"So what do you want to do?"

Yu Nian was also quite curious, "Is there any best strategy?"

"Of course...... No. ”

Zhou Mu spread his hands and said: "I'm not an immortal, and I have a lot of tricks, at most there is a middle strategy...... The kind that doesn't necessarily work. ”

"Tell me about it. Yu Nian was even more curious.

Zhou Mu's voice suddenly lowered a little, "I asked someone to inquire, Yang Fan's new film is being filmed, and he is taking the road of art films, so he aimed at the film festival early." ”

"That's going to wait until next year. ”

Yu Nian nodded, not surprised. After all, the easiest way for art films to become famous is to participate in film festivals.

As long as it is shortlisted and wins the award, the film has a publicity gimmick, and it is more convenient to sell the film.

Even if it is a big director like Yang Fan, when making art films, most of them will choose the way of screening, and get twice the result with half the effort.

However, this year's MG Award has long ended.

Yang Fan wants to win the prize, so he can only wait for next year.

"No!"

Zhou Mu shook his head, "It's not MG, it's the Paradise Island Film Festival." ”

"Ahh

Yu Nian was stunned, and his eyes flashed, "It is a good choice to win awards overseas and increase international influence." ”

Yang Fan never forgot and became the director of the tribute film. But his biggest shortcoming is that he lacks enough international fame.

It's not that he is internationally unknown, but compared with Luo Tianmu, the difference is too far. Even rising stars like Yu Nian and Zhou Mu have better influence in the world than him. Therefore, if you want to become famous, the fastest way is naturally to take the international screening route.

As long as you can win the big prize, your influence will definitely increase.

Of course, this is also a helpless move.

After all, many great directors have enough weight to be called international directors after a long time and many awards have become famous overseas.

Yang Fan is cramming like this, but the effect is not very big.

Influence will definitely not spread.

However, if he is a blockbuster at the Paradise Island Film Festival, then it can also prove that his films are not necessarily limited to China, and can also be played overseas.

That's a silver lining.

Yu Nian's mind was full of thoughts, and he immediately understood Zhou Mu's plan, "You want to snipe him?"

"What a sniper, don't say it so ugly. ”

Zhou Mu smiled and said, "Don't you think that Du Changfeng's "Time Prisoner" is also suitable to participate in the screening?"

“...... And said no. ”

Yu Nian had a smile in his eyes, "Believe it or not, if you let him know that you use "Time Prisoner" to snipe him, he will definitely be furious and feel that you are insulting him." ”

"Ahem!"

Zhou Mu pouted and said, "What, how could he have such an idea? Who do you look down on, Du Changfeng is very hard-working......"

"Huh!"

Yu Nian squinted, "It's you who look down on him, but he is also a big director, but you sniped at a little director." Let him know about this, aren't you angry?"

"There is no big or small director, it all depends on the quality of the work. Zhou Mu asked rhetorically: "Do you think Du Changfeng's "Time Prisoner" is not good?"

“...... Didn't say it was bad. ”

Yu Nian pondered for a moment before he spoke: "But to be honest, this movie is a bit like an exam assignment for him, he is answering questions, even if he scores seventy or eighty points in the exam, it is not perfect, it is not satisfactory." ”

"Uh......"

Zhou Mu was stunned, "What do you mean......"

That's right, the movie "Time Prisoner" is not something he really wants to make, no matter how good it is, it is impossible to devote himself to it. ”

Yu Nian said indifferently: "For Du Changfeng, this is definitely not the most 'perfect' work he has ever made, and he can't give full play to his talent." ”

"Film works are definitely qualified, but it is difficult to break the painting!"

“......”

Zhou Mu understood, a little helpless, "It's me who owes it, I already knew ......"

"I knew it earlier, and let him make this movie. ”

Yu Nian interrupted: "I haven't gone through this movie, whether it's you and me, or himself, I don't know what his depth is." ”

"Haha. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, "Yes, so this "Time Prisoner" has become a measuring instrument." ”

"He's going to hone anyway. ”

Yu Nian said directly: "Comparing him with Yang Fan, it is indeed embarrassing for him." ”

"Understood. ”

Zhou Mu nodded, with anticipation in his eyes, "So ......"

"I'm not available. ”

Yu Nian hurriedly interrupted, and said angrily: "Okay, give me a year of rest." It's only been a few months now, and you're going to regret it? Phew, black-hearted capitalist!"

“......”

Zhou Mu scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "Do you really let me go on my own?"

He's tired too, and he wants to rest!

......

"What, you're going to make a movie, it's really fake?"

In the office, Yang Hong was surprised and delighted, a little unbelievable.

You know, Zhou Mu said before that he would take a break this year. She also expressed her understanding, after all, in the past few years, Zhou Mu has had movies released every year, and sometimes two movies a year.

This situation is rare in the industry and can be called a model worker.

Whether it's for actors or directors, the more movies released every year is not to say that more is better.

Because creation itself needs to be accumulated.

In particular, artistic creation is not an assembly line in a factory, as long as the machine is turned on, it can be produced continuously.

Despite the film industry, there is also an emphasis on industrialization.

But that refers to the division of labor, and everything can be project-based, standardized, and process-oriented. The most important thing is that every job can be found, corresponding to the corresponding professionals.

It's not that movies don't need aesthetics. No matter how simple and crude a popcorn movie is, it can't be made casually.

The seemingly simple, direct, and connotative plot has actually been carefully calculated to ensure that every rhythm and every node can mobilize the audience's emotions. This kind of precise calculation also has extremely high requirements for the ability of the main creative team itself.

Otherwise, the giants invest in more than a dozen blockbusters every year, why only a few of them make money, and the rest are basically blood losses.

Countless people hope that they can study human psychology, study the so-called big data preference, and then tailor the so-called blockbuster for the public according to the elements provided by big data, so as to control the "wealth code" and dominate the entire market.

Pity......

This idea, bankrupt.

To put it bluntly, movies are the experience of people's emotional products, and they need to open up people's spirits and hearts to occupy the market.

Human emotions are full of uncontrollability.

Big data only grasps people's habits, but it can't control people's thoughts.

You know, people's minds are faster than lightning.

One second, I thought about tasting coffee, and the next second, I thought about drinking green tea. But when I actually arrived at the store and saw bubble tea, I immediately changed my mind.

This inscrutable nature is not controlled at all. Not to mention big data, even people can't control it.

Therefore, really smart people don't study what big data or what market trend they do, but think about the movie with their hearts and shoot the movie seriously, so that the audience can feel the sincerity, and the box office will naturally not disappoint the creators.

But this sincerity is undoubtedly very energy-consuming.

Many directors, after shooting a good movie, consume years of inspiration, and they don't know what to shoot in the next movie. Therefore, we have to recharge from scratch and start work only after accumulating enough ideas.

It's called cherishing feathers and prolonging one's career.

A "prolific" director like Zhou Mu is definitely an outlier in the industry.

No, it's only been a few months off, and it's about to start.

It's simply ...... Unexpected delight.

Yang Hong was very happy and confirmed again, "Don't be coaxing me." ”

"Really. ”

Zhou Mu nodded and added, "But this time, I'm going to make a literary film." ”

"What?"

Yang Hong was stunned, "Are you making a literary film?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Mu couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Hong, your reaction is so shocking, it seems that you don't like me very much." ”

“...... Nonsense!"

Yang Hong was deflated and slumped in the boss's chair.

She was a little unwilling, and persuaded her bitterly, "Zhou Mu, you have a good time in commercial films, don't fall into the big pit of literary films." ”

"If you want to win the award, you have the star-studded Best Director trophy, and you also have the aura of tens of billions of box office, so you don't need any honors to prove yourself. ”

"Oh, yes. I also heard that you have the opportunity to be selected as a new national cultural celebrity. Although I can't get it, I haven't finished yet. But being recommended and being shortlisted is the biggest win. ”

Yang Hong kept persuading, "If you want to be famous and profitable, do you still care what some people say?"

The moment she heard that Zhou Mu was going to make a literary film, she felt that some people were encouraging Zhou Mu and saying something gossipy.

What virtue is not worthy.

What is only a literary film has connotation.

What cinema is art.

What a commercial film, just audio-visual garbage.

......

All in all, Yang Hong has heard a lot of similar words.

It can be said that during the period of acting as Xu Qinglime's agent and praising her to the top. She also played some tricks to calculate Lime's opponent.

There are really people who are fooled and can't get up from the pit of literary films.

On the contrary, under her arrangement, Xu Qinglime gradually broke away from the shackles of literary films, emerged in commercial films, and became one of the big flowers.

It is through these operations that Yang Hong fully realized.

The so-called literary films are full of connotation, and behind the deep praise, it is due to the scarcity of people who watch literary films, and the ratings will be high.

Literary youth and niche will never be the mainstream. The real public, there will not be many people who are interested in literary films.

If Qinghong Culture wants to become a giant, then it must unswervingly work hard in the field of commercial films.

"Prisoner of Time" seems to be very literary.

But after careful analysis, you can know that this is a warm film dressed in literary and artistic clothing, time reset, suspense and solving the case, is the biggest selling point.

Therefore, the core of the movie is still the mainstream of commercial popularity.

Regarding Yang Hong's bitter persuasion, Zhou Mu couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister Hong, don't worry, I wasn't bewitched by anyone to make a literary film." ”

"In fact, the movie I'm going to make just looks literary. Rest assured, I will never forget what my basic plate is. ”

Zhou Mu is very serious, he has always known that he is a vulgar person. When he was on Earth, what he watched the most was always commercial films.

Literary films or something, it was by chance, and I only watched some sporadically. It's like "Perfume", he knew it first, and then he watched the movie curiously. After reading it, I didn't have any big feelings.

Maybe he was born without artistic cells.

Of course, this does not prevent him from communicating with his peers with his mouths full of art, realm, and connotation.

Seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts, this is the basic skill of actors.

"Good, good!"

Yang Hong sighed and came to her senses, "So what are you going to shoot?

"I had an idea, but I didn't write a script. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, "The main thing is that I want to find the actors first, and then determine the script." ”

"Huh!"

Yang Hong was stunned.

Generally speaking, the director first determines the script, looks for suitable actors according to the character settings of the script, and then slowly makes some minor adjustments during the filming process to make the actors and characters more compatible.

Zhou Mu is now, but he has to find actors first and then write a script.

This is rare in the industry, but it is not impossible. In this case, there is also a professional term, called ...... Tailor-made.

In an instant, Yang Hong reacted, "Lime hasn't filmed for a long time, get a heroine for her to play." Don't be paid, do voluntary labor. ”

“......”

Zhou Mu smiled and cried, "I'll try my best, try to arrange." ”

"Don't try, it's a must. ”

Yang Hong said angrily: "Otherwise, you should hurry up and shoot "Super Body 4", otherwise it will make me upset to watch her pick her feet at home every day." ”

“...... OK, OK, yes, yes. "Zhou Mu doesn't care.

"What about you?"

Yang Hong asked curiously, "Do you want to play the leading role?"

"I'm thinking about ......"

Zhou Mu smiled, "This is a group drama, not only one protagonist." ”

“...... Okay. ”

Yang Hong waved her hand, "You can do it yourself." What kind of actor to invite, how much budget to get, just make a report at that time. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu nodded.

This is a tacit understanding after several years of cooperation, and there is no need to say much.

He hesitated, and suddenly asked, "Sister Hong, do you know Lin Jiayu's whereabouts?"

Since the "photo" was exposed, Lin Jiayu has disappeared in the entertainment industry.

There was no warning, no goodbye, not even on social networks, there was no message, it was just silent, disappeared.

It's the rhythm of going out of the circle.

His endorsements and advertisements have been withdrawn from TV stations and websites. Even airports, subway stations, bus stations, shopping mall electronic screens, elevator videos, etc., do not have him.

This is a posture of blocking the whole line and directly withdrawing from the circle.

I don't know how much he paid to make the brokerage company, as well as the advertisements and merchants involved by him, not trouble him.

All in all, the boiling criticism at that time, and now the sighs and regrets of some people, as well as the public's indifference and indifference.

All of them prove one thing.

No matter how popular an artist is, no matter how top-notch a superstar is, it is not indispensable, and no one in the entertainment industry is still so prosperous.

It's been a long time since you've disappeared, and who remembers who you are?

White beans remind you: ask for a collection after reading (), and then look at it more conveniently.
