Commercial films should avoid being top-heavy. What does top-heavy mean?
Basketball player Jordan won the championship for six seasons. Especially after his first comeback in his career, he trained hard and won three consecutive championships. After Jordan came back for the second time, he joined the Wizards. Although he was also very good, it was a pity that he
Not only did they fail to win the championship, they didn't even make the playoffs.
So as the director of Jordan's documentary, you shouldn't devote half of the space to his second comeback, because it will make the audience unhappy and a bit high and low. Unless you are a fan of Jordan, or after Jordan's second comeback,
Although he failed, he achieved much greater achievements in other undertakings and reached a new peak.
For commercial films, the last dance must be glorious.
Guo Fan said: "How to complete this story? A story must have a beginning and an end. Now this story involves two 'hims', the first one is him in 2012..."
Fang Yi interrupted: "It's 2013."
Guo Fan was stunned: "Isn't 13 years next year?"
"It's something that will happen next year. If everything goes well, relevant clips can be selected and edited into our movie."
Guo Fan continued: "Okay, so the first explanation is that after experiencing the Korean War in 13 years, he returned to the future. What kind of changes did he have? What kind of insights did he get? This story
It’s not written down now.”
After looking at Fang Yi's face, Guo Fan considered: "Then there is the second explanation, 'him' in 1951. We know that 'him' disappeared because he returned to modern times and was eventually treated as a heroic sacrifice.
But there has to be a story when a person disappears. Is it going to end like this? The audience will be very sorry. What kind of plot did his disappearance promote and what kind of changes caused - we know the ending of the Korean War.
, cannot surprise the audience, so this change needs to happen to people who return to modern times in 2013."
Guo Fan spoke faster and faster, stringing his thoughts together, and was quite excited: "I think there needs to be an interaction between 'him' who disappeared in 1951 and him in 2013 across time and space. Director Fang, do you think my idea is right?
?”
Fang Yi smiled and said: "That's absolutely correct."
"Then how did you arrange this encounter across time and space?"
Fang Yi took out his mobile phone and searched for a message to show to Guo Fan. This was a piece of news:
"China and South Korea will launch the return operation of the first batch of volunteer soldier remains in 2013."
Guo Fan jumped up with excitement: "I know, I know!"
"What do you know?"
"In 2013, he was re-enlisted and assigned to the operation to receive the remains of volunteer soldiers. He took his comrades home from 1951 - both alive and dead. Now everyone has an account, and he can return to his home.
Assemble.”
Fang Yi said: "Look, you understood it as soon as I mentioned it, so I didn't tell anyone else. It's a pretty good idea, but once it's leaked, it won't be as shocking as the movie watching... You know
How do I take the photo?"
"All ears."
"I want to suppress the excitement first, let the audience be disappointed first, and whet their appetite. Most of the comrades are dead, and the protagonist in 1951 is also missing, but we know that the war is finally won, but they can't be seen. The audience sees
I feel so sorry, so sad, so pity when I see this one... I want to turn my perspective under the soil, to the dust-covered remains, and wave the shovel again and again. Sixty years later, all the comrades will see the light of day again. They see
The new transport aircraft in the sky saw the red five-star red flag draped on them, and they were handed over to the Chinese side. While holding the red flag, the privates in officer uniforms were saluting. The perspective moved up. It was back to 2013.
main character."
Guo Fan couldn't help but sniffed and said with emotion: "So, we are finally reunited. It's a happy ending again. Sure enough, we still have a happy ending."
Fang Yi raised his phone again, asking Guo Fan to think about the news: "Fortunately, reality reaches a happy ending earlier than our movie."
Guo Fan said: "I think a great director must not only understand technology, but also have a humane side and be full of warmth. It's like a rock singer. He has a high technical level, but he ultimately spreads to the world.
, often his ballads... When I was young, I liked rock music because it was cool and handsome. Although I soon realized that I didn't have the talent to be a rock singer, I gradually stopped paying attention to it. Now that I think about the songs, I still remember them.
, they are all simple and beautiful songs.”
Fang Yi then sang the ballad of rock singer John Lennon: "Imagine all the people/living in peace and tranquility/you might say I'm dreaming/but I'm not the only one..."
Guo Fan listened quietly: "I don't have any suggestions anymore. I just want to wait for this movie to be filmed."

The investment in the new film was huge and it required a lot of actors. It spread quickly and widely. Zhang Chaoyang, who had always been in contact with Fang Yi, hosted a treat in the capital and invited him and Ma ET to dinner.
Mr. Zhang’s career is now rising steadily. By inviting the official accounts of various units to join in and creating a fan economy to promote daily activity, the Souhu scarf has a tendency to surpass the Xinlang scarf. However, Mr. Zhang definitely does not think that his leadership is good. On the contrary, he has intensified his efforts.
He believes in Buddhism and burns incense all day long in his office. It is said that the ashes are reused to fertilize the potted plants at his home.
The stock price of Souhu has been rising steadily this year. The reason is that Lao Zhang has repeatedly fought with the boss of Xinlang in order to vent his anger on Fang Fo, and threatened to have an offline fight to have a medieval duel between men.
Therefore, investors believed that Lao Zhang worked hard for the Souhu scarf business, worked hard and stayed up late at night, showed strong combat effectiveness and aggressiveness, and would surely lead Souhu to a new peak. This common vision eventually affected reality in reverse, causing the stock price to rise.
However, Xinlang Bib's performance was not crazy enough. He did not do anything from theology to force, and did not dare to challenge, so he retreated steadily.
Kaka, as expected, must strike hard!
In a club in Beijing, Fang Yi, Ma et and Lao Zhang chatted about industry gossip for a while, and then got down to business.
Ma et hopes that its Ali Culture can participate in the investment of Fang Yi's new film and use it as a good start for Ali culture. Ma et said: "I want to take a film and kick open the door of the entertainment industry to see what's going on inside. What on earth is that.”
Of course Fang Yi agreed, this matter had been agreed upon long ago.
Ma et's ambitions don't stop there: "I also want to have a deeper cooperation with your film company. All the films you make in the future, including the ones you shot before, will be broadcast on our platform."
Fang Yi glanced at Lao Zhang: "The previous one has been sold to Souhu Video. In the future, I plan to put it on my own video network, the video network called Lightning Protection and Lightning Protection - now is not a good time to sell copyrights."
There are not many people in the market now, and there are not many works, but there are many wealthy people who want to attract traffic.
