Chatting with Fatty Hu from the Japanese entertainment industry to the Korean entertainment industry and finally to the domestic entertainment industry opened Wang Yan's horizons. Gossips that had never been heard before were easily revealed in Fatty Hu's mouth.
Especially the kind of rosy gossip and hidden rules about female stars that he cares about. What Fatty Hu is talking about is spitting. Which female stars may have been hidden in the past, and which actresses have been protected in the past. If he hadn't known that Fatty Hu was a director, Wang Yan would have doubted whether he was a paparazzi.
After talking about these gossips, Fatty Hu was not finished talking, and he also passed on some interesting things about his filming. He didn't know it unless he told him. When he told him, he was shocked. Wang Yan didn't expect that Fatty Hu was only a few years older than himself at most. It looks very ordinary, but this is called connotation.
According to him, in just two years, he has handled dozens of films of this kind, and some of the current audiences have almost developed the effect.
¡°Furthermore, Wang Yan also felt from Fatty Hu¡¯s complacent tone that this damn fat guy must have made a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have such an expression that he didn¡¯t deserve a beating. You know, in this open-caste country, action scenes in bed are nothing to worry about, they are as common as eating. It is this atmosphere that makes more girls join this industry.
You can become a big star and make money, so why not?
Wang Yan listened to Fatty Hu's tone, and he was also thinking about it. He felt that most girls were still too naive. After all, not every girl who made this kind of film could be like Teacher Cang or Teacher Wu. More likely, they could even be good. All have become extravagant hopes, and finally fell into the dust of the world.
Listening to Fatty Hu still spitting and talking about the sales of various types of movies, such as Lolita, high school students, sailor uniforms, etc., Wang Yan began to admire this guy. He was definitely born to do this kind of thing. Body art.
"How much money can you make by making a film like this? How do you find so many girls? Do you recruit directly?" Wang Yan felt that he was a good student and asked the question that puzzled him the most.
Listening to Wang Yan's inquiry, Fatty Hu gave him a look of disdain and said: "Hey, filming also requires star energy, just like a big cast. You must have big stars and big productions. Our kind of art The same goes for movies. The actress is very popular, so it¡¯s not a problem if the movie she produces can sell for close to 20,000 yen a piece.¡±
Hearing this, Wang Yan felt that this was not a movie, but a money grab. It's close to 20,000 yen, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan when converted into RMB, which is 1,000 yuan per piece. Damn it, if this was done in China, how would you survive if you had to hang a silk thread? It doesn't matter if Diao Si can't find a wife, even the fifth girl's rights have been deprived.
Looking at Wang Yan's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Fatty Hu finally became humble and said, "Of course, the sales volume of this kind of film is not much"
Wang Yan understood what Fatty Hu meant. It turns out that this kind of film is produced in different formats, and those bought at domestic roadside stalls are pirated CDs. Of course I don¡¯t understand.
But in Japan, piracy is almost extinct. When this kind of film is produced, it is first produced in the vhs format, which means that the price of the film in this format is very expensive, reaching more than 10,000 yen, and the other is the dvd format. The price of this kind of film is not high, about a quarter of the price of VHS, a few thousand yen, but it is not something that most Chinese compatriots are willing to buy. After all, a disc costs more than 100 or 200 yen. It's better to go to a hair salon or bathing center and call a beautiful girl.
Wang Yan couldn¡¯t understand what the Japanese audience was thinking. Anyway, he felt a little fantasy after hearing it. Damn, in China, a genuine big-cast movie disc only costs about 20 or 30, how many hundred? This will completely break the pace of China's genuine road.
Wang Yan didn¡¯t want to continue discussing this topic, he was afraid that he couldn¡¯t stand being a little jealous. He didn't want his directorial debut to be linked to this kind of film.
Seeing that Wang Yan had no intention of continuing the topic, Fatty Hu also changed the topic at the right time and asked: "By the way, I heard you said that you are filming in Japan, which is not far from Tokyo. I will go visit you one day. Class."
Seeing how familiar Fatty Hu was, Wang Yan couldn't dampen his enthusiasm and said directly: "We are filming in Haruna Mountain. Come over and give me a message when the time comes."
I heard that Wang Yan was filming in Haruna Mountain. Fatty Hu took a picture of Wang Yan and said: "I know, "Initial D" is not it. Last year, I heard that a Chinese film company came to buy the copyright of this comic. I didn't expect it. It turns out to be your crew, you keep the secrets very tightly, you are very low-key, you are really low-key."
Wang Yan was not too surprised that Fatty Hu knew this news. This guy even knew the unspoken rules for actresses in the entertainment industry in South Korea. These were really trivial.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s not that we are low-key, it¡¯s actually the Japanese entertainment industry that looks down upon us.??Small fish and shrimp. "Wang Yan was very relieved. Of course, this was related to his character. He didn't want these reporters to disturb the filming progress. After all, if he shot for one more day, the money would be wasted.
Hearing what Wang Yan said, Fatty Hu smiled and said: "Who would have known that the progress in the Mainland was so fast? I only bought the copyright last year, and in just a month or two, the script and everything were ready to start filming."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Brother, don't blame me for not taking care of you. We all live in the same place. No matter how good you are outside, it's best to be at home. You can follow me later, and he will help you get to know some people." Film producer, let¡¯s make some friendships by the way. You are also an artist from the investor¡¯s company anyway. With this weight, you might be able to gain some say, right?¡±
Wang Yan didn¡¯t expect that Fatty Hu was so enthusiastic and could introduce film producers. Is this the director of a bed action movie? Damn it, are all the Japanese directors who made this film so awesome?
Just when Wang Yan was thinking about it, Liu Weiqiang had already walked over from the cocktail party, greeted Wang Yan and Tangtang and said, "Okay, the award ceremony is about to begin, the three of us will go together ¡¡±
This time the organizer is just giving Liu Weiqiang some face. The three of them are just soy sauce people. Who in the Japanese audience can recognize them?
When Fatty Hu heard what Director Liu Weiqiang said, he stopped talking and walked towards the other side.
Wang Yan watched Fatty Hu leave and thought to himself: "Isn't this fat guy just making fun of me?"
Thinking like this, he didn't feel upset. After all, they really made him understand a lot of things. Besides, how could a bed action movie director know any film producers?
With this idea, Wang Yan stopped worrying about this issue. Following Liu Weiqiang, he walked out of the reception door and walked toward the Kunlun Hall on the other side.
We haven¡¯t gotten close to Kunlun Hall yet. You can hear the shouts like a mountain roaring and a tsunami inside. Japanese movie fans can be regarded as famous in Asia, and they will do anything for their idols.
One decibel wave after another swept over. Director Liu Weiqiang responded to the request of the awards ceremony committee this time and came here just to visit the venue, so their red carpet appearance was in the middle, which was not a good time.
Wang Yan was not in the mood to care about this this time, and followed Director Liu Weiqiang casually, with Tangtang beside him. He put his arm around Wang Yan's shoulders and was very obedient.
We walked to the location arranged by the awards ceremony organizing committee. It was a good location. It was on the third row. In front of it were Japan¡¯s big-name stars, producers, and director teams.
Within a few minutes of landing on the seat, Wang Yan found that there was an acquaintance next to his seat, it was Fatty Hu. Fatty Hu was also very happy to see Wang Yan. Ignoring the award ceremony where the best actor host was opening the ceremony, he started chatting with Wang Yan.
"Wang Yan. In fact, this award ceremony is boring. You don't know it if you don't hang out in Japan. If you hang around here again, you will know that the Japanese Oscars are like that. Every year, the results are divided, and the spoils are still unevenly divided. Unless something really happens. No matter how good a movie is, the big movie companies will keep it to themselves."
Fatty Hu glanced at the host on the stage and tore open the inside of the award ceremony without any politeness. When Wang Yan heard this, he felt that it was similar to some domestic awards, where you had to queue up to win. It seems that this is not exclusive to domestic award ceremonies.
While chatting with Fatty Hu, the award ceremony continued, and some unimportant awards were brought out one by one. Although Wang Yan could not understand Japanese, one of the names always appeared, and he couldn't help but ask Fatty Hu: "What's this?" What kind of movie is so awesome?¡±
"Haha, this movie is not bad. It is said that it has a box office of 8.5 billion yen. The supporting actress is very beautiful. It would be great if I can get her to play the heroine in my film."
Fatty Hu sighed with emotion, then pointed to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan saw an intellectual beauty sitting in the second row, in front of him.
??Masami Nagasawa, she just won a grand prize.
Listening to Fatty Hu's explanation, Wang Yan understood that it turned out that the movie was called "Call for Love in the Center of the World" and had already won five awards, including Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actress, and the intellectual beauty Masami Nagasawa It's the winner of Best Supporting Actress.
Wang Yan selectively filtered Fatty Hu¡¯s thoughts. In Japan, these actors would basically not shoot this kind of film. After all, they have already won the award and will be able to make movies in the future.
Of course, this situation cannot be ruled out. After all, football is round and anything can happen.
Although he couldn't understand Japanese, fortunately, Fatty Hu was beside him to help translate and explain. Wang Yan watched with great interest, because there were many beauties, and as the awards were awarded one after another, looking at the actors, Director'sWang Yan found it very interesting to express anger, sorrow and joy.
Four hours passed unknowingly, and this year's Film Academy Awards came to an end. In the end, the most important award was indeed not the aforementioned "Call for Love at the Center of the World", but a movie called "Blood and Bone" , according to Fatty Hu, this movie is also an adaptation of a best-selling novel by a Korean writer living in Japan.
"Blood and Bone" became the big winner at this year's Japanese Academy Awards, winning three awards: Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.
Wang Yan was thinking that if she had time to watch these movies, they might be able to bring her some inspiration.
"Let's go to the cocktail party together and introduce you to some film producers. They are definitely interested in becoming the film producers of our Chinese films." Fatty Hu saw the award ceremony ending and pulled Wang Yan and said.
