Chapter 275 Titanic(1/2)
275 Titanic
The film festival is a huge project, and Chen Fei will definitely not be able to do it alone. It requires a team, and it is a professional and super team. So the role Chen Fei can play is nothing more than raising a big flag, shaking the flag and shouting, forming a team, and becoming a leader.
If this matter is accomplished, it requires the strength of many parties. A professional review team is required, the Central Film Academy and the General Political Department take the lead, and the specific operation of the film festival is Chen Fei hopes to establish a special organization. In addition, if this matter is accomplished, it also requires the strong support of the local government.
Therefore, this is definitely not something he can do alone, but he can use his current fame and influence to call on everyone to do this together.
His proposal quickly received support from many people and departments. As soon as the capital government departments received his application, they immediately approved it, and they were willing to support it with all their strength.
This is actually easy to understand. If this matter is done, as soon as the film festival is held every year, how many filmmakers and fans are coming, it doesn’t matter that the film festival has increased its influence on the city. The income alone will be enough for the government to have fun for a while;
In addition to receiving support from relevant departments, many filmmakers also expressed their support. His initiative was made public in the media and immediately received calls from countless familiar or unfamiliar people. Everyone expressed only one meaning. If Chen Fei really started this film festival, everyone would support it unconditionally.
"Chen Fei, when will your film festival be held? Then I will make a movie to participate in the exhibition?"
His good friend Jia Ke even said something harsh.
"It's probably March!" Chen Fei replied.
"Okay, March isn't it? Then I'll start preparing now, it's okay to hurry up!" Jia Ke said quickly.
Chen Fei really wanted to set this film festival in March.
March is the off-season, and the box office revenue is relatively weak. Setting the film festival at this time will have a certain boost to the Chinese movie box office market.
Moreover, in March, the flowers are blooming, green and the scenery is the most beautiful, just suitable for travel. At this time, attracting movie fans is also a promotion for the local tourism industry.
In addition, he likes spring and hates the cold winter and the cold windy winter. He just wants to lie in the bed and not get up, so it is more appropriate for this film festival to be scheduled in March.
However, this is just a preliminary plan, and it still needs to be discussed at the specific time, because this kind of thing is not up to him alone.
Once the idea of the film festival was proposed, it soon received support from many filmmakers and relevant departments, and everyone highly agreed, so the relevant working institutions were quickly formed, and relevant charters and projects were established one after another.
So soon, a major task fell on Chen Fei's head.
The proposal of the film festival has received support and approval from many Chinese filmmakers. Everyone said that they would definitely participate at that time, but this is just Chinese filmmakers. If a film festival wants to become stronger and bigger, it must be international. Therefore, how to attract the interest and attention of international filmmakers and let them participate in the exhibition is more important.
Chen Fei’s mission is to personally negotiate with these well-known international filmmakers, invite them to join, and invite them to attend the film festival at that time.
"Xu Yun, please list me with the most famous film directors in the world today!"
Chen Fei turned his head and said to Xu Yun, who was wearing a snow-white down jacket. The wide and slightly bloated down jacket covered her figure and lines, but it also made her skin look whiter and more delicate.
After hearing Chen Fei's words, Xu Yun nodded: "Okay, Brother Fei, I'll give it to you in ten minutes."
She still has one thing to deal with, so it takes ten minutes to get the result.
Chen Fei did not urge him, but leaned on the chair and thought.
If you want to make the film festival awesome, the best way is to let famous directors around the world bring their works to the exhibition. As long as half of the well-known directors in the world can come, the festival will be successful. Then do the details well and do other work well. It will be a natural success.
But the trouble is, why do those well-known directors come to your film festival?
For example, Chen Fei, if there is a filmmaker in Nanyue at this time, and said, "Brother Fei, come to participate in our film festival, we also want to hold an international film festival. What would Chen Fei do? That would be to ignore it and ignore it. So, it is conceivable that when he invites other filmmakers, they will definitely have the same attitude.
So, how can we make people agree to participate in the exhibition? This is the big problem.
After thinking about it, there is only one way, that is, cooperate with others and give the benefits first. Others may not be able to look at your film festival, but no one will give up the interests unless the interests are too small and a little sesame, otherwise, no one will give up.
He was thinking, and Xu Yun walked in, his high heels were crisp and rhythmic.
"Brother Fei, the list you want!" She handed over a piece of paper.
Chen Fei took it and looked at it. The above was a relatively well-known filmmaker and film director in the world, and the first one was Meilong.
This list is not ranked.
There are many great filmmakers in the world. If you want to rank them in a ranking, and rank the most powerful ones at the front and the back, it is impossible to do it, and it is not scientific, so you can only circle the famous ones.
The first director Chen Fei saw was Meilong.
He had no direct contact with Meilong, but the two were not strangers. Before, when Chen Fei's "The First Blood" was released, Meilong's air combat film was also released, and the two even had a head-on fight. In the end, Chen Fei won, but so far, the two had never had face-to-face contact.
Mei Long asked his subordinates to call Chen Fei and said that after hearing about Chen Fei, he also withdrew from the Tokyo Film Festival and stopped participating in the exhibition.
This is their second contact.
But the real face-to-face has not yet.
"Meilong?" Chen Fei frowned and fell into deep thought.
Meilong has a very big influence in the United States. He can rank in the first tier. At most two or three people can be ranked alongside him. Moreover, this guy has a very big influence in the international field. Unlike another well-known director, that guy doesn't like socializing. He lives in seclusion except filming and does not come into contact with outsiders. Therefore, although he is very well-known, his influence is smaller. But Meilong is different. He likes to make friends and likes to give lectures everywhere, so it has influenced many people. If he can agree to participate in the Beijin International Film Festival, then... others are afraid that they will follow him automatically.
So, first of all, we must take Meilong.
But Meilong is a man with a arrogant heart and talent, so it is not easy to impress him.
And Meilong's movie style...
However, no matter how difficult the filmmaker is, it is nothing to do with Chen Fei. He has countless movie scripts and creativity in his mind. No matter how tricky the director is, he can find works that suit his appetite.
After thinking for a while, Chen Fei knew what works to impress Meilong.
His plan was to write a movie script, take this script to find Meilong to cooperate, and then promise him a series of scripts to use it as bait to catch him and join the Beijin International Film Festival.
Although Meilong is arrogant, he really likes movies. As long as it is something he likes, he can even pay a price that ordinary people can unimaginably. It is said that in order to persuade an actress to film his scene, he visited him three times, and even went to the actor's house to make breakfast for her. Such a person can easily handle it as long as he shows his works.
Everything was ready, Chen Fei said to Xu Yun: "Xu Yun, help me contact Meilong, and then book a flight ticket. Let's visit him!"
"Okay Brother Fei!" Xu Yun nodded.
Soon, Chen Fei and Xu Yun flew directly to the United States and visited Meilong.
Meilong attached great importance to his arrival and personally held a dinner for him, but none of these matters. For Chen Fei, the most important point was to take Meilong.
"This is a new script I wrote. I took a list of directors from countries around the world and found that only you can shoot this great movie!"
After a greeting, Chen Fei took out a script and handed it to Meilong.
Before leaving, Chen Fei asked Xu Yun to communicate with the other party and explained his purpose, saying that he wanted to ask Meilong to help make a movie, but Meilong did not agree, but did not refuse.
Titanic?
Mei Long took the script and looked at the name of the movie on the title page, with some confusion. Then he looked up slightly, his eyes emanated from the gap between his glasses and his eyes, and looked at Chen Fei, but soon he withdrew his gaze and continued to read the script.
That's right, the script Chen Fei gave to Meilong is "Titanic"
"Titanic" is a romantic film produced by 20th Century Fox Films and Paramount Pictures. It is directed by James Cameron and starred by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
The film is set in 1912 when the Titanic cruise ship hit a rock and sank while its virgin set sail. It tells the touching story of two people in different classes of poor painter Jack and aristocratic daughter Ruth abandoning worldly prejudice and falling in love. In the end, Jack gave up his life opportunity to Ruth.
The film was released in the United States on December 19, 1997, was released in mainland China on April 3, 1998, and was re-screened in mainland China on April 10, 2012 in 3D version.
This movie caused a huge sensation after it was released, and he won the awards in vain. He won almost every award.
In "Titanic", business is the left arm, and love is the right arm. The love expressed in the film is not limited by the gap between the rich and the poor. It values love at first sight and desire burns instantly. This is the universal value of love that is universal and universal. Even Chinese audiences are happy to accept it and enjoy the pleasure of others. After "Titanic", the love film is like a crossing the river, but whenever its theme music sounds, you still feel that its classic status is difficult to replace.
Moreover, the big ship of "Titanic" carries two things, love and disaster. It is not deep at all, so it can be seen and moved by transnational, cross-age, transgender and cross-cultural.
In the current popular sayings, the love story between Jack and Ruth is how a loser defeats the rich and handsome man and achieves a unforgettable love. Therefore, even an old film, it is very close to the psychology and desires of the current audience. Love without hierarchical concepts and love that transcends secular prejudice can be used to tear-jerking in any era.
At the same time, the things that are most likely to highlight in the depths of human nature in the face of disasters are beautiful and ugly, not to mention that this is such a huge catastrophe a hundred years ago. There is a desire for life and a fear of death. The movie shows that women and children leave first, and men die calmly like gentlemen.
Mei Long had just read the script halfway, and immediately raised his head, looked at Chen Fei with a burning look and said, "Chen, I like this script, I filmed it!"
"This is the theme song and other episodes I created for the movie!" Chen Fei handed over another book.
my -heart-will -go- on?
Mei Long recited the name and his eyes slightly condensed.
After a moment, he raised his head and said to the assistant standing on the side: "Go and call Charlie!"
He is not from music and is not very good at music, so he can't tell whether this song is good or bad, but he has a very powerful musician under his command.
After a while, a short black-haired man walked in. He looked a little ugly and very rude. After walking in, he did not say hello to Chen Fei, but snatched the information from Meilong and started reading it. After reading it for a few seconds, his eyes lit up. He raised his head and looked at Chen Fei in surprise, looking in disbelief. After a while, he continued to lower his head and started to look from the beginning, and hummed in his heart while watching.
every- night -in -my- dreams
i -see- you,i -feel- you
that- is- how -i- know-you -go- on
far- across -the -distance
and -spaces- between- us
you- have- orge -to -show- you- go- on
The more he watched, the more he liked it, the more excited he was. When he reached the climax of the song, he couldn't help but sang it directly.
"my- heart -will- go- on" is an excellent musical work with exquisite musical structure and the tone of the song is mainly in e major, and the chord changes of the complex song are "c?m-b-a-b".
In music, the Irish tin whistle with a strong national charm is melodious and graceful in the song;
The melody of "my -heart -will-go -on" is very lyrical from the initial smoothness to the passionate, to the lingering climax, to the end of the heart-wrenching tragedy. The song in just four minutes is actually a condensed version of the entire film of "Titanic".
"my will go on" has achieved commercial success worldwide and topped the singles rankings in many countries: it won the European singles chart for 17 weeks; Switzerland singles chart for 15 weeks; Germany and France singles chart for 13 weeks; Netherlands and Sweden singles chart for 11 weeks; Denmark, Italy, Norway and Valonia singles chart for 10 weeks; Flanders singles chart for 7 weeks; Ireland singles chart for 6 weeks. "my will go
In the United States, "my -heart- will- go -on" won the No. 1 list of the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart in the first week of its release and won the weekly championship again. Due to restrictions in the United States, "my- heart-will- go- on" only launched 690,000 copies in the country. Later, he won the "Golden Single" award certified by the American Recording Industry Association for 500,000 singles. In addition, his digital music sales exceeded one million copies in the United States and won the "Platinum Single" award. The song also won the Billboard Top 100 Music Broadcasting Chart in the United States for 10 weeks and the Billboard Top 100 Hot Singles Chart in the United States for 2 weeks.
This shows the excellence of this song.
After singing, Charlie was still unsatisfied. He closed his eyes and stood there, immersing himself in the artistic conception of the song.
