Chapter 243 Serious business
"Young Master, it's so boring." Yuan Quan started to humiliate silkworms again, "Can "Juno" win the Golden Bear? Can I win the Best Actress? It's all your fault, we can't even go to Berlin.
!snort."
"Haha. Just give up on this idea!" Rong Guang struck ruthlessly.
There were no heavyweight contestants at last year's three major European film festivals, allowing Rong Guang's "Sparks" to get a bargain.
This year, monsters and demons have appeared all over the place, and there are old monsters everywhere. So, it is still possible for "Juno" to win a few small awards. But heavyweight awards like the Golden Bear Award and Best Actress Award? Let's just go to sleep.
!
"Can't you coax me?" Yuan Quan widened his eyes and said dissatisfied.
"I'm not the same? I can't walk on the red carpet either?"
"..."
The little tiger was lying on the sofa, with no fluctuation in his heart. He had long been accustomed to the daily bickering between the two shit-sweepers. Fortunately, there were noble cats, otherwise the earth would be ruined by jujube pills!
"Guangzi, I heard the news that Jiang Wenchu was relying on connections and spent so much money that it almost emptied his family fortune." Yuan Quan's eyes were filled with gossipy little Miaomiao.
"Oh?" Rong Guang sneered, "Xiaoquanquan, I still suggest you change your career! What kind of actor do you want to be? Wouldn't it be nice to be a paparazzi?"
"Bah!" Yuan Quan laughed, "He is just for Liu Xiaoqing. Hey, let me ask you, are Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing still inseparable? Hehehehe."
Rong Guang knew as soon as he heard that this should be Liu Xiaoqing's tax evasion incident. Liu Xiaoqing would be arrested soon after and served in prison. It should be said that Jiang Wen's efforts were fruitless. However, facing his former lover, Jiang Wen was still relatively honest in his actions.
of.
Fortunately, I have always paid attention to paying taxes in accordance with the law, and there will never be any problems in this regard. As for Liu Xiaoqing? It is reasonable for Jiang Wen to come forward, and others should not wade into muddy waters.
"What's more, there are rumors of an affair between your Aunt Zhou and Li Yapeng. Hehehehe." Yuan Quan gloated and shook his little head.
Rongguang:→_→
Mr. Zhou has another boyfriend. Is this news?
"There seems to be something wrong with Feng Fei Lian. I heard that Zhang Baizhi tried to steal the man!"
(⊙?⊙)
"Ahem." Although this is a big drama that spans several years, and there will be Teacher Chen who will make a brilliant appearance later, isn't Xiao Quanquan too powerful? "Quanquan, are you so well-informed about the news in Hong Kong?"
"That's right." Yuan Quan said proudly, "Okay! Let's not talk about gossip, let's talk about something serious. I heard that "Big Shot" has received a lot of bad reviews. Feng Xiaogang may be unlucky, right? Hehehehe..."
"..." Rongguang has a black line on his head. Xiaoquanquan, do you have any misunderstandings about serious things? "Why is he so unlucky?"
Rong Guang was puzzled. One thing he said was that although "Big Shot" is currently widely praised and criticized in China, it is far from the level of "a flood of bad reviews". Especially more than ten years later, "Big Shot" is almost regarded as a god.
do.
The most typical one is the scene in the mental hospital, where Teacher Li Chengru said "Don't ask for the best, just ask for the most expensive"! There is a joke here - as long as you follow the words of the crazy people in "Big Shot", you will be guaranteed to be the best in more than ten years.
Can be worth tens of millions!
And in Rong Guang's eyes, from a professional perspective, Feng Xiaogang's previous works were nothing more than extended versions of sketches. His subsequent works were just extended versions of TV series. Only this movie showed the director's self-awareness and strong
His personal style. This is definitely Feng Xiaogang's masterpiece, and it has reached the master level.
Yuan Quan still showed great interest: "Young master, you don't know this? Columbia Company suffered a huge loss, and they all blame Feng Xiaogang!"
"oh!"
Regarding the behind-the-scenes footage of "Big Shot", Rong Guang knows a little bit about it.
Since China's entry into the WTO, Hollywood has deployed domestically ahead of schedule. Among them, Columbia and Warner are the most enthusiastic. Didn't Warner buy Rong Guang's "Er Lang Shen: Peach Mountain Storm" and "Spark" in a package?
By the way, I would like to introduce Warner's layout. They established China Film Warner Hengdian Film and Television Co., Ltd. The three shareholders should know it from their names. They did not produce any famous films later. The only more famous project was the later release of "Crazy Stone"
", participated in the production of "Crazy Race". In the end, Warner basically withdrew.
Warner prefers empty-handed white wolves. They usually use their own company names to invest in shares? Since the foreign devils are not willing to take advantage of them, then the country will not let them play.
In addition, Warner also has a project, which is Warner Wanda International Cinema. It is also a white wolf with nothing, and finally it involves Wanda? In anger, Wanda decided to kick out Warner and start a Wanda cinema chain on its own.
There are also some other small projects, which are not relevant here. Anyway, the situation is basically the same. Warner won a vote and finally withdrew from the mainland market.
On the contrary, Columbia is more down-to-earth. They specially established Columbia Film Company Asia and invited the famous Taiwanese filmmaker Chen Guofu to serve as the director of the production department.
You should all be familiar with Chen Guofu. His directorial masterpiece is "Two Eyes" and later "The Wind". But what he is best at is producing, and he has produced a series of excellent works.
It should be said that Chen Guofu is a very capable filmmaker. But I don’t know how he did it. Maybe he didn’t look at Feng Shui when he went out. When he was at Columbia, as long as he looked for a project, he would lose a lot of money on it?
Thanks to Chen Guofu's matchmaking, Columbia Company has been cooperating with the Huayi Brothers for a long time. Columbia Company provided real money and silver, and the Huayi Brothers finally got a victim!
So the "Big Shot" project was launched. Columbia Company invested tens of millions of dollars. As long as the overseas copyright of "Big Shot" was obtained, Huayi Brothers got the mainland distribution rights, so no matter how you calculate it, they will make a lot of money. Anyway, those tens of millions of dollars
That's enough for shooting.
However, what I didn't expect was that after receiving the completed film of "Big Shot", Columbia Pictures directly invested in it. Anyway, this data can no longer be found. It should be tens of thousands of dollars after being screened in North America, right? Basically, it is a waste of money.
Return.
After this fiasco, "Honest Man" Columbia withdrew from the mainland market. Chen Guofu also jumped to Huayi Brothers and served as the film director.
As for Feng Xiaogang? From then on, the overseas Hong Kong and Taiwan markets were basically insulated from him. The damage was also deep enough.
You know, among the three famous mainland directors, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige both have international influence. Only Feng Xiaogang has completely closed the door to him this time.
Of course, now there is another Rong Guang, who also has overseas box office appeal.
Chapter completed!
