Chen Kexin came from Hong Kong, but grew up abroad, and returned to Hong Kong in the 1980s to enter the entertainment industry.
It was the most glorious moment of Hong Kong movies.
The pinnacle of Hong Kong movies has nothing to do with him.
When he grew up to be alone, Hong Kong movies gradually declined.
Even in this period of time, he has made classic movies such as Tale of Two Cities and Sweet Honey, but he has not won much fame and status for him.
With the return of Hong Kong and entering the new century, Hong Kong films are sluggish, looking north towards China, and becoming the direction of countless Hong Kong filmmakers.
It was in this trend that Chen Kexin came to the mainland, and he established his own movie studio in Beijing.
But six years have passed, and he has made many movies, many of which are ambitious masterpieces, but in the end, due to various reasons, the few movies he is most satisfied with are not at the box office. As expected.
Movies are a business that makes money. If you can’t make money for investors, how can you make movies?
He has two movies released this year, one is [Martial Arts] directed by him, and the other is [Fantastic Man] he is the producer. However, two well-produced and star-lined movies ended up disastrously at the box office. .
For him, this was a blow, and it also provided an opportunity for reflection.
What kind of movies will the audience like to make in the Mainland?
He was confused and confused!
Until, he saw this one for 33 days!
He didn't intend to watch it tonight, but a friend sent a ticket and told him that if he wanted to adapt to the mainland movie market, he had to take a good look. The main element of this film is grounding.
So, Chen Kexin came and watched it too!
pretty shocked!
well-made, this is the conscience of the filmmakers, it is a duty!
But the image of the little people created in this movie is impressive, especially Wang Xiaojian of Zhang Wen.
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 very much, especially when he noticed that from beginning to end, the heroes and heroines did not even have a confession line, 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 cinema.
Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong are in this film, let alone a love affair, they didn't even hold their hands.
is such a pure literary and artistic film that has created a classic in the minds of countless filmmakers.
There is no doubt that the thirty-three days of broken love is different from the autumn fairy tale.
The former, it has a strong hint of the interior, especially the breath of Jingcheng!
Having lived in Beijing for six years, Chen Kexin felt a resonance for the first time from mainland movies!
A cultural resonance!
It turned out that this is called grounding!
"Good-looking, wonderful!"
When the movie ended and the lights in the theater were on, Chen Kexin followed the crowd and stood up from their seats, clapping incessantly.
There was a burst of applause.
There are even a lot of people who are moved to a complete mess in Sorba!
This is not because the movie is sensational and splattering, but the resonance of everyone's spirit.
Zhang Wen rode a bicycle, carrying Lin Yuner home in the majestic rain.
They are all small people, they are all hanging silks, they can't afford a car or a house.
But they can still use "the dream has set sail☆ elegant anger" to create their own romance!
There was a wave of applause in the entire theater, and everyone on the scene stood up and applauded warmly.
Director Deng Huatao, with actors such as Lin Yuner, Zhang Wen, and Uncle Bird, walked to the bottom of the screen and bowed to the stands to thank him.
"Director Deng, it's wonderful!"
"Yeah, this is definitely the best movie I have ever seen this year!"
"I didn't say, Director Deng, this movie is absolutely popular!"
"Although it was the second time I saw it, I was still moved to a mess!"
"Director Deng, you are finally out, congratulations!"
"For such a good movie, if there is no good box office, what future is there for the Chinese movie!"
"Awesome, so wonderful!"
"Zhang Wen is definitely the biggest highlight in this movie!"
"Who said no? He must be on fire!"
"Lin Yoona's acting is also very talented, and she is also very beautiful, so it's hot!"
"Well, this movie is released, she must be more popular than before!"
There was a hustle and bustle in the movie theater, and everyone was still immersed in this movie, discussing everything in the movie.
Yang Huan smiled and nodded towards Deng Huatao and others, and gave an affirmative gesture.
"This movie is wonderful, I cried after watching it!" Zhuang Ziqing blinked vigorously.
Yang Huan is also very satisfied with this movie, which is more exciting than the one he saw in his previous life.
Zhang Ning has seen it several times before, and although he is still moved, he does not cry.
Seeing Zhuang Ziqing crying, she took a tissue and handed it over.
"Thank you!" Zhuang Ziqing took it and wiped her eyes.
She doesn't have any makeup, so she's not afraid to wipe her face.
"Mr. Yang Huan, a very, very wonderful movie!"
Someone started walking over to Yang Huan.
"Thank you!"
"I definitely watch this movie, it's great!"
"Come on, and please continue to support China-Liang movies in the future!"
Yang Huan smiled, shaking hands with everyone one by one.
until he saw Chen Kexin.
"A very good movie. Hopefully, I can kill Hao Laihu, come on!" Chen Kexin shook hands with Yang Huan very politely.
"Chen Kexin?" Yang Huan recognized him instantly.
"It's really you?"
Chen Kexin did not expect Yang Huan to have such a big reaction, a little surprised.
"I like your movies so much. Basically, as long as you make them, I have seen them, especially the cast and the siege of October!"
Yang Huan held Chen Kexin's hand vigorously, it felt a bit like a fan saw a star.
Chen Kexin was a little flattered, but he didn't expect this young master Huan to be his own fan!
Actually, Yang Huan had a misunderstanding in what he said.
The casting name certificate is indeed the work of director Chen Kexin, but the director of October Siege is Chen Desen, and Chen Kexin is regarded as the producer.
However, Chen Desen left midway due to various reasons and was taken over by Chen Kexin. Chen Desen still got the title of director, but everyone generally regarded this movie as Chen Kexin's personal work.
"Master Huan, neither of these two films can 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 a movie. Who would dare to vote for you?
"No, no, no, no!" Yang Huan said several no words, correcting Chen Kexin's mistake.
"In my opinion, what Chinese-language movies need most is this type of boutique movie!"
is also an ancient war movie, and the difference between the cast name and the recent release of the female generals of Yangmen is like a mountain.
As for the investment budget, how much does the star lineup account for?
"Do you plan to make any movies recently?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
These words immediately made many filmmakers around him look envious.
Master Huan asked, the subtext is that if you have anything you want to shoot, I will invest in you to shoot!
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 find the direction again."
"Why?" Yang Huan was puzzled.
As a person who loves movies, Chen Kexin's nomination and October Siege are both excellent, and at the same time, they have reached a certain level of quality work on both commercial and artistic levels.
What is even more rare is that the movies he makes always carry a 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 ascend to the top and join the hall of grandmaster!
In Yang Huan’s previous life, countless movie lovers felt sorry and regret for Chen Kexin.
That is the best chance he missed to reach the top!
But whether it is 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.
""Dream has Set Sail☆Elegant Fury" box office is not good! "
The four words speak of the bitterness of countless filmmakers.
Yes, in a commercial market where the box office determines success or failure, how about losing the box office, even if you win the word of mouth?
Yang Huan couldn't agree with his mentality.
"In this way, you help me make a movie!"
"Me?" Chen Kexin was a little surprised.
"Yes, just you, an epic commercial blockbuster!"
Everyone around listened, and they were all interested.
An epic commercial blockbuster?
This is the rhythm of burning money 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 a set of the most luxurious crew. I want to make an epic commercial masterpiece unprecedented in the film history of China. director!"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it.
Are you going to make an epic masterpiece?
Chen Kexin was even more shocked. This Young Master Huan also values himself too much, right?
I……
Everyone feels that 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 lacks an opportunity.
I had the rare opportunity to prove myself twice before, but I was frustrated for various reasons.
This hit him very hard, and it also made him a little frustrated.
But now, Yang Huan suddenly told him that to invest in him to make such a movie, it really moved him!
"Master Huan, what kind of movie do you plan to make? What kind of story do you tell?"
Chen Kexin felt jealous and asked immediately.
Some people are willing to spend so much money to invest in their own filming, if they dare not to follow, it would be too useless!
"I didn't think about it. What type of movie do you think has the most hope to reach overseas markets?"
Everyone in the surrounding area was suddenly surprised.
The layout of this young master Huan is really not that big.
When all Chinese film companies are focusing on China, he has already set his sights on overseas.
But, again, it's not surprising.
In the 33 days after the love break, it has sold the distribution rights of South Korea, Japan, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, and will even be released in Europe and the United States.
Regardless of whether the box office harvest is okay, just focus on this, people have such strength and qualifications.
"War films and sci-fi films. We are not sure to make sci-fi films yet. War films are best modern warfare!"
Yang Huan thought for a while, and found it reasonable, "Then take a paragraph from the war against Japan and Japan!"
Chen Kexin heard it and thought it was good.
A person next to him listened, but had a clever idea, "I have a good proposal."
Yang Huan looked over. 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 remembered that he did all the red gift films, and he also supervised the cast and the October Siege.
"Master Huan, if you want to film, I suggest filming the Chinese Expeditionary Army. It tells the story of our squadron dispatched 100,000 elite troops to expedition to Burma, fight against the Japanese army, and rescue the British army during the Anti-Japanese War. ."
is just such a sentence, Yang Huan can already outline the scenes of this epic movie.
"Okay, this subject is good!" Yang Huan exclaimed after making the case.
"Those people in Europe and the United States must have forgotten that World War II, we have made great achievements for this world. Without us, they won the Second World War? Let's use this movie, well. The reminder reminds them that during World War II, our contribution was no less than theirs, and our sacrifices were no less than theirs. Don’t **** make it seem like the earth would not turn without them!"
When Yang Huan said this, everyone in the room felt enthusiastic.
"Okay, well said!"
"This is the feeling of an epic blockbuster!"
"Yes, let's make a movie to remind them!"
"There is also Kohitama, let them understand how many crimes they have committed!"
"After all, we and the United Kingdom and the United States are victorious countries, Xiao Nisuo was originally a defeated country, so I have to remind them!"
"On this subject, please ask the best domestic screenwriters and experts to create the script. The war scenes must be filmed well, and the epic feeling must be felt. Also, the computer special effects must be the best. No? Well, I'll go back and let them go to Hollywood to buy a top special effects company that specializes in serving movies in China!"
Yang Huan said that, everyone present was dumbfounded again.
For a movie, buy a top Hollywood special effects company?
Good deed, this is too manual, too rich, right?
"Young Master HuanHow high is this budget?" Chen Ke asked with a hard smile.
In his bones, his thoughts of diligence and frugality are still at work.
Isn't it?
The best star lineup, the best behind-the-scenes team, the best screenwriting team, the best special effects team, how much does it cost?
I don't know, but Yang Huan waved his hand and slapped Chen Kexin's shoulder hard.
"Old Chen, don't worry about the money. I tell you, this movie has no budget. I will vote for as much as you want. You will be the director and Lao Huang will be the producer. You will cooperate again. Once the filming is finished, we will go abroad to grab it. Money go!"
When everyone heard it, their heart moved!
Today's movie market is where Hollywood movies come in to grab money.
How exciting would it be if our Chinese-language movies could also go out and grab money?
Chen Kexin nodded uncontrollably.
He knows that this is his last chance!
caught it, and he has hope of reaching the top!
If he fails again, then he shouldn’t be delusional at all!
At this moment, Sun Yue rushed in from outside the theater.
"Master Huan, good news!"
