Chapter 466: It's Hard to Make a Movie
On the afternoon of April 8, Lin Jianguo returned from Xiangjiang. He brought not very good news from Uniasia, and Uniasia was not very interested in the plan proposed by Cloud World to create a series of movies for Yuan Xiaotian.
For Uniasia, they only value Du Xingheyun's talent and attainments in music, not in movies.
Yuan Xiaotian is a new star that Uniasia Entertainment wants to focus on, and they don't want to take it upon themselves to give Yuan Xiaotian some movies that may ruin Yuan Xiaotian's image, especially movies made by novices like Du Xinghe, they really can't see where the future is.
Even if there is all the investment of Cloud World to shoot, Uniasia still has to consider what negative impact these movies will have on Yuan Xiaotian. After all, Yuan Xiaotian is not the kind of little star who can't receive a drama as long as there is a movie. Uniasia has formulated a thorough development plan for Yuan Xiaotian, and Yuan Xiaotian is not worried about not having a movie.
However, Huanya didn't say anything to death, and the final reply they brought to Lin Jianguo's side was that if Cloud World wanted to get involved in the film industry and was willing to invest in making movies, Uniasia Entertainment was willing to cooperate with Cloud World. But it depends on what kind of movie the cloud world wants to make first, and then Uniasia will help the cloud world match a professional team and choose actors to star.
For such a result, Lin Jianguo feels acceptable. After all, making movies is not a joke, he has already inquired about the market in Xiangjiang, but any decent movie, the highlight produced by a company of the level of Uniasia, the investment will exceed 100 million, and the most inferior will also have an investment of tens of millions.
When chatting with Huanya's friends about these things, Lin Jianguo bragged that Cloud World could come up with so much money to make movies. But in fact, he knows very well in his heart that it is difficult for Cloud World to get 20 million out now, and he can't take out tens of millions to make movies.
Now that Huanya is not very interested in Du Xinghe's plan to make a series of movies, Lin Jianguo feels relieved. Cloud World has just relied on a few excellent records to get on the right track, and if you get involved in the more competitive film industry now, there is a great risk of being killed without leaving a single piece of the film. So after coming back, the first thing Lin Jianguo did when he found Du Xinghe was to persuade Du Xinghe not to venture into the film market first.
Lin Jianguo told Du Xinghe about some of the things and risks in the film industry that he learned about Xiangjiang, and persuaded Du Xinghe to put away the idea of making movies first, and wait for the cloud world to accumulate huge costs. When you can use more than 100 million funds casually. It's not too late for them to get involved in the film industry.
A few days before Lin Jianguo came back, when Du Xinghe went to Fang Yajun's house to discuss the new album with Fang Yajun, he also chatted with Fang Yajun about making movies.
Fang Yajun has studied getting involved in the film industry before, so he is interested in all aspects of filmmaking. She knows a little better than Du Xinghe. After Du Xinghe chatted with semi-professionals like Fang Yajun. I realized that I wanted to arrange the story in my head into a real movie. It's not an easy task.
Making a movie is much more complicated than music, editing, directing, acting, shooting, recording, beauty, costumes, chemistry, and Taoism...... Including post-production special effects, rinsing. Promotion and distribution are much more complicated than simply making a record.
Although screenwriting is the most difficult thing in making movies, he can do it, as well as film music, which is also his profession, but the cooperation of many remaining links and multiple departments is beyond his ability.
Although he has finished shots and pictures in his head, he can also draw these shots hastily, but how to shoot these shots is not as simple as he thinks.
Film and television pictures are not a simple reproduction of reality, but an artistic symbol, which is not only a record of reality, but also a transcendence of reality, and a reality that has been endowed with meaning. This purposeful reconstruction is the recognition, understanding and interpretation of reality made by film and television producers or creators based on their own understanding of the world, life and art.
Just like making music, you have to use musical notes to convey all kinds of feelings, and when making a movie, the director also has to use his lens language to describe many connotations.
Even if Du Xinghe had these shots in his mind, if he didn't understand why the director shot like this, it would be difficult for him to copy these shots well. After all, this is not his specialty, and he can't even recognize the meaning of the shots, such as the long shot (big long shot), the panorama, the medium shot, the close shot, and the close-up (big close-up).
the movement of the camera - pushing, pulling, panning, moving, following; Angle of the lens - head-up, down-looking, upward-looking; the director's composition, type, and principles of picture composition; the quality of the picture, whether it is soft or hard; Whether the direction of the light is front, side, back, bottom or top; Whether the intensity of the light is strong or weak, and whether the light tone is high-key or low-key; The matching relationship between the proportions, positions, and areas of different colors in the picture creates different visual perceptions such as thick and light, light and dark, warm and cold, rich and simple. and the color effect created by the combination and change of color with the help of the intrinsic connection between color and human emotion in the picture; The color treatment of each part is governed by the way the overall design of the tone is ...... And so on, he is not a professional, and he can't interpret and copy it flawlessly like making music.
It's okay to say that pure commercial films don't pay much attention to artistry, but movies with real connotations need to understand more things, even if he has seen the movie, it is difficult to reproduce the things in the movie, after all, there are many factors in the movie, what kind of actor he acts, how to act, what kind of director guidance and counseling he needs, these are not things he can handle.
Fang Yajun was bluffed by the complexity of the film several times more than the music, so she didn't cross the border to make a movie, and now Du Xinghe wants to make a movie, so she taught Du Xinghe some of her difficult experience in the preparation of film organization and filming from the perspective of a musician.
Du Xinghe also had a headache after hearing this, and it was only then that he realized that copy movies are far more complicated than copy music and novels, which is really not something that they non-professionals can handle.
In the film industry, the most talented directors are recognized as the most talented directors, usually before the start of filming, the shots and stories that are going to be filmed are organized in their minds, and before the start of filming, they have in their minds what kind of movie should be after the final shooting, which is also the highest state of film directors. It is difficult for ordinary people, even if they have the most professional director education and training, to do this, unless they are the top talented directors.
Fang Yajun has read Du Xinghe's storyboard script, although the notes of those shots are not so professional, and there are no scheduling and more professional auxiliary tips during shooting, but a story can be arranged into a divided shot, and even the length of the shot time is divided, which is obviously what a director with the highest level and talent can do. So she is very optimistic about Du Xinghe to make movies. She believes that Du Xinghe's talent in the field of film should be much better than his writing songs.
After Du Xinghe realized how difficult it was to make a movie, he didn't want to shoot at this stage so much, because he realized that it was too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and he still left it to more professional people to do. He only provides script ideas, and what kind of shooting can be made depends on the kung fu of a more professional director.
Originally, he still wanted to go to the set to shoot with the director, watch the camera to help the director correct some details, in order to capture the feelings in his mind. But after listening to some of the professional terms Fang Yajun said, his head became bigger. In front of professionals in the film industry, and even in front of semi-professional Fang Yajun, he is like a stunned young man, he doesn't understand anything, how can he go to the set to give advice to other real directors? It is estimated that if someone smashes a professional word, he will be smashed, just like a non-professional musician who gives him advice, he will definitely disdain it in his heart, so he will not humiliate himself.
As for the release of the Cantonese version of "Little Bird", on the side of Uniasia Music, Lin Jianguo's friends are still quite helpful and are still willing to do it. Even if Du Xinghe does not make an album for Yuan Xiaotian, they are willing to help do it, after all, this is a money-making thing, and the Chinese version of "Little Bird" has given Uniasia Music confidence, and they firmly believe that making the Cantonese version of "Little Bird" can make a profit.
Xu Nuo recorded the Cantonese version of "Little Bird" - "Daydream" written by Fang Yajun, and when he was in school, Huayi gave the students of the music department and the performance department to strengthen the practice of Cantonese, so they sang Cantonese songs with accurate pronunciation, and basically did not need to be corrected, as long as the feelings were reorganized, it was fine.
Luo Lan lived with Wang De and Yan Ruisha for a week, and also thought about it for a week, and was persuaded by Duan Xiaoxuan for a week, and finally compromised with the cloud world. She decided to sign a newcomer contract with Cloud World, and formed the "King of Yama" group with Yan Ruisha and Wang De, and fought in the music world again.
The biggest reason why Roland finally compromised was that she saw Yan Ruisha and Wang De studying and training hard every day, and in them, she saw something called "hope", which was not in the two teammates she had in the past.
In the eyes of Wang De and Yan Ruisha, she saw a kind of confidence in victory. This confidence inspires and inspires her! Together with two girls, she's going to make a name for the half-breed! Lay down a big world! (To be continued......)
