Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 743

Chapter 743

"Hehe, Thomson, don't worry, I'll introduce you to him later."

When Zhao Hong saw the excited and incoherent little old man, he felt amused in his heart.

But it's more emotional, this old boy is really a pure person!

In this money society, such people are rare.

clap clap clap!

After the movie was finished, many people applauded. They were moved by the movie. The filming was so good that it was a breath of fresh air in Xiangjiang. The emotion of this movie is very touching.

In this film, he even moved the stage to a "castle in the sky" - Laputa, the city in the sky.This is a city in the sky that is powered by the flying stones of the anti-gravity device.

Full of strong social awareness and humanistic care, the film tries to reflect the existing drawbacks of human civilization by questioning the root cause of the loss of civilization, and discusses the philosophical proposition of how civilization can survive and develop.

And all of this is shown through the rise and fall of Laputa, a fictional city in the sky.

People can only imagine its prosperity in the past through the huge flying stones, countless robots, and piles of treasures.

The film obviously does not intend to focus on introducing to the audience the process of the emergence and development of Laputa civilization.

It only uses the final destruction of this once extremely prosperous civilization to strongly shock and impact the hearts of every audience, thereby questioning all living beings in modern society, and finally thinking about the realistic problem of where human civilization should develop.

After watching this movie, all the filmmakers feel that it is Hayao Miyazaki, and think that the style is very similar to his, and it explores many philosophical issues, and it is very profound.

In Asia, Hayao Miyazaki can present these propositions in animated films.

"Raymond, how much do you think this movie can sell?"

"It's too much, I dare not say, two billion dollars in the world should not be a problem."

"Why not [-] million, or [-] million? I think it is much better than "Kung Fu Panda". It has deep thinking on many macro issues."

"Hehe, what is the essence of the big explosion? It is a huge audience. Can children understand this movie? This directly eliminates a part of the audience."

"Furthermore, this movie has a strong oriental flavor. Although cartoons can cross racial differences, can they also cross cultural barriers? Let me say that this movie may have a high box office in Japan, but it is hard to say in Europe and the United States. Of course, it will be higher than the box office of most movies in these places, but if I want to catch up with "Kung Fu Panda", I can't watch enough!"

He Guanchang and Zou Daheng discussed this topic together. In their eyes, the box office is the most important thing. As for art?How much is that worth?

Golden Harvest basically does not invest in art films, and they have never invested in the original film of Time and Space Sunglasses King. In fact, as long as it is not a comedy, they will invest cautiously.

Of course, big productions don't count, and they took a lot of risks when it came to going to Hollywood.

This also shows some problems, that is, Zou Daheng is already a movie businessman through and through, and Xu also had some movie feelings before, but it was also wiped out over a long period of time.

But this is also the fundamental secret of their long-term prosperity.

For example, DreamWorks has invested in more than ten literary films every year since its establishment. If it were not for DreamWorks' strong distribution channels, many of these films would have suffered huge losses.

That's it, many of them will take a year or two to pay back, or make a small profit.

For many film companies, this is intolerable.

After the movie is shot, they just want to realize it quickly, and they still need to make a profit.

The best time for a movie is within half a year. If the cost can be recovered, it will actually be a loss. After all, time, energy, money, etc. have been invested.

Superman watched this movie with mixed emotions. Their company might not be able to produce such a good animated film in ten years. They have also produced animated films in the past two years, and the effect was not very good after it was released.

But it is not less profitable, mainly because the external copyright is too easy to sell.

After Xiangjiang Animation was popularized by DreamWorks Animation, film dealers in many parts of the world took aim at it. They couldn't afford big productions, but they could still approve films for small productions.

In this way, many animation film companies in Xiangjiang, which were not very good at first, survived and developed to a certain extent.

The animation film company established by Superman is one of them. It is currently considered a medium-sized company in Xiangjiang, but it can earn tens of millions every year, which can almost catch up with his own film company.

Coupled with the peripherals, it can bring more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the company every year.

Of course, there will only be more radiation. After all, their family has done a lot of product placement in this area, and the supporting peripheral products have made a lot of money.

In fact, his film company and TV station mainly serve other companies of his own. Although these two do not make much money, his family makes more money from the advertising placement on them.

This is also the reason why Li Cucumber spent huge sums of money on entertainment.

"Young Master Hong, congratulations to your company for releasing another blockbuster!"

"Young Master Hong, it's really amazing. This animated film has at least ten years ahead of Xiangjiang's animated films. This is a classic film that can be recorded in the annals of film history."

"Young Master Hong, it's still up to your company to shoot animated films! Xiangjiang animation films can be divided into two levels, one is the animation films of DreamWorks, and the other is the animation films of other companies."

……

Flattery!

Zhao Hong suddenly felt the enthusiasm of the entertainment industry, everyone is a 'good guy'!

He accepted all these one by one. After the production team came on stage to talk about their feelings, the premiere was considered over.

Zhao Hong also specially invited them to have a meal, and everyone was very excited.

He saw that everyone's dark eye frames were serious, so he knew that they stayed up all night for this movie. Who knows the hard work involved?

For this reason, it was directly approved to give them a big health care, as for the bonus, it is also big.

Amidst their excitement, Zhao Hong bid farewell and left.

Ever since Thomson was introduced by Zhao Hong to Mayumi Tanaka, Keiko Yokozawa, Yanei Hatsui, Terada Nong, etc., he has been talking all day long, and he even pulled this group of people together to make the soundtrack for "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" .

So far, the soundtrack team of this film is unprecedentedly strong, and Zhao Hong is looking forward to more extraordinary music.

Before the filming of Zhao Hong's film started, the film selectors of the three major film festivals in Europe took aim at it. Although he only won the best film award in Cannes, his other films were very popular in Europe. popular.

The main problem is that the Big Three want to increase their influence in Asia, and Zhao Hong is a character that cannot be avoided.

DreamWorks is a behemoth in Europe, Asia and even the whole world, especially in the film industry, there is really no existence that can wrestle with it.

At present, Disney, the most famous in Hollywood, can't do it either. Their distribution channels are not like DreamWorks, which is completely their own.

Among them, the investment of theaters alone is not something they can afford.

If Disney wants to develop, it will have to wait until after the millennium.

At that time, they set off a frenzy of mergers and acquisitions, and finally directly entered the forefront of the world's top [-] companies.

In fact, Zhao Hong's films generally do not participate in film festivals, but are also exhibited in exhibitions, which is also a kind of publicity for the film itself.

At present, Zhao Hong's film has been submitted for the Berlin Film Festival, and it is determined to participate in this film festival in February next year.

What hasn't been said yet is that Lao Mouzi's popularity has skyrocketed during this period of time.

His film "Raise the Red Lantern" won the 48th Venice International Film Festival Jury Award and the International Film Critics Association Award, the 46th British Academy of Film Awards Best Foreign Language Film Award, and the 36th Italian Film David Award It won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and was nominated for a series of foreign awards including the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 64th Academy Awards.

During this period, he took Gong Li around the world, and received high praise every time he returned home.

It can be said that Lao Mouzi is now one of the best directors in China, and his two films have made him famous internationally, let alone in China.

Even in Xiangjiang, his popularity is first-class, mainly due to the reports of DreamWorks media.

Comparing him to Zhao Hong from the mainland made Zhao Hong blush after reading this newspaper, a bit ashamed.

Immediately, there was another burst of ecstasy, as he was already famous in the movies.

Seeing Lao Mouzi doing this, he couldn't sit still. He had some expectations for the Berlin Film Festival next year.

To say that the most uncomfortable is Lao Chen. He is really a little speechless to face Jiangdong's elders now, so he basically stays in Xiangjiang during this period of time. Post-production, this film cannot do without him, so he has no time to go back to the mainland."

Lao Chen has a bit of an ostrich mentality in it now. As for the post-processing of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", that is nonsense.

He is not doing everything now, he often hangs out with the screenwriting team of DreamWorks and asks them to write a script for Mei Lanfang's autobiography for him. For this reason, he also invited Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine" from the original time and space Participate in screenwriting together.

Lu Wei is a very good screenwriter. His resume is quite astonishing. His scripts include "The Last Crazy", "Xingtang Azhi--The Story of Qi Baishi", "The Price of Crazy", "Light Shadow Spring and Autumn", " Nine Summers, Ballads of the Yellow River, Black Scenery, Blood Building (namely, Song of Qin), Peach Blossoms in the Sky, Red Cherries, The Long Road to Xixia, etc.

In the original time and space, "To Live" was also a script he adapted. It is reasonable to say that he is the number one screenwriter in the Mainland.
