Since 1983

Historically, Han Sanping served as the director of Beijing Film Studio in 1994.

In 1999, he served as the deputy director and vice president of China Film Group. In 2007, he officially became the chairman of China Film Group.

Why did he support Chen Kaige? Because CITIC and China Film jointly set up a Century Hero Film Investment Company, Chen Kaige is the art director and has business in it.

Like "With You" and "The Promise", this company participated in the investment.

Besides, Han Sanping has good judgment in art films, and he also has a certain level of grasp in commercial films. When I was at the Emei Factory, I asked "The Flying Pirates of Emei" to temporarily add 7 action scenes, and many copies were sold.

Looking at his resume, he supported directors such as Huo Jianqi, Lu Xuechang, and Lu Xiaochuan, supported Feng Trousers' "Party A and Party B", released "Crazy Stone", and invested in Ning Hao to continue filming "Crazy Racing"...

This is all credit.

On the other hand, the so-called blockbuster films, "The Promise", "Up and Down the Red Cliff", "Mei Lanfang", "Nanjing", "October Besieged City", Jianguo Trilogy, etc., including the new "Red Mansion" and "Three Kingdoms", he has invested .

Objectively speaking, under the circumstances at that time, everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones.

How do Hong Kong filmmakers go north to integrate and make blockbuster films suitable for the mainland market? needs time.

As a result, Han Sanping made a "mistake of age limitation", he valued Hong Kong directors very much, and launched a series of blockbuster films with formalism.

Later, it was even more directionless, such as the Jianguo trilogy.

Is the standard really high? Not necessarily, there is nothing left but counting stars.

Especially for the last one, Liu Weiqiang is the director and finds a lot of traffic to act. General Ye is like a young and Dangerous boy...

I want to shoot the main theme, but I also want to show my favor to the so-called billions of followers, which is the same as inviting small fresh meat for the Spring Festival Gala.

And now, in 2003, Wu Mengchen did not resign, and the five-year plan was in full swing, virtually disappearing the powerful Han Sanping.

He wants to earn this sense of existence, and "The Promise" is the breakthrough.

Wu Mengchen is very discerning and worried in the small pavilion: "The integration of the two places is a good thing, but I am worried that some people in the mainland are too superstitious about Hong Kong movies, eager for quick success, and wasting time has no effect.

Especially with your "A World Without Thieves" and other films in front of you, everyone sees it, this is the model, and then rushes to it, completely ignoring the content. "

"You should think like this, trial and error is inevitable. The market needs stimulation, and more films can stimulate it.

Every country is full of good movies and bad movies, I can't stop the bad movies, I'm only responsible for making good movies..."

Xu Fei's attitude was clear: "But don't worry, I won't let some people waste resources for nothing, capitalize on the role, policy discriminate, and make a few f*cking garbage out!"

It's you, Wu Baige!

The two chatted for a long time, and Xu Fei took Lao Wu to visit the manor, orchard, as well as the pigs, cattle, sheep and geese raised by him.

"Oh, it turns out that all the eggs and meat you give away during the Chinese New Year come from here."

"Not bad, right? Wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, when the big goose is fattening up, I'll bring you one then."

"I prefer duck."

"There are ducks too, I'll bring you one!"

"That's great. My wife's sauce duck is a must. It's salty and sweet, soft but not rotten..."

"Wait! How can ducks be sweet?"

"Why can't ducks be sweet?"

"heresy!"

"Quack quack!"

Xu Yuling passed by chasing the big goose.

In the evening, Teacher Xu kept dinner, and went to the study to continue chatting after the meal.

"If the fourth part of "Kung Fu" can end the epidemic soon, it will be released at the end of the year. The main fifth part..."

"Yes, you've been keeping it secretive, what exactly do you want to shoot?" Old Wu asked.

"I'll talk about what to shoot later. The first four films are basically released once a year, and the fifth film is very difficult. It will definitely not be completed next year. I want to delay the release until the next year."

"..."

Old Wu was surprised and said nothing, waiting for his explanation.

"But don't worry about the next year's movies. I'll put "Mobile" at the end of the year first, and "Kung Fu" will stir up the Lunar New Year. "Hurricane Rescue", "Super Body" and "House of Flying Daggers" can be released in two years.

Besides, I have a new project!

If anyone asks, there are good reasons, and everyone will understand the impact of the epidemic. "

Xu Fei took out a script from the drawer, and said with a smile: "I went to Hollywood to investigate special effects last year, and I have been in touch with them for a long time, and they are already preparing.

In the past, I always talked about the film industry. After several years of training, the film and television city has been able to achieve basic assembly line production.

What is the basis?

It just has no relationship with advanced special effects, and the types are narrow. Ancient costumes, cities, and the Republic of China can be done, but what about others? "

He clicked on the script: "What to do in the future?"

"future……"

Wu Mengchen bowed his head, and there were four large characters on the title page: "Earth Cannon"!

…………

late at night.

Lao Wu was driving in the countryside, the lights of the two headlights flickered in front of him as the road undulated and turned.

Occasionally, there are two points of light head-on, slowly passing by.

On the co-pilot's seat, there was a script, a copy of "Science Fiction World" magazine, and a manuscript. Magazines and copies are two short stories, "Bring Her Eyes" and "Earth Cannon."

"Didi!"

Old Wu looked at the gloomy road ahead, still thinking about the conversation just now in the study room filled with incense.

"Is this a sci-fi movie?"

"right."

"Sci-fi... Since you brought it up, I won't ask nonsense, but I want to hear your thoughts."

"What was the goal of our five-year plan?"

"Stimulate the market, open up the road to domestic blockbusters, and create a film industry."

"The first two were barely achieved, but the latter was still far behind. In other words, the foreshadowing of the first four films was only for this last one.

"A World Without Thieves", "October Siege", "Heroes" and "Kung Fu", were they successful? It was very successful, setting up a template, promoting cooperation between the two places, broadening the audience's horizons, and increasing the box office.

They have their own meaning, but you can see it as the meaning of business, the meaning of the market, the meaning of co-productions, not the meaning of the film industry!

We are pioneers, pioneers must break through themselves, and those who make rules must break through themselves!

Otherwise, it will be like today's film industry, like the Film Association, where established old directors occupy the top, with interests forming their own factions, suppressing differences and new things.

Otherwise, you will lie on the credit book of the five blockbuster films and watch the latecomers follow suit and imitate one after another. It may not be until ten or twenty years later that a new milestone will be born.

Do you know what is the first type of movie that I propose this five-year plan? "

"future?"

"Ha! The journey of mankind is the sea of ​​stars!"

Teacher Xu uttered a famous saying that has not yet become popular, and said with a smile: "The cost of this film is high, and the box office is unpredictable. Tianxia, ​​Sunshine, and Cactus are the main investors. Maybe they will find Japanese and Korean funds to expand the pan-Asian market.

But I still have no guarantees, and it is probably the first film that has lost money since I started my career.

Old Wu, will you follow? "

"boom!"

The tires ran over the country road, Wu Mengchen drove the car, and he seemed to smile at that time.

"Old Han is supporting that nonsensical script over there, of course we have to do something serious together!"

(besides……)
