Chapter 174: The Idea of Foreign Films
After Cheng Long finished asking this sentence, almost everyone sitting in the room looked at Dong Yi and wanted to hear his opinion.
The people here are either actors or directors.
It can be said that everyone has their own different understandings and opinions on film and television dramas, and it would be great if you could hear some other people's opinions on their own dramas.
Seeing everyone's eagerly awaited looks, Dong Yi couldn't help but nod helplessly.
He has no way to deal with Cheng Long, who often pits himself, who makes him an elder?
In fact, the overall storyline of "Red Fan District" is very simple, and the reason is that Huang Hanqiang, played by Cheng Long, learned of the newlywed wedding of Uncle Bi who moved to the United States.
Then he went to the country of rice and congratulated them.
As for Uncle Bi, he is ready to transfer the store of Jingying for many years to others after his wedding, that is, on the day of his wedding.
This person is the young widow Elaine, who is the character played by Anita Mui.
After that, Cheng Long and Mei Yanyu met, and in the process of the following, the two encountered someone to make trouble.
But under Cheng Long's iron fist, this matter was quickly settled, and in the end, the two gained love
It can be said that this is the format of a standard movie.
If it is placed in a TV series, it is likely to be a few episodes of small episodes, but on the contrary, a lot can happen in this more than an hour of movie duration.
Dong Yi recalled the scene when he first saw "Red Fan Zone" and found that almost every detail was handled very well.
However, Dong Yi is relieved when he thinks about it, if he can't even handle this well, I'm afraid it won't cause North American audiences who have been baptized by Hollywood for many years.
Dong Yi pondered for a moment before getting up and speaking.
"I don't know much about "Red Fan District" personally, but more importantly, I learned a few words from Brother Cheng Long."
"I think this movie will definitely be able to get a high box office and good reputation, because this is the first film for China to go abroad."
"But on the other hand, I personally think there is still a little bit of a flaw, and if you can prepare for this, it will be perfect."
After Dong Yi's words were finished, everyone was surprised.
In the eyes of Zheng Shuang and Gu Linazha, Dong Yi's words can be said to have doubts about Tang Jili and Cheng Long.
Because flaws are definitely not something that can appear alone, and if there are flaws, it means that it is the problem of the entire crew.
Are you sure you won't offend anyone else?
Cheng Long didn't expect Dong Yi to really dare to provoke, in fact, he asked this sentence, the original intention was to liven up the atmosphere and make the scene less restrained.
Ordinary people will definitely praise it, after all, this matter is about the face of many people.
But what he didn't expect was that Dong Yi didn't play cards according to the routine at all, which really surprised him.
However, recalling the process of understanding Dong Yi, generally when he says this, there will definitely be flaws.
As for Tang Jili, he also showed a listening expression, and he would think seriously about almost anyone who raised an objection.
After all, this matter is related to the consideration of the North American market.
If what Dong Yi said is right, then if he has it, he will change it, and if he is not right, he will be encouraged.
He wouldn't be angry with a junior for this.
As for Mei Yanwei and Ye Fanghua, they were already dumbfounded at this time.
They had never imagined that anyone would dare to disagree in front of the two of them.
You must know that Cheng Long and Tang Jili are here, even if they are first-line popular stars, they are also sitting on pins and needles.
On the other hand, Dong Yi, who is a little famous, seems very calm and calm.
What does this mean?
shows that he has real talent in his heart, and the two of them also want to see how Dong Yi evaluates this movie.
In everyone's ardent expectation, Dong Yi spoke.
"In fact, this film is already a very top production level in China now, whether it is from the preparation you made in the early stage or the process of shooting."
"You can almost see that you are trying to cater to the North American market, but if this movie is released in North America, it will only be a small hit."
"There's no possibility of a big explosion, do you know why I say that?"
After Dong Yi finished speaking, everyone shook their heads at the same time, after all, this matter was still a little strange to them.
Even if several movies have been released in North America, without exception, they are all drowned in the ocean.
So if they want to find the essence of North American films, they have not been able to control it.
It's Tang Gilli again, and lately, he's been watching North American movies all night every day, trying to find a common denominator.
But this point is very difficult to find, because of the different culture, education level, environment, etc., the movies that everyone likes to watch are also strange.
It's really hard to find the movies that most people want to watch.
It was really a surprise to him to hear a different voice today, but he was also afraid that Dong Yi was talking nonsense.
Dong Yi paused slightly, and then spoke.
"In fact, when we look at Hollywood movies, we will find that there is a big difference between it and our local movies, that is, the idea!"
"Generally, our movies are for the feelings of the family and the country, and for our small wealth, but Hollywood is different, they like to render big scenes."
"Even if there is no cost to make a big scene, it will give the protagonist a very high idea, that is, to save the world."
"Secondly, they like individual heroism, which means that one person can do something as difficult as saving the world alone."
"Don't they know how ridiculous this is? They know, but their countrymen like to watch it, and if I want to give an opinion, I hope Director Tang can add a little bit of ideas to it. ”
After Dong Yi finished speaking, he sat down by himself.
The entire box was now full of pins and needles, and everyone was thinking back to Dong Yi's words.
You must know that in this era, many people don't know movies so thoroughly, let alone foreign movies.
Even though Don Quilli has been abroad several times, he doesn't dare to say how in-depth he knows foreign films.
However, after listening to Dong Yi's words today, he seems to have a new understanding of that confusing foreign movie.
That's a noble goal!
If you still choose to be on the right side, you will definitely encounter Waterloo again.
"Xiaoyi, do you think there is anything that needs to be changed in this plot now?"
Tang Jili asked with a bit of a trill, after all, now he didn't allow himself to fail again.
And Cheng Long can no longer fail, if the plan to enter North America fails, almost nearly 10 million yuan of investment will be lost every day.
This is a very dereliction of duty for a power director.
But now, when he was able to meet Dong Yi today and hear him say such a thing, he suddenly felt that he had a kind of understanding.
It's just that I'm still a little hazy, and I don't know if this matter is right from what I imagined.
He decided to ask Dong Yi what he thought about this matter first.
None of the others spoke, but they could see it in their inquiring eyes.
They're obviously very interested in it now.
Especially when I heard that foreign audiences can also grasp a clear context.
Dong Yi coughed dryly, and then spoke.
"In fact, it is very simple, as long as you set the goal higher, for example, save the world, save the country, and get the love of the people, you can attract a large group of fans."
