Chapter 83 Award Winning Works (12/21
(I was almost crying, and a group of people said that they were harmonious, but it didn't affect it...)
At the Xishan Club, Li Ming told Xiao Ma what happened recently, and then complained: "I really didn't expect that no one would watch Zhang Zhiliang's movies!"
Zhang Zhiliang still has a reputation. Otherwise, how could he dare to give it to him if he had such a big investment in "Mo Gong"?
"Actually, the effect of a big director is not as obvious as before... Audiences either watch Hollywood blockbusters or support domestic high-quality films. Can the so-called directors of Hong Kong and Taiwan University live a big Hollywood?"
Zhong Lifang poured Li Ming a cup of tea and asked in confusion: "Didn't we say before that Xiaoma only made low- and medium-cost investments of 5 million to 15 million?"
"We spent 18 million on the shoulders, not much..."
18 million is not much, Big Dog Brother is really inflated...
Without worrying about this, Zhong Lifang continued to ask: "It's not this movie, I mean director Wu's "1949"..."
"Now it's changed its name to "Taiping Wheel"!"
Li Ming smiled bitterly: "This is the condition he agreed to sign Xiaoma!"
"Director Wu wants to do a work with a broad vision. He feels that the current Chinese films are basically at the level of Hollywood, both in terms of shooting methods and production techniques, but they have not resonated internationally in terms of subject matter selection and expression methods."
"He wants to do works of Western skills + Eastern spirit!"
"The Taiping Wheel is very consistent with his requirements. He wants to use the changes in his individual life, combined with the sinking of the Taiping Wheel at this important time node in 1949, and reflect the times with the turning point of the fate of individual characters, thus creating a tragic song of the times. I think there is no problem with his conception!"
In order to convince Zhong Lifang, or to convince herself, Li Ming gave an example: "Spielberg's "Saving the Soldier Ryan" also uses several individual soldiers to reflect the humanistic concept of the US government "to attach importance to every individual soldier and respect every life in the war."
Zhong Lifang still couldn't understand: "But Xiaoma invested 200 million!"
"This is a big investment in itself!"
“…I’m not optimistic about this investment!”
"Why?"
"Director Wu's vision limitations make him unable to handle such a grand narrative!"
"But this is the condition that he promised to sign Xiaoma. You also know that Xiaoma must sign several directors if she wants to go public..."
"…Okay," Zhong Lifang nodded.
Wu Baige's reputation can still be exchanged for a little appeal, at least at this stage...
Xiaoma wants to go public and join a few big directors. Wu Baige is indeed one of the best choices at this stage...
Li Ming got to the topic: "Lifang, can you tell me what you are watching when you invest in movies?"
"It depends on the script..."
"…Then how do you make every piece profitable?"
Zhong Lifang hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "I don't know how to make a profit. Anyway, we try not to use big stars in production. We try to choose a good schedule when publishing, and then hand it over to the market..."
"No secret?"
"There is really no secret... If so, it should be that all our projects were nodded by Lu Xiaoran, but he didn't care much about the specific production..."
Li Ming was even more confused...
After thinking about it, Zhong Lifang said again: "There is another point, Orange's group of people work together. Every time a movie is released, everyone will gather together to work together..."
"The same goes for pony!"
"…If Xiaoma was the same, Ning Hao wouldn't leave!"
Embarrassing...
...
Every director has his lifelong dream.
For example, director Hu Jinquan wanted to film "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" all his life, but he did not complete it until he died on the operating table.
For example, Wu Baige wants to film "The Wheel of Taiping" all his life.
Wu Baige's life was turbulent. From Vietnam to Hong Kong to Hollywood until he returned to China to film, he always had a sense of family and country in his heart...
In fact, the selection of materials in the movie is like the ingredients in the hands of a chef. A capable chef can also make a variety of flavors and tastes even a piece of tofu!
Natural disasters in national history are actually a good selection of materials for films, but Director Wu did not do it well...
In fact, it can be seen from "The Wind Whisperer" that he is not good at long-term vision and big scenes.
Lacking basic military knowledge and logic, I also have to film "The Wheel of Taiping"...
You have dreams, o**k!
But you can't make a bad movie in the name of your dreams and shake your head: 'The market is not good!'
Sorry, the market doesn’t pay for feelings!
...
The script structure of "Fireworks in the Day" is very simple. It is a story about a man who lives in a downturn, seeks opportunities again, visits the murderer, finds the truth, takes advantage of the situation, and finally makes great achievements!
The male protagonist Zhang Zili: divorce, a down-and-out policeman, drinking every day and giving up on himself, and being very eccentric about sex and love, machismo...
When he first met the heroine, he wanted to possess her from the most primitive impulse when he saw the beauty. Even if his colleagues persuaded him to "Who is unlucky with whom", he couldn't help but feel hungry. But later, Zhang Zili suddenly became very upright, and finally reported her to the heroine, betraying Wu for his career.
Of course, you can understand that he is trying to free the heroine...
This movie is really suitable for show--naturally creating a sense of form!
Of course he would make such a movie. Don’t forget that the first movie "Border Storm" is a work with a sense of form that exceeds narrative!
Lu Xiaoran finished writing the script in one night, then thought about it, and when the filming of "Search" was finished, he casted the project...
However, he always felt that "The Fireworks in the Day" was a bit bad, and the worst thing was the heroine, who was too weak...
Most of the heroines in a black crime movie have a femto-scorpion personality, but the heroine of "The Fireworks in the Day" is submissive...
The auxiliary also told him that the reputation of "The Daylight Fireworks" is not as good as "The Invisible Guest" and "The Unparalleled"...
But this movie won the award.
Husky advised Lu Xiaoran not to make random changes and just take pictures like this!
How to say it, Xiao Luzi wants to use an award to prove that he can not only win box office, but also earn awards!
And if you want to take it, take the three major European countries!
Golden Horse Award?
Who cares about trampling on horses?
Otherwise, I always feel that I lack confidence!
His Duniang Encyclopedia, the winning record column, only the movie part is the Best New Director of the Hundred Flowers Award, the Best New Director of the Chinese Film Huabiao Award, and the Best Screenwriter of the Golden Rooster Award...
By the way, at the Chinese Film Media Awards, he won the Best Director for "Saving Mr. Wu". At the Beijing College Film Festival last year, he also won the Best Director for "Traveler Love in Time and Space"...
But there is no one with weight!
The three Chinese gold medals are recognized as valuable awards!
Golden Horse>Golden Figure=Golden Rooster…
This is the sort...
His fans went out to fight with others and were embarrassed to give awards when they were fighting for their status. They just talked about box office...
I always feel sorry for them...
Even for the sake of the movie fans, Teacher Lu has to shoot a winning work, preferably the kind that wins the game with one blow!
Chapter completed!
