Millennium director

The movie with the prefix Jian should be regarded as the most profitable movie made by China Film Group in the field of commercial films since its establishment.

With its reputation as a gift film, actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places competed to star in it, and they all participated on the basis of friendship. Although the remuneration was not zero, it was only a small red envelope that was enough.

This leads to the fact that films with the prefix Jian can often feature hundreds of domestic star actors, but the cost is not high, and most of them are used for practical purposes.

There is no shortage of veteran actors and popular stars, and the money has been put to practical use. In addition, the script is a serious epic, which makes the box office performance of The Founding of the People's Republic of China very gratifying.

In 2009, the film's half-day box office grossed 14.77 million yuan, setting a new opening day box office record. It was screened for 4 and a half days in the first week and made 124.36 million yuan in box office. The final box office of the film was nearly 400 million yuan, and it directly became a China Film Production The most successful movie.

As the chief producers and chief directors, Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin also enjoyed the benefits greatly. They discovered the wealth code and immediately started preparations for the second gift film The Founding of the Party, preparing to launch the party in 2011. Presented on the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary.

On the one hand, it is to complete the production task of the main theme movie above, and on the other hand, it is also to make some money for China Film.

Unfortunately, in the past ten years, China Film's main theme movies all ended in losses. This is not the era in the 1960s and 1970s when various main theme movies dominated the market.

Today's audiences don't like to watch movies with main themes at all. The emergence of The Founding of the People's Republic of China can be said to be a way for mainland movies with main themes to be rediscovered after they fell into the quagmire.

Last month, The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party was officially launched. It still brought together hundreds of famous actors in the industry, and the lineup was even larger. Directors such as Li Shaohong, Lu Jie, Shen Dong, etc. also took on part of the directing work and co-directed.

However, Han Sanping just started with this matter. He never thought that Wu Yuan would agree to co-direct The Founding of the Party. The chief directors of this film could only be Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin, and Wu Yuan could not act as a co-director for them.

As expected, when Wu Yuan heard this, he smiled and shook his head: Director Han, I am in love with you from the wrong side. I still have a lot of things to do at hand. I am really powerless!

Hey! Han Sanping stepped forward and took Wu Yuan's hand. He was waiting for your words!

As long as you have this intention!

Han Sanping said with a smile: Director Wu hasn't made this film as a gift to the country, right?

Director Wu, I'm not telling you. As the most influential and influential young director in China today, you can't help but take this gift to the country seriously.

This Wu Yuan was a little confused, whether Director Han was persuading him from the perspective of China Film Group, or whether it was Director Han who was asked to persuade him from above.

If it was China Film Group, Wu Yuan would have refused without hesitation. He was really not interested in giving gifts or anything like that.

Moreover, Gravity can be regarded as half a tribute film. At least it enjoys the treatment of a gift film, and the effect is similar to that of a gift film, but there is no tribute in the subject matter.

But if it was the intention of the higher-ups, then Wu Yuan would have to think about it carefully.

He hesitated for a moment and did not refuse directly, but said in a roundabout way: I can't make it for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party next year. I can't schedule it in the second half of the year. I can't make a hasty gift film. Then The gift would not be successful, but would be perfunctory.

It doesn't matter! Who knew, but Director Han said more happily: Director Wu's movie must be well prepared.

This is a gift video for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-FXS War and the Chinese Anti-Japanese War in 2015.

As a tribute to the founding of the Party next year, The Great Cause of Party Founding will be enough!

Damn, it turned out to be waiting here!

It's only 2010, but Director Han is already thinking about things in 2015. He has really far-reaching plans.

But he was right to do so. With Wu Yuan's current busyness and work schedule, if he didn't set a project with him a few years in advance and wait until two years later, he might not have time, or it might disrupt his work. Planned.

It's 2015, Wu Yuan said, thinking about it.

September 3, 2015 is the 70th anniversary. If it wants to be released on this day, filming will start in 2014 and the script will be written in 2013. Indeed, there is not much time left for him to prepare.

He has finished working on several films in 2012, so he can just start preparing for this tribute film.

But, what kind of gift film should be made to be considered outstanding?

Wu Yuan's mind was almost blank.

As a tribute film, and to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory over France, the subject matter must be related to World War II. On the one hand, it must reflect the anti-war significance, and on the other hand, it must pay tribute to the bloody battles of our ancestors, which led to the current peace.

It seems simple to say, but in this theme that has been filmed countless times by directors around the world, it is not easy to make a good film that fans will remember, and there are even fewer Chinese themes.

The only film that Wu Yuan could think of that was not produced by China Film Group Corporation was The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling directed by Yimou. However, this movie was released in 2011, and its reputation was polarizing and not that good.

If you want him to make a tribute film that will be released in 2015, there seems to be no other better choice than writing the script yourself!

Or move out My Motherland and Me or My Fathers and Me?

No one disturbed Wu Yuan's contemplation. Even Director Han stood there quietly, waiting for Wu Yuan's response.

After a few minutes, he came back to his senses from his divergent thoughts and smiled sheepishly: Sorry, Director Han, I was just thinking about how to take the best photo.

I know about this, and I will take it to heart. Let's talk about it in detail later.

In the end, Wu Yuan agreed to Director Han.

With Director Han's proactive guidance, he expressed the hope that he would take the photo both inside and outside of his words. It was obvious that this was not just Han Director's personal idea, he must have received instructions from his superiors.

It is also understandable that after filming Gravity, it is impossible for the superiors not to pay attention to Wu Yuan as a director, and they also believe that Wu Yuan can make excellent movies with the main theme.

In this case, the superiors are definitely not willing to let Wu Yuan go completely. The era of domestic state-owned film studios has only been a few years ago. The old leaders still have some administrative customary views and issue some political issues to directors. Tasks are also normal.

Since he wants to work within this system, Wu Yuan can also accept some tasks and responsibilities given by the organization without disrupting his own plans.

Then it's settled!

Director Han showed a relaxed smile after completing his mission, When your Interstellar premieres in the country in a few days, I will definitely be there to support you! (End of Chapter)
