China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

With the hits of "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth", the stock price of Zhouyi Film and Television rose immediately.

The total market value has finally crossed the 180 billion mark, which is almost three times that of Huatest Film and Television.

Even Huayi Brothers, the second most valuable company in the film and television market, is nearly 50 billion behind Zhou Yi.

After all, this is the first summer vacation after Zhouyi went public, and many investors are paying attention to Zhouyi's performance after it went public.

Therefore, this summer vacation is a big test for both Zhou Yi and Gao Fei.

Under such circumstances, the performance pressure on Zhouyi Film and Television is actually quite large.

Because if Zhou Yi's performance is the same as in previous years, it can only be regarded as barely passing.

Only by performing better than in previous years can shareholders' expectations of Zhouyi, a leading film and television stock, be met.

Fortunately, Zhouyi's production is as reassuring as ever.

The stable and continuous content creation ability is also the fundamental reason why Zhouyi Film and Television can have its current market value.

But then again, no matter how high the market value is, it's the same for Gao Fei.

After all, the growth of literal wealth is just a pleasure to watch. Once Gao Fei wants to cash out, the stock price may fall accordingly.

Therefore, during this period of time, Gao Fei became the richest man in the entertainment industry in name.

But his spending power is no different from the past, and he still lives on salary and endorsement fees.

Like private jets, yachts, etc., if you can't afford it, you still can't afford it.

Of course, even if you can afford Goofy, you won’t buy it.

After all, that thing is too flamboyant, and it's really useless other than pretending to be aggressive.

The most important thing is that Gao Fei is not so busy with business that he needs to fly everywhere at home and abroad.

So in Gao Fei's opinion, with that money, he might as well invest in a few more movies!
……

July 7, afternoon, Zhouyi Building.

"Here, here, and here are all edited together by me in a montage style."

"The dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Rosie, the dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Yu Fei, and the dialogue scenes between Meng Yun and Xia Lu must produce a contrasting effect."

"I need to use these three dialogues to trigger the audience's thinking about love and marriage."

In the dimly lit editing room, Gao Fei frowned slightly and told the editor, Lao Ou.

In other words, Gao Fei is not a director with a strong desire to control like Jiang Wen.

Therefore, every time he just made a request from the relevant post-production personnel, he didn't care if it was completed.

As long as the effect satisfies him, it doesn't matter even if the post-production personnel have some ideas of their own.

It is precisely for this reason that although Gao Fei went to the road show directly after the completion of "Predecessor Raiders", the post-production progress of the film was not delayed at all.

And it's the same today.

After checking the latest editing results in the editing room, Gao Fei turned and left.

After all, he is the president of Zhouyi Film and Television first, and then a director.

These two completely different identities still have a sequence!

But when Gao Fei came out of the editing room, before he returned to the office, he saw Han Li walking towards him with a happy face.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei couldn't help laughing and teasing:
"What? So happy? Picked up money?"

I don't want Han Li to smile and nod when she heard the words:
"O(∩_∩)O haha~ It's pretty similar!"

As soon as this remark came out, Gao Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

After all, it can make Han Li happy to such an extent, it seems that the amount of windfall is not small!

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately became interested, so he immediately walked and chatted.

It was only after Han Li finished explaining the whole story that Gao Fei suddenly understood.

But then Gao Fei couldn't help being a little unbelievable and said:

"So bad? You can't do it!"

"I have worked with Hua Tsai, Tong Dawei and Zhang Jingchu, and their acting skills are pretty good."

"With so many good actors around, no matter how bad they are, there is a bottom line, right?"

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Han Li sighed with lingering fear:
"I thought so too at first, so I bought a ticket to watch it, but...how should I put it?"

"In general, it's just sixteen words: dazzling, ups and downs, up and down, four countries and five places."

Hearing this, Gao Fei was even more surprised.

"Isn't this good? Commercial films are just like this, there's nothing fancy about it!"

"Boss, it's okay for a commercial blockbuster to be a bit flashy, but the premise is...it has to be a movie!"

I saw Han Li complaining speechlessly:
"At the beginning of the movie, I saw Japanese gangsters and British thieves wanting this painting, and Andy Lau played a special agent who has been protecting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". I thought this was a common treasure hunting movie!"

"But then I saw that in order to protect the national treasure, the higher-ups sent a beautiful partner, Lin Zhiling, to shoot Andy Lau. The point is that he is a Japanese undercover agent! I thought it was a spy movie!"

"But looking further down, Lin Zhiling fell in love with Hua Zai again in a daze, and the two even talked about love in a bloody way. I thought that romance movies are the essence!"

"But it turns out that I was still too naive!"

"When Hua Tsai's revenge, the bloody female ghost suddenly crawled out of the plastic wrap, I knew it should be a horror movie."

"Of course, it's okay to say it's a sci-fi movie, after all, a flying saucer stole the picture from the beginning!"

In the end, Han Li was almost insane.

"So even though I watched the whole movie in the cinema, I didn't realize what kind of movie it was until it came out!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei, who was making coffee, couldn't help but shook his head with a laugh.

"What's so difficult about it? If it's what you said, wouldn't it be a comedy?"

"Hahaha~~ Anyway, it sounds pretty fun to me!"

Of course, ridicule is ridicule.

After listening to Han Li's words, Gao Fei almost understood the problem of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

If it's what Han Li said, then this film really can't be regarded as a movie.

At best, it can only be regarded as a collection of commercial movie clips.

Because it has neither theme, nor characters, nor a complete story!

This is a film stitched together by a layman.

Therefore, no matter how gorgeous its movie picture is, how much it looks like a movie, garbage is garbage after all!

It's just that Gao Fei doesn't quite understand it.

This project is said to have been in preparation for three years and has been approved since 2011.

The investment is as high as 1.6 million yuan, and staff from 33 countries participated in the creation.

With such a luxurious lineup in front of and behind the scenes, how could you find a layman to be the director?

Gao Fei has been puzzled by this question.

After all, isn't it a waste of money to hand over such a cast and investment to a layman to direct?

Which badass investor can do such a stupid thing?
However, after a few days, Gao Fei realized that the original investor was actually the director himself.

(⊙o⊙)...well, that makes more sense!
Speaking of the project "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", although it was claimed to be jointly produced by China Film, Paige Taihe, Media Asia, Phoenix Satellite TV and China Movie Channel during the promotion.

But in fact the main investor is only Paige Taihe, and the rest are just pulled over to the platform.

The reason why this project was born is also because of Sun Jianjun, the president of Paige Taihe, who tried his best to match.

So in fact, Mr. Sun is the soul of the project "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

And when the project was first approved, it was originally intended to be co-directed by Chinese and American directors, and jointly produced by international film teams such as China, the United States, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, and finally to be collectively performed by big-name stars from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the producer had great ambitions.

By the way, they also created a new movie term for this purpose:
Make every effort to create the first "fashion action agent blockbuster" in the history of Chinese film.

Uh~ Although I don't really understand what they are talking about, but it is indeed a bit unclear at first glance.

It's just that Naihe, as the founder, Sun Jianjun, has always had a Chinese-style blockbuster dream in his heart, and has an elusive complex for transnational shooting and big landscapes.

So I have always emphasized the need to make Chinese-style blockbusters.

But what kind of Chinese blockbuster he is talking about, only he knows.

So after many exchanges, the Korean director, American director and screenwriter successively invited by the film studio all left because of differences with President Sun Jianjun.

Even in the end, even the styling design was out of character.

So after successfully disintegrating the main creative team, Mr. Sun finally decided to end in person.

Although before that, he only participated in the planning and production of some variety shows, documentaries, and TV drama projects as a producer.

But the fact is such nonsense, even if Sun Jianjun has never made a movie.

But he still became the only director, the only screenwriter, and the only visual effects director of the film.

He even directs the costumes of the actors.

If it weren't for this, Lin Zhiling would not have COS'd more than ten looks such as nurse, nun, bride, royal lady, stewardess, and secret agent in less than 10 minutes of appearance.

Well, I have to say that Mr. Sun has done a pretty good job in this regard.

But that's the "only" advantage!

On the phone, facing Gao Fei's curious questioning, Hua Tsai on the opposite side couldn't help but complained:

"Oh~ I can't help it, it wasn't like this when I first signed the contract."

"At that time, the script was okay, the team was okay, and the salary was good, so I signed it."

"If I had known that Mr. Sun was the director, I wouldn't have taken it if I was killed!"

Speaking of this, Hua Tsai also teased Gao Fei in turn.

"After all, not all CEOs know movies like you!"

"So Mr. Gao, if you have any good projects, remember to consider me, an old man, I'm very cheap!"

"Yes, yes, you are the cheapest!"

Gao Fei immediately said perfunctorily with a helpless smile when he heard the words.

It was only after he got acquainted with Hua Tsai that he realized that this guy was actually quite funny in private.

Especially the mentality, which is almost the same as that of young people, and even some young people may not have it and are lively.

For example, the spit he made on the phone just now was quite vicious.

"You have prepared for three years, and you have created Zhouyi Film and Television, which has the largest market value in the film and television industry.

"Director Sun has been preparing for three years. What happened in the end? He made a "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"!"

"Hey~ The gap between people is sometimes bigger than people and dogs!"

Uh~ Although these words are a bit venomous, Gao Fei is so happy to hear them!
O(∩_∩)O haha~ so I am still an old-timer with virtue and art!
But then again, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" really broke the hearts of the audience this time.

Before entering the cinema, many audiences are still looking forward to this film due to the influence of the promotional film and the film lineup.

Although Lin Zhiling's movie reputation is a bit bad, the reputation of the rest of the actors is still good.

Especially Zhang Jingchu and Tong Dawei, because of the popularity of "Partners in China", they also received a lot of bonuses.

Therefore, many viewers are affected by this, thinking that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will not be so bad no matter how bad it is.

But I didn't expect that after two hours, the audience would all have a feeling of being stuck in their throats.

After the screening, they complained about being cheated out of righteous indignation.

There is a comment on Douban that is the most extreme and the most classic.

Here's what it says:

Even if I tried all the metaphors and used all the words, it was not enough to describe its rottenness.

Because in front of "Tianji Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", all the words are so pale and powerless.

Compared to this movie, I even started to feel that "The Promise" is not so rubbish!
It can be said that how lively the producer's hype was before, how fierce the audience's backlash is now.

The predicament of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is not enough to describe the predicament of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by using highs and lows, and word-of-mouth plummeting.

It's just that the more unlucky "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was, the happier Zhou Yi was.

……

At the internal regular meeting of Zhouyi, Han Li stood in front of the projector with a resolute and calm face and analyzed:

"According to our preliminary analysis, the reason why "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth" experienced an abnormal state of box office decline this time, and it lasted for a long time, there are four main reasons:
First, it is naturally because the quality of our movies is hard enough, which is the most basic;
Second, it is because of the appropriate publicity strategy;
Ha ha, I think I still have a little credit for this.

Thirdly, it was also affected by Sissi's unexpected assist a while ago;
While the turmoil wasn't very boss-friendly, it did contribute significantly to the spread of both films.

As for the last point, it’s because of the hip pull in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". "

Having said that, Han Li couldn't help laughing and said:

"So I think we should really thank Director Sun!"

"If it weren't for him, the box office of our two movies wouldn't be so high!"

We must know that many disappointed viewers choose to watch movies in retaliation when they are angry.

That is, I chose to watch Gao Fei's movie to wash my eyes, after all, I was disgusted.

This makes the two films "Chinese Partner" and "To Youth" unexpectedly profitable.

As soon as Han Li said this, there was a burst of uncontrollable laughter in the conference room.

Even that guy Ning Hao was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and suggested that the company send a pennant of "sacrificing oneself for others" to thank Mr. Sun!
I have to say, this trick is really too bad!
But no matter how you say it, Director Sun really helped Zhou Yi a lot this time.

You must know that the summer file was originally a competition for hegemony among the top four.

But after Huang Xiaoming withdrew with "A Romantic Affair", it became the Three Kingdoms.

And after "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" also pulls the hips, wouldn't it become Zhouyi that is thriving!

Therefore, this wave of Zhouyi is really a win!

You must know that this is the prime time of the summer vacation, almost monopolizing the schedule for half a month!
If the situation between Zhouyi and "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" hadn't been too scary, it wouldn't have frightened the rest of the filmmakers from getting involved.

So Gao Fei was really moved by what Director Sun did this time!
After all, he rushed to work hard, but when the harvest came, he retreated perfectly.

Tsk tsk~ That's Gao Fei's confidant, otherwise he would have to invite Director Sun to the celebration banquet.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

After Han Li finished speaking, Gao Fei didn't hesitate anymore, Dang even knocked on the table casually and said with a light smile:
"The analysis meeting held today is just to let everyone understand that success is certainly gratifying, but there are also flukes in it."

"So in the future, we still have to make content down-to-earth, and don't get lost!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After all, Gao Fei left first.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao followed immediately.

In fact, Ning Hao has been busy with the post-editing of "Heart Blossoms on the Road".

If it hadn't been for Zhou Yi's release of David's satellite this time, he might not have come out of the editing room.

"Chinese Partner" box office 7.94 million;
"To Youth" has a final box office of 9.93 million.

Although the box office of the two films is not as good as "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" at the beginning of the year.

But it is enough to rank third or fourth in the box office rankings of Chinese-language movies.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yi produced two movies with both box office and word-of-mouth success in one go, which already proved Zhou Yi's strength in film and television production!

It can be said that this is even more shocking than when "Tai囧" won the box office rankings, and shocked many people in the industry.

Because one success can be said to be a fluke, but if you can succeed one after another, then it can only be due to your strength!
Therefore, as soon as the news that Zhouyi Film and Television was preparing to hold a celebration banquet came out, many people began to grab invitations.

Of course, Ning Hao didn't care about the celebration banquet.

Compared with this superficial article, Ning Hao was even more puzzled about the meaning of the inspection and study document that Gao Fei handed him!
……

In the CEO's office, before Gao Fei sat down, Ning Hao couldn't wait to ask:
"Old Gao, what the hell are you doing?"

"There are a lot of things going on in my country, how can I be sent to Hollywood with one shot?"

Gao Fei immediately scolded with a grin when he heard the words:
"You bastard, don't give me a cheap price and act like a good boy. Others haven't had a chance to go there yet!"

After finishing speaking, before Ning Hao could babble any further, Gao Fei looked straight and said:

"Let me tell you straight, this has nothing to do with me."

"This is Boss Han's kindness. He will retire next year. Before he leaves, he wants to do something for Huaxia Films."

After all, Gao Fei took out a list from the drawer and put it in front of him.

"Including you, Mr. Han is going to send five people there this time for half a year."

"When you get there, the people from Warner will receive you and let you have an overall understanding of the film industry model in Hollywood."

"Boss Han didn't expect you to make any achievements in the future, but just wanted to give you young filmmakers a way to go further in the future."

"So you must not let down Mr. Han's painstaking efforts!"

Speaking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

After all, if he didn't have true love for Huaxia movies, how could Han Sanpin do such a thing of "the former planted trees and the latter enjoyed the shade"!
And although Lao Han is a bit domineering, he has indeed contributed a lot to Huaxia Film's achievements today.

At least in some respects, it takes a lot of courage and determination not to be afraid of making mistakes and to try!
Ning Hao did not expect that there would be such an inside story about this matter.

So after a moment of silence, he immediately nodded slightly and left without saying anything.
