China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 199 Arrangement
"33 Days Gone" is the quintessential chick flick.

Chick movies originated in the European and American markets. The earliest one should be Audrey Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Chick movies are also named after Hepburn's character in the movie, Tian Niu.

Also in the same genre are "Pretty Woman", "Legally Blonde", "Princess Diaries", "My Sassy Girl", etc.

The protagonists of these works are all young women. The scenes are in modern cities. Most of the heroines have sensitive personalities and rich emotions. The themes are mostly related to love, friendship, workplace, and marriage, and are often grafted with comedy elements.

Compared with other movies, they can better reflect the delicate psychological changes of women themselves, and through this change, they resonate with the audience.

Some people say that Bai Baihe started the era of mainland chick flicks, but this is not the case.

Last summer, Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect" was a typical chick flick. It had a novel theme and a strong cast and earned nearly [-] million yuan in box office, but it didn't get a good reputation.

Some time ago, Xu Jinglei wrote, directed and starred in "Du Lala's Promotion". The intrigues of women's workplace life in the movie resonated with many female viewers. Xu Jinglei gained the label of an independent and strong woman, and those who watched it wanted to laugh.

However, it can be seen from the gap in reputation between the two movies that this type of movie has very high requirements for the selection of actors.

First of all, the first point is that it cannot be too glamorous, otherwise the audience will not be able to relate to it.

For this reason alone, Liu Yifei was excluded.

In addition, it is best to have the excitement of a big BJ girl. Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in He Hua's mind. She is quite suitable.

But wouldn’t it be nice if he could use his girlfriend’s favorite projects to flatter other women?

Forget it, let's not think about it so much for now. There is nothing now. It is useless to think about it so much. And even if she knows it by then, I believe she will be able to understand herself.

When he arrived at the company the next day, He Hua told Huang Lan about the incident and asked her to make arrangements.

"33 Days Out of Love? Is this your new movie?" Huang Lan asked in surprise.

All the profits from "Lost Orphans" were donated, which is equivalent to half a year of wasted work at Youhua Entertainment. This made the company's profit statement in the first half of the year a bit ugly. Huang Lan could not wait for He Hua to start a new drama.

I just mentioned it several times but was ignored by him. Now of course I am pleasantly surprised to see He Hua take the initiative.

But He Hua waved his hand and said, "I won't shoot. I'll find a suitable director then."

"Let's not talk about this for now. There is no script yet. You go find the author and get the film and television adaptation rights first."

"Okay." Huang Lan sighed.

He Hua just pretended not to hear it, mainly because he really has no desire to create now.

Maybe he watched too many TV series and movies in the player, which made him lose his sensitivity to the work. As a result, everything he watches now feels like that, without any special ideas, such as that he must film it, or maybe There is a strong desire to talk.

So he is also worried.

Realistic themes have just been filmed, and it is hard to say that youth films are better than "Those Years". Comedy films are not good at themselves, and horror films have to be censored, so what is left?

Action movies, martial arts movies, science fiction movies, suspense movies
It seems that the choice space is really quite large, and he needs to think about it carefully.

He Hua originally thought that it would take some time to get a reply after arranging the work, but he didn't expect that Huang Lan would bring someone to him the next day.

"Let's meet Bao Jingjing. She graduated from Nortel Literature Department. She is the author of "33 Days of Love"." After speaking, Huang Lan turned to Bao Jingjing and smiled and said, "I don't need to introduce you to this."

The little girl nodded excitedly: "Teacher He, I particularly like your works. I have read your books and movies, and I like them very much." Fans, that's easy.

He Hua greeted: "Sit down, stop standing, what do you want to drink?"

"No, no. Just boiled water."

He Hua first talked about the differences between Chinese opera and school life at Nortel, and then got down to business after narrowing the distance between them:

"You should have studied script adaptation." Seeing Bao Jingjing nodding, He Hua continued: "That's easy. You also know that we came to you to make your novel a film and television. If you can come here, I believe you can do this. mean."

"Let's do this. You join the screenwriter team and cooperate with the director to improve the script. Then your name can be written in the screenwriter column. What do you think?"

"I have no problem." Bao Jingjing felt extremely satisfied to be able to cooperate with such a big shot and a big company just one year after graduation. How could she ask for so many demands?

After people from the marketing department led Bao Jingjing to sign various documents, Huang Lan raised her doubts:
"Who has the director chosen?"

"Just Sister Xue, mention it to her when you're done and see if she's interested."

Good guy, you're going to kill first and then show off.If someone doesn't want to, it's up to you what to do.Huang Lan complained in her heart.

If you don't want to, it's impossible. Who doesn't want to be a director who doesn't want to embark on the path of filmmaking?

Look at those directors who are active in the media: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Wang Jiawei, and Wang Jing. They are basically film directors. It cannot be said that there are no TV drama directors, but they are really very few.

There is no way, a movie can easily attract tens of millions or hundreds of millions in investment or income, just to attract the public's attention.

So as soon as Huang Lan told Xue Xiaolu about this, Xue Xiaolu called that night and communicated with He Hua:
"The story is fragmented and there is no main line. The script needs to be overhauled."

"I think the biggest feature of the whole story is that it is adapted to daily life. A down-to-earth story may give the audience a stronger sense of involvement."

The more we talked about He Hua, the more worried I became. I am afraid that the filmed film will be very different from the original work.

No way, every director has a different creative concept. Even if they get the same script and the same cast, they can't produce the same work. Everyone has preferences, and some directors like to use the camera. , like long shots, while others are not able to accept this way of expression.

Therefore, He Hua can only try his best to retain the essence of the original work in communication and keep the success or failure of the film within a controllable range.

Now "Orphan" has entered its last week of release.

In the fourth week that just passed, "Orphan" received a box office of 600 million, with a cumulative box office of 7600 million. Judging from the current box office trend, it should not reach 8000 million.

It may be that the early promotion was too aggressive, and most of the audience watched the movie in the first and second weeks, resulting in a weak box office in the later period.

However, it is already very good to achieve such results at such a time. Both Ray and He Hua are very satisfied.

And there is also overseas revenue. The reporter before did not make it up casually. "The Lost Orphan" is indeed very popular in RB. People from China Film Group estimate that the final figure will be between 13 and 15 billion yen, which is equivalent to 7000 yen. Ten thousand yuan.

In addition, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries have also made great progress.

Wang Changtian looked at the statistics compiled by the people below and expressed his heartache: I won't mess around with He Hua next time.
