China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 443 A Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix!

"How about it, am I right? Hehe..."

Some people are like this, even if it's just a blink of an eye, it's full of charm.

Jin Suo is such a woman. She seems to be seductive just by talking.

If the big eyes blink a few times, it will make people feel even more soul-stirring.

Really, this stuff is too goblin.

Shen Fang really didn't have any contact with this woman, so he knew himself well.

My own Xiaomi is already a deadly fairy, she already has the title of little fox, right?

There is also a celestial being at home, another kind of life-threatening existence, in short, it is also very difficult to deal with.

Now there is another female classmate.

Shen Fang felt that sometimes a scumbag was under a lot of pressure.

Naturally, he dared not touch the golden lock.

But right now, this woman's winking eyes are as silky as silk, and her flirtatious charm is really powerful.

Shen Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, probably only a veteran in love like the stone actor, who is still a big black bull, would dare to play with this golden lock.

Therefore, even if this woman winked at Shen Fang, Shen Fang would not be fooled at all.

Talk to Fang Li and Teacher Wu directly.

"Mr. Fang is also a well-known producer in the industry, and Mr. Wu is highly respected. Then this time, he should be looking for me to talk about movies."

Shen Fang was straight to the point. His performance made Fang Li and Teacher Wu very happy.

"Indeed." Teacher Wu nodded.

For the rest, it is best for Fang Li to talk about it.

"Brother Shen, I'm a bit older, so I'll drag you on and call you brother, how about that?"

"no problem."

"That's good, Brother Shen is really a talkative person, this one..."

"Mr. Fang, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Okay, then I won't go around the bush. We do have a project, and we hope Brother Shen can act in it, and this project...Let's just say it, what is Brother Shen most lacking right now?"

"Huh? What?"

"Awards!"

"This... I seem to have already won two movie stars?"

"That's right, but... from abroad."

"This……"

In fact, Fang Li didn't need to talk about it, Shen Fang could roughly guess it.

The movie they want to talk about should be "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix"!
In Shen Fang's memory, this movie is the most memorable, not the movie itself.

Even, it's not that Mr. Wu died before the movie was released.

It was the producer Fang Li.

His kneeling.

Kneel down to beg the theaters to arrange more films.

This "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" directly won several hot searches.

Of course, as far as the box office is concerned, there has also been a counterattack, but this kneeling has indeed caused great controversy.

As a producer, does he really want to do this?
Also, what kind of movies should our theaters show?

Is it true that a literary film like "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" cannot be screened on a large scale in theaters?
Do literary and artistic films have to find some big names and let big stars bring traffic, so as to win the favor of theaters?

In short, there are a lot of topics, and the many topics really make many people think.

In fact, this is indeed a relatively normal 'dispute'.

Not only us, but also the film market all over the world have such controversies.

At that time, many people talked about some experiences abroad.

For example, in North America, there is a whole set of techniques for literary films.

It seems that before the release, they will hold a very serious viewing of the film.

North American moviegoers are more serious. They will find fans of the appropriate age group for the movie, let them watch it and then make comments.

However, watching movies in our country will be different.

Let's watch movies here, basically the staff of various theaters.

Yes, it’s the staff, and even some theaters don’t have special viewers, so in many cases, they just ask the responsible managers in the area and let them take a look.

On the one hand, they don't pay much attention to this matter. Anyway, how to arrange and how many to arrange depends on the headquarters.

To put it bluntly, the capital tycoons have negotiated with each other, and it will be fine to implement it later.

On the other hand, it is completely from commercial considerations, these responsible managers just want box office results.

The better the box office results, the better their KPIs will be.

So, is there still a need to watch literary films?
If you don't have big names or big names, then you don't even need to look at it.

Therefore, in our domestic film market, except for the literary films of a few major directors, such as Zhang Yimou, other directors' works are really very difficult.

In fact, as far as North America is concerned, literary films are not very good.

To put it bluntly, the series of tricks over there, that very serious film screening, will also give way to economic interests.

If you can’t make money, then in a capitalist society, isn’t everything in vain?
So, is there a better option?
When discussing Fang Li's kneeling, someone mentioned a movie theater.

Rock Wave Cinema.

This is a very famous theater in the island country, and anyone who knows the literary world of the island country can immediately think of it.

This theater is under the name of Iwanami Bookstore. Iwanami Bookstore has a very high status in the island country. They have left very brilliant achievements in the literary history of the island country.

To put it simply, it is to vigorously publish the main works of Natsume Soseki.

Natsume Soseki's nationality in the island country is actually like this, that is to say, when he goes to school in Japan, he basically learns his works.

To put it bluntly, as long as Natsume Soseki’s works are included in Japanese school textbooks, then Iwanami Shoten will not fail.

And such a bookstore, and the cinema it produces must be very awesome.

Well, it should be said that it is really awesome, and the theater itself was co-developed with Dongbao's boss back then.

However, if you have actually been to this theater, your jaw will drop in amazement.

This theater is very small, it is located in Jimbocho, Tokyo, and that place is full of bookstores, and the bookstores are so small that it is shocking. This theater is on the tenth floor of a building, and there are only dozens of them. This kind of seat.

Just such a room.

It must be said that the original goal of this theater was to play good movies, and as long as they were selected, they would play them for a year.

Therefore, we Chinese filmmakers and movie fans know about this theater because "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", the famous work of Liu Ye and Chen Wanfan, won more than 1 million yen in this theater in the island country. box office.

To this day, that theater still plays good movies, and they won't show any bad movies.

However, Iwanami Theater is still such a big theater, even if it is played for a year, it is probably [-] to [-] million at the box office.

Of course, as far as the box office is concerned, they also have some other tactics, such as raising ticket prices or something.

The fare in the island country is already quite high, but sometimes it is quite illusory, and it can be even higher.

I won't talk about these, but it seems that the model of Iwanami Cinema doesn't work well.

There is no problem in setting up this kind of personalized theater, even now there are many people doing it, just like those couples experience the theater, and also provide some props such as leather whips and leather clothes... Ahem... I can't go into details .

However, it is difficult for personalized theaters to form a scale.

Just such a well-known Iwanami Cinema, until now, there is only one in the entire island country. As for similar cinemas, there should still be one, but they are not well-known, and they are not of a large scale.

As for literary films, and Fang Li's kneeling, from Shen Fang's point of view... Isn't he the solution for Fang Li and Mr. Wu now?

That's right, Shen Fang is a big star, a current top star, if he joins this movie, he will definitely not have to worry about the theater lineup.

Even, it is definitely a box office guarantee.

But there is a problem here!

What is Fang Li talking about?
awards!

I have to admit one thing, literary films are indeed easier to win awards.

In fact, many movies in our country originally had such routines.

That is to say, if it is filmed, don't care about our domestic box office, go abroad to win awards first.

This is that kind of filming the bad parts of our China in order to win film awards in Europe and the United States.

It is an act criticized by many filmmakers and fans.

But, if we look at the details, the choices those filmmakers made back then... yes, it was for money.

Many film festivals give money, such as the Berlin Film Festival, and once an award is shortlisted, there will be 5 marks, and later it will be euros.

How much is this 5 equivalent to that year?

At that time, the cost of a movie was about 20 RMB. According to the exchange rate, it means that once it was shortlisted, it would be paid back directly.

Even, if this movie wins an award, it will directly make money.

Therefore, they take art one bite at a time, but in fact they have business in their minds.

Doesn't that mean that many people, regardless of the relevant national regulations, just went to participate in the exhibition, but when they came back, they said how they were suppressed and banned from broadcasting.

What a jerk a certain unit is.

But what is the truth?

Of course, there are indeed many things wrong with a certain unit, and the review standards are too confusing or too strict.

But this matter itself, or the Chinese movie drama that appeared in the past when you sang and I appeared.

In fact, it is not for money.

Even in the case of the famous film Six Gentlemen incident, they wrote a letter requesting that the censorship be relaxed and the standards be relaxed. They clearly stated in their writing that they were doing it for the needs of the market and for making money from the film.

But it's really nice to say that the film market is slowly opening up, and it will be captured by Hollywood.

But... Forget it, these things have passed, what was right and wrong back then has little to do with Shen Fang.

It's just that the current literary film has given him so much emotion.

Fang Li...he had voted for "Apple" before, and this movie was aiming at the awards. Moreover, this guy is so powerful that "Apple" was released without cuts for a while.

Later, when it was found that something was wrong, the bureau decisively released the film, and then called Da Wei and Jin Suo to give a lecture.

There is something about this Fang Li that is not for ordinary people.

Don't look at his pitiful kneeling.

Now, he speaks eloquently, talking about various award-winning issues.

Of course, this is mainly about Europe and the United States.

Fortunately, Fang Li didn't dare to brag too much, he just said that it is possible to go to one of the three major film festivals in Europe.

In fact, going to the top three in Europe is really bluffing.

Let's put it this way, as long as you have money, you can go to all three. Even, if you simply want to put a Cannes Palme d'Or logo on your film, you only need to go there and spend 80 Euros to enter a film called Cannes. corner part.

Well, so there is the palm logo.

Therefore, what Fang Li said, Shen Fang simply said that the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out more.

So and so, it seems that Mr. Wu has seen it.

"Shen Fang, it's really presumptuous this time, but I found you because I heard you play the suona before."

Teacher Wu's words are very sincere.

His complexion was dark, and he seemed to have the same style as Zhang Yimou, that is to say, he didn't look like a big director, but rather like an old farmer.

The face is really simple.

It's just that Zhang Guoshi, in fact, has a lot of tricks.

As for Mr. Wu, he seems to be more genuine.

Shen Fang actually felt very emotional after hearing this, his suona... that's all!
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Fang, you are so sincere, I am a junior in the circle, I have nothing to say, but..."

But this is critical.

But Fang Li agreed directly.

"Brother Shen, anything is fine!"

Yes, as long as there is Shen Fang, anything is fine.

Teacher Wu is very pleased.

But Shen Fang said this, "I have to account for the investment, and then I will do the marketing."

Good guy, he wants a bird to occupy the dove's nest?
Fang Li frowned, this matter is not easy to handle.

But at this moment, Jin Suo suddenly spoke.

"Then, can I join in too?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Fang unconsciously looked at the goblin a few more times.

All in all, I'm not good at opening keyholes...
