Chapter 903 Commercial Film Support Plan Announced! Wang Baoqiang Also Wants to Cross over to Become a Director?

At 8pm on the 24th, the TV series "Dear Translator" starring Yang Mi, Huang Xuan and Gao Weiguang was officially launched.

Chen Fei is not really interested in this kind of TV series. In comparison, he still likes comic adaptations or power struggle dramas.

However, Miss Liu was very enthusiastic and said that she wanted to watch this recently popular TV series.

"I was disgusted by "Chinese Paladin 5" last night. I heard that this drama is very good and it can be used to cleanse my eyes."

What can Chen Fei do with his girlfriend?

He had to spoil her.

However, it would be better if they didn't watch it... After watching it, the two were disappointed!

"What's wrong with Yang Mi's acting skills and her face? Why is she completely different from the original? The change is so big!"

Chen Fei frowned and stared at it for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

"It should be a minor adjustment. The line of the chin is rounder than before, but the overall change is not big."

"Minor adjustment?" Liu Yifei's voice unconsciously rose a little: "By doing this, isn't she worried about not having big-screen movie resources?"

"No." Chen Fei tried to analyze from an objective perspective: "According to her current fame, she will definitely not lack movie resources, but at best she can only act in some IP-type movies, and forget about big productions."

While talking, he observed Yang Mi's acting skills.

Unfortunately, compared with the first filming of "Love in Seattle", her acting skills have deteriorated greatly.

Of course, this may also be because she has been filming and it is difficult to get into the state.

After watching for a while, Liu Yifei lost interest and simply turned off the TV and turned on Youku to watch "The Undocumented Crime".

In comparison, the drama "The Undocumented Crime" is much better than "Chinese Paladin 5" and "Dear Translator"!

The only regret is that this web drama has only 12 episodes, which is not enough to watch.

"If there is a chance, let's also shoot a TV series, how about it?"

Liu Yifei's sudden words made Chen Fei slightly stunned.

Then, he smiled: "Okay, when I am really free, I will write a TV series script for you, and we can go and have fun together."

"Yeah, it's a deal! Don't forget it."

"Don't worry, I will never forget it."

...

Affected by the negative reviews of "Chinese Paladin 5" and the attacks of the Internet trolls, the ratings of "Dear Translator" on the second day after its launch were also not particularly high.

The overall rating on Maoyan is only 7 points, and most of the comments are negative.

"Two brothers from the same family who are not related by blood, they are always dealing with two women, all four of them have been together, and the female lead has a brain tumor like in a Korean drama, oh my god, it's so bloody!"

"I feel that Yang Mi's acting skills have deteriorated a lot, and the characters in the TV series have serious flaws, and the plot is even more unbearable."

"Although the plot has contributed several pairs of eye-catching couples, they are beautiful in gorgeous clothes, but the fact that the filtered pictures cannot hide is that there is no spark in their eyebrows and eyes. It can be seen that they did not study the story and the script carefully..."

On Jiaxing, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia no longer have the smiles they had last night.

"Mi Mi, don't worry too much. Although the online ratings are not very high, these can be brushed up. At least our ratings are still very good, aren't they?"

Yang Mi nodded gently, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.

The TV series has been released, and she has done all the necessary publicity. The follow-up is a matter for the platform and public relations, so she will not get involved.

In her opinion, as long as it is not worse than "Chinese Paladin 5", it will be fine.

The former only has a Maoyan score of 4.9, which is even worse than "The Interpreter".

She has succeeded in picking the tallest among the short ones.

"I will not take care of the rest. The water army and marketing are all left to you. I will follow up on the promotion of "Reverse Time Rescue" with Huo Jianhua, Jin Shijie and others."

"Okay." Zeng Jia nodded gently, but the next second she suddenly remembered something: "By the way! Mimi, there is something I need to tell you."

"What?" Yang Mi, who was about to go out, stopped and looked over curiously.

"Yaolai Pictures said that they will join hands with New Clue Films to take this film to film festivals such as Houston and Toronto to win awards. We hope that we can fully cooperate."

"Houston? Toronto?"

Yang Mi immediately became interested, but soon a hint of doubt appeared on her face: "How to do it specifically? Going abroad to win awards requires a lot of time and energy. Can it succeed?"

"Don't worry about that!"

Zeng Jia said confidently: "Have you forgotten who the chairman of Yaolai Pictures is? Chen Long's influence abroad is beyond your imagination. If he wants to win an award, there are still many people willing to give him this face."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was delighted and asked quickly: "Can you get me a Best Actress award?"

"Best Actress? I have to discuss this with them, and it may cost some money."

"Things that can be solved with money are not a problem. The influence brought by a Best Actress is not comparable to short-term benefits." Yang Mi's mind turned very quickly at this time, as if she was strategizing.

"What you said makes sense. If you can win an award or something, it will help your reputation and salary..."

Zeng Jia muttered to herself for a while, and then came to a conclusion: "You go and do your work first. I will communicate with Yaolai and try to get a movie queen back for you!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she walked out quickly.

She has quite a lot of arrangements for the afternoon. She has several activities to catch up on, and she doesn't dare to delay them for a moment.

…

In a blink of an eye, another new day has arrived.

Early in the morning, several news about movie schedules suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"LeTV Pictures has announced that the action and comedy-themed movie "The Bounty Hunter" directed by Shin Tae-rok and starring Lee Min Ho, Chung Han-liang, and Tang Yan will be officially announced to be released on July 1st and will participate in the summer film competition!"

"The Hollywood imported action blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" will be released on July 2, and the mainland distributor is Alibaba Pictures."

"Tangde Films announced: The action and comedy blockbuster "The Runaway" directed by Renny Harlin and starring Chen Long, Fan Bingbing, Eve Torres, Johnny Nashville and others has been announced to be released on July 21. Will participate in the summer vacation competition..."

Three movies in a row have been announced for summer release at the same time, and they are also a combination of Chinese movies + imported Hollywood blockbusters + Chinese and foreign co-productions!

For a time, many small and medium-sized film companies in the country were in trouble!

This year was already miserable enough. May and June were dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. Now even the competition in July is so fierce. How can people survive?

Many people now inexplicably began to miss the time when Han Sanping was in power.

I think back then, in order to give those small and medium-sized film companies a chance to "survive", Mr. San even created an original "protection period for domestic films."

All imported films, no matter which company they are from, will be thrown into a fight on the same day, obviously causing both sides to suffer losses, thereby trying to get the domestic films to be scheduled.

The best "practical case" is "Batman vs. Spider-Man". At that time, it was "astonishing" for the two major circles in the Mainland and Hollywood to watch!

But now that La Shekang has taken over, although he is also fighting for opportunities for Chinese-language films, his methods are inexplicably much softer.

And this also leads to the fact that many low-cost Chinese-language films cannot withstand the siege of Hollywood blockbusters, and their deaths should not be too miserable!

Just like a movie like "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", if the producer hadn't begged to schedule the film, I'm afraid it wouldn't have even been able to get 10 million at the box office, let alone the current 100 million.

Of course, this kind of dilemma that only belongs to small and medium-sized film companies does not appear to Chen Fei.

Because the movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television have never been afraid of imported Hollywood blockbusters, and he has chosen to resist them not once or twice, so he doesn't care much about China Film's productions at all.

As long as you make sure your movies don't kill each other, that's enough.

"Has the announcement been sent out?" At this time, on the set of "La La Land", Ning Hao, who flew from the capital to Hengdian, was looking at Chen Fei's laptop screen with interest, looking like a curious baby.

Chen Fei replied without looking back: "Sent it out, just wait, you will be busy next."

"Haha!" Ning Hao was overjoyed: "It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy. It's boring to stay at home anyway, so it's better to go out for a walk more often."

"You! You need to exercise more and exercise more..."

"Let's not talk about this. I bought several beautiful gold chains in Cannes. Do you want to choose one and wear it? They are very handsome!"

"I don't wear it. Has no one complained to you? You look like a gangster wearing that gold chain..."

The two of them were chatting on the set, but at this moment, the Internet was already boiling like boiling water!

“Reprinted from Feiyue Film and Television’s latest announcement:

According to the decision of Chen Fei, chairman of Feiyue Film and Television, from now on, Feiyue Film and Television will create a policy called the ‘Commercial Film Support Plan’;

This policy will be applicable to the entire film and television industry. The specific contents are:

Our company welcomes directors and screenwriters with creative abilities to come to the company to submit their own works. As long as your scripts, projects, and ideas can pass our company's review, then our company will provide money, resources, people, and equipment... Help you fulfill your dream of directing and putting your work on the big screen.

We welcome talented, capable and courageous people to come to discuss cooperation and submit manuscripts. Whatever you lack, Feiyue Film and Television can help you raise it and help you realize your wish.

This support plan will be led and personally approved by Director Chen Fei, the chairman of our company, a three-time European Grand Slam director, a four-time Oscar winner for Best Picture, the global box office holder of commercial films, and the record holder of the highest box office for Chinese-language films. manuscript.

At the same time, director Ning Hao, who has won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and a member of the Directors Club with a domestic box office of 2 billion, will be responsible for producing and guiding the filming step by step..."

Commercial film support program?

Full support from Feiyue Film and Television?

Chen Fei is responsible for reviewing and approving manuscripts?

Ning Hao is responsible for producing and directing?

At this moment, seeing this announcement, the entire film and television industry was completely shocked!

Looking around, most directors and screenwriters with backgrounds, resources, and backing are not very interested in this "commercial film support plan."

After watching the film, these people can only sigh that Feiyue Film and Television is really awesome, rich, and powerful.

But those who are frustrated, lack resources, have no background, have failed to find investment, and hope to cross over to become directors are all excited!

Especially those graduates from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy, etc., who have already started to cheer!

Every year, there are at least hundreds of people graduating from the directing department of major art colleges, but most of them can't find the opportunity to direct.

Looking around, most people either go to shoot MVs, or go to shoot commercials, or simply "go into the sea".

There is no shortage of capable people among these people, and some even have good creative abilities, but because they have no background, they can only choose to accept their fate.

But now, with the "Commercial Film Support Plan" announced by Chen Fei, everyone seems to have seen hope!

You know, the "New Art Film Recovery Plan" previously founded by Chen Fei, Jia Zhangke and Pan Asia Cinema Line has cultivated many excellent art film directors.

Now, following the "Art Film Recovery Plan", the "Commercial Film Support Plan" has also made its grand debut, which is obviously aimed at discovering talents!

The Internet has already started to discuss:

"Director Chen is so damn handsome. This gives us 'common' directors a chance to rise!"

"Brothers, just go for it! Send the scripts quickly if you have them. Even if we don't get selected, it's our honor to be noticed by Director Chen!"

"This may be the only chance for ordinary directing graduates to rise."

"Fuck, I was ready to go to the entertainment industry for a few years, but I didn't expect there would be such a commercial film support plan. I finally have a chance!"

"Fuck, shouldn't this kind of film support plan be the responsibility of Beijing Film Academy? When I was shooting my graduation drama, they gave me 10,000 yuan, which almost made me sick to death."

"You actually still believe those people in the school? Haha, they would rather invest in "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry" than give us a penny."

Along with the heated discussions on the Internet, major investors in the circle are also discussing.

"I'm very curious now, what is his purpose in doing this? To do good things? To train new people? Or to cast a wide net? To find real talents?"

"Maybe all of them... Once this operation is launched, there will definitely be a lot of people going, maybe we will find a good horse."

"Then why don't we learn and give it a try?"

"It's meaningless. We can't compete with Feiyue Film and Television. They are rich and don't care if they lose, but we can't afford to gamble. What's more, the reputation of Chen Fei and Ning Hao is the fundamental attraction. Who else has the confidence to ensure that the movies they direct can make money?"

"Ali doesn't follow this. We take the big IP route, which is fundamentally different from them."

...

For a whole afternoon, when Chen Fei was busy filming, Ning Hao stayed in front of the computer for several hours.

It was not until the evening, when the filming of "La La Land" was finished today, that he came to Chen Fei excitedly with the computer.

"You're right, there are indeed many talents that are drowned out..."

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked over curiously: "Are there any good stories?"

"Yes, look at this." Chen Fei pointed to the computer screen and introduced: "I think this script is quite good. It is set in a music college and tells the story of a nervous girl Chen Jing and her male best friend "Youzha", as well as a group of girls who love folk music, who form a national instrument band to fight against a Western band and gain youth and friendship.

There is also a documentary director named Guo Ke, who wants to film the story of Chinese women who were forced to serve as "comfort women" during the Anti-Japanese War. I think it's also quite good."

While listening to Ning Hao's words, Chen Fei scanned the screen.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and said: "The story is indeed well written. You can try to contact them. It seems that the investment is not too large. Support them if you can."

"Well, okay."

As the two were talking, Chen Fei's phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he casually pressed the answer button and asked, "Hello? Baoqiang? What's up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baoqiang on the other end of the phone asked cautiously, "Director Chen, can I participate in your commercial film support plan?"

"Yes! Anyone can, as long as..."

As he was speaking, Chen Fei's tone suddenly paused, and he was quite surprised: "You mean, you also want to try to be a director?!"

"Yes." Wang Baoqiang's honest laughter came from the phone: "I opened a studio, so in addition to filming and running promotional activities, I suddenly have a lot of free time.

Then some time ago, I watched a lot of movies I played in the past, and I was quite interested in "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand", so I tried to write a story myself."

"Continue the '囧' series?" Chen Fei asked uncertainly, and he was already surprised in his heart.

"Yes." Wang Baoqiang said embarrassedly: "It mainly describes a series of stories that happened in Hong Kong. I don't know if what I wrote is good enough."

Fai Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed his shock: "Send me the script. You should know my email address, right? Send it to me and I'll take a look at it for you first."

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Baoqiang's throat rolled, unable to hide his excitement and excitement.

Tong Liya, who was sitting next to him, had just listened to the whole conversation between the two, and now her face was also full of smiles.

Seeing that Wang Baoqiang was still in a daze, she hurriedly urged: "Don't be stupid, send the script to Director Chen quickly, if he likes it, you can become a director!"

"Hehe." Wang Baoqiang smiled foolishly and responded: "Okay, I'll send it to Director Chen right away."

While talking, a script titled "Hong Kong囧" was extracted from the document by Wang Baoqiang and forwarded directly to Fei Chen.
