Chapter 26 "Party Founding Albert" and Poached (4/4)
It is not easy for the Third Master. There is a data. In 1999, when China Film was established, the total box office nationwide was only 810 million. In 2013, this figure was 21.8 billion yuan.
Han Shanping personally witnessed and promoted the most thrilling process of the development of China's film industry. In any case, he should record a record for the "Three Peace Era" of Chinese films.
Of course, some people say that they are tied up with the dog crown - they say that they are just standing on the wheel of the times...
So, ‘In the past two hundred years, the number of pirates around the world has decreased. The reason is the increase in global temperature?’
Not to mention anything else, he advocated and consistently advocated the concepts of New Year holidays, blockbuster eras, and business as kings!
During his tenure, the box office of Chinese films increased from less than 1 billion in 2000 to 10 billion in 2010, and the box office of domestic films has remained at around 55%.
Although all these contributions cannot be counted on him, as the chairman of China Film, he actually has the advantageous film market resources, so he is directly related to the development of domestic films.
His greatest contribution was his failure to obstruct it, and he followed the trend and made great achievements...
Also, Han Shanping really understands film and television dramas. Do you think he got drunk after retirement?
"Undocumented Crime", "The Secret Corner", "The Earth Long", "Wolf Totem", "Golden Age", "Sunday Fireworks"...
Therefore, Shen Mengxi still respects him very much.
However, in terms of one book and two shots, Shen Mengxi doesn't really want China Film to intervene too much...
China Film is very domineering, and "Tangshan Earthquake" accounts for half of the investment!
"Painted Skin 3" accounts for one-third of the investment...
Even "Return to Twenty" accounts for one-third of the investment.
He now wants to invest in the American version of "Return to Twenty", and he says half of the investment...
Shen Mengxi was speechless: "The films are already being filmed, and the investors' accounts have been summarized. How can half of them be given? Mr. Han, in business, it is not easy for us to make a profitable film!"
“…American version, are you so confident?”
"This is not a question of whether there is confidence or not, it is a business rule..."
Dong Han was a little embarrassed and suggested: "...Then you can star in "The Founding of the Party", right?"
"Who can I play?"
"It's no problem to play Premier Zhou with makeup!"
"How could I have the temperament of him?"
Shen Mengxi's eyes lit up first, then shook her head and refused: "Forget it, it's too difficult for me to play a historical celebrity..."
Premier Zhou is the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China and is also Shen Mengxi's idol...
For actors, talking about their idol is the most difficult!
Especially the great man of history, Shen Mengxi has no time to refer to books...
"Then... I'll give you a less important role!"
"OK."
"Then you and Liu Yifei play a couple who have committed suicide by dying!"
"A couple who dies in love?"
"We have checked the information. In that era, the documents could not be saved at all. Some documents held at the meeting during the founding of the Party must be destroyed in time. Without those documents, people cannot remember exactly which day our Party was established. And just the night before, a couple committed suicide in the Dadong Hotel and went to the newspaper. Later, the time of the Party was calculated based on the newspaper."
"I understand!"
The role is quite important, and it is related to inferences about the time when the party was officially established...
"The Great Founding of the Party" was filmed very well. Although the name is the Great Founding of the Party, most of the contents are all major events from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China before the founding of the Party, as well as the thoughts and practices of different people on China's future direction.
Finally, we came to the conclusion: history chose the CCP!
Of course, this movie was negatively reviewed by many people, many of them had never seen it, or had only read the title of the movie, and they felt that it was a 'major film of the main theme'...
It’s really not. If you change your name to "1921", there are a lot of five-star reviews!
...
Kaikai Wang was an actor under Huayi before.
Hua Yi was devoted to Huang Xiaoming at that time, so he naturally couldn't take care of him as a newcomer. He took on "Ugly Girl" and wanted to make some money, but he didn't expect that Mango TV actually finished the first season, the second season, and then the third season, which was only willing to finish last year!
Just like this, Kaikai Wang knocked on the door of his acting career with Chen Jiaming, and was labeled as a result. Then similar people came to him, but this was not the result he wanted.
King Kaikai is very strict with himself. He would rather have no money to make money and film without any show than repeat himself all the time!
The turning point occurred in 2008.
Zhao Liying introduced him to Jiang Nan. When the latter saw that his image was OK, he signed it and introduced many characters to him.
Most of them are small characters. After all, Jiang Nan is not a big-name agent. She can designate her actors to play the male lead, female lead, etc.
Kaikai Wang was quite satisfied.
Have a show, make money...
Later, Jiang Nan retired from the circle and these people were packaged for Tang Ren Film and Television...
I thought I would be idle, just like in Huayi, and then "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms", "The Beautiful Era of the Wife", and then, I simply formed a three-person CP with Tong Yali and Lei Jiayin, starring in three or four life dramas...
"Shock Heart" is an accident.
Hu Ge and Zhang Lu are also the first choice for the male lead. After they refused, the crew even considered inviting Deng Chao or Nie Yuan...
Kaikai Wang took the initiative to find the director, and the producer said he wanted to act.
I thought it would be difficult - he was ready to be unspoken!
After trying a mirror, I actually agreed directly!
Afterwards, "Scarlet Heart" was broadcast and he became a hit...
The three or four life dramas were so popular that they were immediately bought by the TV station at a high price...
The price of his commercial performance rose to 400,000...
The most obvious thing is that after deducting the company's accounts, the salary increased to 3 million per drama...
Then, the agent who had been in Huayi before made an appointment with him and directly suggested that he wanted to dig him to Huayi.
The conditions proposed are very generous - Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao left, Huayi's position as the number one brother is still undecided. If he joins, he has a high probability of becoming the number one brother!
Huayi No. 1!
Of course, Kaikai Wang refused...
The main reason is that he stayed comfortably in Tang Ren and his agency team was professional enough - "Scarlet Heart" was what his agent suggested to him to strive for!
This matter was nothing, until Shen Mengxi found out...
...
What Shen Mengxi looked down upon the most was Huayi's star-making ability.
Except for Li Lianhua who was praised by Huayi, all other actors are passers-by!
Especially Zhou Xun, he was already the best actress in Hong Kong Film Studio and Taiwan Golden Horse.
However, Zhou Xun's performance in movies over the past four years has been lackluster. There are only a few movies such as "Li Mi's Conjecture", "Painted Skin", and "The Sound of the Wind", and there are not many advertisements, which are far inferior to Li Lianhua.
"The Sound of the Wind" is of course a masterpiece, but unfortunately, it was used as an upgrade tool for Lotus!
Do you have the ability to train actors yourself and have so many second- and third-tier artists under your jurisdiction, and are you staring at other people's jobs for Mr. Mao?
After thinking about it, Chen Mengxi simply made an appointment with Ge You...
