Chapter 914: Co-directed

The movie related to dreams is naturally the amazing "Inception" in the previous life.

In fact, Feng Gang and Jiang Wei and other directors who are more familiar with Ye Qiu, after reading the script of "Inception", they all automatically quit.

Because they weren't sure to make this film.

Science fiction films are different from other feature films, not only involving a new world view, but also a more intuitive concept of this new world view.

Like Feng Gang or Jiang Wei, they are actually not very good at this kind of movie.

Even those well-known directors who look at China, none of them dare to say that they will be able to shoot well, because of science fiction films, they have a lot of contact, but they have very little experience in shooting.

"Transformers" and "Iron Man" can be said to be movies whose plot serves special effects, but "Inception" is a combination of special effects and plot, creating a new world through special effects, and reinterpreting the world through the plot.

Moreover, because many directors already have their own style, a new genre sometimes confuses them.

Like Feng Gang, although "The Devotion of Suspect X" broke through his previous comedy style, but, in fact, the evaluation of this film, especially the evaluation of the director, is actually not high, but more due to the excellence of the script itself.

Although many people covet "Inception", there are not many people who are confident that they can shoot well.

What Ye Qiu didn't expect was that Feng Gang actually recommended someone to Ye Qiu, and this person was Zhang Quan, who had been inseparable from Feng Gang before.

"I said Director Feng, how do you think Zhang Quan is suitable?" Ye Qiu looked confused and curious.

Although Zhang Quan's films are often criticized for not being able to tell stories, in fact Zhang Quan is not a storyteller, Zhang Quan is a photographer, and his control of the film picture can be said to be second to none in China, in comparison, his ability to tell stories is naturally dwarfed. ”

"But many times, in fact, Zhang Quan can't be blamed, just on the matter, Zhang Quan's biggest problem is that many times, because of his identity and status, so the movie script and the like are basically his words, whether it is an investor or a screenwriter, they are rarely able to intervene, which also leads to the fact that Zhang Quan's movies are often exquisite pictures, but the story is difficult to tell well. ”

In fact, Zhang Quan has also made science fiction films, but the original movie, on the one hand, was limited by the production cost, and on the other hand, the script was limited, so the box office hit the street, but in terms of picture sense, few people can compare with him. ”

"But Inception doesn't just require scenes, it's still based on the plot, are you sure Zhang Quan can tell this story well?" Ye Qiu asked suspiciously.

"If it's just Zhang Quan, of course not, but "Inception" is different, this movie is already known before filming started, and the screenwriter is you, no matter how big he Zhang Quan is, can he beat you as a big name? Feng Gang said with a smile.

"Do you want to say that this storytelling director is you?" Ye Qiu said suspiciously.

"Yes, I'm in charge of this!" Feng Gang said arrogantly.

Feng Gang's storytelling level is indeed top-notch, but Feng Gang also has a shortcoming, that is, he lacks control over some scenes in the movie.

And this point can be complementary to Zhang Quan.

"You and Zhang Quan co-directed?" Ye Qiu asked with wide eyes.

"Can't you?" Feng Gang asked rhetorically.

"Actually, the reason why I say that Zhang Quan is suitable, another point is that Zhang Quan is actually the director who can spend the most money in China, and ordinary movies, even if the investor is generous, it is impossible to let him squander it uncontrollably, but you are different, you are a big financier, I believe that there will be no shortage of funds, so you can maximize Zhang Quan's ability. I am sure that he will not be able to refuse such an temptation. Feng Gang added.

Ye Qiu had a black line on his head, and said angrily: "You think I'm wronged, right?"

What Ye Qiu didn't expect was that Feng Gang came prepared this time, this guy, in order to be able to participate in the movie "Inception", had the cheekiness to contact Zhang Quan in private.

Ye Qiu had just agreed here, and when he saw Zhang Quan, Feng Gang couldn't wait to make a phone call to Zhang Quan.

In fact, for directors of the status of Zhang Quan and Feng Gang, it is difficult to have a higher pursuit in China, generally speaking, unless it is a special movie like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", it may be possible to let Feng Gang and Zhang Quan co-direct top directors, after all, they are all big names.

Once he takes over a movie, he will definitely not allow others to get involved, but Ye Qiu is different.

"Inception" is also different, if this movie is filmed well, not only is the box office not a problem, but the key is that it is likely to go to foreign film awards.

This was a huge temptation for both Feng Gang and Zhang Quan.

It's not that Zhang Quan hasn't won international film awards, but those movies have a lot to say at the box office, and they are also criticized by the Chinese people.

But "Inception" is different, this movie is a commercial blockbuster, yes, but it contains more profound things about fantasy and reality, about human nature, etc., so that this film will not be a simple popcorn movie.

On the contrary, it will be a rare film that is compatible with art and commerce.

And this is still a science fiction film, and it's not some pseudo-science fiction, but real hard science fiction.

After talking to Zhang Quan, Ye Qiu was a little surprised, although Zhang Quan had mixed reviews, but a big director is a big director, especially about the setting of the world in the movie, the newly constructed world view, Zhang Quan is like a surging river as soon as he says it.

Zhang Quan is worthy of being the most sophisticated director in China who controls the movie picture and scene, and he is the first to say it.

And what is rare is that Zhang Quan actually agreed to co-direct a film with Feng Gang.

In fact, Zhang Quan is not only not stupid, but also very fine, all along, Zhang Quan's strength in movies has caused the people who work with him to interject at all, almost every Zhang Quan's movie is his word, but it does not mean that Zhang Quan likes his own movies and is always scolded.

He also wants word-of-mouth and box office, and who is the most popular screenwriter in Huaguo?

The director who is the best at telling stories, Feng Gang may not dare to be called the first, but he can definitely rank in the top three.

Coupled with his first control and first picture, this "Inception" is definitely expected.

Ye Qiu finally nodded.

First, Zhang Quan came to make this movie, controlling the picture, scenes, and setting of the new world of the movie, etc., and he is indeed the best candidate, and secondly, Zhang Quan's shortcomings of not being good at storytelling can be made up by Feng Gang.
