Chapter 980 "The Godfather"

More than ten minutes passed, and Tan Yue still had no idea. He stood up with a cup and stood on the balcony to rest for a while.

As an important step in the development of the company, every movie shot now must be carefully selected.

The main purpose of shooting movies before was to improve his status in the entertainment industry. This goal has now been achieved, and he has become a unique existence in the domestic entertainment industry.

As he slowly entered the international entertainment industry, there are naturally more things to consider. Not only should he think about himself and the development of the company, but he should also promote Chinese entertainment to the world.

Chinese entertainment has received little attention in the international entertainment industry, so it is particularly important to choose movies.

"The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump" have been successful in the global film market, making people abroad start to pay attention to Chinese movies.

After standing by the window for a while, the water in the cup had run out, and he filled another cup, and Tan Yue returned to the computer.

He operated the mouse and logged into his Weibo account, trying to find inspiration from the comments.

Netizens have many ideas.

As soon as he logged in, he saw many message reminders, some with comments and some with likes, and Tan Yue read them one by one.

"I haven't seen enough, I haven't seen enough at all. When will "The Long Season" be rebroadcast? I've been waiting."

This issue is already being dealt with. Several TV stations are discussing the purchase of rebroadcast rights, and several video platforms are also discussing with Brilliant Entertainment.

As for the price of the copyright, it will definitely be lower than the first broadcast, but because the performance of the first broadcast was so good, the price will not be too low.

The fans' question will soon have a result.

"The Long Season is the best suspense drama I have ever watched. I watched it from beginning to end."

"Brother above, this is just a drizzle. A true old fan will never miss a TV series or a movie. But I have to say that I really love watching "The Long Season."

"The three passionate old people are so interesting. Every time I watch them, the three of them want to laugh. The behind-the-scenes footage must be very interesting. I hope Teacher Tan Yue can show us some of it to satisfy the wishes of an old fan like me."

"The Long Season is so good. The ratings have exceeded 5. With such good results, why don't you consider shooting a second season?! Even if it's not good, I will keep watching it!"

After all, "The Long Season" has only been broadcast for a short time, and the popularity is still there, so many comments in the comment area are related to this TV series.

But there are also some others.

"If I remember correctly, the last song I heard written by Teacher Tan Yue was "Sailor", which seemed to be released after "The Truman Show" was offline. How long has it been? I beg for a new song."

"Now that "The Long Season" has finished airing, I suggest that Teacher Tan Yue plan a new variety show first. I am tired of watching the existing variety shows and have no appetite when eating."

"I think it's time to make a movie. Comedy, inspirational, and military movies are all fine."

"Of all the movies Teacher Tan Yue has made, my favorite is "Infernal Affairs". I hope Teacher Tan Yue can make a sequel."

"Fans should be what fans should be. Whether Teacher Tan Yue makes a TV series or a movie next, I will support him with both hands."

With the experience of the last time, fans are more free to speak their mind. They just type what they want to see in the comment section, just in case it comes true.

Tan Yue looked for a while, but still felt that he had no clue. There were all the comments he wanted to see, but there was nothing he wanted.

Thinking about it, knowing too much is not a good thing.

Tan Yue smiled helplessly.

The film issue is very important, but it is not something that can be solved in a hurry.

Tan Yue opened Twitter on his computer and wanted to see the current situation of the foreign film market.

He found a film blogger with many fans on Twitter and read it carefully.

Tan Yue has been following this blogger for some time, and the information is relatively accurate. He analyzes some situations of the film from various aspects such as box office, word of mouth, and market reaction.

There are currently 16 films released simultaneously around the world, two of which are works by internationally renowned directors. After the release, the box office results are not bad, but the word of mouth is very different.

One is a sequel to the previous film, which has been filmed to the seventh part. The plot is clichéd, which is the unanimous evaluation of many foreign netizens on this film. The good box office results are all due to feelings.

The other film is a brand new work that has been polished for three years. It has a strong momentum. This film blogger believes that it is the box office champion this time.

After reading the explanation, Tan Yue had a general understanding of the current situation of the international film market, and then looked at the posts about the film.

"Nowadays, American movies have nothing to offer except for the special effects."

"Why watch American movies? It's better to watch our movies, which are much better."

"What's so good about Indian movies? They're just full of singing and dancing. I hate watching such movies the most."

There were all kinds of things on the posts. Tan Yue felt like a bystander. After browsing a few, he was attracted by a report:

'Columbia Entertainment announced that the filming of "Black Fire" has entered the second half. This is the company's first time to shoot a gangster film. Many fans expressed their great expectations for this movie and wanted to see it as soon as possible. In order to satisfy the fans, the following are the highlights of the filming released by the crew. '

Tan Yue clicked on the video and watched it for a while. It was just some scenes of the crew filming and scenes of actors greeting each other. There wasn't much useful information.

Tan Yue has been filming a TV series some time ago. This is the first time Tan Yue has seen this movie from Columbia Entertainment Company. The specific content is not clear.

He doesn't know, someone must know, and the filming of the movie is already in the late stages.

These people are in the comments section.

"After waiting for a long time, I finally saw new developments. I hope the crew can speed up the progress."

"What's interesting about the behind-the-scenes shooting? Hurry up and make the full movie."

"I heard that Columbia Entertainment is paying great attention to this movie this time and has invited two international superstars to participate in "Black Fire."

"We can say that they are two great male heroes. If they join forces, they will definitely be a hit at the box office. I am very much looking forward to this movie."

Tan Yue didn't pay much attention to these comments, but a comment at the back attracted his attention. It was said by a netizen from Italy: "I want to tell you some bad news. After listening to the director's narration about the movie, , reminds me of a Chinese movie called "Infernal Affairs". I have to say that the two movies are very similar. I will wait for this movie to be released to see what the director of "Infernal Affairs" is. It’s Tan Yue, the director of “Forrest Gump.”

Tan Yue frowned, not knowing whether what the netizen said was true or false, so he began to search for information about "Black Fire" on the Internet. After searching for a long time, he finally found the boot ceremony that the netizen mentioned.

He didn't have time to read it all, so he found the director's introduction to "Black Fire" while constantly fast forwarding, and listened carefully.

"It's exactly what netizens said."

After listening to the director's introduction to "Black Fire", Tan Yue's brows furrowed even more tightly.

He found that "Black Fire" was indeed imitating "Infernal Affairs", but it did not amount to plagiarism to the extent that it was impossible to sue it. It gave him a disgusting feeling like a fly flying into his mouth.

Tan Yue checked some news about "Black Fire" on Twitter, but he never saw comments similar to that of the Italian netizen.

However, it is understandable that "Infernal Affairs" is a Chinese film, and foreign audiences must know very little about it.

Moreover, the two male protagonists for this foreign movie are both international stars and have great influence. The audience's focus will naturally be on their idols.

Tan Yue closed the Twitter interface and was no longer in the mood to continue reading. He originally wanted to know the latest developments in the foreign film market, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing.

The reason is that the influence of Chinese films in the global film market is too small. If the movie "Black Fire" was shot by a domestic director, it would definitely be criticized by fans.

Although it does not constitute plagiarism, as long as the audience has watched it, they will definitely see the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" in "Black Fire".

Now Tan Yue feels more and more how important it is to bring Chinese films to the world.

The situation has already happened and nothing can be changed.

Tan Yue organized his thoughts and continued to think about his next movie. Suddenly, an idea flashed and the name of a movie appeared in his mind.

The movie is called "The Godfather."

This movie is the ancestor of gangster movies on earth. No matter whether it is foreign or domestic, every gangster movie has the shadow of "The Godfather".

Since your foreign entertainment company has shot a new movie imitating "Infernal Affairs" and plans to release it simultaneously around the world, let me let you see what a real gangster movie is. This idea became more and more firm in Tan Yue's mind: If you don't even want to lose face, then I will step on you.

If Columbia Entertainment contacted Tan Yue and offered to buy the remake rights, he would agree. But in the current situation, I will never accept it.

It is easiest for viewers to compare two movies of the same type, and he wants Columbia Entertainment to lose miserably.

Tan Yue is very confident in the movie "The Godfather" because the movie has won many honors on earth. In 1973, the film won the Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay awards at the 45th Academy Awards. It was once selected as the second place in the "Top 100 Films of the Century".

This movie, which was released in the 1970s, has a terrifying rating of 9.3.

"The Godfather" is a trilogy that tells the story of the development of the gangster family headed by Vito Don Corleone and how Corleone's youngest son, Mike, succeeded his father as the gang leader.

Tan Yue wants "The Godfather" to be released together with "Black Fire", and he needs to speed up the filming schedule in the next period of time.

The shooting progress of "Black Fire" has reached an advanced stage, and the shooting progress must be improved while ensuring quality.

Tan Yue leaned on his chair, drank tea, and sorted out the content of the movie in his mind. After a while, I created a folder called "The Godfather" on my computer, created a new "Outline" document, and started writing the general plot of the movie:

"The leader of the Corleone family of the Mafia, Godfather Vito Corleone, held a grand wedding for his youngest daughter Connie. Vito Corleone has three sons, the lustful eldest son Sonny, the cowardly second son Fred and the child from World War II The younger son Mike returned from the war. Among them, Sonny was the godfather's right-hand man; although Mike was smart and capable, he had little interest in the family business.

Vito Corleone is the leader of the Mafia and often does illegal things. But at the same time, he is also the patron saint of many weak civilians and is deeply loved by people. He also has a principle, that is, never sell drugs to harm people. For this reason, he rejected the request of drug lord Sollozzo, and thus intensified the conflict with several other Mafia families in New York.

On Christmas Eve, Sollozzo kidnapped Tom, the godson of the Godfather, and sent someone to assassinate the Godfather. The Godfather was shot and hospitalized. Sollozzo asked Tom to try to make Sonny agree to the drug deal and renegotiate. Sonny was brave but not wise. He vowed to take revenge, but he had no way to do it. "

The sound of typing on the keyboard echoed in the office. During this period, he processed a document and participated in a video conference. The rest of the time, Tan Yue sat in front of the computer and wrote materials about "The Godfather". He stopped typing until the phone made a "buzzing" vibration sound.

Tan Yue answered the phone: "Tzuyu, what's wrong?"

"Are you done with work? It's time to go home."

"I forgot to check the time. "Tan Yue looked at the time on the lower right corner of the computer and saw that it was already past seven o'clock: "Work is done, let's go."

"I'll come to see you."

After putting down the phone, Tan Yue first clicked a few times to save. He felt uncomfortable without saving after working so hard for so long.

After tidying up the documents on the table, Chen Ziyu just pushed the door in: "Have you tidied it?"

"Just in time."

Tan Yue screwed on the cup lid, turned off the lights and closed the door.

The two came to the parking lot, Tan Yue sat in the driver's seat, Chen Ziyu sat in the passenger seat, and drove towards the direction of Ruishan Community.

There were still many cars on the road at this time, and they drove slowly with the traffic.

"How was today's regular meeting?"

"There are no problems in each department, everything is normal."

Chen Ziyu leaned on the passenger seat and said: "It's good that the company can keep the current state."

Tan Yue looked at the road conditions and shook his head: "We still have to move forward and let foreigners know the name of our company."

"Then you are too hard. "If she wants to develop steadily in the international entertainment industry, she can be Tan Yue's strong backing, but many things have to rely on Tan Yue. Thinking of such a heavy burden on Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu felt very distressed.

"As long as the company can have a good development, it doesn't matter if it's a little hard."

The car stopped at the traffic light, and Tan Yue said: "I already have an idea for the new movie."

"Really?" Chen Ziyu looked surprised and surprised.

Tan Yue nodded: "Of course it's true, this movie will also be released simultaneously around the world."

Chen Ziyu didn't ask much about the details of the movie. With trust, there was no need to ask more.
