Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

Big Star Star Starts at Film Academy Chapter 309

Han Fei secretly white eyes, worthy of coming back from the rice study, this sounds so annoying, well, good shit is hard to eat and good words are hard to hear, Han Fei must admit, she is right.

In fact, it was also the fact that these years went too smoothly, the company's annual profits were at the forefront of the industry, so much so that everyone ignored the management problems.

This was also related to the fact that Han Fei hadn't brought in any capital, otherwise, this problem would have been discovered long ago, capital doesn't believe in creativity, they only believe in the system.

So at the regular meeting in September, Han Fei summoned all the principals of the company and officially appointed Li Yannan as the company's CFO and administrative manager to start sorting out the company's internal structure.

"Hey, Han, I don't think you guys are right, you're not going to start a husband and wife shop, are you?" Jiang Qinghou glanced at Li Yannan who was walking out of the meeting room after the meeting was adjourned.

"Roll the calf." After Han Fei laughed and scolded, he squared off, "Everyone in the crew under your hand, keep an eye on them, don't hit the gun, or don't blame me for being rude."

Jiang Qinghou and the others were stunned, originally thinking that this was to arrange a position for Li Yannan, but now it seemed that Han Fei was playing for real? But is this girl really okay? Wasn't she a translator before?

The company soon introduced the relevant administrative regulations, in fact, compared to the majority of companies in the circle is still considered lenient, but indeed some of the old employees are used to idle, suddenly with a "tight-fisted spell" natural heart big unhappy.

It's also a good idea to use a little bit of your own personal information to help you understand what's going on.

After seeing Han Fei's attitude, this group of old employees had also become a lot more honest.

In fact, we all know in our hearts that it is basically impossible to find a company with better benefits than "Bird TV" in the circle, and although they scolded Li Yanan for her "extermination" and so on, no one dared to confront her on the surface, just to have a little fun. Just.

With Li Yanan in the middle of the management, Han Fei can also focus on content creation, from the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" can be seen, no matter whether it is Hollywood or rice, are the same raccoon, talk about freedom and equality, but in fact it is just a superficiality, once you have a threat to them, they will only give you two ways. either go along for the ride, join them, or be ostracized.

They're just too arrogant, too self-confident, and they think that Han Fei, a bunch of fledgling youngsters, would be proud to join Hollywood, just like all the film professionals of that age in the world who grew up watching Hollywood movies as kids and then were inspired to become a director or an actor or a cameraman or whatever.

See, how inspiring? In Han Fei's opinion, Chinese films are not inferior to Hollywood films in terms of content, and what they lack is only the industrialization process.

As long as they make up for this shortcoming, Chinese films will definitely be able to compete with Hollywood films. What Han Fei said on his talk show about conquering the North American audience with the purest oriental elements is definitely not a joke.

Of course, it's very, very hard to do so. "Wandering Earth" is a good example of how deep the cultural barrier between East and West is. ......

So what kind of subject matter can hit the ground running and quickly gain acceptance with Western audiences?

"Realistic subject matter?" Jiang Qinghou's brow furrowed.

Wen Qi's right hand turned the pen so far that he could see a virtual shadow before finally writing on the paper, "Backward and stupid."

In fact, in the 1990s, many Chinese films were able to win awards at the three major film festivals, partly because they were indeed artistic, but mostly because they were made under the common theme of "backward China".

This is very much in line with the perception of Westerners of Huaxia at that time, even until 2008, the Olympic Games, some countries' delegations came to Huaxia, actually special air consignment of mineral water, the reason was actually afraid that Huaxia is too backward, no qualified drinking water.

It can be imagined, at that time in the eyes of the western countries in what kind of image of China, which to be frank is more than half of the credit of those award-winning movies, because many people have never been to China, they can only through the film and television works to understand a country.

This is the importance of cultural export.

After a succession of proposed topics were denied, everyone stopped talking and just stared at Han Fei, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Han Fei pondered for a long time and finally took the pen and paper in Wen Qi's hand and wrote two words at the beginning.

Chapter 450 Hero.

"Hero?" Jiang Light Marquis and the others were a bit confused, holding back two words like that?

However, Han Fei's next stroke was much smoother.

"During the late Warring States period, there was a lot of warfare and the rise of many warlords. Among the Seven Great Powers, only the state of Qin was dominant. In order to unify the world, the King of Qin launched a war of conquest against the remaining six states. The king's ambition aroused the strong discontent of the warriors of all the vassals, who waited for the opportunity to assassinate the king. The three assassins of Zhao, Changkong, Broken Sword and Flying Snow, were the most feared by the King of Qin. The King of Qin ordered: whoever can apprehend the assassin, Changkong, can come 20 paces closer to the King of Qin; whoever kills Residual Sword and Flying Snow, can come 10 paces closer to the King of Qin, and be crowned with an official ......"

The more one looked down, the more the blood of Jiang Qinghou and the others boiled, the Qin Dynasty, a glimpse of China's history, although it existed for only 14 years, it had an extremely far-reaching impact on China's history.

Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, is known for his martial arts skills.

However, in Han Fei's script, even such a great hero like the King of Qin has his moments of fear.

"Three years ago, Broken Sword Flying Snow joined forces to attack the palace, and three thousand iron armor could not even stop ......." Seeing such a description, Jiang Qinghou and the others only felt the hot blood stirring in their chests, unable to calm down for a long time.

Huaxia men, who hadn't had dreams of martial arts? Who hasn't fantasized about a fast and furious sword in the world? The Ancient Emperor, the Great Qin Shi Huang, was actually made to tremble by two assassins, so what kind of courage was that?

"How about this story?" Han Fei stopped writing.

When Jiang Qinghou and the others saw that later, Nameless stabbed out with the hilt of his sword and then generously died, they inevitably sighed in unison, feeling both unexpected and reasonable.

"Wonderful, nothing to say, this story is simple, but it's profoundly meaningful and memorable." Jiang Qinghou naturally both liked the story.

Wen Qi and the others also had the same expression.

Han Fei's heart was also quite a bit saddened when "Hero" was released to domestic curses, yet unbeknownst to him, it was the only mainland film that truly conquered the North American audience.

The box office record of 53 million US dollars was never broken by any mainland film director after that, and we should know that "Hero" was released in 2004.

As for Ang Lee? Sorry, Ang Lee's films are very good, but his thinking has long been westernized, and although his films may have an oriental outlook, their core is western, which is why they are often welcomed by western audiences.

It's no exaggeration to say that the National Director was the first director to bring a domestic commercial film to North American audiences.

The main reason why the box office of "Hero" in North America is only $53 million is because the distributor, Miramax, is a typical rogue company that not only squeezed out the original competitor Columbia with a high buyout price, but also refused to pay for the buyout.

Afterwards, because they had too many films in their hands, they kept the "hero" on ice for two years before releasing it in North America, and many North American audiences had already seen the DVD, which directly affected the "hero" box office.

And in the Oscar campaign on the "hero" was also abandoned, to know that the "Oscar" award works, will spend a lot of "public relations costs", but the "hero" but not a dime, and naturally, the best foreign language film Oscar honor.

This has become a nightmare for Mr. Kuo, who has been to the Oscars several times, but has found that the only film that has a real chance of winning an Oscar is his "Hero".

Compared to the original "Hero", Han Fei's advantage is obvious, more budget, more visual effects, and better distribution channels, he has absolute confidence that this new version of "Hero" will definitely surpass the original, with this pure oriental elements of the work to conquer the North American audience.

Now that everyone has agreed on the theme, the next step is to fill out the entire script, with Han Fei providing only the main plot and some of the dialogue.

The majority of the audiences at that time thought that the story of the assassination of the King of Qin by Jing Ke had been changed completely by Master Guo.

As a result, some of the audience didn't understand the story until years later when they saw it again and realized they had missed a good film.

The rating of "Hero" was only 6.4 at the beginning, but after more than ten years, it has risen to 7.4, so we can imagine what kind of force can make the audience's perception of "Hero" so different in ten years.

Perhaps some of the works themselves transcend the times, as in the case of "Journey to the West", which was met with a lot of curses when it was released, but made a splendid achievement for Master Xing, followed by "Journey to the West", which had such a high box office, it is hard to say that it does not have the sentiment of "owing a movie ticket to Journey to the West".

Fortunately, the audience's appreciation level has improved a lot compared to more than a decade ago, which is why Han Fei feels that this is the golden age of Chinese language films.

He has always been convinced that the rise of Chinese movies is definitely not due to any bullshit market boom, but rather the audience is rising, they are the ones who are pushing back the progress of Chinese movies, and they are also the ones who are paying out of their own pockets to push Chinese movies forward step by step with difficulty.

After a month and a half of polishing, the first version of the script was released, and after the first submission for review, the crowd was back in the conference room to discuss the choice of actors.

"I think the role of Nameless is better for you, Old Han." Jiang Qinghou said.

The crowd also looked at Han Fei.

In fact, Han Fei was also considering this matter, in the beginning, in fact, the State Master also considered the North American market when casting, at that time, among the Chinese male stars, success and Li Lianjie was naturally the most vociferous, box office appeal is self-evident, in the end, the State Master took into account the image temperament, and finally chose Li Lianjie.

And Han Fei can't have a Jet Li available, now it seems, it seems that among the North American audience, his popularity is no less than the average Hollywood second and third tier stars, although most of the criticism of him, but no matter what, finally can remember his face, is better than choosing a stranger to play.

"Alright, I'll do it then." Han Fei bit his teeth.
