Chapter 170 [169] Premiere of "Kara"!

"Boss, this is the copyright of "A World Without Thieves"!"

In a studio in the 798 Art District of the Imperial Capital, Yang Lu, the legal lawyer Chen Yu hired a few months ago, submitted a copyright transfer agreement to Chen Yu.

There are currently only a few people in the entire Yu Xin Pictures. Apart from the front desk and legal staff, there is only one aunt who sweeps the floor.

Including Chen Yu, there are only four people.

Chen Yu returned to the imperial capital yesterday. He has finished filming the scenes in Yongkang Tianlong Film and Television City for "Dragon Movie".

Next, he only needs to film the Duan family's scenes in Dali, Yunnan, and Duan Yu's role can be completed.

It is estimated that it will be completed in 20 days.

"Yeah, sure!"

"Well done!"

Chen Yu looked over the copyright transfer contract for "A World Without Thieves" and it was signed in the name of Yu Xin Pictures.

The legal representative of Yu Xin Pictures is of course not Chen Yu. According to normal operations in the industry, Chen Yu's father, Mr. Chen Peidong, is the legal person of Yu Xin Pictures.

Therefore, unless they are people who are very familiar with Chen Yu, generally no one knows about the relationship between Chen Yu and Chen Peidong.

Either Chen Yu will be exposed after he becomes famous.

The copyright for "A World Without Thieves" cost a total of 110 million.

It was said that Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi, one was worth 50 yuan and the other was 80 yuan... For the sake of such a large amount of money, E Film Studio did not ask any further questions and signed the contract readily.

E Film Factory also understands the rules of business. Their sales were not very glamorous, so the copyright transaction went very smoothly.

"Leave it to your own company to shoot!"

Chen Yu flipped through the novel "A World Without Thieves" on the attached page. The full text only has 5000 words in total, but it is very wonderfully written.

Regarding this movie, Chen Yu also has a very deep memory; not to mention that it won more than 04 million at the box office in 1, and its reputation and awards are soaring. Many were shortlisted for the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and Golden Statue. Awards.

The most important thing is that the male and female protagonists of this movie are a "thieves couple", so they have a lot of room for acting.

Especially the female thief played by Milk Tea Liu Ruoying, the last scene of eating a duck can be said to outshine 95% of actresses.

This classic shot is known as one of the four famous eating scenes. It is as famous as Zeng Zhiwei eating box lunches in "Infernal Affairs", Chen Peisi eating noodles in the air, and Zhao Dehan eating noodles in "In the Name of the People"!

Relying on this role, Liu Ruoying won three best actresses, Golden Bauhinia, Chinese Media and Baihua.

Although the gold content is very average, but after all, she is still a movie queen, isn't she?

Don’t treat the village chief as a cadre!

Liu Yifei in her previous life wanted to get it, but she still couldn't get it!

So this role was actually reserved for her by Chen Yu, but there was a passionate scene at the beginning that needed to be changed; and the premise was that Liu Yifei's acting skills could hold up, which required Chen Yuduo's training; Andy's boyfriend No. 1, Chen Yu thought that there would be no problem for him to act.

“It’s time to head out to the premiere of Kara!”

Chen Yu kept the copyright of "A World Without Thieves", checked with Yang Lu, and walked out of the company.

The release date of "Cara is a Dog" is December 12.

It was placed on the same day as the premiere of "Hero" in Imperial City.

As early as more than a month ago, "Hero", which Lao Mouzi News had been speculating for nearly a year, had been screened on a small scale in Shenzhen City, mainly to test word of mouth. The ticket price was as high as 50 yuan a piece, and it had to rely on the Only ID cards are required to enter.

But even so, tickets for Shen Cheng's "Hero" movie are still hard to come by, and those who have seen it say it is a good movie.

50 yuan a piece. In the movie ticket market in 02, which was generally 15 yuan, it was absolutely sky-high.

However, there are still many ticket scalpers, and a movie ticket can even be sold for 200 or even 300 yuan.

The premiere of "Hero" in the Imperial City was five days earlier than other places. The official premiere was held in the Great Hall, and it was completely full of cards and quality.

The 19th is the day when "Hero" is released nationwide.

Hua Yi negotiated with Lu Xuechang and the film organizers for many days before finally deciding on the same date as "Hero".

But the film schedule on the first day was only a pitiful 5%!

When Chen Yu set off, he also met up with the crew of "Kala".

After attending the premiere, he had to follow Lu Xuechang and others to carry out road shows across the country.

This can be regarded as a routine operation for movie releases. Even in 2027, many filmmakers will still do this.

After all, this traditional method of canvassing votes is the most stable vote bank.

"Damn it, I don't know who cut off my hair!"

"I checked that Yu Xin Pictures. The legal representative is Chen or something. I don't recognize it at all!"

When Chen Yu rushed to Huayi, he happened to hear Feng Xiaogang's cursing voice there; needless to say, he was probably complaining about the script of "A World Without Thieves".

"Forget it, this script is good, but it's very difficult to adapt!"

"I still think Lao Liu's 1942 is okay!"

“Mr. Wang’s intention is also to lean toward 1942!”

Feng Xiaogang said to Lu Xuechang, who was sitting next to him. Lu Xuechang obviously also knew the book "1942".

This is a novella "Review of 93" written by the famous domestic writer Liu Zhenyun in 1942. It tells the story of the severe drought and locust plague in the Central Plains Province between 1943 and , which starved more than three million people to death. People's stories.

Feng Xiaogang had already taken a liking to the script in 94, but preparations in 94 and 2000 failed to start production smoothly.

Mainly in these two periods, Feng Xiaogang has no shortage of good scripts at all.

In 94, Wang Shuo's "My Love Is Forever" and "Stewardess" allowed Feng Xiaogang to make his debut as a director, "My Love Is Forever"!

In 2000, it was "Big Shot" released last year that made Feng Xiaogang complete the triple jump and completely become one of the top three directors in China.

"The novel 1942 is indeed suitable for a movie adaptation!"

“But this production is not necessarily cheap!”

Lu Xuechang smoked a cigarette and puffed out smoke.

Feng Xiaogang is actually worried about this too, fearing budget overruns. “So I have to talk to Lao Liu and let him take control!”

As the screenwriter of the original work, Feng Xiaogang can roughly estimate the cost of filming.

“So this year’s Lunar New Year, it’s up to you, Xuechang!”

Feng Xiaogang grinned, and Lu Xuechang hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't compare with you. I would be grateful to have 500 million, at least I won't lose!"

"Five million...Then Mr. Wang will have to scold me as the producer!"

Feng Xiao just happened to see Chen Yu walking in. He gave him a rare smile and said, "Xiao Chen, you have finished filming Tianlong, are you still skipping work?"

"Director Feng, Director Lu!"

Chen Yu obviously respected Feng Xiaogang in person: "The filming is finished for the time being, and the others haven't finished yet, so there is a gap of about 10 days!"

"I wonder why Lu Yanyou agreed so readily!"

Lu Xuechang laughed and recommended to Feng Xiaogang next to him: "Xiao Chen has good acting skills. There is a suitable role in 1942. We can arrange one for him!"

"Okay, I'll give you one when the time comes!"

Feng Xiaogang agreed readily, and Chen Yu quickly thanked him.

Although he knew that this role was definitely a sideshow.

Moreover, for Feng Xiaogang's movies, you can't get good roles just by auditioning; for movies produced by Huayi, Huayi's own actors will definitely be chosen first, and only after they pick the rest will they get his turn.

Unless, Huayi digs him up.

But the current Chen Yu is obviously not at the level where Wang Jinhua can pay 1000 million liquidated damages for him.

Therefore, this agreement is basically just a verbal agreement. When the filming actually starts, we don’t know what the situation will be like.

However, Chen Yu was full of gratitude for Lu Xuechang's recommendation.

Lu Xuechang was not Hua Yi's director, they just had a cooperative relationship. Later, it seems that after "Kara", he had some health problems, so he could only direct independently, mostly with small budgets and small characters.

In fact, this director's ability is definitely there.

Chen Yu still thought about signing him and Li Yang to his company when he became popular.

With him providing the script and checking the film, there won't be any major problems after it's released.

He can also try to make movies and be a director.

But the premise of everything is that he wants to be popular.

Otherwise, why would others enter your company?

In the entertainment industry, just having money is of no use. You have to have a certain degree of influence, or... have enough money to a certain extent, like Boss Ma or Wanda King.

That's another level.

"Let's go, it's almost time!"

"It's time for us to set off, let's warm up to the premiere first!"

Although "Kara" will be released on the 19th, advance viewing has been started in several large theaters in the imperial capital, mainly to see the audience's feedback; this is similar to the operation of "Hero" being released in the city.

However, there is another big reason for the release of "Heroes", which is that it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; Oscar regulations stipulate that applications must be submitted before October 10st, but the film must be released in the country for more than a week to be eligible.

Therefore, Lao Mouzi did this as a last resort.

Chen Yu followed Feng Xiaogang and Lu Xuechang, and then picked up Ge You, Li Qinqin and Ding Jiali. A group of seven or eight people drove towards the Xindong'an Cinema on Wangfujing Street.

The premiere of "Cara is a Dog" was held in this theater.

This is a theater chain that has not officially opened yet. It is currently in the trial operation stage, and the official opening seems to be in the New Year.

Therefore, the facilities of the entire theater chain are definitely the most advanced nowadays. There are few more luxurious ones in the entire imperial capital. It is definitely the flagship cinema.

Moreover, Xindongan has a great background.

The full name of the theater is - Imperial China Film Alliance Anle Xindongan Cinema!

It is Xiangjiang Broadway Cinema, a new multiplex cinema invested in China, with China Film taking the lead.

Broadway Theater is the largest theater chain in Hong Kong. There are currently 12 theaters in Hong Kong, accounting for more than 40% of the Hong Kong film market. Its parent company, Anle Pictures, is the investor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero".

This is also the first batch of approved joint venture cinemas in China.

Huayi can hold a premiere in such a theater, which is enough to show that it is optimistic about the film.

When Chen Yu and his party arrived, countless movie fans, film critics, and reporters were already standing at the entrance of the theater, waiting for the theater to release; and a huge "Kara is a Dog" advertising sign was hung on the The most conspicuous location outside the theater entrance.

Pedestrians coming and going on Wangfujing Street can basically be seen by looking up.

Uncle Ge's signature face occupies the entire page, and Liangliang, played by Chen Yu, actually has a small appearance.

"Ge You is here!"

Seeing Ge You, Feng Xiaogang and his entourage arrive at the entrance of the theater, countless reporters and audiences were obviously in a state of shock.

Fortunately, the security guards were there in time to maintain order, but there was still a lot of commotion at the entrance to the theater.

"Queue up to enter!"

"Don't be crowded, I'll wait for you in Cinema No. 1!"

Ge You said loudly, and then he was carried to the theater.

After a while, movie fans, film critics bought their tickets, and journalists got free tickets and took their seats in Hall 1 of the premiere.

The entire new theater, with more than 60 seats, was packed to capacity, and even the aisles were packed with people.

Chen Yu, Ge You and other main creators stood under the big screen of the theater.

"OK, our premiere begins now!"

A master of ceremonies specially invited by the theater chain saw that there were almost no people seated, so he hurriedly walked onto the stage.

The premiere of "Cara is a Dog" has officially begun!
