Become a dramatist from today

The next day, Huang Baiyou and Yu Mo both went to the Daydream Pictures headquarters, but their purposes were different.

"Director Yu, how long will post-production take?" Chu Yuan asked.

When chatting on weekdays, Chu Yuan would call him Lao Yu, and when talking about serious business, he would call him Dao Yu.

"August," Yu Mo estimated, "it will be completed in late August."

Yu Mo asked tentatively, "Director Chu, can the movie be released on Christmas?"

Christmas time? Chu Yuan smiled and wanted to pursue the title of "King of Christmas"?

"I haven't asked in theory," Chu Yuan said, "But didn't you say that the film should be registered for the three major European film festivals?"

"No problem. I will finish filming in August and register for the Venice Film Festival in September. The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival will be held on November 9. If I am lucky enough to win, it will be just enough for publicity." Yu Mo explained.

"Then I would like to congratulate Yu Daoqi on his victory." Chu Yuan said.

"Bangbang——" The secretary knocked on the door.

Yu Mo also left wisely, leaving the secretary in the office who was reporting.

"Director Chu, that foreigner is here again, and he is hugging the sofa in the hall, saying he will not leave until he can see him."

"..." Chu Yuan put down her phone and rubbed her forehead. How could a Frenchman be so shameless?

"Invite Mr. Gary to come." Chu Yuan said.

Gary Lyon was well-dressed, with a three-piece suit, a close-fitting cut, and styling cream on his hair. It was hard to imagine that this guy was the guy the secretary said was cheating on the sofa in the lobby.

"Ms. Chu, you are beautiful again." Gary said.

"..." Chu Yuan's head hurt hearing this poor Chinese, "Mr. Gary, stop showing off about the Chinese you just learned. I also said that "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" does not meet the standards of our artists."

What kind of movie would you say "The Killer Is Not Too Cold"?

Action, drama, or crime? It doesn’t work in all three aspects.

The most important thing is investment. The total investment is only 20 million US dollars, which is an absolutely small cost.

The script wasn't very good, the characters weren't very good, and the cast wasn't very good. Chu Yuan really couldn't find any reason to take over the filming.

"No, no, no." Gary was so excited that he even spoke French. After calming down for a while, he continued to speak in English, "I wrote the killer character Leon Lee based on Mr. Standing."

"Mr. Standing has a gentle personality in "M. Butterfly" and decisive killing in "John Wick", so if you think about it, Leon Lee must be Mr. Standing." Gary opened his mouth.

Written based on Boss Huang? Chu Yuan didn’t believe it, but compared to John Lee, Leon Lee, the killer, was too ordinary.

"I'm sorry, this salary, as well as the conditions of Columbia Pictures' main investment, do not meet..." Chu Yuan was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Ms. Chu!" Gary suddenly began to bow at 90 degrees, "The remuneration can be negotiated. Everything about the main filming is negotiable. I can't make the decision on the main investment company, but we can give dividends. I think Mr. Standing gets 10%. There is no problem in sharing the box office dividends.”

Ten percent, good guy, this is a ratio that only superstars can get in Hollywood.

For movies like "John Wick" that are highly tied to individuals, the second Qin Xing only gave 15% of the box office dividend.

"Ms. Chu, please consider this film again. With Mr. Standing joining, it will definitely be a good film." After speaking, Gary bowed again and asked.

No, no, what are you doing by learning other people's traditional neon crafts? Chu Yuan stood up and said, "Mr. Gary, can you tell me why?"

Something doesn't feel right.

"Because Mr. Leon Livestantin is the one." Gary started talking a lot about what, besides John Lee, is another classic killer image and what will conquer Europe.

With his head hurting from the thought, Chu Yuan said, "Mr. Gary, I will show the movie script to Mr. Standing, but Mr. Standing is my immediate boss. I can't interfere with whether it will work or not."

Gary couldn't stop jumping out with thanks, and handed the script to Chu Yuan at the same time.

Why did Chu Yuan change her mind? She was willing to show the script to Huang Baiyou, because she thought that a director who could be so shameless and keep applying again and again even if he was rejected was a special person.

The scripts written by people with some skills are worth reading. Chu Yuan doesn't want to miss out on a good script. Besides, Boss Huang has a very vicious vision.

Gary Lyon left the building and took a look back. He was betting on the honor of France and would shoot the work, no matter what difficulties he encountered.

The hotel he opened for himself was not far from Daydream Pictures. At first, he sent an email invitation, but when he was rejected, Gary came to China...

The actor whom the French director has been thinking about is currently at the company's headquarters, because he has a lot to accomplish. Many things were delayed during the filming of Farewell My Concubine, and he needs to make up for it now.

"Don't you even take a break after finishing filming? Mr. Huang." The company photographer asked Zhizhi.

"You must take a break. Shooting a good show is like entering another person's life. It is very tiring." Huang Baiyou said with a smile, "But before I take a break, I like to settle all the things I owe."

Now that I have said that, let’s get started. Zhizhi started shooting. Five authorized photos of the three endorsed brands, as well as two recordings, all need to be completed today.

The task is not easy...

I won’t go into details about the specific shooting. Anyway, Huang Baiyou was paid to do things and was very conscientious.

It was already after nine o'clock when I got home, and I had to hold an impromptu video conference.

The content of the meeting was about the new works of seven directors signed by the company this year, and the minor problems that arose during the second round of screening.

Before the meeting ended for more than half an hour, Chu Yuan said, "Boss Huang, if Farewell My Concubine can win the Golden Lion Award for Best Actor, then Boss Huang will become the only double Best Actor contestant in the top three European movies in China."

"You haven't even written your horoscope yet, don't talk about it." Huang Baiyou said.

Speaking of which, this year's Cannes Film Festival invited him to serve as a judge, but he declined because he had no time. Huang Baiyou has been "allergic" to this since the Tokyo Film Festival.

Post-production of the film was completed in August, and the scheduled release information was released online.

It doesn't matter this hair, I just finished it,

Sina Entertainment: "Farewell My Concubine is scheduled to be released on Christmas Day, and there are five movies that have changed schedules!"

【picture】

Many mobile phones cannot see the picture content, so they deliberately convert it to the text version.

[There are a lot of official announcements from "Three Feet Green Front", but the only useful one is "More time is needed to improve the post-production work, and the new schedule has not yet been decided."

The official announcement of "Coquettish Woman and Man" has a useful sentence, "I look forward to the movie meeting the audience and letting the audience feel the sweetness of love, so I decided to meet the audience in advance, and see you there on August 8, 2027, Chinese Valentine's Day!" "

The official announcement of "Mysterious City" said, "To avoid homogenization of the film, we have decided to temporarily withdraw it. Fans and friends, please be patient and rest assured. The film will be released at the best time."

...]

What does "thousands of troops and horses avoid wandering in vain" are the contents of the five announcements!

Regardless of whether it is withdrawing or raising the file, no matter how nice the reason is, to put it bluntly, it is just that they don’t want to compete head-on with Huang Baiyou.

nonsense!

Huang Baiyou + Christmas + the second "Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea", who wouldn't be afraid of so many buffs? Anyone with a sane mind would want to withdraw.

For production companies, movies are not art, they are real business, and it is a bad idea to post losses after knowing they are losing money.

I'm so sorry for the movie "Christmas Killing". It's not easy to withdraw!
