Chapter 247. Detonate the topic [ask for subscription]

The script of a movie is difficult to say, and easy to say.

The first is a purely original plot.

This is very difficult, because there are so many routines in total, and the predecessors have basically written almost, you have to write logically, there can be no bugs and strong dramatic conflicts, such a script needs very good inspiration in the early stage, and it needs to keep grinding bugs in the later stage, and the cycle is really long.

The second is to adapt the plot, the original book is adapted, and the real event is adapted, because the movie needs to create a sense of dramatic conflict, so it needs to recreate the original work and the original event.

This is not simple, it is not a simple thing to tell a complete story in a short period of time, not to mention that it is difficult to adapt wonderfully and adapt dramatic conflicts to drive the audience's emotions.

Sun Yi tried to be original, but after two days, a lot of hair fell out, but the script still made no progress.

It can't be said that there is none, but he is not very satisfied.

He now realizes that it is no wonder that the most frequently mentioned sentence in the entire director circle is that it is difficult to find a book.

Since the original is not good, Sun Yi began to try to adapt, but just when he was about to start, a sudden incident once again pushed him to the forefront.

It turned out that in the two days when he was in retreat to write the script, what happened to him and director Lu Chuan at the jury symposium of this year's Beijing University Student Film Festival has been spread by various media.

And there are more and more versions.

The more reliable ones are:

"Two outstanding young directors in China had a dispute at the symposium because of their different views on a movie, and director Lu Chuan criticized director Sun Yi for the lack of artistic embodiment of the movie "Fake Marriage", and director Sun Yi gave a strong response.

This kind of media is mainly based on "Nandu Entertainment", which interviewed Sun Yi before, and the content of the report is quite objective, while some other tabloids don't care so much.

How exciting, how to attract attention, how to come, without any regard for logic.

What" The two fought at the symposium over the issue of the movie. ”

It was even reported that "two young directors are jealous because of an actress."

It really made fans across the country eat a wave of big melons.

Seeing that things were out of control, the organizing committee of the University Film Festival had to stand up and refute the rumors, and explained what happened that day in a matter-of-fact manner.

However, the wording is very euphemistic, saying that Sun Yi and Lu Chuan had a friendly exchange on the issue of treating movies.

However, the heat of the matter did not drop because of this, and there was no way, Sun Yi could only stop the creation of the script and come forward to hold a press conference.

"Director Sun Yi, on the day of the symposium, did you really have a dispute with Director Lu Chuan?"

"I can't talk about disputes, we are both directors, and we have our own unique testimonies about movies, of course we exchanged ideas after we met, and we may be more serious about each other, so when we are outsiders, it's like a dispute."

In the face of the media, Sun Yi also avoided the important and trivialized.

He thought, this is not a nice thing, it can't be said that the two of them really almost did it directly.

Sun Yi's answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters in the audience, and he continued to ask:

"But according to Director Lu Chuan, he really thinks that your movie "Fake Marriage" has no artistic connotation, so he couldn't help but put forward his own opinions."

"This journalist friend, no matter what Director Lu Chuan says, I want to say yes, this argument is fundamentally wrong, as the director of the movie, the movie "Fake Marriage" is completely a commercial production, she pursues the market value of the box office and its derivatives, and aims at the recognition of consumers, that is, the majority of fans."

"What director Lu Chuan is talking about is art films, most of which are esoteric themes such as exploring philosophy and excavating human nature, and the shooting techniques are eclectic, aiming for the recognition of industry insiders."

"Is there any comparison between the two?"

The topic was relatively professional, and the reporters in the audience were not easy to refute, so they had to ask another question.

"Then may I ask Director Sun Yi, there is an inside source that you will shoot a love-themed short film for the College Student Film Festival at the same time as Director Lu Chuan as the opening film of the film festival, is there any meaning to compete with this move."

Before Rao is press conference, Sun Yi was prepared in his heart, and he was also very shocked at the moment.

The whole thing was really investigated by these reporters, but even so, he couldn't admit it.

You can be arrogant, but you can't be arrogant.

"It's inconvenient for me to answer this question, the opening short film was filmed at the invitation of the organizing committee, as for what kind of competition, I can only say that the movie is for the audience to see and evaluate."

Seeing that there were still many reporters below who raised their hands and were ready to ask questions, Sun Yi felt that he couldn't say more about this matter, so he simply made a final speech.

"Okay, that's all for today's press conference, and I'll say one thing at the end."

"Originally, I was recommended by the school to be a student judge of this college student film festival, but because I have my own works to participate in the selection at the same time, although the organizer has no relevant requirements for this, I personally decided to resign as a student judge of this film festival out of suspicion."

This is what Sun Yi discussed with Yang Fan before the press conference, with the current level of interest in this matter from the media, there will definitely be people who will bring it to this rhythm, it is better to withdraw directly, seal this loophole in advance, and let someone turn it out again.

After the press conference, Sun Yi and Yang Fan returned to the company to complain while drinking tea.

"Do you think these reporters have nothing to do, it's not a big deal, this one by one."

Yang Fan took out a handful of tea leaves from the tea box and put them in the teapot. Then, cover the teapot with the lid of the pot, pick up the boiling water and rinse the tea leaves, and smile at Sun Yi while rushing:

"I don't know how popular you are now, you have a topic on your body, reporter, don't you just rely on this to eat. Besides, that's a good thing. ”

"A good thing?"

Sun Yi put down the teacup and asked with some doubts.

"Well, you've been studying the script for the past two days, and you don't have time to pay attention, taking advantage of this media hype, the box office trend of "Fake Marriage" is rising against the trend." As he spoke, he opened his palm and gestured towards Sun Yi.

"The single-day income is 5 million, and in two days, the box office income is 10 million, and the total box office has reached 190 million, if nothing else, the final box office income of our movie will definitely be more than 200 million, do you say this hype is worth it."

If so, it's a real surprise.

Since the commercialization of Chinese films began in 02, the artistic and commercial disputes about films have gradually intensified in the entire film industry.

The new generation of filmmakers and some filmmakers who have seen the situation clearly and have the courage to open up have started to try to commercialize films, but there are still a considerable number of old qualifications who still stubbornly cling to the incompleteness, believing that only art films are real films, and commercial films are garbage in their eyes.

This time, the dispute between Sun Yi and Lu Chuan at the symposium was like a fuse, directly putting the dispute between Chinese film business and art on the table, which attracted widespread attention, and many audiences who had never had the movie "Fake Marriage" before also entered the cinema under the trend of curiosity.

This is what caused the box office of the movie to have a strange reversal in the last week of its release.
