Chapter 776: it's time

This joke is called:
"Ziyi came out at the beginning, and the national teacher went to Berlin.
Mr. Xu visits the fragrant boudoir, and Emperor Gong sweeps the couch to welcome.
There is a second wife in the family, and her heart is clear and her waist hurts.
The Dragon and Tiger will be shocked by the news. "
...
"Boom boom boom!"
"Squeak!"
At night, Xu Fei knocked on Gong Li's door.
The large suite, the living room is a bit messy, and the English teacher I've seen before is also there, and it seems to be in class. The teacher was well-measured and retired consciously.
"Just sit down, I brought tea, and I want to drink it myself."
"As for so tired?"
"As for!"
Gong Li looked tired and vomited: "-I have to watch several films every day. I have to watch it with tasks, and I can't relax at all. After watching it, I have to hold a review meeting. If you don't vote, I'm afraid it will delay others.
It's not a human thing. "
"Oh, I read you a lot of news."
"Don't mention it..."
Suddenly she became angry and raised her volume: "It's all nonsense by reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the mainland reprints it to join in the fun. What kind of Gong Li meets up with teachers, old lovers meet new friends, old lovers meet on a narrow road...
It's disgusting to mention it! You still laugh, I'm so angry! "
"I mean, it's better to take this opportunity and you two have settled."
"I can't talk about it, we have no grudges. I really don't care about him now, but people can't talk nonsense, right?"
"Boom boom boom!"
As he was talking, there was another knock on the door.
There were several people standing outside, one was Lao Song, the other was from the Locomotive Distribution Company, and two foreigners who looked strange.
"Sony classic Mr. Bernard, Mr. Barker, Mr. Allen of Locomotive."
Old Song helped introduce: "This is the mainland investor Xu, and the starring Miss Gong Li."
Bernard and Buck are the global publishing partners for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". There are 6 people present, 4 of whom are their own.
Taking a seat, Old Song said: "Director Li Yu is busy doing the later stage and has no time to participate. Let's gather today to talk about the release strategy of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."
"Okay, we are just here, we are in need of the rich experience of two of you, what do you think?" Xu Fei asked.
"It is not an ordinary foreign language film."
"It attracts the audience more than ordinary foreign language films."
"We tend to participate in film festivals, and we want the premiere to be in Cannes."
"Then Jakarta, Toronto, Reykjavik, New York, Austin...we will go to any film festival."
"It is so poetic, it not only captures the Eastern narrative style, but also contains the Western story style."
"So we believe it will succeed, it transcends cultural boundaries."
Bernard and Buck are just as vivid as talking about cross talk.
Xu Feizhen didn't know how "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, saying: "I agree with participating in the film festival. In fact, the so-called globalization is the North American market.
I would like to ask, how do you prepare for the North American market? "
"Uh……"
The two were not as confident as they were just now, and he hesitated: "The tastes of American audiences are weird, and we are often confused. After thinking of some ways, what I currently think is feasible is to package "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as a female martial arts work.
"what?"
"WHAT?"
Several people were taken aback, "What does female martial arts mean?"
"Literally, a Kung Fu movie starring a female star will be screened in female athlete groups and ballet companies first to see how they respond."
"..."
The scene was silent, and Gong Li, Lao Song, and Allen had three thick words written on their faces.
Xu Fei didn't think it was tuned, but based on the results, this promotion method was actually successful.
"Cannes Film Festival is held in May, can you participate?"
"Yes, otherwise L'Oreal will also invite me." Gong Li said.
"Well, this year you will be more affected, and help promote it."
When they agreed, Bernard and Buck went to work, and Allen left.
Lao Song stayed behind, worked out a script and said: "This is Chen Desen's book. I wrote it last year. I was looking for people everywhere to invest 68 million. People in the circle laughed at him as a lunatic."
"What movie is that expensive?" Gong Liqi said.
"First, he wanted to find a bunch of first-tier stars; second, he wanted to build a 1906 Hong Kong Central. The other bosses ran away as soon as they heard it, and now I have them."
Lao Song pushed forward with four big characters: "October Victoria City".
As early as 1999, this script took shape, Wei, which means Victoria Harbour. Later, at the suggestion of Su Zhaobin (the director of "Sword Rain"), it was changed to a besieged city.
In 2001, Chen Desen found an investor, and the cast list was: Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Liming, Aaron Kwok, Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung, Tony Leung, Li Jiaxin, Tsang Zhiwei...
Preparations have already been made. After SARS, the investor committed suicide.
It has been delayed for 10 years before shooting started in 2009.
There are various evaluations of Sun Yat-sen now, so I will not discuss them. Speaking of this movie alone, it is very suitable for making a domestic blockbuster, with a gathering of celebrities, a good-looking play, a decent literary drama, and a positive theme.
Even Gong Li understood and said, "Oh, do you plan to do the second part of the five-year plan?"
"It's not that I think, it's Song Ge's compassion, helping me. Is that right Song Ge?"
Old Song ignored him lazily.
"I, you, China Film, and the Forbidden City have invested in the four parties and replaced some mainland actors. The city is built in Xiangshan. If I go to the city government to make a fortune, it will not cost 68 million.
But we call it, call it a 100 million giant, an epic blockbuster! "
He said and looked at Gong Li. Gong Li had become a social animal under his hand, and said in a panic, "I haven't finished filming "A World Without Thieves"!"
"You don't need this, you take a break for now."
"temporarily?"
"There are more important scenes that need you."
Lao Song had some thoughts, and asked: "If you use Hong Kong directors for two dramas in a row, will there be criticism in the Mainland?"
"No way, how can there be commercial film directors in the mainland? My five-year plan is not a savior, but a transitional stage, but you are right. You should consider this aspect..."
Teacher Xu thought for a while, Zhang Guoshi had to make arrangements, the third part of the five-year plan!
The two goods occupied Gong Li's room to chat, and it took a long time to get out.
Lao Song said again: "Zhou Xingxing is planning to shoot "Shaolin Football". He is now having a stalemate with Xiangtai, and Xiangtai is not allowed to invest."
"What do you think?"
"It has to be done."
"Then do it! By the way, don't look for Zhao Weiyan."
Ok?
Old Song was inexplicable. He only felt that Mr. Xu's metaphysics was online and he didn't want to see this person. He secretly said pitifully, and said: "Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang also have a script, the story of police and underworld undercover each other.
No one voted, but I think it can. "
"Then do it!"
Xu Fei repeated it and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid of you, the timing is rare, Hong Kong movies depend on you!"
Hiss!
Old Song shook for a moment, and understood the meaning of the words, it was time for Sunshine to become a leader!
At that time, I thought I was a big devil, who could think that there was a big devil standing behind him. Alas, three years and three years, and finally no longer need to be an undercover agent!
