Chapter 824: Elder Hong (3/3)
Movies are both entertainment and art!
If the audience enters the theater in the future, all they see is a picture full of shocking special effects, and then wait until they finish watching the movie and walk out of the theater, but they can't leave a deep imprint, if the director just shoots for the sake of making this kind of popcorn movie, then this career must be worth the life of countless directors?
Even if Yang Ming himself thought about it, he always relied on the resources of his previous life to shoot classic blockbusters from his previous life, and he could appear at the top of the box office list every year.
Does it make sense?
It's like a person opening a hanging, in the game, with a knife from East Street to West Street, no one can resist, and then the world is invincible, and after a long time, it will feel boring.
Interesting?
Of course, Yang Ming will not use the resources of his previous life because of these, and he will purely look for abuse in this life, and he still has to shoot what should be filmed!
It's just that it is necessary for him to make some preparations for the future now.
However, in his heart, he hated the kind of pure so-called art films, which made the plot too complicated, and no one could understand how many hours the audience slept in the cinema when they entered the cinema.
Yang Ming would never make this type of art film.
Caviar to the general!
Or just pretending to be sophisticated for the sake of art!
But that doesn't mean he can't make art films that the audience can understand.
In fact, after the domestic film industry was baptized by Hollywood blockbusters in the previous life, many directors of the new generation have begun to try to shoot some small-scale art films, and the effect is not bad.
So, can Yang Ming in this world make an art film with his own personal style based on these?
The old dean has a good saying, if you want to become a film master, or if you want to leave your own mark in the history of film, then it is absolutely impossible to achieve these achievements by making commercial films alone.
Even James Cameron, who was called the 'King of Movies' in Hollywood in his previous life, his films have always been regarded by all fans as a model of commercial blockbusters, but in fact, his films are not just those dazzling and gorgeous movie special effects shots, his movies also have their own unique ideas.
After the old dean said these words, he saw that Yang Ming was in deep thought, so he didn't speak again, but slowly tasted tea with a teacup.
After a while, Yang Ming raised his head, looked at the old dean with clear eyes, nodded seriously and said, "Well, teacher, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
Immediately, he explained: "The reason why I attach so much importance to action movies recently is actually for the sake of local movies!"
Hearing Yang Ming's words, the old dean's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What do you say?"
The old dean is also deeply worried about the increasingly unfavorable situation of Chinese films in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, but he has not thought of a good way in his heart, although he expresses disdain for the popcorn characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters, but people's results at the box office are indeed getting better and better.
This is irrefutable.
This is also why, he saw that Yang Ming had been making commercial movies, but there was no question of saying anything.
Yang Ming then explained that he wanted to use action movies to drive local movies, and then let foreign fans gradually get used to the idea of Chinese movies, the more he talked, the more excited the old dean listened, if it wasn't for physical reasons, he even wanted to stand up and yell a few times.
However, he also thought of some questions, but Yang Ming answered them one by one.
"Nowadays, the pressure of social life is getting bigger and bigger, and the pace is getting faster and faster, the kind of obscure and esoteric movies in the past will definitely not be liked by the audience, for the vast majority of movie fans and audiences, they watch movies just to relax and relax!
Yang Ming said slowly word by word.
When the old dean heard Yang Ming's words, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he sighed leisurely in his heart, it seems that his student is determined to find his own way in commercial films.
In this regard, he will not express any opinion, the previous reminder, just hope that his student will not go crazy, after all, in his eyes, Yang Ming's talent in directing is too surprising, he doesn't want many years later, in the eyes of everyone, his student is just a director who can make commercial films.
That would ruin Yang Ming's talent in film.
But now it seems that his student has his own ideas.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Yang Ming has always done a very good job, and several movies have achieved good results.
The old dean nodded and didn't say anything.
Next, just as Yang Ming was introducing some of his plans for movies to the old dean, a loud voice sounded outside the courtyard.
"Old man Li, where are the people, why didn't you greet me outside!"
When the old dean heard this, he immediately stopped chatting with Yang Ming, looked up at the door, and laughed loudly: "You old guy, just enter by yourself, can't you walk?"
As the old dean's words fell, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and an old man with gray hair but strong spirits walked in with powerful steps, and said with a smile: "You scholars, scolding people is not dirty, and you are knowledgeable!"
Yang Ming saw the person who came and guessed who it was, so he immediately stood up and greeted him as a junior: "Old Hong!"
"Hehe, this is Yang Ming! It's really young!" Hong Su nodded to Yang Ming with a smile, his expression was indescribably cordial, and then after sitting down, he unceremoniously picked up the tea that the old dean had just poured for him on the coffee table, and after drinking it in a big gulp, he said heartily: "What's the matter?"
When he said this, Hong Su also glanced at the direction where Yang Ming was with his eyes.
And the old dean pointed at Hong Su, and said angrily: "You old immortal, you are about to become a fine, sue you, don't think that if you say a few good words for my students in the newspaper, my students will meet and worship, others don't know you, don't I know yet?
Hong Su didn't seem to hear the thorn in the old dean's words, he smiled, and said calmly: "Look at what you said, bring up the juniors, it should be!"
Seeing Hong Su's cheeky appearance, the old dean really has no good way, it's like Xiucai meeting a soldier, and it can't be explained, but the truth is true, a few decades ago, the old dean was a university teacher, and Hong Su was a film martial artist.
For a director like Hong Su who climbed up step by step from the bottom, his cheekiness is really not worth mentioning.
At this time, Yang Ming saw this and said to Hong Su on the side, clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you seniors for speaking up!"
When Hong Su saw Yang Ming's situation, his face was surprised, and he blurted out: "Oh, dare to love you, a student, or a practitioner!"
