Perfect Life

The small European city of Cannes, after the closing of the two-week film festival, quickly turned into a business model - in fact, it has already started during the film festival, but after the film festival closed, this kind of business in the film industry The transaction reached a peak in an instant.

John Days made a good plan, and he talked and laughed with various companies in Europe and the United States.

As the mascots, Jin Han and Zhao Yingying stayed by his side and acted as an important bargaining chip for him in every business negotiation - "Peacock" is also a literary film, but obviously, such a "little story" that reflects the story of a small town, "Small subject matter" is not enough to be called a popular movie.

"Red Sorghum" is also a literary and artistic film, but its time dimension, character dimension and story dimension can be included in the category of popular movies no matter from which aspect.

Therefore, after "Red Sorghum" swept across Berlin, in places like Europe where there is a market for literary and artistic films, the value of It is one of the most popular films at the festival, but its commercial value is still collectively judged to be limited - and therefore, although John Days is very skilled, this film is destined to be impossible to sell "Red Sorghum" "The high price of that level.

Of course, how much this movie can sell actually only determines how much it can make, and it is impossible to lose money - if you go back and count, in addition to the TV series production task received from Minghu Culture, this It should be the first work that Jin Han has made in so many years without losing money.

But he was still somewhat disappointed.

Although the momentum is not as good as the four trophies of "Red Sorghum" in Berlin at the beginning of the year, it can be regarded as a surprise in Cannes. In addition, the film market in Europe has been driven by several consecutive Chinese films in the past two years. A little bit of Chinese fever, but unfortunately, "Peacock" didn't sell at a price that made him feel comfortable.

Moreover, he had seen the overseas sales and buyout data of "Red Sorghum" in the company beforehand, so compared to "Red Sorghum"'s popularity in European countries, the level of negotiation in "Peacock" is higher than that of "Red Sorghum". It was more than a notch worse, and it made him quite disappointed.

For example, the exercise rights of "Red Sorghum" in Germany and Poland were bought out by an e.x. company there, and the buyout price was as high as 5.2 million US dollars, but the same company, one of their vice presidents personally stationed in Cannes, and John · Days discussed back and forth two or three rounds, and finally formed an offer of only 1.4 million US dollars.

Differs greatly.

At 11:00 local time, many film rights deals after the closing of the film festival were still being negotiated. Jin Han and Zhao Yingying followed John Days around, and were then arranged to be interviewed by many European media. When he finally finished his work, seeing the quotations compiled by John Dyce, Jin Han held his breath a little, knocked on Li Qian's door, and wanted to chat with him, but he was still not there.

Early the next morning, John Dyce made an appointment to meet again, but at the same time, Qin Nuo had already brought over the interview schedule arranged for him and Zhao Yingying in the next few days-these interviews, interviews It was all decided by John Days. Although Jin Han didn't have a good impression of this foreigner, he also knew that this guy was an expert in the European and American film circles. , he couldn't come up with any opinions, he could only follow the arrangement of this timetable to deal with one media after another.

During lunch, I met Li Qian, and I didn't have time to say what I thought. I could only make an appointment to find a time to talk carefully after returning to China-because of the flight in the afternoon, Li Qian had to bring the crew with him in advance. Several guys who had no interview assignments returned to China together.

In the end, only Qin Nuo, Jin Han and Zhao Yingying will be left in Cannes for Minghu Culture, who will be led and managed by John Dyce. In addition, Han Meilin can only be regarded as Jin Han's personal assistant, and she has nothing to do with Minghu Culture.

In fact, the country has turned upside down at this time.

A statement has been turned up again at this time, and it has been unanimously recognized by more and more media - this year is an unprecedented year for Chinese films!

In terms of art and awards, first "Red Sorghum" swept the Berlin Film Festival, and approaching "Peacock", Zhao Yingying, a girl almost no one had heard of before, was sealed in Cannes!

In terms of business and market, a series of excellent films such as "Red Sorghum" and "The Big Shot" have exploded at the box office one after another. Even "Smoke in the Desert", which is generally recognized to be of average quality and poor reputation, has more than 260 million yuan. Since entering 2oo3, in the past five months, there have been four domestic films with a box office of more than 200 million - this is a result that may not have been achieved in the past year!

You see, from any point of view, this can be called the prosperity of Chinese film!

Ming Xiaojing's work came back from Cannes empty-handed. Naturally, he avoided the reporters, but the excitement of the reporters was not disturbed at all. When Li Qian flew back from Europe with a part of the "Peacock" team, a few Hundreds of reporters ran to the airport pick-up hall on time to block it.

Of course Li Qian refused to be interviewed and was going to leave the moment of beauty to Jin Han and Zhao Yingying.

However, on the next day, an interview with the "Peacock" crew appeared in the newspaper - it was the photographer of Jin Han's small team, the assistant director and director of photography of "Peacock", Yang Luan.

He is not a contracted staff member of Minghu Culture, and of course he is not bound by Minghu Culture. Fortunately, although he definitely wanted to take the opportunity to brag, it wasn't too much, at least it didn't conflict with the propaganda plan and focus of Minghu Culture.

But even so, when Jin Han and Zhao Yingying returned to China after a series of interviews in Europe, they still had a dark face and a look of suppressed dissatisfaction.

However, of course, when Jin Han and Zhao Yingying returned to China, they could already be called overwhelming reports, but at this time they rose to a new level.

Zhao Yingying turned red all of a sudden.

Compared with her, Jin Han, a director who has not won an individual award or a collective film award, seems to be somewhat less interesting, but after all, he is still popular.

At the moment, his position was a little awkward.

With the success of "Red Sorghum" and "Big Shot", in China, if you want to talk about actresses in the film circle, it is very simple and well-defined-

Fu Hongxue, He Yingyu, and Qin Jingjing belong to the first tier. Among them, Fu Hongxue is in the lead. Although Qin Jingjing received a historic salary of 10 million yuan, its box office ability and commercial value have not yet been fully positioned, so it ranks last among the three. .

This is one of the three first-line female coffees in the country.

Followed by all the gods and heroes of the first-line female coffee.

The popularity of a "big name" has made Bai Yujing's popularity in the film circle rise like a rocket. Basically, it can be regarded as completing the transformation from "the first sister of TV series" to "movie girl".

The commercial explosion and high reputation of "Once Upon a Time" last year made Lu Lingxi, who played the thirteenth aunt, become a first-line vase in the domestic film circle with her human beauty.

Zhu Qianwen, a young actress who finished "Sword Immortal" and "Smoke in the Desert", although she is the illegitimate daughter of the shipbuilding king Shi Zhongjun, has won all the support, but two consecutive movies hit the street, she still looks very weak. Although some people are throwing money behind their backs, and they continue to have no shortage of blockbusters, they are still qualified enough to barely rank in the front line-the key people are constantly brushing their faces, and you can't even know whether the audience knows it or not.

And the veteran actress Ming Xiaojing, who has always lacked commercial performance, said that it is a bit reluctant to say that the front line.

In addition, in 1999, with the film "Yang Yuhuan", Li Linlin, who was awarded the domestic Great Wall Award for the best actress, is between the first-tier and second-tier, and barely counts as the first-tier.

Because she is also recognized as a top-level beauty, just because of this beauty, it is enough to become popular, not to mention that she has also won the actress and was recognized for her acting skills. Of course, the bonus is huge.

Then, there is no one else.

Because in recent years, there have been a few big box office hits or well-received movies, just a few of the female characters on the big screen that audiences have generally seen and can remember.

It's just now that a Cannes actress has let Zhao Yingying, a junior at the Huaxia Academy of Drama, go directly to the front line - of course, the ranking is relatively low.

Look, it's so hierarchical, but when it comes to directors, it's impossible to be so hierarchical.

The one that has both the support of awards and the big box office is of course the first line. Up to now, the two, Qin Wei, and Li Qian—this is recognized.

Then, Du Weiyun is a veteran director, and his works have been well-known for many years, but the latest "Smoke in the Desert" is a bit ugly. And to be honest, he has never won a foreign award at the level of the three major European film festivals. Although his reputation has always been good, he owes it a little.

Zhao Meicheng has been a comedy master for many years. He may not be very high when it comes to being strong, but his urban comedy is popular among the common people, and the box office is not enough in the past two years, but overall, it is absolutely top-notch.

Feng Bicheng's "Big Shot" level is very popular, and the coffee position is naturally rising, and it can already be regarded as a front line.

Liu Chengzhang was well-known in the world through the big sale of "The Swordsman and the Monk", but "Sword Immortal" was between flutter and no flutter, which made his upward momentum suddenly stop. At present, his fame is big enough and his popularity is high enough, but it is said that his next movie will continue to invest a lot. No one can say what will happen to the box office.

Wu Han's "Across the World" was a big sell. After the big sale of "The Gate of Life and Death" brought Fu Hongxue to a peak, through this movie, it proved Fu Hongxue's strong ability as an actress to play a role in the box office, and basically It was like sending Fu Hongxue directly to the front line. But as a film director himself, he only has a blockbuster work like "Across the Four Seas", and it is not stable to say the first line.

Then, for example, Mu Yuanqing, who filmed "Pick the Girl and Low Hand", was once hailed as another urban comedy master after Zhao Meicheng in China, as well as people like Lu Ping, Zhang Zifang, etc., the word of mouth and box office are certain. Above the level, but not enough to be called a first-line leader.

And now, Jin Han led "Peacock" to win the award at Cannes. This is a breakthrough achievement. After being a Cannes actress, the Chinese people after the popular science and baptism at the Berlin Film Festival are very happy, even if China is The actress of the film has completed the stamp collection of the three major European film festivals, but Jin Han, as the director, has not received any honors - neither for the film nor for the director.

So, it seems a little less convincing.

The first-line is definitely not his share, even if he is in the first-line, he is very reluctant, but the second-line can be stable.

At least I went to Cannes to walk around and come back. In the niche literary and artistic film circle, it is not low.

Of course, according to the actual situation of the movie, Minghu Culture has decided to promote "Peacock" with the heroine Zhao Yingying as the main propaganda strategy. Therefore, in order to sell the exercise rights in Europe, it is fortunate that Jin Han was also pushed to the front line. In recent days, she has frequently appeared on various media in Europe, but when she returned to China, Zhao Yingying was completely praised by the propaganda department of Minghu Culture. As a director, the propaganda resources obtained by Jin Han were relatively inferior. few.

So, after several interviews, he didn't know what Jin Han was thinking. He took the initiative to go to the company and found Qi Jie, who was in charge of the shift. Take the time to show.

Qi Jie can feel that Jin Han seems to be deliberately trying to prove something, but it is obviously impossible for her to completely overturn all the promotion and execution plans that the company had made earlier because of a request from Jin Han. ——Besides, to suddenly bring a movie that was originally scheduled to be released in September to June, it is not something that Minghu Culture can mention in one sentence.

Publicity, copy, production, cinema, etc., etc., many problems.

And you must know that June is the summer season!

No way, Qi Jie had to call. The next day, in the small conference room, Li Qian, Qi Jie, Jin Han, Zou Wenhuai, Xu Bing and a few others held a special meeting.

Kim Han insisted.

No way to persuade.

Although with the continuous sales of "Red Sorghum" and "Big Shot", and the follow-up "Once Upon a Time in July", "Once Upon a Time in Man", Minghu Culture is now facing the big courtyards. When it comes to online, the attitude can be very strong, but suddenly requesting a movie to be released in June is still a matter that requires a lot of communication work, and it is impossible to sacrifice some commercial interests, such as the reduction of the proportion of accounts. Kind of - this is a very normal business negotiation, if you want to get it, you must pay a certain amount of interest.

But in the end, Li Qian, who hardly said anything from beginning to end, agreed to Jin Han's request.

After intense communication, in the end, five days after Jin Han and Zhao Yingying returned to China, Minghu Culture released news that the film "Peacock", which was sealed by the Chinese Ministry of Cannes, will be officially released nationwide on June 24.

very hasty.

So I can't get enough screenings to support it, after all, it's summer.

Moreover, following the popularity of "Big Name", in June, on June 16, another domestic urban comedy "Pink Legion" that is more anticipated by the audience will be released - the director is in 2oo1 with "Pink Legion" Mu Yuanqing, who became famous at the box office of over 100 million in "Pick Up Girls and Low Hands".

And then, on July 1, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" will be released.

This schedule is really tense and not good.

Then, "Pink Legion" unexpectedly exploded - 73.44 million!

The success of two consecutive films certainly made Mu Yuanqing smile with joy, and even gave him the confidence to enter the first-line director, but for "Peacock", which is about to be released, the pressure is extreme.

Then, with the collision of two Chinese films, "Pink Legion" directly won 58.37 million in the next week, making Mu Yuanqing's entry into the first-line director almost a foregone conclusion, and "Peacock", which has been very popular in the past month, has been very popular. Zhang's iconic poster made with Zhao Yingying's movie makeup photos was released nationwide, but Zhou only received 43.58 million weekly box office.

Not a failed week, but Jin-han's disappointment is palpable.

Coming to the second week of "Peacock", "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was released.

Because the release of the first film helped "The Lord of the Rings" gain the first batch of fans in China, coupled with the special effects and magical style of this film, it did a very good job, so this time the second film 's release, and received a box office of up to 88.31 million in the first week.

The importer, Oriental Media Group, let out a sullen breath.

However, it was accompanied by a sharp plunge in the box office of "Pink Legion" and "Peacock".

This week, "Pink Legion" has only 3.18 million weekly box office, ranking second in the weekly box office rankings. At the same time, the total box office has exceeded 160 million, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will break 200 million in the future.

However, the box office of "Peacock" in the second week was only 2.13 million - compared with the first week, the box office dropped by 50%!

Even in the second week of its release, the film was not even able to sit at the third place in the weekly box office chart, but was directly pushed to the fourth place.

And when the second week's box office was released, "Peacock" can already announce that it can make a profit with only the domestic box office, but compared with the previous great commercial success of "Red Sorghum" and "Big Shot", this movie It has become an extravagant expectation for a movie to exceed 100 million yuan, which still disappoints the media, and at the same time makes other domestic film companies a little relieved.

Then, Jin Han called Li Qian and wanted to have a good talk with him.

For his film and television director, Li Qian has always given more face, so on the next day, Jin Han came to Li Qian's office.

After sitting down, the first sentence he said was: "It's not interesting, I've had enough, I'm tired, and I feel like I can't play anymore. Give me a good book, I want to make a commercial film. already."

Li Qian said: "Commercial films... they won't be as random as you did in the previous two films."

Jin Han nodded, "I know, I follow the company's rules completely."

Li Qian nodded and said again: "If you want to make a commercial film, your previous team may not be suitable."

Jin Han said directly: "I understand, I told them, I will not play in the future, I will make movies steadily, earn money steadily, if you want to follow me, go to Minghu, if you don't want to go, just go Each went his own way. Then, a few went, but most of them were willing to follow me into our company!"

Li Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words: Even if Jin Han was going to fully integrate into Minghu culture.

This is a good thing.

Jin Han's willfulness is self-willed, and his willfulness is basically in artistic creation. In terms of life, he may have been a little lazy in the past, and he has always been somewhat repulsive to commercial films, so although he is a film and television director, he is not Too willing to go to ask too many company business. But as a man, that's absolutely fine.

Moreover, his directing ability and artistic ability are also very strong.

Now, he is willing to fully integrate with his team, which is definitely a good thing for Minghu Culture.

So, Li Qian thought about it and smiled: "You may not win awards when you make a commercial movie. The key is that I will give you a good story, and you have to make me a good film!"

Jin Han raised his chest and raised his head, "Don't worry! I'll definitely be able to shoot so badly!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "Good story, I have it!"

Jin Han's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "The "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai" series, I think it's pretty good, or should I choose one and start writing the script?"

Li Qian shook his head, just as Jin Han was slightly stunned, he saw Li Qian bent down, as if he had entered a few passwords, and then there was a clicking sound of metal turning.

Jin Han's heart lit up - the legendary invincible treasure chest in Li Qian's office!

After a while ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Qian straightened up, put a thin script on the table, and pushed it forward.

Jin Han reached out and fished it out, opened the first page, and saw four words written on it—

"Dragon Inn".

Jin Han's eyes suddenly lit up.

Must be a martial artist!

Right on the appetite!

The following cast list made his eyes light up as soon as he saw it——

Zhou Huaian: Zhou Zhiyu.

Gold inlaid jade: He Yingyu.

Qiu Moyan: Cheng Su bottle.

"That's it!"

Jin Han secretly applauded in his heart.

Just by looking at the names of the three leading actors who have been clearly marked, Jin Han will know the status of this script in Li Qian's heart - He Yingyu is here. It's the beginning, plus the gimmick of Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, who are known as "the best couple on the screen", returning to the same movie, 200 million is barely reliable, but it's not secure! But with the addition of Cheng Suping, who has been reclusive in the past two years but has been extremely popular among the audience, 200 million, it is safe!

You must know that Cheng Suping is Li Qian's senior sister. The relationship between the two is unclear. Almost the entire Minghu culture knows that Cheng Suping's position in Li Qian's heart is extremely special!

Just imagine, Li Qian will give Cheng Suping the second female lead in this drama. Is this drama too bad?

And as long as it's a story that Li Qian thinks is an excellent one - based on his eyesight and level over the past few years, it's basically certain that this story is absolutely right!

So, without having to look at the outline of the story, Jin Han stretched out his hand to play the script on his hand, and said excitedly, "This is it! This drama belongs to me!"
