China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 573: Approved and filmed in North America

Facts have proved that no matter what time, you really shouldn’t keep up with each other, especially when you can’t do it.

Detour is a good choice.

Sun Yi made minor modifications to the film, especially clarifying the national policy orientation of the film, and blurring the ending. The pesticide bottles are still there, but the labels and patterns were directly blurred by him.

Moreover, in the last scene of Ma Youtie lying on the bed, his slightly painful face after taking pesticides was cut out, and it ended with "wheat" flowers in his hands, which was regarded as leaving a suspense for the majority of movie fans.

Needless to say, after such a change, Sun Yi looks pretty good. What he wants is this kind of virtual and real tone to let movie fans take the initiative to guess.

The film was submitted for review according to the normal process. Sure enough, it was not rejected immediately, but went through the process normally. Under normal circumstances, once the formal process is followed, it means that Sun Yi's "detour" route was successful.

Of course, don't think that his "detour" route is so simple. Any director can succeed. The key point is that the director of the film is Sun Yi, and the General Administration also means it.

Try changing him to another director, it won't kill you.

At the third regular meeting of the Film Review Committee of the General Administration in April, "Into the Dust" was included in the agenda. Tong Gang was the first to speak in support. When other committee members saw that the director was Sun Yi, they didn't say anything else. I really felt that the film was a bit over the top, and after weighing it, I chose to reserve my opinion.

After all, Sun Yi's current reputation is really resounding. The last movie "Wings in the Sky", both in terms of box office results and the reputation of the movie, is a whole level higher than the current domestic movies, and it has a feeling of boosting national confidence. .

Nowadays, whenever domestic movies are mentioned on the Internet, Sun Yi's name cannot be avoided.

In fact, Sun Yi wanted to borrow a quote from Lao Guo.

"They are all supported by their peers."

He didn't do anything, he just concentrated on making movies, but he couldn't stand up to his peers who were worse than the others.

The meeting finally approved the arrangement, and the leaders of the General Administration did not express any special opinions.

On the one hand, I respect the opinions of the comrades in charge of the film branch. On the other hand, the leaders of the general bureau are also very high-ranking.

These young directors in China are all like teenagers in adolescence, with hormones bursting out. If you don't let them play sideways, they may cause something big for you at any time.

Especially Sun Yi now has both aspects. He is still young and must have hormones. His reputation at home and abroad is still growing day by day. He must consider the impact. As long as the movie is released, it will not cause any public opinion disturbance.

Probably not.
Just like that, the leaders of the General Administration nodded, and the film review was officially passed.

During the review period of this movie, Sun Yi did not wait in the country. He felt that there would be no big problem, so he started busy with the next stage of the company's affairs.

This year is the year when Starry Sky Image and the film industrialization are officially accepted, and Sun Yi can’t wait to seize every minute.

He took Liu Yifei on a trip to North America, along with Xin Yukun and some Starry Sky staff.

The first is to go to the digital field and finally check the finished film effect of "Pacific Rim". The second is to go to North American Star Company to have a look. It is said that James Wan's "The Walking Dead" is very popular, and " "Into the Dust" is finished, then Xin Yukun's "Invisible Guest" should also hurry up.

You can't treat one favorably over the other, right?
As for Liu Yifei, she was just hanging out and hanging out.

California, digital realm.

As a coastal city, the temperature in Los Angeles in April is very pleasant. The body temperature is around 4 degrees, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Here, although Sun Yi and Liu Yifei are not unknown people, basically the media will not pay too much attention to them if there are no relevant works to be promoted, so they do not need to be fully armed and dress very casually.

"Boss, boss lady." After more than half a year, Sun Yi once again met Chen Tao, the once brilliant person in charge. During the more than half a year of working in North America, he completely changed his appearance. He wore a plaid shirt, jeans, and looked like a Silicon Valley programmer. dress up.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have been in charge of North America for more than half a year, and you have never even been home."

Sun Yi followed the Romans, and after shaking hands, he went up to hug Chen Tao and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

Chen Tao was a little excited. At first, he was thrown here in North America. He said in his heart that it was impossible not to complain. But later he found that this place is really suitable for a technical talent like him. There are countless novelties every day. Ideas burst out and you can put them into practice yourself.

"Boss, I'm not working hard. I've learned a lot of advanced technologies here. I dare say that our special effects team in Starry Sky is definitely second to none in the country."

"Ha, you're not promising. I arranged for you to come here just to let you compete with the domestic ones. You have to compete with the world's mainstream special effects companies."

"Ah, yes, our Starry Sky team alone can now fully participate in the production of various special effects. Some technical backbones have joined the R&D team in the digital field to develop the next-generation special effects engine."

Chen Tao scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, but he was still very proud when talking about his achievements in the past six months.

"Let's go and see how it turns out."

"Okay, boss, this way."

The total duration of the movie is 120 minutes. Although Sun Yi had paintings from his previous life in his mind, he still felt proud when he saw the movie he had made.

The special effects of the entire movie are almost the same as those in the previous movie, and the details are even more perfect. Even the plot that was criticized in the previous movie was thin, because he took over the background story of the previous movie "Shelter" and changed the narrative structure. , making the overall structure more compact and the plot more ups and downs.

How does he feel about this movie now and how satisfied is he with it.

Liu Yifei reluctantly took off her 3D glasses and looked at Sun Yi with half happiness and half disbelief.

"This, this is the effect we got after we finished acting in that machine head and shot it?"

Sun Yi nodded happily.

"This, this," Liu Yifei thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any words to describe it, and her face turned red with anxiety.

"A bit handsome?"

"Yes, yes, especially the scene where I wield the sword. When filming, you asked me to show that desperate and courageous feeling. I still remember that I had been brewing for this emotion for a long time. Now when I watch it with the finished film, really."

"So handsome~"

Liu Yifei bit her lip and smiled happily, which made Sun Yi feel relieved.

He is now looking forward to domestic movie fans seeing Xiao Nizi controlling a mecha and fighting monsters in the cinema. "How long will it take to be fully completed?"

After watching the finished film, Sun Yi took pictures directly and asked about the final production time of the film.

Chen Tao did some calculations and found that the music related to the movie has been matched. Now all he needs to do is add subtitles and the credits at the end.

"In about a week, we need to make the subtitles bilingual in Chinese and English. If you include English dubbing, it should be completed in less than a month."

Sun Yi nodded. The movie Starry Sky will be released simultaneously overseas. Taking advantage of the craze for 3D movies like "Avatar" at the beginning of the year, Starry Sky will expand its distribution capabilities and directly go abroad to expand overseas markets.

Most foreigners don't like to read subtitles, so dubbing is very necessary.

"Have you found the voice actor?"

"We've found it and can start at any time. The film and television industry in Hollywood is very developed and there are countless actors of all kinds." Chen Tao replied.

"I want to do my own voice."

Liu Yifei volunteered, which made Sun Yi a little surprised. He originally wanted to find a professional voice actor directly, which was convenient and could avoid some inappropriate pronunciation and intonation. However, he forgot that his wife had lived in the United States for many years and her spoken language was There is no problem at all, and now through singing and a lot of training, her line skills are no longer her shortcoming.

"Yeah, that's okay."

Sun Yi readily agreed. It was rare for such a lazy daughter-in-law to take the initiative to find a job, so she couldn't be discouraged.

Leaving Liu Yifei in the digital field, with assistants Zhang Xin and Chen Tao taking care of her, Sun Yi took Xin Yukun and the rest of the team to North American Starry Sky Pictures.

"Ah, my dear friend, I welcome you very, very, very much."

John was wearing a designer suit, holding a cigar in his mouth. The beard on his face was trimmed very coquettishly. He looked like a playboy and hugged Sun Yi.

Sun Yi looked disgusted and pushed him calmly.

"Hey, where is my dear Miss Crystal? I also want to see Miss Crystal's face again. That's what they say in Chinese, hahaha. Is she really not here? Oh, God, I'm so sad. ”

Sun Yi watched John finish his part, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said unhappily: "That's almost it, that's enough."

John immediately changed his face and bowed slightly in an aristocratic invitation, "Oh, welcome back my king."

Sun Yi rolled his eyes and almost died from the thunder, "Speak nicely."

"Boss, please come in."

John finally returned to his serious self. In fact, his time in the North American starry sky gave him a second spring in his life. Sun Yi was remotely commanding from China and only focused on the general direction. John handled all the details, so that he could He fully displayed his personal talents.

He has built overseas distribution capabilities for North American Stars. Although it is not as good as the traditional six major Hollywood companies, it is no longer unknown.

Over the past year, he has used the funds left by Sun Yi to acquire small-scale productions, horror, gore, and suspense movies from all over the world. Through cooperation with Netflix, he has focused on the combination of discs and themed theaters, making a lot of money. There was a lot of food.

The theme theater chain is a relatively popular term. It refers to some theater chains in North America that specialize in showing R-rated movies. They are roughly the same as the video theaters in earlier years.

The main thing is excitement.

Of course, this kind of distribution business is quite unpopular, and you can't deny that it does have the ability to distribute films. The six major Hollywood companies still value their own feathers. In this area of ​​business, they arrange for their subsidiaries to harvest, so The hostility towards foreign companies like North American Starry Sky is not that great.

The market in this area is also relatively complex. There is no unified standard, and it is greatly affected by regions and policies in different places. Therefore, North American Star has not been suppressed by the traditional six major players in this area, provided that it is not allowed to grow bigger.

The current distribution capacity is enough for Sun Yi. He has no ambition to challenge the traditional six majors in North America. That is something in the novel, at least not yet.

Of course, don’t underestimate this part of the profit. The United States may seem beautiful, but in fact most people are still middle and lower class, and there are many conflicts between different regions and immigrant groups. Such a society has given rise to a market for this type of film. , its income is not much higher than that of regular theater chains.

John Guang's profit commission from Starry Sky Pictures in North America this year was several million dollars. Otherwise, he would not have this attitude towards Sun Yi.

"Where's Ziren?"

"Oh, boss, he was editing a video just now, so I asked him to come out and greet him first. When the video can't be edited, boss, it's hard for you to come to North America."

Sun Yi looked at John with some humor and sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, money is a good thing.

However, we have to be on guard. When we return to China, discuss with Sister Lan and ask her to send a financial team to check the accounts, at least to ensure that there is nothing fishy on the surface.

John is a local resident here in North America and has his own network of contacts, but he can't watch him here at any time, so his restraint on him is actually very limited.

As long as he didn't lose the company's interests on the surface, Sun Yi didn't care about what he did in private. In a place like Hollywood, there were too many things under the water, and he didn't even dare to say that he could figure them out one by one, let alone Not to mention the remote control, so there is no need. Besides, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

“Last year, under your arrangement, boss, while expanding our distribution business, we also conducted in-depth exploration of the TV series business, and identified Netflix as our first partner. Thanks to your precise decision-making, Netflix is ​​in a At this critical moment of transformation, a lot of fresh film and television content is needed.”

"So, our "The Walking Dead" only previewed the first episode on Netflix, and it was well received. Now Netflix has signed a 200-season contract with us at a price of US$2 million per episode. Of course, Director Wen also Very meritorious.”

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, and Wen Ziren comes over after editing the film.

"Boss, long time no see."

"Haha, how are you? Are you comfortable in the company?"

"It's great, it's very free, and the company's team is also very professional. They can shoot whatever I want. Oh, by the way, speaking of this, my next script is ready. Boss, do you want to take a look?"

As soon as Wen Ziren met Sun Yi, he couldn't wait to chat about his script.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Sun Yi took it with a smile. He wanted to see if the book in Wen Ziren's hand was from the famous series.
　More than half of March has passed. Due to various reasons, the update was not good enough. In the last 3 days, I am going to work hard to make up for the outstanding debts. I am asking for monthly tickets from all my book friends. Thank you!
