"Painted Skin" is still in the later stages, mainly for the special effects part.

According to the scheduled plan, it will be completed in April.

Then, go to Cannes in May to sell overseas copyrights and release the National Day holiday...

Why must it be the National Day holiday?

First of all, May and June, a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters are released, "Iron Man", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" and "Kung Fu Panda".

You must avoid it!

Even if Chen Mengxi is willing to be strong once, the issuer is not willing to...

What about July?

"Red Cliff (Part 1)" was released with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and is a work by the great director Wu Yusen. "Painted Skin" is a movie with a box office attempt. Of course, it is impossible to choose to fight "Red Cliff (Part 1)" head-on...

There are no blockbusters in August, but there are Olympics in August!

Are you competing with the Olympics for spectators?

With this calculation, except for the National Day holiday, other schedules are indeed inappropriate...

The "Notice on Reaffirming the Standards of Film Censorship" issued by the General Administration clearly states that videos containing obscene pornography, vulgarity and low-level, murderous, violent, terror, ghosts, supernatural and other content should be deleted and modified before they can be released in mainland China.

The horror part can be ignored - except for the part where Xiao Wei painted skin, the entire "Painted Skin" has nothing to do with horror!

The main focus is emotion!

But there is another question. After all, the concept of "Painted Skin" comes from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Will it offend some people's nerves?

Chen Mengxi simply went to Zhongying in person and asked the third master.

The third master has read the concept design of "Painted Skin" and knows what kind of story this thing tells, so he comforted Chen Mengxi: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely pass."

"What if I can't get through?"

The third master smiled and said, "If you can't pass, it means that I, Han Sanping, have all my energy!"

He said so, Chen Mengxi chose to shut up...

...

"That part Zhou Xun took out the hearts of the patrol soldiers, and cut them with the bloody heart to prepare for eating. No, just cut them, cut them into a long view, don't give them a close-up... Yes, it's too bloody... Also, cut the passionate scene in the cave shorter and give a hint... Just these two, don't change the others!"

"Don't worry, I know what I do, a professional producer!"

"I told you, I just asked the third master for a while. There are always some preferential treatments for blockbusters. If we really want to ban us, who will invest in movies in the future?"

"Well... boldly cut, "Red Cliff" has bed scenes, why can't we have bed scenes in "Painted Skin" at all..."

"As long as it is not a frontal nude shot, you can pass the passionate scene..."

"...I'll go to negotiate with investors, they know nothing! You can do it with peace of mind and don't worry about this."

In the back seat of the car, Chen Mengxi was calling Urshan, mainly to comfort him, who was a little panicked.

The last notice from the General Administration was the "Movie Management Regulations" issued in December 2001, which stipulates that those who engage in the production, import, and distribution business of films without permission, or hold Chinese and foreign film exhibitions, international film festivals, or provide films to participate in overseas films without authorization, shall not engage in related film business within 5 years...

Then, the beautiful days of those young people who were doing underground movies and were in full swing.

Then it triggered the seven gentlemen who wrote a letter to the film industry, and the General Administration announced that the past would be cleared, which was considered as the ban on these people...

Then what?

Jia Zhangke's own book said: Just at the Beijing Film Academy, most of the so-called "sixth generation" directors were announced that day to be lifted. A government official said, "Today we will lift the ban for you, but you must understand that you will soon become an underground movie in the market economy. At first we didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now, the market has taught us...

So what impact will this "Notice" have?

I don’t know yet, but it’s because I don’t know that people are panic!

Chen Mengxi was also a little nervous at the beginning. After all, everyone around him was frightened. After half a day, he felt that he was very funny. The original time and space, "Painted Skin" was also released - the bed scene was not deleted!

I'm a little scaring myself...

Then I went to talk about these things with Wu Ershan.

...

In a private restaurant in the northern suburbs, Li Xiaowan took Lin Shen, Yang Xiaomi and the three of them sat in a private room waiting for the arrival of Chen Mengxi.

On the one hand, I’m grateful. After all, Chen Mengxi used Yang Xiaomi twice, and there may be a third time - if the TV series "Painted Skin" is launched, Yang Xiaomi will also star in...

On the other hand, I found out about the project Chen Mengxi’s hand, “Mobile Maze”…

Lin Shen studied in Australia and was very good at English. She wanted Chen Mengxi to recommend it...

Of course, it depends on whether Chen Mengxi is willing or not!

After contacting each other in the past two years, Li Xiaowan has a rough understanding of Chen Mengxi: being strong, not being hard!

Also, the movies and TV series they make are well-related, and almost all the national or TV stations help me to endorse the movies and TV series...

This young man is not simple.

You can't make enemies casually!

She didn't know that Chen Mengxi wanted to push this appointment directly - she was too busy and kept calling investors from all over the world to calm their emotions...

So, it was only five minutes after entering the private room, and Chen Mengxi's phone rang again...

“…I’m so sorry, I’ll answer the phone!”

Chen Mengxi picked up his cell phone, got up and left the private room...

Lin Shen was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so busy?"

Li Xiaowan: "...it should be the matter of "Painted Skin". The above has issued a new notice and the review will be tightened. "Painted Skin" is a supernatural theme and must be the key target...Xiaomi, didn't you shoot "Painted Skin"?"

"…I read the script and it feels like a love scene. When I was filming, it feels like an action movie. It has nothing to do with supernaturalism anyway. The producer said that this is a magical theme!"

“…will it be banned?”

Li Xiaowan waved his hand: "You are thinking too much, China Film Studio, released, and endorsed by the three major national characters!"

Soon, Chen Mengxi walked in again. This time he turned off his phone and apologized: "I'm sorry, I had a call that I had to answer just now..."

"It's okay, I'm all doing producers, I can understand."

Li Xiaowan smiled, got up and filled Chen Mengxi's cup with water, and asked tentatively: "Is it because of "Painted Skin"?"

"…almost…"

"I have been a producer for some time and have dealt with many things with them. If you believe me, I will tell you the situation and I will analyze it for you..."

Chen Mengxi pursed his lips slightly, wanting to complain, 'What you do is TV series, even if it is a movie, there is a Beijing Film Studio to help you stand on the platform. He has always been in the system, and he has a lot of experience!', but he still smiled: "It's almost over, but a few investors are worried..."

"…hehe."

Stop this topic, change it!

Li Xiaowan photographed Yang Xiaomi, who held the wine glass and wanted to stand up. Li Xiaowan said: "Our Xiaomi has always wanted to thank Shen Producer in person..."

"Producer Li, just call me Mengxi!"

"Then I'll be proud of you and call you Mengxi. Don't be polite, call me Aunt Li, okay?"

Chen Mengxi was stunned and then laughed: "Then I'll climb onto it, Aunt Li!"

Yang Xiaomi's eyes rolled and she continued: "Then I'm going to have an extra brother?"

Li Xiaowan took the opportunity and said, "Yes, I wish you a cup for your brother!"

Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "...No, I drove here... Let's just drink tea..."
Chapter completed!
