Light and shadow player

Chapter 400 UAM
Tang Wei is not in Cheng Yu'an's aesthetics, at most Cheng Yu'an thinks she is pretty, but she can't be called a beauty.

Tang Wei is not doing very well in China now, and he can get plays, but none of them are particularly good productions.

"Martial Arts" can be regarded as her best resource in the country in the past few years, and now she is filming the racing movie "Speed ​​​​Angel" directed by Ma Chucheng.

In fact, relying on her relationship with Chen Zhixi, it can be said that it is easy to act in a long-distance play, and Cheng Yu'an will not bother with this kind of thing.

But Chen Zhixi chose not to use her best friend in order to silence the people below.

"Actually, Zhixi doesn't need to do this. The company usually finds its own acquaintances when using actors." Cheng Yu'an chatted with Tang Weiduo, "Yang Xue is a junior sister of my college, and Jiang Xin is my actress in "Tian Long Ba Bu". The film crew met all of them as friends. You have both acting skills and popularity, and if there is a play that suits you, I will definitely find you."

After all, the person "BJ Meets Seattle" was pried away, so let's find a chance to make up for it a little bit.

"Then thank you Director Cheng." With Cheng Yu'an's promise, Tang Wei also left contentedly.

The entire forum revolved around Asian films, especially how young Asian filmmakers grow up.

Wang Zhonglei said that it is necessary to improve the training mechanism for young filmmakers: "They must be allowed to lose money, and they cannot be determined to live or die. If a script fails, it will not be given another chance. This is a very bad practice."

Showbox's senior producer Shin Chang-hwan expanded on the basis of Wang Zhonglei and talked about Showbox's new director support plan.

Cheng Yu'an didn't have much to add, but just discussed the training mechanism of long-distance old and new.

The industry knows many things, and Cheng Yu was not allowed to install it in the cup.

In fact, the protagonist of this forum tonight is not Cheng Yu'an, but Wang Zhonglei.

Huayi signed a strategic cooperation agreement with UAM, an alliance of six Korean brokerage companies:

"UAM is composed of six Korean brokerage companies, hoping to expand the Asian market. On this basis, we first focus on China, and Huayi Brothers is the most trustworthy brokerage company in China. I believe that for Huayi Brothers , UAM is also a trustworthy organization, so the most important basis for our cooperation is two words - trust. We hope that through strategic cooperation with them, we can share the best film and television projects and artist resources in China and South Korea, and establish We will discuss the feasibility of development together through smooth information communication channels, so as to facilitate more and more specific cooperation in the future.”

Wang Zhonglei just arrived in Busan yesterday, and he said at the signing ceremony: "Through this strategic cooperation, we can also build the largest platform for information exchange, and share information in the entire entertainment field such as movies, TV dramas, brand cooperation, and media cooperation between the two countries. I believe that in the future, outstanding Chinese artists will be able to enter the Korean mainstream market, and at the same time, there will be many outstanding Korean artists joining Chinese film and television projects, of course, Huayi’s projects will definitely be included.”

Cheng Yuan curled his lips as he watched from the audience.

This UAM first looked for a long-distance brokerage company to cooperate with, but long-distance takes film production as its core business, and is not optimistic about the acting performance of the artists promoted by UAM, and its own production business does not worry about finding actors. There is no need to force Koreans in for cooperation.Of course Hallyu is very profitable, but music has always been a shortcoming of remote, so Cai Yinong is not very interested in this cooperation; another reason is that the four major domestic production companies in Korea prevent UAM from contacting remotely.

Let's see who these six agencies are: SM, KeyEast, AM Entertainment, StarJ, YG, JEYP, which one is the material for making movies.

This UAM alliance was created by the six major brokerage companies to fight against CJ and Lotte.

Oh, by the way, the original space-time is this cooperation agreement, and Hua Yi stuffed Li Minhao into the Spring Festival Gala.

Song Chengxian came to the mainland to develop, and he went to Huayi to pay homage to the wharf when he was tired. In order to open up the situation, he formed a CP with Liu Yifei.

Gan!
When Cheng Yu'an thought of this, he couldn't sit still at the scene, and he took the people to leave after he got what he deserved.

Cheng Yu'an will stay in South Korea for a few more days.

After returning to the hotel, I can't rest, and there are still many invitations to deal with.

The first is the talk with Li Jundong, the producer of Lotte Culture.

Rakuten is a bit displeased with YC Studio not making movies for an entire year this year.

Of course, they also know that YC Studio was too high-profile in the Korean market last year and attracted attention, but if you don’t make movies, what will I earn?

Of course, the company's inherent production of seven or eight small ten movies per year is enough, but who would think that it makes less money.

So Li Jundong came to urge the film.

"Director Cheng, in fact, you don't need to pay attention to outside voices, we can guarantee the safety of YC Studio's operation."

Of course Cheng Yu'an believed what Li Jundong said, but he still said: "After all, we are still too young in the Korean market, and we still need to consolidate our foundation steadily. Last year's performance was very good, and we still need time to digest it."

Anyway, no matter what you say, I will only make two TV series this year, and I will not make any more movies.

"I heard... "Pacific Rim" has encountered a little financial trouble, and we, Lotte, are very willing to help Director Cheng."

"It's not necessary, it's just that the shooting time has been postponed, and the matter has basically been resolved." After all, Warner didn't withdraw from "Pacific Rim", it was just a matter of wrangling, and the start date was pushed to February and March next year.

Li Jundong finally mentioned the release of "Hunting", Lotte hopes to win the distribution rights of "Hunting" in South Korea.

Cheng Yu'an said: "The Korean distribution copyright of this film was sold to NEW when it was in Venice. I'm very sorry."

Li Jundong returned without success.

…………

Cheng Yuan is really busy in Korea, meeting and holding meetings with different people every day.

Luc Besson still didn't give up and wanted to invite him to invest in Europa, but Cheng Yu'an didn't even see him.

He even thinks of himself as a kid!

Director Wei Desheng and producer Wu Baige of "Sedek Bale" begged to see Cheng Yu'an, which confuses him.

What needs to be discussed has already been discussed in Venice, so what else can I talk about when I come to Busan.

As soon as they arrived at the meeting restaurant, halfway through the meal, the two revealed their true intentions: they wanted to release "Sedek Bale" remotely.

They thought that Cheng Yu'an supported "Sedek Bale" in Venice and said a few good words, which showed that he liked this movie very much and should choose to release it.

Why do people always take Cheng Yu'an as a winner!
Wu Baige is Xiaoma's contracted director, you don't go to Xiaoma, you come to me?
Will I want a movie that even the ponies don't want?
In Venice, that's a scene talk, can't you hear it?

Saying a few polite words will not lose two catties of meat, so you still listen to the truth.

Cheng Yu'an didn't speak, and just let Wei Desheng talk.

How hard it is to film and how difficult it is to raise funds:
"I should be the thickest-skinned director in the history of Bay Island movies. I borrow money every day, causing Bay Island entrepreneurs to block me and hang up the phone as soon as they hear my name."

Good story, go on!
One more word, I am moved by you.

Wei Desheng said: "Director Cheng also watched "Sedek Bale" in Venice. The quality is very good, and the release of this movie will definitely make money."

When borrowing money to make a film, you can talk about ideals and feelings with investors, but when talking about distribution, you have to talk about money directly.

Wei Desheng understands this.

But Cheng Yu'an knew that the distribution of this film would definitely lose money, and the domestic box office of this film was 1700 million.

I send a hammer!

Cheng Yuan refused: "I don't want to release "Sedek Bale"."

"Why?" Wei Desheng really thought it was a good movie, but he and Wu Baige met with many distributors, but they didn't talk about it.

"First, as a commercial film, "Sedek Bale" is too long and challenges the audience's patience; second, mainland audiences may not be interested in the resistance of the aborigines of the Bay Island, because mainland anti-Japanese films have already Enough."

"I can't see the profit prospects of this film's distribution. Director Wei, I'm sorry, thank you for your hospitality, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."
