China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 501: Domestic Protection Month and Watching Movies [-in-]

In the domestic film market, there is a saying of "Domestic Film Protection Month".

It was first reported by relevant media that in 2004, the National Film Administration issued an oral instruction. From the perspective of supporting domestic films, it hoped that major theater chains and cinemas across the country would support domestic films. The notice was scheduled to be from June 6 to During July 10, the introduction of overseas blockbusters is not encouraged, and domestic films will be the main ones nationwide.

China Film Group, which is responsible for the import and release of overseas blockbusters, has well understood the relevant instructions from its superiors.

Therefore, since 04, at this time of year, there will be an unwritten rule that no overseas imported blockbusters will be released. Gradually, this period of time has been called "Domestic Film Protection Month" by the industry.

With the commercial development of the domestic film market and the rise of private film and television companies, everyone has found that the June to July schedule is not very good.

Just scratching the beginning of the summer season does not reflect the support for domestic films.

So they wrote letters one after another, asking if the time could be moved.

After several discussions, the time for the Domestic Film Protection Month is no longer fixed. The specific start and end times vary every year, but what is certain is that this period generally falls between June and August, which is the peak period of movie viewing. 's summer schedule.

But slowly problems appeared again.

The film and television companies are happy, but movie fans and theaters are not.

First of all, in the first few years of the implementation of the Protection Month, many movie fans believed that it did not have much support and assistance for Chinese-language films themselves.

I thought it would improve domestic films, but unexpectedly it turned into a concentration camp for bad films. Domestic directors regard Protecting Moon as a cover-up existence, and they are fearless and will film whatever they want.

Anyway, it is scheduled to be released, and there are no competitors yet.

There are no big-name stars to join, no gorgeous special effects, no large investment, the storyline is not coherent, the angle is not novel enough, it is still the same old thing.

For these films, many theater chains have trouble speaking. Many imported blockbusters were excluded from the protection month, which reduced the box office of theaters a lot, resulting in less optimistic box office revenue, and even some theater chains suffered varying degrees of losses.

From the perspective of theater chains, Domestic Film Protection Month is a "disaster month" for many theater chains.

Of course, it is undeniable that there are still some outstanding directors who are working hard to give audiences more opportunities to get in touch with Chinese films. At the same time, they also encourage newcomers in the domestic film industry, so that domestic films have new blood and ensure that Sustainable Development in the Film Industry.

The future "Monster Hunt" and "Wolf Warrior 2" both won word-of-mouth and box office success during the domestic production protection month.

This year’s Domestic Protection Month has indeed made many theaters a lot of money.

First, Sun Yi's "The Intouchables" got off to a good start, kicking off the Domestic Protection Month and breaking the box office record for domestic movies in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, "Love Is Afterlife" by new director Yu Feihong took over the baton with a high profile under the vigorous promotion of Star Video. On the first day of its release, the first-day box office exceeded RMB 1500 million.

The movie's reputation exploded, with a rating of 8.0.

The box office in the first week exceeded 4000 million. Although it can't compare with Sun Yi's "Untouchable", it can be seen with the naked eye that there is no problem in returning to the original.

Huairou Film and Television Base, the building complex of the Republic of China.

In a girl's boudoir during the Republic of China, Liu Yifei was sitting at her desk, writing and writing.

On the desk are a dressing box from the Republic of China period, an old-fashioned electric lamp, and a black-and-white photo of her.

In the photo, Liu Yifei wears big braids, a bamboo cloth top, and a black skirt. She has curved eyebrows and a sweet smile. She has a beauty that belongs to that era.

Director of photography Liu Jun controlled the advancement of the camera and gave her a close-up. Sun Yi sat behind the monitor, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, watching intently.

On the desk, Liu Yifei had a peach blossom face, her curved eyelashes were trembling playfully, and she would stop writing from time to time. Sometimes her eyes would pause for a moment, biting the tip of her pen and smiling timidly, as if she was thinking of her sweetheart.

The camera continues to move to the desk.

On the pale white letter paper, a beautiful small word jumped out.

"I am like a little swallow, and you are like a flying eagle."

"Okay, pass!"

Sun Yi took the intercom and shouted.

Liu Yifei jumped up and walked to Sun Yi.

"show me."

Sun Yi turned on the monitor's playback and the two watched together.

After watching it, Liu Yifei raised her face and asked Sun Yi: "How was my performance?"

That little expression of expectation is just like writing "Come on, praise me, come on, praise me."

Sun Yi gave her a thumbs up and said with approval:

"It's great. The feeling of thinking about the one you love is well presented, and the shy blush is just right."

After Liu Yifei heard this, she pursed her lips happily and saw that her teeth were about to be exposed.

Looking at Xiao Nizi's appearance, Sun Yi joked again: "I'm very curious, how do you act with this shy expression? It can be regarded as a textbook level. Without makeup, I feel pity for this little pink face. .”

Liu Yifei raised her lips and raised her eyebrows at Sun Yi.

"Don't tell you."

This arrogant little expression.

Sun Yi couldn't help but continued to joke:

"Okay, okay, you have a unique skill. It's amazing. I've been doing it all these days. Otherwise, I'll call you Yitiaofei from now on."

The smile on Liu Yifei's face dropped, she glanced at Sun Yi angrily, and said dissatisfied: "What the hell, it's so unpleasant."

Sun Yi laughed.

"Hiss, Ichijou Fei is not good. It's not good to call Ichijou Akane. Let me think about it. Ichijou Sen doesn't sound good and has no momentum. Tsk tsk. Fairy sister, um~ Ichijou sister, let's call you Ichijou sister from now on. What? Sample?"

"Gee, you're so annoying."

Hearing this name, Liu Yifei couldn't laugh or cry, so she raised her pink fist and hit Sun Yi.

Sun Yi repeatedly waved his hand to admit his mistake.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Apologise!"

"I'm sorry, Ichijou-san."

"Oh~~ I'm going to die."

"Hahaha"

Liu Jun put away the camera, watched the two people start to fight, and shook his head silently.

here we go again.

The filming plan for this scene ended early, and the entire crew had only two scenes left. Seeing the sun setting, they simply skipped the scene transition today and got off work early.

The indoor scene was expected to be filmed for half a month, but it only took ten days now. It can be completed in two days at most. The advance progress is attributed to Liu Yifei's extraordinary performance.

The scenes in the past few days have all been one-sided, and Sun Yi can't find anything wrong with them.

After practicing in several movies and TV dramas, Liu Yifei's acting skills have improved rapidly, and she can now use various expressions and emotions well. Coupled with her own understanding of the role, the overall completion is very good.

If you want to make a comparison vividly.

That is, now her acting skills have reached the peak level ten years later, when she was in her thirties. She is no longer limited to a few types of characters, and can use them freely according to her own understanding of the characters.

She could give Sun Yi whatever he wanted, and she did it very well.

The crew called it a day and packed everything up in a short while. The equipment was packed into trucks and the venue will be changed tomorrow.

After bidding farewell to the staff one by one, Sun Yi finally waited for Xiao Nizi who had finished changing her clothes.

He wore sunglasses on his face, a slim-fitting short-waisted cartoon T-shirt, a pair of aqua blue cropped jeans, and crystal sandals on his feet.

Seeing Sun Yi waiting in front of the door, he stomped down the steps. His light pink nail polish reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, which was particularly eye-catching. "Xinxin, I'm leaving. Please be safe on your way back. Remember to send me a text message when you get home."

The assistant Zhang Xin was holding her satchel and waving to the two of them.

"I know, Sister Fei, Brother Yi, see you tomorrow. Please go slower on the road. I wish you a pleasant night."

Liu Yifei's face turned red and she glared at Zhang Xin.

How dare you make fun of me.

Zhang Xin made a face with a smile, turned around and ran away.

"You can't stop talking without blocking it."

Sun Yi put his arms around Xiao Nizi's waist, and the smooth touch on his hand made people's hearts ache. He said to Liu Yifei with a smile: "She's right. I wanted to spend a pleasant night."

Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yi, took off Sun Yi's big hand on her waist, pretended to struggle, and said angrily: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, and I won't let you succeed so easily."

Sun Yi chuckled, put more strength in his hands, took Xiao Nizi into his arms, lowered his head slightly, leaned into her ear, and said softly:

"That's no good, I miss you."

"Virtue depends on your performance."

"We'll finish work early today. Tell us what you want to do. I'll sacrifice my life to accompany the gods."

Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought for a while, with an inexplicable thought emerging from her eyes.

"Well~~~ I haven't gone to the theater to watch a movie for a long time. Come watch a movie with me."

"Okay, which one should I look at?"

"Isn't Sister Yu's "Love Is Afterlife" now showing? Just watch this."

Sun Yi snapped his fingers, nodded and said, "Let's go."

Sun Yi drove an Audi Q5 with Xiao Nizi to the city. The car was sent by Audi company, and the original A6 was given to the company.

Huairou Film and Television Base is not far or near from the capital, 50 kilometers, about an hour's drive. If the crew has night scenes, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei usually live there.

The work ended early today, and the two simply returned to the capital.

After moving into the new house, I didn’t live there for a few days. I only used the bed in the bedroom. I haven’t experienced other areas yet, so I’m really looking forward to it.

The two chose Star International Cinema, a company owned by the company.

After all, it is our own company, so if there is any commotion among fans, it can be stopped in time.

In fact, with their current status, they can definitely guarantee the show.

But Liu Yifei didn't like it. She just wanted to watch a movie with Sun Yi in the cinema with popcorn in hand like an ordinary couple. What she wanted was this kind of human atmosphere.

Sun Yi also liked it.

After all, I haven’t experienced it yet.

How exciting.

It's a dim place, it's dark, whatever other couples do, they can do too~

After a simple dinner, we found the staff and chose a session with fewer people and a more remote location, and then the two of them walked in holding hands.

Of course, hats, masks, and sunglasses are still essential when entering the venue.

In fact, since Liu Yifei joined Star and then Star International Cinemas was established, many local fairy fans in Beijing have regarded Star International Cinema as a base for watching movies. All they want is to be able to watch movies with their idol, the fairy sister. Let's have a chance encounter that just comes.

However, it sounds quite depressing. So far, apart from related premieres or events, this is Liu Yifei's first time watching a movie here as an ordinary movie fan.

I don’t know if fans will discover it.

The two chose the couple's room, which had double sofas next to each other, which was very high-end.

The location is in the third row from the bottom. I am lucky today. No one comes to this special location. With the two of them as the center of the circle, the nearest people are three rows away.

The movie hasn't started yet, there are advertisements on the screen, and the two of them are waiting hand in hand.

Suddenly, the theater switched to a tense background music.

The screen is slightly darker.

Wang Zhiwen appeared with a gloomy look on his face.

"That woman was very tough. She tried every means but didn't say anything."

The scene switched and it was still him, this time he was furious.

"Let's simply punish them all. It is better to kill them by mistake than to release them by mistake!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Songwen appeared with a serious face.

"We are all in the same boat. We will live and die together. You should take care of yourself."

After all, Huang Xiaoming put on a mask and selected various tools. On the other side of the camera was Chen Shu with his shoulders exposed and trembling all over. Huang Xiaoming said in a neutral tone like a foreigner:

"I noticed you the first time I saw you. You have narrow forehead bones, high cheekbones, thin and narrow nasal bones, deep eye sockets, and prominent horizontal lines on your face. Women with this kind of face are very scheming, but they always make a certain appearance on the surface. Act like you are inviolable, you have been acting."

The screen switches again.

The narration sounded: "The nation is in danger. We can only risk our lives to save the situation. The professional life of espionage work is life. Preserving our own lives is more important than anything else."

In the last scene, Zhou Xun is wearing a cheongsam and smoking a cigarette.

"I am leaving this record in purgatory. My dear people, I am so merciless to you because the nation is on the verge of survival. We can only risk our lives to save it. My body is about to perish, and my soul is about to perish. But he will be with you.”

"On August 8, "The Wind" will be released in full theaters."

This is the release trailer of the movie "The Wind". Today is the 24th, less than a week before the movie is released, and all aspects of publicity have already begun.

The auditorium resounded with whispers from the audience in the front row.

"This movie is good, what kind of movie is it?"

"Looks like anti-Japanese."

"No, it's an intelligence film. I've seen the promotion. It's also produced by Starry Sky, but it's not directed by Sun Yi. He's the producer."

"Oh, that should be good, let's see then."

Fans in the front row were talking a lot, while Liu Yifei in the back row curled her lips with regret.

At first, she almost participated in this movie, but now it seems that she feels a bit uncomfortable.

Sun Yi noticed it, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "It's okay, let's act better next time."

Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yi with bright eyes, and then nodded obediently.

She also knew in her heart that there was indeed a big gap between her acting skills and Sister Xun's at that time, and besides, the schedule was not suitable.

At this time, the lights in the theater dimmed.

"Love Has an Afterlife" will be screened soon.

Liu Yifei immediately changed her mood and excitedly took off her three-piece hat and mask set. She took off her sunglasses when she entered the theater, otherwise she would be more conspicuous while watching the movie with her sunglasses on.

After finishing the disguise, he actually took off his shoes, lifted them up directly, put them on Sun Yi's side, rested his head on Sun Yi's shoulders, and looked at him expectantly as if he were at home.
