"Hello Director Tang, hello teachers, this project I brought is a romance film..."

Han Yi, a graduate student of the directing department of the Film Academy, introduced her project on stage, and her film project appeared on the big screen.

"The male protagonist encountered his fiancée's cheating.,Came out of the bar and suddenly met the heroine on the road.,The heroine kissed directly without saying a word and planned to leave.,The male protagonist who just suffered a blow from falling out of love can't accept the act of kissing someone he doesn't know.,And expressed dissatisfaction.。

I didn't think that the heroine took the hero to do a series of crazy things, stealing toys from the toy store, giving the doctor sashimi, etc., but after the separation, the hero accidentally saw a car accident on the news, and the girl who died in the car accident was exactly the same as the heroine.

So the hero catches up with the heroine.,It turns out that today is the heroine's birthday.,She was hit by a car in order to go to the toy store across the road to buy a toy that was exactly the same as the one her mother gave her when she was a child.。

She's dead, so she wants to go crazy and do things she couldn't do in her life: kissing strangers, giving toys to children, being a sashimi master, loving someone, diving......

Then the male protagonist accompanied her to fulfill all her wishes, and finally accompanied her to dive into the water, and found the diamond ring he threw in the water because of his fiancée's cheating, and put a ...... on the heroine"

This should be one of the better of these 30 projects, although the type and creativity are not very impressive, but at least they are much stronger than the one just now.

However, there was still not much of a selling point, and this was one of the five people who were later selected for this masterclass.

The five people who were selected either used their own projects or rewrote a story to form a movie "City in Love", and each person directed his own share, which is equivalent to five short stories.

This is a story in that film, or the first version, and it has changed a lot compared to the movie.

Tang An listened patiently to her before asking, "There can't be ghosts in the movie, otherwise you can't pass the trial, you should know this, right?"

In addition to online dramas and online universities, ghosts cannot appear in film and television dramas, which is almost known inside and outside the industry.

The ghosts have been changed to all kinds of monsters, and later even online dramas were banned.

As for Sun Wukong's havoc in the underworld in "Journey to the West", the black and white impermanence in it, bull heads and horse noodles, these are all considered to be organized in the underworld, and they can be regarded as gods.

However, in Zhang Jizhong's "New Journey to the West", the episode of Tang Taizong's visit to the underworld was deleted when he was on the stars, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva that appeared in that episode was still a man, with a mustache...

The ancient masterpieces have relaxed the requirements a little, and there are ghosts in other films, which must be river crabs.

Han Yi, as a master's degree in directing, of course knows this, and she immediately said, "Even if it can't be released in China, it can be sold overseas." ”

Selling Overseas Copyrights...

Tang An shook his head, young people, especially such a master's degree in the directing department of the film academy, a real master's degree, is not comparable to a postdoctoral fellow with a score of 19 in mathematics in the college entrance examination.

The eyes are above the top, and the investment in this project has not been scratched, so I am thinking about selling overseas copyrights.

Probably in their minds, they took the film to an overseas film festival that specializes in selling films to rent a showroom, or simply set up a stall with projection equipment, which happened to be seen by overseas film companies, and the other party took a look at it and spent millions of dollars to buy overseas copyrights.

This happens, and it happens every year, but it's very unlikely compared to that huge base.

Tang An nodded, "That's right, you can sell overseas copyrights, "Fireworks in the Day" produced by the 12-year venture capital conference just won the Golden Bear Award and Best Actor in Berlin, and it didn't take two days to sell the copyrights of several countries and recover the cost. ”

At first, he affirmed her idea, but then poured cold water on her.

Director Diao Yinan directed two films alone before "Fireworks in the Day" and was shortlisted for some international awards, but you have no experience in making feature-length films, so how can you convince investors to pay for your film, which is destined to not be released in China?"

Han Yi didn't say anything, let alone the Golden Bear Award, it's good to be able to win an award at any A-class film festival.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Tang An gently buttoned the table to signal.

"The biggest purpose of you coming here is to be able to get an investment, and now that I am the investor, how can you convince me? As long as you can make me have one-tenth of the confidence that this project can make money, you can go to our company tomorrow to sign a contract, not to mention more, 20 or 30 million yuan will be approved to you immediately." ”

it!

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of these directors in the audience lit up, and they wished that they were on stage now.

But the person concerned was beeping in her heart, she just wanted to see if she could meet a person with vision to take the initiative to invest, instead of struggling and begging to persuade a person with no vision.

Anyone who doesn't look down on her project has no vision in her heart.

Tang An looked at her and said, "Why, can't you tell?"

"Your project seems to be a bit interesting, but it is obviously the result of your own assumptions, and I don't see anything about the style orientation and market analysis of the film from this plan, which means that you haven't considered the market at all.

I make money from the market, and you haven't considered the market, and you have erased most of the possibility of recovering the cost of this film, as an investor who has nothing to do with you, it is impossible for me to invest in this project. ”

The rhetoric is still very polite, and now Guan Jinpeng has come out to play a round again.

He laughed and said, "Actually, I think this project is not bad, I also made a movie with a "ghost" back then, called "Rouge Buckle", which is okay at the box office in Southeast Asia, but the first half and the second half of your project are to fulfill the heroine's wishes, there is almost no difference, and the middle is only because the hero knows that the heroine is dead, and continues to help her, and does not make a good transition, and the change in the relationship between the two is the key, and the transition must be done in this regard." ”

"Rouge Buckle" has a dime to do with this project.

Tang Andao, "I have watched Director Guan's "Rouge Buckle" many times, it is indeed a classic, and it can even be said to be a symbol and monument of Xiangjiang movies. ”

Tang An's sudden praise made Guan Jinpeng scratch his head, but he took another "but".

However, let's first take a look at the era in which Heung Kong lived at that time, which was not long after the end of the New Wave, and director Xu Anhua was the most appealing director at that time. As Director Xu's assistant, Director Guan was invited by many film companies, and the famous agent Chen Zhiqiang signed a contract with Director Guan at the time, originally wanted to ask Director Guan to direct "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Zhiqiang also planned to ask Cheng Long to play Duan Xiaolou, but Cheng Long didn't want to change his acting path rashly, "Farewell My Concubine" was only more than ten years late and was put on the big screen by director Chen Kaige. ”

Tang An suddenly said such an old story, which made everyone scratch their heads.

However, I heard that I originally wanted to invite Cheng Long to play Dai Xiaolou, but some people couldn't help laughing.

I can't imagine what it would be like for Cheng Long to play the "overlord".

Guan Jinpeng still smiled slightly, and scolded Tang An in his heart.

"Farewell My Concubine" is such a movie, he originally had the opportunity to make it, if he won a Palme d'Or, it would properly overwhelm Wang Jiawei of the same generation.

Tang An continued, "After that, Chen Zhiqiang bought the film copyright of Chen Bihua's other "Rouge Buckle", and asked Director Guan to shoot it. There is no other meaning to say this, just like Director Guan said just now, every director has at least one master, and Director Guan has made Director Xu Anhua an assistant, which is a kind of connection, and it is easier for the film company to believe, otherwise if you want to ask Cheng Long to star in a movie, how can it be handed over to a director who is not famous.

I don't think any of you here have a big director or any relatives, and you haven't shown the ability to convince investors enough.

What's more, "Rouge Buckle" can invite Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong, who can you invite?"

There is no doubt about the importance of a great director teacher, and there are a few of these famous directors in Xiangjiang who do not have a good teacher.

Guan Jinpeng and Wang Jiawei were bright at the beginning, and their "teachers" were also one of the two representatives of the Xiangjiang New Wave.

Guan Jinpeng's face changed slightly, the co-authors are all the credit of Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong, without them, I wouldn't be able to make a good movie, and I wouldn't be able to sell at the box office.

Tang An continued, "You don't have the capital to be trusted, only rely on the project in hand, if the project is obvious at the beginning of the impossible to make money, investors have no reason to pay for you, I hope everyone here will remember this, it is you who are looking for investment, not investment looking for you, then you must let the investor see the hope of making money, even if this hope is exaggerated, it is better than no hope." ”

To put it bluntly, it's a fool!

"Let's talk about how to improve it.,The setting of ghosts must not be wanted.,Set it to be a dream or something.,As long as it can be rounded.,There's also about what the director just said.,A change in feelings twists and turns.。 In addition, the style of the movie, I suggest a combination of warmth and comedy style, and every goal that the hero and heroine accomplish is set as a short story, and this little story adds some jokes or clips that can promote their feelings, after all, it is a romance ......movie."

"Alright, let's go next. ”

As soon as the tirade was finished, Tang An didn't continue to talk nonsense.

The advice that should be given is given, and it is their own business to listen to it or not, they are all adults and have the ability to think independently.

Han Yi stepped down in a huff, still complaining quietly to Wen Muye, an alumnus beside him.

"I thought Tang An had vision, but I didn't expect it to be the same as those people in film companies. ”

Wen Muye was startled, and hurriedly said, "You be quiet, don't be heard by others." ”

This kind of thing is enough to complain when no one is in private, there are so many people on the scene, and now Tang An is still giving them a lesson, so he shouldn't complain in class anyway.

"Next, Bunmakuno. ”

But before he finished speaking, Tang An called his name above, and hurriedly went to the stage.

"Hello Director Tang, hello teachers. ”

Fumimakuno greeted the teachers and began to introduce his project.

"The project I brought to the table was a road movie about travel......"

is an extremely niche literary film, the heroine's father died, the heroine scattered her father's ashes all over the world, and the bag containing the ashes was stolen one day, and the heroine and the thief were inexplicably together, and then the two ran around.

This time, Tang An didn't speak first, and he was a little dry after saying so many mouthfuls.

Guan Jinpeng commented first, "I took a closer look at your project, the overall is more literary, although the story is a bit old-fashioned, but it's not a big deal, and depending on what you mean, it's to minimize the lines and use the actors' expressions to express everything, right?"

Fumimakuno immediately replied, "Yes, Guan Dao, I want to create a feeling of reverie until the point is reached. ”

Guan Jinpeng smiled and nodded, "It also adds more sense of literature and mystery, which is very good, and looking at your description, it shouldn't be up to the length of a movie, right?"

"Actually, I didn't think about it before, if the content is expanded, the 90-minute movie will not have that kind of artistic conception, and my original idea was a short film of about 40 minutes." ”

Guan Jinpeng smiled, "Short films are also available, many film festivals have short film awards, if you can shoot that feeling, there is still hope to win awards, and short films have lower costs and lower risks." ”

Wen Muye said a little embarrassedly, "Originally, I thought so, but after listening to Director Tang's guidance, I was very inspired to make a road comedy romance, mixed with some comedy elements, laughing and scolding during the journey, and adding one or two supporting roles to make the movie a little fuller." ”

After listening to him, the smile on Guan Jinpeng's face slowly faded.

Just now, after saying that I appreciated the literary and artistic fan in this project, I turned my head and told him that I wanted to change it, but I still listened to Tang An's words and changed it to a road comedy romance.

That is, commercial films, just the opposite.

Guan Jinpeng, who just wanted to praise a few more words, immediately held back his words, isn't this a slap in the face!

Wen Muye was also a little embarrassed, he originally wanted to make a small-budget literary film, but if he thought about Tang An's words carefully, he still had to follow the market.

Moreover, this project is an imperfect micro-film, and it can't be on the big screen.

Tang An, who had been silent next to him, smiled, "Highway romantic comedy is very good, the movie with the largest domestic audience is comedy, and it is also the favorite genre of investors, I took a look at your project, and it is very suitable to change it to comedy love." ”

Tang An said as if he remembered something, and said, "Ning Hao's new film is not a road comedy, it is still being filmed, you can go and learn from Ning Hao, go to the crew to be an assistant director or something, and increase your experience." ”

To be an assistant director for Ning Hao?

This is a rare learning opportunity, and Tang An personally introduced it, which means different.

Wen Muye was excited, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Director Tang, I have always hoped to have the opportunity to learn more from Director Ning, thank you Director Tang for giving me this opportunity." ”

Tang An waved his hand, "You have to be prepared yourself, I don't guarantee whether Ning Hao is willing to accept you." ”

Of course, Tang An didn't let him learn comedy, but let him learn to shoot people.

Every director is good at different things, Ning Hao is very good at character portrayal, "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" are the same, and the later "Crazy Alien" gave up what he is good at.

The film "I Am Not the God of Medicine" after Bunmuno is a textbook-level movie in terms of portraying characters.

This is not a typical commercial film, it does not leave much space for the environment and atmosphere, it is important to shoot people, shoot the real people in this series of events, and finally be deeply moving!
