I really can't act

Chapter 507 The Lobbyist
This is a large Chinese-style box, with two tables divided by a screen in the middle, one for actors and screenwriters, and the other for producers and company executives.

Fang Yi was at the last table.Along with them were Yang Shoucheng, eldest brother Cheng, Wang Tao, and representatives from China Film Group.

Everyone first chatted for a while, and then inevitably talked about the status quo of the industry.Yang Shoucheng started: "Director Chen's film "Search" was released recently. I heard that the box office was quite good. I didn't dare to vote for films directed by mainland directors. Now I'm conservative. They are also changing... I should pay more attention to it in the future. A director who aspires to box office in the mainland."

He sighed: "Hong Kong is too small, it won't work if it stays the same... Chinese films have cost tens of millions at the box office, and if this continues, it will only get worse and worse."

Big Brother Cheng said: "How much is the box office?"

Fang Yi had been to the premiere of "Search" before and paid attention to the film's box office. He said, "It's over [-] million. It is said that it may become the highest-grossing mainland literary film."

Big Brother Cheng was surprised: "No, isn't your "Love Letter" a literary film? How did "Search" get the top spot?"

""Love Letter" is considered a commercial film."

"—How do mainland China count as a commercial film or a literary film? Is "Love Letter" also a commercial film? This film is in Hong Kong, so it must not be a commercial film."

Fang Yi smiled and said: "I personally think it is a commercial film, and the whole thing is written according to the story structure of a commercial film... Do you think a genre film is a commercial film? I think it is of course."

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while Yang Shoucheng said: "Maybe the classification method in the mainland is different from that in Hong Kong...Since we are talking about the box office in the mainland, we will take their side as the standard."

In fact, there is no special definition for literary films and commercial films, and there is no obvious distinction.Fang Yiqiang said that it is okay if it is a literary film, but it is not necessary.

Most literary and artistic films in mainland China should not be called "literary and artistic films", but experimental films, the kind of films that look crazy, have a sleepy rhythm, and have riddles in their lines.Director Chen's "Search" has an all-star cast. Even Fang Yi went to the platform to support it. It is an absolute genre and commercial film.

The reason why he attributes his films to the category of "literary films" is because he has not achieved commercial success for many years.You can only change the track to compete, so as to maintain your godhead.

There is a saying that "the best literary and artistic films are commercial films." According to this standard, "Search" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" are not particularly excellent literary and artistic films, because the box office is not good, which means that the audience is not wide.

The elder brother Cheng wanted to fight for Fang Yi, and he criticized several big directors in the mainland, and then said: "You said before that the film will start shooting in September at the earliest, and when you finish filming, it may not be released until next year." It’s been half a year, right? In fact, it took a long time to shoot.”

Fang Yi was asked several times by him today, and immediately asked directly: "Brother, do you want to recommend anyone?"

The eldest brother Cheng suddenly blushed and faltered, unable to speak. "This, this..."

Yang Shoucheng guessed right away: "How soon will your child be released?"

"Half a year."

The eldest brother Cheng talked to himself and tried his best to explain: "He was given a harsher sentence on purpose, just to let him be a good man and completely change his mind."

Then, watching Fang Yi not speak.

Apparently he meant that when his unicorn comes out, can he play a role in Director Fang's main theme movie and wash away the public's bad feelings.

This kind of public relations method has also been done by the international chapter. Once the reputation is not good, it will engage in charity and social activities-these are all extras. The most important thing is to develop business capabilities and prove their strength.

Fang Yi broke out in a cold sweat!Who would have thought that Big Brother would count on him?Immediately shook his head desperately: "Brother, you can recommend anyone, but he can't."

Big brother Cheng's tone softened: "Fang Yi, he's just a trick, he can actually endure hardships. He fought hard and desperately in the filming of "The True Colors of a Man". He's no worse than Feng Zai!"

"No."

"Is there no way at all?"

"There is no way." Fang Yi was decisive.

Don't talk about acting in my film, and don't invite this man in your film. Let him be the second generation ancestor at ease in the future, and don't worry about other things.

The eldest brother Cheng was very disappointed and didn't understand why Fang Yi didn't give face.The matter of his son in Hong Kong was not a big problem in the past few decades. Why is it different in mainland China?
Yang Shoucheng saw what he was thinking, and said, "Mainland has its own rules. I said earlier that literary films and commercial films are classified differently, and now this matter is different. Jackie, think of other ways?"

"It really doesn't work, I have to take him by myself. I'll chip in the money, and I'll make a film."

Fang Yi frowned: as long as it has nothing to do with me.

Then a bunch of dishes came up, and the host Yang Shoucheng waved: "Stop discussing unhappy things, if you can't do it, you can't do it, just watch it, pay more attention to our own movies."

After eating a few chopsticks, the eldest brother Cheng couldn't help it, and asked a mysterious question: "Fang Yi, do you think he still has hope in this life?"

"I can't tell."

"So you can't see clearly?"

What kind of nonsense is this?If you believe this, you might as well believe that Qin Shihuang is still alive.

Hong Kong director Er Dongsheng made a movie "The Disciple". In it, there was a couple who were mad. Back to justice.

The husband said: You made a mistake, she hurt me, not me.

The film doesn't directly tell which one hurt which, but from some clues, it can be deduced that it is actually a woman who hurt her husband.

Her statements to the protagonist are all false, they are all deceitful, no matter how pitiful she is, you can't believe anything she says, once a person gets mad, there is absolutely nothing to hope for.

——Er Dongsheng is an old director in Hong Kong. He was born in 57 and started to come into contact with movies in his teens.He said that his film was "rewritten over many years and based on a lot of real material".

Obviously this is common sense, only the eldest brother Cheng is dizzy because it involves children.

Fang Yi continued to shake his head.

Yang Shoucheng snorted, "Jackie! Don't talk about this matter anymore."

The eldest brother Cheng was quite disappointed. He felt that he wanted to take his son to convert to Buddhism and go ashore from the sea of ​​suffering, but was rejected by the Buddha. During the filming of "Zodiac", he had many disasters and disasters. It was all thanks to Fang Yi to wipe his ass, and the final filming turned out to be better than expected.

Combined with Fang Yi's rumors of metaphysics, it was hard for him not to believe that Fang Yi was somewhat mysterious.

However, such a person is also unwilling to have anything to do with his son.

- Oops!

Because of his suggestion, the meal he made was worthless.After eating hastily, Wang Tao took Fang Yi away on the pretext of "commercial secrets".

He explained his purpose in a few words: "I am a lobbyist, and I advise you to cooperate with Penguin Horse."
