China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 770 Premiere and Insider Information [Two-in-One]

surface

Throughout November, the entertainment industry has been rotating around the Lunar New Year box office, with one party taking over and the next taking their place.

After Sun Yi ate some of Lao Zhang's gossip, he no longer paid much attention to this year's Lunar New Year publicity war.

Anyway, Xingkong will not participate this year, which is equivalent to giving up the throne directly and watching the fight between tigers from the mountain. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with him.

Wouldn't it be better to use this time to focus on your own affairs?

The company has several projects on hand, such as "Love Is Not Blind" by Mr. Xue Xiaolu from the film department, which is being urgently finalized in an effort to have it released on Valentine's Day, February 2th of the Gregorian calendar next year.

The previous life of "Love Is Not Blind" was released on Singles' Day in 12.

Although there is only a one-year difference in time, "Singles' Day" as a man-made online concept festival has not yet been fully popularized, so it is very appropriate to release it on Valentine's Day.

Does the name of this book "33 Days of Broken Love" mean that it is really all about broken love?
It was released on Singles’ Day, and there were still so many young couples going to watch it.

So it's impossible, and movie fans are not stupid.

No matter how heartbroken it is, it is still a love story.

Sun Yi took advantage of the two days of free time to visit the crew of "Love Is Not Blind" twice.

As the company's first work of the new year, he still hopes to have a good start.

At the Starry Sky Film and Television Base, he met director Xue Xiaolu.

It must be said that this female director's control over this kind of chick flick is different from that of a male director.

It’s easy for a male director to bring this type of film into the rhythm of an ordinary light comedy.

After watching the finished film by Teacher Xue Xiaolu, Sun Yi found that although she also focused the perspective on the heroine Huang Xiaoxian, the length of the film was handled very appropriately, and the plot was compact and not procrastinated.

It starts with Huang Xiaoxian’s loss and bad luck, and then through repeated small incidents and conflicts, he builds up his self-confidence, gradually displays his personal charm, and finally succeeds in a counterattack.

It fits the rhythm of female-oriented cool novels very well. In this way, not only female audiences will love to read it, but most male audiences will not be disgusted by it either.

Although the overall film is different from the memories of the previous life, after all, the main actors and directors have been replaced. It is okay for Zhang Yi to play the emblem version of Wang Xiaojian, but it would be extremely difficult for Yang Mi to play the Bai Baihe-style Huang Xiaoxian.

I was born with an extra 40 grams of flesh.

In the film, director Xue Xiaolu defines Yang Mi as a country girl with a bit of emo attributes, who doesn't know how to dress or make-up, and is unaware of her looks and figure.

Kind of mimicking Anne Hathaway's look in The Devil Wears Prada.

However, it is not a simple imitation, but also adds a lot of things, which is very down-to-earth.

After reading it, Sun Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Teacher Xue.

"Teacher Xue, you are really good at it. I can't capture this feeling in a photo."

Every director has his own directing style when he matures, which is the so-called lens language.

Even if Sun Yi came from later generations and had complete memories, he would not be happy if you asked him to accept everything and copy it completely.

After all, after working as a director for so many years, I have already developed my own things.

Moreover, he is confident that his abilities are not much worse than those so-called international directors.

"You call me teacher now. If I don't have some secrets, I'll be laughed at when I go out."

Xue Xiaolu joked with him casually.

To be honest, when Sun Yi watched the finished film just now, she was still a little nervous.

After all, Sun Yi is no longer the college student he was back then, and any one of his award records is something that many directors will never be able to achieve in their entire lives.

To be able to get a compliment from him shows that I have real talent.

It is hard to understand why Xue Xiaolu would think this way. After all, he started out as a screenwriter and switched to being a director. Although his first movie, Ocean Paradise, had a good reputation, it did not attract too much attention.

This time, she regarded "Love Is Not Blind" as an important opportunity in her life.

If she can achieve both box office success and good reputation, then Xue Xiaolu will have established a firm foothold in the entire circle.

Sun Yi did not guess what Teacher Xue was thinking, nor did he bother to think about it.

They are all our own people.

Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Teacher Xue for a long time, and he hasn't been back to school for a year.

I don’t know how Teacher Tian is doing. He still sits on the podium all day with a pot of tea and a roll of tobacco.

Sun Yi felt that he should find an opportunity to go back and visit during the Chinese New Year.

No matter how busy.
After spending two days on the set of "Love Is Not Blind", Sun Yi also inspected another major project of the company.

A TV series.

This is the second collaboration between Lao Qi and Kang Honglei after "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" - "The Young Marshal".

This time, Lao Qi served as the director and Kang Honglei served as the producer to help him check the film.

Speaking of this TV series, Sun Yi liked it very much in his previous life because it was filmed very realistically.

When he was organizing the company's script library, he put the outline of this play in it, but he didn't expect it to be selected by Lao Qi this year.

Comrade Lao Qi is now one of the leading directors of the Star TV drama department. He is no longer the assistant director who used to hang around Hengdian and work for others.

As long as you are outside, you will be greeted by "Director Qi" everywhere.

After filming two hit dramas in a row, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", Lao Qi is now planning a transformation, leaving his comfort zone of Qing palace dramas and preparing to try other themes, especially wanting to develop in the direction of serious dramas.

This was also suggested by Sun Yi.

If he remembered correctly, Qing Dynasty palace dramas were banned for a while.

Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with him.

Because "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" produced in advance by Star Sky were all very popular, the entire TV drama circle began to blindly follow suit.

There are endless Qing Dynasty dramas with similar themes, and the quality is mixed. There is a general phenomenon of disrespecting history and exaggerating. Some dramas are even suspected of glorifying the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent. Moreover, palace fighting dramas are full of negative energy of intrigue and deception, which is not good for the mental health and growth of young people.

Therefore, it won’t be long before the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television takes action to rectify the chaos.

Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative to jump out of your comfort zone and open up a new battlefield.

Anyway, the first piece of cake has already made Xingkong a lot of money.

Sun Yi’s advice to Lao Qi was to develop towards serious drama.

In this regard, he is quite clear. In the future TV drama circle, idol dramas, fantasy dramas, workplace dramas and the like will only be popular for a while, at most one or two years. The audience's tastes change at any time, and only serious dramas will be the enduring classics in everyone's mind.

Being able to make a serious drama well is the real way to be invincible.

Of course, the scale of shooting and the control of rhythm are both very challenging for a director.

Lao Qi didn't have much experience in this area, so Sun Yi suggested that he start with historical themes to get a feel for it, rather than jumping in headfirst.

That's how the film "The Young Marshal" came into being.

In order to recreate the classic, Sun Yi still invited Mr. Li Xingjian to play the warlord Zhang Zuolin. As for the actor of Zhang Xueliang, Sun Yi arranged for the youngest in the company, Zhang Ruoyun.

In fact, he wanted to choose the coat of arms. No matter what, this brother's acting skills during this period were really good. But he later had that incident, and there was really no way to wash it away.

Therefore, in order to avoid risks, it is better to replace them with your own people.

"The Young Marshal" is expected to start filming in December, and will go directly back to Sun Yi's hometown in Northeast China for location shooting. The winter scenes will be shot first, and then after the Chinese New Year, the rest will be shot in the spring.

It is estimated that it will take until the end of next year for the entire production to be completed and meet the audience.

There's no other way. TV series are time-consuming, not to mention such a big subject. It's amazing how the Star Team managed to finish filming in half a year. If you change to another company and try, it's not uncommon to find it takes a year to shoot.

On December 2011, 12, the weather was fine.

Outside the recently opened flagship cinema of Star International Cinemas in Shijingshan, the small square is filled with promotional posters of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

Media from all over the country and invited fan representatives enthusiastically lined up on both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the red carpet ceremony to begin.

Star International has its own internal regulations. For any flagship store of this size, an area must be reserved in front of the cinema. If conditions permit, a large square will be built. If conditions do not permit, a small square will be built. It will be used as an entertainment venue for movie fans to rest and check in on weekdays, and for movie premieres under special circumstances.

Like today, the premiere of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" was held here.

In fact, the conditions of Shijingshan Cinema for the premiere are not very good. The space reserved in front of the cinema is not big enough, and a small red carpet of 50 meters is already the limit.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But director Tsui Hark doesn't care. This is not what he is concerned about at all.

This is because this cinema has the latest generation of IMAX 3D giant screen, which is unique in the entire Beijing area.

It’s not that other Star International stores cannot afford to install this screen, but because the manufacturer’s production capacity is limited. Even Star’s earliest order did not get many units. Other chain flagship stores are all queuing up for the upgrade, but only this one in Shijingshan was able to get it right away because it had just opened.

Director Tsui Hark chose this place directly for the viewing effect of the premiere, which is the 3D martial arts film in his mind.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, outside the small square, a black Audi A8 stopped accurately at the end of the red carpet under the guidance of the staff, with the door facing the center of the red carpet.

Everyone present immediately realized that the red carpet ceremony was about to begin.

Reporters on both sides rushed forward and pointed their cameras at the car door.

Looking forward to who will open today's red carpet ceremony.

"Damn, it's Sun Yi!"

As soon as the car door opened, there were exclamations from the crowd.

No one expected that the first person to appear would be Sun Yi.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, without even giving the journalists on the scene time to take pictures, he immediately turned around, bent down and stretched out a hand toward the back of the car door.

There's someone else? He's not himself?
Could it be that Liu Yifei is here too?? ! !

The crowd suddenly became a little agitated. After waiting for about two or three seconds, a familiar smiling face appeared at the door and gently put his hand on Sun Yi's wrist.

With one step, he stood directly on the red carpet.

Greeted the crowd on both sides generously.

A fawn camel-colored half-length trench coat with a fur collar, paired with a snow-white V-neck woolen skirt, flesh-colored stockings and brown leather boots tightly wrapped around a pair of long legs, perfectly combining comfort and warmth, creating a gentle look that is both fashionable and beautiful.

There was a cry of surprise from the red carpet.

"Wow, it's really Liu Yifei, so beautiful!"

“The goddess is here!!!”

"Director Sun, Yifei, look here, look here, thank you, one more!"

"."

The 50-meter short red carpet made Sun Yi and Liu Yifei feel like they were at a film festival.

There was no other way. The reporters and fans on both sides were so enthusiastic that I could only walk and stop, step by step.

In fact, it is impossible to guess that the two have not appeared in public for more than a month since they participated in the promotional roadshow for "Gravity".

Sun Yi is better, at least his fans don’t care about this.

As long as you know that he is fine, he can still make movies.

But Liu Yifei can't do that.

These reporters and fans are already waiting impatiently.

Fortunately, everyone had not lost their minds. Knowing that today was the premiere of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", no one did anything out of line, and after Sun Yi and Liu Yifei walked the red carpet, everyone calmed down.

Next, director Tsui Hark and several of the film's leading actors, including Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun, Gui Lunmei and others, walked onto the red carpet one after another.

After the red carpet ceremony ended, reporters and fans began to check in with their invitation letters.

Those in the industry who arrived earlier have already started socializing in Hall No. 1.

Li Ming, who was galloping like a pony, was the first to surround Sun Yi and said with emotion:

"Brother Sun, it's really not easy to see you now."

Sun Yi chuckled and said jokingly, "Brother Ming, that's not right. I've been resting for almost a month, and you haven't invited me to dinner yet?"

"Oh, brother, look. It's my fault. Tonight! It has to be arranged tonight!"

Li Ming slapped his thigh with a look of regret, as if he, as an older brother, really had not done enough.

Liu Yifei was holding Sun Yi's arm, watching the two of them giggle. Suddenly, she turned her beautiful eyes and pointed at Sun Yi and said with a smile, "Brother Ming, don't listen to his nonsense. He is so busy every day that he has no time to go out for dinner."

"Hey! Who are you from?"

This prodigal old man... no, this little girl, actually dared to expose my past!

Sun Yi had a look of despair on his face, but Liu Yifei was smiling happily, and it was obvious that she was very happy to be joking.

In the past two years, it is not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between Xiaoma Pentium and Starry Sky is a strategic partnership. The two also have a deep personal relationship with Li Ming. It is common for them to give each other gifts during festivals and to have dinner together. Therefore, Liu Yifei can completely let go in front of Li Ming, and it is not the first time that she has made fun of Sun Yi.

"Hahaha, if you don't have time, then you don't have time. But since we met today, I must show my favor. Otherwise, I will be angry."

Li Ming deliberately frowned.

In fact, he came here today just to find Sun Yi. Otherwise, based on the amount of investment he had made in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", it would not be worth it for him, the boss, to come in person.

"Brother Ming, no need, no need. It was just a joke." Sun Yi waved his hands and explained.

But Li Ming was not going to let him go. He walked closer with a serious face, grabbed Sun Yi's arm, and said softly:
"Brother, you must give me this favor today. I have something to ask of you."

"Oh?"

"I heard that you are going to organize a film festival?"

Hearing this, Sun Yi's eyes flashed.

Has this news already been leaked?
But the next second, I changed my mind and thought that this was not something particularly confidential, and it would not be too much for others to know about it.

"Yes, Brother Ming, it is true. However, it is still under review at the municipal government. I don't know when we can get definite news."

Seeing Sun Yi's straightforward admission, Li Ming's smile widened a little, and he lowered his voice and continued:
"It doesn't matter when, it's already been decided!"

"???"
