China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 634 Celebration Banquet and New Script [Two in One]

No. 8, Xiaoyun Road.

Swish Swish Swish
As the printer buzzed, a script, still exuding the scent of ink, was printed.

Sun Yi flipped through it briefly and found that there was nothing wrong with the handwriting and clacking. He made a mark on the script with a pen, then stood up and stretched his waist with a hiss.

It wasn't that he was exaggerating, but the muscles all over his body were really sore.

From morning to now, he has been busy in front of the computer for nearly 4 hours. Except for being called over by Xiao Nizi to have breakfast and go to the bathroom, he has not moved a step.

In fact, with his current status, he doesn't have to be so tired at all. He can leave it to the company's screenwriters. He only needs to give the final acceptance.

But this script was different. It was what Xiao Nizi had been thinking about, so Sun Yi simply did it himself, which could be regarded as a show in front of his wife.

Hearing the movement in the study, the sound of slippers hitting the floor tiles came from far to near.

Just by listening to the sound of kicking and tapping, you can guess that it is a fast-paced trot.

Sure enough, the next second.

Liu Yifei's dazzling pretty face appeared outside the study door. Like a thief, she grabbed the doorframe with both hands and poked her little head in, blinking at Sun Yi.

"It's a script, is it finished?"

Liu Yifei had sharp eyes. While asking, her beautiful eyes had already glanced at the printed book on the desk.

Sun Yi smiled, nodded and said, "It's a good thing that I have lived up to my mission. If I hadn't finished writing it, I might not even have the chance to sit in a wheelchair and watch you dance with other old men, and I might even have to have my tube extubated."

"Nonsense, how is it possible? I love you so much, hehe."

As he was saying this, he had already entered the study room, and the kitten's paws had already reached for the printed book.

"Hey! Hey! We have a celebration dinner in the afternoon. You haven't washed up yet. You can read it again tomorrow, or if you come back in the evening, the script can't be run here."

"I don't~"

Liu Yifei grabbed the script and stuffed it into her arms, turned around and ran to the sofa.

The impatient look made Sun Yi shake his head and smile bitterly.

As for what?
That's really it.

Although Sun Yi also studied acting at first, he has his own unique "advantage", so he has never had any worries about things like scripts. Now that he has entered the director's field, he does not know enough about an outstanding person. How attractive the script is to the actors.

Not to mention, this script is not just a script for Liu Yifei.

She knew it in her heart.

Strictly speaking, after the two confirmed their relationship, this was the first script with love as the core and with two people playing the male and female protagonists respectively. How could she not look forward to it.

No woman can resist this inexplicable sense of ritual.

To put it into perspective, the first movie the two collaborated on was "Those Years". Although it was also a love affair, it was at best the spark of youth. Besides, the two had not yet confirmed their relationship at that time.

The subsequent "Unknown People" and "Shelter" either did not have Sun Yi or Liu Yifei. In "The Untouchables", the two acted together, but there were very few emotional scenes.

As for "Wings in the Sky" and "Pacific Rim", the core theme of both movies is not love. One is a historical epic theme in a special period, and the other is a science fiction theme in the future doomsday.

Love is just a way of expression in these two movies. Unlike this time, the entire script revolves around the love story of the male and female protagonists.

Sun Yi raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. He made a rough estimate in his mind based on how long it would take Xiao Nizi to wash up, style herself, and choose clothes. Then he said, "There's still half an hour at most, and then you have to hurry up." Pack it up, unless you want to participate like this."

"Yeah, um, I got it~"

Liu Yifei sat on the sofa with her long legs crossed, all her energy was focused on the script, and she didn't even raise her head when responding to Sun Yi.

That look of disgust seemed to say:
"I don't have time, you can leave~"

Sun Yi was speechless for a while.

Just throw it away after use, or do you think love will disappear?
"How long does it take to repay the mistakes you made when you were young?"

"Zhemin works three jobs. During the day, he works tirelessly delivering water for people. His employer would haggle over every penny he was paid. At night, he works as a night shift security guard in the parking lot. It is common for him to bow and scrape to the luxury cars that come in and out. Occasionally, he would take on a few jobs to collect illegal debts for others, but he never hurts anyone because he only wants to make money to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young."

"He used to be an excellent boxer, but after he retired, he went astray and became a thug. During a debt collection process, the debtor was cornered by him and chose to set himself on fire. Although he was rescued in time, his life was not injured. , but he was also left with a lifelong disability, and Zhemin was sentenced to 4 years in prison."

"After he was released from prison, he changed his mind, worked hard to make money, and voluntarily shouldered the medical expenses of the victims. He originally thought that his life would be wasted in such an ordinary way, but he did not expect that a blind girl would suddenly break into his world."

"Boxer, blind girl."

Just when Liu Yifei was watching with great interest, the script in her hand was snatched away by Sun Yi without her noticing.

"It's time, go wash up quickly. Zhang Xin has already set off with the makeup artist. Don't let people wait for you."

"I haven't finished reading it yet!"

Liu Yifei raised her hands high and vented her dissatisfaction loudly, almost rolling on the floor.

"Okay, okay, I'll see you when I come back tonight, business is more important."

"Humph!"

After snorting heavily, Liu Yifei walked into the bathroom reluctantly.

Although she looks like this right now, she is actually just having a little fuss.

If she really wanted to do nothing and attend the celebration without makeup, she would have to be more anxious than anyone else.

It's not that Xiao Nizi can't be beaten without makeup, on the contrary, she can be beaten if she can.

But today's celebration is not just Xingkong's own business. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big gathering for the entire film industry. Sun Yi even sent invitations to his arch-enemy Hua Yi, which shows how many people are coming today.

As the quasi-proprietress, Liu Yifei should dress up to attend the event, which shows respect for herself, the company, and the guests.

Generally speaking, the literal meaning of a celebration banquet is a gathering organized to celebrate the smooth progress of an event and commend winners. It is usually attended by relatives, friends or people in close social circles.

The participating members shared the joy of victory with each other, recognized the winners for their efforts in winning, and offered their blessings for reaching new heights.

Xingkong's celebration banquet today is no exception, but the scope has expanded a lot, basically including the entire Chinese film industry.

China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Bona Film Group, Enlight, Pony.com, Orange Sky, and even Yinghuang and Huayi Film Group all participated.

Moreover, it is always the boss who comes in person, or at least the second-in-command of the company, or a big director or star under his banner.

After all, this is the first Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 1 billion, which is a good thing for all Chinese filmmakers.

This shows that the overall situation of China's film market is becoming more and more prosperous.

Although Xingkong took the lead, the entire market pie has also grown bigger, and other production companies have followed suit. Xingkong eats meat, they can drink soup, and they can have a delicious meal in this big market.

Tonight, Liu Yifei is wearing a jade-white national-style dress with ink chrysanthemums printed on it. Her medium-long hair is draped smoothly on her shoulders. She wears a pearl necklace on her swan-like jade neck. She is generous and decent yet elegant and solemn. .

Standing next to Sun Yi with a smile, he greeted every arriving guest. After entering the venue, he followed Sun Yi and stood beside all the big guys, making the female stars present extremely jealous.

But there was nothing I could do about it. Who knew how to choose someone? After I found such a good boyfriend, I decided to win him over immediately.

Let’s talk about the celebration scene.

"Three screens, Xiao Sun, the movie is a hit, congratulations to you."

"Hey, Zhonglun, you are a heretic, you are a heretic, we are all Chinese filmmakers, we are all happy, we are all happy, hahahaha~~~"

Han Sanping waved his hand lightly and smiled heartily in front of Ren Zhonglun, which made Sun Yi beside him a little confused as to how to continue.

It was a rare honor to be given today. Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Academy flew to the capital in person just to attend the celebration banquet, so he had to give it a good reception.

"Director Han, President Ren, when the celebration party opens later, would you like to go up and say a few words?"

Sun Yi asked.

Of course, the leader's speech is an indispensable part of the celebration banquet. Although today is a major event in the circle, the official leaders did not participate.

The most powerful people right now are the two in front of Sun Yi.

Han Sanping looked at Ren Zhonglun, licked his lips, and said humbly:

"Lao Ren is here today, so I won't go up there. I'll just go up again later when I'm smashing the ice sculptures."

Listen, listen, this sounds like what a big leader said.

It can literally drive people to death.

I will participate in the box-office smashing ice sculpture later, so I will give you the opportunity to give the opening speech.

Fortunately, Ren Zhonglun had been dealing with Han Sanping for many years and knew a lot about his gangsterism. He was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled at Sun Yi and said slowly: "Tonight's celebration banquet, the protagonists are your Starry Sky Image and you. As a director, I won’t take over the spotlight, just think of me as someone here to mess around.”

"Mr. Ren was joking, how could that be?"

Sun Yi wanted to give in again, but unexpectedly was interrupted by Han Sanping again.

"Okay, let's talk about it if Lao Ren doesn't want to talk about it. I won't talk about it today, so you can go alone. It just so happens that many people from the entire film industry came today. You can also briefly talk about it, including the future of our film and television industry. Let’s talk about the development and prospects and share the experience with everyone.”

"Me? A junior. Not so good."

Sun Yi felt that he was too young. In the first three rows of today's celebration party, there was no one younger than him, and the closest ones were all one round older than him.

"Hey, don't belittle yourself. A master is a teacher. The idea of ​​three screens is very good. Your current level and results are fully qualified for this."

Ren Zhonglun also said affirmatively.

Sun Yi thought for a moment and could only nod lightly.

There was no preparation at all in advance, so let’s just take it as it comes.

When the time came to 7 o'clock, Sun Yi walked onto the stage with Liu Yifei's encouraging eyes.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to tonight's celebration banquet."

"First of all, on behalf of the crew of "Pacific Rim," I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for coming."

"First of all, let me tell you some good news. After the movie ended with a box office of 5100 million US dollars in the North American market, it has been officially released in South Korea and RB. The final box office was 7200 million US dollars and 9500 million US dollars respectively. In Europe The overall market box office revenue also reached million U.S. dollars.”

"In other words, the global box office of "Pacific Rim" has exceeded US$6 million so far, temporarily ranking tenth in the world."

Sun Yi put his index fingers against the microphone and made a "ten" gesture. The audience was silent for two seconds, and then burst into thunderous applause.

Starry Sky's own staff sitting behind the guests cheered and stood up excitedly, and the atmosphere at the scene was instantly high.

Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Sun Yi paused for a while, then pressed his hands. After everyone's emotions dissipated, he continued to say with a smile:

"Well, the results report is over. According to the process, the next step should be the leader's speech, praising Xingkong and me personally, affirming our achievements, and hoping that we will continue to work hard."

As soon as Sun Yi said these words, the audience burst into laughter.

Liu Yifei even covered her mouth with laughter.

How can any brother praise himself like this?

Han Sanping pointed at Sun Yi with his finger and looked at Ren Zhonglun next to him helplessly, as if he was saying:

Look, look, this is your proposal, you can't let this kid play freely.

Ren Zhonglun also shook his head with a wry smile.

Who would have thought~
"But, today, the two leaders, Director Han and Mr. Ren, can't talk about it. Let me take this opportunity to talk about my experience and share my thoughts with you."

"Frankly speaking, none of you in the audience have more experience than me. When it comes to thoughts and experience, I have no place at all. But I have indeed made some achievements, so I just want to talk and share it with you."

"I'd like to state it again, let me just say it, and everyone will just think that the stone from the mountain can attack the jade, don't take it seriously."

Sun Yi said it very modestly, but all the film and television company bosses and directors in the audience were sitting upright and began to look forward to it.

This is the director of a movie worth 5 million US dollars worldwide. China has almost 1.5 million US dollars. Even if the other 4.5 million is calculated based on the split film, % is still more than million US dollars.

This figure is comparable to the net profits of other companies for several years. Who wouldn't be greedy?

In fact, including the distribution share of overseas distributors and the deduction of some other taxes and fees, the income is not that much, but it is still no problem to record it uniformly according to the 9000% tiered accounting. This way, the overseas box office income of the movie is calculated There's nearly $ million left.

Isn’t this the private jet that this little girl has longed for?

Back at the celebration party, Sun Yi, who was standing on the stage, did not keep everyone waiting and said directly:
"Many people say that film is an art. This is true, and I agree. But I would like to add that in today's era, the art of film is expressed in an industrialized form."

"When it comes to the film industry, it's confusing. It's an industry that's always confusing. This is true for laymen, but it's also true for us insiders."

"It's like "Titanic" more than ten years ago. The investment in this movie was 200 million US dollars. When it became a box office of more than 1 billion US dollars after its release, everyone studied it and even worked out its formula."

"Tragedy, love, disaster, high technology, and the related popularity of the subject matter are summed up very concisely and very correctly."

"But if I tell you this recipe and then ask you to make a movie, you may not win."

"This is also the unique charm of the movie."

"In my opinion, many of our colleagues in the country are not thinking at all, but they are thinking too much. They want this and that. Where can such beautiful things come from in the world."

"Take those classic, even old-fashioned story plots, and adapt them locally to awaken China. We only consider the compatibility with local Chinese movie fans, and don't add many additional things of the director's own."

"Start from copying, accumulate experience, from shooting to screening, analyze from beginning to end why this scene has become a classic, and then adjust according to the response of domestic movie fans, and finally localize creation, become self-reliant and self-reliant, and gradually form a set of my own system.”

"Don't feel ashamed of copying. Our movies are inherently decades behind Europe and the United States. Starting from copying is the only way for those who are behind to catch up. This is true in all walks of life!"
