"Is there really no way around it?"
Even the boss said that it was a good movie, but it must be a good movie! Why did such a good movie not get a chance to be released, while those bad movies that were only released for a few days and were forced to be released because they had no box office ran into the theaters one by one? If this situation is allowed to continue, is there still any hope for oriental films?
Leila thought for a moment: "It's not like there's no way. ”
"What's the way?!" Fu Chuan subconsciously held his breath, and a heart that he thought was quite big was "pounding" so much that he was almost rushing out of his chest. The boss's method is definitely a panacea, the kind that can live the flesh and bones of the dead! Whether that guy can come back to life depends on the method given by the boss!
"There are two ways. Leila told him slowly: "The first one is to ask your director friend to come to me and make a film that will be acceptable to Hollywood." It doesn't matter if he finds the script himself, or if I help him find the script, in short, find a movie that can be made into a movie that Westerners want to watch. ”
Fu Chuan swallowed his saliva, if it were him, he would definitely agree to the boss's request without thinking about it. Being able to make movies under Leila's banner is a shortcut to becoming a first-class director! Look at the directors under her, there are a bunch of well-known and unknown directors, even the top directors have Nolan and Bang Bei, those two are recognized as super directors in Hollywood!
But thinking of his old friend's stubborn temper, he could only temporarily suppress the impulse he was about to agree: "Is there another way?"
"Of course, it was to help him release the movie in the East. ”
Leila really thinks that film is very good, the shooting technique is not too sophisticated, but there is his own personal style there, which is a personal style that people will be more comfortable watching it.
There are so many directors popping up every year, but not many can create their own characteristics. Let's take her, the characteristics of the outside world organizing her are that every frame is beautiful, just click a pause, and the screenshot can be used as a desktop wallpaper.
Her characteristics are definitely not the only one, but this is really very important, and it is the root of her many good reputations.
Like other praises such as "can train actors", "the plot is tight", "the rhythm is excellent", etc., it is also one of the most normal signs in her films.
And this volunteer film can also show some of the director's personal style, such as his use of shooting angles is very interesting, and he is very good at using some still life to express a certain feeling. For example, the dim lamp placed at the head of the bed, with the help of such a small lamp, the child who is still reviewing is even more distressing.
There are many similar situations, and each time you use it, it will not be annoying, but can sublimate the emotion. For that alone, Leila also admires the director and wants to help him.
Fu Chuan didn't think as much as the boss thought, and his mind was now full of how to release it? He couldn't even get permission to release it, and there was no place to release it for him in China. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a way, his friends wouldn't have angrily abandoned the domestic market and set their sights abroad.
It's just that he didn't expect that foreign countries are not a pure land. His films want stars without stars, and if they want to fight without fighting, they are not competitive at all in the eyes of film companies.
Whether it's a stereotype or an empirical one, in short, foreign filmmakers think that if an oriental film wants to be put in an American theater, it must be at least Chen Long's standard. Oriental movies are basically equated with kung fu movies in the hearts of foreign fans, those of Chen Long, or the kind of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Stories like teaching are not in their minds at all, and if it is a film like "The Red Lantern Hangs High" or "Red Sorghum" that exposes the ugly side of the East, maybe they are more interested. Because there are some foreigners who like to watch such films, if they can see the life in the East in dire straits, they will be even more interested.
However, some domestic directors are not angry, and in order to cater to foreign tastes, they deliberately shoot something that depicts ugly vices to compete for awards, and they also say that they expose the dark side.
It doesn't matter what others think of Lyra, she is very unaccustomed to that kind of practice anyway. Even if that kind of movie wins an award, what if it is exchanged for ridicule of other countries for their own country?
Do you really think that those judges will give you the award because of the so-called "exposing the dark side"? No! It is because you please them, make them look good, and see the superiority, will give it to you!
They also presented awards with "appreciation" and praise for "bravely exposing the dark side". Maybe some people really appreciate it with an artistic eye, but who knows what they really think in their hearts?
For example, South Korea and Japan will also make some meaningful films, but they will use stories to attack the whole society and awaken the conscience of the society. Even if the things in the movies are also about the dark side of their country, they can find solutions in the movies to get things on the better side.
For example, a very famous South Korean film "The Melting Pot" tells the horrific incident of a school teacher and leader violating and abusing a disabled child. It was based on a true story, and the end result was that the prisoners were only sentenced to six months in prison under the monslaught of money. Some even returned to their school positions soon after.
The film unravels the evil side in a real and cruel way, causing a huge sensation after its release, and finally even giving birth to a "Crucible" bill named after the movie!
It can be seen how much influence movies can have, and how much impact they can have on people, society, and families.
That's why Leila loves movies, and she's always thought movies are great. It's just that if you want to make the film you really want, you have to have some conditions. The most direct condition is to have money, and only with money can you realize your ideals and shoot what you really want to shoot.
Just like "Silence" now, didn't she start filming after she had everything ready? In this film, she talks a lot about her thoughts, and she hopes that the audience can get something out of it.
She knows very well that the audience doesn't like didactic films, so those deep ideas she wants to elaborate are hidden under something, and it takes digging to discover the beauty hidden in the shadows.
For example, the film recommended to her by Fu Chuan chose another path, that is, to shoot what she wanted to shoot from the beginning, desperately seeking the truth that she believed. It is said that if he doesn't hit the south wall, he won't give up, even if he hits, he will bypass it, and then continue to rush forward. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as going abroad to seek opportunities if it can't be released in the East.
