Chapter 325 Good News

Chen Kexin is from Hong Kong, but grew up abroad. In the 1980s, he returned to Hong Kong and entered the entertainment industry.

That was the most glorious moment of Hong Kong cinema.

But the peak of Hong Kong films has nothing to do with him.

When he grew up to be able to stand alone, Hong Kong films gradually declined.

Even during this period of time, he successively made classic films such as Tale of Two Cities and Sweet Honey, but he failed to gain much fame and status for him.

With the return of Hong Kong and entering the new century, Hong Kong films are sluggish, looking north to Shenzhou, which has become the direction of countless Hong Kong filmmakers.

It was in such a trend that Chen Kexin came to the mainland and established his own film studio in Beijing.

But six years have passed, and he has made a lot of movies, many of which are ambitious masterpieces, but in the end, due to various reasons, these movies that he is most satisfied with are not at the box office. As expected.

Movies are a business that makes no money. If you can't make money for investors, how can you make movies?

This year, he has two films released, one is [Martial Arts] directed by him himself, and the other is [The Fantastic Heroes] which he is the producer of. However, the two well-made and star-studded films both ended in disastrous box-office failures. .

For him, it was a blow and an opportunity to reflect.

In the end what kind of movie is going to be made in the mainland so that the audience will like it?

He was lost and confused!

Until, he saw this 33 days of lovelorn!

He didn't plan to watch it tonight, but a friend sent him a ticket and told him that if he wants to adapt to the mainland movie market, he has to take a good look. The main element of this film is down-to-earth.

So, Chen Kexin came and watched it!

Very surprised!

Well-made, this is the conscience of the filmmaker, and it is his duty!

But the images of little people created in this film are impressive, especially Zhang Wen's Wang Xiaojian.

Indeed, this film is super grounded!

This is an element that is difficult to describe in words, but it does exist.

He liked the atmosphere created by the whole movie, especially when he noticed that from the beginning to the end, the male and female protagonists did not have a single line of confession, but they made everyone feel their soft and silent feelings. .

This reminds Chen Kexin of the autumn fairy tale directed by Zhang Wanting in the 1980s at the peak of Hong Kong movies.

In this film, Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong have never even held hands, let alone falling in love.

But it is such a pure literary film that has created a classic in the minds of countless filmmakers.

There is no doubt that the thirty-three days of lovelorn is different from the autumn fairy tale.

The former, it carries a strong hint of the mainland, especially the atmosphere of the city of Beijing!

Having lived in Beijing for six years, Chen Kexin felt a resonance for the first time from a mainland movie!

A cultural resonance!

It turns out that this is called grounding!

"Beautiful, wonderful!"

When the movie ends,

When the lights in the projection hall came on, Chen Kexin followed the crowd, stood up from his seat, and kept applauding.

A burst of applause came and went.

There are even many people in the field who were moved to a mess!

This is not because the movie is very emotional and spilling blood, but the spiritual resonance of everyone.

Zhang Wen rode a bicycle, carrying Lin Yuner all the way home in the majestic rain.

They are all petty people, they are all hanging silk, they can't afford a car, they can't afford a house.

But they can still use the means within their reach of "Dream Has Set sail☆ Elegant Fury" to create their own romance!

There was a tidal wave of applause from the entire theater, and everyone in the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Director Deng Huatao, along with actors such as Lin Yuner, Zhang Wen, and Uncle Piao, all walked to the bottom of the screen, bowing towards the stands and thanking them.

"Director Deng, it's amazing!"

"Yeah, this is definitely the best movie I've seen this year!"

"I didn't say it, Director Deng, this movie is absolutely popular!"

"Although it's the second time I've seen it, I'm still completely moved!"

"Director Deng, you have finally made it through, congratulations!"

"If such a good movie doesn't have a good box office, then there is no future for Chinese movies!"

"Amazing, amazing!"

"Zhangwen is definitely the biggest highlight of this movie!"

"Who said no? He must be on fire!"

"Lin Yuner's performance is also very talented, and she is also beautiful, and she is also popular!"

"Well, this movie is released, and she must be more popular than before!"

There was a commotion in the movie theater, and everyone was still immersed in the movie, discussing everything in the movie.

Yang Huan smiled and nodded towards Deng Huatao and others, and gave a positive gesture.

"This movie is so exciting, I cried!" Zhuang Ziqing blinked hard.

Yang Huan is also very satisfied with this movie, which is even more exciting than the one he watched in his previous life.

Zhang Ning had watched it several times before, and although he was still moved, he didn't cry.

Seeing Zhuang Ziqing cry, she took a tissue and handed it over.

"Thank you!" Zhuang Ziqing took it and wiped her eyes.

She didn't wear makeup, and she wasn't afraid to wipe her face.

"Mr. Yang Huan, a very, very exciting movie!"

Someone next to him began to come over and congratulate Yang Huan.

"thanks!"

"I'm sure I'm going to see this movie, it's great!"

"Come on, please continue to support Chinese films in the future!"

Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one.

Until he saw Chen Kexin.

"It's a very good movie. I hope it can kill a good Leihu. Come on!" Chen Kexin shook hands with Yang Huan politely.

"Chen Kexin?" Yang Huan recognized him at once.

"Is it really you?"

Chen Kexin didn't expect Yang Huan to have such a big reaction, which was a bit unexpected.

"I like your movies very much. Basically, as long as they are made by you, I have seen them, especially the name and October siege!"

Yang Huan held Chen Kexin's hand tightly, it felt a bit like a fan seeing a star.

Chen Kexin was a little flattered, but he didn't expect this young master Huan to be his own fan!

In fact, Yang Huan was a bit misunderstood.

The nomination certificate is indeed the work of director Chen Kexin, but the director of October Siege is Chen Desen, and Chen Kexin is the producer.

However, Chen Desen left halfway for various reasons, and then Chen Kexin took over. Chen Desen still got the title of director, but everyone generally regarded this film as Chen Kexin's personal work.

"Master Huan, these two movies can't make money!" Chen Kexin was a little embarrassed.

As the famous commercial director Wang Jing said, a very important ability of a director is to help investors make money.

You can't make any money, and you lose one in one film, who would dare to vote for you?

"No no no no no!" Yang Huan said several no words in a row, correcting Chen Kexin's mistake.

"In my opinion, what Chinese-language films need most is this type of boutique film!"

It's also an ancient war movie. The difference between the name and the recent release of the female general of the Yang family's army is like a mountain. The gap is really not that big.

As for the investment budget, how much does the star lineup account for in the name list?

"Have you planned to make any movies recently?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

These words immediately made many filmmakers around them look envious.

Young Master Huan asked, the subtext is that if you have something you want to shoot, I will invest in you to shoot it!

Chen Kexin shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "I have lost a lot of money in several consecutive dramas recently. I have to make adjustments and re-explore the direction."

"Why?" Yang Huan was a little puzzled.

As a person who loves movies, Chen Kexin's vote and the October Siege are both very good, and at the same time, they have reached a certain level of high-quality works in both business and art.

What is even more rare is that the films he shoots always carry a very strong cultural atmosphere.

According to Yang Huan's understanding, he should take a bold step forward on this basis.

As long as this step is done well, then he will reach the peak and become the Grand Master!

In Yang Huan's previous life, countless movie lovers felt sorry and regretful for Chen Kexin.

That is he missed the best chance to get to the top!

But no matter from his understanding of movies, his ability to direct, or even his observation of the entire movie market, he is a very good filmmaker.

Chen Kexin is still smiling bitterly, he is a person who often lives in helplessness.

""The Dream Has Set sail ☆ Elegant Fury" did not fare well at the box office! "

These four words express the bitterness of countless filmmakers.

Yes, in a commercial market where box office determines success or failure, if you lose the box office, what if you win word of mouth?

Yang Huan couldn't agree with his attitude.

"So, you help me make a play!"

"Me?" Chen Kexin was a little surprised.

"Yes, just you, an epic commercial blockbuster!"

Everyone around listened and became interested.

Epic commercial blockbuster?

This is the rhythm of burning money like crazy!

"I want to invite the best and most suitable actors to form a star lineup, and the best behind-the-scenes staff to form the most luxurious crew. I want to make an epic commercial masterpiece that has never been seen before in the history of Chinese films. It's up to you. director!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this going to be an epic novel?

Chen Kexin was even more shocked, did this young master Huan take himself too seriously?

I……

Everyone thinks they are the best in their hearts!

Although Chen Kexin is low-key, he has always felt that he is the best filmmaker, but he just lacks an opportunity.

In the past, I had two rare opportunities to prove myself, but both suffered setbacks for various reasons.

This hit him very hard, and it also made him a little disheartened.

But now, Yang Huan suddenly told him that he wanted to invest in him to make such a movie, which was so touching!

"Master Huan, what type of movie do you plan to make? What kind of story do you tell?"

Chen Kexin's heart moved, and he immediately asked.

Some people are willing to spend so much money to invest in their own filming. If they don't dare to continue, they are too useless!

"I didn't think about it. What type of movies do you think is the most promising to hit the overseas market?"

Everyone around was amazed again.

This young master Huan's pattern is really not ordinary.

When all Chinese-language film companies are focusing on China, he has already set his sights on overseas.

However, on second thought, it is not surprising.

After 33 days of lovelorn, it sold the distribution rights in South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, and will even be released in Europe and the United States one after another.

Regardless of whether the box office harvest is good or not, just for this point, people have such strength and qualifications.

"War movies and sci-fi movies. We haven't been able to make sci-fi movies yet. The best war movies are modern warfare!"

Yang Huan thought for a while and thought it made sense, "Then take a section from the Anti-Japanese War!"

When Chen Kexin heard it, he felt good too.

A person next to him heard it, but had an idea, "I have a good proposal."

Yang Huan looked at it and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

He didn't know him, but Chen Kexin did.

"Director Huang, it's you!"

"It's me, Director Chen!"

Chen Kexin immediately introduced Yang Huan, "This is Director Huang Jianxin!"

Huang Jianxin?

Yang Huan just remembered that he made all the red gift films, and he also supervised the production of the Nominations and October Siege.

"Master Huan, if you want to shoot, I suggest to shoot the Chinese Expeditionary Army. It tells the story of the period of the Anti-Japanese War. At the request of Britain and the United States, our squadron sent 100,000 elite troops to expedition to Burma to fight against the Japanese army and rescue the British. Army's story."

With just such a sentence, Yang Huan can already outline the scene of this epic movie.

"Okay, this theme is good!" Yang Huan exclaimed.

"Those European and American people must have forgotten that in the Second World War, we made great achievements for the world. Without us, they could have won the Second World War? Let's just use this movie, well The reminder reminds them that during World War II, our contribution was no less than theirs, and our sacrifice was no less than theirs, don’t make the whole day as if the earth would not turn the same without them!”

When Yang Huan said this, everyone present felt their blood boiled when they heard it.

"Okay, well said!"

"This is the feeling of an epic blockbuster!"

"Yes, let's make a movie to remind them!"

"And the little day book, let them understand how many crimes they have committed!"

"In the end, we and Britain and the United States are both victorious countries, and Xiaori was not originally a defeated country, so I have to remind them!"

"On this subject, please invite the best screenwriters and experts in the country to create the script. The war scenes must be well filmed and have that kind of epic feel. Also, the computer effects must be the best. Is there any in China? No? Well, I'll ask them to go to Hollywood to acquire a top-level special effects company that specializes in serving Chinese and Chinese films!"

When Yang Huan said this, everyone present was dumbfounded again.

Buying a top Hollywood special effects company for a movie?

Darling, this is too big, too rich, right?

"Master Huan, how high is this budget?" Chen Ke asked with a hard smile.

In his bones, the thought of being diligent and thrifty is still at work.

Isn't it?

The best star cast, the best behind-the-scenes team, the best writing team, the best special effects team, how much does it cost?

Who knows, Yang Huan waved his hand and patted Chen Kexin on the shoulder hard.

"Old Chen, don't worry about the money, let me tell you, there is no budget for this movie, I will invest as much as you want, you will be the director, and Lao Huang will be the producer. You two will work together again. Once the filming is finished, let's go abroad to grab it. Money to go!"

When everyone heard this, the spirit in their hearts moved!

In today's movie market, Hollywood movies are rushing in to grab money.

How exciting would it be if our Chinese-language movies could also go out and grab money?

Chen Kexin nodded involuntarily.

He knew that this was his last chance!

If he catches it, he has the hope of reaching the top!

If he fails again, then he should stop delusional!

At this moment, Sun Yue happily rushed in from outside the screening hall.

"Master Huan, good news!"
