Chapter 561: The Vitality of Movies

For the bosses of major entertainment companies, every time they invest in movies, it can actually be said to be a gamble.

The risks are known only to them.

Anyway, they really can't see whether investing in a movie can really succeed and whether it can be a box office hit. What they can do is to invite well-known big directors to shoot, and invite those big stars or small fresh meat with huge fans to shoot.

Only when there are more conditions and possibilities for success will they think twice and invest.

Like Huang Bai now, this does not consider the risk of investing in movies at all, just focusing on making movies good regardless of the cost, they really haven't seen it, and they don't dare to imagine it, they ask themselves, they really can't do it so pure.

After all, their money is not blown by the wind, and this carelessness may lead to a loss.

However, now that they have seen Huang Bai's attitude towards making movies, they also understand a little bit that Huang Bai's success is not accidental.

Although Huang Bai said that they would spend money to make movies regardless of the cost, if they pay careful attention, then they can see that the money is also smashed, not indiscriminately, but everything is also spent to achieve the best movie effect.

Let's just say that almost every amount of money is smashed where it should be, and it is not for no purpose to throw money.

It's like inviting so many extras to film, and they are willing to spend money to invite them to film, this is because they have requirements for them, even if it is a passerby, Huang Bai will also have requirements for them, requiring them to substitute the plot background of the movie when playing that passerby, and to take every moment seriously when they are passers-by. In the case of playing this passerby well, they are allowed to have a free performance.

Of course, the premise of everything is also to achieve a better movie effect.

For example, photographing a passer-by in a panic to avoid a sudden wind, or to avoid a sudden killing, etc., let them also think about what their first reaction would be and what kind of dynamics they should have if they were the people who lived at that time. This includes their character expressions, movements, and more.

Only in this way can the background characters in the movie be brought to life, and the audience can feel that the world in the movie is real at a glance, and everyone in it is also a vivid and living person.

In this way, the whole movie will feel different, it will feel vivid and real.

For example, some of the group performances performed well.

When there was a sudden military disaster, some of them instinctively ran for their lives and looked for a place to hide. And some people are desperate for their money and only think about how to keep their possessions. Also, some people will desperately protect their wives and children and their relatives.

In this way, the scenes in the movie seem to be a little messy, but everyone, they all have to do the right thing.

At this time, no one deliberately looks at the camera, just as if they are really living in such a world.

In many movies, sometimes it really makes people speechless.

For example, when filming some tense and exciting fight scenes, when the people and horses on both sides are rushing to kill each other, some of them are still rushing, and they are talking to each other and laughing. This special bayonet is red, and he is talking and laughing with a relaxed expression, and then when fighting, he is so casually gesturing, he can't see that it is a life-and-death struggle.

In this case, it is very likely that the entire movie scene will be ruined by some seemingly unimportant group performance.

Look at Zhou Xingxing's movies, sometimes they are really meticulous, and some seemingly unimportant group roles are also required to be played well.

Group performances can be requisitioned for free, and the group performances in many movies are also temporarily requisitioned for free, so that they can fill the number. Anyway, it's just an event, so that some idlers can participate in and have fun, and they don't have to pay anything.

In fact, many people are also willing to help, but if they are not invited by spending money, then they will definitely not listen to the arrangements of the crew, at least they will not cooperate too seriously. They're just greedy to get involved and have fun, they're free to help, and if they still have a lot of requirements for them and make them feel uncomfortable, then they won't do it.

However, it is different for Huang Bai to pay for it directly, and it is natural to use money to do things and eliminate disasters for others. If you take the money, then you have to do what you are asked to do.

That's why I was able to make the movie so well.

Before filming this scene, at the request of Huang Bai, the crew took the trouble to prepare for the start of filming, so many group performances also need to spend a lot of time to talk to them, so that after they start filming, they must pay attention to how to perform.

These are really things they have never seen before.

When they make movies, where will they care about those group performances? Don't talk about group performances, even those inconspicuous tricks, those supporting roles, how well they act, they don't care too much. The main thing is to let the hero and heroine shoot well.

This is also the main reason why their movies are not popular.

As the so-called safflower still needs green leaves to set off, the supporting roles around the hero and heroine failed to play well, so how can they bring out the good of the hero and heroine?

The movie itself is acted, fake.

However, the movie itself has vitality.

And the vitality of the movie is actually endowed by all the characters in it.

In the movie, whether it is the leading role, the supporting role, or the group performance, only if they are all played vividly and vividly, then the world in the movie can come alive and have the vitality of the movie itself.

For investors, the vitality of the movie is actually equivalent to the box office and their wealth.

A movie is regarded as a classic, has been passed down for a long time, and can make people never get tired of watching it, and it will always be revisited for a long time. The characters, lines, and even props in the movie will also be taken out from time to time for people to discuss, imitate, and worship.

These are the embodiment of the tenacious vitality of the film.

Therefore, Huang Bai really starts from the perspective of how to give life to the movie, and strives to build the world of each movie well, so that every person, every thing, grass and tree in it can come to life.

The bosses of those entertainment companies, after they saw how Cork made and shot movies this time, they were also very touched, and they really admired Cork.

However, this is also the same thing.

If they were really asked to do the same thing, they would definitely not do it.

Because there are some things, it doesn't mean that you will be able to succeed if you spend money.

They talked to Huang Bai, and Huang Bai also made it clear that he was really pure, and he would not think about how much money he would make for himself after making a good movie, and he would not deliberately consider the box office results of the movie. In other words, even if no one goes to watch the movie after it is released, it doesn't matter if the movie doesn't earn a penny back. If you throw the money out and do a good job in the movie with your heart, then whether you will lose or make money when the time comes, this will be left to God.

In other words, Huang Bai's original intention was not to make money from the beginning.

But Huang Bai also said that he believes that the vision of the masses is bright, and he only needs to do a good job of the movie with his heart, so whether it looks good or not is evaluated by the audience, and if they like it, it proves that the movie is well-made. If you don't like it, then it's your own problem. In this way, in the end, even if it is really bloodless, Huang Bai also admits it.

In their eyes, this seems to be no different from gambling.

So, the question also comes.

What kind of way does a movie have to be to be considered a good movie?

I really can't explain this clearly.

Many well-known directors, the movies they have made, they themselves think they are the best. However, if this is put in the film market, the results may be so-so.

After this has been tested by the masses, they will also realize their own shortcomings and realize that they can do better.

This means that a movie, in fact, the creators don't know what to do best.

After all, it's original, they think it's good, and this is just their personal thinking. It is not representative of the masses.

So, that's the biggest problem.

They really don't know what to do what the masses think is good, acceptable to the masses, and willing to pay for it.

This really has to say about the screenwriter of the movie.

Whether a movie is good or not, he really pays attention to the skills of the film screenwriter, he can create a movie story, and he also has to tell the movie story well.

It takes inspiration.

The scene shots in the movie, the performances of each actor and the lines, you also need to think about how to attract people.

Then, it's up to the director's ability to direct.

How to shoot a story and how to act is not the screenwriter, but the director.

What the screenwriter thinks needs to be executed and filmed through the director.

Therefore, if the director's directing ability is not enough, then no matter how good the screenwriting story is, it will be in vain.

But even if you have these excellent conditions, what about actors? Actors need the right actors, and they need actors who can really play the characters in the play better. This includes the actor's image, acting skills, etc.

In many movies, it is really difficult for the image of the actor to fit the role of the movie. When the audience looks at this person playing this role, they will always have an awkward feeling when they look at it, in short, it is unpleasant to see this person.

Such an audience's emotional perception is real.

There are actors who are really not very suitable for a certain role.

Or let's put it this way, some actors, they are born to be supporting roles, if they are allowed to play the leading role, then the ghost will be watched.

Those who play the protagonist don't necessarily need to use small fresh meat to act, and they don't necessarily all have to be handsome and cool. However, this image and appearance, it really needs to be passable. At least, when it appears in the movie, the audience will not feel disgusted when they see it for the first time, so that the audience can have the desire to continue watching, otherwise, this time it will be annoying, so how can you watch it again?

For example, in the original world of Cork, there was another remake of Jin Daxia's Tianlong Babu martial arts series.

This is special, let's not talk about what kind of fairy sister is the first in casting, but Ha Han invited an actor from the stick country to play the important protagonist Duan Yu.

As a result, it was naturally a farce, and there was really no consistency with the original, after the broadcast, there was a lot of scolding, and the scolding was raging at that time, so that this drama had to be taken off the shelves and off the air.

That's really self-defeating.

If you say that the acting is good, it's okay, but what the hell is it doing? Is there acting? Is there a temperament? was originally the most popular role among the general public, but it has become the most hated role by the masses, what else is this playing? What to play?

Well, let's go back to the current entertainment companies in the Dragon Kingdom, in addition to the above.

That is, there must be a good movie script, a good director, and a good actor.

With all this, there needs to be enough investment, an investment like Cork at any cost, so that they can have the possibility of achieving such great success as Cork.

Yes, that's possible.

Under such circumstances, how can they spend money to make movies regardless of the cost?

At present, their minds are actually to learn more about the success of Cork, and then see if they can cooperate with Cork and do it together.

Because of the cork for them, they dare to let it go like that.

Now, they prefer to follow behind the cork, even if they can't eat meat, it's good to drink soup.

Huang Bai didn't care about them, this time it was his temporary shooting plan, and it was really difficult to have more time to talk to them about cooperation at this time.

Therefore, the current cooperation is at most to invite suitable artists and stars under their entertainment companies to play some roles, so that they can participate in the production of the film in the name of their company. However, in terms of the box office of the movie in the future, there will be no share for them.

Of course, those artists and stars who are invited, how much should they be paid, Huang Bai will naturally do things according to the rules, and there is no problem even if they can pay a little premium. However, if their company wants to forcibly intervene and get a part of the film dividends, it is unlikely.

Here, the old man Li Lao from the cultural department of the Dragon Kingdom, he came to find Huang Bai on the day of Huang Bai's start, in addition to saying those things, in fact, there is also a little hidden intention to support Huang Bai.

With his appearance, even the largest Shenlong Entertainment Company like Longjing didn't dare to look too ugly, and they didn't dare to propose to participate in the investment in the movie Cork anymore, and they really didn't dare to mention it again if they wanted to get the dividends of the investment share.

In some cases, in fact, there are really various industries, not just the entertainment industry.

That is, in the industry, some people have made certain achievements, and the projects carried out today can be said to be basically money-making projects.

In such a situation, if the individual or company in charge of the project does not have a strong enough background, then it is very likely that some people will be robbed of the knife to seek the fruits of his labor and take his money-making project for himself.

Huang Bai's current movies really don't fail, and every film is a box office hit. This is also tantamount to making it clear that Cork's movies are profitable.

In a situation like this, who wouldn't want to get involved?

In order to get the three major entertainment award ceremonies up, Huang Bai had to promise to cooperate with other entertainment companies.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Bai has also won the support of the Dragon Kingdom government, so that many people want to open their mouths wide to bite the mythical entertainment, but at this time, they don't dare to say it easily.

In this way, Cork has a considerable dominance.

Cooperation is not impossible, but it depends on your own mood and your own decisions.

Some film works that they don't really want to make can be handed over to them to shoot and produce, and they need to shoot according to their own requirements, so that Huang Bai can barely cover for them, basically ensuring that they will not lose money.

However, if the movies they make do not meet their own requirements, then they can't make money if they want to, then it will be their own problem, and it has nothing to do with them.

It is precisely for this reason that Huang Bai now chooses to cooperate with him, and when he hands over the movie script to them for production, he first depends on the qualifications of their entertainment company.

If it is an entertainment company with strong capital, then give them some big-budget movies and let them shoot and produce them as required. If they don't dare to invest so much in production, then they will be embarrassed, they won't even have the opportunity to cooperate with themselves, and the movie script will be handed over to another entertainment company that is willing to spend a lot of money to produce it.

And some entertainment companies that do have good strength, but do not have too much capital, then Huang Bai will give them some blockbuster movie scripts that they can afford to produce at a lower cost. So that they can eat a bite of meat from it.

It's like the cooperation with Huang Baiyi in Jinghua City.

But all the prerequisites, this must have a certain relationship with themselves, and this relationship is good, they can be called friends, so Huang Bai will think about them so much, and is willing to give them the opportunity to eat meat.

Huang Bai can really dominate many things now, and he will not be too passively coerced by others.

At the moment, Cork will not be in a hurry to hand over the project to others.

After all, the three major entertainment award ceremonies are still in progress, and none of them have really been held yet.

Therefore, it is equivalent to the inspection period of major entertainment companies.

When the three major entertainment award ceremonies come to a truly perfect end, Huang Bai will announce the film projects with other entertainment companies one by one.

It depends on whether those entertainment companies know how to behave.
