How to make a good movie, it requires a good director, and at the same time, a good crew.
What makes Xia Jun puzzled is why many movies in later generations must add some very mentally retarded and brain-dead love dialogues.
Sometimes some very serious movies have to force the surname to add the element of 'surname', which is as disgusting as squatting on the side and pooping when people are eating.
Some directors go to impact some international awards all day long, but they have nothing else but a bunch of jokes, and they really have a problem with their own ability, so it stands to reason that they don't have to rush anymore! However, people are indomitable, and one bad movie after another has not made much splash in the world.
On the contrary, some capable directors can't get on the top, so they can only set up some small studios or something by themselves, and some can't even afford small studios.
All in all, there is a problem in the system, of course, later generations of China did not want to go to the cinema to watch movies, because movies are not popular in China, people did not form the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies in the past, and when movies are popular, what VCD, DVD, and computers come out, pirated CDs plus online pirated movies, can not bring too much money to the film industry, the market is not good, resulting in the entire film market is not prosperous.
China in this era is different, there are not many entertainment projects in this era, and there are not many entertainment options like in later generations, so watching movies is a very important entertainment project, and people around the country have become rich one after another, and often go to the cinema to watch movies, for those intellectuals, watching movies at this time is a must. For ordinary people, movies may be a very new thing, so they will also join in the fun, but sometimes once the freshness passes, it is not very exciting, especially in some places where Mandarin is not popular, and many people can't understand the content of the movie.
There is a characteristic of modern films in history, that is, the cultural level of the Chinese people is not high, so movies with a large number of operas in the movies are the most popular. In fact, the selling point is the heroine of the singing, the more you sing, the more expensive the ticket, and the cheaper the ticket if you sing less.
At present, Chinese films also have this problem, but it is not as serious as in the original history, because at this time, the new force of watching movies has become intellectuals.
One of the most important is the school's teachers and students, who receive three free movie tickets per year, as well as some group activities to watch movies at their own expense.
Free movie tickets belong to the money paid by the Ministry of Education, which is equivalent to supporting the film industry, and this kind of national support policy has made the market for China's film industry very broad.
However, the competition for the three free movies is becoming more and more fierce, and the support effect is getting lower and lower, because with the increase in movies, some movies that can be called classics have also begun to emerge, and the school's free movie tickets are used to watch those movies that have been filmed for a long time, and those movie tickets that have passed a certain period of time are very cheap.
As these new generation of children develop the habit of watching movies, China's film market will become very broad in the future, and as the market gets bigger and bigger, more movies will be filmed.
Movies are related to the spread of culture to the outside world, so Xia Jun has made some stricter regulations on the rules of the film industry, first of all, it is necessary to put an end to the unspoken rules, so that those capable directors and actors can reduce unnecessary obstacles.
In terms of eliminating unspoken rules, Xia Jun referred to the film system of the United States in later generations to a certain extent, and the United States in later generations used American blockbusters to constantly promote freedom and cooking to the world, and at the same time shot a large number of movies that saved the earth and all mankind to promote the justice of Americans.
These films can be said to be a link in the cultural expansion of the United States to the outside world.
The United States has done a very successful job in disseminating its culture to the outside world, and many young people around the world think that everything in the United States is good.
Of course, in terms of the cultural dissemination of the United States to the outside world, it is simply to show off technology, movie stunts and the like, and then the content of the movies is mostly some of the above-mentioned "open cooking freedom and saving the world" movies, of course, there are also a number of films that criticize the American political axe, and then show how peace-loving, humanitarian, and worried about the safety of the earth are in the American people...... The fact that a country's films can be widely disseminated overseas mainly depends on a country's status in the world and its ability to make a living.
The United States belongs to the world hegemon in later generations, and has a large amount of international capital operation, and at the same time, Freemasonry has absorbed many social operations from other countries, as long as the United States comes up with a business operation theme, the following can be very efficient to complete the business plan, and use capital, contacts, discourse and many other advantages to obtain the market.
In fact, there are many excellent Chinese films in later generations, which is undeniable, and many excellent movies are much better than those blockbusters in the eyes of the Chinese themselves, but these films basically have no market in the world. Many of the films that can win international praise are those that cater to the themes promoted by foreigners, and these films not only have no market in China, but help Western countries promote something in disguise.
What is the international film market, most of the Chinese films in later generations are to be shown to others as monkeys, and people come to see your movies with a condescending attitude. And you yourself are here to hold stinky feet, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
This kind of impact is the impact of the individual, not the impact of the group, the impact of the individual has succeeded in making the director and actor famous at most, in fact, the status of Chinese films in the world has not changed a single one.
Whether Chinese films can be disseminated overseas depends on the operation of the state.
At this time, China does not have too many overseas markets, but at least with the improvement of its international status and the fact that China has begun to establish its own international power system in the world, with the increase of the younger brother, the overseas market has begun to increase.
If China can become a world hegemon in the future, and at the same time support a group of younger brothers with a relatively developed economy, then it will be able to form a radiating aura similar to that of the United States in later generations.
At this time, China also established a film censorship system, which was relatively strict, and those that were too violent, too pornographic, and promoted crimes could not be released or released in different levels, and minors could not watch movies with too high a level of restrictions.
China has Chinese characteristics, and Chinese tradition is to be more conservative about things like love with the surname, so it is reasonable and necessary that the film censorship system is strict.
As for what era is progressing, China has not yet opened up to that extent at this time, as for the opening up of the next generation, then wait for the next generation, China is relatively conservative at this time, if Xia Jun comes up with a very relaxed film censorship system, then the social atmosphere will be messed up immediately.
This "The Rebirth of a Nation" has so much money, so it is not too difficult to make a classic, it is not good to reshoot, if a shot is flawed, is it enough to shoot ten times?
It's just about how classic it is.
The reason why many bad movies are bad is largely due to lack of funding, and many extremely bad scenes have no money to change the plots, so they can only bite the bullet.
Many directors may be very talented, but if the ability to work is not up to par, then this director is also a failed director, so the director in most cases tests the ability to work, and in the screenwriting problem, you should refer to the screenwriter's ideas more.
The screenwriter specializes in writing the plot, most of the time it is not worse than the director at all, people have a specialization in screenwriting, and they are bent on the plot of the movie, the director often can't catch up, and most of the Chinese movies in later generations are what the director says, and the screenwriter gives a good script, but there is no right to speak when shooting, and the script is changed by the director into a mess, that is, deleted and imposed some strange elements, such as the director said that there should be a selling point in the first place, so he added some blunt confessions, and there is no logical love plot at all, and the bed scenes rolling all over the ground, etc., a bad movie came out like this.
A director who can write and direct by himself is a very strange director, and ordinary directors can't learn it, and random learning will only make a bunch of bad movies.
The general trend of this "The Rebirth of a Nation" is that Xia Jun has written it, and how to make it up next, that is the matter of those screenwriters, Xia Jun has gathered all the well-known and lesser-known screenwriters from all over China, and ninety percent of them are students he has cultivated.
After the screenwriter writes the script, he has to look at it with Xia Jun, and if there is a problem, he will go back and re-edit it, and make up a script that satisfies Xia Jun.
As a time-traveler, I have definitely watched a lot of movies, and as an ordinary film and television audience, I have a more correct understanding of whether movies are classic.
For example, those bloody plots, as there is a saying: "The first to use flowers to describe women is genius, the second is mediocre, and the third is stupid." ”
In this era, there is basically no bloody plot, so the bloody plot is absolutely lethal and has become a classic, and the plagiarism of the latecomers, if it is plagiarized, it can only be reduced to a bad movie.
This time I want to make a film with the surname of the nation and the country, and you can't just add bloody plots, even if these bloody plots can become classics in this era.
With Xia Jun's check, the screenwriter has passed the test, so it is not a problem to shoot, and if you can't shoot the expected effect, you will reshoot until the expected effect is achieved.
The screenwriters took the general outline of the film made by Xia Jun and began to write the script, and in order to shoot this movie, Xia Jun provided the screenwriters with a large number of historical texts and video materials as references.
Although the budget for this movie is a lot, it may not be able to burn so much money after a movie is made.
