Is it funny to say that Jia Zhangke's achievements and influence are far less than his achievements? Chen Guo has always won the Golden Horse and Golden Elephant awards, right? And what about Jia? Check out Young Global Leaders in Davos! As a Chinese, he also received the officer-level honor of the French Order of Letters and Arts, the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival, the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival, the Golden Leopard Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Locarno International Film Festival, the "Golden Carriage Award" for Lifetime Achievement in the Directors' Fortnight of the Cannes International Film Festival, the Best Director at the Asian Film Awards, the "Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award" at the Bombay International Film Festival, the "Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award" at the Cairo International Film Festival, the Best Director of the New Century Decade at the Toronto Film Archive, and the "Top Ten Asian Directors in History" at the Busan International Film Festival. , Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Best Cinematography Award, French Film Critics Association Best Foreign Language Film, Toronto Film Critics Association Best Foreign Language Film!

How could a niche movie like "The Birth of a Prefix", which is a favorite of film critics and flopped at the box office, be suitable for entrepreneurs, and still take this type of film and cooperate with Yongsheng, who only pursues making money? This is not nonsense. Previously, the main character, Shu's 'King of Box Office', and the first two parts of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were both set at 30 million+. Now how do you want to set it? "The Birth of a Prefix", which is not YY, is set to have a box office of 20 or 30 million! Don't make the author "tall and handsome" and make all the films he makes become hits, even if they are niche films that are obviously popular on the market and become hits. This kind of setting is the most boring. Even if you really want to win awards and engage in "artistic" work, you have to wait until the company makes a lot of money, right?

Let's write some emotional scenes, it's boring to film all the time. . Finally, don't have a single female protagonist. Many entertainment stories have a single female protagonist and are boring. Don't be a stud, it's best to have a few relationships.

Since the 1970s, after gradually establishing his position as the "overlord" of the Hong Kong film industry, he has become more and more domineering and arrogant! It can be said that in the history of Jiahe, except for Jackie Chan, Wu Siyuan (who was smooth, well-connected, and knew how to advance and retreat), and Yongsheng (who did not dare to go too far), Bruce Lee died early (hard to say), and there were almost no "good deaths". First, Wong Jing submitted a script to retaliate (this was also the source of the later feud between Wong Jing and Golden Harvest. When Wong Jing became prosperous in Yongsheng and established his position in the Hong Kong film industry, he mocked Golden Harvest many times), delayed the seizure of box office shares from satellite companies and independent film production companies, and annexed a large portion of the overseas box office of the movie in various names. He even made an effort for Golden Harvest. The Hui brothers and Sammo Hung who have made great contributions are not excluded... The so-called satellite companies' enjoyment of dividends is only superficial. The local box office Golden Harvest may share the profits, but in terms of overseas sharing, Golden Harvest's small tricks are disgusting. They annex overseas dividends on various false accounts. The most "classic" case is the Hui brothers and Sammo Hung. The former was dragged by Jiahe while dragging Hui's Film Company to pay out a large amount of dividends, and at the same time instigating internal conflicts within the company. It was not until Mai Jia poached Xu Guanjie that Jiahe found a reason to deal a fatal blow to Xu's Film Company, stealing all the dividends from Mo and poaching a large number of core figures. The vitality of Xu's Film Company was severely damaged, Xu Guanwen was deeply hit, and a generation of "comedy masters" became disheartened and gradually faded out of the entertainment industry! If Dickson Poon hadn't invested a lot of money to invite Xu Guanwen to come out, Xu Guanwen might have been working behind the scenes full-time by now; as for Sammo Hung, let's not talk about other things, he is still very loyal and repaying kindness. When he was down and out, he has always been grateful to He Guanchang for lending money. In addition, due to the popularity of his younger brother Jackie Chan in Golden Harvest, even though he has been detained for dividends, he has not had a falling out, even if there was a dividend for "Food Truck" The incident did not completely break up: the budget of "Fast Food Truck" was 8 million, but the funds were spent too quickly during filming. Zou Wenhuai took the opportunity to invest 3 million. With his identity as the boss of Jiahe, he immediately controlled the crew, replaced Hong Jinbao as the producer, and placed the copyright of "Fast Food Truck" in Jiahe's name. After some tricks, the 8 million invested by Hong Jinbao was in vain, leaving only the identity of director and starring! The film was released in Jiahe and sold 21.46 Million yuan. It sold more than 70 million yuan in other places, with a total box office of nearly 100 million yuan. Hong Jinbao, as the largest investor, did not receive any money! At most, they opened Debao and started anew, abandoning Golden Harvest. Sammo Hung, Eric Tsang, and Mai Jia and others jointly pitched "The Best Lucky Star", but they were finally persuaded to release it in Golden Harvest. The result was a scene that caused a lot of commotion later. The box office was a big hit, but there was no overseas share. I went to check the accounts several times. There was no result until finally, under the instruction of He Guanchang, he received the dividend settlement from the finance department. Sammo Hung was in a good mood. Finally, in the finance office, he was notified that "The Best Lucky Star" had sold the other city for 1 Hong Kong dollar. Counting other expenses, Sammo Hung was still owed money to Jiahe, and the two parties fell out...

The only way to go back to the mainland is to go back to the mainland. What the author writes is relatively real. Hollywood scripts are not important. Hollywood is what big producers do. No matter how much money you make in Hong Kong and you bring your own funds to enter the film industry, you will still die. In fact, film distribution is the most important thing. It is as powerful as DreamWorks. If distribution is in the hands of others, is it still death? No matter how much development a Chinese person develops, he cannot reach the status of Spielberg. As for the scripts you mentioned, they may have been registered with the Screenwriters Guild. It is normal for many movie scripts to be written for more than ten years before filming, unless it is a script by a big producer. Even if you film it and distribute it to a big company, those in Hollywood will not even think about Wall Street. I dare to cheat you with money. Who do you think you are? You are a Chinese and you are a producer and investor. Can you believe it? A big hit film will settle the accounts for you and it will actually be a loss. Only when you return to the mainland, everything will start. Seizing the first-mover advantage in distribution is the right way. Anyway, the protagonist does not make a realistic literary film, so the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will not care about it.

The author is scared to death. The heroine has not yet come out. It is best not to be Wang Zuxian. Xiaoxian is just a clothes rack. Qiu Shuzhen is good. She has good looks and figure. If she had no choice, she would not be Wang Jing's mistress. She should not be too sexy and cute. Wang Zuxian is too thin and not beautiful.

I feel that today's domestic movies are a bit like the Hong Kong movies in the book. The difference is that at that time, popular Hong Kong movies could make money by re-editing them. Now, if you find a popular star in China and film them casually, you can make money. As for the plot of the movie, action and acting are not what filmmakers care about. When word of mouth deteriorates and popularity wanes, first blame the market for being too chaotic, then blame the country for being too strict, then blame the market for being sluggish, then blame the audience for having no taste, and then blame the audience for being unpatriotic.

If everything turns to smoke, can I turn into mud and contaminate you again?

Shouldn't Chen Jialuo engage Luo Bing? Why are you still making a movie?
