The Shanghai Film Festival is not the focus, the focus is on a bunch of conversations between bigwigs, which means that the film industry has indeed ushered in a shock.

For example, capital investment in movies is decreasing, and they would rather do online dramas than spend money on blockbusters like before!

Also, society has a lot of criticism about the industry...

Of course, the biggest impact of these is the withdrawal of a group of listed companies. The withdrawal of capital has made many projects that had been originally planned become empty talk again.

Many crews that were ready to be formed collapsed, and many practitioners were forced to find work again!

This is not a good thing for industry practitioners!

"The movie will still have to return to the content after all!"

Xiaobai was holding the vegetables while talking: "In fact, the reason why there were so many bad movies in the first half of the year is mainly because most of them were in stock last year, and it will be much better in the second half of this year. At that time, there will definitely be capital willing to be a sucker!"

"By the way, Kaixin, is there anything worth mentioning in your Singapore movies?"

"Ah? Director Chen Zheyi..."

Li Kaixin never expected that Bai Xiaofei would throw out the topic to her. She was a little flattered and said someone's name.

"Oh, the director of "My Parents Are Not Home", do I know him, do you still have it?"

"My parents are not at home" won the 50th Golden Horse Best Picture, defeated "The Grandmaster", "Destiny"...

Singapore movies are more literary and fresh, and are more often the back garden of Hollywood and Hong Kong movies. In recent years, Korean movies have risen and the market has gradually been occupied by Korean movies...

It would be great to have three to five movies a year in such a small place!

“…and, “The Legend of the Recruitment”…”

Li Kaixin tried hard to recall the movies in Singapore that she remembered. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, only one movie popped up, a director...

"The Legend of the Recruitment", a Singapore comedy, has been filmed several consecutive movies, and the box office is not bad...

A comedy that only a typical Singaporean can understand.

"Forget it, I can't do that anymore. Hurry up and eat. Let's go to see the person in charge tomorrow!"

The person in charge is the person in charge of Nanhai Film and Television City.

That's right, Foshan attaches great importance to Bai Xiaofei's shooting, and the local government sponsored a 20 million shooting fund...

It's a bit like the tax refund policy of the United States.

...

Li Kaixin, a little girl, was alone in a foreign land and became a stranger, and naturally developed a character of a dead house.

After returning to the hotel, she took a shower, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and lay on the sofa. She began to search for information about Bai Xiaofei online.

Before, she only knew that Bai Xiaofei was her boss. After all, the studio's name was "Bai Xiaofei Studio", and she also knew that he was a very powerful young director.

After this investigation, she realized that Bai Xiaofei was only 7 years older than her!

He is also a post-90s generation!

"Isn't this Bob Dylan's song " "Knock on the Door of Heaven?"

After seeing her representative work, her debut movie was "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven", she was a little curious.

Li Kaixin is a talented girl who is proficient in musical instruments, can talk and sing, which is why Chen Baolian likes her.

"Let's see!"

Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she opened "Knock on the Door of Heaven", and then she fell...

"Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is aimed at a literary youth like her who is not well-versed in the world. Look at the soft lines inside: "There is only one theme in heaven, that is the sea. At dusk, how spectacular it is to fall into the sea. The only thing left is the soul fire that looks like a candlelight."

"The sun slowly penetrates into the sea, calmly the sea reflects the sky with rays of light, and the whole world can quietly hear each other's breathing."

The little girl was immediately moved!

Soon, "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" ended, and she began to watch "Riding the Wind and Waves"...

...

Xiaobai is watching the cost accounting sent by Chen Baolian.

The cost of "Nine-rank Sesame Official".

Chen Baolian has already done almost the same in the preliminary preparations, of course, novices also need to understand this process.

The entire preliminary preparation process is closely related to the director. What kind of camera language is needed, the impact of the actors on the film, the inspection of the studio and other departments to determine the lighting and sets, clarify the ideas for the post-production editing, etc. These are all the preparations the director must make in the early stage.

As for renting prop venues, making sets, finding suitable roads and locations, etc., these will be done by professionals.

This is not the first time the studio has done these things, so it is naturally orderly...

"Nine-Prince Sesame Official" is a costume drama, and it is unlikely that it will be directly implanted, so it can only sell patch advertisements. So far, patch advertisements have been sold for about 60 million. After all, this is the first movie made by Bai Xiaofei in the true sense. The producer is Bai Xiaofei's studio, and the publisher has found Wanda...

The total pay for actors is 18 million, the shooting cycle is 40 days, and the post-production is two months. As for when it will be released, Xiaobai is more willing to be on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the publisher prefers the New Year holiday. After all, they want to release "Detective Chinatown 2"...

According to the cost calculation given by Chen Baolian, the shooting cost of "Nine-grade Sesame Official" is about 50 million - the income from the patch advertising is enough to offset the cost!

With the help given by the local government, let’s put it this way, “Nine-Ranking Sesame Official” has already made a profit before it started filming!

Of course, this kind of profit is only digital at this time. If you really want to get the money, you have to wait for the movie to be officially released...

To be honest, Xiaobai is under pressure.

I am not worried about whether the movie will make a profit. If "Nine-Ranking Sesame Official" fails to get a box office of more than 500 million yuan, Xiaobai can die!

He was a little worried about his acting skills!

How is Stephen Chow's acting skills?

Wang Jing praised him: He has seen the mainland, and among the Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, Zhou Xingchi is the first powerful actor. He is the best male actor I have ever met. His acting skills are perfect and comprehensive, and he can control the evidence of tragedy. He is definitely not the funny guy in your heart. He can perform art movies and perform tragedies, but no one asks him to act!

Du Qifeng said, "I don't like him the most, but I think he is very good, I like him, and I don't like him. The person who makes me confused is called Zhou Xingchi. There is only this genius in the whole circle!"

A very interesting description is that most movies are usually called director works, such as Wang Jiawei's works, Zhang Yimou's works, and Ang Lee's works, and some are also named as starring actors, such as Liu Dehua's works, and Zhang Ziyi's works...

Some even use the photographer's name, the screenwriter's name, and the action guide's name, but when it comes to Stephen Chow, no matter who your director is, who else the actors, or who the screenwriter is, they are all just works by Zhou Xingchi!

The King of Comedy deserves it!

If Xiaobai is allowed to simply imitate, he will of course restore it, and there will be no problem with every frown and smile!
Chapter completed!
