Four hundred and seventieth chapters past days
Film and television dramas with anti-corruption and integrity themes are not uncommon, and many people have filmed them before.┡Ω
This is a hot topic in society and a topic that the people are concerned about, but the pattern of those films and TV dramas is too small and the depth of excavation is not enough.
Film and television companies and screenwriters dare not go too far. They are always careful and wander around the lower officialdom, making them unhappy to watch.
The advantage of "Life and Death Choice" is that it has a larger structure and a deeper strength. It dares to face the sharp contradictions in real political and economic life without avoiding or covering up.
Among them, the collective corruption of the leadership team, the children of cadres were dragged into the water, the problems of buddies, and the lax thoughts of some officials before retirement and wanting to make a fortune.
The protagonist in the film not only resolutely fights against the ** elements, but also analyzes his own psychology.
Especially after knowing that his wife was deeply trapped in it, he had struggles and pain.
The film does not create a tall and complete image like before, without any shortcomings, but a flesh-and-blooded person, which seems more real and credible.
Other characters have their own characteristics, not so stereotyped.
Although it cannot be said that it has done its best and has shortcomings, it is one level higher than the previous anti-corruption and integrity film and television dramas.
How to promote a main theme video is a problem that Haomeng Company needs to solve.
In this era, the people basically lost interest in main theme videos. In the 1980s, audiences would be moved to tears when watching main theme videos. Now even the cinema is reluctant to enter.
The main reason is that the content of the main theme video is too empty and mainly preached, making it difficult to win the trust of the audience.
Older audiences may still buy it, while young people are not interested. Coupled with the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, the contrast is obvious.
To attract audiences, you need to start from several aspects.
First, let the actors in the film go on publicity in major cities across the country, meet local audiences, and expand the influence of the film.
Secondly, spend money on newspapers and TV to promote, create topics, and hype, but this kind of hype should be moderate and not overdo it, otherwise problems will occur.
Finally, film critics and industry experts are asked to make positive comments on the film, which will affect the audience's viewing choices.
Of course, if you can get the support from above, it is more powerful than any publicity.
As long as you appear in the "Huaguo Daily" or the "Huaguo News" at 7 pm, this film will basically be guaranteed.
That's what Han Sanping needs to consider.
Lin Zixuan is only responsible for publicity. He does not have such an interpersonal network and is not worthy of such great efforts.
Good Dream Company will arrange actors to participate in local TV programs to tell interesting stories during the shooting process.
For example, when shooting the factory scenes, hundreds of extras were invited. It was summer, and the cicadas on the tree kept shouting, interfering with the shooting scene, and taking pictures over and over again.
In the end, there was no way, and all the crew members went to catch cicadas.
Lin Zixuan emphasized that when promoting, the focus is on the "authenticity" of the movie. The film truly reflects the corruption of cadres in real life, which is what distinguishes it from other main theme films.
This reality can only be said to be relative reality, and is a gimmick to attract the audience.
The publicity work here is in full swing, and Jiang Wen’s situation is not very optimistic.
He spent ten days to modify a version and submitted the second review of "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling Record", but the result was still not good.
Film censorship is the competition between directors and censors, and officials of the General Administration play a role in supervision and decision-making.
Compared with "Living", the plot of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is not sharp, but it also involves some historical issues. If you meet responsible officials of the General Administration, you may pass the review.
Obviously, the officials of the General Administration are unwilling to assume this responsibility this time, and the video needs to be revised.
Lin Zixuan asked, there should be no chance, and even if he changes, he may not be able to pass it unless he undergoes major surgery or reshoots.
Jiang Wen will definitely not do that, and this is not something he can decide. The copyright of the movie is not in his hands, so it is good to get the editing rights, otherwise European investors will find others to edit the movie.
"Then let it go, this time, this time." Lin Zixuan said helplessly, "Are you going to Venice?"
"Why don't I go?" Jiang Wen asked, "Ge You don't want to go. If I don't go again, there will be no one to receive the award if I win the award. How boring it would be."
Ge You didn't want to take a plane if he didn't go. Besides, the film was made like this, he was a little depressed.
The last time Ge You went to the Cannes Film Festival in France was because Zhang Yimou could not go, so he entrusted Ge You to take a trip.
Then Ge You went to Cannes with Gong Li and won the Best Actor.
Jiang Wen wanted to go by himself, but in fact, even if he didn't, Chen Chong, the heroine of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", would go to Venice.
Chen Chong is in Hollywood and doesn’t have to worry about being punished by the General Administration.
Jiang Wen felt that "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" might have a show at the Venice Film Festival and had the opportunity to win an award.
"Sunny Days" did not win the grand prize, and he was more or less regretful.
However, it was more risky to go to Venice at this time. Lin Zixuan thought that it was safer for Jiang Wen to stay in China, but he knew that once Jiang Wen made a decision, he was not a willing person to listen to others' advice.
"Why do you find another reason to go abroad?" Lin Zixuan suggested.
"It's boring to hide it so much, so forget it." Jiang Wen refused, "I'm going to attend a film festival. Let's not think too much about things, maybe there's nothing."
"Okay, I'll talk about it later." Lin Zixuan nodded, "Xiaoling will also go to Venice, she will go to Xiangjiang first."
Under the operation of Colombia Asia Film Company, "Go Home" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Venice Film Festival.
Lin Xiaoling, Liu Lin and Xu Jinglei will go to Xiangjiang at the end of the month and go to Venice with Barbara.
Compared with those famous directors, Lin Xiaoling is of average fame. Although "The Two of Us" won the award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, it only has an influence in Asia.
In Europe, she is also a new director.
Barbara believes that it would be good to be able to win an award. In addition to the highest Golden Lion Award, there are many awards.
For example, the jury special award, the newcomer award, the Italian film critic award and the Italian parliament gold medal award, etc.
These awards are not as eye-catching as the Golden Lion Awards, and are not available in every session, but they can increase the value of the film.
"I didn't expect Xiaoling to have reached this point. It's only been a few years. I always feel that she is still the little girl who ran around the crew." Jiang Wen sighed.
"It's been five or six years. We were filming in New York in 1992, and I realized she was admitted to the film school." Lin Zixuan recalled.
The two chatted about the past few times and then separated. (To be continued.)8
