The internationalization that Feng Xiaogang mentioned was not an idea that he had only after contacting Columbia Film Company. They have discussed it before.

He made two New Year films, one in Beijing and the other in the United States. Although the shooting locations are different and the plots are different, the themes are basically the same. They are all Beijing-style movies, and they are all small characters playing tricks and making fun of them.

So what about the next one?

They already have successful experience in filming New Year's films. It would be a pity to give up like this, but it wouldn't be realistic if they kept filming such films, and the audience would always be bored.

How to innovate so that the audience will not get bored is a question they need to consider.

Should I change the creative ideas, start a new topic, shoot a different subject, or do I need to sew and repair it on the original basis?

In Good Dream Company, everyone will focus on their ideas to see if there are any better ideas.

Someone asked whether to film a story about the return of Xiangjiang next year.

Some people say that historical dramas are quite popular on TV now, so why don’t we make a movie version of a historical comedy?

Some people also think that they should cooperate with Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, so that they can expand the influence of the movie and the basic audience. If Liu Dehua is invited to star, then Liu Dehua's fans and movie fans will definitely watch the movie. This is the star effect.

Everyone has put forward their own suggestions from the selection of the film to the invited stars.

One thing is certain that Feng Xiaogang and Ge You partnered must make comedy movies, which has box office guarantees, and it is hard to imagine the result of their shooting of other types of movies.

Ge You felt that it was not necessary for the two to partner, but could also be replaced by other male actors, which might have different effects.

He is a little repetitive now. He has almost finished filming two New Year films, but he will lose his passion. They are all routines and lack sincerity. The audience may still buy it. When they go to the cinema to watch movies, it is probably more of a habit.

Ge You wanted to find a different character and could break through, but it didn't matter even if he was a villain.

Lin Zixuan understands Ge You's mentality. An actor, especially an excellent actor, is unwilling to repeat himself.

Like Zhang Guoli, he has played the emperor enough. He is very happy to play a gangster in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He acts very well and vividly. He feels that playing the emperor is very tiring, but it is easy to play the gangster.

However, in this circle, you cannot make a living according to your own ideas.

Sometimes for the sake of making a living, sometimes for friendship, and sometimes for the sake of maintaining one's own popularity, Zhang Guoli will continue to play the emperor until he finds the next role that can be accepted and recognized by the audience.

This is the actor's last resort.

Ge You grew up in a Beijing Film Studio. He has been in contact with the seniors in the film studio since he was a child. He has learned the attitude of his predecessors, being modest and low-key, and also learned the pursuit of art by his predecessors.

He wants to play different roles and try different acting ways.

This is related to the domestic entertainment industry. Generally speaking, only actors who perform tragedies and serious dramas in China are called artists and are considered to have deep acting skills.

Comedians are often looked down upon.

It is generally believed that comedians are just funny and do not need to perform. Wherever Ge You stops, without talking, the audience will be happy. This shows no performance skills.

In fact, it is not easy to make people laugh.

Media reporters joined in the fun. Every time they met Ge You, they would ask if his role had made a breakthrough this time? Do they still act in comedy?

Experts and film critics unanimously believe that Ge You's acting in comedy is a waste of talent and should act in several films as profound as "Living".

Even the old man in the Ge You family thought that Ge You was repeating himself and reminded him to take on more artistic plays.

Various factors combined make Ge You hesitate.

Whether to continue shooting New Year’s films that the audience likes or film in-depth films is the issue he needs to consider.

With his current popularity, he has no shortage of good scripts and art movies. As for the pay, it's easy to say. When he really meets a book that suits his heart, he is willing to lower his pay to take on the role.

However, if he is needed to continue acting in the New Year film, he will agree, and he will not insist on this.

As the boss of a film company, Lin Zixuan certainly hopes that Ge You will always be in New Year's films so that he can make money, but his deep friendship with Ge You should let Ge You try different ways of acting.

"Brother You, shoot another New Year's film to form a trilogy. Next year, we don't have to care about the box office. I'll write a book for you if you want to shoot the film." Lin Zixuan promised.

Ge You trusted Lin Zixuan very much, so he agreed.

As the saying goes, things are just three. If there are too many New Year films, not only will the audience not buy it, but the director and actors will also have ideas.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang discussed how to change. First, we should not only shoot Beijing-style movies, but also take care of the audience across the country, and we should not only compete for box office in China, but also move towards internationalization.

If there is no long-term plan, then Haomeng Company's achievements will be limited in the future.

They decided to make another New Year's film and transform. They did not mean that they would never make New Year's films in the future, but that they would find a new way.

When they were filming TV series before, they didn’t just shoot comedy, and they also filmed series like “The People in Beijing in New York”. Therefore, it is not difficult to transform, the key is that the script and the actors are better.

Another point is to strengthen cooperation with the outside world, not only Beijing Film Studios, but also Hong Kong and Taiwan film companies, foreign film companies, etc. Only by going abroad can you have a way out.

Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Advertising Company has been paying attention to Good Dream Company. Last year, "Sunny Days" and "Seeking Away" both achieved high box office results, and Lin Zixuan was behind these two films.

He knew that this was no coincidence. Why so many domestic films have achieved high box office results are worth pondering.

Wang Zhongjun did not put all the investment on Lin Zixuan. He understood that he could not put eggs in one basket. He was also paying attention to other film and television companies and directors, trying to find investment opportunities.

When he learned that Haomeng Company was going to make the third New Year film, he hesitated.

This is like a sequel to a movie. It is often difficult to reach the level of the previous work. The third one is whether the New Year film starring Ge You can continue to achieve good results. This is an unknown.

After laying the groundwork for the first two Feng's New Year films, the audience has high expectations. If the quality of the film is not as good as expected, the reputation will decline, which will directly affect the box office.

Wang Zhongjun is cautious about this. Compared with movies, he is more willing to invest in the popular TV series market.

The production of the series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is coming to an end and will be broadcast on TV. He is looking forward to it. (To be continued.)8
