It's actually easy to arrange Qingtian into a film school.

Tang En just said hello to Mr. Han directly.

Mr. Han's words.

However, Don still chose to trouble Lao Mouzi.

Between Tang En and Mr. Han, it is an official relationship, and he can't waste it for the trivial matter of Qingtian going to school.

Tang En and Lao Mouzi are personal friends, and they are friends, which is more convenient to deal with this kind of private affairs.

Tonight is a night shot, and it is the big scene of the palace coup at the heart of the whole movie.

Tang En pretended to read the storyboard and nodded, "It seems that the theme expressed in this movie is very consistent with "Thunderstorm". ”

Lao Mouzi smiled and said: "That's true, this is not a soap opera, it is a drama full of tension." With the tone of "Thunderstorm", the theme of the movie will be very profound. ”

"It's too profound to be banned, as far as I know, "Thunderstorm" was banned back then. ”

"Haha, I'm too worried! I'm too worried! That group of people can't understand, and even if there are people who do, there are very few, and the common people definitely can't understand it. ”

This is probably a common problem of artists.

From "Wu Ji" to "The City Full of Golden Armor", and then to "Night Banquet", the three major mainland directors seem to be very confident in their works, and they are more questioning the audience's appreciation level.

Tang En hesitated for a moment and said: "Since it is the theme of "Thunderstorm", the core depth must be enough, and I look at the footage of your storyboard album, and there is indeed a sense of solemnity and form of the morbid struggle of the royal family and the tragedy of ancient Greece." But I have a little doubt, this picture ...... Isn't it too flashy?"

Lao Mouzi said confidently: "Yes, what I want is this gorgeous effect." The brilliance of color is only the appearance, which represents a wild eruption of emotions, driven by tones. ”

Artist directors like Kai Ge and Lao Mouzi, if their movies are simply evaluated as good or bad, it would be too hasty. Everyone has a different understanding of art and the pursuit of different ways of expression.

The difference is that some people's art is popular.

Some people's artistic views are difficult to popularize.

There are very few directors who can play with both art films and commercial films in the world.

Donn expressed a different point of view, "I think layering is important. Excessive gorgeousness, non-stop spraying, there is less emotional progression. The safflower should be matched with green leaves to be more gorgeous. The black-and-white images of Schindler's List create a poignant red of the little girl like blood. You want to express a deep theme in the film, but the excessive brilliance and lack of contrast will only draw the audience's attention. ”

Such a simple truth, of course Lao Mouzi understands.

After a pause, Lao Mouzi sighed, "Tang En, you still don't understand enough about China's film market. ”

"Huh?"

Don felt a little baffled.

I don't understand?

Lao Mouzi said: "American audiences have accepted the influence of hundreds of years of film culture, there is a big market for commercial films, and there is a small market for literary films, as long as it is a good movie, there will be room for survival." Twenty years ago, the movies were all of that ideology, and they weren't movies at all. Our audience is still very ignorant of movies. ”

Don is no stranger to this argument.

Kai Ge, Zhang Ke, and Jiang Wen have all made similar remarks, and Xiao Gangzi even bluntly stated that it was too many garbage audiences that led to garbage movies.

Qing Tian blinked, a little incredulous, "Director, this ...... Wouldn't it?"

Lao Mouzi beckoned his assistant to come over, poured two cups of herbal tea for Tang En and Qingtian, and said while drinking: "There was a domestic film "The World" last year, have you seen it?"

Qing Tian's face was slightly red and she shook her head.

Tang En smiled: "Section Chief Jia's one?"

Lao Mouzi gave a thumbs up, "Yes, that's the one that won a lot of awards at the European Film Festival." As a result, when it was released back to China, how much did it cost to box office? 100,000 yuan! Xiao Jia's documentary audio-visual language is the top position among the world's avant-garde films, and it is very experimental. When it comes to China, the audience can't eat this set at all. Why? No stars, no scenes, too profound. ”

Qing Tian said weakly: "It's too sharp, isn't it? Chinese people don't like to criticize the motherland." ”

Lao Mouzi shook his head and said, "You are still young, you don't understand." If you pass the review, you will be officially recognized. Criticism and realistic innuendo are the essence of art films. The official approval means that even if there is criticism, it is within the scope of permission. Criticism makes people progressive, and in the 21st century, we can't continue to engage in the ideology of great unification, right?"

As he spoke, he laughed at himself, shook his head, and stopped complaining, but continued to elaborate his movie views: ""The World" is such an excellent movie, with a box office of 100,000. Last year, there was another movie, directed by Wang Jing's "Courtship on the Sign", a big bad movie, if the plot has no plot, if there is no logic, if there is no depth, but it has no depth, and it ended up with a box office of 7 million! How ridiculous do you say?

Qing Tian blushed and said with some shame: "I watched that movie, it's pretty ...... IT IS INTERESTING. This is a commercial film, and the box office is higher than that of literary films, which is normal, right?"

Lao Mouzi nodded, "It's normal for commercial films to have a higher box office than literary films. But bad movies have a higher box office than good movies, and that's a big problem. Do you know the overseas market? "World" sold the rights in Europe and earned 3.5 million US dollars, a full 20 million yuan. "Courtship on the Sign" has a box office of less than 10 million all over the world. This is the normal logic, a good movie should make more money than a bad movie. ”

Qing Tian couldn't answer the words a little, and seeing that Tang En had been drinking tea silently, he reached out and pulled him, and called in a low voice: "Godfather......"

Tang En raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Zhang, this is the status quo under the changes of the times, and I can't be in a hurry." The film market on the mainland is always healthier than that in Russia, right? It's better than in Eastern Europe? The film industry over there has disappeared. What else do you want? Hollywood's current film mechanism has only been born for more than 20 years, and the tortuous history of Hollywood's development has gone through many detours. Take your time, tell me about your films?"

Lao Mouzi's face looked much better, and then he shook his head and smiled: "Of course the country's development is good, forget it, don't mention this." After a pause, he said: "I think so, domestic films with profound themes are not flattering, or ...... This kind of film is very popular with domestic audiences. It is precisely the foreign market that pursues the artistic conception and theme. If you want to sell well in China and have an international market, some special means are indispensable to make a certain type of characteristic movie. ”

Tang En suddenly realized, "You mean the blockbuster sense of déjà vu?"

Lao Mouzi said: "The domestic film market is very unhealthy, and the pirated discs have come out before the movie has been released." At first glance, it is a collusion between movie theaters and pirates, how angry do you say? The piracy market is so developed, who would go to the movie theater? If you want to pull the audience into the movie theater in such an environment, there must be a movie theater with a completely different viewing experience from the home theater. That's the blockbuster necessity of this era. Do you know what ordinary people usually say, 'Let's go, go to the movies?', no, it's 'Let's go, go to the blockbuster.'" ’”

Don nodded, that's the truth.

"Ambush on All Sides" was sprayed like a dog, and it turned out to be the box office runner-up in 2004, ahead of a series of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Lord of the Rings 3", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter" and so on. This year's box office champion was "Kung Fu".

"Boundless" was sprayed like a dog, and the result was the box office champion of 2005, ahead of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Harry Potter", "Star Wars Prequel III", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and "War of the Worlds".

"The City Full of Golden Armor" and "Night Banquet" were sprayed as dogs, and as a result, they were the box office champion and runner-up in 2006, respectively, and continued to crush Hollywood on behalf of domestic films.

These movies are almost exactly the same model.

Before this model, Hollywood blockbusters such as "Titanic", "Life and Death" and "Pearl Harbor" led the mainland film market. After this model, it became the world of "Transformers", "2012", "Avatar", and "Fast and Furious".

From "Hero" starting with cynicism and ending with "Night Banquet" with endless spitting, this model has helped domestic films withstand the Hollywood blockbusters that have swept the world.

Lao Mouzi said frankly: "Choosing the theme philosophy that Western audiences like and choosing the gorgeous visual sense that mainland audiences like is the core of making money for this type of film at present." ”

Don was silent for a moment, a little disapproving, "Movies can be expressed in different ways, but I've heard that ...... You chose a singer who has never acted before to be the lead role?"

Qing Tian said: "I know, it's Zhou Jielun!"

Lao Mouzi said: "This is the producer's request. In the past two films, "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides", the audience was mainly between the ages of 25 and 45. There are not many teenagers. Choosing one of the hottest singers of the moment can help bring teenagers into the cinema. ”

Don En smiled: "You have compromised!"

Lao Mouzi said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, since I have taken over this project, I must be responsible for the investment." ”

Don waved his hand and stretched, "Forget it, let's not talk about this." What's your next movie?"

Lao Mouzi suddenly laughed, "How can there be the next one? When this is finished, we will be busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games." That's the image of the country, and you can't be sloppy. ”

Don said: "I did think of a historical story, which is quite interesting. When you're done with the Olympics, you might be able to give it a try. ”

"Oh?"

"It's a Chinese historical story, and it's very touching. Every time I think of this story, I feel inexplicably moved. ”

Qing Tian was very interested, tilted his head and asked, "Godfather, what is the story?"

Tang En smiled: "I know, you must have heard the story of Wen Tianxiang being captured by the Mongols at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and swearing not to surrender." ”

Qing Tian shook her head and said with a smile: "I know, since ancient times, who has not died in life, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat!"
