The movie Li Yi remembered was "Happy Family". This movie can be said to be really interesting.
Because this is a very special movie, some fans once commented that this is a movie that will make you laugh and cry.
He also said that this is a healing horror film.
There is also a line from "Westward Journey" to evaluate this movie: "I guessed the beginning of the story, but I couldn't guess the end of the story!"
Li Yi still likes this story very much.
After hearing this story, Mu Qing's eyes turned red.
Women have always been more emotional than men.
"This reversal is so..." Mu Qing said with emotion as she wiped the corners of her eyes.
Now that he had an idea, Li Yi was not in a hurry.
"Happy Family" is much simpler than Li Yi's previous films, "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Chinese Ghost Story."
Time passed day by day, but Li Yi was not in a hurry at all and took his wife and his cute baby everywhere to play every day.
But the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
Zhao Guangming is definitely the most anxious, even though he has reported Li Yihui's co-production to his leadership.
Yes, if Li Yi were to give up, it would indeed leave a bad impression on the leader, but that's all. But Zhao Guangming would be really miserable.
Li Yi is the director, and he has not promised anything to the leader, but Zhao Guangming is different. If it were Li Yige, then what would Zhao Guangming be in the eyes of the leader? He is a representative of incompetence!
Why are you talking so loudly about things you are not sure about?
"I said, Li Yi, Director Li, what on earth are you causing?" Zhao Guangming said somewhat depressedly.
"What's wrong with me? Director Zhao, why can't I understand? You have to take care of my family when they go on a trip?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Okay, stop teasing me, what's going on with you? How's the co-production going? You don't really want pigeons, do you?" Zhao Guangming said simply and directly.
"Oh, you're talking about this, isn't it still early? I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"I..." Zhao Guangming was so embarrassed.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have tricked you. I apologize, okay? Director Li, please give me an accurate answer. If it doesn't work, I can only shamelessly admit my mistake to the leader." Zhao Guangming said.
Li Yi did not tease him anymore, but smiled and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I did have an inspiration, but..."
"But what?" Zhao Guangming suddenly became excited when he heard that Li Yi had an idea.
"This idea, uh, how should I put it? It's a bit special. I was also worried that I wouldn't get a co-production film by then, but it turned out that it could only be released in Bangzi, but not in China. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?" Li Yituqiong
Dagger see.
In fact, the movie "Happy Family" is essentially okay, but after all, this movie really has Ah Piao.
Can such a movie be screened? It’s really hard to say.
Of course, there is a high probability that it should be OK. After all, the publicity has been launched, and the exchange meeting will be upgraded. It is impossible to get stuck in this aspect.
But Li Yi definitely didn't want to worry about this kind of thing. Since Zhao Guangming was anxious, he was naturally happy to let him solve the problem by himself.
Speaking of which, the domestic film review system is actually quite flexible.
Unless the three views are really too righteous, otherwise, most of the time, whether it can be passed or not can still be discussed.
Although the movie "Happy Family" contains Ah Piao, in fact, it is just a comedy.
"Here...you kid, you're waiting for me here. Okay, give me the script and I'll go do some activities!" Zhao Guangming said in a dumbfounded voice.
Li Yi has already prepared the script, and is just waiting for Zhao Guangming to come to the door.
On the other side, Zhao Guangming quickly received Li Yi's new script.
He couldn't wait to start reading.
But soon, he frowned.
I just feel like my brain is aching, this is so blatant, and I just came out of Ah Piao!
The huge difference from "A Chinese Ghost Story" is that the Piao who appears in "Happy Family" is in modern times!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, what could he do?
He knew that Li Yi could not come up with a new story just because this script could not pass the review.
He could only continue reading patiently.
Soon, Zhao Guangming's brows relaxed. It was much better than he imagined. Although there was Ah Piao, this story was full of warmth.
If it were any other time, he really wasn't sure that this story would pass the review, but this time it was different.
After all, with the co-production film Zhuyu from the previous exchange meeting in the front, this is considered a previous case, so this book will not be so abrupt.
Zhao Guangming closed the printed script, took a photo of the cover, then picked up the phone and called an old friend in the review room.
"Director Chen? It's me, Lao Zhao! That's right, I have a book here, it's directed by Li Yi. Well, isn't this the cultural exchange conference that pays more attention to it, so I specially invited Director Li Yi
, the script is right here with me." Zhao Guangming said to Director Chen Hongbin in the review room.
"Hey, old Zhao, is there something wrong with this book? You, please give us problems!" Chen Hongbin and Zhao Guangming are old classmates. As soon as Zhao Guangming called and said it, he knew that Zhao Guangming must be there again.
Give them a problem.
In fact, even if you look at the review room, it seems to have a lot of power, but only people in the industry know that, like Chen Hongbin, as the director, it is actually impossible to make decisions with just one word.
The domestic film review system is very flexible.
But precisely because of this, it is even more troublesome.
"I am also very helpless! I have already made a guarantee with the leader that director Li Yi has come up with a suitable project. If it gets stuck with you, I won't be able to produce a work...
"When Zhao Guangming said this, he believed that Chen Hongbin also understood what he meant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, forget it, I know that your old Zhao must have done nothing to hold back, just send it over!" Of course Chen Hongbin knew about the cultural exchange meeting.
There is no such thing as a small thing.
On Li Yi's side, after leaving the matter to Zhao Guangming, he ignored it.
Anyway, he believed that Zhao Guangming would not let this book get stuck even if it was for his own sake.
It's a big deal that Li Yi won't film anymore, but he can't!
In fact, what Li Yi didn't know was that the review of "Happy Family" was much easier than he imagined.
Of course, it’s also because of special circumstances!
A story like "Happy Family" is actually much simpler to review than many other stories.
Why do you say that?
Because the characters, stories, backgrounds, etc. involved in "Happy Family" are not particularly sensitive. The entire story revolves around the male protagonist.
From the core idea, this story is warm, healing and positive!
Therefore, there is actually no problem in this aspect.
So for this kind of script, the review room can make its own decision.
Of course, this does not mean that it will be easy for this book to pass review.
This involves an issue of responsibility.
First of all, if it is something else that needs to be reviewed by the relevant direct departments, then for the film review room, their responsibility is not that big. After all, it is not them who have the final say whether it can pass or not.
If something goes wrong with a film like "Happy Family", since no other departments are involved, the film review department itself will be responsible.
However, the reason why it was simpler than Li Yi imagined was because Li Yi underestimated his own influence and also underestimated the importance and specifications of this cultural exchange meeting.
The so-called foreign affairs are no small matter!
What's more, it involves official-level exchanges such as cultural exchanges between the two sides.
Therefore, after getting the script, Chen Hongbin breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. At other times, he might have killed him out of caution.
Or you can change the script, for example, change Piao into a hallucination or something.
But this time, the script is written by the famous international director Li Yi, it is a co-production, and it involves a cultural exchange meeting. The combination of these reasons makes Ah Piao and other things really not a big deal.
.
After all, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, right?
And what could go wrong with a story like this?
Really not!
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour, but if they really dare to explode the thorns, not to mention Zhao Guangming, but Li Yi himself will be enough for them to weigh.
Moreover, most of the time, no one will be so blind to do things, because if you can do it, then when it is your turn, you will also be made to die.
It's not that there is no such precedent.
In the early years, there were two companies that were direct competitors because their films were released at the same time, so they caused trouble when the other party was submitting their films for review.
Success often leads to failure. There are many people who can do this kind of thing. But competitors may not be able to get the film passed, but they can still hurt each other!
As a result, both movies were directly postponed. This matter was quite a big deal at the beginning, and it was the chairman of China Film Group who came forward to warn both parties that they stopped.
This incident has also made many people remember that you can cause trouble, but it is best not to cause trouble in this area.
Because the film review system in China is very flexible, no matter how subtle it is, as long as someone is messing with it and wants to get you stuck, there is always a way.
"So soon?" So when Zhao Guangming called to announce the good news, Li Yi was confused.
"I'm quite surprised too, but your script must be good. Apart from the elements of Piao, there are no other sensitive issues! How about it? Can we start working? I'm not saying that, the production team
No donkey can rest like you!" Zhao Guangming was also in high spirits during happy events and couldn't help but joke about Li Yi.
"Okay!" Li Yi also knew that if he continued to delay, he was afraid that Zhao Guangming would block the door every day.
Li Yi didn't care at all about the partners he was cooperating with in "Happy Family". He directly gave part of the share to Bangzi's side and let the two most powerful Bangzi's film and television companies divide it among themselves.
Although the original version of this movie is the story from Bangzi's side, Li Yi's side must be slightly changed.
Therefore, the male protagonist must be one of our own.
Li Yi had already thought of it and decided Zhou Xing would play the role.
As for the heroine, Li Yi originally wanted to choose a domestic actor, but in the end it was Zhao Guangming who persuaded her: "Although it's okay if you do it this way, it doesn't look good after all! Exchange meetings, exchange meetings, must be at least a little genuine.
exchange, right?”
Li Yi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
On the one hand, although this is not a men's movie, it almost always revolves around the male protagonist.
The heroine's role is actually not that many.
Of course, this role is actually quite outstanding, so Li Yi just threw it to the stick.
There are only two requirements: be beautiful and have acting skills!
As for other things, he didn't care so much.
What about fame?
Perhaps ten or twenty years ago, the actresses from Bangzi were indeed very famous here in China, but in this era, are there any top actresses from Bangzi?
Li Yi really couldn't think of it.
Bangzi paid more attention to the movie than Li Yi imagined.
Even, they released the news in their country very early. Although Li Yi was not the director of their Bangzi country, they couldn't resist that Li Yi was also a person of the same skin color.
In addition, Li Yi's achievements are indeed not comparable to any of their directors.
What Li Yi doesn't know is that his fan base in Bangzi is really not weak.
This is due to the fact that many of the adaptation rights for the movies he made were sold to Bangzi.
Moreover, many of the movies he made were also released on Bangzi, and the box office was quite good.
In addition, because of Bangzi's urinary properties, he still called Li Yi many times in his early years that he was actually a stickman or something.
Therefore, when Li Yi, after many years of absence, actually prepared to co-produce a major production with Bangzi, he naturally detonated the entire Bangzi immediately.
Yes, the whole thing!
After all, the entire country of Bangzi is no more than a province in the country.
At the same time, many famous directors over at Bangzi also praised Li Yi's achievements, artistic attainments, etc.
After all, if you were other Asian directors, they could still criticize you for things like poor box office performance or lack of award recognition.
But when it comes to Li Yi, it's really not that bad.
In terms of box office, Li Yi is already the number one in Asia, and the same is true in terms of awards.
Not to mention that Li Yi can be regarded as a famous director and a great director globally!
For this reason, "Happy Family" hasn't even started filming yet, and it's already turning red and purple on the stick.
Therefore, when the two Bangzi entertainment companies that collaborated with Li Yi on "Happy Family" announced that they had secured the casting rights for the heroine, who is second only to the male protagonist, for Bangzi.
The entire Bangzi entertainment industry is in a state of excitement.
It's really not an exaggeration.
Perhaps when the Korean Wave invaded in the early years, entering the Chinese market was really not a big deal.
But today is different from the past. Nowadays, it can be said that the actresses on the Bangzi side really have no reputation and influence in China.
And this time, it's Li Yi's movie.
How big is the market in China? This kind of opportunity is even more attractive than Hollywood movie roles to some extent!
