""The Fugitive" was the "first shot" of an imported blockbuster. Although the film caused a storm, it was screened in 6 cities across the country and won a box office of 25.8 million yuan. This result is really staggering.
And even more sensational than "The Fugitive" was "True Lies" starring Schwarzenegger in 1995...
This film has all the commercial elements, including fighting, pornography, and big scenes. At that time, even the leaders of the film management department were stunned.
My senior, Liu Hongpeng, worked at the Capital Cinema back then. He clearly remembered that the movie was so popular that it cost 30 yuan a ticket, and was fired up to more than 80 yuan by scalpers.
..."
Han Shanye is talking about history.
Talking about the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on the Chinese market in the past few years is endless, and it feels like giving a report in the conference room of China Film Group.
Sun Hao is drinking.
On the left is Guan Zhilin, and on the right is Lin Zhiling. The feeling of "hugging left and right" made him very uncomfortable. He was afraid of embarrassment, so he could only drink one cup at a time.
Yi Long's color is so weak.
Sitting across from him, he kept winking at Sun Hao, brother, everyone is a man, so don't be reserved, you must know that Lao Yang spent money on this dinner.
However, the gold master Yang Shoucheng is more disciplined.
When Sun Hao drank, he immediately picked up the bottle to refill, drink again, and refill again, anyway, he must not let the glass be empty.
Fuck, thank goodness it's beer!
If it's high-grade liquor, buddy can't explain that it's in this place today.
He drank too much beer and wanted to drain the water, but before Sun Hao got up, Han Shanye, who finished his 'speech', asked him:
"Sun Hao, what do you think?"
How do I think..., how do I know what I think? ! I didn't listen carefully to what you said just now.
Fortunately, Sun Hao is smart, so he didn't listen carefully to this paragraph, but he understood the paragraph just now.
Sun Hao, hurry up and help domestic films, right?
"Mr. Han, just tell me what I should do?" Sun Hao said this simply.
"Um…"
Looking at Sun Hao's loyal and courageous appearance, Han Shanye nodded, feeling relieved. Lao Tzu's on-site report of more than half an hour was not in vain.
"One, in your opinion, should our country's film market be opened?"
"Mr. Han, I think it should be opened up, because the film industry in our country will make great progress by introducing competition, but opening up must be done step by step.
For example, can we increase the annual limit for introducing Hollywood blockbusters from the current ten to twenty? "
"Well..., you have the same point of view as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang. Our film industry can neither close the country, nor advance rashly."
When Han Shanye said this, he paused suddenly, and then asked: "Sun Hao, the second point is that China Film Group has recently launched a youth director support plan in line with national policies, and plans to invest 30 million yuan a year to focus on supporting 5 to 8 young directors. Shooting a movie, I wonder if you are interested in participating?"
"This..., can I not be interested?" Sun Hao asked tentatively.
Han Shanye shook his head.
"Then what else?
I am interested, and I am very interested in making progress with new colleagues in the circle. "
Regarding Guan Zhilin's beauty, Huang Zhan, one of the four great talents in Xiangjiang, once had such a description: glamorous and charming. There was a feeling of arrogance on her face, as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Although it was a bit distasteful, she had to succumb to her beauty and could not refute it.
Because of this, when Sun Hao heard her chuckle, he turned his head and was taken aback.
Not to mention, Huang Zhan is really penetrating when it comes to people.
"Cough cough cough..."
Han Shanye coughed loudly, which woke Sun Hao up.
"Uh... sorry, Mr. Han!
I thought about it seriously just now. Although I am willing to participate in the Young Director Support Program and even contribute part of the money to contribute to my own efforts, I need to personally participate in the film projects for the Young Director Support Fund. "
"Of course, your money must be spent in the open?!" Han Shanye raised his wine glass and touched Sun Hao, and the matter was considered finalized.
"Third..." He raised his head, finished the wine, lit the bottom of the glass to Sun Hao, and Han Shanye continued to chat.
"Hollywood's quota for importing blockbuster films has increased, and our domestic films are under heavy pressure. Therefore, the higher-ups not only hope that we can fight hard, but also fight bravely.
Hollywood movies sell well in the Chinese market, so the movies we shoot must sell well in the North American market. According to the words of the leaders above, there is only excitement when there is coming and going..."
"etc…"
Before Han Shanye finished speaking, Sun Hao felt something was wrong.
"President Han, what do you mean?"
"It's not what I mean, but what the above means is that in the future, the films you shoot will be included in the national team. China Film Group will take the lead to delineate tasks, point out the direction, and implant socialist values in domestic films so that Americans can watch them. Movies while imperceptibly…”
What Han Shanye said was getting more and more guilty, and in the end, his voice was almost inaudible.
For a while, the room was silent.
Even Yan Long, who was smiling and winking at Sun Hao just now, frowned. One of Sun Hao's movies is said to be another, and the reason why they can be sold in the United States and even in the world is all because of the purity and novelty of the movie , so that the adrenal glands of the movie fans soared immediately after watching it.
But if you add preaching content, or a point of view that seems to be 'correct' in a certain way, then... the situation is not good.
Because straight-hearted foreigners don't like you adding some private goods to the movie.
But what?
You have no way to refute the above guidance, you can do whatever you are told, how can there be so many troubles? ! If you dare to gossip again, believe it or not, you can't even be a director? !
What Yan Long could think of, Han Shanye and Yang Shoucheng could also think of, so the three of them turned to look at him together.
Facing everyone's eyes, Sun Hao touched his nose habitually.
"President Han, let's do this!
Here I have a movie script ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that is very suitable for the above guidance. It will definitely cause a sensation when it is shot, and it will also drive the development of new film technologies in our country, such as motion and expression capture technology. "
"What movie script?" Han Shanye frowned. In his impression, it seemed that Sun Hao's big film and television company had not yet delivered such projects to the film authorities.
"The name of the film is "Avatar". The script of this film was registered in the United States last year, but the investment is too large and the production cycle is too long. At least it will take 4 to 5 years. Therefore, I have been working on hesitate.
Now, since the higher-ups intend to lead my film project, well, please launch this "Avatar", because he mainly criticizes the Western foreign colonial policy headed by the beautiful country. "
Speaking of this, Sun Hao smiled, drank the beer in the glass in front of him, and then chatted about the plot of the movie.
"The story takes place in 2154. Jack Sully, a paralyzed ex-Marine in the United States, felt that nothing was worth fighting for. At this time, he learned that his twin brother had been killed. In order to complete the As his brother's unfinished business, Jack accepted a job with a mining company that was sent to Pandora.
