Chapter 817 "The Truman Show"(1/2)
United States, California.
Baofeng Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Robinson sat behind his desk, staring at a bikini photo of a blonde beauty on the computer screen.
"Tsk tsk, Elana is getting more and more delicious."
"I didn't think it was a big deal when I was young, but now that I'm older, she's become more plump and charming. Well, not bad. I can ask her out next time I go to New York."
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the office door.
Robinson raised his head, looked at the door, and said, "Please come in."
While speaking, he moved his fingers very quickly and clicked the cross on the photo of a bikini beauty on the computer screen. At the same time, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as calm and calm as ever.
Walking in from the door was Jesse, a well-known director of Baofeng Entertainment.
"Oh, Jesse, you're here, sit down quickly." Robinson smiled.
Jesses smiled and nodded. He calmly came to sit on the chair opposite Robinson's desk, with a relaxed and comfortable look on his face.
Jesses and Robinson, the president of Baofeng Entertainment, have had a relationship for nearly 20 years. They are old friends. It is not just a simple relationship between employee and boss on the surface, but they are also very relaxed in daily interactions.
"Jesus, how is the progress of "Sky God"?" Robinson asked with a smile.
"God of the Sky" is another science fiction masterpiece produced by Baofeng Entertainment after "To the Sky". The initial investment alone exceeded 200 million US dollars. According to media reports, additional investment will continue in the later period.
, the total investment cost of "God of the Sky" may exceed US$500 million!
Everyone at Baofeng Entertainment regards the new movie "Sky God" as a science fiction blockbuster that surpasses "Sky".
Jesses said: "Everything is progressing smoothly, of course, that is under the premise that the later investment can keep up."
Robinson laughed and said: "Oh my god, old man, do you know how expensive this movie is? It shouldn't be called "God of the Sky", it should be called "The God of Money"."
Jesses defended his movie. He said seriously: "Boss, you have to have full confidence in this movie. Just invest money, believe in such an excellent script, and believe in my directorial ability. You know what? I dare
I bet you that after this movie is released, it will definitely win the top spot at the global box office!"
Robinson was very happy after hearing what Jesus said, laughed loudly, and said: "Jesus, I believe you, I hope I can drink the champagne to celebrate "Sky God" winning the global box office championship."
After speaking, Robinson continued: "Jesus, have you heard about the recent actions of the General Administration of Culture of China?"
Jesses shook his head and said: "No, I have been busy filming "God of the Sky" and I didn't pay attention to other things in the outside world."
Robinson said: "The General Administration of Culture announced a list, saying that several Chinese directors' films will be released around the world one after another. China is beginning to target the global film market."
There are no particularly outstanding figures in the Chinese film industry, neither directors nor actors, there are no truly international big names.
In terms of military, politics, brokerage, etc., China is undoubtedly one of the most powerful countries in the world today. However, at the cultural level, China, which has been focusing on developing hard power for many years, has made huge neglect in soft power. Cultural soft power
Ranked just outside the dozens in the world.
If we talk about other aspects of China, Robinson and Jesses should take it seriously, but in terms of the entertainment industry, the entire China Entertainment Group is currently tied together, and it is not enough for Baofeng Entertainment to fight alone.
The reason why we pay more attention to the Chinese film market is because this film market is huge and is one of the largest film markets in the world.
It is strange to say that generally the more developed the market, the more excellent products it can stimulate, but it is exactly the opposite in China. China has the largest film market in the world, but it does not have a strong enough and brilliant entertainment industry.
Jesses said disdainfully: "Is this news important? In the past, there were no movies directed by Chinese directors that were released around the world, and weren't they all thrown away? Yellow people have no cultural genes."
Robinson reminded: "Jesus, don't forget that in the Chinese film market, "Straight to the Sky" lost to a Chinese director, and that Chinese director appeared on that list."
Jesse was immediately annoyed and said loudly: "Robinson, let me tell you, it was just an accident, and it was only the box office of the movie "Up to the Sky" in China, not the global box office of "Up to the Sky"."
"Oh, Jesse, don't be angry, I believe in you, I believe in you." Seeing that the old man was really angry, Robinson quickly comforted him.
…
…
on Monday.
Beijing.
Bright Entertainment Company.
President's Office.
The breeze blew and lifted a corner of the curtain. Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer and staring at the scene, was slightly lost in thought, frowning and thinking about something.
During this time, I have been preparing for the upcoming new movie, analyzing problems in my own movies, watching foreign classic blockbusters, and summarizing many experiences in the notebook in my hand. All in order to make my first movie synchronized globally.
The movie was released with success.
Tan Yue looked back and decided in his heart that it was time to start preparing for a new movie.
No matter how much you summarize your experience, it can't be as intuitive as the feelings brought about by making a movie.
Tan Yue naturally hopes that his first film that will be released simultaneously around the world will achieve huge gains in word-of-mouth and box office, but at the same time he is also prepared to fail.
Competition in the global film market is so fierce that everything is still unknown.
Tan Yue gently rubbed his temples to relieve his mental fatigue. His mind was always highly concentrated, and the fatigue caused by it would only become more intense.
After resting in the chair for a while, I opened my eyes and my fatigue was relieved a lot.
"It's better to put on the massager and relax."
The stiffness in his neck reminded Tan Yue of the massager placed aside. He first turned on the start button on the mobile phone software, and then hung the massager around his neck.
Half a minute later, accompanied by vibrations, a warm feeling came from the massager, and Tan Yue lay comfortably on the chair again.
I don't know if it was because of the weather or the new model, but Tan Yue felt that the temperature rose very quickly after a few presses of his head that were in contact with his neck.
But for him, this is his favorite place. Only with temperature can the massage reach the most comfortable state.
Not long after, Tan Yue felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he wanted to sleep for a while.
"can not sleep."
During working hours, Tan Yue was not allowed to sleep. He got up and stretched himself to the coffee machine, made himself a cup of coffee, added a little sugar to it, took a sip, and sat back in front of the computer.
Now that he has decided to make a new movie, Tan Yue once again fell into deep thought about the selection of materials.
The subject matter of a movie still has a huge impact on the box office.
There is no shortage of cases in the movie market that have good reputations but low box office. This is because the subject matter of the movie has a relatively small audience and can only interest a very small number of people.
As his first film to be released globally, Tan Yue naturally hopes that the new film will not only have a good reputation but also not fail at the box office.
"Zi——"
Tan Yue tasted coffee to keep his mind clear, and he was thinking about the theme of the new movie.
But still no inspiration at all.
When he had no clue, Tan Yue accidentally opened the International News Network to check some foreign news.
News events that are more popular are always easier for the audience to resonate with.
A news headline attracted Tan Yue's attention.
"In recent days, large-scale demonstrations have broken out in many places around the world due to natural disasters."
After some understanding, Tan Yue understood the whole story of this news.
In recent years, the frequency of natural disasters around the world has increased: droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms, tsunamis, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions.
Hundreds of millions of people have been displaced by disasters.
There was a clip in the news where people at the march were interviewed. They believed that God was punishing mankind, asking mankind to reflect more and stop infringing on nature, otherwise the number of disasters would increase.
An idea flashed in Tan Yue's mind. He read the entire news report attentively and carefully, while constantly thinking about the direction of the new movie in his mind.
"Yes!" Tan Yue lightly snapped his fingers, and the word 'God' brought him inspiration.
A classic movie comes to mind, certainly not a disaster movie.
Everyone's destiny seems to have been arranged from the moment they are born.
When I was a child, I always wanted to grow up quickly so that I could do whatever I wanted and fulfill my wild dreams.
But when I grow up, I realize that everything is completely different from what I expected. Various reasons such as work and family will become constraints in pursuing my dreams. Gradually, I will curl up in my own comfort zone and dare not come out. Those who once were
Dreams are also forgotten and lost.
Thereby accepting one's own destiny and accepting the reality of life that cannot be changed.
But if you want to make a change, you must take this step. Tan Yue wants to express his thoughts through this movie.
The name of this movie is "The Truman Show."
A protagonist who lives completely in a surreal world. Although everything is well arranged and he can live in a comfortable environment forever, in the end he still takes that step to pursue his dream and find his own world.
Tan Yue closed his eyes slightly and recalled the plot of the movie.
The film tells that Truman is an extremely ordinary person, except for some strange experiences - his first girlfriend suddenly disappeared, his father who drowned suddenly seemed to reappear in front of him, and he and most people in their thirties...
Year-old American men are no different.
This made him feel deeply disappointed. He also tried to leave the place where he had lived for many years, but was unable to do so due to various reasons.
To be continued...
