Chapter 778 "Infernal Affairs"(1/2)
Beijing.
General Administration of Culture.
After Ye Wen came to the office, she saw that the potted plants on the windowsill had regained their former vitality.
Pick up the watering can on the side and sprinkle water carefully.
Flowers, like women, need regular care and maintenance.
Ye Wen was a workaholic when she was young and never paid much attention to maintenance.
As age increases, body functions begin to decline, some diseases caused by excessive fatigue gradually become apparent, and the skin loses its luster.
Especially recently, I would feel soreness in my back after working for a while, and Ye Wen felt that she was really getting older.
When she was resting at home recently, she often discussed maintenance matters with her daughter Chen Ye.
The potted plants that had been sprayed with water were crystal clear in the sun. Ye Wen leaned over and put her nose close to the flowers. A faint fragrance came from the flowers and whispered: "Maybe this is the real joy of growing flowers."
When she felt happy and energetic, Ye Wen sat at her desk contentedly and started processing documents.
The office was extremely quiet, and you could even hear the rustling sound coming from the friction between the pen tip and the paper.
This is the best state for working, with peace of mind and full concentration on it.
Not long after, the secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Bureau Ye, it's time for the meeting."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
The General Administration of Culture's plan to support film development continues, and the meetings held during this period are basically based on this theme.
Ye Wen hopes to see the domestic film market flourish as soon as possible, but she also knows that this cannot be solved in a hurry.
Supporting the development of film is a protracted battle that cannot be completed in a short time.
Putting down the documents in her hands, Ye Wen picked up the notebook she took notes from in the folder and headed to the conference room.
There are many types of movies, and the development situation of each movie type is different.
Today's meeting mainly discussed supporting the development of sketch-themed films.
Martial arts action films were the mainstream of the film market twenty years ago, but now they have declined to the point that no director is willing to touch them, and they are now also a category among sketch film themes.
but.
"Kung Fu" became a hit in the film market, and its box office even broke the record for the highest box office of a Chinese film.
Martial arts action movies have once again returned to the public eye, allowing some directors to see hope again.
Through the efforts of the General Administration of Culture, there are many veteran martial arts action film directors who think they can give it a try.
After all, this type of movie also represents an era, and there is a bit of a complex in it.
The genre of martial arts action movies is slowly gaining momentum.
In today's era of advanced technology, many people think that science fiction movies are a type of popular movie.
However, the General Administration of Culture also classifies science fiction films as sketch films.
Domestic science fiction movies are so popular because they are influenced by foreign science fiction movies and have nothing to do with domestic movies.
There is no way, this is what current domestic movies are like.
Due to various factors, domestic films simply cannot produce the same effects as foreign blockbusters.
Up to now, there are only one or two science fiction movies that domestic films can really produce.
There was not much discussion at the meeting about supporting the development of science fiction films because of Son Do-ho's "The Dark Forest."
Although it hasn't been released yet, I know there will probably be no problems at the box office.
Discussions at the meeting mainly focused on spy films, police and gangster films, road films, and fantasy films.
These types of movie themes require the infusion of high-quality fresh blood to bring vitality.
After the discussion is over.
Ye Wen's brain is particularly clear today and her thoughts are very clear.
Looking at the notes she took, she concluded: "The first step is to publish these four types of movies online through the official website after the meeting, so that entertainment companies, directors, screenwriters, and actors know the main goals of subsequent support."
"The second step is to notify the heads of various entertainment companies and ask them to come to the General Administration of Culture for a meeting. At that time, we hope that they will try their best to make high-quality small-category movies. The support plan given by our General Administration of Culture is that under the premise of ensuring quality, we can
Green light, and a lot of resources tilted."
Ye Wen paused: "What do you think of this plan?"
Some of the other senior executives in the conference room nodded, while others were thinking.
After a few seconds, Ye Wen saw that no one objected and said: "Okay, let's follow this plan first. If there are any problems in the process, report to me as soon as possible and adjourn the meeting."
After the meeting, go back to the office.
Ye Wen picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. When she went to the meeting, she was thinking about the support plan and forgot to take the cup.
After talking so much in the meeting, my mouth felt a little dry.
Then Ye Wen leaned back on the chair and thought over and over again in her mind whether there were any other plans for the development of sketch movies.
"How great it would be if every type of movie could have a movie like "Kung Fu"!" Ye Wen put down her cup and couldn't help but sigh.
The support plan Ye Wen mentioned at the meeting is already the greatest support provided by the General Administration of Culture.
As for whether it can support success?
In the end, it still depends on the quality of the movie itself and whether it can be accepted by the audience.
Ye Wen filled her cup with water, moved her body, and continued working to prepare for the next meeting.
The official website of the General Administration of Culture immediately announced the news as Ye Wen said.
Once released, it was discussed by many netizens.
"I understand that road movies and fantasy films are classified as niche movies. The development of these two types of movies has never been good. I didn't expect that my favorite police movie was also a niche movie. It's so sad."
"Brother upstairs, please disconnect from the Internet. Have you watched any good police movies in the past few years?"
"This type of short film is the most difficult to make. If it doesn't do well at the box office, it will definitely fail."
"I have paid attention to the official website of the General Administration of Culture before. Films such as martial arts action films are also one of them. Now they have been kicked out. It should be due to the influence of "Kung Fu". Now there may be many directors following the trend and looking forward to their success."
"Domestic science fiction themes should also be one of them."
"The Dark Forest directed by Son Do-ho is a science fiction movie. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I wonder when it will be released?"
Beijing.
Bright Entertainment Company.
Since arriving at the company in the morning, Tan Yue has been writing scripts.
I looked at the time and realized that two hours had passed.
Tan Yue looked at the official website of the General Administration of Culture during his break.
Important trends in the entertainment industry can only be seen at the General Administration of Culture.
As the vice president of Bright Entertainment Company, of course you need to pay attention all the time.
Tan Yue saw the latest policy of the General Administration of Culture to support the development of sketch films, and he had some ideas.
I don’t have any plans for my next movie yet, but I can choose one from them.
While thinking, Tan Yue tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and started brainstorming according to the four announced categories of short movies.
The cell phone tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the police movie.
""Infernal Affairs"!"
Tan Yue thought of such a movie.
As a police film, it is called a classic by countless viewers.
The "Infernal Affairs" in the film's title "Infernal Affairs" means "Infernal Affairs".
The title of the film is "Infernal Affairs", which means that the two identities should not belong to people. They almost live in an environment similar to hell, and they are afraid of others revealing their identities in their dreams.
There is no reincarnation when entering the endless hell, only eternal suffering. However, the two protagonists in the film are seeking reincarnation.
"Infernal Affairs" mainly expresses the relationship between people, so the director did not create many mysterious things.
The plot is very simple. The film tells the story of two men with mixed identities who are undercover agents of the police and the underworld. After a fierce battle, they are determined to find themselves.
Tan Yue didn't know how many times he had watched this movie, and the plot quickly came to mind.
"Infernal Affairs" has won the Film Academy Award for Best Film, the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture and other awards. One of the leading actors, Tony Leung, won the Film Academy Award for Best Actor for this film.
It can still be said to be the pinnacle of police and gangster movies to this day, and many people still revisit it from time to time.
At the same time, the film has another layer of identity, and is also called a rescue work for Hong Kong films.
At that time, the entire Hong Kong film industry was in a slump and had lost its influence. Almost every film was released and every film died, and the box office was never satisfactory.
Once the investors saw that the money invested in the film exceeded expectations, they began to hesitate.
