Entertainment From Divorce

USA, California.

Baofeng Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Robinson sat behind his desk, staring at a bikini photo of a blonde beauty on the computer screen.

"Tsk tsk, Elana is getting more and more delicious."

"I didn't think much of her when I was young, but now that I'm older, she's become more plump and charming. Well, not bad. I can ask her out next time I go to New York."

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the office door.

Robinson raised his head, looked at the door, and said, "Please come in."

While speaking, he moved his fingers very quickly and clicked the cross on the photo of a bikini beauty on the computer screen. At the same time, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as calm and calm as ever.

Walking in from the door was Jesse, a well-known director from Baofeng Entertainment Company.

"Oh, Jesse, you're here, sit down quickly." Robinson smiled.

Jesses smiled and nodded. He calmly came to sit on the chair opposite Robinson's desk, with a relaxed and comfortable look on his face.

Jesses and Robinson, the president of Baofeng Entertainment, have had a relationship for nearly 20 years. They are old friends. It is not just a simple relationship between employee and boss on the surface, but they are also very relaxed in daily interactions.

"Jesus, how is the progress of "Sky God"?" Robinson asked with a smile.

"God of the Sky" is another science fiction masterpiece produced by Baofeng Entertainment after "To the Sky". The initial investment alone exceeded 200 million US dollars. According to media reports, additional investment will continue in the later period. , the total investment cost of "God of the Sky" may exceed US$500 million!

Everyone at Baofeng Entertainment regards the new movie "Sky God" as a science fiction blockbuster that surpasses "Sky to the Sky".

Jesses said: "Everything is going smoothly, of course, that is under the premise that the later investment can keep up."

Robinson laughed and said: "Oh my god, old man, do you know how expensive this movie is? It shouldn't be called "God of the Sky", it should be called "The God of Money"."

Jesses defended his movie. He said seriously: "Boss, you have to have full confidence in this movie. Just invest money, believe in such an excellent script, and believe in my directorial ability. You know what? I dare I bet you that after this movie is released, it will definitely win the top spot at the global box office!"

Robinson was very happy after hearing what Jesus said, laughed loudly, and said: "Jesus, I believe you, I hope I can drink the champagne to celebrate "Sky God" winning the global box office championship."

After speaking, Robinson continued: "Jesus, have you heard about the recent actions of the General Administration of Culture of China?"

Jesses shook his head and said: "No, I have been busy filming "God of the Sky" and I didn't pay attention to other things in the outside world."

Robinson said: "The General Administration of Culture announced a list, saying that several Chinese directors' films will be released around the world one after another. China is beginning to target the global film market."

There are no particularly outstanding figures in the Chinese film industry. Whether they are directors or actors, there are no real international celebrities.

In terms of military, politics, brokerage, etc., China is undoubtedly one of the most powerful countries in the world today. However, at the cultural level, China, which has been focusing on developing hard power for many years, has made huge neglect in soft power. Cultural soft power Ranked just outside the dozens in the world.

If we talk about other aspects of China, Robinson and Jesses should take it seriously, but in terms of the entertainment industry, the entire China Entertainment Group is currently tied together, and it is not enough for Baofeng Entertainment to fight alone.

The reason why we pay more attention to the Chinese film market is because this film market is huge and is one of the largest film markets in the world.

It is strange to say that generally the more developed the market, the more excellent products it can stimulate, but it is exactly the opposite in China. China has the largest film market in the world, but it does not have a strong enough and brilliant entertainment industry.

Jesses said disdainfully: "Is this news important? In the past, there were no movies directed by Chinese directors that were released around the world, and weren't they all thrown away? Yellow people have no cultural genes."

Robinson reminded: "Jesus, don't forget that in the Chinese film market, "Straight to the Sky" lost to a Chinese director, and that Chinese director appeared on that list."

Jesse was immediately annoyed and said loudly: "Robinson, let me tell you, it was just an accident, and it was only the box office of the movie "Straight to the Sky" in China, not the global box office of "Straight to the Sky"."

"Oh, Jesse, don't be angry, I believe in you, I believe in you." Seeing that the old man was really angry, Robinson quickly comforted him.

…

…

on Monday.

Beijing.

Bright Entertainment Company.

President's office.

The breeze blew and lifted a corner of the curtain. Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer and staring at the scene, was slightly lost in thought, frowning and thinking about something.

During this time, I have been preparing for the upcoming new movie, analyzing problems in my own movies, watching foreign classic blockbusters, and summarizing many experiences in the notebook in my hand. Everything is to make his first global simultaneous release movie a success.

Tan Yue looked away and decided in his heart that it was time to start preparing for a new movie.

No matter how much experience is summarized, it is not as intuitive as the feelings brought about by making a movie.

Tan Yue naturally hopes that his first film that will be released simultaneously around the world will achieve huge gains in word-of-mouth and box office, but at the same time he is also prepared to fail.

Competition in the global film market is so fierce that everything is still unknown.

Tan Yue gently rubbed his temples to relieve mental fatigue. The spirit has been highly concentrated, and the fatigue caused by it will only become more intense.

After resting on the chair for a while, I opened my eyes and felt much less tired.

"It's better to put on the massager and relax."

The stiffness in his neck reminded Tan Yue of the massager placed aside. He first turned on the start button on the mobile phone software, and then hung the massager around his neck.

Half a minute later, accompanied by vibrations, a warm feeling came from the massager, and Tan Yue lay comfortably on the chair again.

Whether it was because of the weather or the new model, Tan Yue felt that the temperature was rising quickly with a few presses of his head that were in contact with his neck.

But for him, this is his favorite place. Only with temperature can the massage reach the most comfortable state.

Not long after, Tan Yue felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he wanted to sleep for a while.

"can not sleep."

During working hours, Tan Yue was not allowed to sleep. He stood up and stretched himself to the coffee machine, made himself a cup of coffee, added a little sugar to it, took a sip, and sat back in front of the computer.

Now that he has decided to make a new movie, Tan Yue once again fell into deep thought about the selection of materials.

The subject matter of a movie still has a huge impact on the box office.

There is no shortage of cases in the movie market that have good reputations but low box office. This is because the subject matter of the movie has a relatively small audience and can only interest a very small number of people.

As his first film to be released globally, Tan Yue naturally hopes that the new film will not only have a good reputation, but also not fail at the box office.

"Zi——"

Tan Yue tasted coffee to keep his mind clear, and he was thinking about the theme of the new movie.

But still no inspiration at all.

When he had no clue, Tan Yue accidentally opened the International News Network to check some foreign news.

News events that are more popular are always easier for the audience to resonate with.

A news headline attracted Tan Yue's attention.

"In recent days, large-scale demonstrations have erupted in many places around the world due to natural disasters."

After some understanding, Tan Yue understood the whole story of this news.

In recent years, the frequency of natural disasters around the world has increased: droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms, tsunamis, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions.

Hundreds of millions of people have been displaced by disasters.

There was a clip in the news where people at the march were interviewed. They believed that God was punishing mankind, asking mankind to reflect more and stop infringing on nature, otherwise the number of disasters would increase.

An idea flashed in Tan Yue's mind. He read the entire news report attentively and carefully, while constantly thinking about the direction of the new movie in his mind.

"Yes!" Tan Yue lightly snapped his fingers, and the word 'God' brought him inspiration.

A classic movie comes to mind, certainly not a disaster movie.

Everyone's destiny seems to have been arranged from the moment they are born.

When I was a child, I always wanted to grow up quickly so that I could do whatever I wanted and fulfill my wild dreams.

But when I grew up, I realized that everything was completely different from what I expected. Various reasons such as work and family would become constraints in pursuing my dreams. Gradually, you will curl up in your own comfort zone, afraid to step out, and those dreams you once had will be forgotten and lost.

Thereby accepting one's own destiny and accepting the reality of life that cannot be changed.

But if you want to make a change, you must take this step. Tan Yue wants to express his thoughts through this movie.

The name of the movie is "The Truman Show."

A protagonist who lives completely in a surreal world. Although everything is well arranged and he can live in a comfortable environment forever, in the end he still takes that step to find his own world in order to pursue his dream.

Tan Yue closed his eyes slightly and recalled the plot of the movie.

The film tells the story of Truman, who is an extremely ordinary person. Except for some strange experiences - his first girlfriend suddenly disappeared and his father who drowned suddenly seemed to appear in front of him again. He and most people in their thirties Year-old American men are no different.

This made him feel deeply disappointed. He also tried to leave the place where he had lived for many years, but he was always unable to do so due to various reasons.

Until one day, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be being followed, no matter where he went or what he did.

This feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Truman decided to escape from the place where he had lived for more than thirty years at all costs to find his first girlfriend.

But he found that he couldn't escape. The truth is actually very cruel.

In a sense, the entire movie shows that Truman's first thirty years of life were fabricated, just like God created man. Truman's final decision was also a rebellion against fate.

It was this that made Tan Yue think of this movie.

"The Truman Show" received extremely high scores on a movie website in its previous life with nearly 2 million participating ratings. It is a classic movie that has achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success.

On Earth, the film was nominated for the 71st Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay; Jim Carrey, who played Truman, won the 56th American Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for this film.

Tan Yue is very happy that the new movie has a direction.

‘Dong dong dong’.

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Tan." Chen Ye opened the door and said, "There is a document here that needs your signature."

Tan Yue took the file with a soft "hmm" and started to read it.

The documents had to be sent back, so Chen Ye did not leave in a hurry. Looking at Mr. Tan who was reviewing and approving the documents, she had a smile on her face, and she felt happy in her heart.

Although she didn't know what made Tan Yue happy, it was a happy thing for her to see Tan Yue happy.

She quietly took another look at the man.

Although I know that there is almost no possibility between two people, the love is only hidden in my heart, not completely disappeared.

Tan Yue drank coffee and looked through the documents in his hand one by one. They were new projects prepared by the film department.

The film department is going to shoot a new movie in the near future, and there are some financial instructions, including hiring actors and preparing props.

When Chen Ye saw that there was not much coffee left, he picked up the cup Tan Yue used to drink hot water on the desk, took a cup of hot water of just the right temperature, and gently placed it in front of Tan Yue.

"Thank you, Xiaoye, no need to go to such trouble, I can do this kind of thing myself."

Tan Yue was not so pretentious as to ask others to pour him water.

Chen Ye smiled and said: "These are what I should do. Drinking coffee all the time is not good for your health. Mr. Tan, you should drink less coffee and more hot water in the future!"

"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the future. You are right, the tea tastes good."

He didn't like the taste of coffee very much, and wouldn't drink it if he wasn't sleepy.

Chen Ye smiled and did not continue to talk.

Tan Yue looked down at the document, made sure there was no problem, and signed his name on the last page of the document.

"No problem, Xiaoye, just send the documents back."

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Chen Ye nodded, took the document, and left the office briskly, taking a sneak peek before leaving.

Tan Yue drank the remaining coffee in the cup, picked up the cup, rinsed it with water, and placed it on the cup holder next to the coffee machine.

Returning to the computer, he picked up the water Chen Ye received and drank it while continuing to think about the new movie.

"The Truman Show" is a highly watchable movie with a certain amount of black humor, so much so that it can still keep up with the times when viewed now.

Because of its unique story content, the shooting techniques are also very different from other movies. This is more like a documentary film. When making preparations before shooting, Tan Yue needs to consider many things.

For Tan Yue, he still has another arduous task to do.

"The Truman Show" is an American film, but he has to consider how to localize the film.

First of all, in this movie, Tan Yue will not invite foreign actors to play the leading role in the movie.

If most of the films use foreign actors, the saying that domestic films go abroad will lose its original meaning.

It will not be domestic films going abroad, it will be the directors themselves going abroad. It is contrary to the results that the General Administration of Culture wants to see, and it is not what I want to see.

Because it was the first time to do this kind of work, it was quite difficult for Tan Yue. Apart from having ideas on selecting actors, he didn’t have much clue about other aspects yet.

Tan Yue picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and allowed himself to think calmly.
