Feng Xiao just finished the college student film festival and focused on the new film.

This time, the College Student Film Festival did not award him the Best Director Award. It is said that the debate within the jury was very strong, mainly the dispute between art films and entertainment films.

What are the criteria for award evaluation? Is it the preferences of students or the artistic nature of movies? How to take into account the needs of both?

This is the third college student film festival. The various systems and regulations are not yet mature and need to be improved.

Feng Xiaogang was not discouraged by this. He felt that the social environment was changing and entertainment films were changing. There would always be opportunities in the future. This is an optimistic spirit and a helplessness.

He has no time to care about these things, and he has to do his best to prepare his third New Year's film.

Perhaps realizing that this was his last Beijing-style movie and he would transform in the future, Feng Xiaogang decided to play.

In the past, in order to take care of the audience, I always had a little cautious attitude. Even if it was a joke, I had to consider whether the audience could accept it and whether it would be too vulgar.

We also need to consider the review of the General Administration, whether there are any taboos. Anyway, it is not very comfortable and not refreshing enough.

This time, Feng Xiaogang wanted to have a slightly crazy story to release what he was holding in his heart.

Of course, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to do things that are unfavorable to the people. He just makes a small fuss in the movie.

This script tells the story of a small person, and the people in it are a little crazy, or it is something that happens after a small person is forced to do so.

The honest and kind taxi driver Han Dong rented the car to the station wagon owner Ruan Dawei all year round, but Ruan Dawei owed more than 90,000 yuan for the chartered car for a long time and has been lying to pay it back.

After the request failed, Han Dong picked up Ruan Dawei's Singaporean girlfriend, who was hospitalized due to illness, from the hospital, trying to create an illusion of kidnapping to scare Ruan Dawei and demand to pay back the money.

This is the same as the wages owed by bosses in society today.

If you are an ordinary migrant worker, you should not do such a thing when facing a powerful boss, and you will endure it more silently.

So, the character Han Dong is a little clever and a little driven crazy, and he didn't expect the consequences of doing things.

The arrogant Ruan Dawei didn't believe that Han Dong, who had always been honest, would actually kidnap his girlfriend, and threatened Han Dong on the phone that he would not return the money to Han Dong no matter what.

When Ruan Dawei's girlfriend Xiaoyun knew that her life was not worth 100,000 yuan in Ruan Dawei's eyes, she was so angry that she joined forces with Han Dong to tease Ruan Dawei.

This shows that Xiaoyun is also a little crazy. She wants to try whether her boyfriend cares about money or her.

So, they ordered a high-end banquet and a full set of massage services to Ruan Dawei by phone, and asked Ruan Dawei to spend money in a variety of ways.

This matter was originally easy to solve, but after a series of crazy actions, it was out of control and fell into even more crazier.

Ruan Dawei was furious and insisted on taking revenge on Han Dong. Not only did he call the police, but he also took a few brothers to teach Han Dong a lesson. A group of people started a crazy farce in the capital.

All of this is for money.

With the development of society, more and more rich people are looking at money. For money, you can owe migrant workers’ wages against your conscience, commit crimes for money, and be corrupt for money.

This story tells a farce in the form of comedy because it costs less than 100,000 yuan.

It can be said that compared with "Party A and Party B" and "Seeking A and Party", this is the most satirical film with Feng Xiaogang.

The first two parts are just clicked and stopped, giving people a feeling of no pain or itch, and more of showing the warmth between people.

This time, although Feng Xiaogang did not forget the last warmth, he had to be more profound in the theme, using satirical and ridiculous means to depict a small person's resistance to power.

This is also the most Beijing-style movie among the three films.

Feng Xiaogang has made a desperate attempt to put all the scenery in the capital into the film, especially the alleys and courtyards in the capital, and wants to give a summary of his New Year trilogy.

The only one in this film that doesn't match the Beijing flavor is the heroine Xiaoyun.

The background of the character Xiaoyun is living in the capital when she was a child. Later, she moved to Singapore with her parents. In this heroine, she has the ability and grandeur of a girl in the capital, and also has a bit of foreign style.

The setting of this character is related to what Feng Xiaogang mentioned to transform.

He wanted to try to give the audience something different in the movie, find a Hong Kong and Taiwan actress to cooperate with Ge You, and the other is for the box office, which is also the first step towards internationalization.

However, the pay for Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses is not low. After contacting them, they found that there is a big gap with the mainland.

For example, Ge You's pay is 500,000 yuan, which is the price of top domestic actors, but in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the pay of action star Cheng Long has exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

Other first-line stars such as Liu Dehua are also around tens of millions.

Among Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses, Yang Ziqiong has the highest pay, at more than 4 million yuan, while other actresses range from one million to three million yuan, and there are also under one million Hong Kong dollars, but their popularity is not that high.

From this we can see that the price of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars is almost ten times that of mainland stars.

Behind this high pay is the bubble in the Hong Kong film industry, which has become crazy and unreasonable. Almost half of the investment in a play is the pay of stars, and there is very little money to actually use for filming.

Over time, the quality of Xiangjiang movies can be imagined.

However, as long as the movies in Hong Kong can make money, the stars' pay will keep rising, and the quality of the movies will become worse and worse. This is a vicious cycle. Once the way of relying on celebrities to attract audiences does not work, the movies in Hong Kong will go downhill.

It can be said that this is the last glory of the Hong Kong movie.

Feng Xiaogang's new film investment is only 5 million, so he can't afford to hire those very famous Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses. Otherwise, with Ge You's pay, the entire investment will be halfway. How can he shoot a movie?

If you find those actresses with low popularity, they will not have the necessary publicity effect.

It depends on whether any actresses are willing to lower their pay for acting. It is best not to exceed Ge You’s 500,000.

Otherwise, it would be unpleasant to be reported. Ge You is also the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival and a top domestic actor. If the salary is not as high as that of second-tier actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan, what does domestic audiences think? Ge You is their favorite actor.

Although this is the actual situation, you can't be wronged by your own people.

Besides, this drama mainly relies on Ge You's performance, and finding Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses to cooperate is just an attempt.

Lin Zixuan asked the employees of Haomeng Company to contact the agents of Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses to see if there are any actresses who are willing to come to the mainland to develop and reduce their pay. If it really doesn't work, you can also find actresses with potential in the future. (To be continued.)
