Chapter 223: Movie Themes

A few days after the official document dedicated to supporting the film industry was issued, the entire film and television industry took action.

All of a sudden, major directors began to look for traditional culture as the theme of their films, just to be able to get this wave of official benefits.

In a drama center in Shengtian, several theater actors with various colors of ink on their faces are performing on the stage.

Nowadays, there are not many grass stage teams like this, and it is difficult to see a drama performance every week, and all the famous names are in the past.

There are basically no young people who are still willing to go on stage.

This line of work is too hard, I have to hang my throat and pull ligaments since I was a child, and my future is also worrying, how can anyone be willing to engage in a line of work now.

From this point, it can be seen that it will be a matter of time before the decline of major local dramas in the future.

"Huh? Director Wang didn't expect you to come too? ”

As soon as Director Wang, who was wearing a peaked cap, sat down, he heard the sound of greeting from behind.

Director Wang was stunned for a moment, looked back, and was immediately happy.

"Isn't this Director Zhong Da and Director Qian Da? Yo! What a coincidence, you also came here to collect materials? ”

Director Zhong is a director in the Jiuding era, although his fame is not as big as Director Cheng, but he has also made several masterpieces, and he is at the peak of his career in the prime of life, of course, he wants to go further.

And Director Qian doesn't need to be introduced, "Let the Bullets Fly" co-produced with Director Wang last year made the two of them very popular.

"It seems that the three of us want to go together, and we all want to start with this drama." Director Zhong crossed Erlang's legs, took a cup of tea from the table next to him with one hand, gently opened the lid and blew hot air, looking very skilled.

Director Wang shook his head and said: "Traditional culture is more unconventional here, like Jianghu martial arts or something, it has already been filmed, and it is not suitable."

The other two nodded their heads in agreement.

I thought that I only thought of starting with the drama team, but I didn't expect that there were still many capable people in Sheng Tian's director circle.

Director Wang retracted his head and stopped talking.

He looked around at the surrounding audience and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Today's theatrical performances have declined to a terrible level, and there are only more than ten audiences around it, except for the three directors who came to draw materials.

And these audiences are still mainly middle-aged and elderly, and not a single young person can see it.

Seeing this audience market, Director Wang is also a little unconfident, and whether it is appropriate to take material from the drama aspect.

But no matter what, it's coming, and you can only read it hard, and it's best if you can get some inspiration, and if you don't have inspiration, you can continue to look for it from other aspects.

After all, you can't rush to make a movie, and a time-consuming movie is not necessarily good, but a good work must be made by slow work and meticulous work.

After watching the whole theatrical performance, the three directors who came here to draw materials were silent and did not express their opinions.

They think in their hearts whether there is any possibility to cut into the theme of drama.

If it is really filmed, will the audience accept it?

With these questions in mind, the three directors are thinking carefully.

...

In addition to drama, many directors of Sheng Tian have also begun to look for the possibility of other themes.

For example, calligraphy, ancient myths and legends, all kinds of allusions, etc...

Of course, martial arts have always been one of the enduring genres.

There are also a considerable number of people who choose the theme of martial arts, but although this theme is classic, it is not very favorable.

Because there are so many shots, the things that can be shot have long been filmed, and I can't think of anything new if I want to break my head.

A subsidiary of Galaxy, Xinghai Entertainment.

Shen Feng came to the company and gathered all the people in the film production department.

The staff who have been idle since the beginning of the year, at least the expression on their faces is very exciting.

Is Director Shen finally going to start making movies?

During this time, the people in the music department made a lot of money, and a "Qili Xiang" album made the reputation of the scoring company out.

In the past few months, we have also received several overseas orders, not to mention domestic orders.

On the other hand, their film and television department has always been in a state where no one cares.

They are not people who rely on a basic salary to eat, so they naturally want to be busy, so that they can earn more.

"It's all here, so I'll make a long story short." Shen Feng looked around, and the people who should come were all due, and continued:

"I already have a script here, called "Kung Fu", and it just so happens that the official is also promoting traditional cultural movies, so let's take this opportunity to prepare!"

When those staff members heard that Shen Feng had a new script, their faces were overjoyed, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, their faces stiffened slightly.

"Kung Fu? Director Shen, there are already a lot of martial arts scenes in the market at present, and this theme may not be so popular. ”

This is actually a bit euphemistic, you must know that big directors like Director Wang are looking for new themes, which shows that the current market for martial arts dramas is not optimistic.

Hearing this, Shen Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Old-fashioned subject matter? The market is not optimistic?

But what does this have to do with the "Kung Fu" he wants to film? This movie is not a traditional martial arts scene!

"Well, I know, but my new script is different, I'm confident!"

It's not that you have confidence in yourself, but that you have confidence in Xingye!

This nonsensical comedy has a lot of kung fu elements, but compared with traditional martial arts films, it can be said that it is very different.

Hearing Shen Feng's words, several other staff members looked at each other, wanting to say something more, but they didn't know how to persuade them.

There is no way, after all, the original intention of Xinghai was to give Shen Feng a good platform to show his strengths.

Now the music department is in full swing, but their film and television department has not yet opened.

Director Shen finally came up with a new idea, and his determination was still very firm, and they were afraid that they couldn't reverse it if they wanted to.

I can only prepare for it!

The investment should be invested, the report should be filed, and the official announcement should be announced.

As the staff of the film and television department left their offices, Shen Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

It seems that everyone's confidence is not much, but there is no way, after all, his qualifications in the film and television industry are still very shallow, and he can't convince everyone at the first time.

Who has only one work to their name?

And the work under his name was still shot by Director Wang and Director Qian, and he is just a screenwriter, so it's normal for everyone to be unconvinced.

"The script is finalized, then it's time to find actors!"

Shen Feng crossed his hands, the special effects of this movie fell second, and he would not eat the level of the special effects artist.

But the actor is the real soul, if you can't play that taste, the nonsensical effect will be greatly reduced.

"It's time to use this missing person pointer!"
