China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 274 New Director Selection
The result of focusing on the overall situation is naturally that China Film Group takes the lead.

He Hua didn't say much to Han Sanping, and turned around and handed the matter over to Huang Lan to fight for benefits. She was very familiar with this kind of thing.

He doesn't need to put too much thought into this kind of thing, he just needs to do his job well and perfect the script.

In December in Sanya, the climate is still very pleasant. The daytime temperature is around 12 degrees. After He Hua picked up his family at the airport, he drove back to the hotel. After looking at his family's demeanor, he asked them to have a good rest first. one time.

"The air here is so good, you can feel it as soon as you get off the plane." He's mother praised.

Liu Yifei nodded quickly: "Yes, the air is fresh and moist, not as dry as in the north. It feels quite nourishing, so we want you to come and live here."

"Live here for a while and have a look. If you like it, we'll buy a house here. You can come over if you have nothing to do. Anyway, flying is very convenient now."

Mother He quickly waved her hand: "No, no, we are used to living in our hometown, and we are not used to being away for a long time. Moreover, your uncle has a job and has no time to come over. It will be a panic if no one lives in the house after buying it."

He Hua's family came from the north, where it was colder, so they wore thicker clothes when they got on the plane. Even though they took off their coats when they got off the plane, they were still too hot. He's mother had a headache on her head just as she was saying a few words. Breaking out in a sweat, she simply prepared to take off the outer layer of her autumn clothes.

Liu Yifei was sitting next to her. When she saw this, she quickly came to help. She pulled the corner of her clothes and said:
"Uncle, don't you have winter and summer vacations? Come here when you have the holidays. You can also swim in the summer. It's good for your health."

"We can come and live here if we buy the house."

Maybe it was the last sentence that touched them. Before Mother He could say anything else, Father He coughed twice and then said:

"Don't rush to make a decision now, we'll see."

However, after they got used to it after staying for a few days and learned how expensive the hotel they temporarily rented was, when He Hua and the others said they wanted to buy a house here, no one objected.

The hotel He Hua and Liu Yifei stayed in was the largest Jinmao Hotel in the Ritz-Carlton Sanya, and the price for a day was 55000 yuan.

After the new year, the two houses in their hometown will be gone, so it is more cost-effective to buy one house.

He Hua listened to his mother's complaint and simply said: "You go out for a walk and check out a suitable house. It's a bigger one. It's inconvenient for Sissi and I to go out. You can choose it before we go to see it."

Then He's father, He's mother, and Liu's mother, as if they had a mission, went to the nearby real estate if they had nothing to do.

He Hua and Liu Yifei had some leisure time. They went out to play around during the day, sailing on yachts, diving, surfing, and climbing mountains. In the evening, they went shopping, looking for delicious food, watching movies, and so on.

"Children, animals, water, 3D, director Li Min is very courageous. He has taken all these difficult elements into one film."

And I have to say that he did a very good job. The beauty of the movie's scenes is almost comparable to that of "Avatar": the quiet sea, the sea at night, the sea with strong winds and waves, the sea with thunder and lightning, flying fish, sharks, jellyfish, Tuna, uninhabited island, clear freshwater lake on the island, furry meerkats
It is originally a thrilling story of distress, but the pictures are so beautiful that one cannot help but sigh.

After watching "Life of Pi", which overwhelmed many of his competitors in the early Lunar New Year season, He Hua sighed and felt that he was really far from being a true master.

Liu Yifei hung one hand on her boyfriend's arm and couldn't help but agree when she heard his words: "The filming is really good, not only the story, but also rich emotions."

"By the way, which story do you believe more? The one before or the one about cannibalism?"

He Hua turned to look at his girlfriend and said decisively: "Of course it's the former. This world is so beautiful, why do you imagine it to be so dark?"

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, and then continued to discuss the plot of the movie with her boyfriend.

Speaking of which, Liu Yifei's behavior is the same as that of many netizens on the Internet. Various interpretations of what the director wants to express in the work are probably the core power of literary and artistic films.

In fact, "[-]" is also very good, but if it were not in this schedule, the director should not be so arrogant, and the film's achievements may be more than this.

As for blindly creating suffering, it has no positive spirit and no power to soothe people's hearts.Isn’t this nit-picking? To be able to survive in such a desperate environment is in itself a sign of the strength of human nature. What the movie shows is that era and that period that may only leave the words “famine that year” in the book. History.

With an investment of 2.1 million, it has only been released for 20 days, with a cumulative box office of over 3 million. It is conservatively estimated that this movie will lose a small target. After all, Huayi has invested a lot in publicity and distribution.

Together with "Tai Chi 1", which was beaten by "Youth" during the National Day release, and "Tai Chi 11", which was released in early November, three movies in a row have suffered losses. Although Huayi's financial report has not yet been announced, the company's stock price has been rising for several days. Stopped falling.

He Hua looked at it and gloated: "Tell them brothers to be both snakes and rats, and retribution will come."

In addition to the poor box office performance of "[-]", there are many films in this year's Lunar New Year holiday that failed at the box office, such as "Blood Drops", "Big Shanghai", "The King's Feast", etc., which shows that similar to the previous huge The domestically produced blockbusters invested in are no longer popular with the market, and the history of box-office success but no word-of-mouth has passed.

Audiences began to watch movies selectively, instead of being forced into the market or kidnapped.

When leaving the theater, Liu Yifei carefully looked at the promotional posters posted in the theater, and it took her a long time to determine her goal:

"Next time we come, we'll watch "Twelve Zodiac Signs," "The Grandmaster," and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

He Hua looked up at their screening time, and was speechless for a moment: This guy, you still have three months to go, how free do you think we are?

After returning home, he gave the script of "20 Again" to his girlfriend:
"Take a look at this script and see if you are interested."

Don't worry, He Hua didn't ask Liu Yifei to consider starring, but asked her if she had any ideas for production.

"China Film Group is already contacting companies in Japan and South Korea, and the project will be launched on all three sides at the same time."

Of course Liu Yifei knew that her boyfriend was preparing a script during this period, but she didn't expect that their actions would be so big. As she took over the script, she curiously asked her boyfriend why he was doing this?Wouldn’t it be true that when a work becomes successful, countries with remakes will come to buy the copyright?

He Hua didn't explain much to her. He just said that this was an attempt with the China Film Group.

Liu Yifei just asked casually, not wanting to know more. He nodded and ignored it, picked up the script and read it seriously.

She finished reading the [-]-word script in a short time, and then she enthusiastically put herself into it, ran to the mirror and started making various expressions.

He Hua came out of the shower and was about to tease her about her beauty when Liu Yifei ran towards him. He thought his girlfriend wanted him tonight and was going to hug her, but he didn't expect

"Ow Oo"

Liu Yifei directly grabbed his ears, then opened her eyes wide and yelled angrily:

"You little brat, why are you talking to an old woman?"

"You even dare to tease an old woman. How dare you talk to grandma like this?"

"You don't even look at how old I am."

As she spoke, she used her other hand to pat He Hua's head, and then turned her head as if she had seen something terrible. Her eyes widened even more, obviously shocked.

He Hua didn't want to play with her anymore. He pulled off Liu Yifei's hand that was pinching his ear, then forcibly picked her up and threw her on the bed:

"Liu Qianqian, you have rebelled against me. Look how I will deal with you today!" Liu Yifei rolled around on the bed, dodging and begging for mercy:

"I'm just giving it a try. What do you think of my performance just now?"

Of course He Hua knew what she was doing just now. Wasn't that the scene in "20 Again" where the old lady came out of the photo studio and didn't realize that she had become younger. As a result, she was teased by two gangsters on the bus and she had to teach her a lesson. There was a scene where I saw myself getting younger from the car window and was suddenly frightened.

But he didn't care about that now. He grabbed his girlfriend's bare hands and pulled her over, then unbuttoned her bathrobe.
Where the water flows, the water splashes quickly, and when it spits out, the clouds and leaves are fresh.

Chang'e doesn't have any makeup, she just shows off her beauty.

After a big battle, Liu Yifei lay beside her boyfriend and gently pinched his lower lip with her hand, feeling quite like she would not give up until she achieved her goal:
"Tell me, what do you think of me playing the heroine when she was young?"

Not good, He Hua muttered in his heart.

If He Hua were to direct this movie, he would certainly be happy for his girlfriend to play the female lead. After all, he has 4 versions of the actress's performance in his mind. He could spend more energy training his girlfriend during the filming process, so as to achieve a better performance. Show her best.

Let someone else be the director. Let's not talk about his ability to train actors. Let's talk about whether he has the courage to play Liu Yifei's drama as producer, producer and heroine over and over again. This is really open to question.

Therefore, when considering Liu Yifei as the heroine, you must first consider finding a director whose qualifications/prestige can overpower her. This is not a matter of her being obedient, but a matter of coordinating and directing the crew.

But He Hua already had a candidate for the director of this film in his mind, and it was Han Yan, an alumnus of the Chinese Theater Academy with whom he had been in contact.

And I just heard that he had no good projects after filming "The First Time", so he had no choice but to film a TV series.

He Hua thought that he would accept the olive branch offered now.

But on his girlfriend's side, he lowered his head and glanced at her. The two mounds were now starting to take shape. He looked away and asked seriously: "Do you really want to act?"

Liu Yifei snorted coquettishly, and He Hua knew her attitude.

Okay, then we can only consider another director.

Han Yan also wants to come up with another project.

Thinking of this, he felt a little dizzy. He couldn't help lowering his head, forehead to forehead, and pressed hard: "You are really going to find trouble for me."

Tian Hehua turned around and asked Huang Lan for a director's information, intending to find a director who was good at this subject, not that big of a person, and just enough to hold down the crew.

Someone asked him why he didn't direct it by himself. Wasn't "Super Body" finished filming and just happened to be taken over?

Externally, He Hua said that he had been intensively creating in the past few years and was a little tired and wanted to take a break.

Internally, He Hua is actually afraid that he will be scolded when the movie is made.

If three parties shoot a script at the same time, they will definitely compare it when it is released. If his performance is not good, it will not be a loss of face for him alone.

People would think that a director of this level could have such a big name in China, but it seems that Chinese filmmakers cannot.

So, just think that he is overthinking it, since he is not willing to take pictures anyway.

Youhua Company regularly collects and updates director information and actor information. For example, the FIRST Youth Film Festival, an important stage for young directors now, will have staff register and include some names as soon as it is announced, which will facilitate the company's talent reserve and risk assessment.

He Hua turned to the back and couldn't find a suitable candidate. Of course, it didn't mean that the quality of these directors was not good, but he doubted whether these seniors could grasp the standards of this kind of light love comedy.

Although the theme is about exploring family issues, it cannot be made into a literary film.

It's even worse if there are young directors behind them. He Hua was almost worried to death until he saw Wen Muye's name.

Of course he knows this person. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a very good movie that combines commercialism and artistry, with a Douban score of 9.0.

He liked it very much when he saw it and watched it many times to study the director's shooting techniques and the screenwriter's story creation techniques.

So I wrote down this person's name very early.

If he were allowed to shoot, He Hua felt that there would be no problem in terms of creation, but it was a pity that he still had no good results.

He Hua continued to look at this person's resume and murmured as he read: "I didn't expect that he already has so many honors. People like this should be snatched up in the market."

Then he saw a message: "In 2011, Wen Muye was admitted to the Directing Department of BJ Film Academy to study for a master's degree and studied under director Tian Zhuangzhuang."

At this point, his eyes suddenly brightened. If Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang was here, he would have been worried that Wen Muye wouldn't be able to overpower the crew. That didn't exist.

And he has also enjoyed working as a producer for young directors over the years.

He Hua took out his mobile phone and was about to contact Huang Lan. Just as he was about to call, he hesitated: "Isn't it a good idea to let Huang Lan contact us? Who would we call if not her?"

After thinking for a while, he thought of a suitable person - Lao Mouzi

These two people are classmates and have a very good relationship, so it is very convenient to exchange messages and notebooks.

Lao Mouzi agreed readily.

On the third day after the news was delivered, Tian Zhuangzhuang called He Hua:

"Director He, I heard that there is an opportunity here. Do you think we can do it?"

He Hua sweated: "Teacher Tian, ​​don't say that, I have something to ask you!"

"Oh? But I heard that there are children who are in dramas"

He Hua immediately apologized: "Teacher Tian, ​​I like students from Nortel very much. Like Lu Yang, I follow many of them. I can't grab anyone like Guo Fan."

Tian Zhuangzhuang teased He Hua a few words before getting to the point:
"Xiaowen was very interested after reading the script, but he hopes to see three versions of the script."

He Hua knew that this person was also very good at screenwriting, so he agreed without much hesitation.

When Tian Zhuangzhuang heard this, he even smiled and said, "Then let's sit together after the New Year."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Tian."
