Dunhuang's "Female Director Cooperation Plan" did not make a big splash, but it was quickly noticed by insiders.

This is also normal, at the moment, Dunhuang is the focus inside and outside the circle!

It's just that after noticing Dunhuang's action, the first reaction of most insiders is not attention, nor ridicule, but ...... I don't understand.

You know, what kind of environment is it now-

"Charlotte's Troubles" is so popular that it makes everyone feel that the prosperous era of the film market is really coming!

A number of small and medium-sized film companies are becoming more and more excited, and just a few years later, they announced the launch of new production plans one after another, and a considerable part of them are focused on small-budget productions such as comedies and youth films.

The Big Five are relatively stable, and the production plan is still dominated by commercial productions. However, because of the explosion of "Charlotte's Troubles", more capital has been driven to invest in the Chinese entertainment industry, so that the Big Five are busy preparing more projects to attract laymen's funds.

In this case, what kind of incompatible "support for female directors plan" does Dunhuang have......

The title of the picture? Turly?

After the New Year, Song Zhicheng, who is ready to officially start the shooting of a new film, thinks that it is the former.

"It's nothing more than trying to expand Dunhuang's influence in the circle by currying favor with female creators."

Because Song Zhicheng has been more inclined to shoot art films since his debut, he has a relatively good understanding of the group of female directors who are also inclined to make art films.

Don't look at their overall influence, but if a company can gain their favor, its voice in the industry will inevitably become more powerful.

He even felt that Dunhuang's move was mainly to expand his voice in the art circle, and then prepare for the future awards.

Hou Mai, the boss of Eastern Pictures, nodded: "I guess so." ”

If you want to say that it is a profit, the box office appeal of the female director group is not large, otherwise it will not be Dunhuang's turn to "pick up the leak".

As Song Zhicheng said: "Women will use emotions to construct a relationship with the world, to understand the world and their own sense of existence; Men tend to see the world from a grander, more externalized and more rational perspective, which is a different way of thinking; This leads to the fact that the works directed by the former will never be as popular as the latter, and this gap is innate. ”

"After all, there are still rich and capricious!"

To be honest, Hou Mai is extremely envious of this.

——A "Charlotte Troubles" may bring more income to Dunhuang than Eastern Pictures has earned in a hard year.

Although there are many film companies in the circle, there are not many who have the ability and financial resources to be "willful" in addition to maintaining their main business, except for the Big Five.

Dunhuang is one of them.

This allows it to make money while patiently expanding its influence.

And this kind of "win twice" is exactly what Houmai is pursuing......

He couldn't help but sigh,

"I don't know when Eastern Pictures will be able to make a lucrative movie like "Charlotte"!"

Thinking of this, his gaze turned around on Song Zhicheng.

Probably, only when Song Zhicheng fully grows up will it be his turn to be proud.

- He knows that "Charlotte" is about to break one billion, and it is not without shock to Song Zhicheng, who likes to make art films.

In the past, others took hundreds of millions of box office at most; Song Zhicheng won tens of millions to hundreds of millions of box office, and he could also win awards, and his compulsion may be a little higher.

Now, when the box office reaches the level of one billion, the latter's results at the box office are completely insufficient.

Hou Mai was happy to see Dunhuang put more pressure on Song Zhicheng.

is also a second-tier studio, and he can also understand why Dunhuang likes to "toss".

——Only by constantly "tossing" and trying new fields can it be possible to break through the encirclement of the top five.

It's just that the eastern film industry has a small business, so it's better to let Dunhuang go to the thunder in front first.

Anyway, it's always good scars, forget the pain, and happily break the conventions in the circle, and then go up and down.

……

There are not a few people in the circle who are similar to Hou Mai who watch the excitement.

Of course, some people feel that with Wang Wei's script as the foundation, female directors can still make a difference in the main creative positions of youth films, comedies and romance films.

However, Director He Wenying is not waiting for Wang Wei's script, many of them actually just need an investment opportunity.

The new label is still in preparation, and director He Wenying sent the script that had already been written to Shen Zhenyi.

This is a script that breaks the boundaries of the subject matter of female directors in the conventional sense -

It's not a wind and snow, nor a trivial family, but a sci-fi film and horror film with a big heroine fighting zombies!

He Wenying seems to project her anger at being treated unfairly by the industry onto the zombies, and the heroine in the play, who is more courageous and stronger than men, kills all sides, showing the ultimate charm of women.

"There are a lot of special effects production required, no wonder it requires a budget of 50 million."

After reading the script, Shen Zhenyi looked up at the female director opposite.

"Yes."

He Wenying's face was obviously a little nervous.

"You should have voted for other companies before, right? None of them fancied!? ”

"This ......"

He Wenying paused and explained,

"There are still many people who are more optimistic about the creativity of this script, but they either want to replace the heroine with the male lead, or they refuse to let me direct such a big investment project, so they ......"

"For most companies in the industry, innovation means danger!" Shen Zhenyi nodded knowingly.

Such a monster fighting movie with a small investment, with a completely female protagonist, is a big innovation, but it also greatly affects the market prospect forecast of this project.

Shen Zhenyi said it so bluntly, but He Wenying didn't know what to say.

Because what she said was a template response that other companies had rejected.

A lot of data shows that the market doesn't seem to be so interested in women fighting monsters -

Guys don't like to see girls who are too good at fighting, and girls – yes, most girls don't seem to like to see girls fight either, they prefer to see girls in love, girls in fancy clothes, and girls talking about careers, families, and children......

Even her pro-feminist agent euphemistically said-

If it's an action movie, women spend most of their time maintaining a beautiful image, starring in a pleasing vase, but showing their grandeur at critical moments, cleanly solving the bad guys, and not becoming a man, the burden of the protagonist, "That's enough." ”

He Wenying didn't know if Shen Zhenyi thought the same way, but she still wanted to give it a try.

If the final result is still refusal, then she can only give up the script for the time being.

After all, a commercial film, no matter how radical the creator's ideas are, the last thing it can do is go against everyone's imagination.

Fortunately, this time she got a positive response.

Shen Zhenyi didn't think this film was unpleasant, but thought it was amazing-

"It's really cool to use this movie of a girl fighting zombies as the pioneering work of our new company!"
