Entertainment: Angrily criticized Gege in the Beijing circle and was banned by the Beijing circle

But Europe has basically been hit to the point that only literary films remain.

There are only less than ten years left in the peak period of Hong Kong films...

The only ones that took off against the trend were mainland movies.

But if there is no Su Ye, the time for mainland films to carry Hollywood masterpieces is also after 2016~.

And.

Mainland films themselves have also gone astray, and even after 20 years, the vast majority of filmmakers are still garbage, only producing waste.

There are not many truly high-quality domestic films...

So.

In 98, a domestic film that won a box office of 283 million rose up.

As a director.

Su Ye earns more than just box office revenue.

At the same time, there is also a hidden status and influence!

You can't see or touch this kind of status and influence, but it's so real.

Today.

The high-standard reception that Su Ye received in Yindu is a direct manifestation of this status and influence.

Why is Song Dai, as the head of a state-owned enterprise, so warm and enthusiastic about Su Ye?

To use a very apt analogy.

It's like I'm about to enter the examination room of the college entrance examination, a scumbag who only takes 60 points all year round, was pleasantly surprised to find that the best student in the country is sitting at the table next to him, what kind of mood is this?

Yes, of course...

Ask the big guy to take me to pretend to be B and take me to fly!

Although Yindu is not a scumbag, Su Ye is undoubtedly a super scholar in the domestic film industry who can be compared to no one in 98...

Faced with the olive branch handed over by others, Su Ye naturally would not refuse.

"Brother Song."

Su Ye changed his name and said with a smile, "Since I have come to Hong Kong Island, I plan to shoot something different, and if I can't play in the mainland, I will come to Hong Kong Island to play." "

"The name of the movie is "Black Society: The Dragon City Years"."

Domestic supervision is relatively strict, and a subject like this will definitely not pass the trial.

And Su Ye came over this time, the purpose is to make quick money, of course he won't touch literary films, so the most in line with the Hong Kong Island film market is, of course, gangster films!

This "Black Society: The Dragon City Years" comes from To Qifeng's classic work in 2005.

This movie abandons some beautifying elements artificially added to the dark world of the "underworld", such as righteousness, affection, clear grievances, bottom lines, morality and other false things.

These things were everywhere in Hong Kong Island movies in the 90s.

For example, "The True Color of Heroes" Brother Ma and the like, in Hong Kong Island movies, these protagonists who are mixed in the underworld are all affectionate and righteous, conscience and blood...

But in reality?

The underworld is the underworld!

The underworld in reality is real, cruel, bloody, and violent, and the underworld characters are ruthless and profit-oriented, where are the good people?

The movie "Black Society: The Dragon City Years" conquered the audience in 2005 with its unique cold style, and also presented the cruelty of the underworld and the red fruit in front of the world.

So such a black society-themed movie with a sharp style, if it is released in 98, it will definitely sweep the Hong Kong Island film industry and open the door to a new world for the audience!

"No problem!"

Song Dai didn't think about it, and agreed in one bite, "Su Ye, you came to Hong Kong Island alone, don't worry, assistant director, photography, art, field affairs, producer, I have all the manpower here, you can use it directly." "

"This theme is good, the romantic heroism of the underworld that was rampant in the 80s is now aesthetically tired on Hong Kong Island, and your "Black Society: Dragon City Years" is completely a steel knife that penetrates people's hearts!"

"This cold, ruthless, and violent element, as soon as it is released, will definitely make all the audience's adrenaline burst and they can't stop!"

Song Dai is worthy of being the person in charge of Yindu.

Su Ye just talked about the general idea and style, and he keenly captured the popularity of the movie "Black Society: Dragon City Years".

"Haha, but this style really can't be filmed in the mainland, no wonder our director Su Da came to Hong Kong Island alone."

"This film is a pure Hong Kong film!"

"Even if the mainland can really pass the trial, the people will not be able to accept this style for a while, because we don't have such a realistic underworld background foundation in the mainland."

Song Dai concluded.

Su Ye nodded, Song Dai really got to the point.

Movies are a very important thing for a cultural atmosphere.

Art really has a boundary.

For example, Su Ye's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" can be a big hit during the Spring Festival, but if it changes to the summer file, it will definitely not be able to win the horror box office of 283 million.

And if "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is brought to Hong Kong Island for release?

Even if you lose all your money...

Su Ye was not polite to Song, and immediately said: "I am short of time, and within a few days, the construction of the crew and the manpower in all aspects, I will ask Brother Song to help me set it up." "

Song Dai also nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, within two days, the framework of the crew will be built for you." "

"But Su Ye, the movie here is going to be released, and it involves several theaters, what are your plans in this regard?"

In order for a domestic film to be released, it is very simple, just distribute copies through state-run cinemas.

But it's different on Hong Kong Island.

There are six or seven cinema lines on Hong Kong Island, and the number of cinemas in Hong Kong has reached more than 200 at the most, including large cinema chains such as Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Debao, and Xinbao, as well as small cinema chains with only a few cinemas.

Therefore, there is a ceiling on the number of movies on Hong Kong Island.

After all, it's just a city, with a population of six or seven million.

Two hundred movie theaters are already over.

With such a scale, it has supported the golden 20 years of Hong Kong Island films, and at the peak of its prosperity, the film industry once fed 200,000 or 300,000 employees every year, and produced more than 1,000 Hong Kong films every year...

But it's also to the limit.

Therefore, Hong Kong Island films cannot successfully open the mainland market, and it is destined to go downhill.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Su Ye.

Su Ye doesn't care whether Hong Kong Island movies are dead or alive in the future, but the situation of the cinema market competing for hegemony means that a movie cannot be released directly across the country without dead ends like the mainland. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

Anyway, there will only be state-run cinemas in China, and as long as you get the release permit, there will be no problem at all.

And on Hong Kong Island...

The theory of profit maximization is possible, and it is natural that "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" will be released in all theaters.

However.

There is still competition between several theaters! []

If you want to be released in all theaters on Hong Kong Island, you have to settle these theaters with different belongings, which is also a small river and lake...

"Over there in the theater, what did Brother Song say?"

Su Ye asked.

Song Dai thought for a while and said, "There's nothing wrong with Princess Jin, we still have some friendship with Lei Lao, just say it." Neither Debao nor Xinbao is a big problem. Together, these three cinema chains account for almost 55% of the number of cinemas on Hong Kong Island. "

"But Jiahe has several other theaters, and I don't have any friendship here..."

Golden Harvest is a veteran film company on Hong Kong Island that set up its own cinema chain in the 80s.

The remaining few cinema lines, after winning Golden Harvest, are not a big problem.

"Boss Zou of Golden Harvest..."

Su Ye was thoughtful.

Golden Harvest's Boss Zou is a big man in the Hong Kong Island film industry, founded in the 70s, and has created a sensational Hollywood legendary superstar Bruce Lee.

The eighties and nineties were also the peak moment of Golden Harvest.

It has international movie stars such as Cheng Long and Zhang Manyu, and is one of the few influential forces in Hollywood in Hong Kong Island Film Company.

So Jiahe had the confidence to engage Li Lianjie back then.

It's not that Golden Harvest and the mainland don't deal with each other, it's just that people have old qualifications and hard brands, and in the eighties and nineties, they didn't take the mainland very seriously.

Of course, there was still some cooperation with the mainland later, such as "Initial D", which not only had the investment of Golden Harvest, but also the investment of Yindu.

That's because...

Later, the mainland rose.

So in 98, whether it was Su Ye or Yindu, it was really not taken seriously by Jiahe.

Out of competition.

If "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" is released in the theaters of Golden Princess, Xinbao, and Debao, then Golden Harvest is likely to refuse to release this movie in its own theaters.

It's not entirely aimed at "Black Society: Dragon City Years" and Su Ye.

On the one hand, the cinemas are not monolithic, there is competition between each other, on the other hand, the cinemas under Golden Harvest, the priority in the nineties must be to release their own movies, and the films of other companies must be on the side.

This is quite normal.

It's just that for Su Ye, if he can't win the remaining 45% of the movie theaters, then the box office of "Black Society: Dragon City Years" will definitely be greatly affected.

Now I don't earn an extra dollar, but by the end of August, I will be able to earn at least ten dollars more.

This account still has to be calculated carefully.

"yes, I see."

Su Ye nodded, "I'll deal with it here, just Brother Song can help me set up the crew." "

"Good!"

Song Dai nodded, "Then I wish Director Su to kill all sides on Hong Kong Island, haha, let these Hong Kong Island people take a good look at the demeanor of our mainland director!" "

When Su Yewan refused Song Dai's invitation to stay overnight and left the Yindu institution with Qiu Shuzhen, Qiu Shuzhen was still in a dream.

"That's it? "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" will be built in the next few days? "

Qiu Shuzhen was still very confused.

Although making a movie is indeed a trivial matter in the eyes of the big guys.

Can......

I didn't even have a script, I didn't talk about how much I invested, and I didn't know who the actors were, so I built the crew first?

Feed!

It's so easy...

If making a movie is really such an easy thing, then the stars on Hong Kong Island, including the actors in the mainland, will not wait for the film appointment every day!

Qiu Shuzhen herself is an insider, of course she knows how difficult it is for an actor to get a good film contract.

When people are popular, it is natural to ask for a piece to come to the door and wait for you to choose.

But how many are there?

That's the treatment of a popular star in the entertainment industry!

Most celebrities, whether they are second- or third-tier or unpopular, have to meet with directors, investors, and producers, make friends, and go to various drinking parties and dinners, why?

Isn't it just for a piece of paper...

"That's right."

Su Ye stopped, looked at Qiu Shuzhen and said, "I forgot to tell you, you don't need to mention any film like "Lamb" in the future, since you follow me, just rest assured, I won't let you be on this kind of film." "

Qiu Shuzhen was not born in photography at the beginning.

She participated in the beauty pageant at the age of nineteen and entered the top twelve. Although he finally withdrew from the competition because he was falsely accused of plastic surgery, Qiu Shuzhen's appearance is here, which blind person can't see a knife? .
