Chen Qi reached into the water and stirred it.
He did not delay it intentionally. On the first day of his arrival in Hong Kong, he accepted an exclusive interview with China Youth Daily and said: "It was a complete misunderstanding. I just heard that CCTV was going to make a TV series and thought of the movie, so I wrote an article.
Dongfang Company is busy with business and has no time to film "A Dream of Red Mansions". This requires at least a 3-5 year cycle, which requires extremely meticulous preparation and patience. Only a few major studios have the strength to do it, but we can't do it."
He waved his sleeves and ran away, leaving the ground barking.
Wang Fulin broke out in a cold sweat and was frightened to death by Chen Qi. Fortunately, he refused to film. Director Wang has a very reserved temperament and is secretly determined to make the TV series a success.
Let’s just talk about Beijing Film Studio.
Wang Yang's retirement is getting closer and closer, and he only has a few months left.
The old man walks around the factory with his hands behind his back every day, looking here and there, but rarely makes specific decisions, especially long-term things. He has made a decision now, and when the new factory director takes office, he still doesn't know what will happen.
But today, he rarely convened a meeting with factory leaders to study "Dream of Red Mansions".
"The studio has long had an intention to film "Dream of Red Mansions" and has discussed it several times. We all agreed that it should be filmed. The key is whether it should be filmed by our generation or by the next generation.
Since there has never been a conclusion, "Dream of Red Mansions" has been put on hold. Everyone knows the recent excitement..."
As soon as Wang Yang said this, Zhang Erzan asked: "Where is Xiao Chen now?"
“Going to Hong Kong again!”
"He ran away after mixing it up?"
"That kid is so virtuous, he wants to get involved in everything he sees, so let's not talk about him!"
Wang Yang continued: "Although Dongfang Company said it would not film "Dream of Red Mansions", I think it also gave us a wake-up call. Everyone in the literary and art circles knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" is difficult. If you don't dare, I don't dare, then what?"
When can we see a real "Dream of Red Mansions" movie?
Are we really leaving it to the next generation to film? Then what will people think of us in the future?"
"So you support filming?"
"My personal attitude is that "Dream of Red Mansions" will be filmed, and it will be filmed by our Beijing Film Studio!"
"..."
Zhang Erzan paused and said: "Lao Wang, let me be honest. Now that you have made a decision, Hu Qiming may have different opinions. Moreover, the preparation of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a long process, so there is no rush.
We can first find some red experts to demonstrate and study the script, and it doesn’t cost much money. Once everyone is here, we can discuss it intensively and decide whether to film it or not."
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"We also want to film "Dream of Red Mansions". Everyone wants to film "Dream of Red Mansions", but there are too many problems. It's best to unify our opinions and avoid internal disunity."
"You can discuss it with a red expert first..."
Wang Yang nodded and added: "The filming period of "Dream of Red Mansions" must be very long. The big directors in the studio are all old and may not be able to support it. Xie Tielia is still young. If it is to be filmed, I support him as the director."
"Well, Xie Tieli can do it!"
"He is only 59 years old, at his peak creative period!"
"If "Dream of Red Mansions" is really filmed, it will definitely be a jewel in the crown of Beijing Film Studio!"
Everyone became excited as they talked. Those who make movies are all literary and artistic. "Dream of Red Mansions" has a special status in their hearts. Even if they haven't seen it, they would still look up to it, unlike Li Shaohong...
Chen Qi occupied the land in Rong Ning Mansion because he was afraid that Beijing Film Studio would not film anymore.
Now several people have initially reached an agreement and are very inclined to take photos.
………………
Hong Kong film scene last year.
"Five Lucky Stars" took in 23 million at the box office, and Cheng Long's "Plan A" took in 19.23 million. However, this film hit 2 billion at the box office in Japan, officially establishing Cheng Long as a superstar.
Six leftist films entered the top ten, which was even stronger than the year before.
Needless to say, the films produced by New Art City, including Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​hit the market one after another. Only Huang Baiming filmed "Yin Yang" under the New Art City brand. The box office exceeded 10 million, but it did not enter the top ten.
The other two spots are for "E.T." and Legendary Pictures' "Seven Days of Love."
At the beginning of this year, Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" won the Spring Festival championship with 19 million, so I won't go into details.
This year's leftist film list mainly includes "The Working Emperor", "Mirage", "Happy Ghost 2", "Fatal Delivery", "Xin Zha Junior Sister", and a Christmas blockbuster prepared by Chen Qi.
On the Legendary Pictures side, there are "Mr. Zombie" and "The Wrong Ride".
Chen Qi has not worked in vain in the past few years, and he has recruited many talents to help him solve his problems. He does not have to do everything himself when it comes to movies. He does not do everything in detail, and only makes his own key films every year.
He has two big goals for this year:
Completely kill Xinyi City and let Princess Jin disintegrate!
Let freedom always come to an end!
…
Clear Water Bay Film Set.
As soon as Chen Qi came back, he called Zhuang Cheng and asked about the situation of the two dramas. While they were chatting, Shi Nan rushed in angrily: "Why haven't you found an assistant yet? I have something for you!"
She put down a box and left in a hurry.
Chen Qi opened it casually, yo!
I said a few words in a hurry and hung up the phone.
There is a vinyl record and a tape in the box. The cover shows an innocent girl with short hair, wearing a white skirt and swinging on a swing. It is Priscilla Chan. There is also a line of words printed on it: Everyone has a dream!
This is Priscilla Chan's debut album.
When albums are released in Hong Kong, they are all released on vinyl and tape.
Chen Qi did not listen to the song immediately, but called Liang Dexian of Gold Medal Records and asked: "I received the album, when will it be released? Next week, I will be back in time. Are there any promotional activities?"
"Singer promotions don't have as many extra steps as movies. They mainly rely on TV, radio, and on-site autograph signings. You know TV better than I do. Radio relies on fans' demand."
"Tell me carefully!"
Liang Dexian Balabala said something to the effect that when a new album is released, it will be promoted on the radio. The radio station will judge the popularity of the song based on the number of listeners' requests and feedback. If the popularity is high, the radio station will take the initiative to recommend it.
If the popularity is very high, then Radio Television Hong Kong has a selection called "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs", which is the most authoritative music award in Hong Kong. If you can be selected into it, it proves that the singer is indeed popular.
"Is it evaluated once a year?"
"Yes, the awards are given in January every year, and this year's has ended."
"What are the rules?"
"Well, it has a very complicated selection process, with weekly..."
Liang Dexian continued to talk, Chen Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he slapped the table. It's so complicated, isn't it just for rankings?
In an instant, it dawned on him that this was a familiar job!
"We will study it in detail, but you should stay put for now. By the way, where are the albums of Zhang Xueyou, Lin Yilian, and Huang Kaiqin?"
"It is also under production. Priscilla Chan will be given priority as per your instructions. In fact, TVB also has a Golden Melody Award, but Priscilla Chan debuted on ATV. Unless she formally signs a singer contract with TVB, she won't be able to get on TVB."
"Yes, I understand. I will go find you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi walked around the room and suddenly felt happy: It's so wise to get the fans club out first! This will come in handy.
Chapter completed!
