Chapter 150: Director of the Year

If it is subdivided into movies, it is also called genre narrative!

Hollywood movies have three treasures, a coherent editing system, a star system, and genre films.

The coherence system is the basic production rule of Hollywood to achieve the goal of dreaming, making the audience forget that the film is a fake world created by man, and immerse themselves in the joys and sorrows on the screen.

The star system condenses the allure into the handsome signature faces, so that the audience has a fascination with a certain actor that transcends time and space.

Genre films are a detailed classification of movie audiences' tastes and preferences, and each genre forms a fixed norm.

In addition to knowing the names of the director and starring before entering the movie, the general movie audience first understands what type of film it is.

The domestic audience labels Xiaobai as comedy directors and comedians!

If Xiaobai wants to transform, this will become an obstacle for him, but if he doesn't want to transform, this is his huge advantage!

Under the influence of the Hollywood production system, film creation is no longer an individual behavior, and the standardized production system makes film production a batch, assembly-line standardized process, and patterning has become its basic feature.

The determination of the fixed mode can improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost, so the genre film is the inevitable result.

One of the characteristics of genre films is repetition and predictability.

After a long period of creative practice, American filmmakers have summarized some successful models, which are the most commercially insurable and the most rewarding return on investment.

If a type of film is very popular, it will be filmed, and it can generally get good commercial results for a certain period of time.

Therefore, genre films, as a typical concept of commercial films, are the inevitable result of the large studio system in the United States.

Because there are some fixed genre patterns, the production lines of large studios can slightly change the material, and a large number of similar and marketable cultural products can be reproduced.

Let's say the superhero series!

The main character is special, different from us, and therefore not respected!

This is also the reason why there are both success and sacrifice in films of this genre.

In terms of story elements:

The hero must have a special "ability", either to accomplish a great mission, or to do good deeds, to do righteous deeds.

The hero must have an enemy equal to, or even stronger than, his strength, and this person is not the "chosen people", but he thinks he is.

The hero must be "cursed" - this is the price of being a hero, the hero defeats the curse, or is defeated by the curse.

The awesomeness of "Iron Man" is that Tony is not a hero in the traditional sense, so he is popular!

Then Chengsheng launched "The Incredible Hulk", "Thor" and "Ant-Man"...

These heroes have limitations!

Wang Shuo said: "China needs a person like Jiang Wen." With him, we can say that the movies in this big country are not all work. ”

Yes, Jiang Wen's movie is indeed surprising, "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" has all the elements of the blockbuster, and he was stunned to play it badly - the narrative method gives people a feeling of "top students are constantly jumping thinking", as if he just doesn't want to tell you stories with peace of mind!

……

"Directors shouldn't think about the box office? I don't think that's right! ”

"Scoring genres, I didn't consider the box office of "Truman's World", many people said that it was a good movie, including me going to North America to talk to people about cooperation, and they all praised it, but what the domestic film market needs today is not "Truman's World" but a genre movie!"

"The film market is gradually maturing, and in this year's Spring Festival, there is no movie with a traffic faction singing the leading role, I am very pleased, which shows that our audience has passed the era of watching people buy tickets!"

"Okay, that's all, there's really no preparation, and Wu Jing is not here, thank you..."

Bowing slightly, Xiaobai walked off the stage...

This talk show is very... Very average!

He didn't dare to ridicule at will, in fact, if he let go, there are many things that can be ridiculed, such as 'tax evasion', such as 'Huayi', such as 'pants'...

So much happened last year, but I can't mention a single thing...

Too many limitations...

"Wolf Warrior 3" was not released, and Wu Jing was not present, missing an important target.

"Okay, thank you for our wonderful speech, Director Bai, come, let's go on to award screenwriter of the year!"

The host takes the stage and controls the process.

Needless to say, the screenwriter of the year will definitely give "Truman's World", Du Nima won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and it doesn't matter if the Director's Association doesn't give the screenwriter award!

"Thank you for the love of the judges, thank you..."

won the screenwriter award, Xiaobai said two words, he knew that this year would be a harvest year!

"Truman's World" can't win the film of the year, and he won't come to the director's association party again in the future!

Simply, what happened after that did not deviate from his prediction, Actress of the Year was given to Zhang Ziyi, and Actor of the Year was given to Zhang Yi - "Operation Red Sea" always has to have an award...

The film of the year and the director of the year were all given to Bai Xiaofei!

Xiaobai completely let go: "Finally got this award!" I once thought that this award was monopolized by Huayi! Now it seems that it should not be! ”

"Thank you for the political lesson, which taught me to be patriotic and pay taxes according to the law!"

"Thanks to my father, he didn't care much about me, but gave me the most correct example of how to be a right person!"

"Thank you to all the fans, because of you, I have the courage to make a movie that I like!"

"Thank you to all your peers, it is you who have supported the Chinese film market together!"

"Thank you, judges!"

……

The Director's Award selected by the Directors Guild nominally represents the votes of all peers.

Industry awards!

Somewhat similar to the Oscars, the Oscars are the result of all the unions voting together.

If you want to win the director award, you have to vote for the Directors Guild - no matter whether you have a conflict with the director, you have to admit him from the bottom of your heart.

The most awesome move of the pants is to win three director awards from the Director's Association: "1942", "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", "Fanghua"...

It can be regarded as the director who has won the most director awards since the establishment of the Director's Association.

In any case, Bai Xiaofei was the biggest winner in the entire mainland film industry last year - not only at the box office...

"Truman's World" has won numerous awards, Cannes, Oscars, Golden Horse, Directors Association, College Student Film Festival...

This movie directly made Xiaobai's status take a big step, the director, you still have to rely on the award to speak!

Otherwise, what do you say when writing an autobiography? What do you say when evaluating the historical position?

However, in today's film environment, it is basically impossible to expect "Kung Fu" to win the film award - the award will still be biased...

It is estimated that this is also the reason why many peers are willing to vote for Bai Xiaofei: with his style, he should rarely get involved in literary films in the future...

There is no threat to them!

Also to the...

Xiaobai's goal is the king of comedy, not the king of awards!
