[On the first day of 2017, the days are so fast. Survived]

"Boss, are you rejecting Ou Yang for the sake of face, or do you really not plan to follow his path?" Lao Hang followed, lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"I'm not going to follow his path." Gao Leng stopped and looked at Lao Hang seriously and replied, "Even if someone else gives me this project, I won't accept it, because I don't plan to follow their path at all." ”

Lao Hang, like Xiao Dan, is his right-hand man, as an arm, it is necessary to know the general direction of Gao Leng's next step.

"It's really risky not to go this way." Lao Hang was a little worried: "The way out of this predecessor must be safer." ”

Ouyang's path is indeed the path that the domestic film and television industry is currently taking, no matter how big or small the strength is, when you only have 10 million, you are willing to invest 1 million in each of the ten films, and don't smash into one film.

This is put into the economy, which is called risk sharing; This is left in the business world, called multi-party investment and multi-party income.

Especially in China, don't watch the lively film and television industry in the empire, but there are only a few popular ones every year, not to mention TV series, the ratings are often relatively real, although they can be controlled, but the TV stations are official, and it is more difficult to control. But the big screen is different, can the empire's movie box office be more watery now?

Buying the box office has become a matter of course.

Box office water, which shows that it is smashed a lot, and it is difficult to say how much it will make in the end.

This money is easy to earn, but it is also a test of eyesight, so investing like Ouyang is the most suitable way.

"The way out of the predecessors is indeed safer, but I have a different purpose from theirs." Gao Leng pointed to the group of people gathered around Ouyang.

"The purpose is different?" Lao Hang was a little puzzled.

"What are they investing in films for?" Gao Leng asked.

"Make money."

"Yes, they invest in films to make money, and just to make money. And I'm not, the purpose of my investment in the film is to hope that the empire can have good works, and under such a premise, I will make money. ”

The old hanging was thoughtful.

"Now as long as you invest in films, from top to bottom, it's all about making money, so the empire's films are getting more and more ugly, and there are fewer and fewer high-quality products, and the main culprit is purely to make money." Gao Leng shook his head helplessly, seeing that Lao Hang was still a little puzzled, he asked: "Do you think those Jin Yong's martial arts films made in Hong Kong in the past are good?" ”

"Beautiful." Lao Hang said with certainty.

In the past, although the production cost of old films made in Hong Kong was extremely low, and although the actors' makeup and special effects were miserable, I don't know why, they were just good-looking, and they never got tired of watching them.

"Later, Jin Yong's remake in the mainland, do you think it looks good?" Gao Leng asked again.

Lao Hang shook his head decisively: "Don't mention it, as soon as the latest version of the little dragon girl flew out of the ancient tomb, I wanted to kick her back, what is that thing called?" You can also see the little dragon girl played by Murong Yuyan, but it is still far from what was filmed in Hong Kong, and the most classic is Li Ruotong. Not to mention the other versions, it's just a shot and a ruined one. ”

After Lao Hang finished speaking, he thought about it carefully: "But there have been a few good films in recent years." But compared to a lot of bad movies, there are too few good films, you said that there are more and more people in the director department now, why is the quality of the film getting worse and worse? Get a few singing and dancing little fresh meat to film all day long, what is this! ”

"Do you know why the previous films were good? Especially the martial arts category. Gao Leng asked again.

Lao Hang pondered for a moment and shook his head.

In the past, if you want to talk about money, today's mainland is not rich enough? Any film will invest tens of millions of dollars at every turn; When it comes to acting, many actors are born in the regular army now, and there are many old actors in the mainland, and in terms of acting skills, they are also very good. Speaking of promotion, the mainland's promotion now far exceeds that of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

So why are there so few good films?

"No, I found that the quality of Hong Kong films and Taiwanese films is worse than ours now, why has the quality of the entire film and television industry declined?" Lao Hang didn't understand, he pointed to the group of investors: "It has nothing to do with them, they are responsible for investing money, can it be a bad thing if there is more money?" ”

"It's not a bad thing to have more money, it's bad because too many people want to make money here." Gao Leng sneered: "The most fundamental reason why the films are getting more and more ugly now is that today's films are all second-class or even third-class dealers." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I've created a few hands." Gao Leng explained carefully.

In the past, classic Hong Kong films, when filming martial arts dramas, would respect the original work, basically how the original work was written, the screenwriter was useless, and even the lines would be according to the content of the article, and they would not increase or decrease too much.

And today's films, when adapting martial arts dramas, have one more position: screenwriter. This screenwriter is very powerful, and he can change the cold and cold love between Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo in the ancient tomb into a thick love story between you and me.

This is called a second-way dealer, and this screenwriter is a second-class dealer.

adapting other people's film and television works, and then filming again, is the norm in filming nowadays. This is also why a large number of good-looking novels are adapted and the original books are destroyed.

The screenwriter will add a lot of personal creations, which ruin the original taste.

So what is a three-way dealer?

The three-way dealer is a person who comes after the author and screenwriter of literary works to add some material to his works. This person is called the director. Nowadays, it is no secret that actors ask for additional scenes and change the original lines, and there is even a trend in today's film and television industry: as long as it is a big name with a higher rank, when filming movies and TV series, there will be their own screenwriters who will join the crew together.

What are these screenwriters doing? It is specially used for adding drama and changing lines for their own actors.

In these years, if the big coffee doesn't have his own screenwriter, it will be like having no face, and it has become the norm.

Do you think, there are at least two or three big names in a play, right? That's two or three big screenwriters, plus the original screenwriters, by the way, you have to pile up a director who likes to create on the spot......

Can such a scene squeezed out by a bunch of people be good?

"The empire still has a few good films in recent years, these good films are all respectful of the original work, or there is no literary work, there are directly well-known screenwriters who have written the script, and the director is also the greatest possible respect for the original work and shooting, this kind of work is generally good-looking." Gao Leng said to add a sentence: "Otherwise, there is no script at all, but everything is decided by the director, and in that era, the actors listened to the director." ”

"But what does that have to do with us?" Lao Hang said: "We are investing, what do we care about so much, just make money." ”

"So, I said I had a different purpose than they did. My purpose is to make good films, and their purpose is to make money. Gao Leng patted Lao Hang's shoulder.

"No, boss." The old hanger shook his head: "What you say is not right." You make a good film, but you don't make money, so ...... It won't last long! I think you're still better than Ouyang, this ideal can't be eaten as a meal, right? Now the whole industry is like this, you can't let those people remove the screenwriters, right? You can't let the screenwriters who brought them into the scene be withdrawn, right?

Ideals can't be eaten as meals.

Not to mention the case that the cold foundation is very shallow.
