After throwing the deal with Xiang Tai to Penguin Pictures, Li Hyuk continued to devote himself to post-production, and the post-production of "Seven Deadly Sins" was relatively simple, with almost no special effects shots, and all scenes were shot in real time.The whole film presents a cold, dark tone, which sets the tone and style of the film.Except for the final scene, most of the film is spent in endless heavy rain, as if there is no hope of solving the case.And the sunshine at the end makes people look like the case is finally clear, and the murderer is about to be punished.But when the murderer completes the final crime, in strong contrast with the scene, the final ending of the film will inevitably be unpleasant, and even dissuade some audiences, but this is also the charm of this "Seven Deadly Sins".Of course, Mrs.
Xiang did not trouble Li He, it is said that Xiang Tai was taught a lesson by Xiang Huaqiang, and it was thought that it was the result of the means used by the penguins and the light.After the handover, some powerful people on Hong Kong Island and those with black backgrounds are actually not having a good time, and this situation either clings to the thighs of the north side and does not let go, or how far they go, and they must not be used as grass on the wall.Xiangjia is the grass swaying in the wind, and sooner or later one day he will pay the price for both ends of his snake and mouse.In short, in any case, on May 28, when the latest sequel to the Star Trek series "Dark Unbounded" was released in mainland China, Li He finally completed all the post-production submissions.The scale of the film is slightly larger, although because the background is on Hong Kong Island, and the scale of the big scissors officials in this world is much more relaxed, but the ending of the film has also caused a lot of controversy.The official master of the big scissors can be regarded as having read countless films, but such a sensitive subject is really rare, and this director dares to shoot it.In the end, it was the audit director who overrode public opinion, combined with the recent document issued by the General Administration of Big Scissors "Guidance on the Diversified Creation of Chinese Films", and gave the leading logo without cutting, which means that the film can already be registered in theaters.Penguin and Light were the first to hold an internal preview meeting, and the two companies that were the main investors had great expectations for this project.Even a big brother-level character like Fa Ge is to be matched, and there is even a role played by a mysterious person, and the actor is only known to the crew members and a few high-level executives of the company so far.is so mysterious that not only the audience's curiosity has increased, but even a number of company executives are a little itchy......
There was silence in the screening room, and all the executives were nervously holding their breath, and several female executives left the venue because they couldn't stand such a dark plot, and even the male executives couldn't stand it.Tang Qianqian saw the finished film for the first time, and she didn't feel anything when she was filming the scene, but now that she watched the film, she hugged Li He's arm tightly.Li He didn't feel anything, he had actually observed it more than a dozen times in his previous life, and secondly, the entire script was written according to the picture that appeared in his mind, and it was also adapted appropriately.is so familiar with this film, Li He can't be nervous even if he wants to.As Tang Ren was taken away by the police car at the end of the film, the film ended, no one applauded, no one cheered, and everyone sat in their seats in prostration.Cheng Zhiwen is also a veteran who has been in the industry for many years, and he has watched no less than 1,000 films.He dared to say that no other film had such a strong personal style as "The Seven Deadly Sins", and after watching the movie, he felt as weak as Jujiro in one night.Walking out of the screening room, the executives who returned to the conference room still did not come to their senses.It was Wang Changtian who recovered and knocked on the table: "Say it!"
How should we distribute the film?
Mr.
Cheng, let's talk about your opinion first. ”Cheng Zhiwen frowned, a little unbusy with Wang Changtian's leader-like behavior, but now is not the time to dwell on this.Cheng Zhiwen cleared his throat and said: "I personally have a good sense of this film, I think we should strive for the maximum number of theaters and film schedules......"
"I have a different opinion," Cheng Zhiwen was interrupted by Xu Bin, director of the distribution department of Guangguang Pictures, before he finished speaking: "Although the quality of the film is indeed excellent, the theme of the film is too heavy, I am afraid that it will scare away some audiences, which is not conducive to box office performance, I think we should focus on the awards." ”Cheng Zhiwen's face was pale, but what Xu Bin said was very reasonable, and there was no way to refute it, but there were naturally people under his hands to deal with it."
What you said makes a lot of sense, but I want to remind you that this is a film with an investment of 70 million, and the publicity and distribution costs have exceeded 100 million."
Cheng Zhiwen's right-hand man, Wang Hejun, stood up and said."
So what do you say?"
Xu Bin did not give up."
We are already looking for overseas distribution, and most of the distributors in Asia are currently planning to sign distribution contracts, and Mr.
Holman of Warner Bros.
Pictures in Europe and the United States is also very interested, and we are in talks."
Wang Hejun said faintly.People in Light Pictures were generally stunned, but they didn't expect Penguin Pictures, which had been established for a few years, to be so wild.Light never thought of overseas distribution, at most in Asia, but he didn't expect Penguin Pictures to go to Hollywood.When the decision was made to release the market, it was not clearly defined which distribution market the two companies were responsible for, and now Penguin Pictures has no way to say anything without communicating with them and claiming without permission."
You don't communicate with us at Light Pictures and make distribution decisions without authorization, which is against the rules."
Xu Bin said strongly.Cheng Zhiwen smiled and said: "We have sincerely communicated with DreamWorks and Director Li He, and basically agree with our Penguin Pictures' distribution strategy, right?"
”Li He, Tang Qianqian, and Yang Xuewu sat at the end and watched the two companies quarrel with interest, and were suddenly a little stunned by Q.When he came back to his senses, he quickly said, "Well, ah, oh, yes.......""
You ......"
Xu Bin just wanted to question Li He, but was stopped by Wang Changtian."
That's enough.......
Wang Changtian was expressionless: "Let's follow Penguin Pictures' distribution strategy!"
At the moment, our focus is on the upcoming preview screening, and all departments are ready to enlist the support of the theater chain. ”"Mr.
Wang......."
Xu Bin wanted to say something, but Wang Changtian waved his hand to stop him: "Okay, that's it, let's dismiss the meeting." ”After speaking, he walked out of the conference room without looking back, and the executives looked at each other and walked out of the conference room, and soon only Cheng Zhiwen, Wang He Jun, Li He and others remained."
Do you know why Light Pictures wants to take the initiative in the distribution rights?"
Cheng Zhiwen asked Li Hedao."
I think it's because of the right to speak......
Li He said.Cheng Zhiwen shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's also right, it's not right, the main reason is that it should be you." ”"Me?
Why?
”Li He was surprised, Li He thought that he had not yet been compared to the point where two large companies would fight for him."
Your future, to be exact, Xiaohe, it's your birthday on the 29th of next month, right?"
Cheng Zhiwen's words made Li He, who was an old fritter, still confused, so he had to nod and say: "It's my birthday.......
Cheng Zhiwen patted Li He on the shoulder: "Celebrate well, I will say goodbye to Lao Wang first." ”Li He saw Cheng Zhiwen leave, confused, and Tang Qianqian next to him also asked Li He in confusion: "Ahe, what does this mean?"
”"I think Penguin Pictures may have plans to buy DreamWorks Studio.......s," Yang Xuewu said next to her."
Isn't it?
Are you sure?
”Tang Qianqian was surprised."
I think it also means, no matter what, let's get the "Seven Deadly Sins" done first, okay, we should go back for a small meeting."
Li He was thoughtful."
AhhNo way?
Still have a meeting?
”Tang Qianqian slumped in her chair."
Let's go.........
"Li He pulled Tang Qianqian on her back and walked out, and Yang Xuewu covered her mouth and snickered behind her.
