China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 526 Grading System and Film Screening [Two in One]

Office of the Director of Operations for Starry Sky Image.

"Director Liu, this is the itinerary we checked with Legendary Pictures. The electronic version has been sent to Zhang Xin's email. You can take a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, our operations department will communicate with them and make adjustments in a timely manner."

Operations Director Guo Ming placed a printed itinerary in front of Liu Yifei, turned around and returned to his seat.

"Director Guo, please don't call me that. I'm so embarrassed."

When Liu Yifei heard what Guo Ming called her, she waved her hands quickly. Although she is indeed one of the major shareholders accounting for 20%, part of the main body of the listing is Star International, not Star Image.

Although there is still one management, and Sun Yi is working in one team and two departments, after all, the operations director is still listed in Starry Sky Image. Calling him Director Liu is a bit unfair, which arouses Xiao Nizi's shame. .

"Then I'll call you Miss Liu."

".okay."

In fact, Liu Yifei had told Guo Ming a long time ago that just calling her Yifei was fine. There was no need to call her so formally. But after several times, Guo Ming was still like this, so she could only let it go.

After attending the Golden Rooster Awards in Nanchang, she received a notice from the company's operations department that her schedule to join the "Inception" crew in November was finalized. Normally, this kind of thing does not require her to pay attention to, Assistant The team can solve it perfectly.

But today Sun Yi went to China Film Group for business. She really didn't have much fun at home, so she simply came to the company to take a look and deal with this matter.

"By the way, Director Guo, I heard that Senior Sister Yu wants to cast me in a film?"

"Uh, I'm not sure about this."

"Isn't it? I heard Senior Sister Yu mention it to me before. It can't be wrong."

"Yes."

Guo Ming is now one of the top two. Originally, it was a small matter of scheduling, and there was no need for the landlady to take action personally. Who knows what kind of wind was blowing today that brought this god here.

You're already here, so just treat him well, but who knows, he asked about Director Yu's new film again.

What did this make him say?

Sun Yi, the big boss, obviously knew about it, but he didn't want Liu Yifei to star because of character image issues, so he didn't tell her.

What's good now? Liu Yifei asked one of his subordinates in the middle. To be honest, this is equivalent to selling out the boss. He might be wearing a shoestring in the future. If you don't tell the truth, he is still facing the boss's wife. Unfortunately, there will still be pillow trend in the future.

This question is too difficult.

"Director Yu has indeed taken a liking to one of the company's films and is preparing a crew, but the specific casting issue has not yet been resolved."

Guo Ming had no choice but to tell half the truth and half the lies.

Liu Yifei definitely doesn't know Guo Ming's thoughts. Yu Feihong did mention this movie to her before, but he only said that the heroine is suitable for her, and did not say absolutely. She just asked curiously today, After hearing what Guo Ming said, she asked again.

"Then what genre is this film? Am I suitable for it?"

Liu Yifei was really busy today, full of curiosity, which made Guo Ming very helpless.

Do you think you and I can't go home and have sex under the covers? Why do you have to ask me this question?

"It's about urban love. I personally don't think the heroine is suitable for you."

"Oh?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened and she asked,

"Why doesn't it fit?"

Oops, where do so many come from?

Guo Ming now wanted to die. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. His eyes kept flickering as he mentally arranged his words for a while.

After drinking "Zi Liu" "Zi Liu" for half a minute, he put down the tea cup and explained to Liu Yifei:

"The main issue is positioning. The company has introduced the Hollywood production process. From the beginning of project preparation, a film will be graded according to the subject matter, script, and investment size. There are three levels: A, B, and C."

"For example, "Pacific Rim" that the boss is currently filming is an A-level production, and the actors it needs to match are also the top priority, such as you."

"As for Director Yu's film, the company has confirmed it to be B-rated. Under normal circumstances, the company's top actors will not be arranged."

Guo Ming explained to Liu Yifei from the perspective of classification.

She understood a lot. She was at the top level in the company and should be qualified for A-level production. Participating in B-level production was a waste of resources.

But, no, the top one should be Sister Xun, right?

Liu Yifei pointed her slender finger at herself and asked Guo Ming doubtfully: "I am the top one, shouldn't I be Sister Xun?"

"No, the company's current actress echelon is somewhat divided into two levels. You and Miss Zhou Xun are both A-level, Miss Chen Shu is B-level, and the remaining Wan Qian and Gao Ye are C-level."

In the process of industrializing movie recommendations, Starry Sky Image has begun to gradually introduce Hollywood production processes. Not only projects, but also all cast and crew are graded internally, just like Internet companies' P1, P2, and P3.

What kind of project, what kind of cast and crew, everything is clear, which greatly improves efficiency.

But Starry Sky’s current cast of actors is also not very healthy, especially actresses.

Normally speaking, the actor echelon of a film and television company should be a pyramid shape with a few at the top and many at the bottom. No matter how bad it is, it is a spindle shape with a few at the top, a middle and a few at the bottom. However, due to the shortcomings of the company's internal directors and Sun Yi's outstanding performance, Liu Yifei has improved so fast, especially in terms of commercial value, that no one in the entire starry sky can match her.

Originally, based on overall strength, she should be a B-level actor ranked below Zhou Xun, but in less than a year, "Star You", a hit all over the country, coupled with "Shelter", "Untouchable" and", relying on her own business attributes, she has become as good as Zhou Xun. The entire starry sky actor echelon has become a dumbbell-shaped structure with big ends and a small middle.

"Is it possible for Wan Qian and Gao Ye to fill in and star in Senior Sister Yu's film?" Liu Yifei asked again.

Guo Minglue pondered, shook his head and said: "Normally, this is not done, because the specific level classification has very strict inspection indicators. When low-level actors are not well-known and have insufficient box office appeal, matching high-level projects is It’s a delaying behavior and a waste of resources.”

"Of course, the overall principle is to focus on our own people. Only under special circumstances will we now audition actors from outside."

"Oh"

Liu Yifei nodded understandingly, now she understood everything.

"In that case, does our company currently lack B-level actors, that is, those who are worse than me in all aspects?"

Guo Ming smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "This is indeed true."

He felt that the boss lady was reflecting that he, the artist director, was not doing his job well enough and that there was a gap in the artist echelon.

Liu Yifei didn't see Guo Ming's bitter expression. On the contrary, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, her button-like eyes brightened slightly, her pink lips pursed slightly, and her little head was so mysterious that she didn't know what she was thinking.

At the same time, China Film Group Distribution Center.

"Director Han, this is the director of the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, Wang Shaojun, my dad's old comrade, and my uncle Wang."

"Director Wang." "Director Han."

"Hahaha, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you." "Thank you, Director Han, for supporting our army work."

"Hey, Director Wang, what are you talking about? The military and civilians are one family, that's what they should be."

Today is the last preview meeting before "Wings in the Sky" is finalized. As long as there are no major problems, it will basically be the final version for release. Therefore, Wang Shaojun, one of the main producers, and Han Sanping, the boss of the distributor China Film Group, at the same time Attend.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the three of them walked into the screening theater.

"Mr. Sun, I haven't congratulated you for winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director."

"Hey, Director Han, are you kidding? I'm just lucky."

Han Sanping found a sofa and sat down, took out the cigarette case and touched one, then handed the cigarette case to Sun Yi and Wang Shaojun. While lighting it, he smiled and cursed: "Luck? Why haven't I seen anyone else have good luck? That's too much." Humility is pride.”

Wang Shaojun took off his military cap and placed it firmly on the coffee table. He took Han Sanping's cigarette, lit it, and also smiled:

"Director Han is right. I think this guy's tail is starting to rise to the sky now."

"Hahaha"

"hehe."

Sun Yi himself was also happy.

The two bosses made fun of him, but he had no temper at all.

no way.

One has supported him in every possible way since his debut and has been kind to him, and the other is his father's comrade-in-arms and an elder in the family. He is like a monkey trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain, unable to make waves at all.

"Okay, okay, let's watch the movie."

The film is 100 minutes in total, which is the final length that Sun Yi cut and re-edited. Before it was officially completed, Michael worked hard to get a perfect Christmas vacation before he attended the Golden Rooster Awards.

The special effects and war scenes of the entire film are completely comparable to "Pearl Harbor", and even the processing of some scenes is slightly superior.

The more Han Sanping looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. It was not that he had never seen the world, but that his original expectations were really not that high.

It's really surprising that this domestic special effect can achieve this level.

Sun Yi couldn't stop praising the movie during the entire movie, which made Sun Yi feel a little embarrassed.

This is no longer possible. Then if you see the finished film of "Pacific Rim", you won't cry.

Compared with Han Sanping, Wang Shaohua is not so proficient in the specific details of film and television production. He is more concerned about the story and narrative structure of the movie like ordinary viewers.

At the same time, as an Air Force soldier, I saw the first generation of Air Force ancestors fighting and dying heroically for the country on the battlefield, which aroused great emotional resonance. When the majestic background music played, I even got red-eyed.

Sun Yi attaches great importance to this film, not only because it is the first time that Sun Yi did not completely copy his previous life, but relied on his own experience in this life to independently create and direct the film. Moreover, because of the theme of the movie Anti-Japanese Martyrs, he must not be careless and strive for excellence.

The background music for the war scenes in the movie was directly sourced from the Hollywood soundtrack team, which is still the best, Hans, the master of loneliness.

One song was adapted from the background English attack variation in "Pearl Harbor", and two songs were created based on the melodies extracted from Sun Yi's memories of his previous life. These three songs cost Sun Yi a total of 100 million US dollars.

If it’s a pure new creation, no one will be interested in you if you don’t have $200 million.

However, so far, the effect is indeed very good.

The adapted attack is combined with the footage of Little RB launching the attack. It is low and depressing, and combined with the tense timbre of the dongxiao, it vividly demonstrates the ferocity of the RBs, the dangers of the moment, and the cruelty of war.

"Okay, okay, very good, the movie is great."

After the movie was played, Wang Shaojun excitedly held Sun Yi's hand regardless of his seniority and thanked him repeatedly.

"I am now very much looking forward to the day when it will be officially released. The premiere will be handed over to us, and the director of our political department will also attend."

Damn it, this is a big leader, at least two flowers.

Sun Yi nodded repeatedly.

Hearing that the army attached great importance to it, Han Sanping was unambiguous and immediately promised Wang Shaohua:

"Director Wang, don't worry, we at China Film Group will do our best to promote the film and strive to deliver a satisfactory answer."

After saying that, he also called Wang Bo and ordered:

"This film follows the highest level of distribution standards. The first batch of copies, which cost more than 1000, were all produced within a month and sent to various theaters."

Wang Bo took out his notebook and wrote it down, then closed it and nodded solemnly, "Understood, Director Han."

Wang Shaohua was even more grateful, "Thank you to the comrades of China Film Group."

After leaving China Film, Sun Yi returned to Star Image, arranged for professionals to divide the distribution tasks of China Film and the premiere of Kongzheng, and then put the matter of "Wings in the Sky" aside.

Now that the movie is all finished, it all depends on its official release.

After sitting in the office for a while, Guo Ming knocked on the door and chatted with Sun Yi about Liu Yifei's affairs in the morning.

After hearing this, Sun Yi didn't think too much. He thought that his girlfriend might have a different status now. She had the status of a major shareholder, which gave her a sense of responsibility and started to pay attention to the company's affairs.

This is a good thing. Although he thinks this is just three points of passion, he will do it step by step.

In the following days, Sun Yi began to reshoot the scenes of "Huan Tai". Because the actors had participated in simulation training many times and were already very familiar with the motion capture system and the mechanical cockpit, the filming progressed quickly.

Especially Xiao Nizi, who has a background as an action actress, and the difficulty of the scenes is not high. Now she can master it very easily. It took less than a week to finish filming her scenes.

He thought she would stay with him at the Starry Sky Digital Base in Huairou, but he unexpectedly ran away, leaving Sun Yi helpless.

It was later found out that Xiao Nizi hung out with Zhou Xun every now and then for three days without knowing what she was doing. She was not at home until Sun Yi finished filming "Huan Tai" and returned to the capital.

Sun Yi wondered for a moment whether there was a dog outside Xiao Nizi~

Yang Mi had just finished an announcement and was sitting in the nanny's car behind closed doors to relax.

Suddenly the cell phone rang.

It's her personal, private phone.

He opened his handbag and took it out, looked at the caller number, and was stunned for a moment. He was in a daze for a long time, adjusted his expression, and then pressed the answer button.

"Uh ok, what time is it and where are you?"
