Chapter 501: The Waywardness of the Great Director

The so-called classics must mean never getting tired of watching them, even after a few years, more than ten years, or even decades, everyone still likes to watch them, and the aftertaste is endless.

Many movies are produced every year, but very few can become classics. The most important thing is that the classics are not spoken, they need time to precipitate.

Ten years is the boundary.

When a movie was made, it caused a sensation at the time, and ten years later, some people discussed it repeatedly, and it must be a classic if you look at it again.

Of course, there are other cases......

For example, a great director has stood up and endorsed his reputation for many years, saying that the movie he wants to make is a classic.

In this case, people are generally skeptical.

The suspicion of the doubt.

This is already good, if it were another director, if he came up and said that he wanted to make a classic, he would definitely be ridiculed and scoffed at.

But this person is Yang Fan, and everyone has to be cautious.

Press briefing.

Everyone's eyes converged on the front desk.

Under the focus, Yang Fan looked calm and very calm, "You heard it right, I can assert that this movie is a classic, ten years ahead of the industry." ”

The crowd below was in an uproar again.

So confident?

Some people's eyes flashed with strange colors.

Although it is said that in the past few years, the signboard of the big director has become more and more difficult to use. Except for Luo Tianmu, the box office of other big directors' works has basically not won the box office champion.

But qualifications, prestige, status, and resources are all in the hands of others. So there is no one who doesn't open his eyes and thinks that the big director is easy to bully. No matter what you think in your heart, you must be respectful and polite on the surface.

What's more, Yang Fan ......

His films, although the commercial narrative is good, are generally biased towards literature and art. This is a regular attendee at the awards ceremony, and the box office has never been high.

Everyone also knows this, so they never ask him for a high box office.

Just don't lose a small profit.

The market should be inclusive, and no matter how hot the commercial film market is, other types of films must be allowed to exist to meet the needs of a small group of people.

It's just that this small number of people are particularly good at playing with pens. In their writings, Yang Fan's films are all full of connotation, lofty intentions, and intriguing.

It's food for their spirits.

However, the spring and white snow will inevitably be high and low. So it is understandable that Yang Fan's movies are not high at the box office.

Of course, this does not affect his status as a great director.

So when he spoke, everyone was listening, and when he finished speaking, a group of reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands.

Yang Fan casually pointed at random, "The front row, the one in the middle." ”

A reporter was excited, got up and said immediately: "Congratulations to Director Yang for making a new film, may I ask this time, what are the considerations in terms of casting?"

Others immediately stopped, and this was the answer they wanted to know. Making movies, directors and actors are nothing more than the issues that the public is most concerned about.

The new film of a big director, whether it is cooperating with a big-name actor or using a newcomer, has enough topics and popularity.

"Actor ......"

Yang Fan groaned.

Next to him, He Ying's eyes showed a hint of hope.

To be honest, she told Zhou Mu before that the actor in the movie is none other than him, which is definitely not a polite remark, but the most genuine idea.

In He Ying's view, the success of this movie largely depends on the performance of the actors. After completing the script, the first figure that came to her mind was Zhou Mu.

The reason is simple.

She collected a lot of material and consulted a lot of information. In the end, the deeds of many stars and directors were extracted and kneaded into a script.

Among them, Zhou Mu's deeds are not the most distinct, but they are undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

In the past ten years, there must be a single actor or a single director who is better than Zhou Mu. The problem is that the actor has both identities as a director, and the most successful person is no one else but him.

It's the perfect fit.

That's just one of the reasons.

In addition, in the setting of the script, the timeline of the protagonist's age is not small. From young to middle-aged, gradually push forward.

Therefore, for the convenience of filming, it is necessary to find young actors to act, so that the audience will not play. But there are many young actors, but there are almost no more than Zhou Muhuo.

Besides, that kind of superstar demeanor, powerful aura. A powerful young actor may be able to act with a taste.

But......

Zhou Mu came to act, it was not acting, it was called true performance. When the protagonist of the movie became famous and became popular in the world, the audience immediately had a strong sense of generation.

Because that, in itself, is reality.

The "fiction" of the film and the "realism" of reality are entangled with each other. He Ying is sure that this can definitely bring a strong sense of excitement to the audience.

So she looked forward to Yang Fan and listened to her advice.

Don't give up on Zhou Mu.

This matter has not collapsed, and it can be discussed.

How......

Yang Fan spoke, his tone was very relaxed, "The movie is still in preparation, but some roles have indeed not been decided, especially the male lead, which is undecided." I'm more inclined to work with newcomers. ”

Finished!

He Ying's body went weak and lost her spirit.

The reporter at the bottom is not surprised.

It's no secret that great directors like to use newcomers.

The more big-name directors are, the more they enjoy this process of training newcomers into "actors" and "actresses", which is their fun.

To be fair, this is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous to the industry.

Hematopoiesis for the industry and the delivery of talents.

Fresh faces, it is estimated that the audience also likes it.

The same goes for journalists.

Liking the new and hating the old is a common disease of human beings.

Oh, maybe the fans are better, they like the new and don't get tired of the old, and there are more walls.

"Director Yang ......"

Caught off guard, another reporter got permission and got up and asked: "Some time ago, I heard that you have the intention to cooperate with relevant departments to make a tribute film." But now, you're preparing a new film, aren't you afraid of schedule conflicts?"

Hey?

Is there such a thing?

Some reporters learned about the latter and hurriedly listened intently.

Whether it's a tribute film or this new project, for them, it's a good news material that can't be missed.

"Tribute?"

In response to the reporter's question, Yang Fan said lightly: "What there is no matter is purely chasing after the wind, don't listen to rumors." ”

"Recently, my only project is the film in front of me. For the rest of my life, the focus of my work was basically on this matter. ”

Yang Fan said slowly: "So I hope everyone, don't spread the rumors, thank you." ”

Wow!

There was another uproar.

Some reporters were pleasantly surprised, but they received the exact tip, Yang Fan contacted the Film Bureau several times, and obviously wanted to take over the project.

But now it is said that there is no such thing.

Is this a ruckus?

For reporters who are "afraid that the world will not be chaotic", the trouble is undoubtedly more newsworthy.

So some people got excited. At the moment, they talked about it, and if they didn't find out the "truth", they would not give up.

"Director Yang, what's going on, is there an inside story?"

"If you hadn't taken over the tribute film, who would have replaced you?"

"Director Yang, is it that the relevant departments have put forward any requirements, and you can't complete them?"

“......”

The sound of disturbance broke the order of the press conference.

The attention of the crowd immediately shifted. This is also normal, after all, with regular movie promotion, where is the gossip insider attractive?

Even He Ying couldn't help but look sideways. She didn't know that before she handed over the script, Yang Fan had contact with relevant departments.

It is no wonder that Yang Fan was vague before and did not give a clear answer.

A few days ago, in the finalization, participate in this project.

This means that Yang Fan gave up the gift film, or the gift film gave up on him. In fact, there is no difference between the two, and the result is the same.

Anyway, he joined the crew after he gave up with the gift film.

You're welcome......

He Ying's project, in Yang Fan's eyes, is a spare tire.

Now that the spare tire is turned positive, He Ying can't be happy.

I knew it earlier......

Inexplicably, she regretted it in her heart. She values the director's fame so much that she has now lost the initiative.

It's a pity that the contract was signed, and it was too late to regret it. Even if she wanted to break the contract, the investor was not willing. abandoned her every minute and turned to Yang Fan's arms.

As for the script......

In the film and television industry, the most valuable thing is the script.

The least valuable is also the script.

Kick the original screenwriter out of the game, and find another screenwriter to create a similar script. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the industry.

Even if He Ying is famous, she can't guarantee that such a thing will not happen to her.

She couldn't afford to gamble, so she could only endure it.

“......”

Under the chaos, Yang Fan was unhurried and said calmly: "It's the "Perfect Life" movie press conference, and I refuse to answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie. ”

Seeing a group of reporters, still unrelenting, he simply stood up and announced, "This is the end of the press conference, goodbye!"

He turned and walked away, without the slightest reminiscent.

The big director is so capricious. A group of reporters hurriedly took pictures, and it was not strange. Turning around and walking can be regarded as a polite way to deal with it.

There are also reporters who have encountered that, in a bunch of questions, a certain big director became angry and threw the microphone in his hand directly at the reporter.

After a shocking bang, the reporter collapsed in a pool of blood.

At that time, it caused a sensation around the world and became the focus of attention.

Fortunately, the reporter was fine, but he had a broken skin on his forehead, seven or eight stitches in the hospital, and he could be discharged after half a month of recuperation.

As for the big director, he also "rested" for two years before he dared to make a comeback.

Oh yes.

This great director is Yang Fan. But that's too, many years ago. He has now become much more "Buddhist".

A group of reporters smiled and dispersed.

Yang Fan doesn't say it, it doesn't matter.

Under the sky, there is no impermeable wall. Since they know that there is such a thing, then they must dig to the bottom.

So the next day, the overwhelming reports made the people who eat melons very enjoyable.

In an article, not only the great director Yang Fan, but also the relevant departments had contradictions, resulting in the loss of the gift film project.

In addition, someone revealed that the actor of the crew of "Perfect Life" originally belonged to Zhou Mu, but after Yang Fan took over the project, he immediately rejected it......

The heat of the latter, hanging the former!
