Big names rise

Next year is the year of the Olympics, and the 29th Summer Olympics will be held in Beijing. This has aroused great enthusiasm for sports among the Chinese people. Various forms of activities to welcome the Olympics have been carried out on the land of China. The entertainment circle will definitely be obliged by that time Rush to the front line, but few people invest in sports-related movies, probably because they feel that there is no fame or profit.

He Mu can't remember the last time he saw a sports movie made by a Chinese. It was "Women's Football No. [-]" directed by Xie Jin, or "The Handsome Male Soldier" starring Jiang Wenli and Liu Ye, or "The Handsome Male Soldier" by Master Xing. Shaolin Soccer is also considered one.In short, these are all films made more than n years ago, and in recent years, He Mu has not seen any Chinese competitive films, maybe there are still people making them, but none of them can enter the public's attention. Standing out, an important genre has almost completely disappeared from the territory of Chinese-language movies.

In fact, not only sports themes, but also children’s themes and biographical themes are also facing the problem of exhaustion. A few years ago, there were classics such as “The Grass House” in children’s films, but now there are only some low-level cartoons left. Biographical films Apart from filming typical characters of our party, there is nothing to say. In fact, we have never had serious biopics. He Mu hopes that Chinese people can make classics like "A Beautiful Mind" instead of those promotional films that sing praises.

In short, there is a serious lack of types of Chinese-language films. In the eyes of filmmakers, there are only two types of films: commercial films, which are used to make money, and literary films, which are used to win awards. , neither can make money.It is rare to win an award, so what are we doing here?This is the common thinking of domestic filmmakers, which is very regrettable for a film lover like He Mu.If he has the opportunity and ability, he hopes to change this situation. It doesn’t take much. Every year, there are one and a half high-quality films of various genres, which can be regarded as the kindling of Chinese-language films.

So when Li Yifeng said that he wrote a script about Ding Junhui, He Mu immediately thought of the two types of sports and biography, if it is done well.This movie even does a great job of rescuing two declining genres.

He Mu entertained guests at Quanjude in the evening, and Zuo Jun escaped from his busy work. The failure of "Du Lala" made Mr. Li very angry. As the person in charge, Zuo Jun is now trying to save the book. He feels that he should be able to save the book, according to the analysis of the book market wind direction group.Workplace and officialdom novels will be upstarts in the book market for some time to come. "Du Lala" definitely has the strength to become a member of these upstarts.In addition to those old friends of He Mu, Li Yifeng, who was newly acquainted today, also came.

Li Yifeng went home and fetched the script. He Mu and Wang Mingfei first read the script, and then unanimously commented, "garbage".

Sure enough, not everyone can write a good script. Li Yifeng's script has a good idea, but the writing is really not good.

Ding Junhui participated in the famous Wembley Masters in January this year, although Wembley is not a ranking match.But it has a long history, older than the UK Championship.And if you want to participate in this competition, you must have the top [-] players last season to have the opportunity, so the level and influence of this competition are very high.

In the semi-finals, "Child Prodigy" Ding Junhui defeated "Billiards Emperor" Hendry 6-2, successfully entered the final, and started a championship battle with "Rocket" O'Sullivan.In this match against Hendry, Ding Junhui scored a full score of 147 for the first time in his career, which is a shot from the beginning to the end, and he is the youngest player with a full score in the history of TV broadcasting.

Li Yifeng's script also started from this round of full marks. The highlight of this script lies in its structure and creativity.The script uses Ding Junhui's No.1 name to describe his career, and the script is filled with a lot of voice-overs.

From the first shot of this full-score game, Ding Junhui began to recall, and then interspersed with a short memory and monologue every time he scored a goal, telling about his journey from the first time he touched billiards when he was a child to the day when he became famous today. There was persistence, hard work, struggle, and confusion and hesitation, but he finally overcame these negative emotions and was able to stand on the field today. When he hit the last black ball that symbolized 7 points, he completed his first When one stroke was 147, the audience burst into applause, and the script ended here.

He Mu appreciates the structure of the script, but Li Yifeng's skills are not good enough. This is his first time writing a script, and there are many problems. It was originally a very inspirational story, but in Li Yifeng's writing, there is nothing moving. He has more It's because of Ding Junhui's talent that he spends a lot of money, which seems a bit showy.And because he is an admirer of Ding Junhui, Ding Junhui is portrayed too perfectly in the script, and he is a little less popular. This is also a place that biographical movies are relatively exclusive. In short, if this script is to be used in filming, major surgery must be done .

"How about selling this script to me?" It was not He Mu who said this, but Wang Mingfei.

Although He Mu is a little interested in this script, but he personally does not have the ability to put this story on the big screen. If he recommends the script to Xiao Fang and invests it with Hulang, he must first consider whether it can make a profit. He can't cheat Xiao Fang. let it go.

This movie involves filming in multiple countries, especially in the UK. Although there are no big scenes, the investment is definitely not a small amount, at least it is at the level of a medium-produced TV series. Judging from the current sports-themed market, it can It's good to release it on the theaters, and it's almost impossible to recover the cost. This kind of movie means that you don't want to make money when it's made.

Moreover, Tiger Wolf has always focused on the field of TV dramas. Although movies are filmed like TV dramas, they involve different aspects. Xiao Fang seldom deals with the movie industry, and his subordinates do not have talents for film distribution and shooting. It means that the shooting rights and distribution work will have to be handed over to other companies at that time, which is very risky for Hulang, and with Xiao Fang's prudence, he will not rashly step into the film industry.

Thinking of this, He Mu lost interest in the script, but Wang Mingfei didn't expect to speak at this time.

After asking for the first time, Wang Mingfei said again, "I have a relationship with Bayi Studios. Now everyone wants to do something for next year's Olympic Games. Bayi Studios has always wanted to make a sports-related movie. It’s just that the Bayi Factory has always been shooting military-themed works, and there is no suitable script of this type on hand. I saw this "One Shot 147" today, and I think it is quite good. I can try to get in touch with them. "

He Mu knows that Wang Mingfei's father works as a department leader in the Bayi Factory. Maybe she can really succeed. However, the biggest problem with this movie is probably whether Ding Junhui will allow it. After all, no active athlete in China has ever had such a biographical movie. Whether he can dare to be the first is still unknown.

I don't know if Li Yifeng sold the script to Wang Mingfei and He Mu. Li Yifeng said that he would consider it. Wang Mingfei said that they can discuss it in detail in private. This so-called private discussion in detail is not clear to He Mu.

He Mu who is free is nothing more than flipping through the script of "Painted Skin" to construct his antique script, or sneaking to the cinema to watch a movie in the dead of night, and he is alone. Zi Lin's competition has entered a fierce stage. He Mu is now Don't even dare to call her.

A while ago, He Mu watched "The Sun Also Rises" starring Jaycee Jaycee. This is the third work of director Jiang Wen, and it is also the second director of "The Devil Is Coming" after being banned for many years, which has attracted much attention.

However, it may be that Jiang Wen is too persistent in expressing his artistic appeal. Compared with the previous two works, this "The Sun" is too obscure and difficult to understand, and the narrative sequence is also very subversive, which makes people a little confused.Jiang Wen's movies are fast-paced, especially this "The Sun", every frame is so clean and neat, He Mu is very cool to watch, but the plot really makes him confused, after reading those film critics After various interpretations, he became even more confused.

Maybe it’s because everyone didn’t understand the reason, Jiang Wen’s work, which was given high hopes and gathered big stars such as Jiang Wen, Chen Chong, Huang Qiusheng, Fang Zuming, etc., did not do well at the box office. It was only 2000 million when it was released. , far from meeting expectations, not even as high as the production cost of the movie, this time the investors were miserably cheated by Jiang Wen.

What He Mu is watching now is the Hong Kong movie "Sharpshooter and Smart Stars" starring his friend Tang Yu. It is produced by Wang Jing. It is a work above the pass line. It is good for leisure and entertainment. Don't expect to have any depth if you have a relationship with Wang Jing , as long as it's not too shitty, it's fine.According to Tangtang, she will have a movie released at the end of the year, with Zeng Zhiwei, Xia Yu, Liang Yongqi and other big names working together. Speaking of these names, He Mu can only express her envy.

But soon he also became the envy of others, because the nomination list for the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards was announced.

He Mu did not expect that he could get two nominations. With his outstanding performance in "The True Colors of a Man", He Mu won two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer. This is the first time he has made such a film. , He Mu's performance is enviable.

In addition to two nominations for He Mu, "The True Colors of a Man" also won nominations for Best Action Design and Best Original Film Score respectively.The big brother Wu Jing in his play was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The two supporting roles in this movie are really outstanding. In this category, Gu Tianle ("Disciple") and Liang Jiahui ("Warrior") were also nominated. .The Drum"), they also performed well in their respective movies, and He Mu's chances of winning are not great.

It doesn't count if this one thing is okay, He Mu is destined to have good things come in pairs.

After the No. 27 Golden Horse nomination list was announced, the next day was the final night of the Miss World Contest in China. Zhang Zilin is one of the strong contenders for the championship... (to be continued...)
