Feng Xiaogang's internationalization is not an idea that came after contact with Columbia Pictures, they have discussed it before.
He made two Chinese New Year films, one in Beijing and one in the United States, although the filming locations are different and the plots are different, the themes are basically the same, both are Beijing-style movies, and they are all small people playing poor mouths and making boring children.
And what about the next one They already have the successful experience of making Chinese New Year films, and it would be a pity to give up like this, but it is not realistic to keep making this kind of film, and the audience will always have a day of boredom.
How to innovate so that the audience does not get bored is a question they need to consider.
Is it to change the creative idea, start anew, shoot a different theme, or sew and mend on the original basis.
In the Good Dream Company, everyone brainstorms to see if there is a better idea.
Some people proposed that next year, Xiangjiang should return to the city, whether to make a story about the people in the capital in Xiangjiang.
Some people say that historical dramas are very popular on TV now, or let's make a movie version of a historical comedy.
There are also people who think that they should cooperate with stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so as to expand the influence of the movie and the audience, if Liu Dehua is invited to star, then Liu Dehua's fans and fans will definitely watch the movie, this is the star effect.
Everyone put forward their own suggestions from the selection of the film to the stars invited.
One thing is certain, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You will definitely make comedies, which is guaranteed at the box office, and it is difficult to imagine the results of their filming of other types of movies.
Ge You feels that it doesn't have to be a partner between the two, but it can also be played by other actors, maybe it will have a different effect.
He is now a little repeating his feelings, he has almost made two Chinese New Year films, and there will be no passion when he shoots again, they are all routines, and there is less sincerity, and the audience may still buy it, and go to the theater to watch the movie, which is probably more of a habit.
Ge You wants to find a different character, if he can break through, it doesn't matter if he is a villain.
Lin Zixuan understands Ge You's mentality, an actor, especially an excellent actor, is unwilling to repeat himself.
Like Zhang Guoli is like this, he has played the emperor enough, he is very happy to play a gangster in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he plays it very well and expressively, he feels that it is very tiring to play the emperor, but it is very easy to play the gangster.
However, in this circle, begging for life is often not possible according to one's own ideas.
Sometimes for the sake of livelihood, sometimes for friendship, and sometimes for the sake of maintaining his 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 last resort of actors.
Ge You grew up in the Beijing Film Studio, and since he was a child, he was in contact with those seniors in the film studio, and he learned the attitude of his predecessors, who were modest and low-key, and also learned the pursuit of art by his predecessors.
He wants to play some different roles and try different ways of acting.
This is related to the domestic performing arts industry, generally speaking, in China, only actors who act in tragedies and dramas will be called artists, and they are considered to have profound acting skills.
Comedians tend to be looked down upon.
Everyone generally thinks that comedians are just amusing, and they don't need to perform much, and Ge You stops wherever he goes, and the audience is happy without talking, which doesn't show any acting skills.
In fact, it is not easy to amuse people.
Media reporters followed in the fun, and every time they met Ge You, they would ask if there was a breakthrough in the role this time and whether they would still act in comedy Experts and critics agree that it is a waste of talent for Ge You to act in comedy, and that he should act in a few films as profound as he lived.
Even the old man of Ge You's family thought that Ge You was repeating himself and reminded him to take on more artistic plays.
The combination of various factors made Ge You hesitate.
Whether to continue to make Chinese New Year films that the audience likes to see, or make films with depth, this is the question he has to consider.
With his current popularity, there is no shortage of good scripts in his hands, and there are also art films, as for the salary, it is easy to say, if he really meets a book that suits his heart, he is willing to reduce the salary to take over the play.
However, if he needs to continue acting in Chinese New Year films, he will also agree, and in this regard, he is not very insistent.
As the owner of the film company, Lin Zixuan certainly hopes that Ge You will always act in Chinese New Year movies, so that he can make money, but the friendship between him and Ge You is deep, and Ge You should be allowed to try different ways of acting.
"Brother You, make another Chinese New Year film, make a trilogy, next year we don't care about the box office, we want to make the film, I'll write you a book."
Lin Zixuan promised.
Ge You trusted Lin Zixuan very much, so he agreed.
The so-called thing is only three, and if there are too many Chinese New Year films, not only the audience may not buy it, but the director and actors will also have ideas.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang discussed how to change, first of all, they can't just make Beijing-style movies, they must take care of the national audience, and they can't just compete for the box office in China, but they also have to develop internationally.
If there is no long-term plan, then the achievements of Good Dream Company will be limited.
They decided to make another Chinese New Year film and transform, not to say that they will resolutely not make Chinese New Year films in the future, but to find a new way.
When they used to shoot TV series, they didn't just shoot comedies, but also filmed dramas like Beijingers in New York, so the transformation is not difficult, the key is to have a good script and actors.
Another point is to strengthen cooperation with the outside world, not only the Beijing Film Studio, but also Hong Kong and Taiwan film companies, foreign film companies, etc., to go out, there will be a way out.
Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Advertising Company has been paying attention to the Good Dream Company, and last year's sunny days and never scattered achieved high box office, and Lin Zixuan was behind these two films.
He knows that this is not a coincidence, there are so many domestic movies, why only these few have achieved high box office, it is worth pondering.
Wang Zhongjun did not put all the investment on Lin Zixuan, he understood that he could not put his eggs in one basket, and he was also paying attention to other film and television companies and directors, trying to find investment opportunities.
When he learned that Good Dreams was going to make a third Chinese New Year film, he hesitated.

This is the same as the sequel of a movie, the sequel is often difficult to reach the level of the previous work, and it is unknown whether the third Chinese New Year film starring Ge You can continue to achieve good results.
After the foreshadowing of the first two Fung New Year films, the audience has high expectations, and if they find that the quality of the film is not as expected, the word of mouth will decline, which will directly affect the box office.
Wang Zhongjun remains cautious about this, preferring to invest in the hot TV drama market rather than movies.
The production of the series Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is nearing completion and it will be broadcast on TV, and he is looking forward to it. t1706231537:
