17 p.m., 7 p.m.

Screening hall of Beijing Film School. Be booked up.

Hundreds of teachers and students are waiting for today's protagonist, Wang Qinian, to come to the stage to give a lecture and share his way of filmmaking.

The more successful students of the film school came to the stage to share their experiences, which is also the tradition of the film school!

Even, many seniors and seniors who have graduated for many years are often invited back to give speeches or hold seminars at school. In addition, domestic and international directors, screenwriters, superstars, and influential figures in the industry may be invited to give lectures.

The texts of these lectures will be recorded and may not be included in theoretical books in the future.

Wang Qinian naturally would not refuse this opportunity, and first screened the movie "The Gate of Destiny" in the school screening hall. After that, the host of the venue invited Wang Qinian to give a speech.

"Dear students and teachers,

I didn't prepare for today's speech, and I didn't have any drafts, so don't be surprised if I think of what I said and what I said wrong.

Today, I can give a speech, hold a seminar, and say a pretending word, that is, because my "Gate of Destiny" movie is popular, which is a hot mess for my age.

So the teachers at the school gave me an opportunity to share the so-called successful experience.

Of course, successful experiences can be shared, but whether it will succeed or not, I can't promise you. is like imitating Warren Buffett to speculate in stocks, but you may not be able to become a stock god like Warren Buffett.

Perhaps, everyone has to ask, why is "Destiny's Gate" popular?

It's actually very simple, flip through the textbook yourself.

In particular, the basic textbooks of drama writing, as well as some textbooks written by screenwriters and best-selling authors in Hollywood. Inside, the mystery of the best-selling has been explained very clearly.

The movie is a hit, which is actually similar to the nature of a best-selling book. In my opinion, one word to describe 'story'!

Yes, the kernel is the story!

Before the advent of the Ming camera, the story had been in existence for many years. Even, in ancient times, words were enough for stories before they were born.

Primitive societies all have stories.

We used to be on stage, performing dramas, sketches, and cross talks. Even, it is simply a storyteller, which can be just as popular and has a huge audience and market.

This essentially illustrates a logic - people have loved to listen to stories since ancient times. Although, we can now express xiàn stories in a variety of ways, in essence, they are all stories.

There are always similarities in successful movies - they are often good stories!

In the early years, European cinema did not think of cinema as telling a story, but as a moving painting. So, despite the fact that a bunch of artists joined the creation of films, European film festivals were far inferior to American Hollywood films, and proved to be a detour.

Hollywood has taken the world by storm so far, and the secret of its success, in my opinion, is quite simple - the story! They always analyze what stories and what themes the audience likes to watch. Eventually, invest in these genres that audiences love to watch, so Hollywood's movies reach their peak commercially, and after that, their influence also reaches their peak!

As I said above, movies use lenses, sounds, etc., to tell stories to the audience, and this story can be told more vividly than simple words, and even, the performance on stage is not as good as what is shown in the movie. And popular movies are often skillful and very ingenious to cater to the audience and tell stories that the audience loves.

Some directors disdain and have to make movies with no story to speak of. Then, the public can't understand it and don't want to watch it, so naturally there will be no box office.

The public is just looking forward to seeing a good story!

A movie is a good story, it basically has to be done, it is not dull, and the audience can understand it, which is the passing line. In our drama textbook, we have told everyone how to create a story above the passing line.

Passing the passing line means that the story you shoot exceeds the audience's expectations.

Over-expected, it's not that the story is **. In fact, the audience's disgust with those ** stories.

Award-winning movies are getting more and more ** now. It's hard to win awards when you shoot normal people. You have to shoot people with disabilities, people with sex (that),, neurological patients, ethnic minorities, tribal aborigines, poor, backward, as if this is literature and art.

Well, since those are literary and artistic!

I have to say, that kind of literature and art is disgusting and dull. Ordinary viewers come to see your movie, and after watching it, absolutely most people will think to themselves, what a chicken (that) thing!

The audience doesn't like that kind of movie very much, and the box office market has already told you!

Therefore, commercial films and art films are two paths.

Combining art and commerce, there are any, but very few.

My personal choice is to pursue a high box office even if I never win an award, and the movie is superior to not losing money. Only films that do not lose money will continue to receive investment in the future. The director has entered a benign exhibition and growth path, and this is a sustainable exhibition.

What about a normal commercial film?

According to those Hollywood movies, they are all what the audience likes, what they shoot. The commercial elements of a qiē are inseparable from the stories that ordinary audiences expect.

For example, heroes, war, science fiction, time travel, hunting, sports, song and dance, campus, workplace, business, finance, hackers, doctors...... The things we usually fantasize about are not satisfied in reality, so the film and television works in this area will exist in the zài market.

We look forward to winning the lottery, buying stocks to make money, and we expect movies to win awards or sell big. We look forward to being valued by others, we look forward to success, we expect to be affirmed, we look forward to a love, we look forward to flying walls, we look forward to aliens, and even we sometimes look forward to a kind of catharsis that is not called depressed......

Success, good looking movie!

It often caters to the 'expectations' of a part of the audience!

You can't satisfy all the audiences, you just need to meet a part of the audience, what they expect, and you shoot it, then you can get this part of the audience. And what the audience expects, you not only have to accomplish, but also, to accomplish what they expect.

This is where innovation comes in!

For example, in my "Gate of Destiny", the music, these music are all composed by myself, you may have heard it great, right? These music, set off the atmosphere of the movie, give the audience a better audio-visual enjoyment, this is part of the audience's expectations.

In addition, the time travel in the plot is relatively rare for the audience to watch, and it is still relatively novel, which can be regarded as an innovative setting that has exceeded the expectations of many audiences.

In addition, every time I cross the "Gate of Destiny", the experience of the protagonist is completely new. Changing and defining one's own destiny again is also a part of the audience's expectations.

To put it simply, I not only meet the subject matter that the audience wants to see, but also not only meet the basic needs of the audience, but also give them more innovation and surprise.

In short, popular movies, start with a good story. Therefore, before making a movie, you should first refine your story and script, and let more people help you improve your story, so that the traffickers and pawns also like your story and are willing to watch a movie adapted from this story, then the more likely your movie is to succeed......"

This year, classic textbook-level works such as "Your Script is Inferior" and "Story" have not yet come out. Therefore, many of Wang Qinian's statements are refreshing.

Even if there are already textbooks on plays, they are the same as what he said. However, the current drama books do not emphasize that the core of the film is the story, but the drama books emphasize that the film is different from other art forms such as novels.

Future...... New theories, more and more research on the essence! On the contrary, many people have proposed that various literary and artistic markets are the same.

In this lecture, Wang Qinian's speech was dry, but the applause he received was also overwhelming.

Some teachers even smiled at Wang Qinian.

In particular, in the literature department where Wang Qinian is located, several teachers are even more proud!

In the first half of this year, Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu", which had just graduated, began to become internationally famous and won awards in many overseas regions. Although this is a banned film in China, it does not damage Jia Zhangke's fame.

And Wang Qinian is a student, just a sophomore, the movie has been released in domestic theaters, and it has also achieved a box office of more than 1ooo yuan.

Jia Zhangke's success is only blown by the media, but after all, ordinary audiences rarely watch his movies, and in addition, they make very little money.

Although Wang Qinian's "Gate of Destiny" did not win an award, its box office success made it more valued by the domestic industry.

If domestic investors choose to invest in Jia Zhangke and Wang Qinian's next film. can only choose one of the two, then, most people will most likely choose to invest in Wang Qinian's movie.

Because, the purpose of Wang Qinian's film is to be popular with the public and not let investors lose money. And Jia Zhangke's movies are not necessarily the pursuit of profit.

Moreover, it is not only the box office that is good, Wang Qinian has good academic performance, and his theory is often refreshing. This is what the teachers of the Department of Literature are proud of!

Future...... The Department of Literature may prosper with the popularity of Wang Qinian and others!
