China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?

Chapter 196 Winning the Palme d'Or! This time we face Chen Kaige head-on! Hexi Corridor Premiere!

Su Yi recalled it in his heart.

It seems that the movie he is planning to make was invested by Shanghai Film Industry Corporation in the original world.

Now that the Bayi Factory is involved, the education department will also join.

Should this investment be increased again?

There are certainly no limits to investing in a movie.

Now the Bayi Factory has invested 3 million, and the education department has invested 2 million.

If Shanghai Film continues to participate, it will cost 3 million.

8 million film investment!

This number alone sounds mind-numbing.

Ordinary directors would not dare to accept it.

At that time, many directors at the Bayi Film Studio shunned the project when they heard that they were going to make a movie about that overseas war.

The pressure is huge!

In 2006, 8 million yuan was invested in domestic films.

How much can the box office be?

2002 "Heroes" ranking 2.5 million box office.

In 2003, "Mobile Phone" had a box office of 5600 million.

In 2004, "Kung Fu" had a box office of 1.6 million.

It is not difficult to see that there are basically no masterpieces of war.

The previous Soldier Assault was even the first domestic military drama with an investment of tens of millions.

"Boss, two departments have already participated in investment in this film. And the investment amount is not small."

Su Yi smiled bitterly, this time he felt the pressure.

"I know about this, but we are also very interested in such a movie."

Chairman Wang's smile was a little cunning.

And also ‘not giving in an inch’.

He knew that this time was a good opportunity. Is Director Su Yi so easy to hire?

Institutional matters always spread quickly, especially such big things.

Although Su Yi is now with the National Film Administration, the General Administration cannot really let him work, and most of the time he works in name only.

The real work was still at CCTV, and because of this incident, CCTV found a higher-level leader to 'forcibly' keep Su Yi at CCTV.

Moreover, after Su Yi negotiates the copyright issue this time, he will shoot a documentary.

Basically half a year has passed since this back and forth.

In the second half of the year, he is expected to direct a project for Bayi Film Studio.

One year is about to pass!

This made Chairman Wang a little anxious.

Originally, China Film was at its peak because Parasite won four Oscars and earned a lot of box office revenue in North America and China.

Han Sanping was promoted as a result and fully took control of China Film.

If this continues, their status as Shangying will become even more embarrassing.

They are both film and television companies, and they also want to make progress.

To be honest, before Su Yi came, Chairman Wang had already thought about it. He must cry poverty to the leaders. Originally, they didn't have much property, and now they have to be taken away and used, so they put their status very low. .

Director Wang also knows that it is difficult to hold a bowl of water levelly, but it can be handled on a large scale.

So in addition to the copyright fee, they are also allowed to impose some conditions.

After all, this was CCTV spending money - Director Wang also had some complaints about Su Yi.

"Our investment will not change. It must at least be the same as that of Bayi Factory. Otherwise, priority will be given to filming our movies."

Chairman Wang was half-joking.

"Soldier Assault was broadcast on Dongfang Satellite TV. Many people subconsciously felt that there was a military drama in Shanghai. So there was nothing wrong with us being given priority."

This sentence is a bit strong.

But now that's the idea.

Shanghai Film Academy is under their management. From an overall perspective, Shanghai Film Academy's profits and development are definitely more important.

Chairman Wang is much more difficult to deal with.

"We can use the copyright of Meiying as we wish?"

Su Yi suddenly raised his head.

It is definitely impossible to invest 8 million in ‘one’ movie.

But it’s okay to stew it in a spoonful.

"Yes, you can use it as you like. But the profits from the peripheral products should be divided into one-fifth. Isn't this excessive?"

One out of five is okay.

Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Even if it's half, they still have a profit, but it's not interesting anymore.

"But if we go to Meiying to independently develop a new cartoon series, you can't stop us - of course we won't take advantage of the popularity of other versions."

Chairman Wang has actually prepared the conditions long ago.

This is also possible, sharing copyright and joint development.

"All conditions are acceptable!"

Su Yi smiled.

This Chairman Wang is really difficult to deal with.

But it went smoothly.

It is estimated that it is also because of the documents from the leaders above, otherwise there would not even be such a transaction.

After all, it is a state-owned enterprise, so even if Shanghai Meiying closes down, other departments will take over.

Keep the copyright slowly, maybe you can still use it.

"That movie"

Chairman Wang coughed.

"I'll go right after I finish shooting the documentary. Around October."

Documentary filming is ongoing.

Even if you let the bullets fly, you have to check it from time to time. Although there are ginger tattoos, there is basically no problem.

Although Su Yi is still a famous director, he can arrange many things for others and just supervise the production himself.

For example, the children's channel is currently broadcasting a popular program, I Love Ancient Poetry.

The competition system is still based on family groups, which attracts many people to watch.

Even without his own name, he is still very popular.

The key is that there are bonuses provided by advertisers. Once broadcast, the ratings remain high.

So most of the time, I can be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"October? Okay! If the script is finalized, I want to see it - not because I don't trust you, but because I am curious. My father also died in that battle, so I want to see the script."

There are actually quite a few movies about overseas battles.

"Assault on the White Tigers", "Shangganling" and so on.

But they are too old, and the picture is no longer accepted by today’s young people.

They may even choose to watch cartoons like Natu to understand that too much time has passed, decades.

This is the fault of these film companies!

After saying it for so long, this sentence is the most sincere.

Su Yi nodded, the framework has been written.

The rest was left to a few screenwriters in the editor-in-chief’s office to perfect.

Their names will be written on the movie and they will be paid.

Now, that's the only choice.

"Changjin Lake"!

And the subsequent Watergate Bridge!

8 million investment, two movies.

All three investors are completely satisfied.

It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. The flight tickets are still booked for tomorrow. Let's take a good tour of this place today, how about it?"

"Welcome, welcome! Actually, I had an ulterior motive just now, and I felt very ashamed."

Director Jin said hurriedly.

Although Shangmeiying is not open to the public yet, many places inside are actually like museums.

Director Jin even invited a staff member who was familiar with the history of Shanghai Meiying to give an explanation.

Chairman Wang also accompanied me today, and you can tell.

He was in a good mood.

······

China Film Group.

"Zhongjun, did you call me? You just finished the meeting."

The newly appointed vice chairman of China Film Group took charge of Han Sanping when he was on a business trip.

The Parasite movie incident caused a huge response.

Since winning the Oscar, Han Sanping has been very busy.

The phone often doesn't go through.

Su Yi hasn't seen him since the last time he talked about letting bullets fly.

Wang Zhongjun called several times, but after receiving no response, he called the vice chairman.

"Chairman Xue, we now have a project that we would like to report on."

Wang Zhongjun didn't give up even after hitting a snag from Su Yi.

In his own words, it is impossible that if Su Yi does not participate, they will dissolve the company, right?

This time is a huge business opportunity, with patriotism and the popularity of the rabbit.

So this movie had to be made!

Zhang Yi was filming "Man City" and had no time.

I also contacted many other directors, including Li Shaohong.

But Li Shaohong has been dealing with the matter of the new Dream of Red Mansions and seems to have never given up. Although the script was rejected by the General Administration, it has been 'working hard'.

After all, the General Administration is not very powerful in the eyes of some units.

Especially in 2006!

So Li Shaohong was not in the mood for this movie, nor was he confident.

Su Yi also rejected him, and some directors in Hong Kong also made it clear that they would not film at this time.

After all, Su Yi is at the height of his popularity, and ordinary directors avoid him.

There is no way he would rush forward at this time.

There are not many famous directors left.

There is only one Chen Kaige left.

Chen Kaige readily agreed, he needed such an opportunity.

He even thought it was a godsend.

But the 300 million offered by Huayi Brothers alone was not enough - they had previously offered Su Yi 500 million.

But it would be safer for Chen Kaige to invest 300 million first.

The rest still requires investment.

China Film is a good choice. No matter how bad Wuji is, Chen Kaige still has a certain reputation.

Even those who have failed many times are still capable of directing large-scale productions.

"Zhongjun, why don't you call Director Han first."

Vice Chairman Xue knew Han Sanping's temper and told him exactly what he said.

China Film Group is considered a dominant company. Although he, the vice chairman, is also a friend of him, he only does some small things.

When it comes to investing in movies, it's better for Han Sanping to decide.

Although Han Sanping's vision is not always accurate.

"Chairman Xue, we have invested 300 million in this project, and it is a very popular project recently. Have you read it?"

Chairman Xue was stunned.

That rabbit?

It is indeed popular recently, but isn’t that Su Yi’s project?

Everyone knows about Huayi Brothers and Su Yi.

It was very stiff at that time.

"Our director is Director Chen Kaige, and we have invested 3 million. I think it will be a huge success, and it will also fill the gap of no war masterpiece after our first year!"

Wang Zhongjun knew that Vice Chairman Xue still had this right.

"About overseas wars? Zhongjun, this is a good subject! Okay, I'll write it down first. When Chairman Han's call gets through, I'll ask for instructions."

Such a war masterpiece is indeed within the scope of China Film's consideration.

"Sure, then I'll wait for your good news!"

Wang Zhongjun felt relieved.

With such a relationship, there is also Vice Chairman Xue’s plea.

Basically Han Sanping will agree.

····

July 2006.

The weather has started to get really hot.

At the end of the Hexi Corridor, the temperature difference between morning and evening is much greater.

Lao Wang's face was dark, but his eyes were bright.

It's completely different from when he was at Capital TV.

Wind and sun, no exaggeration.

To be honest, shooting outside is still very tiring, and the weather here changes quickly.

When going to some places to shoot, you even need to be led by local professionals.

"Director Wang, we should leave too. Are you still a little reluctant to leave?"

Su Yi laughed.

A few months passed in a flash.

Natu is still on the air and has become the ratings champion in the first half of 2006. It is overpowered by a cartoon and makes other TV drama directors feel aggrieved.

The filming of Da Qin Fu has been completed. Two days ago, Yang Mi asked if he could participate in the promotion.

But with Zheng Xiaolong here, Su Yi is not worried that this TV series will be a hit.

There are also many famous actors among them.

And most notably, Parasite won the Palme d’Or!

Although neither Su Yi nor Jiang Wen went, and even Liu Yifei did not go to the red carpet.

But Parasite still won the Palme d'Or.

A movie, the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and an Academy Award!

There are even Golden Globe Awards and so on.

This makes the West and North America remember the name Su Yi.

Originally, Jiang Wen wanted to go there this time, as a way to increase publicity for "Let the Bullets Fly."

But Su Yi really didn't have time and wasn't interested.

Proving that you are capable is enough.

This caused an uproar in the entire film industry.

Many people in China are very envious, especially some fifth-generation directors and sixth-generation directors.

Before this, only one work by Chen Kaige had won the Palme d'Or.

The rest are almost all nominations.

Now Su Yi has changed the previous status quo of Chen Kaige's family being the dominant one, which can be regarded as completely breaking Chen Kaige's golden status.

After all, in the previous world, the fifth generation directors and the sixth generation directors were all proud of the Oscar and Cannes awards.

The movie should be as literary and artistic as possible, but Chen Kaige won this special award.

So no matter how hard he is at the box office, his reputation remains.

And it has always been popular with investors.

After all, I didn’t lose much when filming movies with him, and sometimes I could make some money.

Most of the later movies tended to be commercial films, because after 2010, the box office market of Dragon Kingdom movies also began to grow significantly. This was the era when world movies turned their attention to Dragon Kingdom, so not many people Willing to make thankless art films.

In the whole of Asia, it seems that only Chen Kaige and later Parasite have won this award.

There is only one Chen Kaige in the Dragon Kingdom, so this reputation can barely be maintained.

But now it has been broken by Su Yi, which is a huge harm to Chen Kaige.

However, Su Yi has been filming this documentary, but he did not get to see Chen Kaige's wonderful reaction.

The entire Dragon Kingdom film industry was in an uproar, and the media reported it for three consecutive days.

Even the proud Sixth Princess. This incident was rarely reported before the movie was released.

"Congratulations to director Su Yi for winning the Palme d'Or for his film, Parasite. This film is our pride and the pride of Bangzi Country."

The first sentence is considered normal, but the second sentence is completely directed at Bangzi Country.

The Sixth Princess has always been like this, her words are to the point, and her ability to break defenses is very strong.

The Bangzi Kingdom, which had previously criticized the Oscar incident, now also looks angrily at the West.

That sentence was also the pride of Bangzi Country, which completely stung them.

And they still can't figure it out. In 2005, Dragon Kingdom was still their main battlefield, but now it has completely changed.

Of course, a piece of news came out quietly during this period, and it didn't even occupy the space of the newspaper.

Just mentioned it.

"The new Dream of Red Mansions project directed by Director Li Shaohong has been restarted. After the previous changes to the script. Director Li Shaohong and the screenwriter retained respect for the original work. Under the re-examination of the General Administration, the script has been initially reviewed, and the actors are Preparations are underway.”

Faced with the overwhelming news reports about Su Yi, this matter is really nothing to worry about, even deliberately keeping a low profile.

At this time, most of the news reports were tilted towards Su Yi's new documentary.

Su Yi, who had been filming in the field, didn't notice it.

In fact, he doesn't care.

Because in his world, the new Dream of Red Mansions was full of nonsense, which was completely different from his teacher's attitude of respecting the original work, so he took action.

It can be regarded as a back door, killing this new Dream of Red Mansions in the cradle.

Even now that I know it is resurrected, I don't have any trouble in my heart, and I have even forgotten about it.

"To say that I can't bear to part with it, I definitely do! The scenery here is so beautiful, and the level of these foreign photographers also amazed me. I learned a lot of knowledge. Didn't I always ask about the original thing before? In fact, I am a photographer. teacher, and later changed careers and became a director. Compared with foreign shooting techniques, we are indeed still a little behind. But we have finally achieved a satisfactory result. This documentary, which cost more than 2000 million yuan, will hit extremely high ratings. ! This is not a documentary at all, it is simply a movie. I saw the Emperor of Han Dynasty that was filmed last year, and it was not as ambitious as you."

Wang Xiaoling sighed with admiration, and even wanted to curse.

He will never achieve such great achievements in his life.

This documentary alone amazed him!

Although he was only responsible for shooting the scenery, he also watched the final results of the previous episodes.

This documentary, which has not yet been broadcast, is destined to leave a mark in the history of Dragon Kingdom documentaries.

"Director Wang, you really praise me so much. I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to show all the culture of our country. Although the previous Hanwu Emperor was also a masterpiece, the investment was too small and it couldn't shock people. In this filming, some of the characters are also from the Hanwu Emperor crew, which will increase the sense of immersion - the videos for the first few episodes have been completed, and the filming for the next few episodes has also been completed, and they are just waiting to be broadcast."

Su Yi stretched.

This time the number of local troops alone reached tens of thousands.

There are also countless costumes, armors, makeup, special effects and weapons. More than 2000 million is almost not enough.

But...it's really about making documentaries based on movies!

There was a trace of expectation in Lao Wang's eyes.

Because he knew that this epic documentary would also have his name on it.

Lao Wang was convinced this time. He calls himself a genius, so it seems.

Too far!

"The director who won 4 Oscars and the Palme d'Or for one movie, Su Yi! A new work is out!"

No new works by Su Yi have appeared during this period. Although Natu is being serialized, it is played very slowly. It has been changed to one episode every week. Although I love ancient poetry and this kind of program, it also makes people feel very good, but After all, the audience rate is there.

After seeing these publicity and the updates on Su Yi's blog, people suddenly became interested.

It seems like it’s been a few months since I’ve been ‘shocked’!

"Documentary: Hexi Corridor!"

“See you at 6:30 pm!”
