Chapter 458 "White Deer Plain"

In the past few days in the United States, the aunt and nephew have been thinking about one thing.

Did the so-called Sino-US co-production really work?

Even if he was reborn, Cheng Yu'an didn't have a definite answer to this question.

Affected by the new film agreement, the hottest thing in the past two years is the Sino-US co-production.

But Remote is a bit conservative in this respect.

Only one "Super Body" with a cost of only 4000 million US dollars was used to test the waters.

For the so-called "co-production" scripts of the Hollywood manufacturers who came to the door, they sent back all the scripts remotely.

The aunt and nephew pondered for several days, but they had no idea.

The production director Sarah felt that this was just a small problem, and she even proposed to make the new "Jurassic Park" reboot into a co-production.

It is easy to install Chinese actors, and it is also easy to put the post-production in China, and the funds and crew members are even simpler.

The key is how "Jurassic Park" will be shot in China.

Can't the protagonist fly to the United States by plane in the capital?
Cheng Yu'an immediately stopped Sarah's crazy idea: "Sarah, China doesn't have its own dinosaur movie yet, and audiences don't seem to be interested in monsters like dinosaurs. I advise you to give up the idea of ​​filming in China, and when the time comes, it will be filmed for Chinese audiences." I don’t like it, and North American audiences are uncomfortable looking at it, and both parties are not pleasing.”

It's not that Cheng Yu'an never thought of making "Jurassic World" a co-production, but there really isn't a better way.

The largest market for the "Jurassic" series is North America.

The aunt and nephew thought about it for a few days, and they all agreed that whether it is a Chinese-American co-production, a Chinese-Korean co-production or a Chinese-Japanese co-production, the latter two are actually fine because there is no cultural barrier after all.

Sino-US co-production is not a big deal.

The consensus reached by the aunt and nephew is that it is not a big deal for the actors, but it is still very profitable for the staff behind the scenes.

The two decided not to deliberately pursue a co-production, Cheng Yu'an took advantage of the situation and proposed a new concept:

Two beats per book.

"Two shots in one book means literally, the same script, the directors of the two countries adjust the shooting according to their specific conditions. This will greatly shorten the cycle and save costs."

Cheng Lingfeng thought about it for a while, and felt that one book and two films are more interesting than co-productions: "This model seems to be interesting." Cheng Lingfeng became interested, "We can try a Chinese and Korean one book and two films, after all, the cultures of the two countries are different. If there is a gap, the book can be used with fine-tuning. It can also generate income for our Korean studio.

"Hey, what's going on at the Korean studio? I heard they're being targeted?"

"Last year, we were targeted by a small group. CJ and his group stood on the dry bank to watch the excitement. They said they would protect us, but everyone knew they were taking the opportunity to beat us. Last year we kept a low profile in Korea, and this year we filmed One movie, and two TV series to come."

Speaking of the development in the Korean market, Cheng Yuan is very dissatisfied with the Big Four in Korea. They have made a lot of money from themselves. Last year, the Korean studio was targeted. Xijie said a few dry words and ignored them. A little practical action nothing.

"That's why I gave "Ex Machina" to SM. The Korean market is not limited to their four film studios. They do this, and some people want to cooperate with us. I plan to find film studios other than the Big Four Do."

So this year, Cheng Yu'an hasn't been to Korea, even though people from Xijie and Lotte always call to invite him.

After "Pieta" won the Golden Lion Award, Finecut (the producer of "Pieta") wanted to invite him to Korea to show his gratitude, but Cheng Yu'an didn't go.

This is going, that's really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit.

…………

When Cheng Yuan returned to China, he was told that his favorite "White Deer Plain" was released.

"I know, Wang Quan'an's movie will definitely be bad."

"how do you know?"

"I have no problem with Wang Quan'an's director skills. After all, he has won the Berlin Golden Bear. I mean, an epic like "White Deer Plain" cannot be made into a movie. Even if he lasts the film to 150 minutes, it is not enough to show a family. And a century of changes in a region.

"Don't say it's him, even if Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are tied together, they won't be able to shoot it.

""White Deer Plain" has a long time span, many characters, and many things. It is best to make it into a TV series. Hey, we can buy the copyright to make a TV series."

"Besides, this movie was used by Wang Quanan to pick up girls. If I'm not wrong, he chose Tian Xiaoe as the protagonist, right?"

"how do you know?"

"He broke up with Yu Nan and is chasing Zhang Yuqi. Tian Xiaoe's crotch, he must be leaning on love.

"He said it himself, he fell in love with two things in France, movies and women. What do you think he will make of "White Deer Plain"?"

The preparation period for "White Deer Plain" was indeed very long. As early as 07, the screenwriter Lu Wei announced Yu Nan as the heroine. At that time, Wang Quanan had not broken up with Yu Nan.

When Wang Quanan broke up with Yu Nan in 09, he decisively replaced her with Zhang Yuqi.

The two got married last year.

Xiying and Shaanxi Tourism Group also committed crimes, spending 1 million yuan to pick up girls for Director Wang.

It is because of China Film's malicious film scheduling that led to the September release. It should be said that before the release of "Tongque Terrace" on September 9, there were no good domestic films in September.

"White Deer Plain" thought I had a good schedule - I can't take it all if there is no movie?

Best Director in Berlin Do you think it's a joke?Not worse than the best director in Venice, right?
But the reality slapped the crew hard.

The first weekend received 2 million in 2100 days.

"It's unsatisfactory. Judging from the current situation, it should be possible for the film's total box office to exceed 1.2 million yuan. Compared with the cost of the film's 3 million yuan, the box office needs to reach [-] million yuan to pay back."

Many people have read the novel "White Deer Plain".

"Walking into the cinema with the expectation of classic novels, the film itself is far from what I expected. The procrastinated and broken story rhythm, pale and vague character creation, hasty and weak ending, etc. are not satisfactory. In contrast, the style The sharp image processing has become a highlight of the film."

"Bai Ling is gone, Lu Zhaohai is gone, Tian Xiaoe's emotional entanglement has become the main line, and a heavy epic seems so thin after being visualized. No wonder there are comments that this movie should not be called "White Deer Plain", but should be called "White Deer Plain" Tian Xiaoe on the White Deer Plain."

"The film is basically: a wheat field, Tian Xiaoe and the first man; another wheat field, Tian Xiaoe and the second man; another wheat field, Tian Xiaoe and the third man; another wheat field, Tian Xiaoe died."

The fascinating story in the original book is promoted, but the film is handled in a rough way. Viewers who have never read the original book are inevitably a little confused. Some people joked: "The movie "White Deer Plain" should have more subtitles from time to time. 'For more details, please read the original book' .”

The movie fluttered without a doubt.

For the performance of the actors, the audience did not criticize Zhang Fengyi, Duan Yihong, Liu Wei, Wu Gang and other male stars, but praised them instead. They were only very dissatisfied with the performance of the heroine Zhang Yuqi, and commented that they were "still weak".

　A million words! ! ! !

　　I never thought I could write a million words!
