477, Haitian, feast?
""The Fugitive" was the "first shot" of imported blockbusters. Although the film caused a stir, it was eventually screened in 6 cities across the country and grossed 25.8 million yuan at the box office. This result is truly staggering.
Even more sensational than "The Fugitive" was "True Lies" starring Schwarzenegger in 1995...
This film had all the commercial elements, including fighting, erotica, and big scenes. At that time, even the leaders of the film department were shocked when they saw it.
My senior Liu Hongpeng worked at the Capital Cinema back then. He clearly remembers that the movie was so popular that a ticket cost 30 yuan, but scalpers sold it to more than 80 yuan.
…”
Han Shanye is talking about history.
He talked endlessly about the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on the Chinese market in recent years, and it felt 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 Chiling. The feeling of being "hugged on the left and on the right" made him very uncomfortable. He was afraid of embarrassment, so he could only drink one cup after another.
The color of Yinlong is wilted.
Sitting opposite, he kept winking at Sun Hao, brother, we are all men, so don't be reserved. You must know that Lao Yang spent money on this dinner.
However, the financier Yang Shoucheng has more rules.
When Sun Hao drinks, he immediately picks up the bottle and refills it, drinks again, and refills it. Anyway, he must not leave the wine glass empty.
Damn, thank god it’s beer!
If it's high-alcohol liquor, I won't be able to tell you where it is today.
He drank too much beer and wanted to drink some water, but before Sun Hao could get up, Han Shanye, who had finished his speech, asked him:
"Sun Hao, what do you think?"
What did I think..., how do I know what I thought?! I didn't listen carefully to what you just said.
Fortunately, Sun Hao was smart and didn't listen carefully to this part, but he understood the part just now.
Sun Hao, can you come out quickly and help domestic films?
"Mr. Han, just tell me what I should do?" Sun Hao said simply.
"Um…"
Looking at Sun Hao's loyal and courageous look, Han Shanye nodded, feeling greatly relieved. The on-site report I had done for more than half an hour was not in vain.
"First, in your opinion, should our country's film market be opened up?"
"Mr. Han, I think we should open up, because only by introducing competition can our country's film industry develop rapidly, but opening up must be done step by step.
For example, can we increase the annual quota for Hollywood blockbusters from the current ten to twenty?"
"Well... you have the same view as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang. Our film industry can neither close itself off 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 program in line with national policies, and plans to invest 30 million yuan every year to focus on supporting 5 to 8 young people.
The director is making a movie, would you be interested in participating?"
"This...can I not be interested?" Sun Hao asked tentatively.
Han Shanye shook his head.
"Then what else can you say?
I'm interested, I'm very interested in making progress with new colleagues in the circle."
"Pfft..." Guan Zhilin was happy.
Regarding Guan Zhilin's beauty, Huang Zhan, one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, once described it like this: She is radiant and charming. There is a feeling of pride and beauty on her face, like a mother who is the best in the world.
Although Yimei's appearance makes people a little bit uncomfortable, they have to succumb to her beauty and cannot refute it.
Because of this, when he heard her chuckle, Sun Hao turned his head and was fascinated.
Not to mention, Huang Zhan is really a very good judge of people.
"Cough cough cough..."
Han Shanye coughed loudly, which woke up Sun Hao.
"Um... I'm sorry, Mr. Han!
I just thought about it carefully, and although I am willing to participate in the young director support program and even contribute some of my money, I need to personally deal with the film projects that want to win the young director support fund."
"Of course, your money must be spent clearly?!" Han Shanye raised his wine glass and clinked it with Sun Hao. The matter was settled.
"Third..." He raised his head, drank the wine, and showed the bottom of the glass to Sun Hao. Han Shanye continued to chat.
"The quota for Hollywood's imported blockbusters has been increased, and the pressure on our domestic films is heavy. Therefore, the authorities 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. In the words of the leaders above, what is called bustling is what comes and goes..."
"etc…"
Before Han Shanye finished speaking, Sun Hao felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Han, what do you mean?"
"It's not what I mean, what I mean above is that in the future, the films you shoot will be included in the national team, led by the China Film Group, to delineate tasks, point out the direction, and embed socialist values in domestic films so that Americans can watch them.
At the same time, the movie is subtle..."
As Han Shanye said this, he felt more and more guilty, and in the end, his voice was almost inaudible.
For a moment, there was silence in the room.
Even Yin Long, who had been winking at Sun Hao with a playful smile just now, frowned. One of Sun Hao's movies was able to sell well in the United States and even around the world because of its purity and novelty.
, so that movie fans’ adrenal glands immediately surged after watching it.
But if you add preaching content or seemingly ‘correct’ views in a certain aspect, then... the situation will not be good.
Because straight foreigners don’t like you adding some private goods that may or may not exist in the movie.
But what?
You can't refute the above guidance. You can do whatever is asked of you. How can there be so many things?! If you dare to gibberish again, believe it or not, you won't even be able to be a director?!
What Yan Long could think of, Han Shanye and Yang Shoucheng could also think of it, so the three of them turned to look at him.
Facing everyone's gaze, Sun Hao touched his nose habitually.
"Mr. Han, let's do this!
I have a movie script here that is very suitable for the above guidance. If it is shot, it will definitely cause a sensation, and it will also drive the development of new film technologies in our country, such as action and expression capture technology."
"What movie script?" Han Shanye frowned. In his impression, it seemed that Sun Hao's large film and television company had not yet submitted such a project to the film authorities.
"The name of the movie is "Avatar". The movie script was registered in the United States last year. However, the investment is too large and the production cycle is too long. It will take at least 4 to 5 years. Therefore, I have been
hesitate.
Now, since the higher-ups intend to take charge of my film project, then, well, please make this Avatar, because what he mainly criticizes is the Western foreign colonial policy led by the beautiful country."
At this point, Sun Hao smiled, drank the beer in the glass in front of him, and then talked about the plot of the movie.
"The story takes place in 2154. Jack Sally is a former American Marine with paralyzed legs. He feels that there is nothing worth fighting for. When he learns that his twin brother was killed, in order to complete
Following his brother's unfinished business, Jack accepted a job in a mining company that was sent to the planet Pandora.
