Chapter 391: Spare Tire?
In the Anti-Japanese War dramas, the vast majority of them are tall and complete films of our army and weaken the enemy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The same is true of "Decisive Battle" and "Die Hard", but as the main theme of the film, it is normal to beautify our army and scandalize the enemy.
And Ye Qiu's film not only did not beautify the middle-level officers of our army, but also focused on portraying the shortcomings of the middle-level officers of our army.
Not only the protagonist, but also some supporting roles, although it feels down-to-earth, but Hua Zheng is even more hesitant, the main theme of the film is naturally our army, so naturally we can't talk ugly about our army, but Ye Qiu did the opposite, although it can't be called ugly, but it does subvert the image of our army, especially officers.
If it's just like that, it's nothing, Ye Qiu's film, not only that, but also the first time that the generals of the national army have been "beautified", and the island army has also been highlighted in Ye Qiu's script for its cunning and cruelty.
This rarely appeared in the previous anti-Japanese war dramas or main theme dramas.
If it were someone else, maybe Hua Zheng would have killed such a script a long time ago, but he saw some shadows of "Soldier Assault" from this script.
The protagonists in "Soldier Assault" are definitely not tall soldiers, but have distinct personality characteristics, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
And "Soldier Assault" was successful, so does it mean that such a plot is what the audience loves?
But the question arises again, can such a drama that somewhat scandalizes the middle and high-level officers of our army?
……
"Old man, the script was selected by a few of you, tell me which one you think is better?" Hua Zheng asked with a smile.
"To be honest, "Decisive Battle" and "Die Hard" are innovative, but I think they are not much different from the films we made before...... "Director Fu Shan analyzed.
"But this film, don't you think, the position is a bit problematic?" Hua Zheng asked as he knocked on the table.
"The position is a bit problematic? I don't see it that way, to be honest, do you think the films we made before are real? On the contrary, I think that if there are shortcomings and personalities, they are more real, no one is perfect, we can't deceive ourselves, the audience is not stupid, it's okay once or twice, I watched too much, do you think we shoot like that, they really believe it?"
As for saying that the generals of the national army have been beautified, I don't think so, in fact, we all know that this script is more in line with the facts, and although the national army of those years had such and such shortcomings, it was indeed higher than most of the middle-level cadres of our army in terms of cultural and educational level. ”
"Besides, this time is different from the past, I don't think it's necessary to go online so much, right?" Fu Shan said politely.
Hua Zheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, he also knew that what Fu Shan said was the truth, but things couldn't be looked at like this, after all, this was the main theme drama, and he had to take into account the impact.
"Director, if you want the audience to like it, you can't follow the rules anymore, I believe that the director can see it from the dramas filmed by those film and television companies, although they have gone astray, but it has been confirmed that what the audience likes to watch is something new, not the same old thing. ”
Hua Zheng also thinks that among the three scripts, Ye Qiu's one is the most brilliant, and he also understands Fu Shan's thoughts, but he is the director of the TV department, if he really wants to make this drama, he will have to take a lot of risks, after all, this drama can be said to be wiped out in many places.
"Old man, I understand what you said, but you also know that we are making a demonstration film of the Anti-Japanese War this time, so eh!" Hua Zheng sighed.
"But this is indeed a rare good film, it's a pity to give up. Fu Shan said with a pity on his face.
He can understand Hua Zheng, after all, this film is indeed a bit outstanding.
"It's not necessary to give up, this drama definitely can't be done with the brand of our Bayi Factory, but it doesn't mean that it can't be done. Hua Zheng said with a smile.
"Oh, Director Hua, what do you mean?" Fu Shan asked in surprise.
"We can't do this film, we can't use it as a demonstration film, but cooperation is still possible, this drama is Dianjin Film and Television, the script was written by Ye Qiu, this little guy is not simple, let him do it himself, our factory can give some necessary support." Hua Zheng said with a smile.
Fu Shan's eyes lit up, yes, this kind of drama with some edge rubbing is indeed not good to be used as a demonstration film, but it doesn't mean that it can't be filmed.
In fact, Huazheng still has a sentence that has not been said, that is, when the time comes to publicize, Bayi Factory can stay out of the matter, and if the response is good in the end, then Bayi Factory can also release this film is actually a demonstration film, after all, it is a cooperation between Bayi Factory and Dianjin Film and Television, if the response is not good, or something goes wrong, Huazheng can completely leave himself alone.
Maybe other film and television companies will be reluctant to benefit, but for Huazheng, that is not the most important thing.
When Ye Qiu got the news, he was not disappointed, he also knew that this film, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are indeed a lot of marginal things, and it is indeed not suitable as a demonstration film.
However, to Ye Qiu's surprise, Bayi Factory did not completely give up this film, but vaguely said that although this film is not good as a demonstration film, if Ye Qiu wants to do it himself, Bayi Factory will give Ye Qiu the necessary help.
It means that Ye Qiu understands that this film can be regarded as a spare tire.
If something happens, it has nothing to do with Bayi Factory, and if it happens, or the results are very good, then when the time comes, it must be named a co-production of Bayi Factory.
The temptation of the demonstration film is indeed great, but for Ye Qiu, the current situation is the most ideal, without him, because only he knows how popular this film will be.
Although they are in different planes, many things are still the same.
Moreover, there are two biggest problems to be filmed in this film, one is the script review, which has the secret support of Bayi Factory, presumably there will be no big problem, and secondly, it requires the cooperation of the military, which has also been solved, of course, because of this film, Bayi Factory will not invest because of the sensitive reasons of the subject matter and the script itself, but for Ye Qiu, the problem that can be solved with money is really not a big problem.
In the end, the anti-Japanese war demonstration film was announced, there are two in total, one "Decisive Battle" and one "Die Hard".
The cooperation between film and television giants and state-owned giants is the main theme drama, and it is naturally not a trivial fight in terms of publicity.
The two films were soon announced and began to enter the casting stage.
In contrast, Ye Qiu's film is a lot more low-key, the director is Fu Shan, a senior director of Bayi Factory, in fact, it is said that it is dominated by Dianjin Film and Television, but Ye Qiu is actually only responsible for investment and screenwriting, and the others are basically people from Bayi Factory.
