China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 212 Alima's Mouth

After meeting the crew of "The Origin of the White Snake", the next step is to understand the specific preparation situation. I know the general situation, but some details are not so clear.

So I spent the whole morning learning about the preparations and the preparations of the actors.

It's all good, this group of people are all experienced, especially with the experience of cooperating with He Fang, so they understand He Fang's habits and know what to do.

At noon, he invited the whole crew to have an extra meal, and in the afternoon the whole crew began to read the script.

The currently confirmed director is He Fang, the male lead Xu Xuan is also He Fang, the female lead White Snake is Fan Bingbing, and Xiao Qing is Yan Ran.

The snake mother is Li Bingbing, and the national teacher is Huang Xiaoming. The two of them are just cameos, and there are not many plays. They can be finished in five days at most.It is precisely because it is a cameo that I am willing to help this favor, otherwise it would be a bit of an advantage for them to play supporting roles.

Xiaodao is Li Xian, and the owner of Fox Baoqing Workshop is Pan Zhilin.

The main actors are just a few of them, and the other supporting roles will not be introduced one by one.

"Hey, the core of the show revolves around the core of the play, that is, the touching love between the White Snake and Xu Xuan. Because the story of the White Snake and Xu Xian has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is this touching love that is most remembered, so at that time Fan When teacher Bing Bing came to me with the script, I thought the script was very good and suggested her to cast it, and the most fundamental reason was that the script described the love between White Snake and Xu Xuan very well."

"So how many steps does this love have? The first step is that the white snake was ordered to assassinate the national teacher, and then he failed and was rescued by Xu Xuan with amnesia. After that, the two fell in love. This part must be relaxed and romantic, pure and beautiful."

"The second step is that after White Snake regained her memory, she made good memories with Xu Xuan. After all, she decided to separate. This relationship needs to be upgraded, and a deep love relationship must be established. We have experienced wind and rain together, and we have experienced criticism. , experienced to let each other know the depth of love."

"The third step is that Xu Xuan turned into a demon in order to be worthy of the white snake. By the time he found Yongzhou City, the white snake had turned into a giant python. This plot mainly reflects the powerlessness of giving everything for love, but the world makes people feel powerless. , Xu Xuan gave up his life for the White Snake, but the White Snake turned into a violent python and committed heinous crimes, destroying Yongzhou City."

"The fourth step is the final ending. Xu Xuan tried his best to save the white snake, and then the white snake used all its skills to keep Xu Xuan's reincarnated soul. This part is the most touching, and there are two touching points in this part."

"One is that Xu Xuan paid the price of his life. In order to save the white snake, he gave up his life regardless of life and death. This is the first touching point. The other is that the white snake must go to Xu Xuan after 500 years. Xu Xuan, who was reincarnated in the world, may not cultivate immortality, but this love cannot be abandoned. Therefore, in the end, it ends with a happy love, using the whole story to tell how difficult and difficult this interracial forbidden love is. Touching."

"I believe that everyone understands what I want to express, and where the focus of this story is, so... to be able to express this love to a certain extent, it depends on everyone's hard work, and it will definitely become the most classic "" If the film version of "Legend of the White Snake" fails..."

He Fang glanced at the crew present and spread his hands, "Then it will be the second part of "Legend of the White Snake". Everyone must be prepared to be laughed at."

He Fang spread his hands indifferently, "Come on, let's start reading from the first scene."

……

In fact, what He Fang likes most about this movie is the animated version of another time and space, which is indeed very good, so his plan is that the setting in the movie is not to say 100% according to the animated version, but it must also be based on that. In terms of version, it's just that compared to the animated version of "The Origin of the White Snake", it is a live-action performance. In this way, the 3D is absolutely shocking.

It may not have been easy to replace the scene setting in the animation version, but the current CG technology of Huying is absolutely nothing to say. I dare not call it world-leading, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that Asia is first-class.

So many ideas can be realized, and the imagination of the movie can be extended farther. There is a saying that goes well: Where technology can achieve, imagination must be realized.It is what technology can achieve, and imagination can definitely be presented in front of the audience.

Most of the restrictions that allow audiences to see shocking movies are technical limitations. As long as the technology can be achieved, any imaginative movie can theoretically be presented to the audience.

When He Fang was in full swing preparing for the movie "The Origin of the White Snake", he received a call from Wang Han, saying that there was a big guy who wanted to meet him, and could he meet him at night.

He Fang is very strange, what kind of boss deserves such a solemn introduction by Wang Han?Besides, everyone in the circle knows that He Fang doesn't like to participate in this kind of meeting people's activities where other people make connections, otherwise he will be too busy every day?

Since everyone knows He Fang's approach, and he is currently busy preparing for a new movie, most people will never say they want to introduce someone to him.

A person with such a high emotional intelligence like Wang Han would not do such a thing, unless he really felt that he couldn't shirk it, and the person he introduced was of a high level.

"Old Wang, you know, I'm a bit busy right now, and I'm going to use your face to talk, and I have to give it to you. It's just... who is it? You're still so mysterious?" He Fang asked.

He Fang's meaning is very clear, I can give you this face, but if you want me to give you this face, I have to know who it is.

"Hey, I can't evade this. It's Ali's boss Ma. He just came to Hunan to inspect the project. He said that since he came, he wanted to see you."

"Oh, it's him. Where and when? My side may not end until eight o'clock in the evening." He Fang asked.

"Okay, as long as you can come, I will discuss the place with Lao Ma and send you a text message later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your text message."

After hanging up the phone, He Fang is not such a person who doesn't give interviews. Generally, these big hosts or leaders call to make appointments, and He Fang still wants to interview.

As for how Wang Han got involved with Alima, He Fang didn't know, maybe it was because Wang Han was a member of the Ming League, and they couldn't understand some of the routines played by party players.

There are still many people in Mingmeng's performance circle in Hunan. Celebrities like Li Guyi and Da Bing belong to Mingmeng, so it's not surprising that Wang Han was developed into it.

After the crew finished handling the matter, He Fang asked Tong Weidong to drive him there. Alima must have had some drinks when he was there, so he felt relieved when Tong Weidong drove him back home.

When they arrived at the destination, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, He Fang concealed himself and went to the box in a low-key manner. Wang Han hurriedly stepped forward to hold He Fang's hand.

"Director He, happy new year, please come in." After Wang Han let He Fang into the box, He Fang saw the strange-looking man.

He Fang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Ma, hello, nice to meet you."

"Director He, hello, hello, happy new year, alas, we are the youngest and most outstanding director in China. Recommended, but it has been unfortunate that you were not there when I was in the capital, and I was busy when you were. This time, I came to Hunan to discuss some projects, and you happened to be there, which is really rare."

Alima is very good at speaking, He Fang just said one sentence, and he said almost ten sentences.

"Haha, this may be God's arrangement. Before, the time has not come, but now the time has come." He Fang laughed.

"This statement is interesting and very Zen. Timing is all about fate, the relationship between those who have fate and those who have no fate and those who have no fate...

No, he couldn't stop talking.

He Fang can only let the other party play to their heart's content. He is originally a teacher, and he is really eloquent because he has been fooling people around all the year round.

We chatted together for a long time, and then we were almost done eating and drinking, and then we got to the topic with some tea.

"Director He, how golden is the film and television industry you said will be a golden track in the next ten years?" Alima asked.

"Didn't you invest in Huayi and other film and television companies? You should know a little about industry trends."

"Hey, I was just playing for fun. I thought, if the annual box office in North America is 100 billion U.S. dollars, then our nearly 14 billion people in China will also have 100 billion U.S. dollars in the future? That's tens of billions of film box office market. Ah, so I will try the water first to see what the entertainment industry looks like. If I understand it, I really don’t understand it.”

You have to admire Alima for being accurate in seeing the market. At that time, he thought that e-commerce in such a large market as China could make money, but he ended up doing it.

So he said that the movie industry will become a big market in the future, which is not wrong, so He Fang gave Alima a thumbs up.

"Mr. Ma, you really have vision. According to my prediction, our total box office will be comparable to that of North America in about eight years at most, reaching the box office of about 100 billion U.S. dollars you mentioned, and driving the film and television related industries. Trillion industry scale. Therefore, these few years must be the period of explosion of the film and television industry.”

"Hiss, is it really that fierce?" Alima was startled, really as he thought?
"Of course, there are two factors. One is that the audience's spiritual needs determine the growth of the movie box office market and the growth of the film and television industry. The other is that the introduction of relevant support policies will promote the explosive growth of the film and television industry. Therefore, there will definitely be a large number of However, I am also worried that a lot of chaos will be created, so I made my appeal on Weibo."

He Fang sighed after finishing speaking, and then took a puff of cigarette.

"I understand what you mean. As you said, the next ten years will be the golden age of the film and television industry." Alima said slowly and thought carefully. After taking a sip of tea, he looked up at He Fang .

"Then when is Tuanhuo Culture going to be listed? I think Tuanhuo Culture is more suitable for listing on the New York Stock Exchange than Bona." Alima said.

He Fang took a breath, smiled and shook his head.

"President Ma, what do you think is the purpose of going public?"

"Of course, the financing will help the company grow bigger and better."

"But Tuanhuo Culture is not short of money, doesn't need financing, and has no plans to grow. Unless the film and television industry buys heavy assets like Huying, or builds theaters like Wanda, the film and television industry has always wanted light assets. It can’t grow even if it grows.”

"Otherwise, why are there only six top companies in Hollywood? Because only these six companies need to build their own studios and post-processing equipment rooms and other heavy assets, and other companies do not need these heavy assets."

"Other companies want a sum of money to invest in every time a project comes, and this kind of money does not need to be completely paid out by themselves, because all the money is paid out by themselves, which means that the risks are all carried, and the risk of film and television works is higher than that of the stock market. It’s still big, so they need to bring in a lot of investors to share the risk, which is the general rule of thumb in the film and television industry.”

"So, for Tuanhuo Culture, there is no need to invest in heavy assets, and there is no shortage of money for project investment. One is that we have money, and the other is that Huying Film and Television Fund can't wait for all of our Tuanhuo projects, because the market recognizes them."

"Combining these two points, our Tuanhuo culture does not need to go public at all. If we go public, we will lose our freedom and flexibility. After all, after going public, we need to show our shareholders annual profit and financial statements, which will force us to continue to invest regardless of the market environment. We must work hard to make money, once the company falls into the direction of only making money, then the company's creativity and spirituality will be gone."

After He Fang finished speaking, he looked at Alima with a smile, and Alima was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there were people who started a company without going public, but he felt that what He Fang said was very reasonable.

However, he thought for a while and then said: "What Director He said makes sense, but the company's listing is not just for the benefit of financing. Companies that are not listed rely on loyalty and enthusiasm to connect new employees, but, This kind of loyalty and passion will fade away one day."

"The company's listing is to bind everyone together with interests, and this interest can increase in value with the fluctuation of the market, and this form is more open and transparent, and it can eliminate everyone's grudges. It is really good. Brothers start a business together with loyalty and passion, and then use the market to repay their efforts, and it will not let good brothers feel resentment for unfair distribution."

"What's more, going public can also turn your opponent into a partner. When your opponent finds that he can't beat you, he can simply buy your stock and join you, so that he doesn't have to fight with you in the industry in order to compete with you. Hello, everyone, isn’t it better?”

"So, if going public is only for making money, then as the guide said, it is not necessary for film and television companies. But if you look at this issue from another angle, you will find that there are only two or three benefits of not going public, but going public There are seven, eight or ninety benefits."

He Fang was almost shaken by Alima's words. He had to admire Alima's ability to speak.He Fang had been fooling Guo Zhaosheng back then, but Alima almost fooled He Fang.
