Chapter 1014 Liu Qianqian really has a little notebook? !
"As long as President Han can relax the review, I'm personally very interested."

Whether it is military or action themes.

They all have great potential in China's huge future voting base.

Xiangyang doesn't need to search for well-known movies such as "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Red Sea" in his mind as hard as he did "Taken" and "The Equalizer".

Of course, he admitted that these two spy series were also very successful, but "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Red Sea" also had good box office in China.

"Wolf Warrior 2", in particular, has pushed the box office of Chinese-language films to a height that filmmakers previously could not have believed.

Moreover, the Chinese film action film market is already very strong.

It is just important to note that although there are many costume action blockbusters released in 2011, Xu Ke's "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" will be released to the audience at the end of the year.

But from the perspective of the overall market, the costume action movies that have long dominated the Chinese cinema screens have shown a clear decline.

Comedy, youth, romance, suspense and other genres of movies are becoming more and more popular among young people today.

Of course, this is also related to the uneven production standards of costume action movies and the lack of innovation in the scripts.

The technological innovation that 3D brings to movies is certainly eye-catching, but in the face of a bad plot, even the most luxurious star lineup is nonsense.

The audience is not stupid.

Once the novelty wears off, no one will spend money to see special effects.

After the movie is taken off the screen and broadcast on the video platform, wouldn’t it be nice to kill time by watching this kind of movie while eating?
The original film is really disgusting, and you can also watch the complaints video as an electronic pickle.

"Does Mr. Xiang really have this idea?" Han Sanping asked in surprise when he heard that Xiang Yang was willing to pay for his support.

Is this a pleasant surprise?
"I was in Thailand these two days." Noticing that Yu Dong, who was sitting opposite him, also cast his gaze, Xiang Yang paused and continued, "To be honest, the biggest impression I got from the two-day trip was not the hot climate over there, but the local customs and people."

What are the local customs and practices?
To use Xiang Yang's specific words, wherever this group of people go, there will always be a group of security personnel accompanying them.

You can imagine that even the locals are on guard against any sudden accidents.

"I think the idea of ​​co-production can be broadened, and we don't have to focus on Hollywood. Films shot in foreign countries like Lost in Thailand can also be considered a co-production."

"Mr. Xiang's suggestion is good."

Bona has no share in "Lost in Thailand", but that does not prevent Yu Dong from making an appropriate statement.

The bosses in the entertainment industry also want to avoid helping.

What's more, Bona is now in a honeymoon period with Guangguang.

"Mr. Rang, would you mind asking for the remake rights for The Equalizer for us?"

"There shouldn't be any major problems with copyright." Little John nodded.

According to the information he had obtained previously, Weinstein's progress in developing "The Equalizer" was not as smooth as they had told China Film and Bona Film Group.

It’s not certain how many times the director and producer changed during the filming.

This development right also has a contractual period.

Maybe Weinstein came to him this time because the contract for the development rights was about to expire and the project had not made much progress, so he tried everything else.

"I'll make a phone call and ask." As he said that, Little John took out his cell phone from his pocket like an assistant.

He was just curious about why Xiangyang suddenly became interested in film investment.

Didn't he always give this piece of cake to the company?
As the call was connected, he soon received some information from the other end of the phone.

The call was not made to Hollywood, but to his French fellow, Luc Besson, who specializes in movies.

I guess few people don't know his name.

The director of "The Killer Is Cold" and "The Fifth Element".

He also filmed "Joan of Arc".

Since founding Europa Films, he has not only been making films but also working as a producer.

"Taken", which was mainly funded by 20th Century Fox, was partially responsible for the screenwriting and production work.

"The Equalizer" is very similar to "Taken" in terms of subject matter and target audience.

It's just right to ask him about this.

The person who knows you better than your friends is often your enemy.

"Haha, Besson, don't worry. If our Hermès Film Investment Company is interested in this type of film, we will definitely sponsor you. Just think of it as contributing to our French film industry. What can I say?"

"You chose Istanbul to shoot your new film? I'll definitely go and see it. You know I love Hagia Sophia."

"Okay, send me the script first."

In front of Xiang Yang, Bi Shafer, Han Sanping and Yu Dong, Little John showed off his oral skills.

Luc Besson on the other end of the phone was very happy.

Unfortunately, they both spoke French.

Only Xiangyang understood what they were talking about the whole time.

As for the matter of "The Equalizer", it was exactly as several people had speculated over the phone.

With Paul Haggis set to direct, Weinstein's development rights were about to expire.

If the project is not officially approved this summer, they will sell the development rights.

I heard that Sony Pictures Entertainment and another company called Escape Artists are very interested in the copyright.

However, apart from the rough script, the actors have not yet been decided.

No matter how detailed it is, Luc Besson doesn't understand it.

However, as a well-known director who has already developed the "Taken" series, he did share some opinions on whether this film can be approved. His views are similar to Xiangyang's.

For this type of spy movie, the most basic elements are based on the idea of ​​a character who appears cold on the outside but is passionate on the inside, and then opens up a bright path in an ugly world.

Combined with the fast, accurate and fierce action design of current action movies, the whole movie is exciting from beginning to end to stimulate the adrenaline of the audience in front of the screen.

Of course, the choice of the heroine is also very crucial.

But this is just like the rhythm of the film, everyone has their own preferences.

"In other words, is it possible for us to buy the remake rights of The Equalizer and then adapt it to suit our national conditions?"

With Xiang Yang's help in translation, Yu Dong showed special concern.

Isn't this a definite commercial blockbuster right in front of us?
"That depends on Mr. Han." Xiang Yang said, pointing at Han Sanping who was smiling bitterly at the side.

Shoot, why can’t I shoot?

You don’t need to buy the copyright, you can still shoot the film by changing the name.

The key point is that for this kind of movie, fist-fighting alone cannot satisfy the audience's appetite.

It is crucial whether the scenes of fighting violence with violence can pass the review.

If the script can't pass the review, then there's no point in filming it.

It would be better for everyone to finish their meal early and do whatever they need to do.

"Well, we are not outsiders." Seeing that several people were looking at him and didn't even look at the dishes brought by the waiter, Han Sanping twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

You said this matter was a big deal.
"Not much hope?" Xiang Yang asked curiously.

If there's no play, forget it.

He wanted to promote this film, just because of some ideas in his mind before going to Thailand, plus
It’s not to promote Liu Xixi.

She has no shortage of movies like this.

In a play where the male lead plays a leading role, he is just a vase.

He wanted to make this happen, and also because he decided to get some more money from Huayi, he felt that he had to appease Han Sanping, the head of the family, to some extent.

So as to avoid affecting the relationship among everyone.

If it were just him, he could do whatever he wanted without any worries.

The key is that my wife is in this circle.

To put it bluntly, even if Han Sanping retired, there is still a saying that "the little devil is difficult to deal with."

"Well, I'll try my best to talk to the people who are doing the censorship." Han Sanping sighed.

He could influence the film review process to a certain extent, but given Chong Xiangyang's attitude, he couldn't guarantee it.

If it's embarrassing, that's not it.
"Boss Han, you are being too polite." Xiang Yang pursed his lips. "Hong Kong films are not too strict in this regard, and they can still be released. It's not appropriate for our co-productions to follow so many rigid rules and regulations."

"What are you talking about? Hong Kong films should also be deleted." Han Sanping explained sincerely.

If such words, which were similar to forcing the emperor to abdicate, came out of Yu Dong's mouth, he would definitely turn a displeased face.

But when Xiangyang said this, he was not really angry.

No matter how close he is, he is not in this circle.

Some misunderstandings are normal.

Just like this dinner, the original purpose was to talk about co-production of films, but Xiangyang ended up imitating those coal bosses in the past and wanted to spend money to start it.

Aren't these things something that only people outside the circle can do?

It would be nice if Xiao Liu was here
Han Sanping was muttering in his heart, and Xiangyang also thought about it seriously. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said:

"Mr. Han, if the intention of this co-production was first proposed by the Thai film company, would it be more helpful for the script review?"

"Ah?" Han Sanping was stunned.

This person's brain works quite quickly.

Please let me slow down for a while.
What was I thinking just now?
"I'd like to share something with you. When I went to Thailand this time, I talked to Ms. Wu about the Beijing Film Festival. She was very interested in the cooperation between China and Thailand in the film industry."

Xiangyang felt that he had said enough when he was halfway through his words.

He did not use Ms. Wu to pressure Han Sanping. No matter how well Ms. Wu's family was doing in Thailand, they were still not related to him.

But saying this is to reveal a message to Han Sanping.

You can take advantage of this opportunity with the right time, right place and right people to achieve some results.

Now that we have the results, there is nothing else to talk about.

Anyway, I stuffed all the meat into your mouth.
the other side.

"Hello, Xixi, Xiangyang hasn't come back yet. Do you have something to talk to him about?" Old Zhao came home from get off work and received a call from his daughter-in-law before he had time to make dinner.

She was the one who opened the lock of the yard gate. The yard was empty except for a cow cat lazily lying on a lounge chair under the shade of a tree.

There is no one facing the sun.

"Ah, he hasn't come home yet." Liu Qianqian was confused.

We agreed to report as soon as we got off the plane, but there was no news for a long time.

The person hasn't returned home yet.

Who kidnapped this?
No, I have to make another note for him in my little notebook!
