Chapter 374 Is There a Shady Story?

"Master Huan!"

"Hey, old Chen!"

Yang Huan heard someone shouting, turned around, saw Chen Kexin, and immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin smiled wryly, am I very old?

"Master Huan, thank you!" Chen Kexin raised his glass and said sincerely.

Yang Huan also lifted it up and clapped with him, but didn't drink, and asked with a smile, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for investing in my film partner."

Chen Kexin is not tall, so he slightly raised his head when talking to Yang Huan.

Therefore, Yang Huan had a panoramic view of his expression.

"I see him as a name right!"

Obviously, after being hit by several films such as the Famous, October Siege and Wuxia, Chen Kexin finally found the courage to prove himself again.

He needs such a movie to adjust his mentality, so that he can be more involved when filming the epic war of the Chinese expeditionary army, and then shoot this film with the highest investment in the history of Chinese films. most.

"Don't thank me, thank you sister Zhang Xiaoxuan, she supports you, I believe in her, and I believe in you!"

Chen Kexin nodded, thank you very much, he understands!

Yang Huan didn't care too much about Chen Kexin's thoughts, which was beyond his control.

He began to focus on the person beside Chen Kexin.

In addition to his girlfriend Wu Yunru, there is also a big fat man who is always smiling.

"Wang Jing!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!" Wang Jing's fat face immediately burst into a smile.

"Hello, I really like your movies!"

Yang Huan is honest, Wang Jing is also a filmmaker he admires very much.

Who knows, when Yang Huan mentioned it like this, Wang Jing smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, it's almost impossible to get along!"

"why?"

Wu Yunru laughed aside, "The director who claims to be the best at making commercial films in Hong Kong has screwed up!"

Wang Jing was obviously old friends with them, but he just laughed and didn't take it to heart.

Instead, Chen Kexin immediately explained it.

"He made money by filming TV dramas before, but he didn't make money or lose money by making movies for many years. This time, he is determined to play a big game. Even the name of the film is called Da Shanghai!"

Yang Huan had seen this movie in his previous life, and it was released at the end of 2012, but unfortunately it met with Thai 囧, and the box office failed miserably.

This is interesting, because Tai 囧 invested by himself, and his own people must support it.

"It's okay, who can guarantee that every movie will make money?" Yang Huan was open to it.

"In this way, don't go to anyone else for your next movie, I voted!"

Wang Jing was dumbfounded, "Really?"

"I didn't say it!" Yang Huan was also proud and agreed on the spot.

It feels like investing in a movie is like buying a toy for dozens of dollars.

Wang Jing was also happy now, and immediately pulled Yang Huan to drink two cups.

When talking about the movie, this guy really got excited,

Can't even hold back.

"Actually, Master Huan, your Chinese expeditionary army has a good theme, it is not difficult to censor, and the story is strong, but it is not suitable for Lao Chen, he is not good at making this kind of film."

Without Wang Jing's words, Chen Kexin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't object.

"Old Chen's filming of the name and the October siege somewhat caters to the wishes of the investors, but he is not good at this commercial film model, he is good at feelings, sweet and sweet, commercial films, especially war films, he Can't handle it."

Wang Jing is Chen Kexin's predecessor and the Hong Kong director who claims to be the best at making commercial films. He must have his reasons for saying this, but Yang Huan also has his own considerations.

"I know that too, but this time, there is no expeditionary army in the country, and the theme I play is feelings!"

In the end, Wang Jing is a smart person.

"You mean, to reflect on the war?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jing couldn't help but sighed and said with a smile, "Young Master Huan, your ambition is not small!"

"What do you think?" Yang Huan asked.

In terms of understanding of the movie, Yang Huan can't catch up with Wang Jing even if he shoots a horse.

"Master Huan, I don't know if I can say something?"

Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Of course I can."

Wang Jing looked at Chen Kexin again, who nodded.

After several contacts with Master Huan, Chen Kexin still knew Yang Huan very well.

For things that he does not understand, Yang Huan is very humbly accepting the opinions and suggestions of others.

"Actually, Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love is not as good as the box office shows. Even in my opinion, this movie can be a big hit in Asia, and the box office in North America is still good. The main reason is that the stars appeal."

Hearing this, Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded.

Fatty Wang's words really hit the nail on the head.

"This film is still telling the story of us Chinese people and the story of the capital, so it has a high box office in China, and in Asia, especially East and Southeast Asia, the culture is very close, and it has star appeal, so the box office is also very high. high."

"But in regions such as Europe and North America, the box office is much lower, and it can only be supported by Lin Yuner."

Yang Huan still agrees with this statement, because the results of the market research conducted by Miracle Entertainment are very similar.

It can be seen that this Fatty Wang has a level.

"If you say that making a movie is to tell a story, then if you want this story to go abroad and be accepted by people all over the world, you have to raise the perspective of the story from the Chinese people and tell the story of all mankind."

"A Hamlet-style story was filmed as a night banquet in China. This is a dark story that even Chinese people can't stand, but in Hollywood, it was filmed as The Lion King. Everyone likes, positive and sunny stories, this is the gap in the level of storytelling."

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, Fatty Wang's words really came to his heart.

For a long time, he has been pondering, what is the biggest difference between Chinese and American films?

Speaking of the so-called film industry, today is the era of globalization. If you can't do it yourself, you can't do it if you ask others to do it. We don't have a big or middle country, there is nothing else, just a lot of money!

Now that Fatty Wang said this, Yang Huan has a sudden realization!

The vision of storytelling is indeed something you can't buy no matter how much money you have!

"It's actually easy to realize this, but it's hard to do it!" Wang Jing sighed and said.

"Why?" Yang Huan was surprised.

Yeah, now that you realize this, there must be a lot of filmmakers who realize it too.

How come no one does it?

"Censorship is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head, but this is not the most terrifying thing, the real terrifying thing is that the pressure of censorship is stacked, and in the end, it becomes self-censorship, and investors instead became the biggest hurdle."

"Investors?" Yang Huan was surprised.

"Yes, investors, because filmmaking is a commercial activity, and the purpose of investors is to make money. If a film is made and cannot be released because it fails to pass the censorship, then the investor will lose a lot of money, so before submitting it for censorship, Often investors will self-censor first and delete some points of controversy that may cause sensitive issues, but the whole film has been changed beyond recognition and turned into a bad film before it was submitted for review.”

Yang Huan understood it now.

It turns out that some big bad films come from this way. It is no wonder that many commercial films that seem to be big and produced are so bad.

After all, how many people who invest in movies understand movies?

It is up to the investors to decide what to cut, and the results are predictable!

Looking at it from another angle, when Yang Huan invested in Deng Huatao's 33 Days of Lost Love, he also gave him some conditions, such as placing advertisements, placing Lin Yuner and Uncle Piao, and so on.

This is already enlightened. If you meet some investors who are controlling and pretending to understand, it will not be the end?

After all, there are censorship systems all over the world, and it is only the irregularity of the domestic film market that has caused all kinds of problems.

And it would be inappropriate to blame all the problems on investors.

Because investors are sure to make money!

"I understand!"

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, Fatty Wang's words made him see through a layer of fog.

"Old Chen, don't worry, what about you, just focus on making a good movie, write a good script, zoom in a little bit, we want to make a story about all human beings, as for the box office pressure, don't worry about it, censorship, there is not much problem, big deal It's time for me to come forward."

"In short, this movie, how you want to make it, then make it how you want!"

What Yang Huan said, not only Chen Kexin was stunned, but Wang Jing was stunned.

That's several hundred million. Although it's RMB, can you just mess around like this?

Could it be that this young master Huan doesn't care about money at all?

If he knew that Master Huan made 100 million a day, he would understand why he didn't feel bad.

Since everything has been said, Chen Kexin has nothing to hide.

"Then I think, go to the United States and ask an assistant director to help. He is best at filming war themes in Hollywood."

"Okay, you make up your mind!" Yang Huan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He doesn't even ask about money.

Because Yang Huan has always believed that there are specialties in the art industry, and things that he is not good at will be handed over to those who are good at it.

"By the way, are you familiar with Xu Ke?"

"Old Monster Xu?" Wang Jing immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin couldn't help but smile. They are all Hong Kong filmmakers, so how could they be unfamiliar?

"Could it be that you plan to invite Old Monster Xu to take pictures of ghosts blowing lights?"

Yang Huan had to sigh, Wang Jing is really smart, and he can see through it.

Indeed, he did intend to invite Old Monster Xu to take pictures of ghosts blowing lights.

"The oriental fantasy theme of the ghost blowing lantern is indeed very good, and it is also the most promising route to internationalization, because there are not too many barriers to values, and at the same time, it can promote the traditional culture of China, which has great potential!"

Yang Huan felt the same way.

"I think, among the many Chinese and Chinese directors, Old Monster Xu is the one who can best express that smell!"

Wang Jing also agrees with Yang Huan's point of view.

"One ghost, one weird, it's weird if they don't match!"

Hearing this, Yang Huan felt that it rhymed quite a bit, so he couldn't help laughing.

"I saw Old Monster Xu over there just now. I called him and called him over." Chen Kexin laughed.

Wang Jing also nodded and said, "I met Old Monster Xu before, and I told him about this, and he was also very interested, but recently he is preparing for another movie, it seems that he is going to outwit Tiger Tiger. Mountain."

"Really?" Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, then full of surprises.

This is a movie that he was looking forward to very much before the time travel in 2014. He didn't expect Old Monster Xu to start planning it now.

"That's fine, you find him and say, I'll invest in him to take out Tiger Mountain!"

This time, Wang Jing wasn't so shocked. He was just a little stunned, and then looked at Chen Kexin, both of whom were tacit.

Another movie cast!

Rich people are cool, they can vote without blinking!

Taking advantage of Chen Kexin's call to Xu Ke, Yang Huan chatted with Wang Jing about the preparations for the China National Expeditionary Force.

Wang Jing also agreed, and will definitely help Chen Kexin with advice and assistance on business elements.

Not to mention, this Fatty Wang is full of movie scenes. From domestic to foreign, almost every movie is a treasure.

As soon as it was mentioned that there was no expeditionary force in the country, he immediately proposed several very good bridges, which made Yang Huan full of praise.

He really deserves to be the director who is best at making commercial films in Hong Kong!

Just when the two were chatting hotly, someone passed by them and cursed indignantly.

"Damn it, wait for a while, no matter who you vote for, you must not vote for the lousy movie Thirty-Three Days of Lovelorn, and you won't vote for it!"

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard it.

Could it be that there is still a shady scene at this movie awards ceremony?
