Chapter 278: Look at the decline

"Director Du, there are many discussions on the Internet now, and there are different opinions about Guo Dalu saying that he wants to shoot a literary film, what do you think of it as a literary film director?"

This is an entertainment talk show on Huaxia Weidong Provincial TV Station, Du Bin of Tianxi Film and Television Company was invited to Weidong TV and interacted with the host Wang Xiaoran on stage.

Since the Huaxia Central Committee began to introduce Guo Dalu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the rest of the local TV stations seem to have received some orders, and the news and news about Guo Dalu in the past are all stuck, but now there are no restrictions, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the ban on Guo Dalu by these TV stations has ended in all directions.

In fact, since Guo Dalu sued Duojia TV and won, no TV station has said that it wants to ban Guo Dalu on the surface, but not to mention it, in essence, the blocking is stronger than any previous artist.

Even Tianxi Film and Television, which cooperated with Guo Dalu, was hated by various TV stations, and the works of several directors of Tianxi Film and Television Company could not be broadcast on various TV stations, so they could only learn from Guo Dalu to adopt the method of online broadcasting, but their works are neither hype, nor well-known, and the quality is average.

Now there are five or six directors who cooperate with Tianxi Film and Television, and there are three or four directors who are affiliated with Tianxi Film and Television employees, plus Guo Dalu, almost a dozen directors have maintained cooperative relations with Tianxi Film and Television.

But among the dozen or so directors, the director who can really make money and bring huge benefits to Tianxi Film and Television is only Guo Dalu.

The rest of the dozen or so directors together make less than a fraction of Guo Dalu's earnings, and even a few directors' works have been losing money, which can be described as losing money and making money.

Among these directors, there are TV drama directors and film directors, these directors are all from formal colleges, and in theory, they are all a set, talking about movies, from development to innovation, from innovation to improvement, from performance skills to color use, they can say that they don't have the same for a day, but once they talk about the box office, they suddenly take care of him.

Some directors who make TV dramas blame Guo Dalu for the failure of their works, and if it weren't for Guo Dalu, a broom star, who offended all the TV stations in China, how could their works fail to shoot?

These TV directors can still attribute the failure to Guo Dalu, but these film directors don't even blame anyone.

Tianxi Group has the largest cinema chain in China and even the world, which can ensure that the movies made by Tianxi Film and Television can be released in their own theaters, and there will never be the possibility of box office fraud.

Therefore, there is no excuse for the failure of the film director, especially when compared with Guo Dalu, his face is even more shameless.

Du Bin is a film director of Tianxi Film and Television Company, he is in his forties, not tall and ordinary-looking, because the top of his head is a little bald, so he combs a hairstyle in the center of the place, and his fat belly is very conspicuous.

He is a director of literary films, and has had several films that expose the suffering of China, although the actors' acting skills are not very good, and the storytelling of the movie is also average, but because he "has the courage to expose the dark side of the Chinese government", it has aroused the interest of many overseas countries, and he is touted internationally as one of the most courageous directors in China, because of this reason, Du Bin has received praise from many film peers.

Nowadays, there is a very strange phenomenon in the Chinese film circle, it seems that the more the ugly side of China is filmed, the more artistic the work is, and the more it can be loved by foreign filmmakers, and the easier it is to win awards.

This has led to many filmmakers who want to get gold-plated foreign film trophies, and in order to win awards, they will try their best to blacken their motherland, because only in this way can they please foreign judges and have the opportunity to win awards. Even being banned in order to win the award felt that it was worth it, and even felt that he was particularly tragic, and he should be regarded as an iron-clad hero among filmmakers.

Du Bin was one of the directors who was banned, and the ban was only lifted last year.

Because of some international praise, Du Bin's morale is very high, that is, because the works he shoots are very risky and cannot attract investment at all, he "deigned" to find Tianxi Film and Television and became a director within Tianxi Film and Television Company.

When he was filming "East Becomes West" on Guo Dalu, he entered Tianxi Film and Television, and it is not until now that he has made a work that he is particularly satisfied with.

In fact, it takes a year and a half to shoot a work, but it can't be considered slow, as his own work, Du Bin spent a lot of energy to polish, until he felt that there were no more flaws in all aspects, and then he was ready to put it into the market.

Tianxi Film and Television was afraid that this guy would die again, so he sent his work to radio and television for trial after analysis, and after several additions and deletions, it was finally stamped with the dragon seal, and the review was finally passed.

Because the TV station has canceled the ban on Guo Dalu, and Guo Dalu is the most topical artist in China today, and Du Bin belongs to Tianxi Film and Television, which is half of Guo Dalu's colleague, plus he is now having a new work to promote, all kinds of reasons add up, Weidong TV invited him to be a guest to see if he can blow up Guo Dalu's material by the way, or comment on Guo Dalu's works or people.

This talk show on Weidong TV is called "Huashan on the Sword", and at first glance, this name is taken from the plot of the Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Weidong TV has just started three episodes of this program, and the response is very good, this program is mainly to invite some well-known people in the literary and artistic circles to make their own comments on today's literary and artistic works or cultural phenomena, whether it is correct or not, but the person who reviews must have something to say, and it is not okay to make up nonsense. It doesn't matter if the words are sharp, because the sharper the more controversial, as long as there is controversy, there will be a topic, and there will be more attention if there is a topic.

"Well, Director Guo, although I am not familiar with it, I still know a lot about his work style, if he is a commercial film, I believe no one will say anything, after all, every commercial film he has before is confirming his success. ”

The hostess of "Huashan on the Sword" is called Qi Yu, a very intellectual woman, she heard this, and asked curiously: "Director Du, you are an employee of Tianxi Film and Television, and Guo Dalu ...... Hey, it feels awkward to say that Guo Dalu, I still call him Guo Ye, and now everyone calls him that. ”

Qi Yu smiled: "You are the director of Tianxi Film and Television, and Guo Ye and Tianxi Film and Television are also cooperative relations, there should be an intersection normally, why do you say that you are not familiar with it?"

Du Bin explained: "We are really not familiar with each other, I have been filming outside for the past two years, and Guo Dalu rarely returns to the company, I have never met him before, that is, three months ago, when he got married, I saw him for the first time." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Qi Yu had a look of sudden realization on his face, "Then now Guo Ye has been going overseas for a few months, and it is said that the movie is nearing completion, but now everyone is not very optimistic about his work, as a professional, do you have any opinion on Guo Ye's work?"

Du Bin said with a smile: "I haven't finished my sentence just now, I'm going to say it now, Guo Dalu's talent for commercial films can be said to be incomparable, but now he suddenly switched to literary films, to be honest, I really sweated for him." ”

"Why?"

"Because I've seen Guo Dalu's works, how to describe them, let's put it this way, Guo Dalu's works are all action movies, and they are all very exaggerated, not real events that are down-to-earth at all, and the characters in them tend to be face-painted, and they are basically dispensable for acting skills. For commercial films, the acting skills are barely passing, but for literary films, not only does it require a good down-to-earth story, but also requires some actors with good acting skills, and the way the film director tells the story he makes determines the success of a movie. ”

He said to Qi Yu: "But among these factors, Guo Dalu seems to have nothing. His previous works lack a delicate description, and the protagonist in it also lacks a touching acting skills, and with his style to make a literary film with delicate feelings, and it is a love literary film, to be honest, I really don't like it. ”

Qi Yu was slightly stunned, it stands to reason that Du Bin, as an employee of Tianxi Film and Television, is the same director as Guo Dalu, he should speak to Guo Dalu, how could he say such a thing?

Although she was surprised, she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "It seems that Director Du is not optimistic about Guo Ye's literary films, in fact, none of us are very optimistic." ”

When she said this, she looked at the audience in the audience, took the microphone and asked, "Are you optimistic about Guo Ye's new work?"

The audience shouted almost simultaneously: "Not optimistic!"

Qi Yu asked again: "Then when Guo Ye's work is released, do you still watch it?"

This time, the audience shouted in unison, "Look!"

Qi Yu turned to Du Bin, who was a little unpleasant on his face, and said: "Although everyone is not very optimistic about Guo Ye's works, they are willing to support his works, and Guo Ye's appeal to the box office is really amazing." ”

Du Bin said lightly: "In today's society, the box office appeal of commercial film actors far exceeds that of literary films, which is really a sadness. Because the audience's aesthetics are still on the surface of impetuousness, few people care about the integrity of a movie's theme and the expressiveness of the characters. ”

He said to Qi Yu: "After the so-called love literary film filmed by Guo Dalu is released, if you compare it, you will find how difficult it is to shoot a truly touching art film!"

"Of course, as a director, I still wish him that this literary film will be as popular and popular as his previous commercial films, and once again create a miracle in film history!"
