I really can't act

Chapter 253 Will "Love Letter" Become the Memory of a Generation
""Love Letter"? Is it a love movie?"

In the CEO's office of China Film Group, the third master washed his face with a hot towel and briefly went through the content.

During this period, Fang Yi looked at the decorations in the room - the miniature welcoming pine, the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, various honorary certificates, and the four treasures of the study.

In the storage cabinet in front of the door, there is even an iron basin with mandarin ducks printed on it for fetching water, and the wall paint next to the iron basin is green.

Typical cadre style.

The third master's gaze was on Fang Yi's face, his frowning eyebrows stretched out, and he suddenly said:

"Anyone give you any advice? I thought that in your first film, you would play some kind of perverted murderer, or like Ning Hao, play some flamboyance - young people always want to challenge themselves and break through the image, but you are not like that .”

"No one pointed out, I thought of it myself."

"However, the box office of romance movies is not easy to fight." He stretched out his finger and pointed out some movies he remembered, "There has been no romance movie that hits big in the past ten years... "Sweet Honey", "If You Love"... These are two films by Chen Kexin, they have won a lot of awards, and the box office may not be as good as your "Love Is After Life"."

When he said this, he stopped, "Fang Yi, do you want to continue making literary films? Although you can still make films at this age, you are too young after all..."

Fang Yi shook his head slowly in his heartbeat.

"So, what's the selling point?"

"youth."

The third master shrunk his stomach with difficulty, and sat towards Fang Yi, "Youth? It's really interesting. Are you going to have a martial arts competition? Or educated youth going to the countryside and resuming the college entrance examination? Tell me in detail."

"Movies are the feedback of the times. In the past ten years, the biggest reality in China has been the rapid urbanization and the impact on traditional values: including feelings, including rural plots, including friendship, including parent-child relationships."

"Loss, regret, nostalgia... many words, merged into the word youth, I think, has formed the collective memory of a generation, the first batch of post-[-]s have already married and set up a business, and have a firm foothold in large and small cities, and this movie What I want to shoot is their memory."

"When watching it in a movie theater, I think what the audience misses is not necessarily a specific person, but the self in it... In the past, the desks and chairs always had to be mischievous. Someone who is studying hard, parents who are desperately earning money, and someone who can't remember the face now, but still smiles knowingly."

The third master stood up and said: "My memories of youth are all about distribution and going to the countryside, and the days when you couldn't get enough to eat. It turns out that your youth is different from mine."

"For me, movies like "Heavenly Bath" are my youth, and the articles written by Yan Geling and Yu Hua are my youth—at least they represent some of them."

Fang Yi smiled and said: "But the youth of each generation is different. No one will take pictures of the youth of this generation, but they have the most consumption power now, don't they?"

The two chatted about the topic of "youth" for a while.

Money is not a problem, the third master has already promised.As long as Fang Yi is not too outrageous and makes some cult movies, the third master will give money.

Talk about things other than money.

For example, offering suggestions for domestic genre films.The third master immediately realized, "You are considered to be the first in the world. If your film is successful, there will be a lot of followers... Everyone should remember your affection."

Jia Zhangke has a good saying. After the director is 30 years old, his movies will always repeat his youthful experience.

That's why Jia Zhangke's films always focus on young men in small counties. Similarly, when Feng Dapao made love movies, the old men's sarcasm and humor towards big girls were almost inseparable.

Guo Shi and Jiang Wen mentioned in the previous seminars, "Today's audience must use today's director to please. We are behind the times. The world when we were young is very different from today."

What's the point of saying this?

In fact, the consumer group mainly born in the [-]s did not see the collective movie they really wanted to see. The era of the big directors is a little far away from them, and neither party has reacted.

The third master finally said, "Your movie, of course, is you who will be the hero." He looked at Fang Yi's face, and nodded his head emphatically, "You must be the hero. Actor, if you are hard to find, I will intercede for you."

"I'm a little interested in your 'youth film'. If you can create a series, it can be regarded as leaving some traces on Chinese movies... Do you have any interested actors?"

"There is a suitable person."

"Who is it? Can you please move? You have to drive the box office. Brother Xun is good. Her eyes are really beautiful. There are very few actresses who can directly pat the eyes like her... You two look so poor Not as old as that."

"This generation may also have idols of this generation."

He became interested and asked, "Tell me your name."

"The heroine of my last film."

The third master went through Liu Tianxian's appearance in his mind, but he actually couldn't understand it. He didn't think Liu Tianxian could compare with Brother Xun in this kind of film.

However, I still believed in Director Fang, "Let's go. If you encounter trouble, come to me again."

"Xiaojiao... you go see Fang Yi off, you two talk more, and get to know each other in normal times."

Xiao Jiao is the secretary of the third master. He is suspected to be the candidate for the next head of China Film Group. The third master has worked hard in China Film Group for many years and will enter retirement in about three years. Therefore, he is already introducing contacts to Xiao Jiao. .

It is said that it is Xiao Jiao, but it is actually almost 20 years older than Fang Yi.

As a favored "connection", Xiao Jiao was very polite to him and sent him all the way to the commercial vehicle, where Secretary Jiao could still be seen seeing him off.

"—Before taking the position, she was really humble."

The person who spoke in the car was Zhenjie, who learned that Fang Yi came to Zhenge this time, and Zhenjie was soliciting sponsors everywhere in the capital.

There is a section in "Let the Bullets Fly", which is about blowing up Huang Siye's bunker. Originally, Jiang Wen thought about the black screen of the movie, and with the sound of "bang" explosion, it made sense all at once.The previous few films had the painful experience of running out of money and the filming of the film was not yet finished. Jiang Wen was still willing to compromise when spending a lot of money.

So, Mark said the above sentence to Jiang Wen.

But now, Zhenjie's voice became frustrated: "You have already settled all the money, I am just a pendant, you have thought about making a feature film for a long time, and the money will come naturally."

"Souhu took 1000 million, 1000% and China Film 4000 million, 2000% because of China Film's theater chain. The remaining [-]% is calculated based on the total cost of [-] million, which is almost [-] million."

Fang Yi: "2000 million is enough, we don't need that much."

Sister Zhen was taken aback, "You want to take [-]%?"

"if not?"
