Light and shadow player

Chapter 877
Liu Yifei rested at home for two days, and then began to deal with some odd jobs.

Cheng Mufan also knew that her parents were going to take her on a long-distance trip, so she was very obedient these days, doing whatever she was asked to do.

He stopped making trouble, stopped arguing with Liu Yifei, and knew how to pinch his waist and legs for his father.

Cheng Yu'an is also busier than before, and has to finish the work at hand so that he can spare time to travel with his wife and daughter.

The seven directors of "My Motherland and Me" have been confirmed. In addition to Zhang Yimou, Han Yan, and Guo Fan, they will join Xu Shanzheng, Xue Xiaolu, Ning Hao, and Wen Muye.

A team of seven people will participate in the preparatory group to participate in topic selection.

More than 40 themes have passed the first round of screening, and there are 30 left.
The preparatory team will start the second round of screening before Cheng Yuan leaves the capital, and then only 15-20 topics will be left for the seven directors to choose from.

"The Wandering Earth" released the main poster. I'm sorry, although Wu Jing is not the lead actor, but his personal photo is the largest, and it is placed in the most prominent position on the poster.

Wu Jing did not agree to do this at first, but the publicity department persuaded him.

It can be regarded as taking advantage of Master Wu's enthusiasm.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" held a pre-screening event at the Shanghai Film Festival, which attracted thousands of people.

But this year's film festival, according to Huang Jianxin himself: "It was the most deserted time I participated in."

This year, bigwigs from all parties are also there, but it is really not so lively.

The trading market in the exhibition center is basically empty, and each company has its own booth, but the scale has shrunk significantly compared with previous years.

Even Remote only needs a booth half the size of last year.

It is not Chen Zhixi and Jiang Xuerou who sit in the exhibition center, but the vice president of business, which shows how much he takes it seriously.

Many small companies are not even exhibiting this year.

"Once the excitement of the movie is over, everyone is reluctant to come."

To say that the biggest difference in this year's film festival is that politics is in command!
Because after March of this year, movies were separated from radio and television, and were under the control of the propaganda department.

Nor do such institutional adjustments bring about anything.

Yuan Yuan didn't deliberately look for a sense of presence at the film festival, but followed the usual practice.

However, Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei did not appear at the film festival. According to the remote response:

"Cheng Dao still has some work to do. Yifei just returned to China and is not feeling well."

Wang Changtian said bluntly: "The first crisis of Chinese films is coming."

"The box office grew slowly in 2015. Everyone thought that the challenge was coming, but it was not. The sign of the current crisis is that the film industry has experienced a sharp decrease in funds, and many film companies are experiencing financing difficulties. Listed film companies cannot issue additional shares. Difficulties, loan interest is constantly increasing, social capital is unwilling to invest money because your return on investment is low, production costs are constantly rising in the process, and copyright sales are constantly declining.”

"At the same time, due to the shortage of funds in the whole society, many of our film and television companies are facing difficulties in project financing. I am basically sure that thousands of film and television companies may go bankrupt in the next one or two years. "

Jiang Xuerou, the chief producer of remote film and television who was also in the forum, returned to the production: "Chinese directors are now the most enjoyable directors in the world. They have less and less budget constraints, and less and less need to listen to producers, because There is a lot of money now. It is not right for directors to sit on the bank and raise funds with scripts and ideas.

"Recently, there are 3 films to be filmed, with a budget of more than 30 billion. The film goes to the capital market to get money, which actually raises the threshold of the industry. I think it is unrealistic."

Who else could I be talking about, Wuershan's "Fengshen" trilogy.

Wu Ershan wanted to persuade Jiang Xuerou to pay, but Jiang Xuerou directly refused when she saw the budget.

Regarding the choice of actors, Jiang Xuerou pointed out, "We don't hire expensive actors for remote filming, and we can't hire actors. We only invite the right actors."

"When we were preparing for "I'm Not the God of Medicine", we wanted to hire an actress, but she said that she only acted in a movie with a billion-dollar rating. I asked her, how do you know that our movie can't reach a billion, and she said Looking at our lineup and budget, we know that it will not sell at the box office.

"I've thought about it for a long time. I don't know what the problem is. Why do many actors become like this now."

No one can answer Jiang Xuerou's question, she is a producer, she must be looking for good and cheap actors.

When the Shanghai International Film Festival came to an end, Cheng Yu'an's family had already packed their luggage and was ready to start a long-distance trip as a family of three!

I also asked Liu Xiaoli, she didn't want to join in the fun and chose to stay at home.

Cheng Mufan deliberately changed into new hats, new clothes, new skirts and new shoes, even the socks were new!

Happily sitting on the children's suitcase that I pestered my mother to buy, and was dragged away by my father.

The couple didn't bring an assistant, so they went to the airport and brought a driver to drive:
"Let's go south this time, first go to Anhui Province, then go back to Hubei Province, then go south to Jiangxi Province and Hunan Province, then go to Guizhou Province, then fly to Qiongdao, then visit Xinmatai Indonesia, and then go north to Wandao, Japan and Korea, finally home. How, how is my arrangement?"

Liu Yifei was very satisfied after hearing this: "Forget that you have a heart."

The daughter sat on the side and followed: "Have a heart."

Liu Yifei asked with a smile, "Are you going on a self-driving tour this time?"

"No, no, no." Cheng Yuan waved his hand. He was injured during a self-driving tour in Europe before, and he was too tired after the long drive, "I don't want to drive long distances with you."

…………

In July of this year's summer vacation, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released the earliest, on the 7th, but the movie was not in the first sequence of audience viewing.

Throughout July, the audience is most looking forward to Jiang Wen's "Hidden Man", "Asura", which cost 7 million yuan and is known as "the Chinese version of "Avatar", and "Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings" and "Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings" released at the end of July "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

The crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" deliberately put the premiere at Tsinghua University, and named the premiere "Sheng Ru Xia Hua".

Xu Shanzheng's popularity is still high, and the students are very enthusiastic to support him.

Of course, the director Wen Muye was not spared: "There were rumors before that Cheng Yu'an kept the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" for himself. Is it true?"

Wen Muye smiled and said: "It's true. The book of "The God of Medicine" was originally written by Mr. Cheng and Jia Nu. He said that he made it himself for two years, but I have a thick skin and pestered him for a long time to get this book. .”

Wen Muye didn't blush at this kind of thing, and even added: "Speaking of which, our group of directors took a lot of scripts from Mr. Cheng, all of which he originally wanted to shoot, and then gave them to us."

"So, if the movie is not good, just scold me as the director, it's not that Mr. Cheng's script is bad."

The host of the premiere said at the right time: "Director Cheng Yu'an is out of town and couldn't make it to our premiere, but he recorded a video to say hello to our classmates from Tsinghua University and the crew of "The God of Medicine". Come on, let's take a look."

The big screen began to play the video recorded by Cheng Yuan in the hotel:
"Hello, Tsinghua students..."

Cheng Yu'an only spoke for two or three minutes, mainly to say good things for the film's actors and directors, and I hope everyone will support: "The script was written by me and Jia Nu. If the movie is not good, everyone blames me for not writing a good story. Filming this scene was very hard, I hope everyone will be more considerate. Thank you."
