Chapter 792 "Infernal Affairs"

Beijing.

General Administration of Culture.

After Ye Wen came to the office, she saw that the potted plants on the windowsill had regained their vitality.

She picked up the spray bottle beside her and watered them carefully.

Flowers, like women, need regular maintenance.

When Ye Wen was young, she was a workaholic and never paid much attention to maintenance.

As she aged, her body functions began to decline. Some diseases caused by excessive fatigue gradually emerged, and her skin lost its luster.

Especially recently, she felt backache after working for a while, and Ye Wen felt that she was really old.

When she was resting at home recently, she often discussed maintenance with her daughter Chen Ye.

The potted plants after spraying water were crystal clear in the sun. Ye Wen leaned over, her nose close to the flowers, and a faint fragrance came over her. She whispered: "Maybe this is the real fun of growing flowers."

When she was in a good mood, she was naturally energetic. Ye Wen sat at her desk contentedly and began to process documents.

The office was so quiet that one could even hear the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

This is the best state for work, with a calm mind and full concentration.

Not long after, the secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Director Ye, it's time for the meeting."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

The plan of the General Administration of Culture to support the development of film is still continuing, and the meetings held during this period are basically based on this theme.

Ye Wen hopes to see the domestic film market flourish as soon as possible, but she also knows that this is not something that can be solved in a hurry.

Supporting the development of film is a protracted war and cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Putting down the documents in her hand, Ye Wen picked up her notebook in the folder and went to the meeting room.

The categories of movies can be said to be varied, and the development of each type of movie is different.

Today's meeting mainly discussed supporting the development of small-scale movies.

Martial arts action movies were the mainstream of the film market 20 years ago, but now they have declined to the point that no director is willing to touch them. Now they are also a type of small-scale movie themes.

However.

"Kung Fu" is a big hit in the film market, and its box office has broken the highest box office record of Chinese movies.

Martial arts action movies have once again returned to the public eye, giving some directors hope.

Through the efforts of the General Administration of Culture, many veteran martial arts action movie directors feel that they can give it a try.

After all, this type of movie also represents an era, and there is a bit of sentiment in it.

Martial arts action movies are gradually picking up.

In today's technologically advanced era, many people think that science fiction movies are a kind of popular movie.

However, the General Administration of Culture also classifies science fiction as a small-scale movie.

The reason why domestic science fiction movies are so popular is that they are influenced by foreign science fiction movies and have nothing to do with domestic movies.

There is no way, this is the current domestic movie.

Due to various factors, domestic movies just can't produce the effect of foreign blockbusters.

To date, there are only one or two science fiction movies that domestic movies can really show off.

There was not much discussion about supporting the development of science fiction movies at the meeting because of Sun Daohao's "Dark Forest".

Although it has not been released yet, it is known that there is a high probability that there will be no problem with the box office.

The discussion at the meeting mainly focused on spy movies, police and gangster movies, road movies, and fantasy movies.

These types of film themes all need high-quality fresh blood to bring vitality.

After the discussion.

Ye Wen's brain is particularly clear today, and her thoughts are very clear.

Looking at her notes, she concluded: "The first step is to announce these four types of movies online through the official website after the meeting, so that entertainment companies, directors, screenwriters, and actors know the main goals of the next support."

"The second step is to notify the heads of various entertainment companies and ask them to come to the General Administration of Culture for a meeting. At that time, I hope they will try their best to shoot high-quality small-category movies. The support plan given by our General Administration of Culture is to give the green light and a large amount of resources on the premise of ensuring quality."

Ye Wen paused: "What do you think of this plan?"

Some of the other senior executives in the meeting room nodded, and some were thinking.

After a few seconds, Ye Wen saw that no one objected, and said: "Okay, let's do it according to this plan first. If you encounter any problems in the middle, report to me as soon as possible, and adjourn the meeting."

The meeting ended and returned to the office.

Ye Wen picked up the cup and drank it all. When she went to the meeting, she was thinking about the support plan and forgot to take the cup.

I was a little dry after saying so much in the meeting.

Then Ye Wen leaned back in her chair, thinking again and again in her mind, are there any other plans to develop small-scale movies?

"It would be great if every type of movie could have a movie like "Kung Fu"!" Ye Wen put down the cup and couldn't help sighing.

The support plan that Ye Wen mentioned at the meeting is already the maximum support given by the General Administration of Culture.

As for whether the support can be successful?

In the end, it depends on the quality of the movie itself and whether it can be accepted by the audience.

Ye Wen filled her cup with water, stretched her body, and continued to work to prepare for the next meeting.

The official website of the General Administration of Culture announced the news as soon as possible according to what Ye Wen said.

Once released, it was discussed by many netizens.

"I understand that road movies and fantasy movies are classified as small-category movies. The development of these two types of movies has never been good. I didn't expect that the police and gangster movies that I used to love to watch were also small-category movies. I'm so sad."

"Brother upstairs, you are disconnected from the Internet, right? Have you seen any good police and gangster movies in recent years?"

"This type of small-category movie is the most difficult to make. If it is not made well, the box office will definitely fail."

"I have paid attention to the official website of the General Administration of Culture before. Martial arts action movies are also one of them. Now they have been kicked out. It should be the influence of "Kung Fu". Now many directors may be following the trend and looking forward to it."

"Domestic science fiction themes should also be one of them."

"The Dark Forest directed by Sun Daohao is a science fiction movie. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I wonder when it will be released?"

Beijing.

Brilliant Entertainment Company.

Since arriving at the company in the morning, Tan Yue has been writing the script.

Looking at the time, I found that two hours have passed.

Tan Yue looked at the official website of the General Administration of Culture during his break.

The important trends in the entertainment industry can only be seen at the General Administration of Culture.

As the vice president of Brilliant Entertainment, of course, he needs to pay attention all the time.

Tan Yue saw the latest policy of the General Administration of Culture to support the development of small-scale movies, and he had some ideas in his mind.

He has no plans for his next movie yet, but he can choose one from them.

While thinking, his fingers tapped lightly on the table. According to the four small-scale movies announced, Tan Yue began to brainstorm.

The phone that tapped the table suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the police and gangster movies.

"Infernal Affairs!"

Tan Yue remembered such a movie.

As a police and gangster movie, it is called a classic by countless audiences.

The "Infernal Affairs" in the title "Infernal Affairs" means "Infernal Hell".

The film uses "Infernal Affairs" as the title, implying that the two identities of people who should not belong to themselves are almost living in an environment similar to Infernal Hell, and they are afraid that others will expose their identities even in their dreams.

There is no reincarnation in the hell of hell, only eternal suffering, but the two protagonists in the film are seeking reincarnation

"Infernal Affairs" mainly expresses the relationship between people, so the director did not make a lot of mysterious things.

The plot is very simple. The film tells the story of two men with confused identities, who are undercovers of the police and the underworld respectively. After a fierce fight, they are determined to find their own stories.

Tan Yue didn't know how many times he had watched this movie, and the plot soon appeared in his mind.

"Infernal Affairs" has won the Best Film Award at the Film Awards, the Best Film Award at the Golden Horse Awards, and other awards. One of the leading actors, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, won the Best Actor Award at the Film Awards for this film.

Until now, it can still be said to be the pinnacle of police and gangster films, and many people will revisit it from time to time.

At the same time, the film has another identity, and it is also called the savior of Hong Kong films.

At that time, the entire Hong Kong film industry was in a downturn and lost its influence. Almost every film was dead, and the box office was not ideal.

When the investors saw that the money invested in the film exceeded expectations, they began to hesitate.

The person in charge believes that although investing in this film involves certain risks, this is the only way to save the depressed market for the film.

"Infernal Affairs" lived up to expectations and became the box office champion of Hong Kong films that year after its release. It was also remade in many countries, which is enough to show the influence of the film.

With the current financial resources of Brilliant Entertainment, Tan Yue will not worry about the problem of funds.

Under such good conditions, he is confident that he can make the film better.

Without any hesitation, Tan Yue immediately decided to shoot "Infernal Affairs" for the next film and created a new folder named "Infernal Affairs" on the computer.

Thinking of this movie, there is a feeling of being unsatisfied, and I can't help but want to watch it again now.

"Infernal Affairs" also has many famous scenes, especially the scene where the two protagonists stand on the rooftop, which is impressive.

After the file was successfully created, Tan Yue did not rush to write it.

The character biographies of "Nirvana in Fire" were completed yesterday, and the script was started today.

The tasks still need to be completed one by one.

The simultaneous development of two scripts may cause confusion of the characters.

Tan Yue picked up the cup, savored the tea that Chen Ziyu had just bought for him, and nodded gently: "It tastes good."

Stretched himself, and then continued to write the script.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Brilliant Entertainment Company.

CEO's Office.

Tan Yue fiddled with the massager in his hand, and felt that this thing was designed so well.

"Dongdongdong."

"Come in." Tan Yue put down the massager in his hand and saw that it was Chen Ziyu who pushed the door in.

"Ayue, I have to go to the General Administration of Culture for a meeting today. If you come back late at noon, you can go to eat by yourself." Chen Ziyu was holding a bag in his hand, and his assistant was holding a folder and went to the underground parking lot.

"Is it related to supporting the development of small-category movies?"

When Tan Yue heard about the General Administration of Culture, he remembered the latest support plan released on the official website.

"Yes, all entertainment companies must send people." Chen Ziyu raised his wrist and waved his watch: "Ayue, I'm leaving first."

"Be careful on the road."

"I know." Chen Ziyu had already closed the door and left.

Tan Yue twisted his neck, put on the massager, and moved his fingers.

“The script for Nirvana in Fire is about to be finished.”

For a week, Tan Yue came to the company in the morning and started writing the script. Except for some documents that needed to be signed, no one came to disturb him.

He also gets off work two hours late in the evening, and even takes an hour or two to write scripts after dinner at home.

Tan Yue worked so hard, so naturally Chen Ziyu couldn't help but express some concern.

With thirteen or fourteen hours of work every day, the script of "Nirvana in Fire" still has a few finishing touches to finish, and it's all ready to be completed.

In the office, Tan Yue typed quickly on the keyboard alone.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Tan Yue stared at the computer screen, took his fingers off the keyboard, and took a deep breath.

The script of "Nirvana in Fire" is finally completed.

Tan Yue was not in a hurry to hand over the script to Qian Tao.

With such a long script, mistakes are inevitable. He plans to check it himself from beginning to end, and then hand it over to the TV drama department after confirming that there are no problems.

Tan Yue took a break for more than ten minutes while receiving water, sat back in front of the computer, and began to think about "Infernal Affairs".

Now that the script of "Nirvana in Fire" is completed, the next step is the new movie that fans are looking forward to.

Before lunch, Chen Ziyu happened to return to the company and came to Tan Yue's office immediately.

"How was the meeting?" Tan Yue asked.

“The General Administration of Culture has issued several policies to support the development of sketch films.”

Tan Yue nodded. Ye Wen had mentioned this before when she came to see him.

After hearing what Chen Ziyu said about the enhanced support policy, Tan Yue learned about Ye Wen's determination.

Chen Ziyu said with a smile: "Director Ye praised our company by name at the meeting today, and asked other entertainment companies to learn from us."

Recalling the scene at that time, Chen Ziyu couldn't help but smile.

The heads of all the entertainment companies in the country were present, and it was really proud to be named and praised.

"Is it because of "Kung Fu"?"

"Now I suspect that you also went to the meeting." Chen Ziyu said with a smile: "The success of "Kung Fu" has given rise to an improvement in martial arts action movies, and many directors are preparing to follow suit and make new movies."

"Ye Ju said that now sketchy movies need such high-quality movies to help. He hopes that all major entertainment companies can make movies like "Kung Fu"."

Tan Yue knows the current market environment very well.

Without the excitement of a high-grossing movie, it is unlikely that an entertainment company would spend money to make a type of movie that is not very popular in the market.

And this time with the support of relevant policies, many entertainment companies may be tempted.

But in the end, if you want a niche movie to be loved by the public, you still need a movie with good reputation and box office performance.
