Feng Xiaogang's departure from Huayi Brothers is a foregone conclusion, after many years of friendship, Wang Zhongjun knows Feng Xiaogang's character too well, and his temper is as stubborn as a donkey.

Wang Zhongjun is only thinking about how to deal with Feng Xiaogang's departure once the news spreads, and the only way he can come up with it at the moment is to sign a few big-name artists and use the celebrity effect of these big-name names to offset the impact of Feng Xiaogang's departure.

But who should I sign!?

There are only a few real big names in the domestic line, and now they are all famous, not to mention in terms of influence, they can be compared with Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang didn't say that only two movies lost money, even if he has been rotten from now on, with his achievements in the first ten years, his status as a first-line director in China will not be shaken.

Not to mention, Feng Xiaogang's two movies can't be attributed to bad movies, the reputation of "1942" is basically relatively positive today, but it doesn't please the audience, so the box office is not good, which is really helpless.

As for "Night Banquet", don't look at the poor word-of-mouth and box office, but participating in the filming of such a big production, Wang Zhongjun has never regretted it.

The same is true for "Night Banquet", the reason why Wang Zhongjun invested a large amount of money to participate in the filming of "Night Banquet" is due to the overall layout of the company.

First of all, this is a commercial film with a high production cost, secondly, Wang Zhongjun believes that Feng Xiaogang can control such a big production, and thirdly, because Feng Xiaogang itself is commercial, which is conducive to recovering costs and creating commercial profits.

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhongjun needs such a label to enhance the commercial value of Huayi Brothers, so he needs to be bound to Feng Xiaogang.

This is mainly because Chinese filmmaking is often director-centered, that is, the director sees what he thinks is a good subject, feels that he can control it, and then goes to the production company, and the production company argues, and if he thinks it is good, he raises money, and then starts filming.

Although there is a process of demonstration by the production company, the risk of decoupling from the market will be greater if the director chooses the theme.

Commercial film production is often a reverse process based on sales, that is to say, production companies that are more sensitive to the market find the subject matter and find a suitable director to shoot, which is the basic common sense of Western commercial film production, that is, the producer is the center.

But for Chinese films with special national conditions, it is often the most difficult thing.

At present, private companies in China's film production are far better than state-owned companies in this regard, which also means that their film production has matured.

Therefore, Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" is actually a company's market choice, and it should be Huayi Brothers' "Night Banquet", because, as a commercial film, the director label should give way to the company label.

As a commercial film, "Night Banquet", on the one hand, follows the creative principles of commercial films, takes the creative path of costume films, and on the other hand, injects Feng Xiaogang's personal creative style as a director into the creation.

The biggest breakthrough of "Night Banquet" is that the film moves the imagery into the creation of costume films on a large scale, and the film weakens the character's character to a large extent, and emphasizes a certain aspect of his mind, making the character the spokesperson of a certain symbol.

In such a narrative without a dynastic background, each person becomes a symbol, and everyone lives in their own realm.

This is true for the characters, as well as for the scenes and plots. The opening killing fully illustrates this point, the fight between Yu Linwei and the artist in white is one-sided, and the man in white pounces on the sword and sword, because they regard this as a part of their artistic plot, so they do not resist at all.

Another example is the suicide of Emperor Li in the end, he can't be viewed from the perspective of a comprehensive person, and his questioning of his brother is his own muttering. At this time, he only has himself in his heart, there is no other outsider, he himself has been defeated by himself, and there is no meaning to live.

In such a single direction of the characters, imagery becomes the key word to explain the character's heart, and at the same time, it forms a clear contrast with the court scene.

The characters are full of desire, but they are all single and flat, while the court scenery is full of depth, and the color tone is even more restrained, deliberately depicting the depth of the court.

This contrast is the tragedy of the film, and in the end, people find out that the world they live in has nothing to do with their own hearts, which is the biggest tragedy.

If you look at it purely from an artistic point of view, "Night Banquet" is a masterpiece of Feng Xiaogang, and the masters strive to break through and surpass themselves. Everything comes from desire, everything is ruined by desire, and for a fighter, desire is the driving force to move forward.

It is a pity that Feng Xiaogang has to take into account the commerciality of the film itself while pursuing art, so "Night Banquet" has become a combination of commerciality and artistry, not only to meet the artistic needs of the audience, but also to comply with the rules of market operation, and to survive in the market competition.

After all, the artistry of the movie is still guaranteed, the costumes are excellent, on the basis of conforming to the characteristics of the times, the queen's dresses, bathrobes, etc. are extremely exquisite, and the costumes of the Yue Dance that Wuluan learned are very suitable for the needs of the music, giving people a fresh and eye-catching feeling, and interpreting a new definition for song and dance.

In terms of scenes, the grand palaces, castles, poetic forests, bleak grasslands, deserts, etc., also continue the basic elements of the scenes since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Wuji" and other costume martial arts dramas.

As for the final box office, it can only be said that Wang Zhongjun did not expect that the audience, who was obviously in love with domestic blockbusters, suddenly lost interest in this kind of big production.

It's just that now Feng Xiaogang is leaving!

At the beginning, Wang Jinghua took so many artists to run away collectively, Wang Zhongjun didn't think anything about it, there are stars, it's a big deal to sign new people and re-cultivate, as long as the company has resources, there are no artists who are not popular.

But now that Feng Xiaogang is leaving, Wang Zhongjun really feels tricky.

All he can do now is to block the news first, and wait until he finds a suitable person to take Feng Xiaogang's place.

It's a pity, although Wang Zhongjun thinks very well, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, when Feng Xiao left just now, his face was gloomy, anyone can see that there must be something, plus Huayi Brothers Company is originally a place of right and wrong, there have been reporters squatting at the door for a long time, as soon as Feng Xiao came out, he was photographed by reporters, looking at his face, he knew that something was wrong, and the reporters could still let it go, and immediately followed, and then found that Feng Xiaogang went directly to the 1+1 company.

On the same day, the news that Feng Xiaogang broke up with Huayi Brothers and would switch to a 1+1 company appeared on the Internet.

"Brother, see for yourself!"

Wang Zhonglei broke into Wang Zhongjun's office in a rage and threw a few pieces of paper on the desk.

Wang Zhongjun just glanced at it, he was not interested in picking it up at all, he had already seen these news on the Internet, and his face was also gloomy and scary.

"Brother! You are a buddy when you are a buddy, and someone is wronged when you are our brother! Look at it, I just said that I was leaving, and when I turned around, I went to 1+1, TM, I can't spare him!"

Wang Zhonglei said that he was about to go out, but when Wang Zhongjun saw this, he slapped the table and stopped Wang Zhonglei: "Why are you going!?"

"What are you doing? Go find the person surnamed Feng to settle accounts, and that bastard Song Zheng, digging into the foot of the wall and digging up our Huayi brothers, brother! I can't bear this breath!"

"Stop!"

Wang Zhongjun yelled, he was really annoyed, Feng Xiaogang switched to the 1+1 company, this matter made him very annoyed, although until now, Wang Zhongjun and Song Zheng met in private and still maintained a friendly face, but everyone knows that the relationship between these two people can really coexist peacefully?

You must know that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two companies are in competition.

If Feng Xiaogang really turned his head and joined 1+1, it would be simply a slap in the face of Wang Zhongjun.

This incident made Wang Zhongjun angry, and there was another thing that made Wang Zhongjun even more angry, when will this younger brother of his own family grow up!?

Doing things is always so unbearable!

"Whatever you say on the Internet, you believe it?"

Wang Zhonglei glared and roared back: "I don't believe this, what else can I believe?" Feng Xiaogang must have discussed it with Song Zheng, this is simply taking our brothers for fools. ”

"You come back for me!" Wang Zhongjun saw that Wang Zhonglei was really going to rush out, so he hurriedly bypassed the office desk and grabbed Wang Zhonglei, "What's wrong with you not being ashamed enough, you want to make trouble now, when the time comes, how unfavorable public opinion will be to us, have you thought about it!"

was dragged by Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei also sobered up a little, stood there for a long time, and slammed his fist on the door in annoyance: "Brother!

Timid!

Wang Zhongjun also felt guilty, but what could he do?

When Feng Xiaogang came back, he didn't sign a formal contract with Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhongjun felt that with such a good personal relationship between the two parties, there was no need for that at all, but now Feng Xiaogang is leaving.

In fact, Wang Zhongjun also knew that Feng Xiaogang couldn't be complained about this matter, it was because the two brothers were not authentic, and a movie was frustrated, and it could not be said that it was a failure, so they alienated Feng Xiaogang, which made the family feel cold.

"Forget it! Everyone has their own ambitions! Xiao Lei, I can't complain about Lao Feng in this matter, it's ~~~~~~ our fault!"

"What!?"

Wang Zhongjun looked at Wang Zhonglei and said with hatred: "Otherwise, what do you think!? If you didn't speak coldly, Lao Feng would be able to leave!?"

Wang Zhonglei was stunned, and he still wanted to distinguish, but he didn't know what to say!
