Chapter Seventy-Two: What is pretending?
Film and television companies are the same as the writer industry, but they have poor stability, and there is a way that a film achieves a director, a TV series achieves a TV station, and a work also achieves a writer.
Like the "Chainsaw" series, the "Fast and Furious" series, and the "Resident Evil" series, basically a film and television production company survives and must have classic high-grossing movies to make a living.
If one set ends, the next investment fails, and you lose all your money.
For example, the famous literary film master Wong Kar-wai, when he filmed "The True Story of A Fei", he spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars on Ying Zhijie Film Company, and the box office was only more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars, which made the eldest brother Deng Guangrong in the circle lose more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars!
Wang Yang is a fan of Wong Kar Wai, but he is not an NC fan, but a sanity fan.
The so-called sane fans know that Wong Kar-wai is a person who can't make movies at all, and some people will definitely question, what are you kidding, Wong Kar-wai has made so many movies such as "The Grandmaster", "The True Story of Ah Fei", "Mong Kok Carmen", "East Evil and West Poison", he still can't make movies?
Yes, Wong Kar-wai just can't make movies, just ask which director will make a "The True Story of A Fei" with 650,000 feet of film!
And a normal movie, with 20,000 or 30,000 square feet is already a luxury, after a movie is cut, it is about 5,000 square feet, to put it simply, Master Wang made a successful literary film with the film of more than a dozen movies.
"The True Story of A Fei" is actually two parts, just because when the first part was filmed, 40 million was used up, which led to a very peculiar scene of Liang Chaowei appearing at the end of the movie, in fact, the few minutes of the final ending are the beginning of "The True Story of A Fei 2", but there is no money and no shooting.
There are a lot of interesting things.
When Wong Kar-wai was filming, for example, starting at 10 o'clock this morning, everyone may have waited until 12 o'clock and did not see Master Wang, but in the afternoon, Master Wang finally came, and then filming started, and the actors did not have a script, so he wrote a note and handed it to Zhang Manyu and Liang Chaowei.
It probably says something like this-
"Are you feeling better today?"
"Much better, how about you?"
"Me ...... too"
Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu will be dumbfounded, that's right, it's such a dialogue, Master Wang asked the two actors to shoot by themselves for a day, anyway, they just filmed, and they didn't take the money invested by the capital seriously at all.
At that time, Wong Kar-wai's royal actors: Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, and Zhang Guorong began to explore acting by themselves, and often filmed a few times a day, or a month, but they didn't shoot a single one.
On other people, a movie can be completed in two months at most, and here with Master Wang, it may take a month to find a little inspiration, often after a year and a half of shooting, maybe the actor can get the script in the real sense, as for saying that you are going to Wong Kar-wai's film crew, really, don't ask the director what to shoot, because the director is also thinking about this problem, and Master Wang doesn't know what to shoot!
To tell another story, in January 1992, Master Wang promised an investor to shoot the 1993 Jin Yong Martial Arts New Year film, and the investor also asked Master Wang to go to the mainland to shoot it.
Before that era, there were no big scenes at all in the restrictions on various location locations of Xiangjiang Film and Television, such as the Huashan Sword of Condor Shooting in 83, which can be said to be in a studio, with a rockery and a clearly identifiable human shadow.
The Xiangjiang Film and Television Company could not go to the mainland to shoot at all, and it was only later opened.
As soon as Master Wang arrived in the mainland, he felt stunned, and the movie fever became even more crazy, and he originally planned to make "East Evil and West Poison" in a year, but at the end of 1992, Master Wang panicked, he didn't even shoot a fart for a year, and the script was just showing signs.
Helpless, Master Wang could only find his good friend Liu Zhenwei to wipe his buttocks, Brother Zhenwei is a real master of playing movies, and he only helped Master Wang shoot "East Becomes West" with the original cast of "East Evil and West Poison" in 28 days, and then this movie actually became a classic in comedy movies!
Therefore, Master Wang is actually a typical movie enthusiast, an originator-level commercial blockbuster director.
Every year, such as BMW, Dior, and the French fashion brand Lacoste, Master Wang has made commercial blockbusters for them, looking for superstars with high appearance, which is as meticulous as shooting commercials like his movies.
As for commercials, can you find any clues? That's right, I can't find it, and the same is true of Master Wang's movie, which gives you a sense of immediacy of a commercial blockbuster, and a literary and artistic atmosphere that seems to be understood on the surface, but in fact it is a real grandmaster of commercial advertising films.
In any case, Master Wang is a person who truly loves the art of film, and he was born with a fever in the film industry, which makes countless people envious, jealous and hateful.
As for Wang Yang, as a loyal fan of Master Wang, he has always had some special dreams, such as - I also have Wong Kar-wai?
Wang Yang thinks so much, in fact, it is to pave the way for him to do something that shocks the industry next.
"What!"
"What did you say!"
"Say it again!"
Yan Le was crazy, she couldn't believe her ears.
Including Hongyue also had a stunned expression, and even Su Jing and Yan Haitao covered their mouths and looked at Wang Yang with a look of horror, not understanding why he would make such an astonishing decision!
This is too shocking!
"10 million, I invested in "First Close Contact", but I don't want to make a TV series, I want to make a movie directly, I am a director, a screenwriter, and even I can play a role in it." Wang Yang said calmly.
Yan Le was already a little confused, this matter was too impactful, she needed to be quiet, and she really wanted to have a cigarette.
Well, Su Jing hurriedly found Mr. Yan's lady's cigarette, she lit it and smoked a few puffs, suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked rhetorically, "Are you sure you want to invest in making movies?" ”
"Sure!" Wang Yang nodded very seriously.
"Do you know how to make movies?" Yan Le smoked, but it was even more uncomfortable, and she wanted to vomit.
"No!" Wang Yang said very sincerely.
"Ahem ......" "Ahem ......" The whole audience coughed, of course, this was not because of a cigarette, but more because of what Wang Yang said, it was really shocking!
You don't know how to make a movie, you say you're going to invest 10 million!
You can't make movies, you say you're going to be a director!
You don't know how to make movies, you say you're going to be an actor?
"Wang Yang, why?" Yan Le didn't know what to say to him.
Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, and he said calmly: "Because I'm a movie enthusiast!" It's like if you don't know much about photography, but you must have a precious and luxurious DSLR camera at home. ”
Yan Le didn't understand what it meant to pretend to be forced before, but now she knows.
