Zhao Zhenghao's current daily idol value has increased to the limit, and even if the third solo album is released and the second solo world tour begins, the increase has not increased significantly, which means that his potential in music has been exhausted. Ｘ

If you want to attract more fans, you can only find another way, and the film industry is the most interesting.

In the entire world entertainment industry, the status of the film industry seems to be heavier than that of other entertainment circles.

In the real world, movie coffee seems to be more noble than TV coffee and music coffee.

Even if you can refute it with countless reasons such as "no one is high or low", this phenomenon seems to be a definitive conclusion in the entertainment industry all over the world.

In the film industry, of course, there is a difference between high and low, the director's status is the most noble, in the eyes of others, it seems that the popularity of movie stars is higher and the aura is brighter, but in the eyes of knowledgeable people, no matter how big the actor is, the importance of a movie cannot exceed that of the director!

When Zhao Zhenghao implemented the cross-border measures at the beginning, the reason why he took such a big step and stepped into the director all of a sudden was that he wanted to take one step in place.

Now it seems that the results are good, and two consecutive commercial masterpieces with a box office of more than 5 billion yuan, although they did not bring any awards to Zhao Zhenghao, but at least let people see his ability and level, and there will be no more doubts about his directorial identity.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Zhenghao is successful enough in the film industry, but in his own opinion, the current achievements are far from enough, and if he wants to truly complete his goals, he needs to do more and achieve greater achievements.

Zhao Zhenghao, who has made outstanding achievements at the box office, will not simply and rudely transform from a director of a commercial film to a director of a literary film in order to simply pursue the affirmation of awards, he wants to achieve a perfect balance between art and commerce, and in the third director's work, not only must he make some breakthroughs in artistry, but also cannot abandon his existing position, completely ignoring the box office results.

This goal is the ultimate goal of almost all directors, but now it seems that there are not many directors who can achieve this goal in the world film industry.

However, Zhao Zhenghao has confidence in himself, because he is not fighting alone, and there are countless movie masters on the earth standing behind him in his previous life!

In fact, when setting such a goal for his third directorial work, Zhao Zhenghao already had an excellent reference object in his heart.

Zhao Zhenghao quickly browsed some classic films in the Great China Region on the earth in his previous life to achieve a win-win situation for art and business, and a name naturally emerged "Infernal Affairs"!

In Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, "Infernal Affairs", which was regarded as a masterpiece that saved the Xiangjiang film market, was regarded as a rescue work of the Xiangjiang film market when it was released in 2002, and it did achieve the effect of saving the market at that time, which greatly boosted the confidence of Xiangjiang filmmakers.

However, later events proved that the decline of Xiangjiang films was caused by the general environment, and for the self-styled Xiangjiang film circle, a good movie could not complete the important task of saving the entire market!

Not to mention this for the time being, the film "Infernal Affairs" is a classic that achieves a perfect balance between art and commerce, and I believe no one will refute it.

After the release of this film, it not only achieved excellent box office results, but also won the best picture of the two most important film awards in the Greater China Region of the earth in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, which is a great affirmation of a commercial film.

Everyone knows the urine nature of those film awards, in order to show their professionalism and authority, a blockbuster award like "Best Picture" will hardly be awarded to a commercial film, especially a commercial film that has achieved box office success!

In this regard, Zhao Zhenghao's first two directorial works are proof of this!

"A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West", compared with ordinary popcorn movies, still have some connotations, not exactly the display of handsome men and beautiful women, and the accumulation of special effects shots, but because their box office exceeded 5 billion, those movie award ceremonies subconsciously ignored their efforts in other aspects.

Zhao Zhenghao's most injustice is to direct a "A Chinese Ghost Story" with a box office of more than 5 billion, but he didn't even win the encouragement award of "Best New Director"!

Of course, standing on the side of the film awards ceremony, Zhao Zhenghao was not given the affirmation of "Best New Director", the reasons can be listed one, two, three, four, five, and the terms and conditions are all for a reason.

Moreover, Zhao Zhenghao wants to be affirmed by film awards in the profession of director, compared with others, there is still a layer of obstacles, that is, his cross-border identity.

Now, with the prosperity of the entertainment market in Dragon Kingdom, more and more stars are trying to cross borders, like Zhao Zhenghao, as a singer, it is not the first time to pick up the guide tube and do the thing of directing, of course, there is no one like him who is as successful.

The traditional director circle has a lot of prejudice against rookie directors who are not from professional classes, not to mention Zhao Zhenghao, who looks like a joke and spans such a big crossover!

In reality, those who dare to cross the border to be directors like Zhao Zhenghao are all people who have reached a very high status in the original industry, there are singers like Zhao Zhenghao, there are also great writers with equal works, and more are actors.

These cross-border directors, although in terms of the professional quality of directors, are not as good as professional directors who are born in professional classes, start from the bottom, and climb up step by step, but they have another convenience as directors and have a huge popularity that ordinary directors do not have!

The convenience of cross-border directors is that they can use the huge popularity accumulated by their profession to divert the flow to their own directing works!

When Zhao Zhenghao crossed over to become a director, at the beginning, he also did this, when "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" were released, the first thing to go into the cinema to watch was his fans and fans.

Other cross-border directors, although not as successful as Zhao Zhenghao, rely on their own fan effect, and the works they direct, regardless of the quality of the film, at least do not have the risk of losing money.

can not lose money, for a rookie director, it is already a very good achievement.

Before Zhao Zhenghao was born, it was just a case that stars in other fields crossed over to become directors, and after Zhao Zhenghao made such outstanding achievements as a cross-border director, stars in other fields crossed over to become directors, which has formed a trend!

When chatting with An Shuyi and Peng Jieshan, I learned that there are even investors now who want them to try to be directors across borders.

Among the films released in Dragon Kingdom Cinemas in 2016, the directors are cross-border, and there are dozens of them! Although most of these films have lackluster box office results after their release, this kind of cluster situation has caused great dissatisfaction and hidden worries in the traditional director circle.

The traditional director circle believes that this kind of cross-border behavior is an act that disrupts the market and will have a destructive impact on the film market of the Dragon Kingdom!

They hate this situation, and they naturally look down on Zhao Zhenghao, who started this trend and is the best achiever among cross-border directors!

Although Zhao Zhenghao has proved his directing ability with two successful commercial films with a box office of more than 5 billion yuan and a score of more than 7 by professional film critics, those traditional directors who are in charge of the Dragon Kingdom film circle have turned a blind eye to this.

When "A Chinese Ghost Story", I finally gave a few nominations, but when it came to "Journey to the West", I didn't even bother to give nominations, and I made my attitude clear, I didn't want to take Zhao Zhenghao to play!

According to Zhao Zhenghao's consistent attitude, he is disdainful of such a person!

If you don't take me to play, I don't want to play with you!

Although these people control the majority of the awards ceremonies in the Dragon Kingdom film industry, they do not recognize Zhao Zhenghao, and Zhao Zhenghao has almost no possibility of making a difference at these award ceremonies.

However, Zhao Zhenghao is not very worried about this situation, he has a way to break the situation with his own ability!

Zhao Zhenghao's way to break the game is very simple, just like what he did for the Grammy Awards, today you disdain me, and I will make you unaffordable!

As long as Zhao Zhenghao can come up with good works and form a crushing trend for the films of the same period, those film award ceremonies, in order to maintain their authority and fairness, they have to award awards to him!

Infernal Affairs is a great icebreaker!

Its genre of police and gangster films, and the plot of the fight between good and evil, are all quite popular in the current Dragon Kingdom film circle, as long as the quality is passed, it is not difficult to achieve good box office results.

The ideological connotation it conveys, and the traditional concept of the Dragon Kingdom, has a certain sobering significance and is thought-provoking, which is different from ordinary popcorn movies, so that it will not leave criticism from professional film critics and peers in the circle.

In addition, Zhao Zhenghao does not plan to brush up on the single machine this time, of course, he will still hold the production rights of "Infernal Affairs" in his own hands, and like the first two works, he will continue to write, direct and act by himself, but in the choice of other actors, Zhao Zhenghao will not be limited by his side.

In fact, the volume of "Infernal Affairs" is not something that Zhao Zhenghao can brush a single machine, not to mention anything else, but the four main actors, the double male protagonists Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, and the double male supporting Huang Zhicheng and Han Kun, all need to be played by powerful people with excellent acting skills, even if Zhao Zhenghao has booked one of the male protagonists, the other three need to take a lot of effort to find.

The current film market of Dragon Kingdom is quite prosperous, and film talents are constantly emerging, it is not difficult to find actors who meet the requirements of movie characters, but the difficult thing is how to persuade Zhao Zhenghao's favorite candidate to join this movie.

Zhao Zhenghao is now a director, and he has two films with a box office of more than 5 billion, which has a high attraction to some second- and third-tier young actors, and it can be said that they come and go as soon as they are recruited.

However, for those really powerful actors, his attraction is not so high!

Although the current film market in Longguo is prosperous and film talents are emerging in an endless stream, the number of actors who are really at the top of the pyramid is still very small.

said that there is meat to eat with Brother Hao, for those powerful actors at the actor level, it is a joke at all!

Even a big director like Hu Zhenlong has a time when he encounters Waterloo, let alone a small character like Zhao Zhenghao?

Investors may be actively investing in Zhao Zhenghao's third directorial work because of the box office success created by him before, but those powerful actors who have reached a certain status are much more cautious than investors when choosing scripts!

In the film industry, which is changing with each passing day, with many newcomers and changing so quickly, it is conceivable how many efforts those powerful actors have made to reach today's position.

Those people, when they take on a new script, will have a clear purpose, either they will choose a real big production if they want money, or they will choose a literary and artistic work with real ideological connotation.

A work like "Infernal Affairs", which tries to achieve a balance between art and commerce, is more awkward at this time.

In terms of production, although "Infernal Affairs" is a police film, there are no big scenes, and even the car chases and blasting bridges that are used in general police and gangster films are only superficial, and they don't spend too much pen and ink in this aspect, and there are not a few special effects shots, and the production cost is the highest, with two or three billion dragon coins, which is enough.

And the production cost of two or three hundred million is not a big production at all in the Dragon Kingdom film industry, where the production cost is often 500 million or one billion!

In terms of ideological connotation, "Infernal Affairs" is relatively obscure, not as straightforward as ordinary literary films, and it is hidden under the appearance of commercial films.

Therefore, this movie, for Zhao Zhenghao, is a test in the real sense, no longer just a test of his directing ability, this time the test will be more comprehensive!

However, now is not the time to think so much, the first thing to solve now is to get the script done!

The original version of "Infernal Affairs" is divided into three parts, the most classic of which is, of course, the first part, the second part is a prequel to the first part, and the content is also quite commendable, and the third part is nominally a sequel to the first part, but in Zhao Zhenghao's view, it is just a dog's tail continuation mink.

What Zhao Zhenghao wants to shoot is the first part, but the content of the second part is a powerful supplement to the first part, and it also has a certain shooting value, as for the third part...... If after the first or second parts are listed, other directors are interested in continuing the mink, "Zhenghao Studio" doesn't mind investing in it.
