Chapter Seventy-Six: Do It Yourself! (1/4)
Shen Xudong has no plans to be a director for the time being...
It's true!
Otherwise, "Outstanding Citizen", he would have recommended himself as a director!
In fact, for about 16 years, throwing a brick near BJ Gaobeidian, 3 out of 10 people were directors, and there were one or two producers, one or two actors, and so on.
It's not difficult to be a director, as long as you can get money, you can be a director.
Of course, it's hard to connect with the audience!
Speaking of the audience... The fifth generation, including the sixth generation, is influenced by art films, and theoretically should also include film critics who are middle-aged and above.
So, they are entangled in formalism, expressionism, postmodernism, avant-garde, new reality, new wave... Criticizing reality in a different position, analyzing the nation, and enjoying a special status without competition!
There was really no competition, and it was a privilege to make movies in those days!
Later, after the expansion of the theater chain and the introduction of Hollywood, young ordinary audiences came into contact with Hollywood movies.
Hollywood is modeled, how to create conflicts, how to set the climax, these are all verified and audience analysis surveys, can just reach the audience dopamine secretion threshold...
The first Hollywood blockbuster is "The End of the World", starring Harrison Ford and a typical commercial film produced by Warner...
The train hit the bus and directly stunned the mainland audience,, this horse is a movie!
The audience is holding Haolaiwu to benchmark domestic films.
"The Great Wall" failed because it was a thoroughly second-rate Hollywood movie.
Ah Mou was also very angry when he mentioned it afterwards, because this project was built according to the Hollywood model, and the film was dominated by the screenwriter and producer.
But if you give Ah Mou, Yinshi Xiaodaren, Jia Zhangke, including Wang Xiaoshuai, the fifth and sixth generations of directors enough funds and dominance, can they create a phenomenal blockbuster movie?
Before this year's Spring Festival, it was generally believed that it could not be done.
Because it is difficult for them to understand and integrate into the industrial process of Hollywood.
The new generation of directors does not have this kind of trouble, Wu Jing, Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan, etc., most of them have studied in Haolaiwu with the support of the government, and they can be used by Haolaiwu without any obstacles.
Dozens of screenwriters competitively write scripts and refill them, and use a gradually mature industrial process, which can make the film look quite good.
Naturally, it can also be a big seller...
Of course, all of this was crushed by this year's Spring Festival file "Manzi" - top director + top Mesozoic comedian + traffic star, a small-cost script to kill a comedy movie, all the money was spent on the salary, and it was easily filmed for 51 days, there was no difficulty at all, and I made money standing up!
In comparison, "The Wandering Earth 2" is a der!
Here is a suggestion to Director Guo Fan, if he still wants his directorial career to create more brilliance, what he needs to do now is to get rid of his film industry team, special effects team, science team, screenwriter setting team, art team, post-production team, etc.
These people are worthless for the future of Chinese cinema...
"The Chinese people" have used the box office to give these filmmakers who are good at learning to come to the dock a solemn declaration: "We audiences" do not eat your set!
What film industrialization? Heavy industry, standardization?
The 'audience' doesn't love it!
From now on, the days when science fiction directors want to have a science fiction setting, form a film industry team, and create a real science fiction world can harvest the box office from the land of China are gone!
I advise Guo Fan, Da Liu, Wu Jing, including the majority of science fiction fans, to recognize the situation, give up illusions, and ask themselves in the face of the mighty and unstoppable historical trend: "The 'people' like to hear it, you don't like it, how old are you?" ”
That's it, and a bunch of fans left messages 'I choose hope', you choose a Der, what right do you have to choose?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was the first, the word of mouth was the first, and the box office fell by 22% on the second day of the Lunar New Year...
(Dog's head!) )
(I'm sarcastic...) I'm an ally)
Pull it back, all in all, Shen Xudong has no intention of being a director!
At least not for the time being...
Therefore, Director Tian Zhuangzhuang's proposal was directly rejected by him: "Mr. Tian, I am still a student, and it takes at least ten months for a movie to be filmed and released... I still have to go to school~"
The reason for this is impeccable!
But Tian Zhuangzhuang is no longer interested...
Because Shen Xudong has already said it completely, if you shoot it, it will be Shen Xudong's work!
This is no problem for ordinary directors, but for Tian Zhuangzhuang, it is simply an insult!
It's not your own work, but you want to direct it?
This is an insult to him ...
“… Okay, in that case, forget it..."
Shen Xudong was about to leave, but Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly said: "I am a graduate tutor at Nortel... directing the profession..."
“… But I'm a Chinese opera! ”
"Have you ever been a film director in the Chinese opera director's major?" Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled: "If you want to learn to direct, you can come to Nortel to find me!" ”
“… Hmm..."
……
How to say it, the director of Chinese opera really has no achievements in film!
The reason is quite simple, there is no film director department in Chinese opera, and the director department of Chinese opera is to train drama directors, not for the big screen.
Therefore, the big-level directors in the drama industry are all Chinese opera...
In addition, Nortel, the specifications of Chinese opera are similar to those of Peking University and Minzu University of China, they are all built by the central government, and Shanghai Opera was built by Shanghai and the Ministry of Education...
Therefore, Nortel and Chinese opera are really not the difference between the local and the central...
However, if Shen Xudong is admitted to graduate school after graduation, he really wants to study directing, and then apply for Nortel's Tian Zhuangzhuang, then... It is estimated that the teacher will be angry!
Shen Xudong actually doesn't like Nortel very much - there is a shouting wheat system, well, in fact, it is not, it is MC Tianyou who went to a refresher class...
That's pretty speechless...
It's too embarrassing, BJ Film Academy is a holy place for learning to cultivate showbiz talents...
I went back to the dormitory and talked to a few people, and they... There was no reaction, and they were busy arranging actors for "The Best Family"!
Uh, Shen Xudong asked Gao Fenfen to send the actress's information and photos, and then look at the pictures to select people...
Mainly give it to the three brothers to choose and let them have a good time.
In fact, the protagonist has been determined, Zeng Li, Li Xiaoran, Qin Lan, Tang Yan, Yan Danchen, Jiang Xin, Yang Xiaomi - according to the new line of corresponding characters...
It's just a dry addiction for them.
That's also very enjoyable, this feeling of being in control of other people's destinies...
Therefore, Tian Zhuangzhuang's refusal to be the director of "The Aviator", they don't care at all!
However, when Shen Xudong said, "I'm going to find a director myself, and then invest in "The Aviator", a group of people immediately persuaded him to be cautious...
