China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 769: Can only have one child?
In late November, the weather changed suddenly. The first snow had fallen in Beijing and the temperature dropped below zero degrees.

At this time of year, most industries are making preparations to protect themselves from the cold and winter.

Only the film and television industry is booming.

The annual Lunar New Year movie season is about to begin.

And this year is full of suspense.

Because without Sun Yi, there would be no starry sky.

In previous years' Lunar New Year period, there were either commercial films directed by Sun Yi or fine masterpieces produced by Star Sky, which always took the biggest piece of the pie during the period.

Other film and television companies may not say it on the surface, but they definitely have their own ideas in their minds.

But this year is different. "Gravity", which was originally scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, was moved up to October by Sun Yi due to the Venice Film Festival and the North American market.

Several other works produced by Star Sky have not been completed yet.

This has resulted in this year's Lunar New Year holiday becoming a vacuum period for starry sky images.

Without Starry Sky Image, other film and television companies were so happy that they stepped up the promotion of their films, determined to grab the largest box office share during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

"Gravity" just ended its run a while ago after 45 days, and unsurprisingly, it once again won the box office championship in the Chinese film market.

With a box office revenue of 13.15 billion, it set a new box office record.

This makes major film and television companies feel more at ease.

If a movie with a box office of over 1 billion can be produced during the National Day holiday, then as the most important Lunar New Year holiday of the year, it would be a piece of cake for the movie to have a total box office of 20 to 30 billion.

It depends on how much each film can grab.

This year's Lunar New Year movie season is full of topics. Just counting domestic films, the first one is the main theme film "Qian Xuesen".

This ambitious work of Xi'an Film Studio invited Chen Kun and Zhang Yuqi to partner up to tell the story of Qian's life-long contributions to the country and the people.

By the way, Sun Yi had some ideas about this movie before, but unfortunately he couldn't arrange the schedule, so he had to give up in the end.

The second one is Zhang Guoshi’s masterpiece, The Flowers of War.

After waiting for so long, it’s finally going to be released.

Master Zhang's Chinese stories combined with the unique secrets of Hollywood's top actors are about to be shared with movie fans.

Following closely behind is "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" directed by Xu Ke.

This movie was invested by Star Sky, and its top actress Zhou Xun is the heroine of the film.

Sun Yi is the one who pays the most attention to this movie.

Apart from these three, the other films, although also released during the Lunar New Year period, basically play supporting roles. Even "Speed ​​Angels" starring Liu Ruoying, Tang Wei, Lin Zhiying, and Cecilia Cheung, in Sun Yi's opinion, is more of a gimmick than a real film.

It's not enough to fight at all.

The battle of publicity and promotion began.

At first everyone was quite reserved.

Xi'an Film Studio promotes its propaganda around the main theme and positive energy.

And Zhang Weiping of the new picture is still boasting in the same "three-axe" style.

Who are you blowing for? For Lao Zhang.

Something like Chinese films cannot leave Lao Zhang, and Chinese audiences cannot leave Lao Zhang's movies and wait.

I just want to tell everyone that Master Zhang has a new movie out. If you don’t watch it, you’re not a qualified Chinese movie fan.

As for Xu Laoguai, his main focus is emotion.

The sentiments of Jet Li, the sentiments of new-style martial arts, plus a little bit of 3D special effects technology promotion with starry sky images.

In this first wave of publicity, everyone was fairly evenly matched, with the Xi'an Film Studio being at a slight disadvantage. After all, it was a large, established state-owned studio and was relatively reserved in this regard. Furthermore, Mr. Qian's story did not allow them to engage in much entertainment-oriented publicity.

This is the bottom line.

When the second wave of propaganda continued, Zhang Weiping used every possible means.

A short essay titled "My Sex Scene with Bale" quickly became a hit on the Internet.

"I'm not a professional actor, and I've never taken off my clothes in front of strangers, especially in a passionate scene, which is hard for me to accept."

"Today's scene is the sex scene between Bell and me. I only received the notice of this additional scene yesterday. Last night, the director talked to me alone about this scene. He felt that the previous scene lacked a bit of passion, which is also an indispensable part of this movie and will add a lot of points to the characters of Yu Mo and John Miller..."

Ni Ni, who plays the heroine Yu Mo in the film, described in detail her "mental journey" of filming the sex scene with Bell in the form of a self-report.

There was an uproar online.

I've seen propaganda with no bottom line, but I've never seen one with such no bottom line.

In order to attract attention, they have no shame at all.

When Liu Xiaozhi saw this news, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"These people are so disrespectful to actresses." Sun Yi rarely saw Liu Yifei really angry.

This girl is an optimist, laughing all the time, but now, she is really angry.

No wonder, she had encountered similar situations before.

When director Li An was filming "Lust, Caution" that year, he was selecting an actress for the leading female role, Wang Jiazhi.

He had very strict requirements for Wang Jiazhi. She had to have an elegant temperament, a good figure, a height between 164 and 170 cm, and an apparent age of over 19 but not over 23 years old.

His first choice at the time was Liu Yifei, and he sent her the entire script.

It was a big Hollywood director, and they had veteran actor Tony Leung as their partner. Aunt Liu and Liu Yifei were very satisfied. But just before signing the contract
The script has been changed.

We need to add a long passionate scene.

Liu Yifei was still young at the time and a little confused, and Aunt Liu sternly refused, which led to the later appearance of Tang Wei.

Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared. What if the contract had been signed too early, who knows what the outcome would have been.

For a big director, changing the script is a simple matter.

Liu Yifei has always felt that she should be a dedicated actor, but she cannot agree with this kind of "dedicated" approach.

"Director Zhang is so respected, how could he allow Zhang Weiping to do such a thing?"

"Tsk tsk, Comrade Zhang can't control Zhang Weiping. Besides, he is also closely related to this matter."

"Ah? There's still something about Director Zhang? No way?"

Liu Yifei was surprised.

Neither of them thought about the author of this short essay - Ni Ni.

This girl is only 23 years old this year, she hasn't graduated from college yet, and this is her first year in this circle. It is basically impossible for her to do such a vulgar thing just to attract attention.

If this was really her own idea, then I can only say that this girl was born for the entertainment industry.

Sun Yi chuckled and asked Liu Yifei, "What kind of movie is this?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused as to why the question turned to the subject of the movie, but she still replied softly, "A war history movie?"

Sun Yi nodded, "Yes." Then he guided Liu Yifei and continued to ask: "The historical theme with the Nanjing Incident as the background is definitely heavy. In such a theme, what do you think?"

“There shouldn’t be a sex scene!”

Liu Yifei figured it out and blurted it out.

Sun Yi snapped his fingers and gave her an approving look.

In fact, in addition to the unsuitable subject matter, the roles and characters are also unsuitable.

Bale pretended to be a priest to protect the Chinese refugees in the church. He was originally selfless, which was a reflection of humanity. However, the sudden addition of a passionate scene could easily lead the audience to misunderstand that he had ulterior motives, which added a stain to this character.

As a prostitute who is ready to sacrifice herself at the last moment, Yu Mo's expression of love will never be a one-night stand. On the contrary, a simple hug and affectionate kiss like a good girl will make this character more sublime.

Comrade Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you having never met a fallen woman?
Anyway, Sun Yi didn't understand it, it was just superfluous.

"However, Comrade Lao Zhang is also in a difficult situation. He has been caught by Zhang Weiping, and there is nothing he can do about it."

Sun Yi shook his head and sighed.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

"Pigtail? What is it? Tell me, tell me!"

Liu Yifei immediately became interested and looked like she was enjoying the show.

Sometimes Sun Yi particularly admires his wife for this. Her style changes at any time. She was indignant one second, but now she is gossiping.

He rubbed his teeth and said slowly:

"Well, how should I tell you? Director Zhang got married and had three children. Do you understand?"

"Married and had three kids?"

Liu Yifei looked confused, "What happened?"

"In our country, we are not allowed to have three children. We can only have one."

Sun Yi said affirmatively.

The full implementation of the second-child policy will have to wait until 2016.

Director Zhang directly violated the rules by having more children than allowed, and since he is a public figure, one can imagine that this is a pretty serious matter.

After listening to this, Liu Yifei didn't know what she was thinking of. Suddenly her face fell, she pursed her lips, and asked a little aggrievedly:
"Is it true that you can only have one child?"

Sun Yi was suddenly stunned.

No, sister, what are you thinking about?? ! !
