Chapter 907: A group of scumbags
"Uncle Wu, it's rare to receive your call. Are you thinking of me if you have something good to do?"
When Meng Qingzhou first entered the industry, Wu Jianguo was the deputy director of Shanghai Film Director. The first movie "Thirty-Three Days" was created by a group of people from Shanghai Film Directors. He also cheated them, and Lao Wu and his parents have been in love for many years;
After hanging up the phone, Qingzhou walked in from outside the house: "Dad, Uncle Wu called you early this morning?"
Meng Yangting hugged Xiaoxuan and refused to let go. When he heard his son's question, he turned around and said, "Old Wu owe the Wei family favors. Qingzhou, it's best to make big things happen. Wei Han and your mother know each other, so there is no need to make a fuss too much!"
"Wei Han? I haven't heard you mention it. Since they know each other, they don't know the relationship between Xiaohu, Reba and me?"
Seeing that Qingzhou was not calm yet, Zhou Yuemei smiled and said to him: "I don't know. Old Wei wanted to come to our house to apologize early in the morning, but I pushed him. I didn't ask what the specific matter is. You have to call him directly. No matter what, you can't let Mimi and Xiaodi be wronged!"
Therefore, the domestic circle is very small, and people who are both rebellious can always find people who everyone knows. The plot of the two major consortiums in film and television dramas fighting for love and ignoring interests is absolutely impossible in reality;
At the end of the matter, Wei Minghong opened ten new specialty stores for Ruisi in a second-tier city;
Those who know the inside story are worried about the Wei family. After all, Meng Qingzhou's dominance has precedent, but unexpectedly the matter ends like this. Of course, no one thinks Meng Qingzhou takes advantage!
...
"Oh, isn't this Boss Meng who just bullied people in the Demon City? When did he come back?"
Liu Sisi suppressed her inner joy and stopped slowly when she saw the Reba behind Qingzhou;
The girl got a lot of benefits this time and was about to find someone to share it. She still remembered the matter between Liu Sisi and Meng Qingzhou, and not to mention that she was a young man at home, she was not her turn to worry about it;
"Sister Sisi, we have ten more stores in Ruisi. I have already asked the publicity department to plan this year's advertising. Then, how about going abroad to shoot?"
"You are the boss, and the little girl can only follow your arrangements!"
"Haha, Sister Sisi, you are much older than me. The name of little girl is not rigorous."
Sisi rushed up in anger and tossed on Reba's face. Lao Meng asked them to go in before giving up;
"Liu Sisi, you are not on the crew and you are leaving the post without authorization, so it's not true!" Meng Qingzhou said with a striking remark, as if he had completely forgotten the fact that he sent Sisi on the plane;
Even though he knew that he did this on purpose, the girl still couldn't help but feel evil in her heart;
"It turns out that Director Meng doesn't welcome me. Okay, Xiaodi, sister is back to the crew. Sister Mi comes out and tells me." After saying that, she held her clutch at the door, ready to leave without looking back;
"Hey, you have a too tough temper. You can't say anything to you. You have to let me admit my mistake, right? You deserve it, Liu Sisi, you are cruel, I'm wrong!"
"Puchi!"
"Hahaha!"
Sisi sat at the door with a smile, turned around and glared at Lao Meng coquettishly. The smelly man knew how to talk!
The sudden smell of dog food made Reba feel a little extra. She was depressed for less than five seconds and turned around and left without seeing her. She was not upset;
Although the two of them had already made it clear, they were still very restrained at home. Meng Qingzhou threw his coat on the sofa, "Are you going back tonight?"
"I won't have my show tomorrow, why are you going back? Meng Qingzhou, don't you really don't want to see me, right?"
Liu Sisi walked up to him in a few steps, and suddenly pinched Lao Meng's ear with both hands: "Say, do you miss me?"
"Think about it, let go, let them see it later, and you will be miserable!"
Sisi leaned into Qingzhou's ear and said sweetly: "I'll stay behind tonight. Do you dare to come over?"
Before Meng Qingzhou could answer, he saw Sisi looking behind him in a little panic;
Looking back, the vixen was standing in the corner of the living room wearing a bath towel, looking at them with a smile;
The most beautiful moment for a woman is after bathing;
Mimi's clean face was not decorated at all, her graceful body was not stained with a trace of vulgarity, and there seemed to be misty mist around her...
It is like a lotus emerges from clear water, and its skin is delicate and smooth, and it slightly exudes a pink halo that is steamed by heat, and its body smells of holiness and temptation;
It is sexy but has no sense of dust. It is beautiful but pure and charming!
"Sister, can we be more generous? It's so indifferent to you."
"Bah, I'm not as shameless as you. You are the one who is indifferent. You are not afraid of colds. No wonder Xixi said you are the reincarnation of a vixen!"
Lao Meng touched his nose and stood up without saying a word to stay away from the right and wrong place. The little fox stopped him with his hands: "Don't leave, Lao Meng, the sign has not been turned over yet. Can you, a man, have some courage? You are not very domineering in the demon!"
The scumbag spread his hands and responded shamelessly: "Mimi, you know I have always been passive. Can't you help me with these things?"
They were talking straightforward, and Liu Sisi felt swaying, her face turned red, and she didn't know how to let go of her hands;
"Haha, Meng Qingzhou, if you are shameless and calculate your skills, I guess you are full!"
Avoiding the little fox's pull, Lao Meng went to the bedroom to wash up. It was more convenient for Mimi to say some things;
...
This year's Spring Festival period started on January 31 and ended on February 6. In 7 days, eight films including "The Great Trouble", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "Frozen" were released, which were the same as last year, but the box office results and number of viewers both increased significantly compared with the same period last year;
Among them, "Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" won the box office championship with a score of 612 million yuan, and also broke many records in domestic film history of 3D movies;
"Where Are We Going, Dad" ranked second with 468 million, and also broke many records in the history of mainland films in 2D movies.
In North America, "Frozen", which has achieved great results worldwide, was released in the last two days of the long holiday and was unfavorable in the filming schedule. The box office was only 34 million in two days of release.
The advantage of the number of films has allowed two domestic films to dominate the film market this year's Spring Festival, and has also made it the strongest Spring Festival period in the history of mainland films so far.
Because Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu's movies were all placed around May Day, and several major productions in the Spring Festival period were also invested by Wan Chongshan, they were not the main control project after all, so Meng Qingzhou didn't care much;
March and April of the past years have been theoretical off-seasons. Meng Qingzhou is concerned about it. In addition to "The Fireworks in the Daytime", there is only "You, the Deskmate" starring Gulina;
It is obvious that "You, the Deskmate" is a money-making work that lacks sincerity!
In the general category of movies, it is divided into commercial films and art films. The former is to make money, while the latter is to win awards;
"The Fireworks in the Day" belongs to the latter. In fact, if it weren't for winning the award, it would probably not be so outstanding in the domestic box office.
The most important thing about art films is to be able to tell a reasonable and good-looking story.
The rationality here can be exaggerated, black humor, but logically needs to be smooth. At least in this regard, the daylight fireworks are qualified, the rhythm of the whole film is very slow, many close-ups of facial details, slow recommendations of the plot, and a sudden turn at the end.
"Diao Yinan's film has a little bit of a noir style. If it can be deeper, it will be very literary and artistic!"
After the premiere of "The Fireworks in the Day", Meng Qingzhou, Lao Jiang, Zhou Ying and others watched the movie and found an old teahouse, ordered two pots of tea and a few plates of fruits and vegetables, which were comfortable and comfortable;
"You are wrong. Noir movies are not that simple. Besides, if Diao Yinan made a pure art film, he might not even win the Golden Bear Award!"
Jiang Wen took a deep breath, and after getting enough to smoke, he nodded in agreement with Zhou Ying's words;
Movie noir is a genre;
Type films must be reproduced in large quantities, and movies that cannot be reproduced in large quantities cannot be included in the category of genre films. The reason is that Hollywood film companies have no money to make money. Because only large quantities of reproduction can save costs to the greatest extent;
Many excellent films of noir, such as "The Eagle of Malta", "Chinatown", etc., think that movies of noir seem to be isolated individuals, but in fact they are just because the audience does not see more and mediocre, but similar movies with many elements like these excellent films.
"The Fireworks of the Day" is obviously not the kind of movie that can be copied in large quantities.
Secondly, movies noir must have the most basic plots and role categories, and these plots and role categories have fixed patterns. Snippets refer to the occurrence of a certain conflict, the development and ending are centrally completed within a fixed time range, and the methods of starting, inheriting, turning and turning are also conventional.
For example, in "Chinatown", Nick Jackelson visited Fettonaway. In other words, others can completely copy these plots, but the tone, performance, and camera positions are different;
The use of bridge segments is also a cost-saving consideration.
There are also characters: elegant detectives, down-and-out detectives, hysterical women, whistleblowers, etc. These similar characters can be appreciated by the audience without any effort.
What everyone sees is not fresh, but charm. This is like the old Chinese audience who appreciates Peking Opera, and they taste the question of how many steps the overlord should take to the stage.
"Day Fireworks" is an extremely personal creation of a director, and does not have these types of scenes and character patterns.
Therefore, "White" is not a film noir, but a "author movie" that draws on mature elements of film noir.
In front of these big shots, Meng Qingzhou's understanding of this aspect was obviously much worse, and he changed the subject by knowing the opportunity;
"Old Yu, Dong Han has retired. Do you know the new one?"
Since taking over China Film Group in 2007, Han Shanpin's position in the film industry has been increasing, and the industry respectfully calls him "San Ye". There is no doubt that Han Shanpin is the director with the highest "appearance rate" as a "producer" in Chinese film history so far.
Han Shanpin has launched a series of high-cost and high-recycling commercial blockbusters, including "The Legend of the Conquest", "The Legend of the Conquest", "Red Cliff", "Mei Lanfang", etc., bringing Chinese films into a mature era of blockbusters.
Those who are familiar with him in the circle know that the movie Lao Han wanted to make the most is "The Legend of the Constitution". The two most brilliant works of his career ("The Founding of the Party" and "The Founding of the Country") can already be seen, but unfortunately, he was unable to fulfill his "long-cherished wish" when he was "reigning", otherwise we will see another star-studded biography of a great man.
To discuss Han Shanpin’s merits and demerits, we must first look at his resume.
As the director, Han Shanpin is basically an unknown third-rate director, but as the producer, producer and producer, Han Shanpin can be said to have made a lot of contributions to Chinese films.
In his producer's resume, domestic academic directors such as Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai, Senior Lu, Zhang Yang, and Huo Jianqi have all received his support. Domestic big names like Chen Kaige, Wang Shuo, and Feng Jugang have helped him. Hong Kong famous directors such as Zhou Xingxing, John Woo, and Chen Kexin have all the heavy works of Hong Kong directors in the mainland. Will Smith and Cheng Long are all intertwined because of him.
Han Shanpin's support for his younger generations is beyond the circle. If Han Shanpin had not been able to, Lu Chuan was basically a "crying boy with boiled water" now, and the talented Ning Hao might have to worry about money.
Zhang Weiping's criticism of "Zushan Diao" back then was a side proof of his status in the industry. Those gossips about "Hollywood executives must go to the Little West when they come to Beijing" are also mutual respect in the industry. After major Hollywood companies visited the rich in Qingdao, they would have a clear understanding of their integrity.
These are a small part of Han Sanye’s achievements in the movie. When he shouted that the annual box office was 20 billion, many smart people thought it was a foolish dream. Looking back now, it is definitely a far-sighted insight;
"You said Lao Kang? I haven't had much contact with you. Why, you Wan Chongshan are also worried about the new people and new atmosphere?"
Of course, Meng Qingzhou would not tell him that before Lao Han decided to retire, he visited Meng Qingzhou with Lao Kang and helped the two establish a preliminary connection;
Policy is the first priority in China, and all walks of life are the same. Film and television dramas have been subject to various industry norms of radio and television for a long time. Although China Film cannot decide many things, it is undeniable that his transcendent position in the domestic film and television industry;
"I said, we are here to have tea!" Jiang Wen shouted in dissatisfaction, then said to Lao Meng: "I have been staying at home for a while and haven't gone out much. I just heard someone say you are a robber in the Demon City again?"
"Everything is so evil that you can tell me. What did I steal? I volunteered to help Xiaodi build ten specialty stores. What else can I object to!"
"Hehe, Boss Meng is so awesome. When will I buy the White House? My buddy is willing to ruin myself and make a pornographic movie inside to reward you. How about it?"
"You're the hero?"
"It's true, you have to be able to do it, let alone the male lead, I recognize the female lead!"
Yu Dong and Ning Hao scoffed at these two shamelessly, raised their teacup, pretending not to hear it;
Zhou Ying and Xue Xiaolu spat, a group of scumbags;
Chapter completed!
