China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 773 Awesome Script

I heard that Li Yu is very optimistic about the performance of his "Youth" at the Golden Horse Awards.

He himself is aiming at the Golden Horse.

Feng Xiaogang looked smug: "Director Li, my method may not be as good as your Parasite, but I am the only one who can make 10 billion yuan at the box office by making art films.

Also, the people at Yida Cinemas are all freeloaders. My films have a good reputation, but they schedule fewer screenings for my films, clearly targeting me.”

Feng Xiaogang had two ideas when he said these words.

First, he is very awesome. He can make billions at the box office even with art films.

So far, "Youth" is the highest-grossing film in his career and also the highest-grossing art film in China.

Second, he scolded Yida Cinemas for being unkind and not scheduling films for him.

First of all, Li Yu recognized that Feng Xiaogang had something of his own.

Forget about scolding Yida Cinemas, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi have criticized Yida Cinemas more than once or twice.

From "The Great Earthquake" to "I Am Not Madame Bovary" and then to the recent "Youth".

Feng Xiaogang once complained that the number of screenings given to him by Yida was too small, which was unfair.

Because Li Yu broke Feng Xiaogang's faith, Feng Xiaogang decided to make an art film to prove himself.

Therefore, "I Am Not Madame Bovary" and "Youth" were created earlier than their previous lives.

But it did not change the grudge between Feng Xiaogang and Yida Cinemas.

During the release of "I Am Not Madame Bovary", Feng Xiaogang wrote a letter to the head of Yida on Weibo.

The title is "A Letter from Pan Jinlian to Mr. xxx".

The content of the letter roughly means that Yida Cinemas deliberately suppressed his film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" in its screening schedule.

The head of the group would definitely not come out to respond. The one who came out to respond was Principal Wang, who is known as the national husband.

Principal Wang was extremely high-profile during those years.

Directly question Feng Xiaogang whether he can use his status as a big director to guide public opinion to criticize them.

It was also said that Huayi poached senior executives from Yida who had signed professional agreements.

You are only allowed to schedule films to squeeze out others, but we are not allowed to lower the screening schedule because we are not optimistic about your film.

At the end, Principal Wang also said that no one can resist money, but Feng Xiaogang's movies are really good at the box office, and they will definitely increase the number of screenings of the film according to the regular procedures.

Feng Xiaogang's nickname "Little Cannon" is not undeserved. He immediately seized on a point and made a sarcastic remark.

They said thank you to Principal Wang for making the cause and effect public, because it was because of their displeasure that they were pessimistic about the film, which led to Yida Cinemas reducing the number of screenings of the film.

This kind of thing is complicated and bystanders can only watch the fun and cannot just look at one person's one-sided account.

Because this is a conflict between two companies, it cannot be explained in a few words.

Feng Xiaogang was just the person that Huayi publicly expressed its dissatisfaction with Yida Cinemas.

So Li Yu didn't want to discuss the matter between Huayi and Yida Cinemas with Feng Xiaogang.

He perfunctorily replied, "I haven't had any of my films released in China in the past two years, and I don't pay much attention to the domestic film industry. I don't understand what you are talking about."

Feng Xiaogang said nothing more.

He knew that Li Yu had a good relationship with Yida Cinemas.

Because according to rumors, Da Tiantian has some relationship with Yida Cinemas.

It was impossible for Li Yu to say anything bad about Yida in front of him.

After parting with Li Yu, Feng Xiaogang turned around and said to Xu Fan: "This kid is very talented, I agree with that.

But this dream association he set up was pure fantasy. It wouldn't be long before he would lose all the hundreds of millions of dollars and not even have anything left.

This movie called "Dying to Survive", didn't they say before that they couldn't find investment?
Later, they found Xu Zheng and Ning Hao and raised tens of millions of yuan. Even the optical fiber company behind Xu Zheng was not optimistic about it and did not invest any money.

I think this movie is going to be a suspenseful one."

Xu Fan was surprised and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Isn't Director Li well-known in the industry for his good vision?

In the past, he predicted a lot of things correctly and invested in a lot of movies correctly. He made a lot of money from his investments.”

“Haha! The person with the best vision in the industry is just marketing propaganda.

There are also people in the circle who say that whenever a concert is held in a city, it will rain in that city.

When the album is announced, it will definitely be the number one trending search.

They are all just establishing characters. When the national master makes a movie, he also establishes a shocking character. I am shocked by the acting skills of the old actors eight hundred times a day. "

Feng Xiaogang complained with some disdain.

Including his own early years as the king of Lunar New Year films and the troika of mainland directors, all of these were due to his own and Huayi’s marketing and promotion efforts.

Feng Xiaogang said that as a veteran in the industry, these common tricks could not fool his sharp eyes at all.

On the big screen, the movie "Dying to Survive" started playing and the scene became quiet.

The story of "Dying to Survive" is not complicated. The male lead Cheng Yong is the owner of a health product store. His business is bleak and his life is in trouble.

His wife left him because of poverty.

Later he met a woman named Liu Sihui, whose daughter suffered from chronic myeloid leukemia and needed to take the expensive drug Gleevec for a long time.

Liu Sihui told Cheng Yong that the Indian generic version of Gleevec was cheap, and she hoped that Cheng Yong would become an agent for generic drugs and provide cheap drugs to domestic patients.

This story later attracted the attention of genuine pharmaceutical companies and the police, and the police began to investigate the generic drug trade.

Cheng Yong initially went to India to contact generic drug manufacturers for profit, but later, after experiencing many things, he became a person who did not seek profit but lost money to help patients.

The best thing about this film is actually the script.

There are few real villains in the film.

Zhang Changlin can barely be counted as one of them. He started out selling fake drugs, and later he competed with Cheng Yong for the agency rights and raised the price. He said he was saving lives, but in fact he was full of business.

But later he was caught and didn't say a word about Cheng Yong's incident, which was a good thing.

This is the best part of the film. There are no particularly bad people, but it is thought-provoking.

Liu Sihui fell into depravity because she had to do those jobs for her daughter.

Cheng Yong's initial goal was to make a profit. He was very conscientious and sold the drugs at a very low price. It seemed reasonable to take the high risk of smuggling to make some money. And later, he really wanted to save people and put all the money into it.

The police's mission is to uphold the law. They also know that Cheng Yong is helping patients, but they have to take action in order to uphold the law.

Genuine pharmaceutical companies sell their products at higher prices, partly because of the high R&D costs, and they also have to bear the risk of losing money due to R&D failure.

Indian generic drug manufacturers are pirated and infringing on copyright, but their generic drugs have saved many people.

I can only say that there is a reason why the movie "Dying to Survive" can be rated a 9-point masterpiece.

This script is really great.

Of course, the acting skills of Xu Zheng and other actors are also very good.

It is worth mentioning Wang Chuanjun. In the film, Cheng Yong told him to get out, and his expression is one of the famous scenes.

Before this movie, no one knew that his acting skills could be so great.
