Chapter 395: Project (4/5)
Newcomers entering the industry will definitely be hindered.
That's how Netflix is!
"House of Cards" won't win an Emmy...
The Emmy Awards belong to the traditional Hollywood giants' trading system, and the allocation of awards over the years is limited, and traditional old production companies objectively do produce excellent works.
Therefore, Netflix, as an upstart producer of American drama content, although it has the potential of a dark horse, similar to the excellent work of "House of Cards", although the director, screenwriter and production cast is impeccable, it is inevitable to have the regret of missing pearls after all, showing an embarrassing situation of "often not getting Emmy Award" recognition.
It's the same with burning after reading, although "Game of Thrones" and "Bankrupt Sisters" were shortlisted, the probability of winning the award is almost zero...
Later, the Cannes Film Festival banned Netflix films from the main competition;
Spielberg and others publicly stated: Netflix and other streaming media movies should not be eligible to compete for the Oscars!
It's all made with a camera, so why can't Netflix's work be awarded?
Conflict of Interest!
Same streaming, why isn't Amazon under siege?
It's very simple, Netflix's strategy is to synchronize the Internet and theaters...
Amazon is the traditional distribution method, that is, the theater chain is exclusive first, and then it is launched on other channels according to the window period.
So, Netflix is under siege, Amazon is not.
Zhang Junsheng will definitely learn from Amazon in the future, instead of following the old path of Netflix...
However, for small and medium-cost films, he will still insist on not showing them in theaters...
That's how old America's rules are.
But battles like domestic publishers are still a bit too outrageous!
Especially like "The Painted Wall" and "The Legend of the White Snake", they are all bad movies, so why bother?
Yang Gongzi filmed "The Legend of the White Snake", in addition to praising people, the most important thing is, of course, to make money!
Later, he discovered the Yin and Yang contract, but it was troublesome to operate, so he created a new way to play: Xuan Auction!
In the next few years, Yang Gongzi didn't take pictures anymore, he didn't do anything serious all day long, showing off his collection of antiques, antiques, calligraphy and paintings on the Internet every day, and spent huge sums of money to take a picture of an inexplicable calligraphy and painting artwork at every turn.
92 million at every turn to get the purple clay pot...
Spent 190 million yuan to get 38 Gu Jingzhou purple clay pots...
This is a kind of saucy operation, Yang Gongzi plays the role of a middleman: when filming movies and TV series, sometimes the amount is a little scary, and the origin is unknown, and the yin and yang contract is not easy to use, so you can pull into the art market to play together.
The listed company offered a labor remuneration of 50 million yuan to a certain star, and the star used the money to buy a work of art at the auction, but this art is actually the private property of the boss. That is, these 50 million, went around in a circle, from the company, from the stock market, from the pockets of shareholders, made a circle, and returned to the boss's own pocket.
So how do celebrities make money?
Silly?
As long as the price of art is sold, it will generate a premium of several times, which is normal, and the star and his own leather bag company can continue to play, and they can take this thing worth tens of millions, find a cat and a dog, go to the bank to pledge a loan, and then get back tens of millions! If the star doesn't repay the money, what should the bank do?
After such a turn, I made more money than making movies!
And what do you say about this thing?
It belongs to the gray area, and no one can prove that the art is not worth that much money!
……
On October 8, "Xiangjiang Travel" was released.
The plot has changed a lot, mainly to circumvent censorship...
Of course, it is still a typical zombie film, with enclosed spaces, infections and escapes, confrontation and cleverness, sensationalism and life and death, "The Walking Dead" and "Shaun Zombie" have played stalks, and they are all in it!
The script is a neat Hollywood model, with a few minutes of appearance, a few events, a few twists, a few main characters, a few pairs of relationships, and so on!
I'm not going to make a classic movie...
In all classic movies, most of them are characters who drive the plot!
In "Trip to Xiangjiang", the screenwriter first gave an outline of the storyline, and then designed specific events in sections, and then triggered events through the characters' behaviors, and the characters were only reduced to pawns serving the plot.
Of course, "Hong Kong Travel" has a creative foundation after all, and this creativity is also the focus of publicity: the first zombie film in Asia!
Online movies don't count...
Of course, the investment is not small, most of it is used in production and makeup, and the actor is Zhang Yi...
The directors are Guo Shubo plus Wang Wei.
Guo Shubo is five hundred...
At the end of the movie, Zhang Junsheng was very pleased, this "Xiangjiang Trip" was both touching and exciting...
Of course, there must be someone who nitpicks and says 'children shouldn't sing', damn, she doesn't sing the national anthem, how can she pass the trial?
……
Backstage, Zhang Junsheng stayed until the two returned to the lounge.
smiled and encouraged: "Good shot, keep up the good work!"
Neither of them was born in a professional class, and they had been working with Zhang Junsheng as an assistant to the director before...
Five hundred looked at Wang Wei and said, "... Director,"
“… What's wrong?"
"We want to make an online drama!"
“… Why," he said, and immediately understood, these two had enough!
"Xiangjiang Xing" was submitted for review five times, and after filming, eight places were cut, and the 121-minute movie was cut to 102 minutes...
I must feel aggrieved.
“… Okay, if you two want to write a good script, I will let Yuehua Video directly fund it!"
"Thank you, Director..."
"There's nothing to be thankful for. He smiled: "However, our current environment is like this, you try to get used to it!"
Wang Wei sighed: "I didn't think it before, but now it's really painful!"
"Just get used to it, by the way, I still have a project I want you two to take over!"
“… What project?"
"It's called "Big Man"!"
handed over the synopsis of the script in his hand, and the two of them flipped through it...
"Big Man" is "Veteran"...
Also known as 'Wang Qianyuan fat beating bag bell'...
A completely passable remake!
Although it is a fictional police and bandit story, the joke is not nonsense, and the ending is that evil does not prevail over good, and the core values of socialism are promoted;
The adaptation is not messy either, although it is adapted from a Korean movie, the localization has been done very successfully, and the actors, lines, soundtrack, and set are very down-to-earth.
In fact, if Bao Bell is replaced by Hu Ge, the box office can at least double...
I really don't understand why Bao Bell can appear in so many movies!
As long as some actors are on the big screen, they have the effect of driving people away!
Let's have a snack!
"However, don't rush for the time being, if you two don't have time, I'll shoot it myself. ”
Wang Wei only looked at a small half, and looked at Zhang Junsheng directly in embarrassment: "This can't pass the trial, right?"
“… Don't worry, I will pull the Jindun Film and Television Cultural Center of the Ministry of Public Security to do it together!"
