Chapter 631: New Movie

Entering August, the war between the three major film companies has entered a white-hot stage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Golden Harvest Company, which is the most in the limelight, launched Hung Jinbao's new film "People Beat People" after the Xu brothers' "Money is Strange" broke the box office of 10 million.

There is no doubt that Hung Jinbao's "People Beat People" is the sequel to "Ghost Fighting", and the plot mode is almost the same, but Hong Jinbao cleverly added jokes, and he went into battle with Yuan Biao, Zhong Fa and others, and the effect of a group of big stars starring together is still good.

Although it is not as good as his previous "Owl and Dumbo" and "Young Master Weiwei", the box office still exceeded 4 million in the first week of release, and after four weeks, it is another masterpiece that broke 10 million box office, plus the foreign market, the total box office of 30 million is not under any pressure at all.

Princess Jin's movie was handed over to Zhang Aijia's "Hit the Positive", which was ranked in the top five box office masterpieces in Xiangjiang in 1980 in the previous life, and it is still strong in this life, although the box office in the first week was only 3 million, but the box office in the next week only fell by 300,000, with 2.7 million, which is really surprising.

The Shaw Brothers showed no weakness.

They took out Du Qifeng's "Blind Man", which took 19 days to film, and confronted the two major opponents.

From Yin Jun taking out the script to Du Qifeng filming and editing, it really only took 19 days for Shaw Brothers to complete.

Although this has nothing to do with the fact that there are not many scene changes in "The Blind Man", which is related to the filming in the narrow place of Xiangjiang, in Yin Jun's opinion, Du Qifeng has some bad habits in the future, and he pursues the filming time too much.

There may also be a hint that Shaw Brothers wants to finish filming and editing sooner so that it can be released early, but the number of 19 days is simply unimaginable for making a movie.

No good director can make a movie well in such a short period of time.

After all, it is impossible for every actor to be at the level of the Oscar, and editing or something is not so simple.

Once you lower your requirements, then you will cut corners and blindly utilitarian in the future.

This is something that Yin Jun can't bear.

For this reason, Yin Jun specially gave Shao Yifu a phone call to denounce this spirit of quick success.

Shao Yifu was stunned when he was scolded, he didn't expect Yin Jun to care about this kind of subsection, not about the box office or something.

In fact, although many young people can't look at a slow-paced movie like "Blind Man", some fans think it's very good, and it collected more than 3 million box office in three days of the release weekend, which is already good.

Even Xu Anhua, who was a guest at Yin Jun's home, praised this movie for being deep but not boring, and it is a rare good movie in recent times.

"You better stop praising others. Yin Jun raised his hand a little funny and said, "You've been doing the late stage for so long, when will it be released?"

It has been two months since the filming of "Autumn Fairy Tale" was completed in early June, and Xu Anhua has been in post-production, and Yin Jun has not paid attention to her.

But in the current Xiangjiang, I am afraid that there are only two or three people who can do it for two months in the later stage.

Yin Jun knows that Xu Anhua's character is different from other filmmakers, she belongs to a well-crafted cultural person, and most filmmakers in Xiangjiang are in two categories.

Only by such a director can the movies he makes can withstand the baptism of time and truly achieve classics.

Looking at it after 40 years, you can say that Xu Anhua's movies are not blockbusters, you can say that her movies are niche, but you will definitely not say that her movies are bad movies.

This alone is enough to make Yin Jun patient.

Asked by Yin Jun, Xu Anhua said embarrassedly: "I found Princess Jin, and they are going to arrange a cinema for me in September, with 18 cinemas, and the screening is expected to be 3 weeks." ”

"Not bad. Yin Jun nodded.

Golden Princess only has 16 movie theaters, and if there are 18, they have to find 2 more outside, and they can give 3 weeks of release time at this scale, which is already more optimistic about "Autumn Fairy Tale".

Xu Anhua would not tell Yin Jun that part of the reason why Lei Juekun gave good conditions was because Zhou Yan sent him to star, and more because she said that Yin Jun wrote the script and Yin Jun invested in this movie, so Lei Laohu was willing to arrange it so well.

"Actually, I came to see you today because I had something to ask. Xu Anhua is not good at words, and after saying a few words, he shifted to the meaning, "I was going to shoot "Bumping into the Positive" before, and you said to me, let me finish filming this "Autumn Fairy Tale" first, and then consider "Bumping into the Positive", now my work on "Autumn Fairy Tale" has been completed, and "Bumping into the Positive" was also filmed by Zhang Aijia, do you think I can make another movie?"

Yin Jun was surprised when he heard this: "Sister Hua, you have just finished your work, why are you in such a hurry, don't you need to take a break?"

"I'm so young, I don't need to rest. Xu Anhua hesitated for a moment and said: "What's more, it's rare to meet someone like Jun Shao, who supports art films, if I don't hurry up and shoot more, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Hearing this, Yin Jun was silent for a while.

At this time, he remembered that Xu Anhua had made movies all his life, and won many actors, actresses, Academy Awards and Golden Horse Award winners, but he was finally sixty or seventy years old, but he still lived with his mother in a 500-square-foot public rental house, without any property of his own, and was content with poverty.

Such a female director who devotes herself to art films and aspires to make good movies is a real artist.

"Handsome ......"

Xu Anhua thought that Yin Jun was a little reluctant, and hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I only need an investment of 2 million in this movie...... I don't want dividends in "Autumn Fairy Tale". ”

"No, no, no. Yin Jun came back to his senses and shook his head, "One yard to one yard." You show me the script, what is the initial budget, how are you going to shoot it, who are you going to shoot it?"

"The script is here. Xu Anhua took out a thick stack of scripts from his bag and handed it to Yin Jun.

On the cover of the script, five big characters are written - "The Story of Hu Yue".

Sure enough, this is it!

Yin Jun nodded, this story written by Zhang Tingjian to reflect the Vietnamese refugees was really the same as the previous life, and it was taken by Xu Anhua.

As the second and most acclaimed part of Xu Anhua's refugee trilogy, "The Story of Hu Yue" is ostensibly about Vietnamese refugees, but in fact it alludes to the inner hesitation of the people of Hong Kong in this unpredictable era.

Zhang Tingjian's early works have deep meaning but are not biased, not as extreme as his later works, and even his ancestors are about to be denied.

Such a story, shot by a delicate and atmospheric female director like Xu Anhua, really complements each other, and it is no wonder that she has won numerous awards in major awards, and the box office is also very good.

In the history of the previous life, "The Story of Hu Yue" should have been written at this time, and then Xu Anhua took it in his hand, slowly began to find funds, filming, and finally succeeded.

Yin Jun flipped through the script, his eyes were on the script, but there was not much focus.

He was thinking about whether to let Xu Anhua shoot this drama.

"The Story of Hu Yue" is a good movie, Yin Jun can't deny this.

However, Zhang Tingjian, who wrote this script, is a very troublesome person.

In his previous life, he went from the beginning of seeking solutions to social contradictions, to the point where he went crazy and blamed Xiangjiang's decline for his return, and the scenes he filmed and the words he said hurt the feelings of the two places so much, and he was suppressed by the mainland for 20 years, and it was not until after 2013 that he softened and began to slowly improve.

Yin Jun hates this kind of person who doesn't find the reason from himself and is angry with others.

Xiangjiang is such a cultural person instigating, so it has a lot of bad influences.

Like Zhang Tingjian, including the group of idiot movie stars behind, Yin Jun can't say that he wants to ban them, but he definitely doesn't pay much attention to them, the same opportunity, he would rather give it to others than give it to them.

This is also why the young man knew that in Qiu Degen's Liyuan, the future Xiangjiang was singing and performing on stage after the first day, but he never thought of digging her.

Back to Zhang Tingjian.

If Yin Jun asked Xu Anhua to shoot "The Story of Hu Yue", the best screenplay at the first Xiangjiang Academy Awards in 1982 would be Zhang Tingjian...... Well, this is the last life, and now the Academy Awards have not come out, and even if they do, they will not be so narrow-minded.

Even if Yin Jun wrote other scripts and won the Best Screenplay at the first Xiangjiang Academy Awards, "The Story of Hu Yue" will definitely not be forgotten by everyone, Zhang Tingjian will definitely gain attention with such an excellent script, so as to win the favor of the film company like in his previous life, so that he can continue to write screenplays and make movies.

After thinking about it, Yin Jun still cut off the idea of sealing "The Story of Hu Yue".

In a country, there can never be only one voice.

In a mature film market, it is impossible to have only one type of film.

A film market with only one type of film is absolutely impossible to last long.

The charm of the movie lies in its colorfulness and the variety of emotions and ideas it shows.

If all the movies are done according to Yin Jun's intentions, then the movie loses its greatest meaning.

Movies are not just entertainment, they also have the responsibility of guiding people to think and explore.

As long as they are not blatantly anti-human, and have a moral and acceptable bottom line for the general public, then they can be allowed to exist.

As for how long it can exist, and whether it can create a category, that's the moviegoer's business.

Thoughts flickered.

Xu Anhua here waited for Yin Jun to finish reading the script before saying: "I am going to let Zhou Runfa play Hu Yue, the heroine Shen Qing or Zhong Chuhong will play, the killer Ah San will use Luo Split, and the reporter Li Lijun will play Miao Qian." They have no problem with their schedules, so it's okay to prepare and start filming in September. …… If the cost is concerned, I will control it at 2.5 million, do you think it is okay?"

At first, she said 2 million, but she saw that Yin Jun did not object to the script, so she had the courage to increase it by 500,000.

As a result, Yin Jun didn't care about money, but the people she chose.

"Sister Hua, can you not let Zhou Runfa match Zhong Chuhong?" Yin Jun said without complaints, "Chu Chu has been making movies and TV series since last year, and he hasn't rested much. Filming your scene, especially very tired. ”

Xu Anhua wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back, "Jun Shao, Xiaohong is a good seedling, if you carve it carefully, you will definitely be able to achieve something...... Ah Fa and her are just good friends, besides, knowing your relationship with Xiaohong, where does he dare to do anything?"

Yin Jun's old face flushed, "I didn't mean that...... Well, your request, I basically agree. But except for the killer Ah San! You change someone, I think Jiang Dawei is good. ”

"Good. ”

Although Xu Anhua doesn't understand why Yin Jun doesn't like Luo Split, Ah San's role is not so irreplaceable, so it's okay to change people, not to mention that Jiang Dawei is much better than Luo Split in terms of acting skills and ability.

Speaking of which, the people she selected are all excellent actors in the current Xiangjiang film industry.

If it is replaced by a commercial film production, then 2.5 million is not enough to pay even the salaries of these people.

But this is a literary film that tests acting skills very much, and it is directed by Xu Anhua, a new wave director who has won many awards for "Crazy Robbery", so whether it is the popular fried chicken Zhou Runfa or the famous first-class actress Miao Qianren, they will reduce their salary to a very low position to play the role.

It's not just them, in later Hollywood movies, many superstars in the $20 million club, when they participate in theatrical film performances, their salaries sometimes exceed 1 million, but people still take their performances seriously to hone their acting skills.

This is also an important reason why Hollywood's movie charm can be so great.

Too many of those famous stars have undergone countless acting skills, and they are definitely not a place where little fresh meat and small tenderness are dominant.

There is no way to have a good movie just by selling face and body.

Xu Anhua's current fame is not too big, so for the sake of insurance, the candidates she chooses are basically her old team, Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong not to mention, Miao Qian is also Xu Anhua's friend.

It will not be until this year's "Autumn Fairy Tale" and next year's "The Story of Hu Yue" are released, and after winning the award, she will really become famous and become a big director who can choose good actors at will without fear of rejection.

In fact, before the King of Sunglasses did not become famous by his father, Xu Anhua has always been the leader of Xiangjiang literary films, even after the King of Sunglasses is more known, Xu Anhua's achievements are not lost to him at all.

With such a big director in his hands, those stars who love literature and art can't escape the palm of Yin Jun's palm!
