you must pay attention to your health and take care of yourself, you know?" Han Fei said with a smile.
Li Yanan hung up the phone and placed the phone on his chest, slightly warm.
"Finally we've come this far!" Han Fei opened the curtains. The capital city in winter was in a state of depression, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets during the epidemic.
But Han Fei was in a particularly happy mood at the moment. This was a crisis for the entire industry, but for him, who held more than 10 billion in cash, it was a rare opportunity.
For a film and television company, it is like a rootless duckweed if it does not control theater chains. Only if it controls theater chain resources can it be qualified to have a say in this industry.
