Chapter 292 The mad director... (3/5)
It should have been since last year that the Chinese and Chinese Media and Chinese Media began to enter the film industry.
After participating in "Mulan" and "October Siege", he is also preparing to sign director Kaige University...
The industry was in an uproar!
These two are large media companies with national...
The Media of Culture and Radio and Television has Oriental TV, while the Media of Television and Radio and Television has Mango TV...
Just as they said: the publicity and financial advantages we have determine that our strategy is to be high-end and establish our position in the film market in the shortest time.
Chen Mengxi didn't want to bird them at first, and he knew this history - these two companies completely bid farewell to the film industry.
Because I can't play with the market!
But at least in the past two years, the two companies still have the publicity strength...
Think about what the hell was like when "Three Guns" was released!
The movie is still being released, Mango TV's "Zero Point Fengyun", including Oriental TV and Jiangsu TV have criticized "Three Guns" on TV...
TV shows directly criticize a movie that is being released?
Could it be that I really lamented A’s depravity?
Let’s talk nonsense!
It’s not because of the same period that several satellite TV stations have invested in “October Siege”!
Chen Mengxi is not Ah, who can be calm and gentle, not happy with things or sad with oneself. Since they can't beat them, then join...
Anyway, in a few years, the influence of the TV station will not be so great...
...
The results of magnolia…
A little surprised, "Luxing" won the "My Leader My Group". "Luxing" won three awards: Best Screenwriter, Best Actor and Best TV Series, but "Luxing" won no gains and only received some comfort in the voting awards.
By the way, "Wang Gui and Anna" also won a grand award: Best Director!
The Best Actress was awarded to Song Dandan in "Marvin's War"...
Chen Mengxi was really surprised because "The Leader" is really like a rare super long drama that appears on TV!
In theory, the performance style of Lao Duan should be quite popular among the academics...
I don't understand the judges' thoughts...
Another thing, "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms"... is postponed to the launch...
Why?
This year is the 60th anniversary. Although the General Administration has not issued a clear article, everyone in the circle said: Before National Day, I will hold all of them, except for the tribute drama!
Then "Snail House" and "Wenzhou Family" were lucky...
Because both of these are tribute dramas!
And it is different from the tribute dramas outside. These two are life-type tribute dramas!
"Wenzhou Family" and "Chicken Feather Flying to the Sky" one after another. "Wenzhou Family" was completed and is in the late stage. Zhejiang Satellite TV likes it very much and has won the premiere right. This drama, its King Kaikai, Zhang Luyi, Lei Jiayin, and actresses have Zhao Liying and Wan Qian's experience...
"Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is still being filmed, and a group of people have changed their experience...
...
"I think "Ip Man 2" is more appropriate to be released on July 30... because last year's "Ip Man" was released on August 1st, and the time is about the same!"
"The "Onei Spy Lingling Dog" will also be released on July 30..."
"It's not all, "Eavesdropping" on July 24, and "Silver Empire" and "Radical Man"..."
In the company, a group of people are discussing the release date of "Ip Man 2".
You must choose a better schedule, and the summer schedule is the best choice!
But the competitive pressure is a bit too high...
Last year's "Ip Man" would have had a box office of 200 million if it weren't for "Red Cliffs" and the Olympics!
"Ip Man 2" is expected to be more than 250 million yuan...
Fox still took over the overseas copyright, and this time they bought it out for $35 million.
"Mengxi, what do you think?"
Chen Mengxi was watching the schedule of the filming schedule and looked up after hearing this: "…Ip Man is already a signboard. When will it be launched, we will decide for ourselves. We should worry about the other movies that are in a row, not us!"
This is a bit arrogant, but it is also true!
No matter how topics and cinema resources are, they will definitely be tilted towards "Ip Man"...
What's there to worry about?
Why make a sequel?
It's just to ensure the basic plan!
With "Ip Man" as the foundation, how bad can "Ip Man 2" be?
Song Hang nodded: "Okay, let's announce it to the public. Just give Wang Jing some adjustment time on July 30th!"
"Ip Man 2", Chen Mengxi watched it and modified the ending. The referee was quarreled, Ip Man wanted to stop the match, the boxer provoked, Ip Man took action in anger...
You can't fight at all!
In this original paragraph, the last battle between Ip Man and the Western boxer arena: the foreign referee deliberately delayed the bell ringing time so that the boxing champion who had the upper hand could give Ip Man a few more punches;
Ip Man used his leg skills to get back his disadvantages, and the referee immediately changed the rules and prohibited kicking.
There was a clamor in the audience, but Ip Man obediently abides by it and even raised no doubts!
These unfair ring rules originate from the control of the colonists and are a microcosm of the entire colonial system.
This is the paradoxical thing about the entire "Ip Man 2": he is both a national fighter and a good colonist!
So, it's not relieved!
But what does this movie sell well in Hong Kong for nearly HK$60 million?
It shows that it is very consistent with the taste of Hong Kong audiences!
Chen Mengxi changed it, but he didn't have any good ideas - the original version of "Ip Man 2"
Whether in terms of structure, play or scene design, it does have too many things that it has inherited, which is a successful experience...
The ending is a climax with the ring scene, and the freshness is definitely not enough.
In fact, the arena drama is not just a problem with "Ip Man", but the scene designs like action movies have been around for a long time, and it is really difficult to innovate!
How can you change it?
Only fighting in the ring is legal and can also reflect the protagonist's combat effectiveness...
...
On the 21st, the Shanghai Film Festival opened...
Chen Mengxi was too lazy to go, so he would rather blow air conditioning at home than go to Shanghai.
Then, director Wang Xiaoshuai got nervous. On the forum, he suddenly criticized Director Lu, Ning Hao and others: "Is it happy if they go to make commercial films in a hurry? All the beliefs are gone, and people cannot be happy? They must be particularly envious of me, and I can decide my own work. I just told Ning Hao that you are under the pressure now, and the next work has a box office of only 100 million yuan, which is a failure."
There is nothing wrong with criticizing you, but why do you think art films are noble?
What else is saying, "Some people say that art films don't need support, so I will do some good deeds before the art film dies."
I felt like he had a water in his mind and praised himself, "I have been a filmmaker for 18 years, and I have never made commercial films because of my persistence in my dreams and beliefs."
So, if others have good box office, will Chinese movies harm?
"I have talked to Mengxi about what you said," Ning Hao directly retorted: "Some of the people who are directors of art films should not only despise commercial film audiences in aesthetics, but also crush commercial films in terms of film quality, and want to go hand in hand at the box office... Why do you have all the good things?"
Wang Xiaoshuai said again: "But the movie itself also needs protection. Protect literary and artistic movies, art movies. It doesn't matter if one or two movies don't make money. This is actually a great deed. I hope you can tell Mengxi and invest two more literary and artistic movies!"
Chapter completed!
