Chapter 531: To Be a Director (Part II)
For Ding He's praise and praise, Director Zhang accepted it, but Director Zhang also knew that he was not a perfect person, and there must be something wrong.
In addition, Ding He is so talented in this area, Ding He will not fail to find the problem, so he said to Ding He very modestly.
Director Zhang was so modest and full of sincerity, Ding He opened the conversation box and directly expressed his opinion.
"Director Zhang, I found a problem, this problem is not your own problem, but a trend that is now popular in our country. That is, in order to make good-looking movies and TV series, in order to make wonderful movies and TV series, everyone pays attention to the content while ignoring some things, such as three views. β
Ding He took out a small notebook as he spoke, which recorded his atmospheric comments on each movie, which was very short compared to the invisibility of the eight classics, Ding He was just a simple sentence, Ding He was just a single and simple, pointing out the problems of the three views.
Director Zhang was very surprised and surprised after hearing Ding He's words, he didn't expect Ding He to ask such an indifferent question.
Three views, three views This question seems to have been mentioned to me for a long time, movies, TV series, isn't it just how exciting and how to come?
Everyone is just trying to have fun, does the three views have anything to do with this? Director Zhang carefully recalled the knowledge and content that his master taught him when he first studied.
Among them, I vaguely remember that there are some questions about the three views, but after too long, I don't remember it so kindly, seeing that Ding He raised this question again, and he made so many records very seriously, so he couldn't help but look at the records made by Ding He carefully.
"Ding He, there is some truth to what you said, but not only myself as a director doesn't attach importance to such things, but other directors don't attach importance to such things either. β
Director Zhang sighed heavily as he spoke, and continued: "At the beginning of my study, the master also told me to pay attention to related issues and pay attention to positive energy issues, but these things have been gradually forgotten by me, not that I deliberately want to forget, but that the current market does not allow me to pay attention to these things. β
Now the competitive pressure is very fierce, everything that can be filmed has been filmed, everything that can be acted has been performed, and if you want to attract people's attention, you can only make these bells and whistles and strange stories as much as possible, so as to attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, with the permission of the national television station, they are all as unexpected as possible and come up with those new things, even if the three views are slightly wrong, but as long as they are within the scope of the TV station's permission, they will not care about these things.
"What you said is indeed a big problem, but it doesn't happen overnight to change it. β
Director Zhang continued as he spoke: "And most of the current ones follow this rhythm, if you screen the scripts according to this condition, you will find that there are not many scripts to see at all." β
Not only in movies and TV series in order to attract people's attention, some problems with incorrect views are the same, after all, in order to attract people's attention, in order to let everyone read, in order to make the story more peculiar, so many authors have also begun to think about it, even if the three views are slightly incorrect, but as long as there is something to see, as long as there is controversy, they will write according to this way, so from the source, the current popular trend is like this.
Director Zhang's words were not unreasonable, Ding He nodded after listening to it, and said to Director Zhang very modestly: "It's that I didn't think comprehensively enough, I just saw the problem, and I didn't think about the root of the problem." β
"No, you haven't done anything wrong, as the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, the problems you raised are real, and they all need to be rectified. After all, the three views are not a big problem, no matter how strong the sense of story is, no matter how good it is, it should not be spread. β
Seeing Ding He's appearance, Director Zhang once again remembered that when he was young, he was also enthusiastic at that time, and he had extremely high requirements and high expectations for movies and TV series.
For example, if Ding He had not raised this question of three views, if Ding He had not raised this question, he would not have been aware of it.
Even if Ding He proposed, he now tells himself with a hint of luck that everyone else is like this, everyone is like this, and he is not wrong.
"The problem of the three views wants to change, it is not overnight, and this script has been selected, and the major sponsors have been put in place, so we can't make a huge change temporarily. After all, the manpower and material resources consumed in this are too great. β
After Director Zhang finished speaking, without waiting for Ding He to respond to him, he stared at Ding He very seriously and said: "Next time, next time, we will choose a script with three positive views, not for others, just for our director's dream, okay?"
Ding He didn't know why, looked at Director Zhang's eyes, and nodded involuntarily.
It is not easy for Director Zhang to achieve today's step, and he can maintain his pursuit of art while maintaining his own self and admiration.
Ding He knows that in many cases, many things are not as perfect as he imagined, and there are many dark places in this society.
Director Zhang was able to make so many artistic movies and TV series that conveyed his spirit, and at the same time, he received the support of so many sponsors and made his own reputation.
He must have done a lot of things that embarrassed him, and he couldn't help but feel sad and heartache when he looked at him just now.
The way he stared at himself was as if he were looking back at the past, and the attitude with which he spoke to himself was as if he were speaking to himself.
He regarded himself as his most primitive heart, and Ding He felt a little heavy for Director Zhang to have such high hopes, but he was a little lucky.
For Director Zhang, Ding He will also return the sincerity. Since he regarded himself as the cleanest person, he pursued the most essential art with him.
Although the script cannot be modified this time, Ding He still hopes that through his own efforts, he can try, through some inconspicuous small actions and small details, and strive to secretly show that kind of positive energy.
The problem of three views is only the first problem that Ding He needs to overcome, and the next problem makes Ding He even more unacceptable.
"Hello directors and teachers, I am the No. 6 contestant, and the role of the competition is the female No. 2. β
This woman, who is very slender but looks indescribable, stands in the center with a shy face, and even the talent show is so unsatisfactory.
"This number 6 is good, it is very suitable for the female number two. β
"Yes, No. 6 is in great shape, and he is very photogenic~"
"I don't have an opinion, just the 6th~"
Ding He didn't have time to vote against and in support, but he was directly recorded by the directors and teachers on the 6th.
Director Zhang saw Ding He's confused appearance, so he glanced at Jing Jing, and Ding He nodded when he saw this, and did not speak.
"No. 6 is the sponsor's own daughter, so everyone agrees that No. 6 is very suitable for playing female No. 2. β
Director Zhang's words made Ding Hemao pause, so it is so, although the previous women are related, but the relationship is not as hard as the relationship between the daughters, after all, the goddaughter is still separated by a layer, so when choosing roles, although these relationships have a certain advantage, but the directors and teachers, when choosing roles, they will still consider whether they are suitable or not, it can only be said that they are preferred under the premise that it doesn't matter, or some unimportant roles, let them go, and don't care about these small details, but for such an important female No. 2, the choice of this No. 6 is so sloppy because he is the sponsor's daughter, the relationship is so hard, it must follow people's wishes.
But the woman in this play, No. 2 is clearly a big fat man, the storyline is that No. 2 is a fat man, often bullied at school, the heroine fights for her and becomes her best friend, and the next series of stories is obvious, this thin No. 6 is not suitable for this role.
"But the director, she's a thin person......"
"No problem, let him gain weight during this time, after all, if you want to make a movie, you have to pay something, plus there are special effects in the later stage, so it's no problem. β
Before Ding He's question was finished, Director Zhang directly said the response plan, smiled mysteriously at Ding He, and continued: "Do you feel that your world has been refreshed? This is just the beginning, followed by a series of unimportant characters such as female No. 3, male No. 3, and so on. β
As he spoke, Director Zhang opened the conversation and talked about the things that impressed him when he first entered the industry.
When Director Zhang just followed his master to choose the role, he was also very serious, standing in the most professional and serious perspective, watching the role performance of the contestants.
But later, Director Zhang knew that these talent shows are not the most important and important thing, it depends on the director's mood and your relationship.
What impressed me should be that I had encountered a female No. 5 selection competition before, because the role of female No. 5 is important and important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, it should belong to a big dragon set, among which many female players have performed very well, and it has taken a lot of effort to make this female 5 good.
One of them played tricks, and the performance was very exciting, but in the end, he chose to be a woman in a relationship.
Director Zhang still remembers that the expression of disappointment and sadness on the face of the female dragon with excellent performance was deeply imprinted in Director Zhang's heart after she was defeated.
"I know it's right, it's not fair, it's not right, but it's like this, if you want to get out of a trick, you have to meet the person who appreciates you, the person who thinks you're different, and the person who performs extremely well, so that you can kill those people who are related to you and stand out from it. β
Director Zhang continued as he spoke: "I have also held a lot of grassroots over the years, but those were in the early years, do you know why I have rarely been able to hold out grassroots in recent years?"
Without Ding He asking Director Zhang, he asked himself and said: "It's difficult, even if you meet people you admire very much, but if you want to pick them up, it's not as casual as a few years ago." β
A few years ago, Director Zhang met someone he admired very much, regardless of his social status or background, as long as he had talent, he wanted to pick him up.
At that time, Director Zhang was stubborn, even if he offended people, he had to do what he did, but now it is different, Director Zhang not only has no courage at the beginning, but also has no power to be willful at that time.
Because I didn't dare to make that bet, for fear of provoking those big sponsors, plus even if I strongly recommended it, others disagreed, and I didn't have this right.
Because the power in his hands began to gradually disperse, in order to raise money from sponsors, in order to cooperate with other directors to shoot more perfect movies and TV series, Director Zhang is not as free as he was at the beginning.
"Although it is dark in this, but if you are bright, no one can stop you, this degree needs to be grasped by yourself, sometimes you meet some rare talents, it is worth a fight. β
Director Zhang patted Ding He on the shoulder as he spoke, although he wanted Ding He to understand the rules, but he didn't want Ding He to be too restricted, he hoped that Ding He could understand the way to survive in this circle again, and he could still fly freely in the future.
"Director Zhang, thank you for telling me these things, don't worry, I understand the rules here, and I know what to do. β
Ding He nodded as he spoke, Ding He already had a plan in his heart, that is, on the premise of not being hard-hitting, he chose the role as much as possible according to what he wanted in his heart, and did not fall into the clichΓ© as much as possible.
But it's really something that can't twist your arms and thighs, and you won't force it to do it, after all, it's clear that there will be no results, and blind sacrifice is not necessary.
After these few days, Ding He found that his previous thoughts were a little too simple.
I thought I was familiar with this circle, I thought I could create, I thought I had a heart for the pursuit of art, but I didn't expect the water to be so deep, from sponsorship to actor selection to script selection, and so on, there are too many rules and too many ways.
If you want to mix in this industry, it is far more difficult than being a singer and a star.
