The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 54 Who can stop Hollywood blockbusters?

Late May.

The Hollywood blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow" was released. In just one week, it surpassed the mainland's highest-grossing movie this year: "Baby in Love."

The latter, with a box office of 15 million, was directed by Li Shaohong, produced by Rong Xingda, and starred by Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Li Xiaoran and Huang Jue.

Then in the second week, "The Day After Tomorrow" surpassed this year's highest-grossing Chinese-language film: "Magic Kitchen."

The latter has a box office of just over 20 million and is a Hong Kong movie starring Yan Chengxu and Andy Lau.

So far, the box office of "The Day After Tomorrow" has ranked second in the whole year, second only to another Hollywood blockbuster: "Lord of the Rings 3".

The latter's box office was more than 86 million, which was 30 million more than last year's box office champion "Mobile Phone"!

Judging from the box office trend shown by "The Day After Tomorrow", it is only a matter of time before it surpasses "Mobile Phone".

There is even a chance for 80 million.

And then there are "Troy", "Spider-Man 2", and "Harry Potter".

“Who can stop Hollywood blockbusters?”

Relevant media put out such slogans.

The eyes of industry insiders can't help but focus on "House of Flying Daggers", which will be released in the summer vacation.

Zhang Yimou also came out of the military area and began to cooperate with other main creators to promote "House of Flying Daggers".

Zhang Weiping once again forced the theater chain to increase the box office share ratio from the original 40% to 41%.
"Are you still going to use Han Jiadong as your name in "Juno"?"

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Han Sanpin called Han Jiadong to the study after caring about his daughter's studies.

Han Jiadong was surprised: "'Juno' is going to be introduced?"

The theme of this movie is undoubtedly good, and it explores youth, human care, and growth.

But moviegoers won’t see that much.

Especially for ignorant adolescent girls.

For them, the biggest feeling after watching this is probably: in adolescence, if you find a boy you like and taste the forbidden fruit, even if you get pregnant as a result, even if the boy doesn't take the responsibility, if you work hard to give birth to the child alone, it will be worth a lifetime. Romantic memories to treasure.

So even in places like North America, this movie caused quite a stir.

If it were released in China, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So it’s okay to cause harm to foreign countries. Han Jiadong had no intention of releasing this film domestically from the beginning.

Han Sanpin mused: "With a few changes, it can still be released."

After all, it is his son's movie, and it is indeed a very good movie. Han Sanpin still wants to see this movie released in China.

Han Jiadong shook his head.

改？
How to change it?
The heroine died in childbirth?

Or dystocia, two guarantees and one guarantee?

"Forget it, not many people will watch this type of film even after it is introduced."

Han Jiadong first rejected the proposal of introduction before talking about the name issue.

"It's fine if I just use my real name. Don't let China Film Group change my name in the future."

Han Sanpin frowned: "Didn't Huayi change the name?"

"No! I asked Wang Zhonglei and he said he used my original name."

"But I don't have any..."

Han Sanpin stopped mid-sentence: "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

"Hey! Xiao Wang, what's the name of the director of "Shoplifters"?"

"When did I say that Xiaodong's name should be kept secret?"

"Mr. Li...Okay, you are not allowed to change any movie information without my personal order from now on."...

After hanging up the phone and facing his son's questioning look, Han Sanpin sighed.

"Alas! I haven't sat in that position yet. Some people won't give up after all!"

Then he shook his head again: "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."

……

Late June.

After the exam, Wang Weihong introduced Han Jiadong to a practical opportunity.

Go and help senior brother Ning Hao make a movie.

Han Jiadong neither agreed nor refused, but went to see Ning Hao.

Compared with the high spirits of a few months ago, Ning Hao now seemed a little decadent.

The boss who had previously promised to invest has decided to withdraw his capital, but Ning Hao can't say anything to him. After all, he has been left with 100,000 yuan.

During this period, he had been looking for investment from other bosses, but when they heard that it was a literary film or a purely Tibetan film, they completely lost interest in talking about it.

But Ning Hao is not someone who gives up so easily.

When filming "Incense", he had tens of thousands of yuan alone and dared to find a few people to do it.

Now someone has helped with 100,000 yuan, and I still have 100,000 yuan that I saved from helping others shoot the MV. Teacher Wang Weihong from Nortel is willing to help, and senior Si Gaoqinwa is also willing to help solve the problem of group performances at the venue, so what else? What's there to be afraid of?

But forget about film movies.

A roll of film costs fifteen hundred, but it can only take four minutes.

Although he is not like Jiang Wen who used nearly 500,000 feet of film in one movie, more than 200,000 yuan is definitely not enough.

Even if each tape can be used to shoot forty minutes, but only costs 500 yuan for digital shooting, this amount of money will most likely not be enough.

However, he still decided to take pictures, and whatever he could get at that time was worth it.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, a group of friends at the wine table chipped in with each other and gave him another 100,000 yuan.

Although it was impossible for Han Jiadong to help, he spent the 100,000 yuan director's fee for the filming of "Shoplifters".

Later, when the movie became a hit, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Changtian and the others thought of giving Han Jiadong a big red envelope, but Han Jiadong refused.

He only takes what he deserves.

If you were a new director before, then you would only get paid as a new director.

Now that there are achievements, let’s follow the results.

"Xiuchundao" is a basic director's fee plus a share of the box office.

He paid for it happily and easily, but Ning Hao was deeply moved.

After all, this kind of niche literary film has no chance of reaching theaters. Even if it wins awards, the copyrights can hardly be sold. Investing money in it is like throwing it into the water.

Especially this junior brother who usually doesn't seem to be very close to me, but he is unexpectedly a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

Moved, Ning Hao also made a bold statement, saying that when he becomes prosperous in the future, he will take good care of Han Jiadong, his junior brother, and take Han Jiadong to make movies and so on.

After getting together with Ning Hao, Han Jiadong took a flight to North America and officially started filming "300 Spartans".

Although Zhang Yimou is busy with promotions and has to prepare performances for the Olympic Games closing ceremony, he still spends at least two days a week here to participate in guidance.

Compared with domestic shooting, which is almost all real scenes, the shooting of "300" is just the opposite. There are few real scenes, and almost all are shot against a green cloth background, and the rest will be left to post-production special effects.

Under this mode, coupled with Han Jiadong's full control and no time wasted on redundant shots, and Zhang Yimou's help in planning the most time-consuming and laborious big scene shots, the filming progress of the movie progressed very quickly.

In less than a month, it came to an end.

　Thanks to Xiao 5, Book Friends 20170710111346884, Xiao Da Xiao Fan, and we will talk about the monthly passes in the future!
