Chapter 374: Shady?

"Master Huan"

"Eh, Lao Chen"

Yang Huan heard someone shouting, turned around, and saw that it was Chen Kexin, and immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin smiled bitterly, am I old?

"Young Master Huan, thank you," Chen Kexin raised his glass and said very sincerely.

Yang Huan also raised it and snorted with him, but he didn't drink it, and asked with a smile, "Thank me for what?" ”

"Thank you for investing in my film partner."

Chen Kexin is not tall, and he has to tilt his head slightly when talking to Yang Huan.

Therefore, Yang Huan took in his expression.

"I see him as a work of justification"

Obviously, after the blows of the famous petition, the October siege and martial arts, Chen Kexin finally found the courage to prove himself again.

He needs such a movie to adjust his mentality, so that he can be more engaged in filming the war epic of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and then make the best film with the highest investment in the history of Chinese films.

"Don't thank me, thank you Miss Zhang, she supports you, I believe in her, and I believe in you"

Chen Kexin nodded, he didn't say thank you, he understood

Yang Huan didn't care too much about Chen Kexin's thoughts, this was not something he could control.

He began to draw attention to the people next to Chen Kexin.

In addition to his girlfriend Wu Yunru, there is also a big fat man who is always smiling.

"Wang Jing"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan" Wang Jing's fat face immediately smiled.

"Hello, I really like your movies"

Yang Huan is honest, Wang Jing is also a filmmaker he admires very much.

Who knows, when Yang Huan mentioned this, Wang Jing smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, it's almost impossible to get along."

"Why?"

Wu Yunru laughed on the side, "Known as the most proficient director in Hong Kong to make commercial films, it's messed up"

Wang Jing was obviously an old friend with them, but he just laughed and didn't pay attention to it.

On the contrary, it was Chen Kexin, who immediately explained.

"He made money by making TV series before, but he didn't make money or lose money for many years when he made movies, and this time he made up his mind to play a big game, and even the name of the movie was called Big Shanghai"

Yang Huan saw this movie in his previous life, and it was released at the end of one or two years, but unfortunately he met Taigu and failed miserably at the box office.

This is interesting, Taigu is his own investment, and his own people must support it.

"It's okay, who can guarantee that they will make money from every movie?" Yang Huan can see it.

"In this way, don't go to anyone else for your next movie, I'll vote for it"

Wang Jing was dumbfounded now, "Really? ”

"I didn't say it" Yang Huan was also arrogant, and agreed on the spot.

It feels like investing in a movie is like someone buying a toy for dozens of dollars.

Wang Jing was also happy now, and immediately pulled Yang Huan to two cups.

As soon as he talked about the movie, this guy was really excited, and even a little unbearable.

"Actually, Young Master Huan, your Chinese Expeditionary Force has a good theme, the review is not difficult, and the story is strong, but it is not suitable for Lao Chen, he is not good at making this kind of movie."

When Wang Jing said this, Chen Kexin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't object.

"Lao Chen filmed the name and filmed the October siege, which somewhat caters to the wishes of investors, but he is not good at this kind of commercial film model, what he is good at is feelings, sweet and sweet, commercial films, especially war films, he can't control them."

Wang Jing is Chen Kexin's predecessor, and he is known as the Hong Kong director who is best at making commercial films, he must have a reason for saying this, but Yang Huan also has his own considerations.

"I also know, but this time I am shooting the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the theme I am playing is feelings"

Wang Jing is a smart person in the end, and he can understand it at all.

"You mean, reflect on the war?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "Young Master Huan, your ambition is not small."

"What do you think?" Yang Huan asked.

If you want to talk about the understanding of movies, Yang Huan can't catch up with Wang Jing even if he shoots a horse.

"Young Master Huan, there are some words, I don't know if I can say them?"

Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course I can say it." ”

Wang Jing looked at Chen Kexin again, and the latter nodded.

After several contacts with Young Master Huan, Chen Kexin still knows Yang Huan's personality very well.

For things he doesn't understand, Yang Huan is very humble to accept other people's opinions and suggestions.

"Actually, Thirty-three Days of Broken Love is not as good as the box office presents, and even in my opinion, this movie can be a big hit in Asia, and the box office in North America is okay, the main reason is the appeal of the stars."

Yang Huan listened and couldn't help nodding again and again.

Wang Fatzi's words really hit the nail on the head.

"This movie is still telling the story of our Chinese and the story of the capital, so it has a high box office in China, and in Asia, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the culture is very close, and there is star appeal, so the box office is also high."

"But in Europe and North America and other regions, the box office is much lower, and it can only be supported by Lin Yun'er."

Yang Huan still agrees with this statement, because it is very similar to the market research results conducted by Miracle Entertainment.

It can be seen that this fat man is level.

"If making a movie is to tell a story, then if you want this story to go abroad and be accepted by people all over the world, you must raise the vision of the story from the Chinese and tell the story of all mankind."

"A Hamlet-like story, in China, filmed into a night banquet, this is a dark story that even Chinese can't watch, but in Hollywood, filmed into the Lion King, this is the vast majority of human beings like, positive and sunny stories, this is the gap in the level of storytelling."

Yang Huan couldn't help but nod his head, Wang Fatzi's words really went to his heart.

For a long time, he has been wondering, what is the biggest difference between Chinese movies and American movies?

If you want to talk about the so-called film industry, now is the era of globalization, you can't do it yourself, you can't ask others to do it, we are big China, there is nothing else, just a lot of money

Now that Wang Fatzi said this, Yang Huanda had a sudden realization of his feet

Storytelling vision, this is indeed something you can't buy no matter how much money you have

"It's easy to realize this, but it's hard to do," Wang Jing said with a sigh.

"Why?" Yang Huan was strange.

Yes, since you recognize this, there must be a lot of filmmakers who are aware of it too.

Why is there no one to do it?

"Censorship is like a sword of Damocles, hanging over the head, but that's not the most terrible, what's really scary is that the pressure of censorship is layered up, and in the end, it becomes self-censorship, and investors become the biggest hurdle."

"Investors?" Yang Huan was strange.

"Yes, investors, because making a movie is a commercial act, the purpose of investors is to make money, if the movie is made, because it can't be released because it can't pass the review, then the investor will lose a lot, so before submitting it for review, investors often will self-censor and delete some controversial points that may cause sensitivity, but before it is submitted for review, the whole film has been changed beyond recognition and has become a big bad movie."

Yang Huan understood it all now.

It turns out that some big bad movies come from like this, no wonder many commercial films that seem to be very big are so bad.

After all, how many people who invest in movies understand movies?

It is up to the investors to decide on the deletion, and the results can be imagined

From another point of view, when Yang Huan invested in Deng Huatao's 33-day lovelorn, he also gave him some conditions, such as product placement, placement of Lin Yuner and Uncle Bird, etc.

This is already considered enlightened, if you meet some investors who are very controlling and don't know how to pretend to understand, then it's over?

In the final analysis, censorship exists all over the world, and it is only the non-standard domestic film market that has caused all kinds of problems.

And it would be inappropriate to blame investors for all the problems.

Because investors must make money

"I see"

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, Wang Fatzi's words made him see through a layer of fog.

"Lao Chen, don't worry, what about you, just focus on making a good movie, write a good script, enlarge your vision, let's shoot the story of all mankind, as for the box office pressure, don't take it to heart, censorship, there are not many problems, it's a big deal that I will come forward when the time comes."

"In short, this movie, how you want to shoot it, then shoot it"

Yang Huan's words, not only Chen Kexin was stunned, but Wang Jing was even more stunned.

That's hundreds of millions, although it's RMB, but just toss it around?

Could it be that this Young Master Huan doesn't feel sorry for money at all?

If he knew that Young Master Huan would earn 100 million a day, he would understand why he didn't feel distressed.

Now that it's all said, Chen Kexin has nothing to hide.

"Then I thought, go to the United States and ask an assistant director to help, he is the best at making war themes in Hollywood."

"Okay, you have an idea" Yang Huan nodded without hesitation.

He doesn't even ask about money.

Because Yang Huan has always believed that there is a specialization in the art industry, and what he is not good at, then leave it to someone who is good at it.

"By the way, are you familiar with Xu Ke?"

"Old Monster Xu?" Wang Jing immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin couldn't help but wonder, they are all Hong Kong filmmakers, how can they not be familiar?

"Could it be that you are going to invite Old Monster Xu to shoot ghosts and blow out the lanterns?"

Yang Huan had to sigh, Wang Jing is indeed smart, a little bit clear.

Indeed, he did plan to invite Old Monster Xu to shoot the ghost blowing the lamp.

"The oriental fantasy theme of the ghost blowing lantern is indeed very good, and it is also the most promising route to internationalization, because there is no big value barrier, and at the same time, it can promote traditional Chinese culture, which has quite potential."

Yang Huan also thinks so.

"I think that among the many Chinese directors, Xu Laowei is the one who can discharge that kind of taste"

Wang Jing also agrees with Yang Huan's point of view.

"A ghost, a monster, it's strange if you don't match"

When Yang Huan heard this, he felt that it was quite rhyming, and couldn't help laughing.

"I saw Old Monster Xu over there just now, I'll call him and call him over." Chen Kexin said with a smile.

Wang Jing also nodded and said: "I met Xu Lao Wei before, and I told him about this, and he was also very interested, but he has been preparing for another movie recently, as if he is going to outwit Weihu Mountain." ”

"Really?" Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he was full of surprise.

This is a movie he was looking forward to very much before he crossed over in 2014, but he didn't expect Xu Laowei to start planning now.

"That's okay, if you bring him here, just say, I'll invest him to shoot and outwit Weihu Mountain"

This time Wang Jing was not so shocked, but he was slightly stunned, and then looked at Chen Kexin, both of them tacitly.

Another movie was cast

Rich people are cool, they just vote when they say they say, and they don't blink an eye

Yang Huan took advantage of Chen Kexin's call to Xu Ke and chatted with Wang Jing about the preparations for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Wang Jing also agreed that he would definitely help Chen Kexin provide advice and help in business elements.

Not to mention, this fat man is full of movie scenes, from domestic to foreign, almost every movie is like a treasure.

When it came to filming the Chinese Expeditionary Force, he immediately proposed several very wonderful scenes, which Yang Huan was full of praise.

is really the best director in Hong Kong at making commercial films

Just when the two were chatting passionately, someone passed by them, but they scolded indignantly.

"Damn, it doesn't matter who you vote for in a while, you must not vote for the big bad movie of 33 days of broken love, and you won't vote for it if you die"

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that there is still a shady scene at this movie awards ceremony?
