Chapter 605 I'm Familiar with This Job
Chen Qi reached into the water and stirred it.
He did not delay deliberately. On the first day of his trip to Hong Kong, he accepted an interview with China Youth Daily and said: "It was a complete misunderstanding. I just heard that CCTV was going to make a TV series and thought of the movie, so I wrote an article.
Dongfang Company was busy with business and had no time to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions". This would take at least 3-5 years, extremely detailed preparation and patience. Only a few large studios have the strength to do it, and we can't do it."
He waved his sleeves and left, leaving a lot of barking.
Wang Fulin was frightened to death by Chen Qi, but fortunately he didn't shoot. Director Wang is a very introverted person, and he secretly made up his mind to make the TV series well.
Let's talk about Beijing Film Studio.
Wang Yang's retirement day is getting closer and closer, and he won't be here for a few months.
The old man walks around the factory with his hands behind his back every day, looking here and there, but rarely makes specific decisions, especially long-term things. He has made the final decision now, and he doesn't know what will happen when the new director takes office.
But today, he convened a meeting of the factory leaders to discuss the issue of "Dream of Red Mansions".
"The factory has long had the intention to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions". After several discussions, it is unanimous that it should be filmed. The key is whether it should be filmed by our generation or by the next generation.
Because there is no final conclusion, "Dream of Red Mansions" has been shelved. Everyone knows about the recent excitement..."
As soon as Wang Yang said this, Zhang Erzan asked: "Where is Xiao Chen now?"
"He went to Hong Kong again!"
"He ran away after he got involved?"
"That kid is just like that. He wants to get involved in everything he sees. Okay, we won't talk about him!"
Wang Yang continued: "Although Dongfang Company He said that he would not film "Dream of Red Mansions", but I think it also sounded a wake-up call for us. The literary and art circles all know that "Dream of Red Mansions" is difficult. If you don't dare, I don't dare, so when can we see a real "Dream of Red Mansions" movie?
Really leave it to the next generation to film? Then how will the future generations see us? "
"So you support filming?"
"My personal attitude is that "Dream of Red Mansions" must be filmed, and it will be filmed by our Beijing Film Studio!"
"..."
Zhang Erzan paused and said: "Old Wang, I'm telling you the truth. You have made the final decision now, and Hu Qiming will come up, There may be different opinions. Besides, the preparation of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a long job, so we can't rush it.
We can find some Redologists to discuss and study the script first, which doesn't cost much. When everyone is gathered, we can discuss and decide whether to shoot it or not? "
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"We also want to shoot it. Everyone wants to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", but there are too many problems. It's best to unify opinions and not be divided internally."
"You can discuss with Redologists first..."
Wang Yang nodded, and then said: "The shooting period of "Dream of Red Mansions" must be very long. The factory The big directors are old and may not be able to support it. Xie Tieli is still young. If he wants to shoot, I support him to be the director. "
"Well, Xie Tieli can do it!"
"He is only 59 years old and is in the peak of his creative period!"
"If "Dream of Red Mansions" is really shot well, it will definitely be a pearl in the crown of Beijing Film Studio!"
Everyone got excited as they talked. Those who make movies are all literary and artistic. "Dream of Red Mansions" has a special status in their hearts. Even if they have not seen it, they still look up to it, unlike Li Shaohong...
Chen Qi occupied the land of Rongning Mansion, and was afraid that Beijing Film Studio would not shoot it.
Now that several people have reached a preliminary agreement, the tendency to shoot is very strong.
………………
Last year's Hong Kong film industry.
"The Lucky Stars" took 23 million box office, and Cheng Long's "Project A" took 19.23 million, but this film took 2 billion box office in Japan, officially establishing Cheng Long's superstar status.
Six films of the leftist made it into the top ten, which is even more powerful than the year before.
Needless to say, Cinema City, Mai Jia and Shi Tian's films were all flops. Only Huang Baiming made "The Wrong Kind of Person" under the Cinema City brand, which grossed over 10 million yuan, but it didn't make it into the top ten.
The other two spots are "ET the Alien" and "Seven Days of Love" from Legendary Pictures.
At the beginning of this year, Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" won the Spring Festival championship with 19 million yuan, and the rest are not mentioned in detail.
This year, the left-wing film list mainly includes "Working Emperor", "Mirage", "Happy Ghost 2", "The Express", "New Policewoman", and a Christmas blockbuster prepared by Chen Qi.
Legendary Pictures has "Mr. Vampire" and "The Wrong Car".
Chen Qi's work in recent years has not been in vain. He has recruited a lot of talents to help him solve problems. He doesn't have to do everything himself in the film industry, and he only makes his own key films every year.
His two major goals this year:
Completely kill Cinema City and disintegrate Princess Gold!
Let freedom always end!
…
Clearwater Bay Studios.
Chen Qi called Zhuang Cheng as soon as he came back to ask about the two dramas. While they were talking, Shi Nansheng rushed in: "Why haven't you found an assistant yet? There are your things!"
She put a box down and left in a hurry.
Chen Qi opened it casually, wow!
He said a few words in a hurry and hung up the phone.
There was a vinyl record and a tape in the box. The cover of both of them was a pure girl with short hair, wearing a white skirt and swinging on a swing. It was Priscilla Chan. There was another line of words printed: Everyone has a dream!
This was Priscilla Chan's first album.
When Hong Kong releases an album, it is always released with vinyl and tape.
Chen Qi did not listen to the song immediately, but called Liang Dexian of Gold Medal Records and asked: "I received the album, when will it be released? Next week, I will be back in time. Are there any promotional activities?"
"Promotion for singers is not as complicated as for movies. It mainly relies on TV, radio, and on-site autograph signings. You know TV better than I do. Radio relies on fans' demand."
"Tell me carefully!"
Liang Dexian Balabala said something to the effect that the new album will be promoted on the radio. The radio station will judge the popularity of the song based on the number of listeners' requests and feedback. If the popularity is high, the radio station will take the initiative to recommend it.
If the popularity is very high, then Radio Television Hong Kong has a selection called "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs", which is the most authoritative music award in Hong Kong. If you can be selected among them, it proves that the singer is indeed popular.
"Is it evaluated once a year?"
"Yes, the awards are given out in January every year, and this year's has ended."
"What are the rules?"
"Well, it has a very complicated selection process, with weekly..."
Liang Dexian kept talking, Chen Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he slapped the table. It's so complicated, isn't it just for rankings!
In an instant, it dawned on him that this was a familiar job!
"We will study it in detail, but you should stay put for now. By the way, where are the albums of Zhang Xueyou, Lin Yilian, and Huang Kaiqin?"
"It is also being produced. Priscilla Chan will be given priority as you ordered. In fact, TVB also has a Golden Melody Award, but Priscilla Chan debuted on ATV. Unless she formally signs a singer contract with TVB, she won't be able to get on TVB."
"Yes, I understand. I will go find you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi walked around the room and suddenly felt happy: It is so wise to open the fans club first! This comes in handy.
(No more...)
