Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 116: Can any genre really be filmed?

Han Sanpin?
Gu Bei never chases stars,

I just like to listen to Chinese entertainment gossip while eating.
Everyone felt a vague sense of familiarity with this name.

He then checked in the entertainment treasure house,
Wow, so many film supervisors and producers,
He is also the chief director of "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party".

Judging from this resume, he must be a general manager of China Film Group, right?

"Mr. Han, it's definitely not a bother to feel supported by your home country. You're welcome."

Gu Bei has no requests for China Film Group for the time being, but he is also generous in expressing his friendly attitude.

"Too small, too small!"

Zhao Guanxiang reminded in a low voice, "This is Mr. Han, the chairman of China Film Group."

Han Sanpin looks a bit fierce, but his attitude is very kind: "Xiao Zhao, you can't say this casually. You are still the vice chairman now."

'Still now', doesn't that mean he'll be promoted soon?

Gu Bei immediately understood.

Why are there so many uninvited Chinese entertainment stars at my own screening? It turns out it’s all because of Mr. Han!
Gu Bei's memory gradually became clearer.

When I was listening to gossip in the past, I seemed to have heard that this person was the father of the screenwriter of "Dying to Survive", and he was also the founder of the era of Chinese blockbuster movies.

When Gu Bei brought Han Sanpin and others into the venue,
Han Sanpin smiled and said, "I'm very interested in the new genres you mentioned in the interview. Don't you think that period piece films aren't the future of Chinese cinema?"

"Movies are not like television. Movies always need new excitement. Audiences will get bored of any genre."

Gu Bei doesn't watch costume films.
But he didn't need to think carefully to know that there would be very few costume films on the future box office charts.

Even if there is, it is ancient costumes plus other elements, which is completely different from the current costume blockbusters.

"You are now developing in Hollywood and have a broader vision. What types of films do you think Chinese films can learn from?" Han Sanpin asked curiously, wanting to see Gu Bei's answer.

"Can we really shoot any type of film?" Gu Bei's heart moved, and he had an idea.

"Of course, China Film Group has both the funds and the strength. There is no genre of film that China Film Group cannot produce."

Han Sanpin said domineeringly that even science fiction films are now supported by China Film Group, but the domestic market cannot support it for the time being.

Gu Bei blurted out: "Zombie movie!"

Han Sanpin was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He was ready for Gu Bei to talk about science fiction, fantasy, and even cartoons, which are regulars on the Hollywood box office charts.

however……

What the hell is a zombie movie?

"Young people... do have active minds."

Han Sanpin didn't know how to comment.

Gu Bei heard Han Sanpin's tone,

I tactfully didn't continue the topic.

In fact, he really wanted to use the script of "Train to Busan" to make a movie called "Train to Hangzhou".

The Resident Evil series is similar to the Transformers series in that the North American box office was already terrible by the end of the filming process, but the Chinese box office was unexpectedly high, even exceeding the North American box office.

The 2017 film "Endgame" had a box office of over 10 billion, just like "Transformers", and it surpassed the three major superheroes of that year: Spider-Man, Thor, and Wolverine.

In fact, Resident Evil just used the genre of science fiction to get approved.

In fact, it fills the gap in domestic horror films.

If "Hangzhou City Trip" can pass the review,
The thrilling zombie chase + more in line with East Asian emotional resonance,

I don’t think the box office results will be bad.

But the prerequisite is that it can pass the review,

If Gu Bei shot it himself, there is absolutely no chance of it passing the review.

But if it has the support of China Film Group, there is some hope, after all, China Film Group is the one that introduced the Resident Evil series to China.

"Xiao Zhao, are you young people really into zombie movies these days?" Han Sanpin asked Zhao Guanxiang curiously after watching Gu Bei leave. "Well... Resident Evil has always been quite popular."

Zhao Guanxiang spoke hesitantly, not daring to say much for fear of interfering with Han Sanpin's decision.

Han Sanpin seemed to be thinking about something.

He had originally not planned to come to this year's Cannes.

But after the Cannes nominees were announced, Gu Bei was discovered, a talented director who was nominated for Cannes at the age of 20.

He is about to take office as the chairman of China Film Group Corporation and can finally let go and do his best. What he lacks most now is a director who can make good movies.

But... zombie movies,

The risk is simply too great!

Han Sanpin shook his head and decided to let it go for now.

Gu Bei just returned to the backstage,

Liu Yifei excitedly talked to him about Gong Li: "Sister Gong Li is so nice and looks so young. She even praised the dress I chose for the opening ceremony!"

"Since my sister has called you, Aunt Liu will probably be sad when she hears what you said." Gu Bei teased with a smile.

"Don't try to sow discord between me and my mother.

My mom looks very young too, and we get along just like friends.”

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Gu Bei.

at this time,

Producer Joe walked in and said, "Bruce, it seems you have quite a few friends in China. So many people came to support you."

Gu Bei replied calmly: "We Chinese have always been more united."

With the arrival of so many Chinese entertainment stars, the screening event has become even more star-studded.

This is Cannes after all, not Hollywood.

Gong Li's popularity among Cannes film fans is no less than Brad Pitt's.

Wang Jiawei and Zhang Ziyi are also quite popular among Cannes film fans.

"What about Ms. Pascal?"

Joe inquired curiously.

"Who?"

Gu Bei was a little confused.

Joe pointed to a capable woman in a white suit: "Amy Pascal, she is the co-chairman of the board of directors of Sony Pictures and the most powerful woman in Sony Pictures."

"I don't know her." Gu Bei shook his head.

"That's a shame. She'd probably have a lot in common with you. She was a huge fan of chick flicks back in the 1990s."

"Let's just focus on our screening."

Gu Bei didn't care much.

Although being a big boss is good, he has no shortage of projects.

The screening ended smoothly.

Gu Bei had already completed most of his work in Cannes.
He can continue to participate in other film screenings, or he can temporarily leave Cannes and wait to see if the organizers will contact him.

In fact, most of the people who come to Cannes,
Just join in the excitement of the first few days and the last few days.

Gu Bei naturally chose to leave Cannes. If it weren't for the film festival, this small town actually had nothing particularly attractive.

He and Liu Yifei came to Nice,

Compared to the crowded Cannes, Nice is the place that is truly suitable for vacation.
The sky is blue, the sea is blue, but it’s a pity that we can’t see Liu Yifei in her swimsuit.
