Chapter 793: Artistic Pursuit?
Volume 1 Chapter 793 Artistic Pursuit?
Next chapter
Tang Feng is not short of money, and he has a huge net worth, and in addition, this film is proposed in such a situation, so, basically, no one will morally accuse Tang Feng.
However, purely from the film level, many people in the industry doubt whether the film with the theme of realistic abduction can succeed.
In fact, films with realistic themes are not uncommon, and they can be regarded as a major category of films, but the difference is that the theme of realistic abduction and the cruel reality theme of the more rural are not favored by film companies, because most of the time, films with such themes are either just gimmicks with realistic themes, but in fact they are often far from being filmed, or they are too real, but it is difficult to make a difference commercially.
Of course, it doesn't mean that all realistic films have no successful precedent, in fact, realistic themes are often adapted from some influential events, but films with the theme of realistic abduction, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, films with this theme have nothing to do with business at all!
The core element of a successful commercial film is the ability to make the audience enter a story as the protagonist and watch it endlessly.
Looking at all successful commercial films, there is a common feature, that is, when telling a good story, let the audience successfully substitute for it, in fact, really popular films often do not have too complicated stories, because for the vast majority of people, watching movies is just for entertainment.
For example, children are imaginative and hope that they will become all kinds of animals, so most of the protagonists of animated movies are animal images, and every man must have a heroic dream, so he makes martial arts movies in China and superheroes abroad.
Love is definitely the most indispensable for female audiences, especially romantic love, of course, everyone has a love for beauty, all kinds of idol dramas flood the TV screen, the male protagonist of the idol drama must be a handsome guy, and the heroine must be a beautiful woman, which is embodied!
And after the audience is substituted, the whole story is a process of gaining a "sense of achievement", becoming a hero, gaining love, defeating enemies, and forming a perfect family......
At this time, they will grieve with the sadness of the characters in the film, and rejoice with joy, and if they do this, then it may be a successful movie!
Although Tang Feng is famous, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in the ascendant, but his films have always been on the path of commercial films, at least in the eyes of those in the literary circle, Tang Feng's movies have nothing to do with art!
Therefore, when they heard that Tang Feng was going to make a realistic film on the theme of abduction, many people's first reaction was, what is Tang Feng going to do again?
The movies made by Tang Feng, from the original science fiction films to the later nonsensical comedies, are all in the category of commercial films without exception, even if it is "Journey to the West", in the eyes of people in the literary circle, although there are many things worth pondering, but in fact, it is also a nonsensical comedy.
Isn't it the work of a literary film director to fight the theme of abduction in reality?
There is a voice of support on the Internet, they don't care about any commercial films, what literary films, they only know that Tang Feng is going to make a new film again, on the annual special of "Huaguo Dream Show", the expressions of those parents who have lost their children can be said to make countless viewers who have watched the show feel extremely heavy.
Especially the last kneeling, it makes people feel extremely depressed.
But for the media of good things, as well as some people in the film industry, they are skeptical about the subject matter of Tang's choice of new works.
In the eyes of many, this is a completely thankless job.
Why? Because commercial films must have selling points, so that the audience can have a sense of substitution, a sense of achievement, a cool point, and abduction? Who does the audience of the abduction story want to substitute? Substitute for the helpless parents who have been abducted? Or do you substitute for the police who catch "human traffickers"? Where is the sense of accomplishment? Arrest traffickers? Can finding a child be more rewarding than **silk counterattacking Bai Fumei?
So in the eyes of many people, even if Tang Feng shoots this film well, the audience will definitely not be too wide, even if the topic of abduction is very hot now, but the depression of such a theme can be imagined.
Some people also wonder, does Tang Feng want to take the road of "art films"? After all, for Tang Feng, he is not short of money, but in the film industry, Tang Feng's success is all commercial films, and he has never won any awards, so such speculation may not be impossible.
In fact, for Tang Feng, he didn't think about what "art" pursued at all.
Maybe some directors will pursue artistic recognition after commercial success, but for Tang Feng, he is really not interested in those things.
This time, he wanted to make a film on this theme, completely out of feeling, and completely wanted to do something that he thought was more meaningful.
The movie "Dear" is definitely a huge challenge for Tang Feng, because this film's ability to tell stories to the director and the acting skills of the actors are not comparable to Tang's previous films.
On the one hand, this film is a realistic theme, the actor is not a successful person, and the local atmosphere is relatively strong, which Zhao Shan is obviously very consistent with, because the reason why Zhao Shan is called the grassroots king is actually because many of the roles he plays are more down-to-earth.
Moreover, Zhao Shan himself was once an abducted child, and in this regard, it may be more suitable for him to play the role of Tian Wenjun!
However, Tang Feng was a little hesitant in terms of the heroine, originally he chose Mu Lingling to play Zhao Hongqin, that is, the wife of the trafficker, but the same Zhao Hongqin is just a rural woman, and Mu Lingling is much worse than Zhao Shan in this regard.
But when Tang Feng watched a local-themed film that Mu Lingling had starred in before, this hesitation was gone!
In terms of other characters, it is okay to say that there are two characters, Tang Feng, who scratched his head for a while!
The first is Han Dezhong in "Dear", this is a successful businessman, after the child was abducted and trafficked, he organized his own "family search team", using all aspects of the power to fight abduction and recover the child, which can be said to be a tough leader.
This role is a very delicate role, first of all, the actor is required not only to play Han Dezhong's toughness and leadership temperament, but also not to overpower Tian Wenjun played by Zhao Shan too much!
Zhao Shan is the king of the grassroots, and his aura is strong enough, to find a leader of the family search team who can highlight his temperament in front of Zhao Shan, this requires this actor to show enough momentum and not be suppressed by Zhao Shan, but he can't steal the show too much.
Such people are obviously not easy to find! (To be continued.) )
