Chapter 828: You don't have to please foreigners
Many people don't know much, directors are basically masters of painting, and you can check some of the big directors' storyboard manuscripts, which are the pictures you want to show before shooting, only the director knows, and others don't know.
Then the director has to draw what he has in mind, and each director's manuscript can be called a comic, and the drawing is better than the cartoonist's drawing, but there are also bad drawings, such as the director who flies with bullets, his manuscript is very abstract, so abstract that he needs to keep writing a bunch of words to interpret it.
Xu Jie threw away the cigarette butt, took Zhao Mingyang's mobile phone and looked at it carefully, after reading it, he knew what he was wrong with, the effect that Zhao Mingyang wanted, the eyes of the hero and heroine were all unknown fear, despair, expectation, hope, and the eyes of each sub-shot were different.
There is also the demeanor of the heroine, she was sluggish in the early stage, her eyes were godless, Liu Bingbing didn't show it, the male protagonist was wrong, the eyes of the dismissed male protagonist were cloudy, and the expression was so that people could see that they were acting, the most important thing is that the male protagonist looked at the eyes of the female protagonist, Zhao Mingyang drew it here, it was love rather than other crooked thoughts.
Xu Jie was shocked by Zhao Mingyang, what Zhao Mingyang said before was really not bragging, he really understood.
Zhao Mingyang had told Xu Jie about the points that Xu Jie should pay attention to, but Xu Jie thought that Zhao Mingyang was a layman to join in the fun, and he said that he must have done it in his heart, so Zhao Mingyang came to this trip, he just knew that Xu Jie was a bad person.
So Zhao Mingyang asked him to do it first, and then hit him, he had to give him a direction, he had a good sense of the camera and was very good at shooting, but he still had arrogance, but he hadn't tasted a real sense of accomplishment, and he had been living in a world of self-aggrandizement.
The reason why Zhao Mingyang signed him was that he knew that he had this ability, but his personality was too stubborn and self-conscious.
This time, Zhao Mingyang is going to hit his morale, how to suppress this kind of people, is to hit the strengths of this group of people, the most effective, let them know how many dishes they have, let them lose themselves, cater to the public, and shoot according to the specified things, otherwise he will never get up, he doesn't think about the market and investors at all, and he has been complacent all the time.
"You can see it, what is the story we want to shoot? It's a story about a village, what we want to film, you have to figure out that it's a couple of people who have no feelings at all getting married, and it's a couple of people who feel that the village is a waste of people getting married.
These two people have been sneered at and disliked since childhood, what do you say is in their eyes? It's low self-esteem, it's fear, it's confusion, it's expectation, it's expectation, it's expectation, it's fear, it's not changing.
What do you say is in the eyes of the actor you chose? Some are special women, and you can choose this kind of goods, that is the failure of you as a director.
You will find problems when you shoot by yourself, but you are not necessarily embarrassed to ask him to leave, you have no rights, you are just a director, but this actor is still your choice, you can only try to help him correct it and follow the original script.
What's the end result? It's garbage, it's a bad movie, why do you think the films you make are getting less and less attention? The audience is not stupid, you give people to eat delicacies and delicacies, people can tell the difference.
Don't say that the audience doesn't understand art, anything that a hundred people can't understand, it's not a cow's thing, it can't resonate, and then interpret it, if it doesn't look like a cow's criticism at a glance, it's not a cowhide.
Why did Van Gogh's paintings criticize, because everyone was shocked when they saw it, and then why did some people think that Van Gogh's paintings were not so shocking? Because there are too many imitations, all of them learn from him, and even correct and process them on the basis of the original, which will only look better than the original paintings, so are these people's paintings better later?
It's not good, because it's all imitations of Van Gogh, this world only needs one Van Gogh, he already exists, and there is no need for copies, because things are rare and expensive, no matter how good your painting is, you can't have much success if you learn Van Gogh.
As long as you are a top painter, you must have your own style, you must be groundbreaking, you see what you are doing now?
You're constantly learning the techniques of the previous art filmmakers, what's the use of your good films? There are too many on the market, you just show other people's things in higher definition quality, just like an actor who goes to learn from Chaplin and Mr. Bean, do you think he will be popular?
Don't think I don't understand your profession, especially what people who make movies like you think, you don't want to make progress at all, you just use the usual means to shoot.
So many, why is there a domestic director's films that have a mediocre response in China, but always win awards internationally?
This man's fat man's spray shooting skills are far worse than those of the king of sunglasses, how far is it? Let me tell you, it's the same art film, and he's really much worse than others, because he's always repeating the same thing.
Is that suffering, shooting the same thing once, twice, three times, do you think the audience is stupid? Did the audience like it? Kindness is suffering, ignorance is suffering, numbness is suffering, everything is meaningless, and the most suffering side is brought to the fullest.
But how many people around you, in a school, in a township, or in a county, experience suffering every day, and this is magnifying suffering.
Think about it, you changed your background from the countryside to the city, you couldn't make money by filming a group of people working overtime every day, you didn't have a good job after graduating from college, you couldn't afford to buy a house, you couldn't afford to get married, and suddenly your parents were seriously ill, you yourself were seriously ill, your lover was seriously ill, and you were defrauded, you were cheated out of all your savings, and you finally had a child, and the child was not yours, etc.
Do you think that if you add these things together and shoot too much, you will love to watch them yourself? Filming this kind of thing, magnifying suffering, this just satisfies the coolness of some foreigners, and you let the director have the ability to change the background to Europe and the United States.
Shoot foreigners for zero yuan every day, shoot foreigners sleeping in tents without home, and shoot more of foreigners' suffering, do you think he can get the award? I can't get it, but if a foreigner shoots it like this, and it will be released on our side, it may give him an award. Why? Taste your own.
But there is a big hole here, you have to know that many directors and actors who shoot this kind of theme have won awards abroad that are not very valuable at all, and there are still many people who can't take the show in China after winning the award.
To put it mildly, this is to do one thing repeatedly, there is not much technical content, winning awards for the sake of winning awards, and winning a bunch of awards that basically no big directors can see, just this director tasted the sweetness and satisfied his vanity.
The story structure of his film is not complicated, if you want to shoot this kind of thing, let alone you, many directors can make it, but the value of this kind of movie, have you seen it, what do you leave behind? It's just that it's very uncomfortable when I watch it, and I don't have any memory points after watching it.
It's easy for you to make someone cry, it's easy to make someone scared, but it's too hard for you to make a laugh and keep laughing, and it's too hard for a person to listen to you all the time.
What's hard to shoot? For example, why did the overlord Farewell My Concubine have such a big response at that time, and won awards at home and abroad, and they were all praised? What's in Farewell My Concubine? There is a microcosm of feudal society, there are unspeakable emotional lines, things with national feelings, and so on.
Another example is if you take a closer look at the things taken by the king of sunglasses, there are several characteristics of his things, which are suitable for QQ signatures and WeChat signatures, high-pressure dialogues, and exquisite picture quality.
But the content of every dialogue is that you will say that I am grass after listening to it, which is very forceful, and there is a layer of deep meaning.
But what about his story structure? There are love series that reflect the unacceptability of the world, there are love between men and women in the city, there are stories about killers, stories about rivers and lakes, stories in a carriage, etc.
In fact, the content of the story is different, and you can win awards like this, which is that although many people complain about him, at least his shooting techniques are technical and not tricky.
What is this film we are about? The background of the story is not now, the background of the story is put more than ten or twenty years ago, if we shoot suffering, pain, we will never be able to shoot those people who specialize in this subject.
Because you can't shoot them, they have become accustomed to filming this kind of thing, how the pain comes, and you don't agree with this in your bones, because you know that there is not only pain at the bottom, but also joy, anger and sorrow.
So what is the premise of our story, you have to be clear.
We can't be the same as those group of people, we rely on filming this all our lives, and then we won a bunch of awards with no gold content, we want to win awards that can be won in China, you say that in addition to the Oscars, Cannes, Venice and other awards, what other awards abroad have too much gold content now?
is these awards, the gold content is also declining year by year, the current film market is a domestic film can break billions, what is the concept? This is our domestic film market, which allows foreigners to make movies to cater to us.
A movie with billions of Chinese coins, such a big market, are we going to shoot something to win a broken award to please foreigners? It's not worth it, it's not worth it.
Our film market is big, and we have to be stupid to follow those old roads, that is, we are stupid. Zhao Mingyang said.
Xu Jie seems to understand what Zhao Mingyang means, what Zhao Mingyang wants to shoot is really easy to win awards in China.
Not only won the award, it is likely that the box office will be profitable, but Xu Jie wanted to shoot according to his own ideas before. Now hearing Zhao Mingyang say this, Xu Jie feels that he is too shallow, and Zhao Mingyang is much more powerful than him.
He admitted that some of what Zhao Mingyang said was right, that is, he was accustomed to routines, winning awards for the sake of winning awards, satisfying his vanity and reputation, and not being able to make really good works, because he didn't have that ability, and he could rely on awards that some big directors couldn't look down on. Go grab a few more to wrap yourself.
Zhao Mingyang said that the directors who shoot suffering films shoot those things, no one in China can not shoot them, because there is no skill, magnifying suffering, but people can shoot or not, because this really can't highlight the director's skills.
For example, Xiao Gang Cannon can make comedies, wars, and social movies. This kind of thing is called directorial skills.
