Chapter 185 Celebrating Mother's Birthday, What's the Pay? (1/3)
Of course, Chen Mengxi didn’t really come to ask for money.
"Departure Today" participated in the Busan and Tokyo Film Festival and sold some overseas copyrights.
How much does it cost?
Add one and it doesn’t cost 100,000!
Just tell you that if Haitui Company sells overseas copyrights, it is really half sold and half given away.
How much was the Japanese benzene distribution rights sold in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" back then?
30,000 yuan, RMB!
Later, Haitui simply stopped doing business and held a "Beijing Screening" every year, inviting guests from some small markets in Africa, South America and Eastern Europe to $600 a movie...
It's true!
The official channels basically don't want to make money...
As for TV copyright and video copyright, if you add one, it will only cost 1.2 million yuan, even if you distribute it to Mengxi Company...
What Chen Mengxi wants is the posture of Zhongying!
Therefore, the third master sincerely apologized, and Chen Mengxi took a step back...
This topic has been revealed, and the third master asked about "Manchester by the Sea"...
"That book is very tragic, and I can't see any hope, but Oscars only use this set. I think it's no problem to get a few nominations..."
"Oscar nomination?"
“Well,” Shen Mengxi added: “We are going to be exhibiting from the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, Cannes, Toronto, and then released in November, aiming for awards season… This is the standard award-winning route…”
"By the prize?"
"Han Gong, the mainstream Hollywood film industry is divided into commercial films and award-winning films. There is no need to mention commercial films. For award-winning types, you have to create momentum from the beginning..."
Chen Mengxi popularized the awards ceremony season for a while, and then said a little regretfully, "It was because "Farewell My Concubine" did not spend a cent during the awards ceremony season."
The third master smacked his lips and asked Chen Mengxi: "Then do you think we can win the Oscar?"
Chen Mengxi shook his head: "There is no need to regard Oscars as a goal, guard your own market and develop yourself. In time, as the country and nation strength go up, Chinese films will naturally export to the external market. At that time, a bunch of American films come to China to participate in the selection, which is the movie power!"
Having talked about this, Chen Mengxi was about to say goodbye.
Everything is done...
The third master suddenly asked him: "Xiao Shen, do you have any ideas about the gift film?"
"Treasure film?"
"Next year will not be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."
The third master told the story of "The Founding of the Country"...
"The Founding of a Country" is a tribute project of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The General Administration suggested that Han Sanye personally take charge of the director. You should know that at this time, Han Dong had not directed the drama himself for 18 years, and he had done too many tribute films, and no one seemed to be a money-selling work...
What interested him was a commercial masterpiece like "The Siege of October".
Chen Mengxi made a suggestion: "If you want to make a big splash, you can only use the All-Star lineup and imitate the World War II movie "The Longest Day". All characters must be played by stars, even if they are just one line."
“…”
The third master frowned...
It’s not that this method is not good, but... how to calculate the pay?
Chen Mengxi disagreed: "It's all for the motherland's birthday, what kind of salary do you need?"
This is how the original time and space did it, and later it even gave birth to a production model: a tribute film with pride in the main theme of the genius. This type has Chinese characteristics... The biggest bonus is the free actors!
"The Great Founding of the Party" and "The Great Founding of the Army" are all created according to this model!
The third master felt aroused: "Is this OK?"
Chen Mengxi looked at it for granted: "Of course, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, every Chinese feels honored. The actors are first Chinese, and then they can talk about art. Let them perform tribute films. That is their honor!"
"…Then you come to be a director?"
Chen Mengxi immediately changed his expression: "I can't..."
"Why not? Didn't you say that you would celebrate your motherland's birthday?"
"What I photographed may not pass the trial... I know very well what the Gorge Party did! Let me put it this way, I think Chiang Kai-shek's failure was destined from the beginning because they stood opposite the people!"
The third master shook his head regretfully...
This involves the basic understanding of historical figures and some real-time control...
The original version of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has nothing big problem, except that it portrays Chiang Kai-shek as a tragic hero and Comrade Jianfeng as a completely positive character...
According to the view of some extreme media, even if you let the other side take photos, it will be like this at most!
Chen Mengxi agreed very much, and her butt was sitting in a crooked manner!
"The Founding of a Country"!
Why did the Gorge fail?
The essential reason is that they are completely opposite to the people, not corruption...
Why can our party win?
Because we represent the interests of the vast majority of the people and have received the support of the people!
But in "The Founding of a Country", what are the images of the two?
There is nothing to do with the people at all. Comrade Jianfeng is busy fighting corruption, and Mr. Zhongzheng is also devoted to serving the country...
Our leaders, that image...
After a little analysis, you will know who "The Uncle Jianguo" is biased towards!
If Chen Mengxi is directing the film, he can change the entire story position...
But it is not possible now, because cross-strait relations are developing steadily, and we have fantasies about peaceful reunification...
There is no good idea for Director Han, so he can only take pictures like this!
When it comes to "The Great Founding of the Army" and "The Decisive Moment", they begin to show the true side of the Fruit Party little by little...
...
"Dong Han needs more than 100 stars to film "The Founding of the Country". You can contact Li Yiping and Cai Yinong and ask them to volunteer to get the opportunity to show their faces for the artists under their command. Even if there are no lines, they will still be there!"
From the shadow came out, Chen Mengxi immediately reminded Zhao Jinsong...
"How much does it cost to have a hundred or dozens of people?"
"What kind of pay is required to celebrate the birthday of the motherland? I tell you that Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua will come, and there is no pay for a penny! This movie will create a box office miracle! At this time, you must compete for the first place. If it comes too late, you can't even drink soup."
Zhao Jinsong was shocked for a long time, and then quickly called Li Yiping...
What Chen Mengxi said, "We must compete for the first place at this time. It's too late to even drink soup!" It's not a joke. In the original time and space, Zhou Xingchi called Huang Jianxin, the director of "The Founding of the Kingdom", but he still couldn't get the role because at that time, "The Founding of the Kingdom" had already been completed!
After calling, Zhao Jinsong thought for a while and said, "Treasure films are a good business. When we have the opportunity in the future, we will make our own tribute films!"
“…Let’s talk about it then!”
Gift films are not something you can do just want to do...
Comrade Lenin once said, 'The most important thing in all art is film!'
This is also the reason why we watched movies so importantly in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, directing the promotion of movies with the mindset of model operas.
All kinds of heroes...
Then I was taught to be a human being by the market!
Later, we summarized the experience and tribute films should also be consistent with the characteristics of commercial films.
Even so, the one who can do "My Motherland and Me" and "Climber" is still Chinese Movie, Shanghai Film...
All that is left to private companies is the main theme...
Chapter completed!
