Chapter 359 The most suitable director for special effects blockbusters [3340 monthly pass plus update]

In fact, if Zhang Yimou promised to give up the final editing right, he was indeed Yue Guan's first choice.

His popularity and appeal are still in the first gear among directors, with Yue Guan to help him make up for the shortcomings of the script, coupled with enough investment and special effects production, it should not be difficult for "Fengshen Series" to explode.

But Zhang Yimou was unwilling.

Yue Guan didn't force it.

Because he has alternatives.

And before the national teacher took the initiative to contact him, that talent was Yue Guan's first choice.

It's just that because the national teacher is too famous, Yue Guan met the national teacher first.

But in fact, in fact, from the very beginning, Yue Guan estimated that it would be difficult for him and the national teacher to reach cooperation.

Great directors have their own pride, and it is unrealistic to expect a national teacher to be as obedient as Wang Jing.

But Yue Guan really can't believe the national teacher's record in the blockbuster, and it is unrealistic for him to hand over control.

Therefore, he did not have much hope in the first place.

Zhang Min is still a pity, because Zhang Yimou is the director who is the best at praising actors, especially actresses.

If she acted in Zhang Yimou's movie, she would be a Mou girl.

Think of Gonghuang and the International Chapter.

Domestic actresses, few people can refuse the call of the national teacher movie.

"Yue Guan, if Zhang Yimou is allowed to shoot, there is a great possibility to win the award. Zhang Min reminded.

Yue Guan smiled: "If I want to win the award, I don't need to rely on Zhang Yimou." And "Fengshen Series", I don't need the director to have too many personal subjective ideas, it is enough to shoot the content written in the script honestly, the more the director's ideas are filmed, the more ugly it will be. ”

Commercial blockbusters, the most taboo director mixed with values.

It is enough to have a good-looking story and a special effect that will amaze the audience.

But the bigger the director, the more dissatisfied he is with this.

"Yue Guan, this is very contradictory. Do you also hope that the director can have a strong ability to control the crew, and you hope that the director can not have too many personal subjective thoughts, is there such a director in our country except Wang Jing?"

"There are still some of them, but there are really not many. ”

Yue Guan was also not sure if the director he fancied would be good.

If it really doesn't work, then he can only find a new director.

Fortunately, it turns out that he was not wrong.

Next.

It's still a Miracle Company meeting room.

Yue Guan saw Wu Yishan.

This name is not particularly loud in the minds of fans, it is far worse than Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, and it is not as good as the rising star Ning Hao.

But in Yue Guan's mind, Wu Yishan's control of special effects commercial blockbusters can be called the first in China, especially the magic theme.

This is a director whose works are more famous than others, and such a director is rare in today's era.

"Wudao, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Yue Guan was very enthusiastic.

And Wu Yishan is a little cramped.

There are no secrets in the industry.

It is no secret that Zhang Yimou contacted Miracle Company and wanted to get involved in the position of director of "Fengshen Series".

Even though he thinks highly of himself, compared to Zhang Yimou, he will not be arrogant enough to think that he is better than Zhang Yimou.

So Wu Yishan was very worried that Yue Guan would say "sorry".

To his relief, this fear did not materialize.

"I have seen all three of Director Wu's movies, "Sword Laughter", "Painted Skin 2", "Looking for the Dragon", step by step, the investment is getting bigger and bigger, the special effects are getting better and better, and Director Wu's skills are also making visible progress to the naked eye. Especially "Looking for the Dragon", with the investment in "Looking for the Dragon", the quality of "Looking for the Dragon" can be achieved with that money, and among domestic directors, Director Wu should be the first person. ”

Yue Guan's praise made Wu Yishan very weak-hearted.

"Mr. Yue is too polite, I have only made three movies, and I am not the first person. ”

"Although I have only made three movies, I am very optimistic about the strength of Director Wu. There are many directors in China who can make good police and gangster films, many directors who can make good literary films, and many directors who can make good comedy films, but in my eyes, directors who can make heavy industry blockbusters with big investment and big production represent the hope of domestic films, and Wu Dao You are a rare director in China who can make heavy industry blockbusters with big investment and big production. ”

Yue Guan's words not only shocked Wu Yishan, but even Mo Xiangwan and Zhang Min, who were listening, looked at him in surprise.

No one expected Yue Guan to value Wu Yishan so much.

Wu Yishan hurriedly said modestly: "Mr. Yue, you are really too famous. ”

Yue Guan shook his head: "I'm serious, police and gangster films, literary films, comedy films, no matter how well this theme is made, it will not be able to make fundamental progress in domestic films, nor can it compete with Hollywood's commercial blockbusters." Only heavy industry blockbusters can compete with heavy industry blockbusters, and only when heavy industry blockbusters are made well, domestic films can be regarded as making fundamental progress, but unfortunately, there are too few directors in China who can make this kind of heavy industry blockbusters well. ”

Yue Guan is not touting Wu Yishan, he is talking about a status quo.

Genres like comedies and cop movies have a ceiling, and you can't expect them to compete with Hollywood's special effects blockbusters.

But the rise of sci-fi blockbusters like "The Wandering Earth" will give the audience hope.

Because it represents hope.

Only magic can defeat magic.

Only blockbusters can compete with blockbusters.

Compared with Ning Hao, who was licked wildly by the protagonists of Dian Niang's entertainment and literature, Yue Guan actually values Wu Yishan more.

Ning Hao is good at a limited subject matter, and he is an excellent genre film director, but he is not good at making big-budget movies, and the sci-fi movie "Crazy Alien" was actually quite awkward by him, and it did not meet expectations.

And Wu Yishan is a rare director in China who can restrain his desire for self-expression, spend all his money on the blade, and concentrate on making commercial special effects blockbusters.

If he can succeed, it will actually be more meaningful than Ning Hao's success.

However, Wu Yishan is too prolific, and he only has three movies under his name: "Sword Laughter", "Painted Skin 2" and "Looking for the Dragon", and then he went to plan "Fengshen".

This is a matter of the last life.

How was Wu Yishan's "Fengshen" filmed, Yue Guan hadn't seen the answer in his previous life, but he didn't have the opportunity to plan it himself in this life.

Miracle Company set up the project "Fengshen", and other companies will definitely not work against Miracle Company, that is looking for death.

Yue Guan simply pulled Wu Yishan over.

Judging from the historical record, each of Wu Yishan's three movies made money, and "Painted Skin 2" also set a box office record for domestic films at that time, and "Looking for the Dragon" was also the culmination that domestic heavy industry films could achieve at that time.

So far, at least he hasn't failed.

Trustworthy for the time being.

One of the problems of Wu Yishan is actually that the story is not well told, which is very similar to the national teacher.

But joining Yue Guan's "Fengshen Series" project, he doesn't have to worry about this problem.

"Director Wu, we have already passed the gas before, do you want to join this project, let's join forces to make a real Xianxia blockbuster. ”

Wu Yishan smiled: "It's my honor. ”
