"Then, tell me your opinions...be real, don't make it big, and don't be too emotional. We also have comrade Zongju here today, let's welcome him."
After saying that, a man in a jacket stood up next to the third master and bowed slightly to the front and back.
Mr. San left the stage and left the microphone on top.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ning Hao.
Ning Hao is recognized as a leader among the new generation of directors. From "Crazy Stone" to now, he has gained experience. The narrative style of his works clearly draws on "Two Smoking Barrels", which is acceptable to the audience and not to the director.
I think the degree of loss is quite a coincidence.
As we all know, Third Master also admires him very much.
Ning Hao was not polite, he went up and took out a small piece of paper, bowed his head to thank the leader and colleagues, and then began to read: "I may release a movie this year or next year called "No Man's Land"... and the previous one.
The works are the same, the cost is not big, and there are no famous actors. It may be the standard that you can expect at the beginning...but I still have expectations for its box office."
At this pause, everyone applauded him belatedly.
"Making a movie is a very personal thing. You all know the classic story rhythm, and it's not uncommon... Let me tell you my experience."
Ning Hao stretched out two fingers and bent them one by one.
"The first is to grind the play. I am used to locking the main actors, including me, in a room for a few days, and correcting the script word for word. Anyone who has an opinion can put it forward until
Until there are no more obstacles.”
"The second is when filming, allow the actors to perform as long as the filming can continue, and don't interrupt them... There is a section in "No Man's Land" where I asked the actress to pole dance, and Bald Xu was watching from the bottom... Of course,
I also watched it in front of the monitor."
Everyone was amused, and some brave enough whistled.
"Suddenly, the actress jumped and sat on Xu Guangtou. Xu Guangtou was stunned, but he continued to act... I know this section is different from the script I wrote, but I think it is true...
…I heard that some directors are overbearing and strong, and do not allow actors to express themselves at all… I personally think there is no need to be so strict. Movies cannot be liked by just following the steps.”
Other directors interrupted in the middle, and Ning Hao answered patiently.
This kind of seminar is high-level, but it is not that serious. If the lecture is not good, it is normal to be questioned on the spot and slapped in the face.
Don't talk about Ning Hao. Before he became a national master, people were questioning him, saying that his idea for the Olympics was ugly, a disaster, and a nightmare.
The second one is Lu Chuan. Director Lu's recent reputation has been terrible. "Nanjing! Nanjing!" can't even bear to hate the Kuomintang. I don't know what he is doing.
Because Zongju's people were there, Lu Chuan did not act awkward, but emphasized: "Time is the end point of all evaluations."
This statement is similar to Chen Kaige's "It will take five years for you to understand my movies." Now there is a saying that Lu Chuan is a super low-profile version of Chen Kaige, with similar movie styles and life experiences.
.
Lu Chuan finally wished that "Ning Hao's new movie "No Man's Land" will be released as soon as possible and become a hit!"
Ning Hao surrendered to him from below.
who is the next?
Who dares next?
The atmosphere became subtle, and the people in the front row were eager to try, but in the end they didn't go up. Fang Yi was calmly waiting for the winner, but he heard the third master calling his name.
"Fang Yi!"
Fang Yi took the stage, took the microphone, and looked around. The so-called colleagues are enemies, and these colleagues did not accept him now.
Why?
Is that face of yours too intrusive for our directing industry? Is it the second-hand foil of a good-looking star?
The third master reminded him, "Fang Yi, please tell the truth. Wasn't "Love After Life" a good box office box office? I heard that you directed part of it. We are not to follow the example, we are just here to discuss it."
"Let everyone talk and nothing will change the world."
Fang Yi's original plan was to promote his DJ drone and talk about new technologies at the scene, but it was too early and it was not the right time.
He temporarily changed the topic and started from his standpoint:
"I won't talk about the shooting skills. Zhuyu comes first. I'm not qualified to talk about it... Let's talk about the pitfalls we encountered when the movie was released. I think it's unfair to new directors."
Everyone was interested when he said this, and the noisy voices suddenly stopped.
"Nowadays, movies are generally released to theater managers across the country. They are qualified and on the front line. Logically speaking, they have good judgments about market conditions, so they have a great say in the attendance rate... But,
Those in the mountains are confused, so their judgment may not be correct.”
"For example, when the film "Love Is After Life" was shown to theater managers, some people knew that the quality was good, but they refused to schedule the film a few days ago because we did not have an international chapter and they did not believe that we could make a comeback...
…This idea is quite unfair to new directors.”
"Another problem is that the adjustment of the scene rate can be faster, and it should not be adjusted until three or four days. Since we are making genre films and supporting mid-range films, we must pay attention to the importance of one or two days of critical schedules for mid-range films; if
"Love Is Afterlife" was made into a pure romance film, but it didn't get a good reception on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the subsequent word-of-mouth counterattack was in vain."
"Movie tickets are still a light luxury product for our country. They have not entered ordinary households and are consumed within a period of time. No matter how good the movie is, the audience will not spend money to watch another one...
If things go on like this, it will be difficult for new directors to get ahead, and they will always die at the first step."
Fang Yi saw Zong Ju's comrade writing vigorously, and the third master nodded frequently.
Even Ning Hao and Lu Chuan were clapping.
The third master asked him: "Many of our things now are copied from Hollywood. When a blockbuster is released, you have to sign a contract to ensure the arrangement of the film. You can't just change it if you want. The theater chains also have difficulties."
When "The Promise" was released, the distributor signed a contract with major theaters to show the attendance rate - many people wondered why they were still showing such a bad movie, because they had to show it.
The contract is written in black letters on a white background.
Screening is still a new thing in China and is not a normal business method.
"Heroes" was screened, but in order to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; "The Promise" was screened, but the reviews were quite poor, so the distributor organized review reviews and planned to increase the signing rate.
This thing called Dianying is a chamber pot. People only use it when they are in a hurry, but they don't think it's formal in the morning.
Fang Yi replied: "Hollywood also has advance screenings, test screenings, etc., which have received positive feedback from the audience, and theater chains are more willing to sacrifice big and small ones. This is what I think. In our country, the film industry is not only
It’s not just an entertainment product that’s sold for money.”
"He does have ideological factors and is part of the cultural front, so it is even more important to listen to the opinions of the people and not let insiders play their own games and let the big ones suppress the small ones."
After saying that, Fang Yi received increasing applause and comments from his peers, unlike the quiet one before he took the stage.
