Chapter 403: The director is depressed
Yi Zhiyan has played disappearing since he returned to Taipei after winning the award in France, of course, it is not that the director who won the award wants to disappear himself, it is purely the anger after falling into an embarrassing situation. was originally complacent in Cannes, but suddenly became a director who won an award. Although I also know that I can't compare with those old monsters and Lao Liu, it's only a line away. But the director, who won an award abroad, thought to himself that he didn't know what the newspapers in Taipei had praised him.
Well, this is just a picture of Yi Zhiyan self-hypnotizing before going to bed, in fact, the young director is still very pragmatic. At least in terms of the number of works, there is still a big gap between himself and famous directors. Work hard to make a film, come on make a film! In order to achieve this goal, Yi Zhiyan stayed in France for a period of time, just to seek continued cooperation with the French side. However, God does not fulfill people's wishes, and of course the French side is willing to cooperate, but the money is really not much. If you are engaged in literary films, how bulging can your wallet be.
This made Yi Zhiyan a little unhappy, Lao Tzu also won the award for best director, will more than hundreds of thousands of euros die? The fact is that the French have two hands, and we really don't have much money. Yi Zhiyan was also relieved after realizing that the French were not blinding themselves, but that it was really impossible to give themselves two or three million euros at a time. Anyway, when I go back to Taipei, I have the halo of the grand prize, can't I find an investment?
As a result, the award-winning director was slapped in the face, and in the Taipei film circle, no one really invested tens of millions of dollars in making movies. For this reason, Lao Hou also persuaded Director Xiao Yi earnestly, and the original words are like this: Film is an art, and money cannot measure the achievement of a work of art.
Director Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, you just said that everyone has no money. The loss in my heart, waiting for the release of "Taipei 9 to 5", a small jump at the box office. It made Yi Zhiyan unhappy again. What kind of awards are not mixed with this broken film, but it can still harvest more than 7 million box office? Just kidding, this hasn't been released yet, and when it is released, it won't be more than eight million. Does the audience like to watch salty and wet films so much? Art, you need art to cleanse your soul.
So Yi Zhiyan disappeared for a while, and it really took time to adjust the gap in his heart. By the way, I am waiting for the release of "Blue Gate". Regain your confidence and give everyone a resounding slap in the face.
On September 1, "Blue Gate" was released on all Taiwan, and a small premiere was held at a cinema distributor in Ximending, which specializes in theatrical films. It is said that the distributor is also prescribing the right medicine, and those who watch this film must be some small and fresh literary and artistic youths, literary and artistic middle-aged, and literary and artistic elderly. However, Yi Zhiyan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, in fact, he was a little uneasy, in case the box office could not exceed "Taipei 9 to 5". That's not about losing face.
The director was absent-minded there, and Du Hanwen, who came to attend the premiere, was also absent-minded. There are many things, if Xu Weining hadn't dragged himself to this premiere, he would have been a little reluctant to come.
The paparazzi are very happy, because since "Blue Gate" won the award, they have not put together these four main creators. Not to mention asking interesting questions, now that the opportunity has finally come, how can you not be enthusiastic.
"Is it real that the two of you are kissing in the poster?"
"Xiaomei, what do you think about the love of a woman?"
"Ah Ning, when you were shopping with Miss Zhang Junning. Will I be called by the wrong name? ”
"Du Du, what do you think of Xiaomei's acting skills?"
"Dudu, can you accept the love of a woman?"
The reporters asked questions excitedly, and seemed to have forgotten Yi Zhiyan, who had prepared a lot of manuscripts. No way. Readers are not interested in the director. It's not Ang Lee, I didn't go to Hollywood to make a film, and I didn't go to Japan to make a film, so I really don't have anything to talk about. Not to mention being forgotten by everyone, Yi Zhiyan found that he was gradually pushed out of the problem circle by reporters.
It's really a beep. Yi Zhiyan was speechless, and it would be okay if he was ignored in France. After all, it's a big name and it's full of international superstars. But in Taipei, Lao Tzu is also a director who won the award. It's a good premiere, and no one asks themselves questions. Can it be done? The worst thing is that it seems that these people are ignoring their own anger, can't you see that my brother is losing his face?
Yi Zhiyan blamed these paparazzi by mistake, because they didn't see it at all. Of course, there are still people who will notice Yi Zhiyan, radish and cabbage have their own love. The paparazzi represent business and secularity, and outside this circle, there are two or three big cats and kittens next to Yi Zhiyan, which is niche literature and art. These people are really here for the content of the movie, not because Du Hanwen starred in it, and it was instigated by content like the love of women and daughters. Yi Zhiyan, who was moved, was almost choked, and patiently communicated with every audience who came to talk to him, and even told interesting stories about when he went to France.
Du Hanwen didn't bother to pay attention to Yi Zhiyan, and he received a salary for the symbolism of this film, which can basically be regarded as voluntary labor. For the purpose of this film, it is utilitarian, so don't mention any face, Du Hanwen doesn't think that he will have a chance to cooperate with this award-winning director. The creative director is too sensitive to the market, and this guy actually thinks that he should continue to create a pure lace film. Big brother, don't be funny, okay, your success in this film comes from the addition of your brother and the change of Lin Yuezhen's role. Alas, of course, you can't blame Yi Zhiyan, you can't tell him that you think too much, so let's continue to precipitate.
has no market sensitivity, feels that Yi Zhiyan is going astray, and is too lazy to correct it. This just shows his own vision, just like the question that the reporter in front of him asked himself.
"Du Du, you and Vivian invested in "Taipei 9 to 5" and participated in "Blue Gate". With two new-school feature films that are different from New Wave films, and both seem to be great successes, are you ready to make the leap into the film industry? Are you going to go to Xiangjiang or Japan? The paparazzi asked.
Du Hanwen smiled, "No, first of all, I don't think it's a big success, compared with the predecessors who have achieved brilliant achievements in the film industry, I am just lucky to meet the favor of success." Even compared with director Yi Zhiyan, there is still a lot to learn. The film industry is still a distant thing for me, I am only 24 years old, and I still have a lot of experience to learn and precipitate. Maybe one day I'll transform into a filmmaker, but certainly not now. I also hope to discuss movies with more filmmakers, and I am very interested in the new age genre films. ”
He is telling the truth, but he is only covering up some unspoken meanings. These words are nonsense to outsiders, but they make sense to outsiders. At least Yi Zhiyan pricked up his ears, knowing that Du Hanwen seemed to be very interested in film investment. That's enough, and the original intention is to let the gang know that their interest is to invest in filmmaking, not to make money from distribution.
Investment in filming and production and distribution are two different concepts, investment can be anyone with capital, production and distribution, that is naturally something that only an expert can do. Through this concept, Du Hanwen wants to let the people in the film industry know that he is not interested in bringing Kemi Wisdom into the film industry. Of course, it's not that Du Hanwen is not interested in movies, but he is not interested in Chinese movies in these years. Especially Taipei's local films, which are not money-losers. That is, people like themselves who can still remember the box office and the production cost can still pick out so many movies that can be successful. Otherwise, why is it that the film industry has been in the cold winter these years, the works made are all loss-making, and some people invest in ghosts, this is a negative cycle.
Fame is built up bit by bit, and it is not something that will be recognized by investing in a money-making film. One is luck, two are lucky, and all three are profitable, that is, the vision is good. Therefore, in the face of questions from the media, Du Hanwen also said very vaguely, and there should still be a humble attitude. The entertainment industry has never accepted unruliness, this is a capital market, controlled resources are good resources, and rational partners are good partners.
In the end, the premiere held at the Literary Theater was concise and reserved, and the theme was watching movies, so the things that annoyed Du Hanwen didn't last long, and they entered the theme. Xu Weining is quite happy, he hasn't seen a movie with Du Hanwen in the cinema for several years, not to mention watching the movies he acted, will this experience be the only experience in his life. The little girl has reached the age of being sentimental, and as a sister of Huagang University who is about to graduate, the girl can feel some of the confusion of facing social pressure.
Those students who have never had any performance opportunities in three years are confused about their future. Only a few students have a clear goal, and Rainie Yang is one of the few girls who can spell out a future on their own. As for himself, without Du Hanwen, what the hell is he, Xu Weining has such a cognition. Of course, I don't think so, this is the benefit of growing up with her since she was a girl, Xu Weining has taken Du Hanwen's arrangement of his future as a matter of course. I never thought that what would happen to Du Hanwen if he left him alone, this is unimaginable.
"I'm going to college too." Xu Weining said to Du Hanwen seriously, this is Xu Weining's world, she thinks that she can tell Du Hanwen anything, and he will help her do anything. For example, if you are admitted to a university without confidence, of course, it refers to a university that only gifted students can be admitted to in the eyes of the public, such as the university that Zhang Junning attended.
Of course, Du Hanwen understood what Xu Weining meant, touched the girl's head, and made an easy suggestion, "How about studying abroad?" ”
"I haven't thought about it." Xu Weining was stunned, in the simple world, he never thought about studying abroad.
"For example, I went to the mainland with Xiaomei to learn acting." Du Hanwen said.
Xu Weining looked at Gui Lunmei beside him, "Xiaomei, why do you want to go to the mainland to learn acting." ”
Gui Lunmei smiled, "You are stupid, save money." ”
"What a bad reason." Xu Weining laughed. (To be continued.) )
