At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 718 Refusal to cooperate
Shen Xudong wants to do "The Founding of a Country", in addition to showing off his strength, he will show off his muscles—without any strength, how can you attract so many celebrities to make guest appearances for free?
By the way, he still has a little thought: rewrite the rules of the gift film...

Liang Jiahui complained about one thing: A few days ago, I was watching "Changjin Lake" on a video website, and the result reminded me that I must have a VIP to watch the movie... I really don't understand why movies with the theme of patriotism need to be revisited. one charge?
If you want to charge for a commercial blockbuster, I have no problem with it. Patriotic films are special in terms of subject matter.

Do we want to be patriotic, but we must first charge money before we can realize it?

In fact, when "The Founding of a Nation" and "Jian D Weiye" were released in the original time and space, many viewers scolded their mothers-since you are in the name of offering gifts to the country and D, why should you charge for movie tickets?
Not only did you get the fare, but it was even more expensive!

Logically speaking, for the so-called gift, it is enough for the film producer to recover the cost, and the profit must be donated, otherwise it is not called a gift!

Or, it’s okay for children to be free, at least don’t promote it in the name of offering gifts.

Is it the market or politics?

Therefore, Shen Xudong is serious.

After the proposal, a proposal was written.

Very detailed, the key to the content is one sentence: use the star effect to attract the attention of the main theme movie.

Gao Fenfen immediately contacted the film bureau, but the film bureau didn't pay much attention at first...

Because from the perspective of the Film Bureau, such themes are bound to lose money.

Then Gao Fenfen promised to use an all-star lineup: even if it's just a line, we will contact a star to play a role we meet!
Come up with a complete planning plan.

This plan...

The film bureau is definitely interested!

More than a hundred celebrities performed on the same stage, which is very gimmick when you hear it.

Then I contacted the Propaganda Department, who personally met with Gao Fenfen and Shen Xudong, and learned about the general plot of "Founding of the People's Republic of China"... and agreed to establish the project.

Insert a sentence: In fact, there is no way to make a breakthrough in the content of a theme like "The Founding of a Nation".

It is necessary to continue the inherent narrative mode: tall and stalwart leaders, passionate battle scenes, complicated and cumbersome negotiation process and meeting scenes, a large number of classic quotations recited, and vivid and special actors.

Many people say, what is the meaning of the main theme movie?publicity.The filming is solid, and it can't attract most people to watch it, so what's the point of promoting it?

The truth is this, but as a real manager, the most important thing is to seek stability, as long as you don't make mistakes!

Therefore, Shen Xudong didn't modify it at all, even though he knew that "The Founding of a Country" had a crooked butt—in order to unify and beautify Chang Kaishen...

A very classic comment: Even if you find a Taiwanese director to shoot "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", at most it's like this!

But there is no way, this is the situation at this stage: unification is above everything else.

Han Shanping was participating in an event with Huang Jianxin, and he came across the "Founding of a Nation" project by chance while chatting.

At first, he wasn’t interested, because he had shot a lot of gift films, and none of them seemed to sell for money. What made him interested was a commercial masterpiece like "Red Cliff"...

But when Huang Jianxin said that "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was going to wipe out all the top actors in the Chinese film industry, he was very...curious and asked: "Catch everything? How will the salary be paid? He will die at a loss!"

"A gift to the motherland...he was going to give only a little red envelope...a symbolic remuneration...but he gave me 5000 million production funds..."

"No pay?"

Han Shanping immediately came up with an idea!
If "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" can really attract more than [-] stars, and there is no salary, it will definitely be a profitable project!

Of course, Han Shanping pays more attention to the 'main theme' attribute of "Founding of the People's Republic of China"...

That is to say, the success of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" will definitely be a remarkable achievement...

So, he decided to cut off...

It's a pity that in the past two years, none of the main theme films produced by China Film, including state-owned studios such as Bayi Film Factory, was a hit!

Most of them are three-day tours of theaters, and then sold directly to movie channels like dumping garbage...

More importantly, the project of "The Founding of a Nation" has already been established, and it is going to start filming at the end of the year, and it will be released in September next year.

Han Shanping didn't get it right, so what should we do?
He decided to find the initiator of the project—Shen Xudong!

……

Shen Xudong didn't want to see Han Shanping at all. The reasons were simple. First, he didn't want to cooperate with China Film Group. Second, he was worried that he couldn't refuse...

Oh, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" can organize so many stars to participate, not because of Neizhongying or Han Shanping, but because of the subject matter!

"My Homeland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me" have appeal to directors and actors, and they basically originate from the subject matter itself.

Tribute to the country...

Therefore, even if the trader becomes Shen Xudong, no one will not buy it.

As for China Film...

Gao Fenfen contacted Wenguang Media, Dianguang Media, and Jiangsu Radio and Television Central Station as quickly as possible to jointly produce and issue...

Before "October Besieged City" and "The Wind", Shen Xudong was in charge of production, and they were in charge of publicity.

Adding "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is not a big problem, and the all-star lineup will make a head start as soon as you listen to it.

"October Besieged City" 1.5 million, "The Wind" 6000 million, "Founding of a Nation" 5000 million...

Tianmei paid half of the production cost, and the rest was shared equally by the other three.

In other words, if Han Shanping wants to join, he needs to obtain the consent of the other three!

"This is the list of behind-the-scenes investors..."

Shen Xudong simply took out the planning form of "The Founding of a Nation": "I won't say anything, Director Han, if you can let them quit, China Film will make it up, and I have no objection..."

Han Shanping took it, glanced at it, and was surprised: "Wenguang Group, Dianguang Media, Jiangsu...do you have connections with so many companies?"

Shen Xudong had a good time: "Nowadays the movie market is booming, and everyone has ideas, but they don't dare to end it rashly. If you invest and cooperate with us, you can understand the market better."

"The investment ratio..."

"Oh, we'll take half, and the rest will be divided among the three of them..."

"Just this one project?"

"We are going to collaborate on five films, we already have two before, and "The Founding of a Nation" is the third..."

Han Shanping was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a while, before he said: "The main theme movies like "The Founding of a Nation" have always been produced by film companies with Chinese prefixes..."

"Mr. Han, it's a market economy now. We first found the Film Bureau, and then the Propaganda Department. They agreed to approve the project, and we organized the filming..."

"I mean, the genre of "The Founding of a Nation" can be found in China Film..."

Shen Xudong laughed: "I don't dare to go to China Film Group. The last time Gao Fenfen talked to you, I was very angry..."

"...she said to delay the release of "Red Cliff" by three days..."

"I've persuaded you a long time ago. Wu Yusen's filming of Chibi is just a joke... He has been completely brainwashed by Western movies, and he actually wants to use "Chibi" as a metaphor to fight against the war?"

Battle of Chibi.

It can be said that it is the most exciting passage in the whole book of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

At that time, CCTV's old Three Kingdoms directly separated a whole chapter called "The Battle of the Red Cliff"...

The three main characters are here, and there are wonderful allusions everywhere.

At that time, Boss Cao still has the possibility to lead the world, and he is full of spirits, drinking wine and facing the river, and writing poems horizontally;
Wu Guo is not yet a rat, the governor Zhou Yu is majestic and heroic, with a feather fan and a scarf.

Wolong has also come out of the mountain, pointing out the country and fighting the Confucian scholars.

The emperor's uncle is poor and strong, with the ambition not to fall into the blue sky.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao Wuyong in Xiaguan is unsurpassed.

These three parties are in Chibi, and there are so many heroes at that time.

This is the peak of romanticism in the classical age.

So what is the core of Chibi?
It's heroic!
It is the ambition to unify the world and save Li Shu!
Everyone is a good man and a hero who stands up to the sky.

Han Shanping smiled wryly: "I don't know why Wu Yusen made such a film, I was dumbfounded when I saw the finished film..."

"Haven't you guys watched "Windtalker"? That movie is as lackluster as plain water, and the war scenes that are mainly promoted are even more pointless, messy and disorderly, making people drowsy, as if to highlight that this is a war movie. The battle scene was shot, anyway, it was an explosion.

Most importantly, the scheduling of the battlefield shots is also hard to describe.

To put it bluntly, removing several battlefields in the middle will have little effect on the plot, and it may even be better...

If you watched "Windtalker", why did you ask him to do "Red Cliff"? "
