showbiz male god

There is no clue about the affairs of the General Administration of Film and Television. On the other hand, the post-production of "In the Name of Love" has been completed.

The time has already entered October. For this kind of niche film with low cost, low investment, director and no celebrity, the most difficult thing besides shooting is probably the issue of negotiating and arranging the schedule with the distribution side.

Aiming at the genre of his own movie—neither a comedy New Year’s film nor a pure romantic drama, after Chen Mo discussed with the studio staff, everyone was more inclined to put the schedule on the Double Eleven Singles’ Day schedule.

The advantage of this schedule is that the competitiveness of the film is not so strong-after all, all the films that spend huge sums of money to hire superstars tend to be in the two schedules of Christmas and Lunar New Year.

The type of movie "In the Name of Love" is not suitable for these two schedules, but the male protagonists of the film are Chen Mo and Chen Yuxiu, two male god-level box office harvesters, and "In the Name of Love" recently For a period of time, the ups and downs were very lively, so the domestic distribution side is willing to put the box office of the singles festival on "In the Name of Love" because of the national popularity of the film.This resulted in "In the Name of Love" having a screening rate of more than 40.00% in the first two weeks. As for how to adjust the screening rate after two weeks, it depends on the movie's box office and attendance rate.

In any case, over the past two weeks, there were more than [-] screenings per day across the country, which at least ensured that "In the Name of Love" would definitely be able to recover its cost and even make a fortune before it was released.However, how well the word-of-mouth and box office of the film can develop depends on whether the quality of the film can pass the test.

This is basically the case with domestic distribution.In foreign countries, because of the conflict between Chen Mo and Hollywood about racial discrimination, and Chen Mo's studio accusing "Hopeless Love" of plagiarizing "In the Name of Love", the nomination of "Hopeless Love" was rejected by the Golden Horse Awards The banning of the Cannes Film Festival has caused the global media and some movie fans to pay more attention to the follow-up development, and correspondingly they are more curious about what kind of story "In the Name of Love" is.

And Yang Qindong's move to send the film to the four major film festivals for review immediately after the late post-production of "In the Name of Love" has once again attracted the attention of the media.This has also led foreign distributors to be very optimistic about the promotional capabilities of "In the Name of Love". Therefore, apart from Hollywood, the global distribution plan is also proceeding relatively smoothly.

"So what should Hollywood do? The distributor over there said that the Hollywood Screen Actors Union and some people have put pressure on them, so the local distribution doesn't want to offend too many people for a movie. But our Since the movie wants to be released on a global scale, if Hollywood or even the North American market is missing, wouldn’t it be a joke?”

After all, Hollywood is also a sacred place in the minds of filmmakers around the world. Since "In the Name of Love" is going to be distributed globally, this part is indispensable, otherwise the global media will have something to say.

Chen Mo smiled indifferently and said, "Since it is a market economy, of course it is controlled by capital. Let's talk to those issuers, they will never just watch the money fly away without reaching out."

Yang Qindong frowned and said, "What if the other party insists?"

Chen Mo said with a smile: "Then let them give a reasonable explanation. It is impossible for us to accept Hollywood's exclusionary behavior without any excuse. If they insist, they will continue to fry me on the topic of racial discrimination or even industry monopoly. You must know that I Now it’s not just about me.”

As Chen Mo said, he waved his employee card as an intern in the Propaganda Department very proudly, and said with a smile: "Hollywood has the support of some members of the Screen Actors Guild, and we also have the Propaganda Department and the State Administration of Film and Television as the backing. Can they do it?" We can fight back against the unreasonable exclusion of Chinese films from being released in Hollywood. Maybe they will feel that they put too many films in the Chinese market every year. Then we can also propose as filmmakers that Huaxia Control introduces Hollywood movies every year at the same time encourage Chinese people to make their own films.”

Doesn't he just think that Hollywood is the world's largest film and television base? China is also the world's largest consumer market. He doesn't believe it. Those who spend money are afraid of making money!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Mo's mind, and he murmured, "I seem to know what to do in the next meeting."

#论How put money into their own pocket# Is this topic swollen?

Chen Mo, who was consciously inspired by the tide, was elated, but Yang Qindong was taken aback by Chen Mo's unruly remarks, and quickly said: "Will people think that we are avenging private revenge by doing this? I think we need to think carefully about it." , you just joined the Propaganda Department as an intern, and the State Administration of Film and Television is just an empty shelf—"

"It's because this department is still empty-handed so far, so I have to find a way to kick the first kick. Those M countrymen had better not think too much money. If they really want to make trouble, I will use them as chickens to scare monkeys. !"

Yang Qindong looked at Chen Mo disapprovingly: "I always feel that your idea is unreliable——"

"Don't worry, we're just dealing with people in the same way." Chen Mo interrupted Yang Qindong's words with a wave of his hand, "If they can treat Chinese movies rationally, we will also follow the development of market laws. Both of us are big countries. The convenience is that if they want to be unreasonable, we are not afraid to retaliate in a more brutal way. Our China is a country of etiquette, and we will never bully the weak. But we will not be bullied by others. This It's a painless way of diarrhoea, if they don't want to tear their faces, it's better not to try it."

As Chen Mo said, he checked the time on his phone - it was already five past twelve.

"I have to go back to the Propaganda Department for a meeting in the afternoon. What do you want for lunch, can I treat you?" Chen Mo stood up from his desk and asked while packing his things.

"Whatever, I don't think I'm in the mood to eat until this matter is resolved." Yang Qindong shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Then go eat roasted lamb leg? I know that there is a newly opened barbecue restaurant that tastes very authentic. Besides, autumn is here, and you should eat more lamb to nourish yourself." Chen Mo smiled and patted Yang Qindong on the shoulder, "Don't Such a frowning face. You must know that things are always endless, but the body is your own. Now you are your own boss and not working for others, why bother working so hard?"

"Your way of thinking is really difficult to communicate. Do you think that the advantage of being a boss is that you can fish in an open and aboveboard?" Yang Qindong complained while putting on his suit jacket: "You are not afraid of making the company dirty. "

"This is why we hired so many elite employees." Chen Mo walked out of the office with his arms around Yang Qindong's shoulders, "If we recruit so many industry elites and still make ourselves feel like a dog, then it's time Where is the meaning of the boss?"

"So what do you think the meaning of being a boss should be?" Yang Qindong asked very funny.

"Of course, you can leave if you say it. Otherwise, you won't be the boss but the executive president." When Chen Mo said this, he looked at Yang Qindong like a cat biting his tongue, and said: "By the way, forgot Brother Dong, you are the executive president of our studio, no wonder you are so tired every day."

Yang Qindong: "..."

After a meal of roast leg of lamb, Chen Mo happily returned to the Propaganda Department with a radiant face.At that time, Deputy Department Zhang Yuansu had already brought the only two members of the State Administration of Film and Television to arrange various preparatory work for the afternoon meeting.Seeing Chen Mo who smelled like mutton, Zhang Yuansu frowned and suggested, "I think you'd better take a shower and change your clothes, to be honest, your appearance is already very appetizing, so you don't need color, fragrance It's all there."

"The way you speak really makes people want to eat another piece of lamb leg." Chen Mopi looked at Zhang Yuansu hehehe, and asked: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask you... I know a man named Zhang Yuanning people?"

"That's my cousin from the same family." Zhang Yuansu bowed his head in a particularly stylish manner, and slightly gestured: "Let me remind you, Your Excellency still has half an hour to solve the smell of braised lamb chops on your body."

"I ate roasted leg of lamb!" Chen Mo gave Zhang Yuansu a stupid look, then turned to get rid of the smell of roasted leg of lamb on his body.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first external conference after the establishment of the State Administration of Film and Television was officially held.

The people are still the same people, and the situation is still the same, except that the host has changed from Bai Xiaoguang from the National TV Station to Chen Mo, the airborne director of the State Administration of Film and Television.

Fortunately, Chen Mo fully adapted to his identity. In front of everyone at the conference, he said with a smile: "I think we should also integrate the actors' union, screenwriters' union and film union in China. We should improve the level of screenwriters in the entire industry. status and salary. Since we are all insiders, I won’t speak falsely. The script is a very important link to what a work can achieve. If a house is used as a metaphor for the entire industrial chain, I think it is not an exaggeration to say that the script is the foundation. Since it is the foundation, we should give the foundation a more solid treatment, so that they can concentrate on making good works in peace. As Master Lan said, in the past, scholars still paid attention to studying for ten years The cold window is bitter, and it takes ten years to hone a sword, let alone doing scripts now."

A Beijing opera master who was named by Chen Mo unhurriedly twitched his lips, and echoed Chen Mo's suggestion.

Afterwards, Chen Mo mentioned encouraging the selection of new directors, encouraging old directors to devote themselves to work, to further explore the audience value orientation of commercial works and artistic works rich in Chinese history and culture, and to further create values ​​with Chinese characteristics in terms of creative concepts... In short The other is the proposal to build China Hollywood to influence the whole world.It is nothing more than wanting to unite the people here, and the rich will contribute money and powerful efforts, and strive to create an industrial chain that is closely related.

In fact, if these topics are brought up individually, any one of them will be commonplace, but in the past, there was no individual or department with weight and cohesion that could do such a thing.

Now, Chen Mo, who can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, has been stuffed into this temporary small studio-like Film and Television Administration by the head of the Propaganda Department in the name of the Propaganda Department.

No one knew what kind of role this newly established department would play. However, due to the domestic influence of the Propaganda Department and Hollywood's racial discrimination, everyone was willing to sell Chen Mo's face.

Speaking of this, Chen Mo also mentioned: "We don't know how to change the status quo of the entire industry for the time being. But we can work hard to change our attitude towards doing things. Decades ago, the National TV Station produced a show every two years in the name of Taiwan Celebration. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "The Great Ming Dynasty", which are still popular today... These TV series were all produced during the Taiqing period for decades. At that time, in order to better shoot works, The actors of the entire crew can enter the crew three years in advance, just to figure out the roles. All the costumes, props and even the lines and plots are made with strict reference to the historical background at that time and the relevant collections of the museum. So why can’t we continue to use Taiqing now? System? How about producing a high-level and well-received work every year or every two years?"

"If more and more works can guarantee such high-quality products, the audience is not without aesthetics. They will naturally know what is worth pursuing."

Everyone in the meeting looked at each other in blank dismay.After pondering for a moment, Zhang Mingzhi, who is currently the temporary head of the National TV, said with a smile: "Minister Chen's original intention is of course good. It's a pity that good books are hard to find. In order to produce those Taiwanese celebration dramas, the National TV not only had to make great efforts to select Training actors, and even all the props and sets need a little bit of preparation—isn’t that how the Huajing Film and Television City and Hengdian Film and Television City come from today. If Minister Chen really intends to reintroduce the Taiwan celebration system, there is nothing urgent to do Just use a good book. If you procrastinate and wait another two or three years to get ready to start filming, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to the State Administration of Film and Television’s desire to strike while the iron is hot?”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Zhang Zhiming.

Chen Mo also saw that Zhang Mingzhi hesitated to speak.He also wanted to know what good idea Zhang Mingzhi had to break through the embarrassing situation of the pre-preparation after ten years of hard work, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "I don't know what Master Zhang has to say, but it doesn't matter."

Zhang Mingzhi smiled slightly, and laid the groundwork without haste: "In recent years, in China, it is absolutely qualified to become a classic, and at the beginning of the script creation, it has already been pointed out by the big names in the literary and art circles. It is absolutely foolproof, and there is a great historical drama that is well prepared in terms of casting and location selection. I just don’t know if Minister Chen is willing to share a piece of the action?”

Chen Mo's heart moved, and he immediately thought of what Zhang Mingzhi was talking about. "What does Director Zhang mean?"

After the foreshadowing was done, Zhang Mingzhi said in front of everyone, "That's right, what I'm talking about was written by Minister Chen himself, and it took three years of preparation, and the filming will start in June next year." "Food Color"."

As soon as this remark came out, all the participants were moved, and immediately looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes.

That's "Food Color"!During the serialization period, the hit rate of the Internet has been occupying the first place, which has aroused extensive discussions and pursuits from all walks of life. It was translated into various languages ​​​​by netizens and spread to various countries around the world. Even actors in the entertainment circle were abandoned in the casting, and celebrities at that time were chosen instead. The descendants of the family will play their respective ancestors, and the entire Academy of Arts will act as the guide behind it. The major domestic families jointly funded and contributed to the filming of the well-deserved historical drama "Food Color", which even the royal family was sensational!

If you can really get a piece of this ambitious masterpiece, will you still worry about your company's reputation and influence in the next few years?Not to mention being able to get in touch with the elite descendants of various aristocratic families and the real masters and Confucians of the Chinese literary and art circles during the filming...

Thinking of this, everyone in the meeting sat up straight excitedly, staring at Chen Mo's eyes and mouth with all eyes shining.I can't wait to say "OK!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Mo shook his head dumbfounded, pointed in Zhang Mingzhi's direction and said, "Okay, Director Zhang, have you dug a hole and waited for me?"

Zhang Mingzhi chuckled, and said very proudly: "It's not that I dig a hole, but the current situation in the industry is like this. It's not so easy to find a good work that has a good reputation, attracts the attention of the public, and can attract thousands of people's attention." Things. My old Zhang is thinking about it, and only the "Food and Color" that you, Minister Chen, have this potential."

After saying a word, everyone present echoed Zhang Mingzhi's words one after another, eager to praise Chen Mo's "Food and Sex" to the sky.It seemed that without Chen Mo's "Food Color", the Chinese entertainment industry would soon be reduced to third-rate, and there would be no more good works to be found.

Chen Mo waved his hands helplessly, and had no choice but to say, "The main actors of "Food Color" have already been decided, and the director is myself. Even if you want to join in, what can you do?"

"Hey, that's outrageous, isn't it?" Before Chen Mo's voice fell to the ground, Zhang Mingzhi had already interjected: "The main actors of "Food and Color" have been confirmed, but not all the actors have been confirmed. The major families The number of descendants is limited, even if they contract the main actors and main servants, there will always be some fish that slip through the net, right? Although the director is Minister Chen, it is impossible for such a big drama to have only one director, let alone the lighting and camera These people... What do you think of Director Cen Kaixuan? When Director Cen entered our station 30 years ago, he was a cameraman. Ten years ago, he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Qin Huai Feng Yue", With his qualifications and ability, he is still qualified to be an assistant director and cameraman for Minister Chen, right?"

Chen Mo was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said, "How can this work? I am a late student, so I dare not let Director Cen be my deputy."

"Hey, what Minister Chen said is outrageous." Gu Huaiyin, the CEO of China Entertainment, who had been silent by the side, spoke for the first time. "Didn't you say it yourself? We must unite all forces that can be united to clean up China's entertainment environment and create a better China's entertainment industry. Since this is the case, everyone should have money and strength to contribute. Why stick to status Status? If you think about it from the perspective of Huaxia, I think there is nothing wrong with Director Cen being the assistant director and cameraman of the crew. Director Wang and Director Zhang of our company... have all worked with you. Do you think that with their abilities, they can also serve as an assistant director and help you?"

Mr. Gu's words opened up everyone's chatterbox, and everyone present immediately came up with all kinds of excuses to stuff people from their own company into the crew, and the fortresses were all directors with the same status as Cen Kaixuan and Wang Prince Sheng. Almost the same people.If you feel that you can rely on the style, you can act as an assistant director, and if you can't, you can also have a camera. Anyway, the plot of "Food and Color" contains thousands of things, including the imperial glory of the Ming Dynasty capital, and the wolf smoke in the desert frontier The flames of war, even the boundless wind and moon of the Qinhuai River, the slang and ditty tunes of the market and the people's livelihood, and the myriad scenes of all nations coming to court... Famous Chinese directors each have their own special styles, which happen to be what is needed at a certain stage of "Food and Color" .Even if there are really one or two people who are out of place, the next best thing is to act as a producer consultant or something.

Even Peking Opera master Lan Zhuxin couldn't help laughing and said: "Because there are still a few scenes of our Lanpai ancestors in the script, my ineffective children and grandchildren have all applied for actors. If they can't sing That's right, when it's time for dubbing, some of our old bones can also help with the post-production. We're not too old to sing..."

Chen Mo: "..."

A discussion meeting eventually turned into a meat-sharing meeting abruptly.When Chen Mo finished the meeting in a daze and reported to his immediate boss, Minister Li, with a stack of meeting materials.Even Minister Li couldn't help smiling.

"Are you treating yourself as a test field?" Minister Li asked Chen Mo leisurely when he said this, "I heard that you wanted to use the name of the Propaganda Department and the State Administration of Film and Television to talk to Hollywood distributors this morning. It's in the ring. Aren't you afraid that if you act too recklessly, you won't be able to deal with the consequences if things go wrong?"

"I can't solve it, but you are there!" Chen Mo said with a hippie smile: "I have such a big backer from the motherland behind me, so what am I afraid of? Besides, I mean, if I protest verbally, it's not true. Then if they really rely on their own strength to unreasonably reject China's excellent films from being released in Hollywood or even the North American market, then we can't let them do anything wrong."

When Chen Mo said this, he winked at Minister Li and said with a smile: "Also, the leader is naturally clear about my personality. Since the leader let me be the person in charge of the General Administration of Film and Television, he must have thought of me." How can this personality be tossed about. It's good if I can do it, but it's okay if I don't do well... We're not interns."

Chen Mo played a well-known trick at the end, and Minister Li shook his head and smiled wryly.Facing such a smart and insightful subordinate, I really don't know what to say.
