At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 572 Reaching the Shanghai Film Festival

Oh, it's easy to say, I forgot the identity of Director Han...

Han Dong is the chairman of China Film Group.

China Film, in line with the above policy!

The big trend today is co-productions, to be precise: Hong Kong director + Hong Kong male protagonist + mainland female vase + Hong Kong behind-the-scenes team...

Because their business model is mature and they know how to make commercial films!

Of course, Director Han emphasizes cooperation: "We must carry forward the style and serve the characters in everything."

Shen Xudong subconsciously wanted to say, 'Why should we promote our style...', but...he held back: "Han Dong, you're right!"

"...Then you should give Hong Kong and Taiwan actors a chance..."

"No, we have Hong Kong actors in every co-production!"

"What about Taiwanese actors?"

"It can't be my fault. The Taiwanese accent spoken by Taiwanese actors doesn't fit the character at all!"

"...the accent is hard to change."

"In American film and television, there are a large number of actors from Britain, Australia and other places. They all have their own accents in life, but when they are acting, they can speak fluent American English without any trace of accent. This is a profession, Deng Zhao is from Jiangxi, and for "Life Events", he can make a Wuhan accent for a month, which is called professionalism!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong's tone was serious: "In my opinion, you are not professional enough with a Taiwanese accent... When making a movie, I don't care who you are, no matter where you come from, if you are not professional enough, you can't reach me. request, then I will never use it.”

Han Dong smiled: "Okay, I understand..."

"What's the matter, did they sue you?"

"...Well, the movies you make have never used Taiwanese artists...discriminate against them..."

"Nonsense, I have used Li Liqun and Jin Shijie... By the way, "Crazy Racing" used a group of Taiwanese comedians!"

……

It is understandable that Wanwan is very good at complaining!
Show weakness!
Take the initiative and then control public opinion...

And the special will pretend to be innocent, Li Min said about the Golden Horse Awards, "What people say on stage is her freedom"...

Bringing it back, last night, Shen Xudong asked Han Dong 'why did they target Tianmei and himself'?
Director Han replied, 'Don't you know your strength at all? '

Well, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Zhao Zilong", "New World" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" are just a collection of rounds, and the latter two are fully mastered, plus "opening up" the Hollywood channel, Shen Xudong is already a mainland Chinese The flag of the movie!

His attitude represents the attitude of his circle.

What Shen Xudong was puzzled about was... It stands to reason that the Wanwan group should please them first, and send a girl or something...

How do you file a complaint?
Is the order reversed?
Or... look down on him and don't want to send a daughter?

Anyway, no matter what, Shen Xudong is quite dissatisfied with Wanwan and those filmmakers...

Coincidentally, there are quite a few Taiwanese filmmakers in this year's Shanghai Film Festival.

Well, actually only Hou Xiaoxian!

Hou Xiaoxian is famous for his straightforwardness-it will take at least ten years for the recovery of Taiwanese movies!
He said openly that 'Chinese-language films, mainland films will play a Hollywood-style role, and will attract outstanding filmmakers from all over the world to make films there. "

He is still very far-sighted. In addition, he himself said, 'Taiwanese movies were ruined by two directors, Hou and Yang! '

——The success of "City of Sadness" is an excellent publicity for Taiwan.As a kind of cultural output, film naturally hopes to gain a higher international reputation.In the official letter of the Information Bureau that year, it was clearly pointed out that the best way to promote Taiwan to the world is through movies.

As a result, most of the "Taiwan Film Guidance Fund" tends to be literary films such as Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang, and less consideration is given to commercial and genre films.

This has led to a large number of people who study film to devote themselves to literary films in order to obtain the support of "tutoring money".

When these movies are made, the common people in Taiwan don't like to watch them at all.

Hong Kong commercial films are hot and crazy, and are deeply loved by the public.Although Ang Lee's "Pushing Hands", "Wedding Banquet", "Eating Men and Women", Cai Mingliang's "Youth Nezha" and "Long Live Love" were produced under the "counseling fund" plan, the Taiwan market has completely lost.

Film production plummeted every year.

……

Although Shanghai in June is not the height of summer, the atmosphere of summer is already strong enough.

Although there were not many foreign faces at the opening ceremony, Gong Li, Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Deng Chao... and a group of well-known actors from the Chinese film industry gathered at the opening ceremony, and the opening ceremony was already full of stars.

Shanghai in June really fits the adjective 'international' film festival".

But this is only the beginning.

In the next few days, "Fantasy Detective", "Life Events", "Mobile Phone 2", "Unspeakable Secret", and "Tracking" held promotional activities one after another...

Group after group of directors, stars, and star producers appeared in Shanghai one after another.

According to the original words of the media: For a while, the Huangpu River seemed to have returned to the 30s, singing and dancing, and singing and dancing every night.

Opening ceremony...too many people!
Bejeweled and star-studded, every star's appearance will attract long-lasting screams.

Shen Xudong walked the red carpet three times, namely "Life Events", "Taken" and "Taken 2"...

They are all films produced by their own company, and they are all used to promote...

The Shanghai Film Festival is really unique. On the one hand, it can summarize the gains and losses in the first half of the year, and on the other hand, it can look forward to the second half of the year.

Shen Xudong... I feel that all the female stars are very hardworking, and Gong Li is wearing a golden low-cut dress...

According to the media: the gestures are not only sexy, but also have the extravagance and arrogance of an international superstar...

But in Shen Xudong's opinion, this suit is really tacky!
Well, it's not as good as sister Jiuyi, who just wore a leopard print...

Really hard work!
After the opening ceremony, Shen Xudong originally planned to go directly to the Shanghai Film Studios where thousands of people were watching a movie - "Life Events" was the opening film, and he was notified by the organizing committee to go to the Jinjue Forum first...

The first topic this year is 'how to co-produce co-productions'.

Many people came, Feng Xiaogang, Du Qifeng, Wen Jun, Luo Yongchang...

The first topic is about grading...

A group of people talked about the benefits of grading, marketization and industrialization must have grading...

It's bitter, as if the decline of Hong Kong movies is caused by the mainland's censorship rules.

When it came to Shen Xudong, he only said, 'Aren't Hong Kong movies classified?That's right, the local market is still underwhelmed by PG-level Hollywood blockbusters! '

'The reason why Hollywood blockbusters can pass the world is because their ratings are impressive for all age groups! '

"To be honest, censorship has indeed restrained a large group of outstanding filmmakers, but in my opinion, the level of directors is not restrained at all..."

'I don't even know how the decline of Hong Kong movies is, let's just talk about the benefits of classification, the benefits of classification, what do you say?we do not know? '
