Chapter 24: Feeling too good about myself

Movies and novels are two different things!

If a movie story is the same as a novel story, or even less rich than a novel, then why watch a movie?

The fundamental reason is that the presentation of the story of the movie is more than the presentation of the story of the text, and there are some things that the text cannot or is not easy to carry!

After all, the means of expression in cinema have increased significantly compared to words.

If we summarize and plan the world of the novel in two axes, one axis is the time line, and the other is space, that is, the number of characters and the relationship between the characters, then the presentation of the novel story is a vast plane, and the characters meet and collide with each other in the plane of time and space.

Movies are different.

In addition to time and space, the film is the characters and the relationships between the characters. In addition to these two axes, there is also an axis of audio-visual independent of the two, and in fact, the narrative language of the film is mainly expressed through this third axis: each static film picture contains elements of time and space, but these images are erect.

Time and space are the two major fulcrums, but the rich details of the picture are realized through audio-visual technical elements such as performances, sets, costumes, props, soundtracks, and lighting.

This erected picture is edited through editing, that is, the order in which it appears, to complete the plane spread out naturally presented by the text.

But because of the emergence of this third axis, the expressive elements of the film have increased, and the film is three-dimensional compared to the flat text.

Of course, the world of words can also be imagined as three-dimensional, while the world of cinema is four-dimensional, five-dimensional, or even higher, and it is difficult to intuitively imagine the existence of specific forms.

The crux of this comparison is that film contains more artistic means than words, so it can be more efficient in expressing the same form of words, or achieve something else that words cannot or are very difficult to express.

This extra thing is the key to the art of cinema.

So, O'Henry's story doesn't lend itself to being fully presented on the screen, because his story is missing one of the key things of the film: white space!

Po Booker makes it clear in his "Elements of Cinema": "If used cleverly, silence can be more powerful than the sound of a golden drum." ”

This technique is called blank space!

In a sense, the blank space technique is also inextricably linked with the aesthetics of imagery, and they jointly pursue a poetic freehand complex.

"The Tuner" wants to show that life cannot be pretended to be because of the loss of faith, and self-cleverness is actually another kind of self-defeating.

At the moment when the body was discovered, the male protagonist did not turn over and fight with the woman, or push her away and run away - he entered his preset role too deeply!

Completely forgot that the other party was just an aunt, and she didn't even have a weapon at hand at first.

Instead, react intuitively: keep playing like a blind man to survive!

When we wholeheartedly weave our own delicate lies, how often do we believe it to be true, and how many hints have penetrated into our bones?

Is it easy for a person to lie to himself, or is it to lie to others?

As a result, the piano became the last straw for the protagonist, although he is not blind, but he has long forgotten to see the world through the eyes of a healthy person.

What's next?

I don't know

But as long as I keep playing,

She wouldn't have killed me...

There is no need for a woman's mental activity here!

The original version of "The Tuner", through the editing of the picture, the switching and blurring of the lens, the dynamic and static coordination of music and sound, etc., is already a classic interpretation of blank thinking in the audio-visual field.

Worried that the average viewer won't understand?

As soon as Zhang Junsheng changed this, he immediately fell behind...

In fact, when he proposed this change, he was thinking of "The Gift of the Magi", thinking of "The Last Leaf"...

Through the interaction of the inner activities of the hero and heroine, they are forced to show a 'both unexpected and reasonable'!

I didn't expect that I would add it like this, not to mention it, and I lost all the charm...

Feel too good about yourself!

……

It is impossible for the Huang brothers to sit still, the key is that there are some people above who are not willing to see Dongyang Media in an embarrassment...

As a result, Jiang Nanchun, Yu Feng, Lu Weiding and others injected $20 million into Dongyang Media and subscribed for 24.9% of Dongyang's shares.

Of course, there is also a premise that Dongyang Media must be listed within three years!

This should be the first of all Chinese private companies - the introduction of private equity!

The introduction of private equity played a decisive role in the development path of Dongyang in the next few years - it transformed the enterprise from a workshop to a corporatization mechanism, and it made Dongyang only make up its mind to seek listing.

At the same time, Huang Zhongjun began to make contact with Qianlong De...

Qianlong De is a company specializing in artist management in Huaguo, with well-known actors such as Luyi, Meng Mamamei, Huang Weide, etc., especially Luyi, Luyi at this stage is very capable of playing, Haiyan drama origin, a symbol of ratings!

Otherwise, "New Three Kingdoms" would not have asked him to play Zhuge Liang!

They should have sensed that Wang Jinghua was eye-to-eyeing with Li Mingze...

On November 25th, Dongyang Media's new film plan: "Big Names 2", "The Wind", "Baby Project", "Restless Chicken" and "Ink Attack"...

The more crisis there is, the more you have to invest in movies!

Of course, what they value most is definitely "Big Names 2"...

This is not because of how awesome the script of "Big Names 2" is, but because of product placement!

Huang Zhonglei announced that the investment in "Big Names 2" is 30 million, but the revenue from product placement has reached 36 million...

Before the movie started, it was already earned!

……

This month, there are not many new films released, and there are not a few domestic films that dazzle the audience, so far, the first place in the annual box office is "Feast", with a box office of 130 million.

The General Administration has nothing to say, and this year is estimated to be another year of standing still...

Last year, there were two movies that broke 200 million, "Let's Watch Big Wave Girls" and "Organic"!

The only sustenance is next month's "Huo Yuanjia"...

Yuehua Media has been very low-key during this time, except for the Yuehua Video that has been circulating in the market, it took out nearly 5 million to buy more than a dozen dramas involved in the case...

Without him, fill the library!

The ban on the drama involved in the case has been issued, and the price of selling to an online video company is not much different from selling it to a TV station...

Of course, the ban at this stage is only for the 'golden hour', but everyone knows that the so-called golden hour will soon be extended.

Except for a few small local radio stations, there is really no TV station that dares to buy the drama involved in the case!

I still have to say that the profit method of Huaguo TV dramas is too simple, piracy is too rampant, and there is basically no way to make money except for selling to TV stations!

How do TV stations make money?

Sell Advertising!

The ban was issued, and it was impossible for the drama involved in the case to log in to the prime time, so naturally no advertiser dared to smash the drama involved...

"Western Police", "The True Colors of the Criminal Police", "Six Groups of Serious Cases", "Red Carnation", "Winter Solstice", "Behind the Truth", "Plum Blossom Files", "I am not a hero" and other high-quality dramas involved in the case were all obtained by Yuehua at the bottom price!

Of course, this method seems to other video sites to be simply sick - buy a pirated disc, upload it yourself, and spend that unjust money!

Oh, the bird's ambition?
